Further Particulars of That Remarkable
Tragedy

Further Particulars of That Remarkable
Tragedy.
Boston, May 2.-Further particulars
of the Pocasset, Mass, tragedy state
that Freeman, the mail carrier at Po-
casset between the railroad station and
the postoffice, woke his wife at $3.50 on
Thursday morning, and told her he
must make a sacrifice to the Lord of
his youngest daughter. He got up and
took the child from her bed, and stab
bed her in the side with butcher
knife. His wife said it was all right,
and that Abraham would raise her next
Sunday. Freeman says the Child gave
one scream and died in minute. 1t
is stated the second Adventists held a
meeting at his house the same after
noon, and appeared to wish the affair
kept quiet. Freeman carried the mail
as usual and showed no signs of in
sanity. The cause appears to be religi-
GUS excitement alone. Is now at his
residence, in charge of Redding and
DIR. Wood, of Pocasset. Freeman in
formed a reporter to-day that he was
told by God to offer Edith, his young
and beautiful daughter as sacrifice to
God, and he did so, as God would not
stay his hand. He had to do his COM
mand. He said God would justify him
in his act.

Another Religious Lunatic


Boston, May 2.-Chas. F. Freeman,
of Socasset, Mass, yesterday killed his
five year old daughter. Freeman is a
Second Adventist and has been attend
ing revival meetings. About week
ago he claimed to have received "won-
derful revelations" and has not eaten
or slept since. He says the Lord di-
rected him to sacrifie his little daughter,
and declares she will rise again in three
days. Yesterday morning he sent word
to his neighbors that he would make
make the revelation known and offer an
orthodox sacrifice. In the afternoon a
number of Second Adventists assembled
at his house, but the child had then
been killed. The little one was trans
fixed with knife and her blood poured
out upon table, improvised as an al
tar. Freeman had driven every one
from the house and locked and barred
the doors and windows, and having fire
arms threatens death to any one who
interferes. Alone with the dead child
he goes through horrible incantations,
which he says in three days will result
in the resurrection of my beloved
child.n

Vanderbilt's Mission

New York, May 2.-The object of
the visit to the west of Vanderbilt is
puzzling many people, particularly in
Wall street. A Chicago dispatch says
Vanderbilt goes into part ownership Of
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad,
under agreement that he shall have
representation in the direction. His
admission to the directory, it is sur
missed, will be the death knell to the
Iowa pools. He has also, it is believed, ,
been buying into the Chicago & Alton,
and it was stated last evening that he
and Gould were scheming to establish
a close alliance between that line and
the Kansas Pacific. His visit to Kan
sas City and st. Louis is believed to be
in the interest of this project. Other
people assert that his visit is merely to
look after his immense cattle ranches
near Pueblo, Col., which he recently
purchased; and others that he is to Wis.,
it the New York Central stock yards at
Kansas City, which cost one million
dollars.
