THE sToRM AT YAoulNA BAY.

We have just experienced one of the Sc
veriest gales-nothing like it has occurred
since the settlement of the bay. 1t was
southeast, lasted about five hours, and was
terrible in its force. A barn belonging to
j. J. Nye, in Newport, blew down. The
front of the town was washed and damaged
considerably, as the tide was high and the
bay as rough as the ocean itself. VIM.

The barns of Briggs & Denlinger, Sam1 Lo-
gan, Kit Abbey, AL Cloak, F. M. Stanton
and w. w. Davis, all blew down. The
residence of Mark Imbree, on Ollie slough,
was destroyed. The fall of timber was fear
full, and of course temporary buildings,
sheds and fences were laid low.
Vessels at sea, no doubt, suffered, and we
may anticipate the worst. Thefe-is large

SUICIDE OF A FARMER,
Frustrating Himself on tho Track Before .

Frustrating Himself on tho Track Before An
Approaching Train.
A well-to-dO farmer named John ii.
SOper, who lived a few miles from Fred
erick, Nd, committed suicide without
any apparent cause, Oh the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad near Sandy Hook. Soper
was run over by freight train at about
dusk, and when picked up life was extinct. 1t
was supposed that he had been accidental
ly struck, until the statement of 1O-year
old son Of the deceased man showed that
Soper had deliberately placed himself in
front ofthe approaching train and awaited
death. The boy said that he and his
father, who were visiting friends in the
neighborhood, had gone out walking along
the railroad track, Soper conversing upon
various topics apparently in the best OF
humor. Toward dark they turned home
ward, and soon afterward he heard the
whistle of the approaching train. Soper
at this time, according to his sons state
ment, exhibited great excitement, and
exclaimed Charley, you run ahead and
tell them to have supper ready" The boy
Obeyed, but when he had gone few hum
dred feet he CHANGED to look back and was
Mortified to see his father stretched across
the rails directly in the path of the train.
Screaming loudly, he ran back toward his
fathers PROSTATE form, but getting his
feet tangled in some underground beside
the rails, he fell headlong into a ditch,
without being noticed by the engineer of
the train, which at the next instant dashed
by. The child scrambled out of the ditch
and approached the body of his father,
which was horribly mangled. Giving one
look at the ghastly remains, he ran across
the fields, wildly screaming for assistance.

FREEMEN DECLARED INSANE.
The second Adventist Who Killed His Child
After n Vision.

After u Vision.
Charles Freeman, the Second Adventist,
who killed his child in POcasset, last May,
was yesterday arraigned in court, and it
being testified by medical experts that the
man was insane, he was remanded to Jail to
await the May term of the court. when, if
his condition remains the same, he will be
sent to the lunatic asylum. Freeman still
persists in his assertion that that the sac
ritice of his child was a just and proper act
and was demanded of him in a vision. 1t
will be remembered that, after a prolonged
revival in his sect, he awOke his wife in
the early morning of May 1 last and
told her that he had seen God in q
vision, who had required OF him that, as
Abraham had Obeyed the call to sacrifice
Isaac, SO should he offer up his little
daughter Edith as a human sacrific. Then,
after both had prayed, the mother went
back to her bed and Freeman sought a
sharp knife. The tive-year-old daughter
slept in the next room. Bending over her
as she slept, Freemap,- ,-drOve the knife
through her heart. She opened her
eyes and, as the father afterward
freely related the circumstances, cried
out feebly "Oh, papa and died.
Freeman lay down beside his wife again,
and both slept peacefully till morning. He
confidently expected that the child
would rise from the dead on the third day.
Though his neighbors Of the same sect
appear to have known of the murder, none
of them informed the authorities, and it was
only by accident that the crime was dis
closed.

FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. 80, 1880.
In Court.

In answer to Judge PattersOn's rules
on the editors of the INTELLIG ENCEE to
answer for contempt, and to show cause
why they should not be disbarred, they
appeared before the court this morning at
10 O'Clock and answered through their
counsel, Rufus E. Shapley, esq, of the
Philadelphia bar, who read their answer
and:made an argument of more than two
hours length in support of the PROPOSE
tions which the answer maintained.
These in brief were that defendants
were called to answer on one of
four grounds; either for con-
tempt committed in court or out
of court, or for professional misconduct
and breach of fidelity in court or out of
court.
If the charge was contempt in court
the respondents said that they had CON-
mitted none, having promptly and cour-
teously obeyed the judges summons
and respectfully and truthfully answered
his interrogatories, even though they
were not in legal proceeding.
If the charge was based on a publica-
tion out of court, the act of 1886 declares
that courts shall have no power to pun
ish for contempt in such case.
If the charge is for professional mis-
conduct in court none occurred.
If it is alleged that breach of fidelity
was committed in publishing a libel on
the court, such accusation, involving
questions of fact and motive, must be
submitted to trial by jury, under the law
OF the land, and the court is not compe
tent to determine it until after such
constitutional trial.
The pro positions were argued and mum
erous authorities to sustain them CITED
in a speech which the bar and all who
heard it seem to pronounce learned, elO
quent, dignified, respectful and forcible
Judge Patterson took the papers ant
reserved his decision.

Inspector Hammond Making 4 Confession
and Then railing with APOplexy.
Indian Commissioner Hayt was removed
from office yesterday by Secretary Schurz.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Schurz entered
the commissioners office and said : g Mr.
Hayt, you must 60" At the same time he
handed him the following letter
'JAN. 80, 1880.
'sHon. E. 4. Hayt, Commissioner Of Indian
affairs
1T has become my duty to inform you
that the public interest demands change
in the COmmissionership of Indian Affairs,
and that your further services in this office
are dispensed with.
Every respectfully,
sc. ScnuRz."
A committee of he board of Indian COM
missioners has been investigating for some
time charges against Mr.. Hayt, the spe-
cific charge being that he failed to prose-
cute corrupt Indian agent, Que
Hart, because that agent had
interested friends of the COM
missioner in a silver mine about year
ago. Inspector Hammond went to the San
Carlos agency, in the southwestern part of
Colorado, and made a report charging
Hart with all manner of corruption.
About this time Hart sent Commissioner
Hayt specimen of ore from a silver mine
which was on the reservation, but which
mine, by convenient use of surveying
tactics, was placed outside of the reserva-
tiOn. Inspector Hammond fell into line,
and did not present all the facts to the de-
partment, but did 60 to Jersey City, and
whose failure brought about Hayt's in
dictment, was located, found relatives and
friends of Hayt, who embarked in the
mining scheme. General Fisk had a letter
of Hammond's to Hart, granting the lat
ter immunity. Hammond declared the
letter clever forgery, and otherwise per-
jured himself before the commission.
Yesterday morning Hammond ap-
preached Gen. Fisk in the corridor of the
Riggs house and asked for few moments
conversation with him. They retired to
the reading room, and after asking Il few
questions, Hammond said that he was
satisfied he had been made dupe of by
others. He then admitted that the letter
produced by Gen. Fisk was genuine.
Hammond was intensely excited while
making his confession, and as soon as he
had finished speaking he dropped to the
floor in paralytic fit.
He was at once taken to room in the
hotel and he slowly recovered. When able
to speak he sent for Senator Plumb, who
is his friend, and they talked together for
over two hours. 1t is supposed that Ham,
mond made full confession of his case to
Plumb.
Other charges against Mr.. Hayt are in
Gen. Fisk's possession, which would have
been presented had he not been removed.
Mr.. Hayt was personally one of the most

among representatives and senators, who
said that they visited his office with ex-
treme reluctance because of the discount |
