stump, catching his legs between it and
the load, breaking both above the ankle.
L. A. Meister, Of Lacrosse, agent of
the Buffalo German Insurance company,

garding the insurance business, having
once before been arrested.

having been unable to help himself had
lain exposed long enough to have both
ears frozen solid, while both hands were
frozen nearly to the wrist. He was
given immediate attention, but his hands
are so badly nipped that it is feared
amputation will be necessary Had he
lain much longer he would have frozen
to death.

A MODEL MARSHAL,

abused his Amthority-A Defamiter and
Btachmaiter.

HOtU the United States Marshal ~ Georgia
AJused his AMthOrity-44 Defautter aud
BlacEMdiIer.
Washington Special Dec. 3D to Chicago
- Tribune
The charges against Marshal Fits i'm
mons, of Georgia, are even more serious
than was at first supposed, and, from the
present temper of the commissioner, it is
nearly certain that Fitzsimmons will be
removed. Gen. Raum has been, for the
last eighteen months, endeavoring to
secure the dismissal of this officer The
charges in general are neglect of duty
and malfessance. Gen. Raum has, dur
ing that period, forwarded number of
very strong letters to the secretary of the
treasury. There are OH file in the Office of
the attorney general numerous aftidavitS
and reports Of special agents OF the
treasury department, who have examined
into the case, making the most serious
accusations, and these are said to be &C
accompanied by proofs. The commits
sioner charges Fitzsimmons with having
defrauded the government of between
SIS 600 and $40, 900. Fitzslmmons is also
charged with having repeatedly arrested
persons on Fictitious charges for the sake
of the fees, which were paid by the gov
eminent, and in many ways either OBJ
structed or maladministered the laws.
One case is cited, as an illustration, where
q deputy marshal meets colored man
with small quantity of tobacco, and
who, upon solicitation, sells the deputy a
piece of it, though he originally intended
it for his own use. Thercupon the
deputy discloses the fact that he
is an officer, and informs the astonished
negro that he has violated the law, and
is under arrest. In such a case, the
man on trial is acquitted, but the fees
are collected of the government the same
as if the case had been one of genuine in
fraction of the laws. There are also
numerous instances in the papers on
file like the following: A dealer in to-
baccco omits to pay his license-fee at the
proper time, and afterwards pays both
fee and penalty of so per cent, his. only
fault having been forgetfulness. In such
case the dealer is arrested, and formal
proceedings are instituted against him.
The rule of the Office is, where there is
no intent to violate the law or defraud the
government, to let the offender
off without punishment. 1t
is also charged that, in some in
stances, lives have been sacrificed through
the cupidity OF worse of this officer. All
these charges, and many more, have been
the subject of Commissioner Raum's cor
respondence with Secretary Sherman. 1t
is understood that Marshal Fitzsimmons
will soon come to Washington to make a
reply to the charges against him, and to
defend himself with all his personal in
fuence Should he be removed, it is
thought that Mr.. Kimball, of the Kimball
house, Atlanta, Georgia, large manu-
facturer, will be his successor. Kimball
is Northern man, having been born in
Connecticut, but has long resided in
Georgia, where he has invested consider
able means.

THE SUNDAY SCIENCE CLASS.

Il Ferry Interesting Session at the Icademy
Of Natural Sciences Yesterday.
AT the meeting of the Sunday Scences class
yesterday the first hour was devoted to the
topic, "The physical forces and their effects
upon the earth's crusts." DR.. Barnard read
lengthy, comprehensive and carefully prepared
paper, treating the various theories commonly
known.
Prof. Morey followed in the presentation of
his-which he claims as original in himself
theory of the causes of light and
heat. He claims that heat is created by
the arresting of the lights rays by the earth's
surface--and not as claimed by some of our
philosophers, caused by the vibration of
light.
Mr.. Alexander thought it was caused solely
by vibration, however. Very rapid vibration
caused light, but by decreasing the vibration
of objects throughout all space heat was
caused
Other speakers advanced various theories,
but these were the most important.
The second hour was devoted to the subject
Of the Preference Vote" After treating upon
the various, other phases of our
sieg upon the caucus system. He
claimed that fully four-tifths of the rascality
of the public and political officers which
affiicts our nation is directly attributable To
the caucusses. That it had been periodically
sounded by press and pulpit that "the country
is going to the dogs" advocating as mode
of protection against its rascality, going back
to anarchy, etc. He said should an honest
citizen attend a caucus he would find ''cut
and dried' chairman, and find slate all made
up, and to undertake to break that slate would
DC sheer folly. This results in the practical
Acknowledgement of the minority party, which
is unjust in the extreme. In this State
fully four-tenths of the voters were Democrats,
but, strange to say, only one Democrat had
been elected TO our next legislature at the past
election. The voice of the people is certainly
not the voice of the majority but the voice of
all, and hence the minority is entitled to Il rep
resentatvc as well Las the majority.
Some strong exceptions were taken to this
theory by Il certain young Republican. In
politics, he claimed there was no such thing
possible as minority rule, or representation.
The Republican party recognized no such
theory. lie was well satisfied by the present
system. Again he claimed there could bc no
such thing as second choice. A politician
enters the field for principle and votes for
that principle-not for Il second choice lie
could have no second choice, unless il be a
choice of lesser evils. He here referred TO the
caucus system. lie acknowledge Ger
tain corruptions which had come
under his individual noticc--caucuscs
throughout the various wards of the city
being successfully controlled by cut and
dried rings. He thought honest politicians
should attend caucuscs and rcnovatc them
The discussions for next Sunday will
be upon the topic "Miaority Representation,
with Mr.. Alexander us leader; G. II. Du Bots
will read paper on the American aborigines
The class closed its session by electing G..
III. Du Bots as president, and by c-cccting the
balance of its old board of officers.

Delano Eagle, Dee, 80: On Satusday
lChristmas) the dwelling house of j. b.
Jolicours, near Waverly, in section 90,
Marysville, was destroyed by fire. The

Lake City Leader, Dec. %: Last
Wednesday night, Henry Buisson, well

intoxicated and went into the billiard and
liquor saloon Of John McAuliff, IN Waba-
shaw, and, to crafty a grudge, made an
attack with billiard balls on the bar
keeper. One of the balls caromed on the
head OF bystander. Buisson was put
out OF the room, but returned with a club

revolver and shot him in the arm, MAX

Red Wing Advance, Dec. 30: The
Diamond Bluff mail driver, G. H. Durgin,
lost his team by driving into an air hole

Trenton. He.cut the traces and got the
horses loose from the sled, and came near
getting them out, but he was all

THE revelations brought to light by the
special committee investigating the pen
itentiary at Syracuse convict the keepers
of the greatest cruelty. instruments of
torture that would have delighted the
heart of an inquisitor were used upon
the prisoners, whose sufferings must
have been eXcruciating. Many of them,
after being punished by the buck and gag
and the cold water douchc, were con-
fined to their beds for days and often
weeks, and there is a suspicion that some
of the deaths that have occurred in the
institution have been caused by cruel
treatment. The superintendent, a fellow
named Spaulding, seems to be utterly
destitute of humane feeling, and on be-
ing examined pleaded ignorance of the
law as an excuse for his barbarities. He
deserves 10 undergo some of the tortures
he has inflicted upon his unfortunate
victims.
