HORRIBLE SUFFERINGS.
The Cruelty OF a Constable and HIS
Posse.

CHICAGO, April ia dispatch from
Muscatine, Ind, gives particulars of the
terrible experience Of fugitive from a
constable's posse in Goshen township, q
week ago Saturday night.
About midnight on that night Constable
Stafford and Eve others went to the house
of Daniel Foss, a newly arrived German,
to search for stolen goods which Foss was
charged with having received.
Foss, who does not understand Eng
lish, became terrified on the approach OF
the posse, armed with guns and ran out
in the snow barefooted and clad only in
pantaloons and drawers. He started in
the snow across the prairie and the posse
followed firing three shots nj the fugitive.
He was chased a mile or more until he
reached Cedar river.
After running along the bank of the
river short distance he plunged III and
SWAIN across. His parsuers thinking he
had fleen swept under the ice abandoned
the chase and went home.
on Monday morning Foss was found
clinging TO wire fence, up to his knees
in ice and watur, lie was rescued by q
Mr.. Halleck, who summoned medical aid
| when ii was found that both the sufferers
feet and hands were frozen, and that lit
was terribly mangled and bruised by the
sharp brlers and ice through which lac
ran and swan.
Foss states that when he swan the
Cedar river he reached q small tree sur
rounded by water which concealed him
and to this he chung all through that
night, Sunday and sunday night.

The remains of Senator Carpenter
reached Milwaukee, on Saturday after
noon, and were escorted by a military and
civil procession to the court house, where
they We're laid in state. The citizens
turned out almost in Il body and throngcd
the streets along the route of the process
sion. The intcrment took place yester-
day afternoon, in Forest Home cemetery,
near that city. Almost the whole popu.
lation again turned out to honor the
deceased Senator and the throng was
swelled by thousands from different parts
OF tho state. The funeral procession
almost mile in length, included military
and civic organizations, stat. officers
members Of the Legislature aud Tie rlil
government, judges, United states ciyi

ton, has called on President Garfield and

tors, and found him also deeply inter-
ested in the matter. 4
He informed Mr.. 0oode that it was his
intention TO secure q large man. ot-war for

CASCELLISt4 POSTAGE STAMPS.
SCREENING Instead of Ink stamping
To- Prevent EramIn.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
The post office authorities of this city
thing they have arrived at a practical
and thorough solution of the question OF
prevention OF second use of postage stamps,
which is u fraud that has been practiced by
washing oil the ink with acids after the
stamping of first use. Persons engaged
in this cheating of the Government have
been very ingenious in deyising modes OF
doing the unlawful washing. A new pro-
cess of cancellation has been invented
and brought into use iii the post Office
here. 1t is to scorch the stamps. Speci-
mems of the new process shown by Assist.
ant Postmaster PerSon shows very effective
work against the fraud of second use OF
the stamps, the cancellation mark being
absolutely iudelible. The imprint made
is just tn" same as that made by the ink
stamp, except that it is slightly burned
or scorched instead Of being an ink i'm
preston. The new stamp is heated by
gas, the new metal being thin, to allow
OF quick heating and rapid cooling. 1t is
used the same as an inll-stalnp but
with saving Of time that will enable the
person using it to do twice the work
that an ink-stamp would. IL can b,
used in all Offices where gas is burned
An experienced hand with an ink STAN
cancels about l25 stamps per.lninute.

there was small quantity of wood ashes,

The boy put the entire quantity around

Matthews, McNeal, stayton and 7. N.
Williams, were in favor of the bill, and
at least one more member from Kent
and one from Sussex were apparently in
favor OF it ct first till some
inexplisable influence turned them
around. But at the very last, If the
New Castle county delegation had stood |
solid, as it was bound to do to save any
claim to consistency, the bill would have
secured the two-thirds vote necessary to
its passage and become a law. To the
complete change OF front by Measrs Brad
ford Eliason, Townsend and Woodbeepe
Of the New Castle delegation, is due the
defeat Of this measure, aud no number of
ingenious but disingeuuous statements
can relieve them from the responsibility.
All the points in the address we have
thus far criticised have been mere twist
ings Of facts, auppressions and evasions
intended to deceive, but&''with respect to
the charge that Anthony Higgins, ESD,
"intueneed or attempted to influence the
"members OF the New Castle county dele

Of these very signers to testify in support
OF onr declaration and against the state
iuent he must surely have signed without
reading it. This probably is the part Of
the statement which it was most desired
10 get before the people and this part we
pronounce absolutely false, while the re-
mainder is, as we have shown, disin-
genuous and Observation-Disclosures.
And now one word as TO the politics in
by others rather than by EVERY EvESISG.
We declared in the beginning Of the
railroad agitation that the only politics
in the matter was this, that no political
party could afford to have majority OF
, its Representatives. favor monopoly and
: refuse I charter. We made this declare

! likely to vote against the measure then
. pending were Democrats Does any one
imagine that Il was the Journal
