A horrible bridal night expert.
ence is reported from Rio Grande
del Sur, near the Uuraguay from
tier. A young farmers marriage
was postponed on account of his
being bitten by mad dog. The
wound was cauterized and all went
well. Three months later the doctors
declared all danger over. The mar
riage took place. A supper follow
ed, and at supper the bridegroom
was noticed to fall into gloomy alb.
straction. After supper came
dancing, and when the ball was at
it's height the bride and bridegroom
withdrew. About an hour later
piercing screams came from the
bridal chamber. The door was
burst open. On the floor lay the
bride, still alive, but torn as though
by a wild beast. The bridegroom,
covered with blood, and foaming at
the mouth, covered in a corner, but
in moment sprang upon one Of the
men, when a brother Of the dying
bride sent a bullet through his
brain.

Forty years ago it cost 8 cents
to send a letter from New York to
Brook yn: 10 cents to send it tc
burg; 10! to Catskill, 1S3 tc
Saratoga, and rs to Cincinnati. A
bold step taken by Congress in 1851,
declared that a single letter should
be carried anywhere in the country
within 5000 miles for 3 cents.
There had been one intermediate
step, half dozen years before, re.
ducing the postage to 5 cents for a
distance Of 300 miles or less, and
to Is cents above that distance.
The last Congress reduced letter
postage to two cents, the new rate
to 60 into effect Oct. list next.

At the Republican State conyen
ton in Ohio last Wednesday Judge
J. B. Foraker, young lawyer OF
Cincinnati, was nominated for Gov
ernor. A movement to give the
nomination to Senator Sherman
was defeated by the Senator him
self. Judge Foraker is about forty
years Of age and has considerable
reputation professionally. He is
quite popular III Hamilton county
and was undoubtedly brought out
for the nomination for Governor on
account of his apparent ability to
harmonic the Republican vote and
carry that county. The platform
is sturdy and candid statement of
Republican principles and will com.
mend itself to the support Of all
classes of patriotic citizens.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsH1NGTON. Time ,

! WASHINGTON, June Z. 1888.
It IS thought that the reduction
of thirty or forty in the number OF
Internal Revenue Districts will
take effect October 1st and that
most of the changes will be in
Northern States. This latter
fact is naturally unpleasant ia
our Southern friends, who, rightly
or wrongly, believe that every Rev
enue District is Republican
headquarters. There is much dis.
cussion here, and I think it is
greater now than ever before, about
the policy and propriety of abol-
ishing the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau entirely, stopping this tax up
on all articles except liquors and
tobacco, and enforcing that tax by
means Of stamps. The subject will
be heard from in Congress next
| winter.
| don't like to mention the star.
route cases always, but they are
really the most interesting Incl.
dents Of the day here. Mr.. Mer-
rick, who has occupied the week in
his argument for the Government,
and has not yet concluded, has
made decidedly strong impression
on the crowds hocking to hear him.
Some go so far as to say no ADLER
argument than his has ever been
delivered in the District. He is
certainly pleasing as we'll as i'm
p:essive speaker. Speculations as
to the result of the trial are as wide
apart as ever.
The tariff and internal revenue
reductions are felt at the Treasury.
However, the public debt was re-
duccd nearly five millions in the
month just closed, and this not
withstanding enormous drafts for
the quarterly pension payment of
last Monday. A much larger re-
duction is anticipated for June.
Speaking of pensions reminds me
that in a short time ten volumes of
five hundred pages each will be is.
sued from the gov eminent printing
office, giving the name and post
Office address Of every pensioner on
the rolls. These books are issued
in obedience to an act which passed
Congress after urgent effort on the
part Of Senator Beck Of Kentucky,
and suspicious and sanguine people
think the publication will lead to
the detection of a vast number of
persons fraudulently receiving,pen-
sions. Twenty years experience
here, involving some connection
with the Pension Office, conyinces
me that few cases Of actual fraud
will be found to exist. No doubt
thousands are on the rolls whose
disabilities are so slight that the
spirit of the law hardly contem.
plated making them pensionable,
but the improper cost to the gov.
eminent in such cases is due rather
to an in inadequate system of adj
justment Of claims than to fraud.
There seems to be no sufficient rea-
son for the suspicion which caused
Senator Beck to introduce his bill.
bat the attention called by it to the
whole subject may have good eff
feet.

George G. Hill, Of Huron, reports
finding in Campbell county the
skeletons Of three adults and two
children. There were small patch
es of hair remaining on the skulls,
which settled, beyond doubt, in
the minds of the DISCOVERIES, that
the bones were those of whites. One
identified DIS the body of man, had
It's skull crushed at the base. A
close inspection of the surroundings
showed very plain marks of plow-
ing, and, although the breaking was
almost obliterated by the sod, the
outlines Of the burrows are still Wis.
ible. A few feet from which the
skeletons lay was heap Of char.
coal. AS small shred Of calico and
a portion Of wooden stocking was
found on the heap Of charcoal, there
can be no doubt but that the inmate
Of the pioneer home were whites, but
whether they were burned or starv.
ed to death, or massacred by the
Indians is a mystery.

The ONO ELECTIONS. -M1NNEsorA
A SAFE REPUBLICAN STATE
GOVERNOR HUBBARD's MERITS
PRESIDENT ARTHUR AND CIVIL
SERVICE Reform. The Brook
LYN BRIDGE HORROR.
It is singular what an amount Of
interest the coming Ohio Guber-
material election excites throughout
the country. Ohio politicians are
everywhere in demand for news
and views. I was speaking about
the matter to a prominent Ohio
Republican at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel the other day, and he said:
IL cannot understand at all, for |
am positive that we have got the
race won already. You see we are
fully and perfectly organized, we
have no serious discussions, and
all of us are determined to nomiu-
ate none but the best for the office
of Governor. Now what can the
Democrats do? They are so divid.
ed and subdivlded, their organiza-
ton is loose and when you ask ope
of them why he expects that his
party will carry the State, he can
give yon nothing but his own as
surance.
'sHow about Minnesota?'' | ask
ed. s'That is a safe Republican
State, and for the coming State
elections, [ think that the present
incumbents will be renominated.
Governor Hubbard has certainly
earned this recognition of his mer-
it's
President Arthur's and Secretary
Folger's civil service reforms meet
with general approval, although
among the professional Office seek
ers there is a howl of discomfort.
The President is doing great
work for the party. He is enabling
lit to go before the country in 1884
with a clean, bright record, and
urge its claims to public recogni-
ton with more force than ever. He
is model President, and all the
more so as he is not wasting time
and opportunities by going in train
ing::himself for 1884.
| The feeling Of horror over the
frig htful calamity on the East Riv
er Bridge on Decoration Day has
not yet abated, but such is the
curiosity of human nature that now
crowds are attracted to see the spot
where crowds are crushed. Oh
course it was easy to forsee that
the number Of bridge policemen
was not sufficient to preserve order
among large crowd, and force
them to obey the order which pro.
vides that people going to Brooklyn
take one side Of the road and those
returning take the other. But al
best the people have no one tc
blame but themselves. The aver.
age American crowd is possessed by
so insane a desire to move on that
it will take almost any risk to &C.
compllsh it's purpose. It is said
in some papers that the crush was
mainly produced by a crowd Of
roughs and pick-pockets who in.
tended to make the most of the op.
portunity. This is nothing but
senseless sensational talk. The
way the police arrangements are
now carried on in this city makes
such gathering an absolute impos
sibility, and most of all at such a
public place as the entrance of the
Bridge.
