NORWICH, CoNy, July Down in the
picturesque and rugged town of North
StoningtOn the last remnant of the once
powerful tribe of Pequot Indians live on
State reservation set off to tltem more than
a hundred years ago. They are about half
civilized and are rapidly dying out, the vic
tins of the white mans cupidity and mean
ness. Their hopses are shanties and bark
huts, and they subsist by farming, hunting
and fishing. Their little village is on the
shore of Lantern Hill Pond and to the east
of them, on the mountain side, is the old
Indian burying ground, which contains the
ashes Of many thousand Pequots. 1t has
been the tribal cemetery for centuries and
is an object of interest to everyone. Lately
it has been cursed with pale-faced relic
hunters and the Indians have been put 10
much trouble to keep them away. Yester-
day stranger struck spade into the large
mound over the tomb OF one Of the Pequot
kiugs, the one which is said BY the Indians
to be the grave of Sassacus, and had dug in
four or five feet before he was discovered.
Instantly he was the object Of pursuit OF a
half dozen Indians with their dogs and
shining revolvers. He fed to his boat, rap
idly rowed across the pond and so escaped
from them The Indians have reverently
filed up the grave. They threaten TO shoot
the first of the vandals they find prowling
vbout the cemetery hereafter.

Lula, finding herself released, grew furious,
and, grasping an ax, slipped TO her father,
who had his back toward her, and buried
the AK in his head. He died three hours

dimly lighted by one window on which the

was seen that the young mans arms and
legs were strapped together and tina, he
was bound nth ropes His hands were
tightly clenched, and at intervals bark
like dogs would come from his froth-cov-

approached him. His face was ashy
pale and covered With prespiration.
He was John Donaldson and suffer

took him to the lookup Il was learned
that he had a sister Mrs Meiningcr. living
on Howard street, where he usually stopped.
Dr. Wright ordered his immediate removal
10 this place, as the lookup was not suited
for such case. Donaldson was taken to
Mrs. Meiningers, S, where he was seen to-day.
After being taken to the house Donaldson bad
another attack, more severe than the FIRST.
Although he is Of slender build he threw
codple ofmen who attempted to subdue him,
and so great was his strength during tho

weak and lie perfectly quiet. The only

ton Bill.


ton Bill.
WASHINGTON, July Randall who has
charge of the Naval Appropriation bill in
the House, called up tfe conference report
ON that measure, and an exceedingly inter
esting debate ensued. Randall in present
ing the report asked the House to adhere to
the original action against the Senate
amendments fer monitors and cruisers.
He maintained that the House should
not allow these cruisers to be
built until some evidence was obtained
that the one now under way would prove a
success. He asserted that there was cyI-
dence from the best naval constructors OF
this country that the principle upon which
they were being built was erroneous and
that they would not accomplish what was
designed for them. He notified the House
that he wanted it to determine to-day
whether the House would yield to the de-
mands ofthe Senate, and he would notattempt
any further conference with the Senate con-
cerning the disputed points Of the bill.
Calkins and other Republicans replied, de-
nying that there was any evidence that the
cruisers under way would be failures. and
insisting it was the duty of Congress to pro-
vide navy to defend our interests and pro-
tect the interests of American citizens
Calkins made an earnest appeal to the Dem
ocrats to recede and adopt the Senate
amendments and made motion to that
effect. This was defeated by party vote
except that some half dozen voted with the
Republicans The House then determined
to adhere to its former action and no fur
ther attempts at agreement will be made by

Of them 20 back to 1871. His brother
Robert G. Blaine had in that year an aP-
pointment at the capital which was worth
81, ,l6O. Subsequently the pay was increased
but lately he has been glad to get
a place at Sl,4OO. But he has drawn
a salary from the United States continuously
for thirteen years. The appointment OF
Major Blaine in the pay corps of the army
was effected by trade with Gen. Grant. 1t
was about the time when Fred Grant was
made a Lieutenant-Colonel on Sheridan's
staff. The Army Ring was in full blast,
and among other jobs was the increase ot
the pay corps without any corresponding
increase in the army. Blaine lent his aid
to the scheme on condition of putting his
brother in with the rank of Major. Taking
the $50, 900 of 1880 as q starting point, it is
moderate estimate that the Blaine family
has cost the people $4,000 every year
since 1876
