INGALLS, PRESENT.
WASHINGTON, February lion Saturday
last Senator ingalls, mail contained a
small pink wrapped box four inches long,
two inches wide and little more than an
inch thick, On being opened, the box was
found to contain one of the Union Metallic
Cartridge company's "Star" cartridges
with the following inscribed on 1t: "Elec-
ton pill for old Cuff or for ingalls,; from
Jackson, Miss. Come to see us, old nut
Calls
Senator Ingalls, was alarmed at the con-
tents of his mail, but both he and his secre-
tary thought it prudent to lay the cartridge
carefully away, as there was possibility
that it might be more destructive
than an ordinary cartridge. There was a
slight fear that the powder and shot might
have been extracted and replaced by some
more powerful explosive, The senator
however, was of the opinion that it was a
plain buckshot cartridge, and the reporter
subsequently ascertained this to be a fact
by prying off the shell, revealing large
buckshot and large charge of powder
Even this it was thought was not particu-
larly pleasant present and too, may turn
out to be sorry one for the perpetrator, as
it is violation of the postal laws to send
explosives through the mails.
