Should he interpose his Tclo they will wait until the legislative bill, with its political riders, has been submitted to him before talcing further action.

Should the legislative bill be vetoed, the same prpgrammo of sending in a separate measure embodying the politi cal riders will be adopted. Although the nAmfwrals have not fully determined the course they will pursue with the appropria tion bills after f'c veto, it is undersUood that onr.ronriat.iona of last year are to be extended 'x months, when they will journ.

The Muu Who Hurdered His Child Under Kellgloua Excitement in Prison Later news from Pocasset, states that Charles F. Freeman and his wife wero arrest ed and committed to prisou for the shocking mnrderof their little daughter. While being taken to prison, on the railway train, Free man addressed the passengers, loudly reitera ting his convictious that he had obeyed a divine mandate, his wife seconding him, and both expressed no anxiety as to the future. Freeman was arraigned at Barnstable to day, in company with Iiis wife. Both maintained their composure and insist that God will fully justify their action and relieve them from all human penalties.

Freeman says that for thirty six hours it had been impressed upon him that be must kill one ot his family, but he was doubtful whether it should be himself his w'fe, his oldest daughter or the little girl. Finally the Lord made it clear to him that it must be the little girl. He did not tell his wife at first. He waked up at half past two on Thursday mornir.g and told bis wife what he was going to do. They talked it over together and both agreed that it was right.

They then knelt by the bed and prayed. He did not tell bis wife at first, because Abraham did not tell his wife when tie went to scrifice lijaac. After they had agreed to kill the child, both went into the room where the two little girls were sleeping together. The man went out to the shop aid procured a large sheath knife with a lung blade, singing all the way out and back, lie taid he never felt so happy in his life. He set the lamp in the chair, and his wife stood by the bed looking on.

He turned the bed olothea down to expose the child, and stabbed her in the left side. Sue awoke, turned (uward up her arms, and said, father." He loik her and held her till she died, which was in i about five minutes. The older girl became partially awake and the mother carried her out of the room liel jre she knew of her Bister daath. Freeman then got into bed with the diad child in his arms and stayed till sfter tylight then he dressed and went to the station for the mail, which he carries. Muet ine Alvin Winir.

there he asked him to notify the Second Adventisis in the neighborhood of a meeting at his house alio clock that afternoon. The Ad veil lists came, supposing it was a ferewcll meeting before Freemau went on his tour as preacher. In meeting Freeman told the whole s.ory of killing the child, and showed the body to them ail. Strange as it may seem, they all kept the matter secret and told no one after the meeting dispersed. Great iodignaalioa exists against Freeman and all the adventists.

The latter stick together and even now have the effrontery to defend Freeman. Freeman said before his arrest that if those who do not believe in God would come to his bouse they would Bfo the wonderful works of the Almighty God; that the child would be raised on Sunday morning and help him preach. The extremist fanaticism, almost beyond belief, seems to inspire the Adventists. When one of the neighbors lirst saw Mrs. Freemau she answered all inquiries about Freeman by saying "The Lord will take care of that Abraham's God will raise her." Freeman says he never felt so tenderly toward bis children as on Wednesday evening when they were put to bed, and he kissed them before he struck the fatal blow.

He hoped that God would stay big hand, as he did Abraham's, but since the death of his cbild he says that the revelation has come that the child will be raised if she is not raised by Sunday morning he will despair. Freeman is 34 years old. Before he became an adventist he was a Methodist probationer. The officers have the kuife with which the murder was committed. Mrs.

Freeman is slight in form and 32 years of age. Neither of the two sljow any fear. Freeman cays be bad a ohance to make a convert by killing his girl, and thinks he is a second Abraham says he loves his daughter better than himsell. Mrs Freeman echoes all her husband says. Many of the neighbors of Freeman sustain him iu Lis course, many of them being well to do farmerii.

An epVort will be at once made to arrest somo of those who wero present at the meeting at Freeman's bouse on the charge of being accessories to the deed. Bosion, May 4.

Boston, May 4. Charles F. Freeman, the Pocasset farmer1 who plunged a knife into the heart of his little daughter Edith on Thursday morning last, became converted to the ultra views of Second Adyenthm about a year ago. This sect, which' has ni'de its appearance in the more sparsely settled parts of Massachusetts With more or less prominence at various times during tbe last 3U years, believed not only in the personal coming of Christ, but quite as firmly in the continuance of revelations, signs, and miracles. Its followers were led to many acts of fanaticism, and by many cif zeus were regarded as crazy on the subject of their religion.

The fanaticism reached its culmination in this most umisturul crime, which has awakened a widespread feeling of horror. it sems incredible that so numerous rue the members of the sect in that part of Csne Cod known as Sandwich, that the crime is excused: yet such is the facf, and the murderer of his own child is upheld, while God is charged I some with having broken His promise to a faithful servant in not restoring the child alive to him. Farmer Freeman became, leader among the Second Adventists. He believed it his mission to preach, and wag a zeMous exhorter. That great things were in store for him as a missionary among the faithless of the world he did not doubt.

As lime passed, he came to regard it as his duly lo make some great sacrifice, which should result in a miracle and hi the stlcntitn of mankind upon the new faith. Some, time ago he announced this belief to of bis fellowworshippers. Two weeks ago, as lie says, the loueei peeled reve lation of the necessary racrilice lainn lo him in the niht. It was then indicated to him that a member of hie family must die by his hand. He talked the matter over with his wife, and ppssiiaded ber not lo stand in "the Lord's way," as they bolh considered it.

They had two daughters, Bessie 7 years old, anil Edith 5 years old. The latter was a sunny haired child, the pet and idol of the household. The father prayed long lo know who was appointed as the victim. He says he prayed that it might be himself, but it was not so to be. After patient wailing the second revelation came, lale in the night of the murder.

The pet was pointed out an the sacrifice. The father was taken aback, hut dared not re sist the command of God. He awoke his wife and told her what was demanded. Then the mothrr's heart refused lo acquiesce iu the un natural deed. She begged hard for her dar ling's life, bnt the husband was inexorable Working upon his poor wife's fear of displeas ing God, he at last gaim.d her consent.

The scene that followed is horrible beyond precedent. Afler Freeman bad knell and nraved that he might be spared the list of his faith, le nerved himself for murder. Hn felt that he was another Abraham, and that God would either slay his hand or else raise his daughter from the dead, as a reward fur his ohrdience. Then he and his wife went into the bedroom, wb iit Iheir two children lay sleeping, side by side. The mother carried the dent toh ir own room.

Freemau then turned down the bd clothes from the form of lite little Kdilh, raised the knife which be bad provided for the I I I I a It II to It of occasion, and wailed to see if God would not interpose. After a vain watch, he bent forward over tb child, and with great cre plunged the blade into Edith's heart. There was an exclamation, and all was over. The insane father clasped his pet in his arms, and held her till he was certain life was extinct. Then he laid down and Blept by her side, satisfied that he had done the will of God.

When the news of the murder was told to his fellow believers, although staggared by such a proof of faith, they joined Freeman in holding that God would restore tho child to life. There was some protest, but so infatuated was this eniire following, comprising more than a score of respectable people in Pocasset and its vicinity, that they did not look upon the action as a crime, and believed with the perpetrator that it was done by God's command. There was aniiing' the Second Adventist band, therefore, the deepest surprise, chagrin, and confusion to day at the failure of little Edith to rise from the dead. Their fitith did not waver in the least; and as an instance of this unparalleled credulity a Journal reporter telepraphs that last night he talked with Mrs. Swift, the child's grandmother, who begged him not to mention to Mildred, the other child, anything about the' murdur, saying that there was no need of her knowing anything about the aflair, because Edith would be alive again in the morning.

Two or three of these peculiar people, however, doubled whether the resurrection would take place to day, all, nevertheless, being sure that it would come soon. These few are not disheartened, hut claim that the truth of their doctrine will yet be showu. But others mutter about "God breaking his promise," The fuueral services took place in the Methodist Church this afieruoon, the little edifice being crowded to suffocation and hurdreds standing around the outside of the building. The Pastor, the Key. Mr.

He said a great deal iu a itW words, waruiug them to giva up their false belief while their reason remained. The funeral being over, Alden P. Davis, the lead iug tpiril in the Advent company, now that iu ul, attempted Iu make a speech, but was ordered to keep quiet or submit to arrest. Whoa the body had been removed to the little grave yard, Davis mutinied a grave and made just such a speech as might have been expected, saying that lie was an infidel until two years aao, when God revealved him self to him.

lis eulogized the murderer until the crowd interrupted with cries of Choke him," Burry him in the open grave," Ac, and a scene unparalled in recent New England history ensued over the coffin and the grave. No violence, however, occurred. A. MTSTKltlOl AX. A few years since, Nathan Salisbury, living in East Scott, Cortland county, found a peculiar ax.

The circumstances are as follows Alan early day, when Mr. Salisbury, in company with others, was chopping and clearing tbe forest of his newly acquired larm, they came upon a very large hemlock standing near a stream. After cutting the tree down, Mr. Salisbury discovered that what appeared to ba the heart of the tree was really a separate tree from the one. just fallen.

On examination, this tree within a tree was found to have been girdled at some previous lime, leaving a small portion uncut so that the sap had continued to traverse the trunk until its growth had completely overgrown the girdling, and another tree formed, growing to euormous dimensions. A short time afterward, near the trunk of that tree, about twelve inches below the surface, was fouud this peculiar ax. It is ten inches in length by three and oue fourlb inches on the edge. It is made of iron. Now, wbat is remarkable about this ax and tree is Ibis that the girdling or packing of the inner tree corresponds precisely with the ax fouud, and counting the concentric rings of the growth of the outer tree is tound the remarkable fact that the inner tree was girdled about one hundred years before the landing of the Pilcrims.

It was during the progress of the war of 1750 that the incideut I am about lo relate occurred.

The Count de Brimont belonging to one of the oldest families in France, was accomplished, enthusiastic and exceedingly handsome, and his wife was all that the wife of such a man should be in fact, ber hand had been solicited by no le a than five princes, but uadazzled by the brilliant future she might have secured, siie chose to ally her fortunes to her heart'a firs', Though prisoners, tbe young people were treated with every courtesy, aud surrounded by every luxury ouly of their liberty. About a month afler they bad been taken captive, and when in fact a treaty depended upon their safe keeping until its conclusion, news reached De Brimont that bis beloved mother was ly iug at the point of death, eager to see him ouce more bofoie she departed. He presented tits slate of thing to the commander of the city, and besought him by the aflec.ion he entertained for his own mother, to send him accompanied by suitable his paren 's deailihe Iuvain, however, were her pleadings; too much depended upon retaining him at present in captivity, and the commander courteously but firmly refused his prayer. De Brimont was in despair; he felt as though willing lo give the best years of his life lo prison wails, so he could now spend an hour with his so dearly loved mother ere she went hence and was no more. Nearly heart broken, he once more renewed his entreaties, and once more received a denial, when suddenly his young wife appeared, and threw herself before the feet of the commander.

"Let hi iu go to his mother" she said "and ke. me here; fix upon a day for his return, and if he is not here at the very hour let me die." Upon these terms 1 permit you lo depart unattended," the commander said. At li'st Da Brimont absolutely refused to accept the oil. but upon the eager persua aioi.s of his wile, and the absolute certainly cf beins; able lo return long before the day fixed ha at last eil, and with mmy embiaces In de siIku to his devotfd wile. I lie w.n obliged to travel many leagues, but the horse he roilewai a good one and by ligli fail of the day he set nut, ho reached his ancestral houie.

Ho found (he countess, his i ther, very low indeed, but the sight of her idolized sjn appeared lo revive her somewhat and she lingered on until the evening of the day immediately preceding the one appointed for his return. 1); Brimont had only time to kiss her cold lipa and give hasty orders concerning the luneral, and then leaving her to be followed to the grave by every relative save the nearest and dearest, he set forth on his return, having ample time to accomplish tiie distance. He had proceeded about half way on his journey, his mind absorbed in grief on the one side at the loss of his parent, and ly on the other at once more beholding his bride, when suddenly lie was set upon by a furious wolf of extraordinary size, which darted out from a wood that skirted one side of the highway. The ferocious beast first seized the horse, and tore and mangled the poor animal so terribly that De Brimont was forced to dismount. No sooner had he touched the ground, and before he had even time for thought, the wolf leu his hrsl prey and sprung upon him, and would certainly have torn hiiu limb from limb had he not with a great presence of mind seized the animal by tbe tongue wilh one hand, and wilh I lie other laid hold of his paws.

After struggling awhile with the terrible creature, tbe tongue slipped from his hold, and his right hand was fearfully mangled by the beast bul, notwithstanding the pain he was in, he leaped upon the wolfs back, and pressing his knees ha. into the sides, called aloud tor succor. It was not for his own life he fought bul for his poor wife's. Who can realize tbe terrible thoughts that rushed through his mind during those frightful mo ments To his own fate he gave not a thought, save so far as it aflecied that of his wife he would eriah miserably on the road the world would say that he had purposely fled to some olher land, leaving a lovely and loving wife to die for his cowardice and treachery. At lengife, however, to hi? great joy his cries were answered, and some peasant soon appeared but none of them dared to advance.

"Well, then," De Brimont cried, seeing that were useless, "fire if you hit me I forgive you, only swear lo me that one of you will hasten lo 13 and tell how I died." They all, with one voice, made the required promise, aud thon one of thera fired, bul so terrified was he that he only succeeded in sending three bullets through the brave young nobleman's coal, wilhout injuring either him or the beast. Another then, bolder Ihuu his comrades, seeing the intrepidity of the cavalier, and how firm a hold he kept upon the wolf, approached somewhat nearer, and, taking deliberate and careful aim, fired. The wolf was mortally wounded by the uhot, mid aiinoot instantly expired. Never pausing to dress his wounds, which were very severe, De Brimont distributed a sum of money among the peasants, and offered la.rii amount to uiiy oue who first brought him a horse, for his own was entirely disabled. In an incredibly short space of time a horse was brought him, and, mounting it, tbe count hastened on his way.

But the story is told of course he arrived At the appointed time, and threw himself covered wilh blood r.nd dust, in bis wile's arms. The account of what he had undergone soon spread far and wide, and when, within a week Ihereafier, the treaty was concluded, he was sotted to the cily gales by the population of the entire city, and departed wilh his lovely bride amid a torrent of cheers and blessings, to say nothing ol presents to rich and weighty that it required several mules, well packed, to carry them away.
