THE Fare Devivery—aA large number of applications are pouring into the Post Office department from different small cities asking for the establishment of the free delivery sys- tem, and, in all cases, where the last census shows the population of a town to be 20,000 or more the requests are favorably considered, It may be safely said that almost every city in the United States except Georgetown, D. C., desires the advantages of the free delivery sys- tem. As heretofore stated in Tux STAR, towns having less than 20,000 inhabitants joining large cities may have the free delivery by cou- senting to the substitution of a tal station for a post office, and placing their mail under the jurisdiction of a larger office in the iminedi- ate vicinity, Sociery Cuat.—Among the Washingtonians in Newport are Miss Beckwith, Miss Jennie Lowry, Dr. Harry Lindsay, Thomas L.

C., May 14, 1878. Lawrence: Prayine with Gi Shaka 1 tion that has been published of the movements of the party and their perils and adventures: In Camp, Mup Creex, June 28, 73. We bave only made about or sixty miles of line, and are delayed here by some broken wagons. Custer’s cavalry joined us last night. They present a fine aepeecenee on the march, and the 700 look like 10,000. ‘We had a terrific hail storm three days since, that came near many lives and pu’ 7 to the whole expedition. We were re- turning from work in the evening when a thun- der storm came up and and myself, who were together, joined the cavalry escort.’ The storm became more violent still, and It grew as dark almost asnight. The hail began to fallin larger and larger stones, and to sting consider- ably. The horses got very restive under their pelting, and some of them unmanageable. uddenly three vivid flashesof lightning struck the earth near us, and the most territic hail storm I ever witnessed fell be ort us. One of the soldiers, who had probably witnessed something of the kind before, cried out, “A hailstorm on the prairies! Go for the timber like hell!” And in an instant the whole troop were going down hill in a fullrun. The hal! now had attained the size of large marbles, and every one that struck raised a lump on the flesh. Many of us were thrown, and some suc- ceeded in Mopping their horses, dismounted and triea to them. I had succeeded in gettin ‘off my horse and was struggling with im, for he was frantic with pain, when two riderless s‘eeds rushed by, and with a jerk he , Wrenched the bridle from me, and disap; dense mist. The rible, and I rushed for shelter towards a little patch of brush, and crawled into it to find two cavalry soldiers already there. eid friting my haf tight upon my head I protected {t from all but the siding stones, and shielded m: body by rey gonrgens on my arm and hold- ing that up high. t some severe welts on the elbow though, that left black and blue marks. You ma; Taige ‘of the force of the falling stones when I tell you that hats of felt were torn literally to rags, and some stones even penetrated the brims of thick straw hats. A silver cup, (thick,) which was omy to the siorm, was indented as if by falling on the jor. I think that the heavy hail must have lasted ten minutes. E. was exposed to it bare-headed, as he had iost his hat and held on to his horse during most of the storm, but had finally to let him go. 's head was completely covered with bruises as big as the end of one’s finger, and his back and shoulders looked as if some one had been beating him witha small hammer. Our train wason the march when the storm came on, and you may imagine the result. The frantic animals rushed in‘o the deep ravines, smashing our wagons almost to tooth-picks, and breaking from their harness, scattered themselves over the face of the country. We managed to collect all the animals though, and have patched up enough wagons to take us on. Col. Stanley, with the main outfit, escaped the storm, and thought the Yellowstone expedition would have had to return. Ihave killed three antelopes with the explo- sive -bullet. — don’t through, but kill like a stroke of lightnin, the back with a leaden builet not loaded, and it made a fearful wound. The other two I shot rer ranging backward, expended its force on th vitals of the animals. 1 wish all my ammuni- tion were of this character. M. M A RAILROAD WAR IN BALTIMORE.—A tele- gram to the New York Tribune, dated Bal- timore, July 10, says: ‘A sharp railroad war has been going on in this city for the past week or two, involving some questions of considera- ble interest. Between the Union railroad tan- nel and the Baitimore and Potomac tunnel there is a stretch of ground half a mile in ex- tent, which belongs to the Northern Centrat rail The Union railway claims the right of way over this half-mile of ground in order to connect its road with the Baltimore and Poto- mac railroad, thus giving an outlet to tide wa- ter at Canton.

THE LUNACY QUBSTION. It was reported im Brooklyn that Kate Stod- dard, who 1s still confined in the captain's room at the police station, had attempted to commit suicile. There is & woman inthe room with her to see that she dors not carry out her threat, but it is fe ared even this precaution will not be sufficient to save her lite if she is kept confined there much longer. She was very restless Friday evening after hearing that the police had captured ber trunk and taken jon of Goodrich’s property. Once or twice she begged to be left alone in the room, but the request was not granted. Some say that she is already insane, and does not really know what she {s talking about; «hers that she is only feigning insanity under the advice of counsel who have long since been retained to defend her. THE MOCK MARRIAGE. The original clue to the murder was a letter signed by Amy 8., and received by the lion. W. W. Goodrich, brother of the murdered man, February 20th, 1873, in which the writer (Kate Stoddard) recites the fet that sue had been living with Charles Goodrich, unknown to others, for a year, that she was married to him, but that she had found out the marriage was a mock one, and that a month before their baby was born, but that now he had tarned her ou of the house, and her heart was comple broken.

A warrant for the arrest of a man named Pritz, the ringleader of the de- serters, was issued by Commissioner Shields and placed in the hi of Marshal Stephenson for execution. While Stephenson was in Hud- son street, near Greene, in Jersey City, on his way to the office of Marshal Bailey, be was dogged by Metland, who had by soms means learned his business. At the northwest corner of Hudson and Greene streets Metland drew a knife feel pe it into the back of the officer, who turned and seized him, making an effort to draw his pistol. After a short but desperate struggle the wounded man became faint, fell, when the assasssn stabbed him again in the breast, causing almost instant death. Met- land then ran dows Hudson street, but was pur- sued and captured. During his fight he stabbed himself in the breast and drew the knife across bis thi oat, but without inflicting a fatal wound. He was taken to the county jail. A telegram trom New York last night says It is now stated that the kiilunug of Deputy U. 8. Marshal Stevenson, in Jersey City, was a de- liberately planned jer, and thut the inquest wil! develop that fact. The murderer, M was not a Kussion sailor, but a boarain, runner, who had been concealing serters.
