American sailors Arrested the High Seas
for Murder.

American sailors ARRESTED 1Sed on the High Seas
In December, 1867, the barque Java, commanded
by Captain Charles Kempton, left Massachusetts, on
d whaling voyage to the South Polar Sea. At the
Cape We're Islands the captain added nine Portu-
guese sailors to his crew, and sailed for the Indian
Ocean. The men now under arrest say that in
visiting another Ship one OF the Portuguese was ac-
cidentally drowned, which dispeased the captain
greatly that he placed another OF the crew, whom
he chose to hold responsible for the death OF the
lost sailor, in irons for forty-eigh hours This
duct and the captains alleged refusal to furnish
good provisions and the abusive conduct of the third
mate, provoked the rest OF the crew much that
they resolved to be revenged. number of them
armed themselves with bludgeons and fireWood
blocks, caught the third mate as he came from his
quarters, and beat him so numerically on his head
that he expired in few hours. Bates, the first
mate, attempted TO protect his brother officer, but
severely injured that his recovery is doubtful
The chief actors in this dreadful tragedy James w.
Robinson, James Canning, Benjamin Harrison, VIII

FINANCE AND CoGMERCH
oTFIoE OF THE EVENING TELEanAPH,)

There is only moderate activity in the local
Money market, and the supply OF funds is far in
excess of the business wants of the community.
Some attempts have been made by New York
operators to get up the appearances of a strin-
gency to bear down the prices of stocks; it was
only partially successful in advancing the price
of loans on call to per cent. gold interest,
but even this rate, if it could be relied
on for few days, would be an incentive to our
bankers and private lenders to ship their funds
to New York for investment, for the sake of the
higher rate obtained. To-day call loans are very
easy at sac per cent. on Government bonds and
at 6(07 per cent. on miscellaneous securities.
Discounts rather quiet and, with an active
inquiry for prime paper, makers are able to re-
gulate their own terms. The range is from 6GS
per cent. for wellendorsed bills, but for inferior
the figures have a higher and much wider range.
Government securities are weak and exhibit
downward tendency in prices. The gold market
continues firm, and is on the advance. The
market opened at 1856, and at 1l94 A. M. was
quoted at 1861, with strong upward tendency.
The speculative feeling among stock opera
tors is still very lively, and there appears to be
little chance for any abatement. In State loans
no sales were reported. City skies were in good
request and sold at 90 for the old and 101 a for
the new. The Lehigh gold loan changed hands
at 946D9413.
Reading Railroad was active and stronger,
selling at 47'810471s, an advance of 36; Penn
sylvania Railroad sold at 55; Philadelphia and
Erie Railroad improved 3s closing at 1890
29T; Minehil Railroad was taken at 5416: Nor
ristOwn Railroad at 67; Little Schuylkill Rail

Canal shares were neglected.
Coal shares were quiet. ~ was bid for New
York and Middle; 81 for Shamokin; 81 for

Nothing was done in Bank shares.

25O.OOO,

On Ledger place, a small thoroughfare running of
Second street, below Third, Is situated large nve-
story building owned by Harvey Ford, turner's in
ivory, bone, and hard wood and occupied for vari-
GUS purposes by several firms. About O'Clock this
morning smoke was discovered issuing from the
treme northeastern window Of the fifth story The
alarm was quickly given, to which the firemen
quickly responded, and to their timely arrival is
owing the fact that the entire structure not de-
sroyed, together with much valuable property which
surrounds 1t.
While several streams were kept directed on the
flames, the remaining companies which were present
turned their attention to the adjoining buildings, all
OF which were saved. The fire burned stubbOrnly
for long time, but 1t kept confined to the fifth
story, all Of which suffered considerable damage
This apartment was occupied by William Mann as
printing establishment In it were two Hoe cylinder
and five Gordon presses and one OF the finest stocks
of type; also very large stock OF paper, most OF
which was in the process of printing The machinery
valued at 500, 900 and the stock at $1,000 One
OF the rooms was used as a bindery, which COM
