A SHOCKING OUTRA0E-Au outrage
which seems to have few parallels for its
inhunanity has occurred on one of the
Hamburger steamers. Herman Donars,
for several years resident of New York,
went to the office of the New York and
Ilambursh Eagle Steamship Company,
and obtained q free passage TO Hamburg
on condition that he would work as fire.
man during the trip. No sooner was he
on board the steamship Leasing than the
paid fireman began to maltreat him in the
most shocking manner.
1t is alleged that Donsrs was knocked
down with coal shovel. When sense.
less from blows be was thrown on the
steam chest near the boiler. where they
let him lie nearly fifteen minutes, al.
though it was 10 hot that, according to
tho testimony of the witnesses, no one
could lay his hands on it. Donars was
thus, in ell probability, roasted alive. The
barbarians who had so inhumanly tor.
tured him next tied rope round his body
aad hoisted him up, his head striking re-
peatedly against the iron edges of the
hatches. DoLars was then let down again
into the engine room and carried to the
hospital.
