A VOYAGE of remarkable fatality was
that of the bark Antioch, which arrived
at New York from Cebu, PhilIi pine
islands, on Saturday. On the 9TH of
September, fifteen days after the vessel
left Cebu, Chas. q. Clark, aged 90, son
of the builder of the Antioch, died. He
had shipped nominally as carpenter in
the hope Of regsining his health. An
drew Bergison, who had been suffering
for some time with sore, which finally
mortified, died October 21st. Joseph
Green, the steward, an ignorant and
superstitious man, said after Bergison's
funeral that he would be the next. He
became very nervous, ate nothing, but
smoked almost necessarily, and drank
a great deal of tea and coffee. EARLY
on the morning ofthe Oath he died sud-
denly. Henry Griffin and Paul Dorm,
both seamen, soon followed, the former
dying on the 28th of November of dy-
sentary, and the latter on the Goth of
December, of dropsy or heart disease.
Funeral services were conducted before
lowering the bodies into the sea. Cap
tain Hemingway says that the vessel
is new, this being her first voyage; that
the men had plenty of good food and
water. and fresh provisions frequently.
The crew speak highly Of the captain,
and no cause for the renarka ole fatality
appears.

he unconsciously added the author, Sir
Thomas Browne.
Was it a little thing to break an ell
gagement? They have been broken for
less than that. Many have taken back
pledges which were too hastily given,
over no more than the voice of singer,
the shade of dress, or the beauty of a
paltry bit of china.

girl she used to give her shoes and
stockings and aprons and handker-
chiefs and other things to the poor
girls, and was often obliged by her
parents to 60 and get her gifts back
again-but the punishment did not
break her of the habit. She worked

son, wealthy gentleman Of leisure
who was passlonately fond Of art, and
took a deep interest in artists. Here
she carried on her benevolent work in
all kinds of modest ways. She got
places for poor girls, till her mansion
became sort of private intelligence
office. She bought cloth by the whole
sale, cutting il into garments tor poor
seamstrcsses to make up, and then
gave them away to women who could
not have made them. She was doing
all the time, and got the name OF be-
ing one of the hardest working women
in the city by her tireless benevolence
When the death Of her husband left
her with large annual income she
set at work with a new zest TO put
her money where it would do abe most
good. The free medical college for

Hayes electors. Yesterday appeared
Green Moore and Floyd Dukes and un
derwent a cross examination by tn,
Board. Their testimony in every par
ticular corroborated and was corrobo
rated by the testimony Of the thre,
unimpcached witnesses :. Fleming
Tucker and Blitch-of the day before
1t was proved that their names arc
marks subscribed to the Hayes afiida
Wits were iorgeries. 1t was PROVED
that they counted the 300 and odC
votes actually cast, and that no mor'
were cast, 1t was proved that they
had strung tho ballots, locked the box
and proclaimed the true result /
was proved that they mad aiterward
been approached and offered bribes by
Republican officials to help falsify th'
true returns.
Now for correct apprehension o
the Alachua frauds thus exposed, ant
of others which remain TO be exposed
IL is always to be remembered that tn,
whole election machinery Of the State
in every precinct, is in the absolute
control Of the Republican party, anc
directed by the creatures aud appoint
ees Of Governor Stearns, who was him
self a candidate for reelection. Fraud,
in spite Of and against the partisan
scannings Of Republican election off
GERS are therefore not TO be presumed
but frauds with their connivance are
easy indeed. How large must be the
Democratic majority which such frauds
did not suffice to overcome. 1t is "a
be remembered also that the election
laws Of Florida are designed and en-.
acted TO assist the successful perpetra.
ton Of fraud, not TO render it difficult
The Alachua frauds were tho contri'
vance OF Governor Stearn's immediate
deputy and friend in that county, q
scoundret named Dennis, who, when
the names OF Moore and Dukes were
called yesterday, shot out of the board
room and took TO his legs like thief
in the hope, | suppose, OF finding some
United States Marshal to intercept
these humble witnesses by an arrest,
but be was too late. Their testimony
which no honest man could discredit
who heard it given and saw the many
incidenta! uncontrived marks of truth
which it bore, fixed the character Of
Alachua iraudss The testimony also
exposed the desperate necessity and
consent OF the men here who take or
ders from Zach Chandler TO back up
those frauds with bribery and forgery,
