A SECOND MATES BRUTALITY.

Jesse c. Mallias, second mate Of the American
ship. David Crockett, which arrived from san
Francisco on Thursday last was arrested yesterday
on charge o. cruel and unusual treatment OF the
crew and was committed TO the Ludlow street jan
by United States Commissioner Shields IN detanlt
of So 900 bail, for examination on Tuesday. i he
compliments against Mallias are Adolph ScnnIg.
Robert Fl Zgerald and Andrew StoTCk These men
were shipped at San Francisco by boarding house
runner named Henry Brown. Sennig and FItzger-
aid were sailors, but Stork was not one and Brown
knew the fact when he shipped him. Brown, now
ever, wanted the advance money ana therefore I'M
posed on the captain. The ship sailed on August -,
1881, with a crew Of sixteen men, the captain,
two mates, three boys cook and carpenter. Inc
voyage was hardly begun when the second mate
began to show hls cruelty. 1t was SO frequently
manifested that the carpenter, man named Ietcr-
son. kept a log" of the individual cases. and the
men relied on this document to prove their case on
their arrival in this port. But when the voyage
was nearing its end the mate won The carpenter
over 10 him and induced him TO throw the record
overheard. This fact is stated by the seamen in ex
panaton of their inability TO give dates OF parilcu-
Lar cases of cruelty.
On one occasion i is alleged StOrck was walking
along the deck when Mailias found fault with him
for n { moving more rapidly Without waiting for
a reply Manas stabbed him IN tho back with r'p-
ing needle. an instrument used IN sewing rope 10
sails, and q formidable weapon in the hands OF any
man. Maas anOI ler occasion found fault with
Fitzgerald fortallIug and at the saiIe time knocked
hun down with his fist, and when he was prostfate
kicked him in the side and face,
discoloring both his eyes and cutting his
face in several places. When Fitzgerald regaincd
his feet he was ordered ont on tic 6owsprlt To do
some tarring. As he passed Maas he said that lie
Nlallias would pay for his conduct when he reached
this port. This increased Malliass rage and he ran
after Fitzgerald. He overlook him on the bow

the same time told him that he would never reach

day he was aOft assls.in TO set sail and was out

SERVING OUT ANOTHER MANS TERM.

An extraordinary case was developed III the 1Ince
of Chief Clerk Sparks of the Court OF EfchGTa Ses
sious Yesterday. In September, 1851 sherman
Reed was sentenced by Judge Cowing to the Pehl-
tcntiary for three months for selling lottery pohcy

conviction was afterwaTd confirmed, ana the
DiStrct-A Attorney informed the bondsman that thc
accused man must be surrendered. The surrender
was made on Friday morning. Oihcer isaac
Smith of the COurt of Gcncral Sessions brought
man into Chief Clerk Sparkss Office and said tlat IL
was Reed and after the usual routine the man was
ordered back to the custody of the sheriff by Judge
Gil illerseevc and he was taken TO the Pcmtentlary;
Chief Clerk Sparks yesterday morning received

TO Deputy Warden Osborn that he was not Sherman

STEAMERS TO TRIESTE.

The announcement that the ustro-HunCaTian
3loy( would start q steamship line between Trieste
and New-Y0rll by sending the first steamship from
Trieste for this port January % Is looked upon
with much favor by merchants OF tins city. Aus
TRAN Consul Hugo Fritsch said yesterday that he
had received nothing official from bis Government
In regard to the line but had noticed that the project
was discussed i'll the Austrian papers, and believed
that the line would be successful. he project"
he added "is not a new one by any means. My
predecessor ChevalieF De Loosely, advocated it tif-
teen wears ago and have been more or less active
in urging direct steamship communication between
This port aud Austria for the last ten years am
clad 20 see that the line is to be started on sub
stautial basis The Austrian Lloyd has about sixty
five first class steamships sailing to pors IN dller-
ent parts of the world. aud after 1t started direct
the sharp competition of the Peninsular
IN building up a large trade. The Austrian traffic
with the United States has been diverted heretofore
by way of Hamburg and Bremen, and while it has
been large, believe II can be increased by direct
steamship communication. With first class steam
ships the passenger traffic will also be built mp,
and the line will have greater attraction because
il will be a novel one. We have seen how direct
communication between New-York and the Med
iterranean ports has built up the passenger traffic
from and to Italian and Spanish ports, especially
of inValids in the winter time. This is ca able OF
being fuTthe increased, passengers will prefer To
take the southeTly route, and avoid the tempestu-
Gus nOrherlv latitudes. AS to the Brazil line from
Trieste have no informa ion, but shall probably
receive some within few days"
