AN INHUMAN CAPTAIN.
A Crew Makes Complaint of Hard Treat

A Crew Makes Complaint of Hard Treat
ment, and the Master Is Arrested.
The schooner F. L. Richardson, Captain
Blanco, from Belfast, Maine, arrived here
about a week ago from a southern port, and
is now lying at the jackson g. sharp Com
pany's wharf The schooner is engaged in
the coasting trade and is bound for Phila-
delphia for load of coal whittier she will
proceed after certain repairs are received.
Her crew made loud complaints as soon
as they landed Of cruel treatment at the
hands of the captain. They alleged that
they shipped from Belfast, and on arriving
at Savannah, Georgia, they were imprisoned,
the captain fearing, as he said, that they
would desert. When taken on board their
clothing was left behind, aud they suffered
greatly during the voyage. They also claim
that the captain did not provide sufficient
and proper food, as prescribed by the regu-
ations governing sailing vessels.
They went to the United States Court
here with their complaint, and were referred
to District Attorney Patterson. Subse
quently on their complaint an attachment
was issued out of the United States District
Court of Philadelphia and Captain Blanco,
was apprehended in that city yesterday
Judge Butler will hear the complaint on
Tuesday next.

Correction Made.
Below is an account of the suicide of Miss
Speakman, lady well know in Whining.
ton, near Kennett Square, which occurred
snort time ago. 1t has been learned that
published reflections on the young lady's
character were wholly unwarranted. The
account is taken from the Kennett Ners of
Delaware County:
Our citizens were shocked by a report
on Saturday evening that Miss Laura Z.
SpeaEman, sister Of Mrs. Alfred Jackson Of
our boro' had drowned herself In the creek
Just west OF the town. Miss Speakman had
been suffering from diseased mind for the
past three or four months, at her fathers
house In Londongrove township, and It was
thought a-change of air and scenes might be
beneficial. Mr.. Jackson went with her to
Philadelphia visiting relatives and friends
for about week, but the result was no I'M
proVement In her mental condition. He
then brought her to his residence in Ken
nett, and she remained with him until
the sad result of Saturday evening.
At about o'clock. Mrs. jackson
was attending to some household duties up
stairs, Laura left the house and by a back
street proceeded to the creek and as near
as can be ascertained must have jumped in
the creek north OF the bridge the water at
this place is about six feet in depth. She
was found about two hours after she had
left the house, below the bridge, her body
having floated down into shallow water.
Her remains were brought to the residence
OF undertaken Worral, when an inquest was
held by deputy Coroner George c. Marshall,
with the following jurors: John c. Walton,
Frank Heald, F. s. Martin, James Speak
man, j. G. Robinson, and w. H. Poole,
who after hearing the evidence relating to
the case rendered a verdict of suicide by
drowning. Her remains were taken to the
residence Of her father on Sunday morn
ing and tue funeral takes place at the house
on Wednesday at 10 o'clock. 1t is said
Miss was highly esteemed by her many as
soclates and was to have been married on
Christmas day. Her sad fate cast gloom
over the community In which she resided"

"In the Trade"

He called the salesman aside and asked
for the proprietor. His general appear
ance was hardly one calculated to in
crease one faith In the business boom,
and the salesman told him that the pro-
priesor had gone East.
"Well, perhaps you'll do justas well, "
was the reply. "I've been III the fur
niture trade myself, and would like to
talk confdentially about prices, with .
view to purchase"
The salesman ached to bet him dol
lar that he had never handled anything
more extravagant than washboard,
but he remembered stories he had read
about millionaires in disguise and kept
still.
"I'm solid as an Eastlake bedstead, {"
the customer continued, IAN want bot

all the time necessary to make out the
bill.

And the gentleman who belonged to

passed out. In about I've minutes the
salesman went out to mail letter and
found him in q rival establishment, try
