HoRRIBLE CRUELTY AT SEA.
A Seaman Chained in q Hole on the Voy-
age from south Africa.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Henry Arthur
Slater, the sailor who was arrested yester-
DAY and placed In Ludlow Street JAN on the
arrival of the American Ship Northern
Light, Captain Josh Slocum, from South
Africa, charged with mutiny, tells horrible
story of cruelty. He says that he shipped
as second mate, and when the ship was
about IL days out from Port Elizabeth,
South Africa, he was givine orders to the
crew about getting up the mizzen rigging,
when the Captain came ON deck sAj found
fault with the orders. A wordy war ensued
when Slater alleges that the Captain struck
| him over the head with some sharg instru
| ment, cutting great cash in his temple and
| scalp.
| That evening the captain reduced him
to the grade OF ordinary seamen, and order
ed him to go forward. He was there about
| four days, when the captain sent for him
and told him to go to work. He replied
that he was too sick. The captain then
| fred two shots at him, several of the crew
seized him, shackled him and threw hin
| into boarded up hole about six or eight
| feet square, where he was kept until the
arrival of the vessel.
When dragged out of the hole, the odol
| of which was sickening, he had no other
clothing than an undershirt, and that wa
covered with vermin. The poor fellow wa
half carried on deck, where he trembled hk'
a leaf. His eyes protruded from their sock
cts, his face grew purple, and it was SOM
time before he recovered sufficiently to b.
taken ashore. The sailors on tho vessel con

Especial TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Nov 24.-The National
Grange has been IN session In Washington
the past week.. After the members had Or
ganized motion to exclude reporters was
made and carried and several press repre-
sentatives gathered up their notes and de
parted. The papers have been ridiculing
this mysterious action on the part of the
agriculturaliets, but thinking there might
be something in 1t your correspondent
hunted up a delegate and secured the fol-
lowing information:
It has been determined 10 maintain q
lobby at Washington this winter to influence
Congress in a way favorable to agricultural
legislation. At late convention for con.
sidering contagious diseases among cattle,
it was determined to take active measures to
renew all restrictions from cattle exporta
portations and 1t was concluded that the
only way TO attain that end is for the Gov
ernment TO give a clean bill of health upon
all cattle for export. The lobby represent
ing the farmers, proposes to demand the
votes of members to bill favoring this pro
| ject, aud they will be made to understand
that If they want the farmers vote, thel
must favor their interests in Congress. TheI
are tired of broken promises.
The lobby is gathering in force. The pres
ent occasion is very useful to them for the.
have more opportunities to see and talk witt
members than later, when the necessities
the session interfere. The chief industry II
this direction just now, however, is in work
| ing the candidates for Office for what the
can make out of them. Thought is usual
considered that the lobbyist has little capita
but his impudence, there is reason to believ
that they are active emissaries between paI
ties who are willing to sell votes for cor
sideration, and are quite an important fac
tor in the arrangements that are being mad
for the support of the various candidates.

Experience is proving every day, that what
ever may be the license laws they will be
evaded and violated and set at defiance,
just SO far as practicable, by the undivided
strength of the liquor trade. We see this,
whether wewill or not,every day we live and
the record of it Is In every newspaper. The
constant cry of the saloon interest is that it
is perfectly willing to obey laws that are
regulative and practical; but we notice that
1t never fails, to resist and disparage every
measure, however leuient, which interferes
with its profits or opportunities. 1t is in
vain to attempt conciliation with the liquor
traffic. Its hand is against all the best in
terests Of the community, and all good
citizens should be equally united and Teso-
Lutte to destroy its power. W.

for 25 years we'll. known Brooklyn politi-
clan, is lying dead in bis front parlor, with
his heart literally cut in two. Business
troubles had caused him to feel despondent
for some time, and he frequently threatea ed
suicide. Last night he proposed to his wife
that they should drink together glass of
wine in farewell, as they were to die
together.
Mrs. Roessner laughingly said she would
drink the wine, but did not want to die.
Shortly after drinking, both became sick
with symptoms of laudanum poisoning, but
recovered at bedtime and retired. Roessner
was very nervous in bed, and getting up,
went into an adjoining room, where his fav-
orite child, Julia, was sleeping. He awoke
har, kissed her again and again, and said:
"Good night, am going to die"
The child screamed out, but before any
one could anticipate his intentions, Roessner
snatched from shelf over the child's bed d
table knife, and plunged it in his heart,c ut
ting the organ in two. He fell dead at his
child's bedside. He leaves a widow and
