CANN1BAL1sm AT SEA.


 A Ghastly Case of Misery on the Ocean.
 LONDON, Sept. "A ghastly case of mis- cry at sea was brought to light yesterday by the arrival at Falmouth of the German bark ! Montezuma from Rangoon, having on board l the survivors of the wreck of the yacht Mig nonette: The yacht was of only thirty three tons burden, but she sailed from Southampton for Australia on the 18th of May On the 11th of June, when near the equator; in the Indian Ocean, she encoun- tered storm that sent her to the bottom. Four of her company escaped in a dingy from the sinking vessel They were the com mander, Captain Dudley, two seamen and a boy named Parker. All the provisions which they were able to throw into the boat before
 the vessel sank consisted of few tins of tur- nips, and they were absolutely without wa ter. They subsisted for five days on the
 canned turnips, and on the fifth day they caught a small turtle. They had been terri
 ply tortured by thurst, and on the eighth day their sufferings were so maddening that they began drinking urine, which practice they continued until they were rescued. By the twelfth day every shred ot the turtle, including it's skin, had been consumed, and there was absolutely nothing left to eat in the little boat The boy Parker) was the weakest of the four sufferers, and it was evident that he was slowly dying. The others hungrily watched his symptoms of dissolution. On the twenti- eth day, after the entire party had been without particle of food for eight days, the captain hastened young Parker's death by OnAnjnO a vein his The thFaA vivors eagerly drank of the boys blood as it gushed from his arm and they cut the flesh from his bones and ate it uncooked, but with some degree of moderation, the captain keep ing possession of the carcass and serving out to himself and the two sailors only such daily rations as were necessary to preserve their lives. They prolonged their wretched exist ence in this way until the 9th of July, when they were seen and rescued by the Montezu- ma. During the twenty-four days that had elapsed since the sinking of the yacht the dingy had drifted 490 miles

ON THEIR WAY HOME.
Philadelphia F1remen Roasted al

Philadelphia Ffremen Roasted and Toasted i'm an old Fashioned Way. NEW YORK, Sept 7.-When the Philadel- phia fremen reached the Grand Central depot yesterday they remarked that it felt more like home than in any other place they had been. The thermometer was fooling with the nineties. In spite of their heavy pearl gray overcoats and of liberal hot drinks the frigid eighty-fve degrees atmosphere of New England had worn upon the frames of the iremen Chief Marshal Mullen had actually lost his voice by catching cold in Boston. The visitors received so good a warming up on their march from the depot to the head quarters of the New York Volunteer Fire
 mems association on Eighth street, that two of them were overcome by the heat and mar rowly escaped serious injury. Two hundred of New York's old time volunteers, with the Sixty ninth regiment band at their head and
 dragging old Engine 26, escorted the visitors
 through the broiling streets. After labor
 followed refreshments. Chicken salad, fri
 caseed oysters, beer, ice cream, beer, cake,
 cigars, sandwiches, beer, music, beer, good
 fellowship and beer strengthened the weak
 and slightly weakened the more robust Old
 John Decker, the last chief of the volunteer
 New Yorkers welcomed the coming guests
 and all hands turned in to enjoy themselves.
 A march down Broadway and then good byes
 were said at the Pennsylvania depot. Only
 five members of the modern department
 turned out with the boys-Captain Hayes,
 of Engine No. 16; Captain Mcdonald, of
 Hook and Ladder No. 19; Engineer Stone, of zine Nc. 31, and Fireman Cahill, of Hook
 and Ladder No. 3.

CLOSE QUARTERS WITH PISTOLS.
A Murder Results from an Unjust Ac-
 cusatfOm.


 cusatfOn. GREENvILLE, Tenn, Sept 7.-At Caddo Mill Isaac McAdam, a farmer, was yesterday killed by Thomas Brumley Some time since Brum1ey had 8 valuable horse stolen. He castisuspicion on McAdam, who demanded an inquiry which resulted in his acquittal Saturday while Deputy Sheriff Smith was standing with Brumley at the latter's gate way McAdam came by on horseback. Brum- ley says he merely spoke to him, whereupon McAdam began firing at close range with a pistol. Brumley returned the fire, his first bullet passing through McAdam's head. Brum1ey surrendered to the deputy sheriff and they both started for town. A few hours after Brumley's arrest about dozen of Mo Adams friends rode in and demanded the surrender of Brumley. This being refused they swore out a warrant charging Smith with being accessory to the assassination McAdam's friends declared that they would return and lynch both Brumley and Smith. The jail is being guarded by posse of citi- zens, but everyone fears the avengers of Nc Adam will appear, when bloody work must follow. Brumley's statement of the killing is generally discredited.

A Warning From Our Health Tn. spectOr at London.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-The Treasury de- partment has received a letter from Dr. Hill, United States health inspector at London, relative to the importation of rags from the infected districts. He says that in his opin- ion the importation of rags into the United States from England is at present fraught with considerable risk. Smallpox is and has been for some time prevalent in London, where large quantities of English and Conti- mental rags are collected and shipped to America These rags undergo no process of disinfeetion previous to exportation, and are very likely agent to convey the infection of 8 cholera or smallpox. The certificates of shippers are not always to be relied on as evil dence of the locality whence the rags come. Large quantities of Continental rags are now being forwarded to America by way of Hull rather than via London, there being no United States health inspector at the former port. Dr. Hill concludes:
 'FThe sources whence rags are collected are so difficult to trace, and during epidemics of infectious disease rags are so likely to come from infected localities, it appears to me that unless reliable authority be produced stating that they have been properly disin- fected it would be wise precaution to pro hibit the importation of rags at least for 8 season."
 Consul General Merritt, who forwarded the above letter, says that he regards Hull, from it's close proximity to the German ports, whence rags are largely imported, as even much more likely to send infected rags to the United States than either London or Liv- erpoo1 and that he has instructed MT. Field man, vice commercial agent at that point, to watch and report from time to time as to the quantity, etc, of rags leaving there for the United States. It is probable that the Treas ury department will issue an order requiring that the evidence must be clear that the cir cumstanees surrounding the gathering and shipment of rags and the source from which they come are such as to dispel apprehension of infection by their landing.
