The Lively Experience Of . Ships
 Crew Coming From China.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The ship Anna has just arrived from Hong Kong. Captain Schelat, who was seen by reporter, says: ''We had very lively time of it, and now, to crown all, have been nearly frozen in this harbor. We left Hong Kong on July 4 and on July 25 one of the typhoons peculiar to that locality broke on us. No words can depict this tornado. The wind blew eighty to one hundred miles an hour and the sea was mountain high. The men at the helm were 1ashed there to prevent being washed away and for hours we ran under bare poles. Miraculous to say no one was hurt and nothing was damaged. These typhoons leave of just as suddenly as they come. On November 15 we sighted 8 burning ship. She was loaded with petroleum. The oil had run out of the barrels and for two miles round the sea was one flaming mass. We sailed as near as we dared and then lowered a boat which was pulled through this burn ing sea to the vessel. No one was seemingly aboard and there was nothing to show who she was or where she was from We kept a good lookout for sailors adrift, but failed to see any,"

Murdered by uia Cousin.

An Oiean QPa.) telegram says: Officers
from Clarion county, Pa, are searching the
northern oil-fields for Frederick Gslbraith,
who is believed to have caused the death
OF his cousin hearing the same name. The
latter was found lying by the roadside at
Brady's Cave one morning two weeks ago
unconscious. His skull was fractured,
and when he was brought 20 he said a
horse had run away and thrown him out Of
the wagon. The young man died next
day, aud was buried without any further
investigation being made. II was not
until several days later that Il te-
came known that the deceased man
and his cousin had qllarrelled over
young woman for whose favor they
were rivals. The circumstances were such
that the friends Of the dead man had the
body eXhumed aud an inquest held upon
il. The examination revealed that besides
the fractured skull there were three ribs
broken and several serious injuries in the
abdomen. IL came out 10 evidence that
two days before the one cousin was found
i'm the road the other had threatened TO
"c.ush IN his head II he ever saw him with
the girl" and that the night he was injured
he had walked home with the girl. and MS
cousin had been seen following them. A
verdict was found charging Frederick Gal-
braith with causing the death OF his cousin,
and warrant was issued for his arrest
When il came TO be served Galbraith could
not be found. and no trace OF his where
abouts has a. yet been discovered.

A Leaf from Real Life.

The surviving members Of the old Wes-

who. twenty years ago. came with the
family OF the Rev. DR.. Hester. ~ maid OF

and who, In addition to her domestic duties,
was efficient as A worker In church sociaIs,
pic. mics, and other things sppertaing 10 the

at the close OF his pastorsie. Miss Clark ro-
msined in the city, a member OF wealthy,

treatment and nursing, TO get well or die,

when sufficiently recovered she found
temporary home with q less pretentious
family until induced 10 20 10 Chicago by
some promises; but she found herself
again in hospital, and without money.
On recovering she drifted into Michigan,
where she shortly afterward became the
wife OF well-tO-do farmer who had
three children. nearly grown. She took
charge of his household and cared Tor his
children until they were grown aud mar
ricd. About this time the husband died,
leaving her in very comfortable circum-
stances as to worldly goods. After three
years OF widowhood she again married,
and again to man OF considerable pro-
perty, and with I've children. She entered
zealously upon the duties OF step-mother.

VICTORY AND DEFEAT.
Two Games Yesterday-The yirGinias Win
the First-ScOre 7 TO 2.


the First-Score I TO ..
To the surprise Of the management and
many others. who predicted that the morn
ing game Of baseball fixed for Yesterday
would not draw well, crowd OF fully
1000 spectators were present at Virginia
Park 10 witness the second meeting be-
tween the Ironsides and the home team.
The close and protracted contest OF Thurs.
day evening was doubtless the. principal
cause OF such a large attendance, M many
went IN anticipation OF witnessing a good
game, and they were not disappointed.
"Play" was called at II O'Clock, with the
visitors at the bat. Foreman and Derby
were the battery for the Ironsides. and
sullivan and Hnrdie for the virgi-
Mas. TOtally unlike the first, which
was mainly pitchers game, and de-
void OF unusual interest so far as fielding
was concerned, yesterday mornings con-
test abounded in brilliant work at the bat
and in the field, and particularly so with
the home team. The visitors ficlded well,
but their hits were so scattering that no
thing resulted from them, the two runs
scored being mainly on theN Nirginias' errors.
On the part Of the Nirginiss brilliant plays
were numerous, noticeably Larkin's stop
in the fifth inning Of hot ball from Brad
ley's bat, and his tricky and successful
playing when twice caught between bases
one time gaining his point and saving his
tase, and another, when making for
homs-run. succeeding In getting clear OF
his opponents, only losing what he had
struggled 80 we'll for by breaking down
when within few feet Of the home-plate.

his fine playing. Powell's great hit and
bound over the lower fence WAS another
feat that set the spectators wild. resulting
in two OF three earned-runs made during
tie game.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
QUITE A GENERAL HOLIDAY.

Large Numbers OF EKcursisni.ts IL aud On,
or the Chy-Parsde OF the CsIored Baua.
lioH-inoidents, &C.
For Fourth OF July the weather yester-
day was moderate. The summer sun did
is duty IN amoretemperatc way than usual,
and IN the afternoon there was a nice breeze
coming from The river. On Libby Hill, at
GRmble's-Iiill Park, In Monroe Park, and
IN the Capitol square, where large numbers
OF peopl; were assembled, the heat was 10y
no means severe. whatever It might have
been indoors. The suspension Of busines,
here WINS quite general. and hundreds OF
people went forth on the excursion trains
or joined the picnic parties arranged for
places near the city.
The Few workmen fourd at their daily
lacks looked like people working on Sum
day. Main street after II O'Clock wa. de
serted except by the ercursionsts, who
c-me in from Dsnvile and from the coun-
try along all the lines Of read In consid.ra-
bic numbers, and who walked the town
over, seeing the sights. But for the flags
floating from the public buildings and the
occasional burst Of firecracker there was
no external evidence Of Fourth-oi-Juy
until the afternoon, when the colored bat
tolion came ont, making quite a good
parade. The colored troops don't mind
marching on q Fourth. The weather HI.
no III effect. upon them. With heavy uni
forms, buttoncd to the chin. and carry
ing all the sccoutrements OF soldier,
they trampcd and tramped 10 an er-
tent that would have been death
to any Caucasians not veterans. Morning
and afternoon the baseball grounds were
ratroniged as they never were before.
Throughout the land the day was largely
devoted TO this psstime, and the people
honored the memory OF the Fathers OF the
Republic by applauding good hits and
catches. However, 1t is just a. sensible
way as soldering in the hot sun and
drinking mint-iuleps in the shade-tEe old
way. Tie day passed without any serious
accidents, and the sunstrokes" were not
many. Altogether this community enjoyed
the holiday in reasonably proper m,nner.
and there will be comparatively few head
aches this morning.
The police stations last night reported
that there bad been no difficulties during
the day, and there were no arrests except
for the most trifing offences.

The Ownership Of Duluth.
Ist. Paul Mimi Pioneer Prcss.l


The cases OF Frederick Prentice, which
involve a large amour OF property in Du-
luth. were on trial in the United States Cir
cult Court on June 18th before Justice MIL
Ter and Judge Nelson. The cases involve
almost the entire business portion Of Du-
luth, the value OF property running into
the millions. but just how many millions
none Of the psrties connected with the af-
fair are prepared 10 state. In 1854, by atreaty
with the La Ponte band OF the Chip
pewa.. their chict. Buffalo. was authorized
TO select for himself section OF land,
which, by special provision, was TO be pa
tented 10 sny one whom he might desig-
nate. The section which he chose includes
all the property now in dispute. The
patent, Al Bufalo's request. was made out
in favor Of Benjamin G.. Armstrong, his
son by adoption, who had married q niece
of Buffalo. The defendants claim that it
was before Armstrong cot his title that he
made quit-claim deed 10 Frederick Prem
tice, the plaintiff in the suits, and it
il under this deed that Prentice
puts in his claim. Armstrong, subsequent
to the time OF getting the patent, con-
veyed the lands to other parties, under
which conveyance the present occupants
hold. The defendants set up-frs., that
the deed from Armstrong to Prentice doos
not include any OF the land now Ia contro-
versy. They also claim that at the time
when Armstrong made the deed to Prem
tice he had no title 10 the land which he
decided. They claim further q number OF
points, among which is that the deed was
not duly recorded, 50 ~ to give the pro-
per notice 10 the world Of its existence;
that the deed TO Prentice Wa made bo-
fore any patents Of the lands were issued 10
anybody. 0hat is, in 1860 and that patents
were not issued for these lands until 1883;
that the deeds under which plaintiff claims
were made ont in 1859 and 1864 that Prem
tice never paid any attention to the lands
which he now claims and paid no taxes
upon them. Ii was not known that he even
claimed anything until 1872. and he made
no movement to recover until the COM
mencement OF these suits last fall. There
are four test cases now being tried, aud II
decided for the plaintiff these will be fol-
lowed by a multitude Of others against pro-
perty-owners i'm Duluth.
