New BEDFORD, MASS, October IL
The whaling bark Seine was wrecked
June 2Sth on the west coast OF Africa,
ten miles south of Cape Frio. 1t Is a
desert region, the Nou Sc RIVER eighty
miles north, affording the nearest fresh
water. The crew got ashore safely with
four casks of bread and teapot, from
which, through pipe formed OF boat
pump aud log horn, they conducted
steam into casks, where 1t was condensed
into good water. The surf ran so high
that the men were more than q
month in getting three boats to
an anchorage outside. One was
capsized, and two Portuguese seamen
were drowned. Edmund c. Dobson, Of
New York city, steward, not being able
to swim, did not dare go in the
boat, and despite all efforts to dis
suade him, started alone to walk
to the settlement. He has not since
been heard of. The three boats pro.
ceeded to Little Fish Bay, $40 miles
north, the nearest settlement. The other
two boats were totally disabled, aud
the Captain and nine men walked $50
miles north to Portuguese fishing
station, crossing the Nourse River on
q raft. They repIeuished tn ir store
OF fresh water, but were reduced to
two tablespoons full day before they
reached the settlement.

Mud-Slipglng, Blackguardism and

CLEVELAND, o., October ll.--Uuited
States Senator II. b. Payne created a
sensation 10 his speech last evening at
meeting in Newburgh, composed
largely Of rolling-,nil men, by calling
Editor Cowles of the Ledder an "imp OF
hell" and ga liar" The cause OF the
Senator's anger was Cowles' attempt 10
prove, through several bitter editorial
articles in the Leader, that Payne had
been responsible for the recent
REDUCTION OF WAGES
In the Cleveland rolling mills and that
Payne had taken from the rolling mill
hands wages for the two days that they
spent in attending the funeral OF the late
President OF the mills, Henry Chisholm.
Payne said that Cowles having been
shown that this was false promised to
retract, but hnaliy refused to do 1t. Said
Payne: "Cowtes once desired me to see
that the Pldindeater, the Democratic or
gan, should throw no campaign mud. /
promised to do 1t, upon condition that
Cowles would throw all the mud at me
he could, for knew his opposition would
help me as 1t has helped the Democrats
to-day"

letters, Fisher, in an interview, says that
at the request Of Elisha Atkins, and at
the special request of Blaine, he went to
New York in the spriug Of 1880, and met
Blaine at the Fifth Avenue Hotel; that
then and there Blaine made his request,
to obtain, for money or otherwise, from
Jim Mulligsn, all letters and memoranda
in which Blaine had any interest. "The
amount was not limited. was to
PAY $4,000
II | could not obtain them for less.
Blaine stated that John Cummings, the
partner OF Elisha Atkins & Co., could
furnish all the money and he authorized
me to confer with Cummings about the
money to be paid If the letters could be
purchased"
"Did Mr.. Elisha Atkins know OF this?"
Certainly. He knew OF my progress
from time TO time about the purchase of
the letters, and stated that his partner
had all the funds required, II the pur
chase was made, as his partner (Cum.
mings) had recently, sold all of Blaine's
Little Rock & Fort Smith Railroad stock
at about $50 per share, which Atkins
thought at the time was foolish sale, as
the stock aiterward advanced, reaching
