HURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS.
An Ensinser Held for Killing a Fireman


This morning, says Il New Orleans telc-
gram OF Tuesday, John II. Vincent. second
engineer Of the Morgan steamer Chalmette.
was brought before United States Commits
sioner Hunt on a charge OF manslaughter
on the high seas. lie was arrested on
Monday, but was granted bail iu $1,000 for
his appearance. Vincent vas charged
With the killing Of Charles Westfaul. a fire
man on the steamer.
The testimony OF John HoraD. the coal
passer OF the Chalmette, who had made the
affidavit against Vincent, was taken, as was
also that Of Charles Schuman. fireman, and
James Buckley, another coal-passer. They
all testified substantially that on Sunday,
June 22d, near O'Clock in the morning,
when The ship was Mt sea and about twelve
bours out from New York on voyage TO
New Orleans, the witnesses, with the deceas-
ed man, were all in the fire-room OF the
steamer. Vincent, the second engineer,
came down. and Westfaul said to him
that he felt sick and faint, aud
he would 20 or deck TO get a mouth
fu oi fresh air. Vincent ordered him in
violent manner not 10 go. but Westfaul
put bis foot on the ladder as II to mount,
when Vincent seized him by the collar and
jeTked him down TO the floor. Westfaul
got on his feet. and Vincent told him he
could not 20 on deck until 4 o'clock i'm the
morning, and ordered him to do some
work about the fire with a slice. bar. West
iauI complained OF being unable to work.
when the second engineer knocked him
down among the cinders and kicked him
violently about the breast and sides
and neck. BY order OF First Eu-
gineer Smith, Westiaul was conveyed
on deck, but he died IN an hour from
the time OF the beating. Westiaul was a
German about twenty-six years old, and
had a wife in New York. He was not
guilty OF disobedience or insubordinatiOu.
Vincent, the accused man. justified the ex-
ercite of discipline on bis subordinatcs,
and denied that there was any undue vIo-
lence in the discipline administered. He
said the man had been drinking ice-water,
and had injured himself by being over
heated and using the ice-water to excess.
Other witnesses also attributed the death
OF the fireman TO too much icc-water.
Commissioner Hunt, after conference
with the District Attorney, resolved to
amend the affidavit, charging murder on
the high seas instead Of manslaughter. He
then committed the accused engineer 10
prison without bail. The three witnesses
were also sent TO the Parish prison for de-
tenton, so that they may be present at the
trial

Board OF Health.

The Board OF Health met yesterday and
reelected DR.. Cabcll president, and are
now ready for work.
Most OF the cities OF the country are
adopting precautionary measures in view OF
the possibility Of the cholera crossing the
Atlantic, and we must look to the Board OF
Health 70 do what IS necessary in that re-
spect here. IL will not do for them 10 say
tnat they haven't The means to keep tue
citv az clean rs it should be. They must
make their influence so felt that the Coun-
ell will vote the money. There is no
reason 10 suppose that the Council will
refuse il. but il they do, then the Board
must appeal to the people, and the people
will arouse the Council. This Council is
new-fresh from their constltuents-and
will no doubt readily adopt the "stitch in
time" policy II the Board OF Health press
their views upon them with sufficient per-
tinacity.
The city OF Richmond Is no doubt az
clean and healthy as any city IN the coun-
try, but even here there are sections that
could be bettered; sections where the cul-
verts are not swept by rains, and where
many houses have no sewer connections.
and where the resident. are not As clean
aud careful aboul their premises as they
ought to be. II cleanliness counts for any
thing in sanitation, these are the places for
the Board OF Health to work. All OF the
streets and alleys are not In as good order
as in the franklin and Grace-street neigh
borhoOd.
The people will surely look TO the Board
NJ Health. The responsibility is upon
them till they prove TO the community that
the Council will not cooperate-a thing not
at all likely.

Thresh Your wheat Right.

At general meeting OF the members OF

were unanimously adopted:
Whereas the continued rain, which

Is calculated TO do serious injury TO the
wheat crop, and cause the same TO be
