A ST. PAUL SEwspApEn
bouEht by Lowls HaHer, Lnto Proprietor Of
tho lssglstcr. .-

bought by Lowls BAKER, Lnto Proprietor oI
tho lssgistcr. y
A telegram was published Saturday say.
ing that Lewis Baker, founder and late
proprietor OF the daily Register, OF this
city, Ind bought a one.fourth interest in
the daily, 'weeklyan Sunday Globe, Of ST.
Paul, Minnesota. The paper is spoken Of
rs one OF the leading Democratic news.
papers OF the Northwest, and the field will
afford employment for Mr.. Bakers Jour.
nallstic and executive abilities. It is stated
that Mr. Baker is to assume the position
OF editor-in-chief, which will become ya.
cant February LIST. The paper has passed
into the hands of joint stock company
with a capital OF Sl10,D00. Oi this Mr.
Baker holds controlling interest. Com.
modorc kilson, the well known million
airc, and Patrick Kelly, the member for
Minnesota OF the National Democratic
Committee, are also largely interested in
the company. ~
The report is not known to be true here,
but Mr.. Baker has been in St. Paul for
several DAYS negotiating for the purchase
Of the Globe.
MIR. Baker aud his son, John +. Baker,
late managing editor OF the Register, will
leave for St. Paul February. The family
will probably remain here ior some time,
however.
Mr.. Baker recently received nm offer
from the proprictors OF the Washington
Critic looking to the purchase by him OF a
controlling interest in that paper, but the
project was not cOnsummated.

HORRIBLE BRUTALITY.
The Inhuman Conduct of tho Captain OF m
".g.t .H. Oyster SloDp,


| WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. terrible
story Of brutality, endlng..witli tho murder
OH German oysterinan, comes from Bal.
timore. Tho victim was named Mayhcr,
who shipped with two companions, for
tho oyster season on tho Chesapeake. All
went we'll fora time. They worked hard
and were fairly treated. About week be-
fore his death Mayher complained Of feel
ing unwell. lie told his comrades that he
had pains In his stomach. His indsposi-
ton was attributed by them TO exposure,
and, with Il iow days rest, thoy think lle
would have recovered. The Captain,
however, refused 10 let him OH. ue was
ordered 10 his work Us usual, and when
he finally declined he was knocked down
and brutally beaten. From that day
Mayher was subjected to the most horrible
treatment. "a. +Hf ~
Among other punishmcnts was that Of
being hit with marlin spike and knocked
down. lie was then kicked until he iaint-
cd again he was beaten with Il ropes end
until he fairly yelled with pain. 10 stop
ius cries the Captain planted his heels on
his victims throat and stiiled him to un-
consciousness. At another time ropc
was fastened about his urmpits, and he
was hoistcd up by the halyards, stripped
oi his lower garments and drenched about
the lower limbs with ice cold water. On
the day before his death he WIS taken
down into the hold and strung up by his
thumbs, the body being suspended above
The flooring. While in this position he was
swung to and fro in order to increase the
torture.
These are only samples Of the cruelty
praeticcd on the poor youth, and to all OF
which the two Germans arc ready to make
oath. On tho day previous to that on
which Alayher died, the captain, they
charge, was more vindictive than ever.
Owing 10 the terrible treatment he had
received, AIayher was so weak us 10 be
scarcely able to walk. The vessel had
reached Lower Paramount, where the
work OF unloading was begun. Nlayhcr
was down in the hold when ordered UP.
Unable to speak English, he by signs init
mated his inability to work. This iniuria.
ted the captain, who, springing upon the
defenseless victim, pounded him upmer-
Finally he brought it down with crush
ing effect upon the poor fellows loins. In
his agony he writhed OH the ground and
shrleked for mercy as best he could. To
prevent his cries being heard, the Cap
tain, they charge, placed his boot heel on
the PROSTATE mans throat, and kept it
there until Inconsistencies pre-
vented n further outcry. The work OF
unloading was continued, and ut nightfall,
when all was quiet, the Captain or
dered Boye and Haase to bring their COM
rade on deck. They obeycd the order,
and, moro dead than alive, Mayher was
brought from below. When they had de-
posted their burden on deck they were
ordered below, there to remain until call
ed. They went down, built fire, discuss
ing among themselves the probable dis
position Of their comrade. Nlayhcr was
discovered next morning dead Oh the
shore. The Captain has been arrested.

Vanderbilt Determined to Have tho Full
Measure of His Bond.
Dispatch to Cincinnati Enquirer Of Sunday.
New York, Dec. 27.-It was slearncd to-
night that the execution on issued upon
the judgment obtained by VIM. II. Van
derbilt against General U. S. Grant covers
houses in Washington aud Philadelphia,
farms near St. Louis and Chicago and all
the relics, swords, medals and gifts re-
ceivcd by General Grant from the several
European rulers and distinguished per-
sons during his trip around the world.
1t also covers the testimonial Of thanks
voted by Congress. Mrs. Grant has con.
sented TO waive her interest in the real
estate in order TO fully satisfy Mr. Wander
bil.'s claim. The farm near Chicago is
valued ut S25 600, and the one near St,
Louis at SG5,000, The foregoing is the
general nature OF General Grants admis-
sion to General Sherman, on the occasion
OF tho latter's visit to General Grant q
day or two ago, and which General Sher.
man has told to several friends OF the ex.
President.
An effort has been made to prevent
what is understood to be sacrifice OF
General Grants most important possess
sions. The fact was elected that Mr..
Vanderbilt had consented to release his
claim OF 100000, and Cyrus W. Field had
undertaken to raise part Of it. General
Sherman, it is said, has gone to Philadel-
phia and Washington to secure tho bal
ance OF the amount.

his income. By natural growth his enor-
nous wealth increases every day. Yet, II
heis correctly reported, he is squeezing
the last penny and the last trophy out Of
poor old General Grant. Vanderbilt is the
camel of whom il is written that it is
easier ior him to so through the eye OF n
needle. It's impossible to believe that
the country will allow General Grant 10
end his days in poverty. He has been
unfortunate, even unwise, but the coun-
trys sdebt to him is so great that it could
rotpay ii though it were to make him rs
rlcA as Vanderbilt is mean and cruel.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. oS.-A Re
pucltcan reporter saw several promincn,
gentlemen oil this city with reference te
tho news received here from New
York that General Grants personal
property, including his sword and medals
presents received by him while abroad,
his pictures, his two farms and his houses
in this city and St.fLouis had been in.
ventoried and are to be sold to meet the
Judgment held against him by W. Ii,
Vanderbilt. -r.
Among the gentlemen interviewed were
W. W. Corcoran, General Beale and Gen.
eral Vanvliet, NIL Of thcm old friends Of
General Grant. General Beale said he had
not heard any details OF the story. lie
was very much shocked whom he read
it, and said he thought there was a mis-.
take about it, and finally that he did not
believe it. lie said Gen. Grants st. Louis
farm was sold threcmonths ago fors5O, 900,
it's estimated value being $G5, 900, and that
his farm in Illinois is virtually sold, and
will bringi its full value, So, 900. He said he
received letter from Gen. Grant recently
i'll which ho said he was in poor health,
and OH Friday last he received one from
Fred Grant, in which he stated his father
was confined TO his room and his condi-
ton was such us to alarrthis family. Gen,
Beale added: at is my belief that this
illness which could not be accounted for
is caused by his anxiety"
General Nanvliet said he had do
doubt it would be found an easy matter to
raise the money necessary to clear away
this judgment. He said General Sherman
is now in Philadelphia, and he added he
thought by the time General Sherman
reaches this city he will have at least
1000 to pay OF the judgment, even if
that sum came from the pockets Of Mr..
Drexel and Mr.. Childs alone.
Mr.. Corcorun'said he would not start
subscription to relieve General Grant OF
this Judgment, but would assist in pre-
venting the sale OF his personal effects.
lie thought it would be dishononble in
the people OF the. United States If an ex.
President and soldier like General Grant
should be obliged to sacrifice the trophies
Of his service to the country for u few
thousand dollars.
