Five Sailors Spl1eed Up For Two
 Days And Beaten About The Head
 By The Captain.
 BOSTON, Sept. 9.-When the brig Furness Abbey from Hong Kong reached Boston this morning three of her crew were delivered to the United States authorities charged with murder. Her captain was arrested on a charge of cruel and unusual punishment ad- ministered to five of his men and the mate was arrested for alleged beating and wound ing another sailor. The trouble occurred at Iloilo in March last on the way back from Hong Kong. As the story goes the mate en- deavored to drag from the forecastle sailor who said he was sick, whereupon James White, William Martin and James Williams set upon him, drove him to his cabin and threatened his life. The captain summon ed help from other vessels and overcame the mutineers. Five of them were triced up with their hands behind them. They claim that they were kept so, suffering great torture, from Saturday afternoon till Monday morn ing and that the captain beat them about the head while thus helpless. The captain, J. T. Marcy, claims that he released the men the same evening and admits punishing them severely. William J. Wilson, the mate, is charged with beating and wounding Arthur Haywood. All the cases will be heard Thurs day morning by Commissioner Hallett.

Of the 43 majority the democrats have
in the present House. 10 we're elected by
an aggregate plurality of 55S2. These
pluralties ranged from 81 in the First
District of Iowa to S37 in the Oneida Dis
triet of New York, the latter caused by
the Stalwart bolt. Massachusetts, Con.
necticut. New York. West Virginia and
California had one each of these close con.
gressional elections. New Jersey, Illinois
and Michigan two each. Iowa three, and
Ohio FIVE. In addition to these the Third
District in Chicago was thrown away by
the republicans running two candidates.
Here are twenty congressional districts.
nearly every one of which might have
been carried by the republicans with
strong candidates and an energetic cam
paign. Vigorous effort in the next cam
paign will be pretty certain to secure the
election of republican congressman in the
most of these districts.
