Forty-Eight Hours in the Rigging.

NEW YORK, May 8.-The ship. Lucille of Freeport, Me, Captain Lawrence, thirty eight days from Liverpool, arrived at tbis port to-day with the captain and crew, four teen all told, of the Norwegian bark liar monie, from Pensacola for London. On April z, after heavy gales from the south west, the Lucille fell in with the Harmonic, Captain Linnaie, which waterlogged with the foremast gone and the decks swept. The bark was fast breaking up, the seas making clean sweep over her. The crew had been in the mizzen rigging for forty eight hours and many of them could not have endured the exposure another night as their limbs were much swollen from cold and con stant exposure. Each one had to jump over board as the boat of the Lucille, which made two trips to the bark, could not approach close enough, the waves were running so high.

Charged With Perjury and Contempt
 of Court.
 NEW YORK, May .9.-Harvey M. Munsell of 224 West Fifty-second street, an insur- ance broker who was the eleventh juror in the trial of Dick Short for assault with in- tent to kill Captain Phelan, was arrested to-day at the instance of District Attorney Maritime and lodged in Ludlow street jail on the charge of perjury and contempt of court. MT. Maritime claims to have evidence that Munsel is an old friend of Shorts: that he talked with Short on the day before the trial began; that he visited Rossa's office during the trial, and that he argued in the jury room for Shorts aequittal The charge of perjury is based on Munsell's oath that he did not know Short. Under the statute it is also m1sdemea1or for @ juror U willfu1ly receive information respecting the case ex- cept by the proceedings in court and the contempt of court consisted in disobeying the usual inst tructions of the judge to the jurors. MT. Maritime claims to have evidence against others of the jury which will justify their arrest
 Munsell admitted tonight that he had vis- ited Rossa's office to see if witnesses had de scribed it correctly. He says that he con versed with no one there and that he does not know Short.

A Clue to Lfbby's Whereabouts.

CHICAGO, May S.-The Pinkertons claim to-day that they have clue as to the where abouts of Charles A. Libby, the missing New York and Chicago shirt manufacturer. They believe him to be alive, but refuse to divulge the facts. The friends and relatives of Mrs. Libby of Philadelphia, where she was married seven years ago, have been noti- fed, but it is not thought that they will have time to reach here before the burial, as the corpse cannot be kept long. The burial will take place at Graceland, where MT. and Mrs. Libby have child buried. Two beautiful little daughters scarcely old enough to realize their great misfortune have been removed from the scene of the tragedy and will be kept away until after the burial Their uncle, MT. James L. Libby will then take them with him to his home in New York

Rubber Hands Out On Strike.

BRISTOL, R. l., May S.-About one hun dred men employed in the cutting and vanishing rooms of the National Rubber oompany's works left work here to day shortly after the hour of assembling A meeting was held and committee appoint ed to wait upon J. F. Williams, superintend- ent, to see what arrangements could be made Meanwhile work was stopped in every de- partment and the remainder of one. thousand two hundred hands left their rooms There are two causes assigned as the reason of the strike. One year ago the National Rubber company became embarrassed and their works were shut down. On resuming re- duction was made in the wages of seven per- cent, which caused dissatisfaction and the dis satisfaction has increased during the past few months by the fact that competing compa- nies all over the country that also made re- duction with the National company have lately returned to their old, or to an approxi- mate scale of wages, while the National has not done so. Another cause assigned is the overdue, it being said that the company owes it's employees wages up to within few days since January. Superintendent Will Hams informed the committee waiting on him that arrangements would be made for the balance due them and they would be paid as soon as possible. He also stated that other rubber companies would be communicated with and if they were paying their hands more than wal the National company the seven per cent. reduction would be made good from May 1.

The "Solidituv q Mu,h.

What is the Solidity Life Insurance asso-
citation, of Minneapolisa That is the ques-
ton that is being propounded by the heirs Of
the late Henry Hamm. The deceased had
insurance in number of companies and
among the policies found in his effects was
one in the Solidity for $4,000. The policy
bears, as president, the signature OF Geo. A.
Pillsbury, our astute mayor, the author of the
famous patrol district scheme. Mr..
Henry Espeub och took the policy in
question to his honor. (the prrsident)
and was referred to o. c. Merriman, whose
signature appears as chairman OF tine board
OF trustees. Mr.. Merriman is in the east
and no information Was available from that
source. Mr.. Erpeu boch consequently went
back to MIR. Pilisbury and asked him if it
was truly bis signature which was attached to
the policy. This Interrogation elected an
affirmative response. But said the mayor,
IL don't know anything about the company.
/ have resigned.'
This was certainly surprising remark,
coming, as it did, from the man who has
been heraldnd as typical man of honor.
That he should sign, us president, paper be
knew nothing of and the onditions of which
he will not execute, Is strange, to say the
least.
Mr.. Espen bach also holds policy in the
so-called Solidity, executed and delivered
May l6, 1888, and upon which he has paid
1874. He naturally feels lively interest in
the affair, and says he proposes to take it into
the courts.
inquiry of the state commissioner reveals
the fact that nothing OF the existence of the
Solidity is known at the capitol. John w.
Bond is the reputed secretary of the alleged
association, but it is reported that he has left
the state.

commerce of the country for all time to the
greed and cupidity of the railroads without
endeavoring TO protect themselves against
extortion. There was no reason why the
railroads should not be as popular as they
were necessary. They were public servants,
and were no more justified in charging the
poor man or small shipper more for service
rendered him than was charged for a like
service to rich man or large shipper. 1t
would be like the case of judge who should
feel justified in imposing light penalty on
a man who was often in court because he was
a wholesale offender and impos-
ing a heavy penalty on man who
was honest enough to be occasionally brought
into court.

amendment. If the proposed amendment
were adopted small enterprises would be en-

he charges for smaller package Of goods Of

to fall within the power of congress to regu-
