CRUELTY AT SEA.
A Captain Under Arrest for Terri
bly, Maltreating His Crew.

From the Nel0 York Sun.
NEW BEDFORD, July 20.-A terrible
story OF cruelty, murder and mutiny on
board the bark Petrol, of this port, comes
from Auckland, where the Captain and 9th
ers are under arrest. On their arrival at
Bushels, Bay Of Islands, the authorities
were requested by Capt. Reed, Of the Pc
tral, to search for four GeSerters. The
men were found and taken before local
magistrate. They said that they were on
their way TO Auckland to make complaint
to tue American Consul OF the outrage on
board the bark. They said that one OF the
crew had been Killed and another fatally
injured by fearful maltreatment.
Officers went on board the ship TO
search for currobOrative evidence, and
found it in abundance. The man said to
have been fatally injured was not on
board, but the officers were informed that
when the mate saw them coming he had
lowered the wounded man INTO boat aud
ordered Il crew to carry him ashore. The
police followed, and found the victim
lying on the beach. He was terribly cut
and bruised, entirely paralyZed, and had
broken leg. All the crew testified
against the Captain and two OF his mates.
The man alleged to have been murdered
was William }. BrittOn, the ships cooper.
The story OF the crew is that from the
outset Of the voyage they did not get su
ticient food. AND that the crueltics of the
officers. began in a daY or two after leaV-
ing this port. Ther chief spite seemed 10
be against the cooper. He was repeatedly
beaten and kicked by the Captain and
mate. One of the mates sometimes
amused himself by pulling out handful
OF the mans whiskers. On more than one
occasion BrittOn was stripped by order
of the mate. and other members of the
crew were compelled to take of his skin
by rubbing him with bricks and sand.
One OF the poor fellows legs
was swollen till it was fully
eighteen inches In diameter. When
he finally died there was scarcely a sound
spot on his body. All the sailors tesii-
fled that they were frequently kicked aud
beaten by the Captain and other officers.
One man was pulled about the deck with
a rope around his neck. A sailor named
Lake testified that he was forced into the
rigging when too sick to stand. Other
sailors helped him. but he was unable to
keep his position and fell to the deck. He
has been paralyZed ever since.
The Captain is now in jail at Auckland
on a charge of murder awaiting removal
TO this country. His defense is n gen.
eral denial and a charge that some OF the
men conspIred with the third mate to
mutiny, and that he was forced to resort
to harsh measures in dealing with the
men.

A DEAD CoNsUL's BODY.
How the Appropriation for Remov.

From the Washington Post.
The body OF the late E. II. Rogers, Con
sui at Vera Cruz, will shortly be dis
patched from that place to his friends IN
Nebraska. Under the laws OF Mexico
five years must elapse before the body Of
a person diving Of contagious disease

Aug. |, 1891, so that there are yet seven
days before ms remains can be dug up
and shipped 10 this country.
In connection with this case it is re-
called thai the expenses of bringing Mr..
KoHers' corpse home were appropriated
for by Congress, not only before ne was
dead, but before he left this country to 60

portation OF the bodies OF consuls dying
abroad to their homes in this country A
resolution was then introduced in the
Senate appropriating money to pay for
the bringing home Of the body of n Consul
who had died in Vera Cruz several wears
before. Objection was made, the Director
stating that IL might be necessary also TO
appropriate money for the return OF his
successor. Mr.. Rogers, although appoint.

Anchoring the Buildings.

G. Ell. Cook wishes to call the attention
of property owners to the Architectural
Device. By applying this, you strength
en- a building, and prevent the wear and
tear on timbers and plaster which take
place, even under the force of ordinary
winds.
As shown by official reports, eighty per
cent. more damage is done to property in
this way than in the way of destruction
by the monster cyclone. It will pay ev-
cry person owning building to make
careful examination of the Device, which
can be seen on the following buildings:

Referring to the disposition of the
above taxes, Treasurer Gibbs is ready to
honor properly certifed orders from st.
John and Wallace townships for the
amounts credited to their school districts.
There is no question to be raised con-
corning the fact that the rest of the funds
paid for st. John township are part of
our county resources.
AS to what will be the action in refer
ence to the $2,663.62 of township tax for
Wallace township, the World can only
say that In view of the able legal counsel
which the railroad company keeps on
hand, they, in all probability, did not pay
this money into our treasury with their
eyes shut. Several individuals in Wallace
township have paid their taxes to our
county treasurer this month.
We have taken no part in the discus
sion as to whether Wallace county is
organized, and are not writing this ar
ticle as a reflection against the good
people up there who believe it is. The
World merely states these facts as it
understands them: They are good
enough for practical purposes. Our
county treasury is in a plethoric condi-
ton. The fame of our county, whose
people have proceeded on the plan of
keeping out of debt, is not to be furnished.

The discourses of Dr. Munhall, the distin-
euished evangelist, have from the first awak-
ened an interest in this city that has not been
shared by any one class The plainly phrased
appeals to the unconverted have apparently
borne good fruit in many quarters, and the thrill
ing tones of the gospel singer Mr.. Northup,
serve to intensity the attration offered to saint
and sinner alike. TO many the somewhat pecu-
liar method of DIR. Munhall has been a revea-
ton and source of satisfaction. His power of
Illustration and fund of anecdotes has held the
listener spell bound during the time of service.
With seeming faith in the intelligence and rea-
of those whom he seeks to influence, the
speaker is not averse to keeping his hearers in
good humor by how and then giving them some
thing to laugh at
