levee we noticed two well-fed, portly British
subjects standing on the wharf awaiting our
arrival. Their somewhat wild gesticulatiOns
and show of anxiety showed that they were
fully aware OF the capture Of their vessel, which
proved that there had been leak somewhere
at headquarters, which WAS nothing unc0m-

and demanding the instant release of the boat
and cargo. But il was of no use, as the oifense
had been too heinons for even show of mercy,

Emperor William was present at a sham fight
at Saarmund last Friday. He afterward gave an
audience to Munir Pasha, the Turkish Special
Envoy, who presented the Sultan's congratua-
lions to the Emperor upon his succession to the
throne. The interview was followed by court
banquet. The Emperor has ordered that the
mausoleum at Charlottenburg, where the re-
mains of Emperor William are deposited, be
opened to the public.
CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
On last Friday at voting precinct in the
Tenth District of Claiborne County, Tenn,
Burnside Yoakum shot aud killed James Smith
the Independent Republican candidate for
| County Trustee. Smith and Yoakums brother
were engaged in q hot discussion over the
election, when Yoakum walked up and shot
Smith through the temple, killing him in
stantly. Yoakum escaped. All the parties to
the dispute are Repubicans.-A disastrous
| storm visited Richview, Ill., and vicinity on
Thursday afternoon, and caused great damage
to the fruit crop and corn. Robbie Stinde, of
st. Louis, and Bert Eastman, two boys, had
taken refuge in barn. The barn was blown
down, and they were caught in the debris and
received fatal iniurios.-Geo. Fird, Sd Inf,

cable car at St. Paul, Mimi, Thursday night,
| fell under the car and was killed.-Police-

the task of securing the hatchways TO the
freight rooms, aTresting the parties in charge
of the boat and directing operations generally.
To me was given the task, after boarding the
boat, of securing possession of the officer and
all the property therein.
The plan was carried out successfully, and
before the smugglers were really aware of it
we were on board of their boat, had guards
posted in every part, and were collecting the
officers and crew in the cabin.
When / reached the office of the boat found
the door locked, but after repeated heavy
knocks a very sleepy man in robe de nuit eau
tiously opened the door and demanded to know
what was up. After gaining admittance in
formed him what we were there for, and told
him to find other quarters for the rest of the
night. This man was the SupercargO, or bust
ness manager, for the English company, and
was q shrewd, sharp Yankee, full of CANNON
and buster. His home was in New York,
where he afterward kept the Gilsey House and
one of the large hotels at Manhatten Beach, or
Coney Island. He claimed to be one of the
most loyal men on earth, and threatened dire
vengeance politically on the heads of Maj Me-
Kee and Gen. Slocum, the latter commanding
the district of Vicksburg.
We found the boat and cargo rich prize. In
the office safe, which was opened by the Purser
only after we threatened to blow it open, we
found $4,000 in 'Spinner's autographs" while
the lower deck was loaded with miscellaneous
merchandise, much of it contraband of war.
Only few hours before our arrival number
of Confederate officers had left the boat and all
day long a heavy business had been done with
the planters, the bar receipts alone for the day
being over $50.
The papers of the steamer were perfectly
regular, and consisted of the usual trading per-
NIT from the u. S. Treasurer, properly vised
by the commanders of districts along the river;
