A CRUEL CAPTAIN.
Tales OF Hardship and Shocking Bru-
tality.

TACOMA, w. T., Nov. 5.
Sixteen sailors of the ship Hecla which
arrived here Yesterday, loaded with wheat
for Great Britain, entered suit in the district
court against Captain Snow of that vessel for
cruelty.
They allege that the Hecla started for
Cardiff, Wales, with a crew of sixteen men.
After she had been out but short time,
the captain began feeding his men on rotten
meat and potatoes, and both Captain Snow
and his mate shamefully abused the sailors
While near Cape Horn Captain Snow at
tackled the carpenter, breaking his jaw and
knocking out his teeth. A few days later
he nearly killed one of the men. When de-
bilitated by the poor food they were unable
TO work and every sailor was put into the
hold and tied in such a manner that he
neither could stand nor lie down.
In that position he kept them for forty
eight hours. One of the men asted to a
stanchion for four days without food Dur
ing this time his scant rations were placed
within his sight but not in his reach. When
the Hecla reached Acapulco the men were
weak from i'll treatment and insufficient
food.
The brutal captain with the aid of Mexican
troops cast them into dungeon and kept
them there until the vessel was ready to sail.
The men appealed to the United States
consul to Acapulco but were unable to OBJ
tain any assistance from that quarter The
case will come up in court today.

PoRTLAsD, Nov. 5.
About IL 30 o'clock Monday forenoon a
terrible explosion was heard at South Wind
ham, and it was found that the powder mills
at Gambo, about two miles distant, belonging
to the Oriental Powder Company, had been
blown to atoms. There were four buildings.
one kernel mill and three wheel mills The
explosion originated in the kernel mill, how
is not known. There was only fraction of
a second between the explosion of the kernel
mill and the other three, so that all four
went into the air practically together. There
were only Two men in the mills at the time
ans both of them are fatally hurt. Walter
Childs, aged 40 years, was mangled about the
head, legs and arms and terribly torn. He
Is still alive but cannot live long. He has
wife and a child. Edw ard Williams, aged
30, had just gone out of the kernel mill and
was between two buildings. He was struck
in front and rear and cannot live He has
wife and two children. The four buildings
were wooden and each about 2S feet square.
The property was not valuable There was
some stock on hand. Everything is total
loss. The mills have been blown up several
times before but this is the cleauest thing
that has ever occurred. The shock of the
explosion was plainly felt in Portland

INDIANA.
Preparations Being Made in HarrlSOn'S
State.
The Methods by Which the Public 10 to
Receive the News
INDIANAPOLIs. Nov. 4

lNDIANAPOLIs, Nov. 8.
Extensive preparations were completed
this evening for receiving and distributing
the returns from Indiana, the returns to be
collected by the Associated Press All the
comparisons will be with the Presidential
vote of 1884 The first returns received will
be by precincts. There are 1873 precincts
in the State, an increase of five over the pre-
cincts of 1884. AS soon as twenty precincts
are reported the vote will be added and sent
the first election bulletin: each bulletin
will give the exact vote of 1884 for the same
precincts. As soon as twenty additional
precincts are reported they will be added to
the first 20 and the result will comprise the
second regular bulletin.
Returns by counties will also be sent in
addition TO the precinct bulletins, but ii is
scarcely probable that any county returns
will be received before one or two o'clock
Wednesday morning, as the ticket in Indl-
ana contains from 81 to 40 names, and under
the law each name on the ballot must be
caledoff This will necessarily delay the
returns.
The polls will open from to A. NJ,
and close at 6 p. NJ. No counting is per-
mitted till the polls are closed

An Increased Vote.

IA of which Cleveland received PA 800,
Blaine 23s, 1852, Butler s293, and st. John
302S
1t is conservatively estimated that tomor-
rows vote will reach from 520, 900 to 53O,-
900, showing large increase over 1884.
Next to the result in the State
at large the greatest interest centers
in this, Marion county. Many local wagers
have been laid on the ou,come. There are
20 precincts in Marion county, including the
city of Indianapolis. The vote in 1884 was
Cleveland, l4,205, Blaine, ABB, Butler,
466, St. John, l72. After the Marion
county vote the interest centres upon the
vote of the second ward of indianapolis
Gen. Harrison's ward in 1884 gave Blaine,
12s, Cleveland, 229, Butler, st. John, IL.
Harrison's precinct the third, gave Blaine,
236, Cleveland, Go, others nothing.
The democratic State committee has ar
ranged also to bring returns by precincts
end the associated press will handle their
returns, giving the totals of every thirty
precincts, stating with each bulletin IL at the

Special wires have been run into democratic

BOST0N'S PARADE.
The Big Political Event Of the Campaign
Successful.
Long Lines OF Enthusiastic Repubh-
cana.


BosIoS, Nov. 5.
The only political parade of any magni.
tude in this city during the present campaign
vas made tonight by the republicans and was
successfully planned and carried out. Har-
rlson and Morton clubs and other political
organizations from all parts of New England
were in line, including the Loyal League of
l25 men from Bangor, Me, the Harrison
and Morton battalion of Worcester, Plumed
knights of Providence, Boothbay Club of
Boothbay Me-, and the Harrison and Morton
Louaves of Milford, n. II.
Prominent among the organizations from
Boston and vicinity were the Harvard Col
lege Harrison and Morton Club, of five hun
dred or six hundred men, Harvard Medical
battalion, delegation of students from the
Institute of Technology. numbering from
four hundred to five hundred, and battalions
from the Boston Latin School, English High
School, Boston Dental College, American
Watch Company of Waltham, and the Wool
Sorters' Industrial Club of Arlington mills,
Lawrence.
About o'cl)ck, Hon. James G.
Blaine, accompanied by Mrs. Blaine,
Miss Rachel Sherman and Walker Blaine,
reached the city on the Boston &
Albany railroad. They were met at the de-
Chairman Burden of the Republican State
Committee and under the escort of the Loyal
League of Bangor of which Mr.. Blaine is
an honorary member. The party proceeded to
Young's Hotel where lunch was eaten.
Subsequently Mr.. Blaine was escorted to the
Brunswick where he reviewed the process
sion from the grand stand. The hour fixed
for the start was $50 O'Clock and but little
delay was experienced. The route selected
was through the principal steeets and thor
oughfares, and the streets were packed
throughout its entire length, many residences
being decorated and Illuminated, while fire.
works of various descriptions were discharged
at frequent intervals along the route.
The paraders made very creditable ap-
pearance, many organizations marching in
perfect time. The mounted companies made
an especially fine appearance. The tall hats
and black frock of the Harvard men and the
long gowns of the Technology boys, white
frocks of the market men and the picturesque
costumes of the Mother Hubbards' and
" Belva Lockwoods" kept the crowds in good
humor.
The procession formed in Copley Square
and as it passed the Brunswick was review ed
by the Blaine party which had been increas-
ed by the arrival of Congressman Boutele
and Atty Genl Baker of Maine; Gev. Ames,
Lieut. Gov. Bracket and other prominent
republicans. The procession entered
Washington street at Worcester street, and
marched through Washington street to
Adams square where the procession was
dismissed Probably from $4,000 to $4,000
men were in line and no accident occurred as
far as known. Blaine leaves for Augusta
tomorrow forenoon. In an interview he ex-
pressed himself as very sanguine of Repub-
llcan success tomorrow and thought the cam.
paign admirably managed by Chairman
Quay and associates.
