CRAzED BY BRUTAL TREATMENT.
An Almost Incredible Story of Brutality
and Wholesale Murder.

BALTIMORE, Jan. THE Sun gives in
substance as follows, translated from a
Russian paper an account of the crime
for which st. Petersburg court sentenced
Jan Umb, a Russian sailor, to ten years
penal servitude:
The Russian schooner Harness had
hardly left port in November. 1887, when
when Jan Umb denied an accusation of
having stolen clothing. Induced alter
nately by fioggings and Captain Harbo
and promises, a confession was extorted
which was followed by further whip
ping and confinement in a dark
cell for several days without food
or water when released he was abused by
the crew, and jumped overheard. The
captain promised better treatment if he
would allow himself be rescued and boat
being lowered he was brought back.
While changing his wet clothes he received
a brutal kicking about the head and naked
body and was again put below. Next
night December :, lSSS. he was ordered to
take the wheel and unable through weak
ness to perform duty the cap
tain struck him in the face and
ordered him TO follow him
seemingly for further punishment. As the
captain was picking up piece OF rope
Umb, now perfect maniac, seized hand
spike and struck and killed the captain.
He then killed in like manner two sailors
on deck. Procuring a shaath knife he
stabbed the cate. and proceeding forward
killed two more sailors in their sleep. The
cabin boy WAS killed next. Il Danish
steamer sighted the schooner, which II
towed to Copenhagen, where Jan Umb
was delivered to the Russian authorities.

A ROMANCE IN COURT,

New YORK, Jan. 7.-Helen Dauvray's
former husband, Leonard T. Tracy, gained
a point in the general term superior court
today, in the suit of Eva Heatou, the ac
tress, against him for the payment Of
5000 note payable to her on demand.
Miss Heaton had some time since got
verdict in lower court for S., 400. The
decision of the court orders new trial on
the ground of error.
There was q romance behind this story.
Miss Heaton, who known on the
stage as Etelka Wardell, met Tracy
in Philadelphia in 1887, when both
were members of an amateur comedy
company. She was then an electrician
and earning about $500 month. Tracy
fell in love with the pretty actress and
promised TO make her his wife. She ad-
vanced Tracy at different times total of
81, 900. At last he sent her note severing
the engagement. He did not care, he said,
to marry an actress. He then went to
Europe and came back with Helen Dauv-
ray as his wife. Soon after ia,ss Heaton
visited Tracy at his Broadway Office and
secured the note in dispute

A GREAT FISH MARKET.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Jan. To-day has
been the busiest day known in the history
of the fish business here. Since the disso-
luton of the Halifax combination and the
withdrawal of the New England company,

rations to control paddock as well as hall
but. Owners have instructed their skip
pers to sell here. The arrivals of fresh fish
today have been large, all being handled
by the Atlantic company and Stockbridge
company The amount landed and shipped
is $4,000 pounds of halibut, the price paid
being and Is cents per pound for gray

FIGHT BETWEEN ARTISTS.

LONDON, Jan. Artist Stott, who re-
sides principally in Paris, created hub
bub of excitement in the rooms of the
Hogarth club Wednesday night last by de-
nouncing his brothar artist Whistler, as
liar and coward. Whistler gave very
prompt evidence of his disapproyal of this
language, and after administering some
severe blows on Stott's head. the reports
saw, kicked the offender out of the room.
Artist Whistler subsequently wrote a
humorous letter TO the club committee,
giving the facts attending the
case and claiming that the measures
he had adopted would prevent in future
members of the club being made subject
10 insults Rumors of duel between the
two gentlemen have been prevalent and it
seems to be fully understood that Mr..
Whistler is willing to give satisfaction 10
Mr.. Stott. Mr.. Stott's grievance is under
stood to be that he was unfairly treated by
Mr.. Whistler when that gentleman was
president Of the royal society of British
artists

INDIANAPOLIS MINISTER'S.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. There was full
attendance at the regular meeting of the
Indianapolis Ministerial association today.
1t had been expected that something
would be said about the presidential in
augural ball, but the inaugural was very
lightly touched upon.
The following resolution was adopted
unanimously:
Resolved, That committee of seven.
representing the different denominations,
be appointed to prepare an address ex-
pressing our cordial Christian regard for
the president-eiect; said committee to re-
port at the regular meeting in February
and to make any necessary arrangement
for presentation of the address to General
Harrison.
The following committee was appointed
by the chair Rev DR.. S. H. Edison, II. A.
Cleveland, Jas. Jenckes, jr., Henry G.
Day, NJ. A. Hyde, DR.. Lucas and ID. o..
Darling.
D. r. Lucas read the paper of the day:
Subject, "Denominal pastoral relations" "
The paper was Catholic in spirit and held
to be sound by the majority OF those
present. By way of introduction the
doctor said: Take the various opinions
of brethren concerning the inauguration
ball for example. Those who favor the
ball ought not to say that those who OPP
pose it are purtianical, neither out those
who oppose the ball TO say that the other
is seeking popularity with the world. Let
charity characterize US in all things"

HOVEY,S INAUGURATION.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 7.-Preparations for
celebrating the Inauguration Of Governor
Hovey are on scale not previously at
tempted in Indiana. Never in the history
Of the state has there been such a thing as
an inaugural ball, but there be ball this
time that will eclipse all western inaugu-
raj balls and even rival the presidential
inaugural ball The executive COM
mittee has sent out 5000 invitations
and it is estimated that about 5000 will be
accepted The ball will be held at Tom
linson hall, the largest auditorium in the
state The galleries have seating cBpac-
ity of nearly 1900. General Hovey will
open his ball with his daughter, Mrs. Men
sizes Before the opening of the ball the
new governor and lieutenant governor
with the other state officers
and their wives will hold grand reception
at the capitol. Governor Hovey will be
assisted by his son Charles: also by Mr..
ana Mrs. Mensies and Miss Laura keene.
General and Mrs. Harrison will pay their
respects to the new governor and Lieu
tenant governor. A committee will meet
the president-elect at the door of
the capitol and escort him to the
governors parlors. General and Mrs.
Harrison will remain some little time at
the capitol. They will not attend the in
augural ball.
Russell B. Harrison has left for Omaha
to join his wife and daughter, who have
been visiting for month past at the home
of Mrs. Harrison's parents, ex-senator
and Mrs. Saunders.

That Cantankerous Old Woman

Described in the nursery ballad. who
Lived upon nothing but victuals and
drink" and yet would never be quiet,
was undoubtedly troubled with chronic
indigestion. Her victuals. like those OF
any other elderly persons whose digestive
powers have become impaired, didn't
agree with her This was before the era
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, or some
one of her numerous friends and relatives
would undoubtedly have persuaded her to
try the great specific for dyspepsia, consti-
nation and biliousness. This would have
been measure of self prosecution on their
part, for she would soon have been cured
and ceased to disturb them with her clat-
ter. The most obstinate cases Of indlges-
ton, with its attendant heartburn, tiatu-
lence, constant uneasiness of the stomach
and of the nerves, are completely overcome
by this sovereign remedy. Chills and
fever and bilious remittant, rheumatism
and kidney troubles are also relieved by it.

Raj ROAD CASE DECIDED.

LINCOLN, Neb, Jan. IA decision i'm
portant to railroad companies has been
handed down by the state supreme court
in which is known as the Plattsmouth
Bridge case. Cass county has for years
sought to tax Nebraska's half of the Bur-
lington bridge over the Missouri river.
The company has insisted that the bridge
was part of the roadbed and that it should
be assessed by the state board of railway
assessors. The suit grows out of this Diff
ference and the supreme court held that
the bridge was no part of the roadbed and
was therefore subject to taxation by local
officers This decision affects five other
Missouri river railroad bridges in Ne
