A Talc of CaunIbniism From Two
SurYiYnrs of the EarMmOOrys Crew.

Survivors of the EarnmoOr's Crew.
BALTIMORE Oct. 25.--Carl Grave, fireman,
and Ludwig Loder, seaman, two survivors
OF the crew Of the steamship Earnmoor,
told last night a horrible story OF the way
they sustained life by cannibalism for days.
Loder says.
"rhe only food wa had the first Is days
in the boat was flying fish and few raw
small sea birds, divided among IL men.
The 10th day out, William Davis, seaman,
caught mo by the throat and made dash
ct my head with knife. He cut me on
the right cheek, the scar from which still
remains. He was told to kill me by August
Plagge, a fireman. When Davis began TO
cut me, soma OF my companions caught
him, but others shouted: XIII him, Kill
him; wa wat something to eat. We are
starving, 1t seems that Plagge, Davis
and others, In one end of the boat had de-
cided that should die, "a suppose, being
quite fat, looked inviting. Plagge was
| placed OH watched that night, but he was
missing next morning. No one saw him 90
overheard.
"on the 18th day william Robinson lay
down to sleep. When they tried to call
him they found him dead. 1t was deter
mined TO eat his flesh, and William Wright,
! the cook, was ordered to carve the body,
The next day the flesh, In strips. was placed
| on top Of the water.tight COMPARTMENT and
dried in the sun. After taking out Rob
inson's liver, heart and other parts which
would furnish blood to qIeneh thirst, they
throw his mutilated body Into the sea.
"Pwo days after l,oblnson's death. Thlrd
Engineer Thomas Hunt died. His body
was niso cut up Tor food"
an about three days" said Loier, "thf
limbs and feet CT all began to swell, ant
several have since broken out in ugly acres
We think It is poison from the human ilssh
gui blood"
Both Grave and Loder say that they hav
no recollection OF the taste of human flesh
20 great YVES their mental anguish At Thu
\ time. Their only recollection Of taking TIT
food is feeling their own blood quicken a
II coursed through their veins.

West, ESQ, secretary If the association,
was also present by invitation.
Inspector Desvergers submitted his regu-
lar report of daily inspections of food,
produce, etc. and reported that he had
found one of the vaults under the market,
during market hours yesterday, il sh OK
ingly filthy condition; turkeys aud ether
birds running loose in it. and 4 stencil COM
ing up from it so offensive as to be percepti-
BILE on the rect. The door of the vault
was locked aud the kew was not at the mar
ket, but its condition could be seen through
the opening into the area north Of it.
The committee, by resolution, instructed
the inspector to at once place the person or
persons RESPONSIBLE for the condition Of the
vault upon the information docket of the
police court.
The inspector also reported that the
chairman OF the street and lane committee
was having very effective work done to-
ward the d ainage of the hog in the rear
Of the old gas works; that the back dam
Of the Springfield plantation was
being packed and strengthened, and that
