Unparalleled Cruelty by the Cap.
tain and Mate af the John
4. Hrigs<.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. s-A tale of
cruelty and starvation on the high seas,
equaling II not exceeding that related Of
the American ship A. G. Ropes. with which
the entire continent resounded but a short
time ago. was told today In the Office OF
United States District Attorney Foote by
I'VE weak and seurvy-strieken sailors OF
the American ship John A. Briggs. of San
Francisco. They swore 20 complaint
charging Capt. J.. W. Balch with having
misused and starved his men. while First
Mate johnson also will be arrested for
cruelty beating and wounding sailors on
the high seas.
The John A. Briggs sailed from Ralti-
more little over five months ago. bound
fer this port. Before a month had passed
the potato supply was exhausted. Haid from
then until the close OF the voyage no vege-
tables of any sort were served the sailors.
OF this alone they would not have COM
planned but they say Capt. Balch ahso-
luteiy starved them Three times day
the crew were served with one-half OF
small loaf of bread, making about four
slices, and two thin slices of salt beef or
junk, cut very thin. Day by day the men
grew weaker and weaker. and in body
they complained to the captain. as ing for
more bread. The captain promised to give
them a whole loaf. He kept his promise.
but previously gave orders to the cook to
reduce the size Of the loaves
Before Cape Horn had been reached two
of the men. Charles Jarvela and George
Nichols were attacked with scurvy. and
the entire crew had been driven to such
straits that In order to save their lives
they were compelled TO eat the grease used
to lubricate the masts. All hands were
shortly in horrible state particularly the
two suffering from scurvy. They were so
weak they could scarcely work the ship,
and, to make matters worse, several
storms were encountered. On July % the
mate ordered Jarvela TO move quicker. At
that time the poor fellow was nearly dead
from starvation. and his limbs were 50
swollen with scurvy that each movement
of his body caused him excruciating pain.
He replied that he could not move quicker,
whereupon Johnson struck him to the
deck In his fall Johnson dislccated his
right arm at the elbow. and while still
down johnson proceeded to beat and kick
him numerically.
On August . Johnson administered a ter
rible beating TO Jarvela. this time breaking
his nose. Later on Mate Johnson beat
Abel Peterson into insensbility. Seaman
George Nichols was terribly maltreated
As seen today. Nichols and Jarvela. suffer
ing from scurvy. presented revolving
sight Their limbs, hands and faces were
swollen. their skin bloodless and ghastly.
Both men are at the United States marine
hospital for treatment.

HUGH GRANT on BRYAN.
Takes Little stock in His Predic-
tionx or His Democracy.


NEW YORK. Nov. S-The Journal and
Advertiser prints the following from For
mer Mayor Hugh Grant concerning the re-
cent New York elections:
THE conclusion Of Mr. Bryan that the
results of the recent election indicate pop
ular dissatisfaction with the policy or the
Republican party Is undoubtedly correct.
/ heartily hope that the Republican party
will be oyerthrown in 1900, but II is early
for any one but an enthusiast like Mr..
Bryan to make up his mind as TO what viii
happen three years hence.
bryan did nothing for the local Democ-
racy this year The secretary of the DEM
ocratic national committee who is presum-
ably very close to him In sympathy, repu-
dated the candidacy of Judge Van Wyck
on the ground that Judge Van Wyck did
not stand upon the silver platform Of the
Chicago convention. and gave to Mr..
George whatever support he had to give.
The trouble with Mr.. Bryan and the secre-
tary of the national committee is that they
cannot adapt themselves TO changing con-
ditions."

GEORGIA HAS A NEW WONDER
Thirteen-Year-OId Fannie Hester
Performs Marvellous Feats.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 29.-Georgia has
had several electric women, but a little
girl just discovered is able TO discount
all their performances. Her name is
Fannie Hester, IL years old. and until
three months ago ala not oiifei fioia the
commonplace type Of Georgia country
girls. Last November, by so simple an
occurrence as the visit of a tramp pain
ter. the little girls miraculous muscular
power was discovered. The painter en-
tertained the family with tales of spirit
rapping, or table talking, and Miss Fan
ME tried. Ii was seen that her hands
impaired some inexplicable force to
whatever she touched. 1t was at night
when the discovery was made, and on
going to her fathers bed to tell him Of Ii
she touched one of the posts with her
hand. The post promptly left the hoor
and thumped two or three times. The
bedstead weighed eighty-six pounds,
and the man reclining on 1t 140. Miss
Hester appeared at the court house in
this place before a large and incredulous
audience last night and went through
her regular performances. Various tests
are made. A man Is asked to take a firm
hold on a tin pan. The young nm
touches the palm of her hand against
the bottom Of the pan and the pan
moves and twists In spite of the mans
utmost efforts TO hold 1t. A stick or steel
rod held at the ends by a man gyrates
and scc-saws, no matter how great the
resistance.
