with him n small red bag, which con-

meeting his friends at the station the
bag was forgotten, not being missed UNI
til hs arrived at the rectory. By this
time the train was miles away, and the
good bishop was in u %quandary as tc
what he should do, as the hamlet wal
too small to supply such deficiencies.
His friends provided for his immediate

have no trouble in securing the-truan'
bag, as the railway system Of looking
up lost parcels was 70 very perfect
In this instance these hopes proved
however, fa%llacious, as the bag was q.

died suddenly about l o'clock last night,
after having retired in the best Of health

tered and the remains placed in a coffin.
When the bearers started for the door
he crowd of negroes began to force
their way in, and a hand-to-hand con-
flict ensued. in which razors and clubs
were drawn by the colored contingent
and revolyers by the officers. Payne was
knocked down while in the act OF club

weapon drawn, and in another moment

CRUELTY AT SEA.
Survivors of the Cakes Make Serious
Charges Against Captain Reed.

New York, March 30.-A story of al
legged cruelty at sea, told by the sur
vivors Of the crew Of the clipper T. F.
Oakes, Is being put in legal form by
representatives Of the Seamen's union.
1t is understood that it will be used in
actions soon to be brought against Cap
tain Reed and the owners OF the clipper
ship, which reached this port after be-
ing 259 days out from Hong Kong.
The emaciated seamen, now in the
Marine hospital on Staten Island allege
that Captain Reed is directly responsible
for the illness Of all but two Of the crew
that they were kept on half rations dur
ing the greater part of the trip, and that
the vessel could have made New York
harbor sooner If the captain had taken
advantage of favorable conditions which
prevailed during much OF the nine
months they were OF the water.
Joseph Robinson made the statement
which will be used by the union, and

eral were able to subscribe their names
with difficulty, and one, John Benson,
is still SO weak that it is a question
whether he will recover The other men
are Gustave Anderson, Hans AFRO,
Christian Peterson, Henry Gustavson, S.
A. Fraser, Otto Sandstrom, Albert Lar
son, Frank Artello, Frank Weber and
Edwin Fromholdt.
I'VE were forced to- complain about
our food before we had been a week out
from Hong Kong" said Robinson, and
the entire crew vent to Captain Reed
July Z, only to be refused better provis-
ions. Our condition became such that
by the end of July we determined to
make another demand. and again the
entire crew complained. From July 81
to September 81 there was AN improve
ment, but on the latter date we were all
placed on half raCions aud SO continued
to the end Of our long journey.
iucle Is HO EedSUu why we SuOulu
have been SO long in coming to New
York from Hong Kong. We had favor
able windA most OF the time. bu, the
captain would not hoist sails to take the
fullest advantage Of them. In good sail
ing weather he often hoisted such sails
as most vessels would carry In a gale.
He said he took this course because he
was conservative.
while the men In the crew were
growing weak from a lack Of proper food
The captain raj living on chicken and
other good things. He had two crates
we'll filled with chickens when we left
port, and when the Cakes got into New
York harbor several chickens we're still
left. If The captain had killed them and
made soup for the crew, eve giving it
to US but once a week, the men would
have been able to retain their strength
instead Of coming in i'll and helpless"
