GOOD PROOF OF MARRIAGE.

Registered I'm the Justices Hat and
Secures a Life Insurance.
Wilkesha~re, Pa, Oct. %. George Bounds
and Mary Rogers We're married in wilkes
barre i'm 1884 by Squire Donohue. The
squire mace n memorandum OF the marriage
in the lining in his high silk hat. The news
of Clevelards election came on the night
of the marriage, and in the public demon
stratjon that followed DoDohua's lat was
wrecked. 1t was taken home and laid on
d shelf.
Bounds and his wife went West, where
the husband was employed on rail
road a. brakeman. A year ago he was
killed in Colorado. He was 3 member
of the Railway Brotherhood. The latter
would pay no insurance to the widow
until she furnished a marriage certificate
This SHE could not do.
She wrote to Donohue, but he had for
gotten all atout the marriage. Then the
widow came ON to Wilkesbarre, but the
justice could not identify her.
The woman returned to the West, broken
hearted. Two months or SO ago Mrs. Dono-
hue was cleaning house, when she came
upon her husbands dilapidated old .'stove-
pipe hat" OF 1884. In the lining was a
record of the marriage. 1t could he read
plainly. Squire Donohue then forwarded
the hat and "a record OF the marriage to
the widow, now residing in Montana.
Today the justice received an acknowl-
edgment from Mrs. Bounds. She said that
the hat and the 'squire's note had done the
work, and she had been paid the insur-
ance Of 1000 on her husbands death.

SLAVE IN AN ALIEN SHIP.
Landsman Mitchell, of Florida, Tells
of "a Voyage as a Pressed Man.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Edward Mitchell a tall. rosy-cheeked
young man, was consular passenger on
the St Paul, which arrived from South
ampton yesterday. He says he was shang-
haied aboard the Nova Scotia ship George
4. Hay at Mobile last August and had a
story to tell Of unusual cruelty and hard
snip in three months voyage.
Mitchell, who is nineteen years old, is
from Pensacola and had never been to sea
While on a visit to Mobile, Mitchell says
a clearinghouse master named Peoples
inveigled him aboard the Nova Scotia yes
sci.
The Pensacola lad told Capt Spicer of
the Hay, that he was a landsman and ask
Ell TO be set ashore He says Capt Spicer
told him that he would have to 60 along
whether he signed the ships articles or
not.
Next day Mitchell and a shipmate nam
ed Lemon, from Detroit, found that they
were bound for Rio de Janeiro The lot of
galley slaves was never worse than theirs
according to Mitchell. Two days out of
Mobile Mate Fraser ordered Mitchell aloft
TO stow the fore skysail in a squan 1t was
the first technical order the green Florid-
Ian had ever attempted TO execute. He
was compelled to obey and managed to
blunder through.
scrlbed as succession of horrors. Meat
and biscuit" said Mitchell yesterday,
were abominably wretched When COM
pounded into hash the parasites abound
ing in each were served up cooked.
Seaman Howard Dove, known as Cur
ly, couldn't eat the food. The poor lad
nearly starved to death. When Sailor
Charles Brostion was taken Ill they never
gave him any extra rations
Mate Fraser dragged BrOstiOn from
his bunk and kicked and beat him. Two
days later Broston was sent into the car
penter's shop to clean tools Again the
mate attacked Brostion. In four days af-
ter the first assault Brostion died and was
buried at sea. Mate Fraser and Second
Mate Ramars frequently attacked seamen
on no provocation.
"At Rio the British consul fined Capt.
Spicer EOS for shanghaiing Lemon and me.
The mate and second mate were sent in
irons aboard the British steamer Minnow
and thirteen of the George T. Hays crew
went as witnesses. The Minnow landed
us all at Southampton.
ERASER was tried for manslaughter and
Ramars for assault before the assizes.
Both were found guilty by the jury Fras-
er received a sentence of nine months and
Ramars one of two months.
THE George II, Hay is still in the harbor
of Rio de Janeiro and Capt. Spicer is with
her"
Three of NIitchells shipmates arrived
on the st. Paul with him. They are
Lemon, Curly and Richard Mitchell
They are all citizens and the American
consul sent them here.
