MODERN PIRACY.
A German Vessel Captured by Mara
caibO Sea Robbers.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Most people would laugh or look wise
when one suggested piracy in these latter
days of the nineteenth century, but this
fact is attested by Consul Plumacher, at
Maracaibo. He states that on June 10
the German bark Hedwig left the port of
Maracaibo for Mexico. Later in the same
day she encountered heavy squalls, and,
as she was in ballast, drifted toward the
Goajira coast and came on the shoals of
the old entrance to Maracaibo. the Pal
jana, about twelve miles from Fort San
Carlos. The'next day she was surround
ed by Indians, under charge of Rudecindo
Gonzales, a half-breed, known as Ca
chimbo"
The captain of the Hedwig was not all
lowed to go to the fort for assistance,
but was driven, together with his crew,
out of the vessel by force. They walked
to the town Of Sinamaica, a few miles
from Parjana, and hired a boat to convey
them to Maracaibo, where they made
their declaration before the German con-
sui.
The consul states that this is, to his
personal knowledge, the fourth case of
piracy committed on large foreign sail
ing vessels close to Fort San Carlos. None
of the vessels had a gun or rifle on board.
Had the master of the Hedwig been pro-
vided with a signal gun or firearms, he
could have easily kept his vessel until
relief was sent from Fort San Carlos,
the authorities In charge of which had
not the slightest knowledge of what was
occurring close to them.
The consul believes that 1t would be
prudent for sailing VESSELS bound for this
port to be provided with breech-loading
rifles and ammunition, as well as with
signal gun. From the deck of a vessel,
protected by the woodwork of the railing
a crew should be able to withstand as
saults until assistance could be rendered.
1t should be noted that sailing vessels
carrying arms should manifest the same
and have them duly sworn before the
Venezuelan consul; otherwise, they will
be considered contraband by the custom
house authorities and conhscated the
vessel will also be subject to a heavy fine.

An extract introducing the hero:
Eight generations OF Du Blgnons had
been born In Fancy Bluff and laid to rest
in that shadowed, moss-hung plot at the
right of the old mansion, since the first
Guy Du Bignon, refugee Huguenot, had
set foot in the new world.
Arthur Du Bignon seven genera tons
removed from the noble refugee, lived in
the ancestral home. He represented
Georgia in Congress for many years
When the severance of former national
ties came he went out of the union, though
sadly, with his state. When the war was

still at Fancy Bluff. and tried hard 70

R BEASTS.
III the Allegations Are True. They De-
serve the Whipping Post.

serve the whipping Post.
Three brutes were arrested by the DO
lice yesterday, for whom the whipping
post would be too good, IL the ~ailega-
lions made against them are true.
James Ayers, a miner, was arrested
on a warrant charging him with assault
and battery. The warrant was issued
from the police court on complaint of
Lena Mechanics, a waitress in a South
Main street restaurant, who told a story
or shocking depravity on the part Of her
parents. The girl said she had been
Ayers mistress for two years, with the
consent of her mother and stepfather.
Some tim ago Ayers went to British
Columbia and returned about a week
ago. On his arrival he came TO her
apartments at No. l Wyoming alley and
proposed resuming their old relations.
She had made up her mind to lead a
respectable life and ordered hin away.
Ayers then demanded the return of a
dress he had given her and when she
objected he assaulted her and
broke open her runk. Miss Me
Daniels summoned the police and
Ayers was arrested. but as she was
ignorant of court proceedings she did not
appear TO testify against him and he
was discharged. She said she desired
10 nave him prosecuted and this morn
ing she would ppe against him. A
warrant was accordingly issued and
Ayers was rearrested.
Henry Pool was arrested on suspicion
OF having had improper relations with
a l~2-year-old girl named Malin Rodgers.
Pool lives in a cabin in East Mercury
street. For some time the neighbors
had suspected that everything that went
on at his cabin was not proper, and
when the child was seen to enter his
cabin yesterday and remain a long time
three Of the neighbors, Steve Shabon
and his wife and a Mrs. Thebold. went
to investigate. They caught Pool in bed
with the girl and, summoning an officer.
had him arrested. To make POOLS
crime the more abominable, the child is
weak-minded and undoubtedly did not
know what she was being led into. Pool
was taken TO the county fail. The child
will be examined and IL IL Is found she
has been violated it will go hard with
Pool.
Anothe Of that class of iends. one
of whom II doubtless was who was re-
sponsible for the murder Of Ethel Gill, |
was arrested yesterday afternoon. He
gave the name Of Billy Mclaughlin and
was accused OF exposing himself to little
girls. William O'Leary, living at the
corner OF Platinum street and Ohio ave
caught the beast in the act Of ex-
posing himself TO his little sisters, aged
10 and IL years. and snaked him down
the street tn n met an officer. 10 whom
he delivered the fellow and had him
taken to jail.

The insurance situation here Is very

with being unjust and arbitrary. The
agents and officers of the association
here resent this charge and point GU.
that RATES here have been steadily re-

tary of the association. at Atlanta OIL,
the subject OF the rc-rating of Norfolk
on first class basis On it he said
Mr.. II. Henry Jones, chairman of the
Councils Fire Committee, IL endcavor-
Ing to have the city improve the fire
department so that Norfolk may be en-
titled to re-rat:ng. II claims to have
shout brought them to the point where
they are ready to make all improve
ments desired by the association. which
will entitlc them to a re-ratng, with the
exception OF n reduction of the license
tax OF $500. This, ii is next to impossi-
bic to accomplish, = the members OF
the Council are not favorable TO Il re-
duction of the license. Mr. Jones favors
charge being made TO cover the tax.
but prefers that it Should he included
i'll the basis rate. He does not care to
have the question of tax discussed and
asks that we make but one proposition

James S. AIiddleton's letter of April,
1896.
''ln regard to the basis I would sug-
gest that the city he rated on 4 nat

please Write direct To me, r. Henry

Mr.. Flcmmrg replied that the matter
would be laid before The Executive
Committee of the Southeastern Tariff
Association. The meeting of the COM
mttcc was held last Thursday and Mr.
Williams wired the secretary after the
Cotton Exchanges action became
known, as follows:
"If committee took any action las;
week regarding revision Norfolk rate
on fiftyfivc cent basis, please wire
Immediately, stating same. Very i'm

To this wire the following reply was
received Monday nights.
''Cnmmittcc approves your recon-

This would seem 10 make the conclus-
ion positive, that if the city will estab-
lish the West End Engine house the
insurance people will at once re-rate the
city as first class.
