MATE MURDERED
CAPTAIN AND WIFE
Frightful Tragedy of the Sea Revealed
at Santa Cruz--A Sailor Gave
It Away.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 12.-Captain Nc
Carthy of the British steamer Trunkby,
which arrived to-day from Santa Cruz,
Teneriffe. reports that a few days be-
fore his arrival at Santa Cruz the Bra
lillian bark Julienna Schooner, from
Ito Janeiro for Genoa Italy, put In for
provisions. The health authorities
asked the master why there were but
ID persons on board when the articles
named II as leaving Rio Janeiro. The
captain said the others had died from
yellow fever. When the vessel was re-
leased from quarantine and provision
ed, one OF the crew stated to one of the
customs guards that the man in charge
was not the master of the ship, but the
mate, and that the mate had murdered
the captain and his wife on the voyage.
The authorities sent five boat crews
from a small Spanish man-of-war in the
harbor to bring the mate and crew
ashore. The mate. who was a Swede,
had suspected something and he armed
whole of the five boat crews of the
Spanish man-of-war to take him. Dur
ing the firing the crew jumped over
board and were rescued by the war
ships boats. In their excitement the
Spaniards set fire to the bark, but as
soon as they found the Swede dead
they extinguished the fire. The bark
had previously hailed from Oporto,
Portugal, and it's name had been paint
ed out. The murderer had changed the
name and claimed Brazil as the vessel S
nation.

Rash Deed of Sailor on a Lumber

Schooner.
st. Johns, N. B.. Nov IA murder at
sea on the schooner J. " Vandusen of
New York was made known to-day by the
receipt of a message to the owners
agent In this city. 1t stated that Cap
tain Batsley of this city had been stab
bed by sailor named Maxwell He fell
overheard and died in the ships boat
which had put off the rescue him. AS
for the schooner, 1T had disappeared at
darkness under conditions which made
IL seem possible that the murderer and
the steward, the only men left on board
had gotten the schooner under way and
headed in toward the Nova Scotia coast
The schooner left this port lumber-laden
for New York late yesterday afternoon.
The tragedy was evidently enacted in the
Bay of Fundy a few hours after leaving
land.
Maxwell for several voyages sailed
with Captain Basley as his mate.
The schooner was finally located at
Beaver Harbor to-day, where 1t had
been landed under charge of the cook,
Frank Snowden. Snowden said Captain
Baisley and Sailor Maxwell had a. fight
about dark last night, during which The
captain had been knocked overheard.
The mate and another sailor imme-
diately took the boat and rowed away
in search of Captain Baisley Their
boat, the cook said, disappeared, and he
took the wheel of the schooner. Later
it was learned the Van Dusen boat, with
the mate and sailor, had arrived at
Point Lepreaux with the body of Cap

WILL Be A NOSE FINISH.
Each Side Still Claims Election
in Kentucky.
RETURNS FAVOR TAYLOR
The Result Depends Upon the Decision
in the Contests-Gross Irregulari-
ties Are Charged - Can
vass Is Very Slow.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 12.--Tle second
week of uncertainty regarding the re-
suit OF the balloting for governor for
Kentucky begins with little prospect OF
immediate relief. The official count has
been in progress two days and official
returns from a large majority of the
119 counties have narrowed the contest
down to a nose finish. Each side claims
the election of it's ticket, but the esti-
mated plurality of either does not ex-
coed 5000. While the returns so far re-
ceived favor Taylor, the result of the
count may hinge on the decision given
by the election commissioners in sew
eral places where contests have begun
on the ground of alleged Irregularities.
One of these contests, that in Nelson
county, has been decided adversely to
the republicans. 1t involves 1,198 votes
nearly as many as either side claims
as its plurality.
The democrats will contest the votes
of some Of the mountain counties,
which return large republican plurali-
ties. The most important county in
volved is Knox, which gave Taylor
1898 plurality. There are also contests
in three precincts in Louisville which
went republican.
In any event it is difficult to see how
bitter contest before the legislature
and the courts can be avoided All the
contests now being considered by the
county election officers will have to be
argued before the state board of COM
missioners, which must meet at Frank
fort within a month. Both sides are
preparing for this with all the legal
talent at their command. Meanwhile,
nxyn hi Il N ..-
which will consume a large portion of
the week. In Jefferson county (Lou.s-
ville) the work is especially slow. Only
one ward has been completed in two
days work.
The Commercial tomorrow will print
statement from Chairman Long Of
the republican state campaign commit
tee claiming a plurality of sill for
Taylor. These figures are based on the
official returns of ITO county boards
upon returns signed by the precinct
election officers in eight counties in
which the county boards have not fur
nished tabulation.
In the eight counties not yet canvas
ed pluralities are shown amounting to
6,424 for Taylor and 1.Ss3 for Goebel.
The committee claims that these re-
turns have been certified to by the
precinct election officers and need only
to be tabulated. In the remaining
county, Lewis. there is a plurality of
704 for Taylor, but the election Off
GERS boldly refuse to obey the law by
certifying to their returns. ~
The Courier-Journal will print a
statement from Mr.. Goebel at Frank
fort declaring there is no doubt of HIS
election, but gives no figures. the an
nouncemeht being made that no re-
turns have been received since last
hight, when Goebel's plurality was fig
ured at 1855.
