The combination of firm money at

impaired further stimulus to liquidation
in the stock market and prices fell off
sharply all around, with specialties like

The bearishness against st. Paul con-
tinued, the argument being that If it

accruing from large increases in earn
ings in the shape snf'ancreased dividends,
the price Of the stock as too high. If

SUNK IN BOSTON HARB0R.


Boston, Jan. 12.-Captain Ober OF 'he
steamer City Of Gloucester which ar
rived here carly this morning from
Gloucester, reports that he sighted an
unknown two-masted schooner sub
merged on Devils Back Ledge in Broad
Sound. Boston harbor Captain Ober
said that the bow was the only part of
the hull which remained above water
and from il smoke was issuing, indicat-
ing that the vessel was probable loaded
with lime, which caught sire from the
action of the water. The foremast OF
the vessel is gone. but the main mast
remains standing with the mainsail set.
From this Captain ober judged that
the schooner had been hastily aband-
oned by thc crew.
Captain Swim of the tug William n.
Gallison, who also sighted the sunken
craft. stated that the vessed was un-
doubtedly a lime laden craft and that
she probably struck on the ledge dur
ing the night and filled. He says there
was 30 boat near the sunken vessel
and he thought the crew might have
rowed to the Brewsters, the nearest

Though Of Middle Age He Has no More
viii Power Than a Young Child.
SUBJECTED TO BRUTAL ToRMENTS.
Plumb Paid no Attention 10 Protests Of Neighbors
Against His Inhuman Treatment Of His
Half-wiiisd Farm Hand

Derby, Conn, Jan. 12.-Cnlike the
peasants of European countries, who
look upon a half-witted person as one
claiming special indulgence, and even
a certain superstitious veneration,
Farmer Henry Plumb has kept John
Wesley Parmelee in a condition of serf-
dom Tor nearly 40 years.
Parmelee has just been discharged
from the Bridgeport Hospital, after an
operation for an internal injury. caused
he says, by one of the many kicks
Plumb has bestowed upon him. AL
though a man of middle age, Parmelee
has no more than the intellect and will
power OF an ill-used child He covers
when Plumb's name is mentioned and
his mouth quivers If the subject OF his
return to the farm is broached. Yet he
fears the consequences or absenting
himself.
But this gray haired infant will not
be allowed 10 fall into the hands OF his
tyrant again. Attorney A. ID. Penney.
of the New Haven Probate Court, has
applied FOR the appointment of a con-
servator over him. This action has
been taken at the instance OF Flumh's
ne!Ehbors and of his aged mother. who
lives in New Haven.
According TO the neighbcrs. and to
such cew coherent revelations ~ can
be extracted frcm Plumb. the farmer
must have experienced savage pleas
urc i'm tormenting fellow mortal who
was unable To defend himself. ON no
other hypothesis can one explain the
statement that Parmelee was compelled
To eat with the dogs, if he would eat
at all. and that he was beaten and
kicked regularly on no provocat.on.
His condition bears out this story. Cor
his body is gridironed with the sears
of chpstisCments. old ana recent. Tne
neighbors testify that Parmelee's s
screams of pain and appeals FOR mercy
have often led them TO the Plumb farm
with protests against such cruelty. But
their protests have been of no more
avail than Parmelees screams.
IL was Plumb's practice, according To
these narratives, to trice up his victim
by the wrists and then beat and kick
him az leisure parmclee's wrecked mind
is attributed TO "a blow the farmer
struck him ON the head with an iron
chain when ne was only fifteen years

THROUGH PORTO RICO.
Father Sherman Reports on the Con.
dition Of the Island.
inhabitants Gentle, OoclIs and kindly.
DisordeTly Element Small.

Washington. Jan. l2.--Assistant Sec
retary Meiklejohn made public today
Father Thomas r.. Shermans very in
teresting and instructive report to Gen.
Brooke of his recent trip through the
island of Porto Rico.
Father sherman left san Juan Octo-,
ber 10 and visited Arecibo, Utuado and
Lares, and from thence south proceeded
10 Adjuntas alone and unarmed and
without Witnessing any disorder. Sub
sequently Father Sherman visited Goa
moa, Aibonito. Cayey Caguas, Aguas,
Buenas. Juncos and Humacao. All of
these towns he found in perfect peace
and fun of the sense of security. Late
i'm December Father Sherman says he
visited the towns OF Nieques. Fajardo
and Carolina with the same result.
As far as his observations went
Father sherman says that be found the
people of Porto Rico gentle. docile ana
kindly. and that the Spanards living
there rejoice with their Porto Rican
frie nds in The change of sovereignty.
The dsorderly element is a very small
fraction i'm the teeming population of
the island. There Is some timidity eX-
pressed on the part OF the property
holders, but this is largely due to the
paternal system to which they have
become accustomed. He says that o
libe raj public outlay on the roads would
add Immensely 10 the commerce and sc -.
curity OF the island
Father sherman says il is common
talk that the disorders Of the past few
months have been caused by bands
composed partly of prisoners released
by the Spahiards and of Spanish SOL
diers discharged and remaining on the
island. Having. he says, ridden about
the island alone. and, as rule un-
armed. for the past three months hav-
ing visited many priests and promi-
nent merchants. he is strongly i'm
pressed by the feet that profound re-
spect is felt for American authority and
utmost confidence i'm the courage of any
and all of our men.
