. Captain H. Nelson. the Danish mas
ter of the American schooner Nellie
Floyd. created quite a racket yesterday
morning at the custom house wharf
where the vessel is moored. On Friday
night the vessel was libeled by the
Coal. Cement and Supply Company, for
damage alleged to ave occurred TO
part OF a cargo of cement which the
ship recently brought into port for
them. Captain Nielsen refused to al
low Deputy United States Marshal q.
c. Knox to serve the papers and put
a Waterman on board. until a force
was sent over from the revenue cutter
Algonquin.
The ship was moved on Tuesday to
the custom house wharf where it would
be more convenient to properly guard
the ship under libel. Mr.. Jack Orr has
been doing duty on board as Waterman
for the deputy marshal and since the
first trouble the captain has been
drinking heavily. Yesterday morning
at $50 O'Clock Captain Nielsen came out
Of his cabin and excitedly demanded OF
the wathchman the papers giving him
authority to hold his vessel. After
some hot words. he was finally shown
the papers and he took possession Of
them and pushed the Waterman off the
deck onto the wharf. He then jumped
to the wharf and seized the Waterman
and dragged him a half block to the
foot of Princess street. using him very
roughly. He then dragged him back
to the ship. made him go aboard and
shut him UP in the ~fOrecastle where he
searched him and kicked him vigorous
Iy. The captain is a man of herculean
strength and the Waterman was phys
icallv unable to resist him. He acted
like a crazy man. and when Deputy
Marshal Knox arrived on the scene he
telephoned to police headquarters for
assistance. Policeman Leon George re
snonded and after considerable trouble
they arrested Captain Nielsen and he
was taken to the station house in the
patrol wagon He seemed TO he suffer-
ing with delirium tremens and tore
every stitch of his clothing eff. He was
so violent that nothing could be done
with him and he was hand cuffed and
was kept in irons all LAY He was
duieted down considerably last night.
The hearing in the libel ease was to
Rave been held yesterday before Unite
States Commissioner S. p. Collier but
owing to the CAPTAINS condition it did
not take place. The hearing will prob
abIv be had today

WHICH ID ucIlNC0
W Greek words meaning "a wat
cry humor' and Ito flow" But we know
that rheumatism arises from a poison
circulating in the blood.
1t will occur to the sensible person,
that to cure this disease demands the
use of means that will Danish all
poisonous material from the blood.
To accomplish this, it is only necessary
to use for a reasonable length of time
the remedy that has been curing rheu-
matism for half a century. That remedy
is DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic. 1t puriies
the blood; that is what it is for: 1t
cures because it is a foe to all blood i'm
nurities, and because it makes new, rich
blood. When the blood is thoroughly re-
newed and in its normal condition, rheu-
matism must necessarily disappear. Get
the genuine. Don't take any substitute.
There is no remedy that Is as good $
