HOT TIME ON BOARD SHIP
sixty FrislSy Monkeys and n Kan
CARGO Make Things Lively
for the Crew.

The crew OF the German steamship Neu-
enfes, In New York from Calcutta, is still
discussing occurrences on board its ship as
the Neuenfels was blowing it's way through
the calm Mediterranean, off the coast Of
Sicily. three weeks ago. 1t was beautiful
moonlight night, at four bells of the star
board watch when Sam Jones, A b., and
six of his mates were stretched out on the
upper deck forward trying to keep cool
during the tropical night The Neuenfels
had on board, besides a miscellaneous
cargo, a huge crate in the forward hatch,
in which were confined sixty Simians, and,
on the upper deck Just aft of the forecastle
big box in which were slowed two vaIu-
able kangaroos.
As the seven sailors slept soundly on the
forward deck one of the monkeys, the
largest of the lot in No. hatch managed
to twist two OF the bars and crawl out Of
the cage He was followed by fifty other
monkeys of all shapes and sizes, and the
entire troupe crawled stealthiy up the for
ward companionway and onto the upper
deck. At the moment when the leader of
the Simian procession arrived at the head
Of the companionway one of the kangaroos
put his nose out of the box and found il
promptly twisted by the ape. In another
forced out one OF the boards OF the kanga-
roo box and out jumped the frightened Aus
tralian. Then the entire pack Of monkeys
landed on the lone kangaroo and fought the
long-tailed animal until. frightened and
mad with terror, the kangaroo managed 10
beat on all but two of it's assailants and
jumped backward. The jump landed the
kangaroo Immediately in the center Of the
sleeping Sam Jones. With a yell of terror
the seaman jumped up, the blood flowing
from his face where the sharp claws of the
kangaroo had gashed his face and neck
The awakening of the sailors held the at
tention Of the horde of monkeys long
enough to give the kangaroo time 10 jump
across the deck with the two original ape
antagonists still clinging to his back. As
the sailors We're about to catch the kanga-
roo the frightened animal gave one big
jump and landed over the port rail into the
Mediterranean. For hours after the disap-
pearance Of the kangaroo and the two mon
keys clinging to him. the sailors were busy
catching apes from out of the ships rig
ging. Captain Werefols and his men
gathered in every one of the fifty-eight re-
naming Simians and slowed them safely in
the cage below decks, where they remained
in peace until the Neuenfels tied up at its
South Brooklyn pier.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Henry Harris, negro, was ar
rested by Deputy Marshal Edgar
$. Wilson, Jr., at Brookhagen
last night and brought to Jackson
this morning to answer an indict-
ment for perjury brought against
him in the Aberdeen division 0f
the northern Federal court dis
trict CT Mississippi
The specific charge against Ilar-
ris alleges that on The 4th of A pril
last, at the court session in Aber-
leen he testified to.the effect that
he saw negro named Simon Raj
ford on an Illinois Central train
Just before the memorable wreck
it Kentwood, and that he after
wards saw Raiford's dead body
among the victims. On the
strengthen this testimony the par
ents Of Raiford recovered iudg-
ment against the Illinois Central,
and asfew weeks since the alleged
lead man turned up alive and
well.
Harris was arraigned before
Commissioner Mosely this morn
ing and in default of bail in the
1um of 81 900 was sent to Jail TO
await the next court term.
The Federal authorities do not
charge that there was coIlusion or
conspiracy between James and
Jerusha Raiford, the father and
mother of the alleged dead negro,
and Henry Harris to defraud the
railroad company, but on the con-
trary the officers think that the
old couple were imposed upon. by
Harris, and that they really be-
lieved their son was dead, but at
the same time were willing to pay
Harris something for remaining
in Aberdeen and giving testimony
before the Federal court.
This is only one of the several
frauds attempted on the railroad
company as a result of the Kent,
wood wreck, in which about thirty
negroes lost their lives, and
which caused a perfect epidemic
of damage suits in thu various
courts of the State. jackson Eve

Mrs. SOphrOnia Mason Dunn.
wife of J.. Nj. Dunn, of Fort
Worth, Texas, and daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Mason, OF
this county, died at her home at
Fort Worth, last Friday morning,
land was buried from the Union
Hall Baptist church, near this
city, on Sunday afternoon at 5
O'Clock. Her illness was very
brief and her demise came as d
great surprise both to relatives
Ind frinds. The services were con.
Quoted by Rev. X. I'll. Purser,
pastor Of the Brookhayen Baptist
church, assisted by Rev. j. Al.
scarborough, the undershepherd
of the Union Hall congregation.
There was large attendance Of
friends from town and county /;
and the numerous beautiful floral
offerings sent from the home Of
the deceased in the Lone Star
State, as we'll as from childhood
friends in this vicinity, attested
the esteem in which Mrs. Dunn
was held where she was known
best.
Mrs. Dunn was a young woman
whose excellence of character and
Christian worth developed with
the passing years. She seemed in
her zeal and integrity of purpose
toward all that was humane and
altruistic, to be advancing from
'iglory to glory" until her name
was known far and near in her
adopted home as one associated
always with every good word and
work. About her coffin at the
First Baptist church in Fort
Worth, of which she was a deyot-
ed member, there assembled on
the occasion of the last sad rites
there, half hundred waits and
orphans to take a farewell glance
of one who had been to them a
helper and a benefactor; and,
along the way, older ones whose
feet had long strayed from the
sanctuary the dead woman loved,
strove to hide their tears for one
who was a friend to the fallen and
an angel of light in dark places.
Mrs. Dunn built for herself a
monument of good deeds that will
outIast the crumbling dust of
Time, and inspire other hearts to
nobler action than cold marble
can ever do. Her influence will
live on, as her gentle spirit lives
through all eternity. Why such
a life should be brought to close
is one of the mysteries hid with
Christ in God.
For the broken hearted husband
and the deeply bereayed family,
to whom her sudden death came as
rude breaker on the shore, there
are no words of sympathy, how
ever sincere and strong, to allay
their newborn grief or make
more responsive to blessings left,
their impoverished hearts. Tie
charity of Time will teach its gen
tie lessons of submission and
patient endurance until deaths
cold shadows fee, and the glorious
hope of the resurrection morn
brings halo of light over the
grave of her who died, and in the
broken hearts of them that mourn.
There is no death. The stars go
down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heavens ieweled
crown
They shine foreVermore.
