CAPTIVES THREE YEARS

AMERICAN SAILORS IMPRISONED IN RUSSIAN MINES. PnnUhed for Encroaching on Fishing Grounds-"-Forced to Dig Coal for Two Years and Ton Months— Terrible Suffering and Death—Given Up for Dead—Final Release of the Victims. [Boston dispatch.] One of the greatest outrages ever inflicted upon American citizens by the decree of a foreign power has been the imprisonment of four New England sailors—one of them born in Boston —for two years and ten months in a Siberian coal mine. One American died, after starving upon rice soup and being eaten by vermin. This seems also to have been the. fate of the twelve or fifteen Japanese who made up the rest of the crew. The first member of this litt!« party to reach home after being mourned as dead is Capt Joseph W. Morris, of this city. He had made one successful (expedition to the islands in Behring Sea,' and then he tried it again. The second time he had an experience which has effectually cured him of poaching in Russian territory. The schoeher made a successful run to the islands, secured a full cargo of,skins, and was headed for Yokohama, when a Russian man-of-war overhauled her. The man-of-war proved to be the Rasabouach. It took the schooner in tow and reached Vladivostock without incident. The trial wa3 conducted in Russian. They told their ■ stories in English, and they were translated for the benefit of the court, but were ignorant of the testimony against them. They were taken to the town jail, a small stone building with cemented floor. Their cells were 16x£0 feet, walled with stone and lighted with slits in the wall with bars across. When they reached Nicolaski they learned that they were sentenced to work in the mines three years. Capt. Morris was the first to go down, and he did not again see the light of day for two years and ton months. When Morris came out he found F. C. Crocker, of Soarsport, Me., one of his crew, had just been released. Together they walked 150 miles lo Vladivostock, the Russians refusing them transportation. An American vessel' took them to Nagasaki, where the United States Consul provided them with clothing, and they took their first hot bath in three years.

PENNY POSTAGE.

A Hill Introduced for the Establishment of a Parcels Post. The annual report of the Postmaster General has piovoked considerable inquiry as to the necessity for reform in postal rates The Ideas advanced by different writers upon the subject as to the most desirable changes that could be made are generally promptod by personal, or business interests. Many believe that the public generally will take the view that the Postal Department was established for the safe and rapid transmission of letters of a business or personal nature, and for the prompt dissemination of news matter, and that all other undertakings of the Postal Department should be secondary to this. The public demand not only the rapid and safe transmission of letters and news matter, but that the rates on this legitimate class of mail matter shall be placed at the lowest figure consistent with its cost The report of the Postmaster General shows that the present 2 cent per ounce rate on letters yielded the Government during the last year, $38,000,000, and that the actual cost of carrying and delivering sueh letters for the same period was but $8,000,000, leaving a clear profit of $30,000,000. But the final balance shown in the report shows that, instead of there being a profit of $30*000,000, there was an actual deficiency or loss of $5,768,300. Inquiry into the causes of this deficiency diseases the fact' that it is due— First, to Carrying through the malls at rates largely under cost, tons of matter composed principally of advertising schemes and dodges of every character, and merchandise packages of every nature, overburdening the already overtaxed facilifciesof the mails to such an extent as to render the prompt transmission and delivery of HegiAmate mail matter almost an impossibility. Second, to the shipment through the mails 'Of Government freight that could and should be forwarded through other channels at much lower cost. In the face of this report a bill has been introduced in Congress for the establishment of a parcels post, which proposes still lower postal rates than are uow in effect on a class®! business that has been largely instrumental in reducing a profit of $30,000,000 to an actual loss of $5,768,300. It is mot of as much importance to the average citizen that the cost for the transmission of a package of merchandise or otker articles of like cliaracter through the mails shall be less than the government pays for transporting it, as that the rates of postage on regularly established newspapers and l>ersonal and business letters which are the province and property of all shall be placed within the reach of all. The revenue of the Postal Department, if properly applied, fully justifies the reduction of rates on letter postage, and it is undoubtedly*the duty of every voter to urge upon their Representatives in Congress to legislate for penny postage on letters and for the continuance of the present reasonable rates that are afforded the legitimate newspaper interests of the country. The surplus revenues of the Fostal Department should be used for.this purpose, and for the improvement of the facilities for local delivery of letters and newspapers, and for the extension of mail routes to regions of the country not already favored with acceptable pos al communications, and they should not be used to build up a branch of public service that is not required by the public, and which experience has demonstrated wi[l exhaust the revenues and absorb the facilities needed for other aftd more important branches of the postal service.— Chicago Eagle.

CANFIELD IS IN PRISON.

MERITED DOOM OF NELLIE GRIFFIN’S SLAYER. \ Flea'ling Guilty for Fear of Mob Vengia.ice, He Is Sent for Lite to the Jackson Fenitenttary—Speedy Justice Cor an Inhuman Wretch. [Charlotte (Mich.) dispatch.] Russell C. Canfield, the inhuman murderer of little Nellie Griffin, escaped the lynchers’ rope by pleading guilty and receiving the sentence of life imprisonment Less than twenty-four hours ago he was captured, and to-night he is in the State Penitentiary at Jackson. Justice has been swift in his case, but in the opinion of the enraged people here she has been far too merciful. Horrified and maddened by the fearful crime of the monster, the people demanded blood, and had Canfield been still in the jail hero this night would have been his last. It was his fear of mob vengeance that caused him to confess, and dread of the vigilantes’ rope-drove him to plead guilty and seek safety behind the solid walls of the State’s pri.-on. Sheriff Pollock saw the prisoner in his cell this morning and told him of the danger ho was in from the enraged people. He seemed to feel this by intuition, and seemed to be willing to do anything to save his miserable neck. When the Sheriff asked him if he desired to plead guilty as he had confessed he replied, “Yes, I’ll plead guilty to murdering the girl at anytime.” The prosecuting attorney was seen and Judge Hooker notified Early in tho afternoon Canfield, the Sheriff and the prosecutor slipped quietly into the court-room by a side door, and the charge was read to Canfield. His dull, sleepy eyes looked uneasily at tho windows as if fearing a bullet. He hardly understood the reading or the importance of the charge as it was read to him. When it was finished he was asked: “Do you plead guilty or not .guilty?” “I am guilty,” said the wretch, and he shivered as if with an ague chill. Judge Hooker then sentenced him to imprisonment for life, and at once the Sheriff hustled him on a Michigan Central train, and he was taken to the State’s prison to undergo his lifelong punishment, The story as told by the murderer and taken down is substantially this: Canfield went from Dimondale to Joncsville on Tuesday morning, Jan. 27, by rail, from the latter place going to Coldwater. After spending some time in this town, he visited the State School and had a talk with Superintendent Newkirk. He told the latter that he wanted to adopt a girl from the institution, saying he would provldo a good home for her and alleging, as was true, that he was possessed of a comfortable property. He gave his name to the Superintendent as G. Hendershott, and finally made arrangements to take Nellie Griffin with him to his alleged home. In coippany with the girl he returned to Jonesville and thence to Dimondale. After getting off the train at the latter place Canfield, with his victim, took the road leading to Mr. Harrison’s farm. Before reaching it he struck off the traveled highway, going through several tracts of wood until he, with his charge, reached the piece of timber by tho river where the body was found. They talked for a few moments and Nellie manifested great distress of mind and wept bitterly, begging Canfield to take her back to the institution at Coldwater. Turning a deaf ear to the girl’s pleadings, Canfield, struck her down and choked her to death. Ho then denuded her body of clothing, and, taking tho corpse in his arms, threw it headlong into the river. The clothes he took to Harrison’s farm and hid them under the floor of the cow stab!©. Canfield maintained stubbornly to the last that he had not abused his victim. When Canfield had signed this confession of his guilt he was at once locked up and a guard placed over him. Sheriff Pollock, after taking precautions to guard the jail in case of an attack, started for Harrison’s farm, near Dimondalc, to search for the girl's clothes. Under the floor of tho cow stable on Mr. Harrison’s farm the clothes were found wrapped in a bund-la To the people who read Canfield s confession, his admissions concerning the crime seem incredible. Very naturally the reader would picture him to be a bloodthirsty-looking villain, with brutality stamped on every feature, but this is not tho case. He is a mild-man-nered, inoffensive-looking man of slender build, and rather below the average height. He says that he is 55 years old, and his appearance indicates this to be the truth. He has regular features, a full beard, mild, honest-looking blue eyes, and is as far from looking the villain 'he aeknowiodgesihimself u be as can be imagined. .The Harrison family, for whom he drove a milk wagon daily to Lansing, refused to believe him guilty until his own confession forced them to admit it They state that he was a quiet unobtrusive man who never had much to say and did his work well. He is understood to be fairly well fixed, and has an income from a small tarm that he rents, preferring to drive a milk wagon for Mr. Harrison rather than conduct his own farm and do his own cooking and housework. The other convicts in the penitentiary, say they will knock him on the head when he gets to work. A suggestion has been made that oil might with advantage be used at the most exposed lighthouses to reduce the force of the waves. It is thought that this end might be attained by placing, say, a couple of small steel buovs in the most exposed direction at a distance from the lighthouse of some 150 feet. There should be a pulley on the buoy and a slight rope, so that the bag or appliance for distributing the oil could be hanled.in when required. The method is most simple, and can be tested" without great expense. The English papers report among the “overdue” vessels a brig which sailed from Liverpool for New Orleans, “in a leaky condition, overloaded, and three men short of her complement. * If there is any good reason why the brig should not be at the bottom of the lantic we should like © hear it. Never speak ill of anybody; yon can do just as much execution with a shrug )f the shoulders or a significant look. Abe woman born contrary, or is it aojnired?

HORROR UNDERGROUND

WATER ENDS THE CAREER OF eighteen MINERS. Six Hundred Feet Underground Thev Are O rer whelmed by a Deluxe In Five Minute*—Only a Few Escape—Distressing Scenes Reported. [Hazleton. Pa., dispatch.] Eighteen men in watery graves mark the result of the most awful mine horror that has ever occurred in this region. Jeansville, the mining village of J. C. Hayden & Co., two miles across the ,-aountafns from this place, is the scene of the disaster which has resulted fn such loss of life and brought desolation and anguish jto so many homes. The lost are: Lawrence Reed, married, eight children. James Griffiths, married, one child., Edward Gallagher, married, fwo children. James Ward, married, eight children. Harry Bull, married, seven children. Joseph Matskowitcli, married, four children. Barney McCloskoy, single. Patrick Kelly, single. Jake Wiasto, single. Mike Smith, Hungarian. John Bor no. Tom Glik, married, one child. Tom Tomaslcaskay, married, three children. Joe Astro, single. Bosco Frinko, single. Thomas Groko, single. John Boyle, single. Sainuol Porter, single. At 11 o’clock this morning, while Charles Boyle and Patrick Coll, of Leviston, were engaged in drilling a hole in their chamber in the lower lift of No. 1 slope, they broke into old No. 8 slope, that has been idle for five years and had been flooded to the mouth with water. William Brislin, a driveb, was driving at the bottom of the slope when be felt the wind coming and cried out: “Boys, for God’s sake, run for your lives or we will all be drowned. ” In a moment the force of water came and Brislin tarely escaped with feis life. Besides him six others —Henry Gibbon, John Neems, John Boyle, Charles Boyle, William Coyle, doortender, and Patrick Coll —were saved. Tho water rose rapidly, and before any attempt could be made to rescue the rest of the workmen the slope, which is 624 feet deep, was filled to the mouth, and the eighteen men were buried in watery graves. The news of the disaster created the wildest excitement, and the mouth of the slope was soon thronged with people, frantic in their efforts to obtain Information of the Inmates of the mine. When ail tho men who escaped reached the surface, and it was known who the lost were, the excitement increased, and in less than half an hour hundreds of men, women, and children gathered around the slope, and the terrible scenes of anguish that ensued cannot be depicted. Wives Imploring piteously of the miners standing by, who knew only too well, the fatal result, to save their husbands from tho terrors of a watery grave; little children crying for the papa who would never return; relatives and friends wringing their hands in sorrow and distress, and appealing to a merciful providence to save all, when within each breast was tho certain feeling that their prayers would be unanswered. A pump was got in working order in a short time, and every stroke was watched anxiously by the onlookers, who seemed to count tho throbs of the mighty engine as it forced the of black and sulphurous water from the mouths of Hie huge column pipes at the entrance of the slope. A large duplex Cameron pump was also at work by 7 p. m., and every minute it takes 1,500 gallons from the slope where the men are entombed. Hayden & Co. will pump tho water out as rapidly as machinery p'aced in position can do the work. How long it will take is a question, since no definite idea of the volume of water can be ascertained. Mr. Brislin, one of the escaped miners at the bottom of the slope, said: “I was waiting at the bottom of the slope for a trip to come out. Snddenly I heard a loud noise and I thought it was the trip. Then a fearful blast of wind came add knocked me down tho gangway. I cried out to J&mea» Griffiths. Then tho wind blew his light out as suddenly as it did mine. I tried to run for the slope, but stumbled and foil. Then John Boyle and John Neems came running out. Neems’ lamp was burning and through the aid of Neems’ light we got to the slope. The water came pouring after us as we ran. We got to the slope then the light went out. We clambered up as fast as we could, and the water came rushing after us, rising very quickly. In five minutes the water rose 208 yards to the mouth of the slope, the pitch of which is 83 degrees. ” The civil engineer in charge of the mines was a man from Pottsville, LeFevre Many theories are advanced as to the cause of the disaster. Some charge it to neglect to notify the workmen of the dangerous proximity of the water. The slope where the accident occurred is a new slope which was sunk from the bottom of a worked-out slope. The latter has been flooded for at least sixteen months, and only a few of tho old miners knew of the presence of that great body of water, and many a time had the rema.rk been made that if the lower gangway workings were driven up too near a dreadful accident would be the result. None of the workmen had any idea that the workings were driven as near to the water as they wera

A Chemical Feat.

A chemist has lately performed a feat of no common order. The explosion and fire at Antwerp reduced to a charred mass a bundle®! one thousand florins of Austrian obligations. Without*presentation in some identifiable form there could be no payment. The imperiled obligations were given to a chemist, and he succeeded in separating the whole'of them and finding out the numbers, and upon his report the money has been /paid. Capitalists owe innumerable obligations to science.

The Largest Hooking Stone.

Buenos Ayres appears to have the largest “rocking stone” on record. It is situated on the slope of the mountain of Tandil, In the southern part of the province, and measures ninety feet long by eighteen feet broad, and twenty-four feet high. Its bulk is 5,000 cubic feet, and it weighs at least twenty-five tons. Nevertheless, it Is so touchily poised that a sfngle person can set it rocking. When the wind blows from the southeast the stone which is pyramidal Jn fornr, sways to and fro on its foundation like tba branches of a tree.

Roman Fever.

Rr.mo, the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, and center around which the Homan Catholic Church revo ves, has the character, not undeserved, of being the most unhealthy of the capitals of Europe. Munich has always tho specter of typhoid fever haunting it, and Stuttgart can by no means show a clean, bill of -health; but in Romo not pnly does fever of one sort or other riot in tho summer, but it also broods in the winter. No sooner does the sun begin to gain power, the floyvers to open and the birds to sing, than those not inured to malaria pack their portmanteaus and depart. Too often visitors to Rome in the winter and early spring carry away with them, if not prostrated on the spot, tho germs of typhoid, and as all the world goes to Home, tho curiosity shop of the world, it is well that the causes of the insalubrity of the city should be well understood, in order that, as far as possible, precautions should be taken against the fever. To remedy the evil lies not in their hands, but in those of the municipality, which is eagerly laboring to make Rome so hideous as to deter travelors from the desire of revis.ting it, and as yet has not done sufficient in the right direction to correct the deadly evil.

To Be Robbed of Health

By a pestilential climate, by a vocation entailing constant exposure, physical overwork, or sedentary drudgery at the desk is a hard lot. Yet many persons originally possessed of a fair constitution suffer this deprivation before the meridian of life is paßßed. To any and all subject to conditions inimical to health, no purer or more agreeable preservative of the greatest earthly blessings can be recommended than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which inures the system to climatic chauges, physical fatigue, and mental exhaustion. It eradicates dyspepsia, tho bano of sedentary brain workers, preserves and restores regularity of the bowels and liver, when disordered from any cause, annihilates fever and ague and prevents it, checkß the growth of a tendency to rheumatism and gout, and neutralizes the danger to be apprehended from oauses productive of kidney, bladdor, and uterine ailments. To be convinced of the truth of these slatomeuts, it is only necessary to give this sterling preparation an impartial trial.

Where They Pinched.

There arc a good many pooplo who prefer old things to new things, sometimes. perhaps, without as good reason for the preference as an old beggar once showed in the matter of shoes. This man called' at the house of a Indy and begged for a pair of shoes. Sho gave him a nearly new pair of her husband’s, which he had laid aside for some reason. A day or two afterward tho beggar returned. “Mum,” he said, “can’t you give me a pair of shoes—somo old ragged ones!” “But, ” said the lady, “I have just given you an entirely new pair; you have them on now. ” “Yes’m,” ho said; “but there’s the trouble. They are so now, you see, that they hurt my business."
