MISMANAGED HIS YESSEL

Captain of the Ill-Fated Utopia Arrested by the Gibraltar Authorities, Horrible Discover of Divers Xnmlerof Lives Lost Now Placed at 562 Burial of Marines Livelj Pugilistic Encounter. THE UTOriA DISASTER. Captain of tha Ill-Fated Steamer Arrested Loss of Life Now Put at 562. Gibraltar, March 19. Capt McKeagne, of the ill-fated steamer Utopia, has been arrested for wrongful acts, improper conduct, negligence and mismanagement. He was released on bail. The accounts given by divers who are engaged in the work on the wrecked steamer, of the terrible sights which they have witnessed on the vessel, still further increase the appalling character of the catastrophe. These men, in describing the terrible scene, say that they found the hatches and the char-room of .the Utopia closely packed with the bodies of the unfortunate passengers who had become wedged into an almost solid mass in their frautio rush to reach the decks of the steamer after she had crashed into the sharp ram of the iron-clad. The positions in which the bodies were found show that tho poor people made a terrible struggle for life and that desperate attempts were made to escape from the doomed vessel as the sea came rnshing in through the rent in her side. Owing to a lack of accommodations in the naval hospital here, many of the crew and emigrant who were rescued have been compelled to camp on the glacis. The military are closely patrolling theflhore for the purpose of rescuing any more of the bodies that may be washed in by the waves. The inhabitants of this place who, from the shore, witneastd the horrifying scene of hundreds of persons being swallowed up in the raging waters of the bay, are unstinted in their praise of the great gallantry displayed by the men of the British squadron anchored here, who boldly hurried to the rescue of the endangered passengers without stopping to consider the risk they ran in launching thoir small boats on an angry sea and in the teeth of a neavy gale. Much praise is also bestowed on the men of the yacht Kesolute. who also manned a boat and succeeded in saving sixteen persons who, but for this brave and timely assistance, would soon have given up the struggle and sunk to the bottom. The revised official count of the lost and saved passengers and crew of the ill-fated Utopia shows that there were 880 souls on board the steamer when she ran into the Anson. Of this number the saved include LJ0 steerage, two saloon, passengers, three Italian interpreters and twenty-three of the crew, all the latter being Englishmen or men who had shipped at English ports. The funeral of the two men-of-war men James Cotton, seaman, and George Hales, stoker who were drowned from the steam launoh of the Immortalite on Tuesday night while engaged in the work of rescuing tho endangered passengers of the Utopia, took place to-day. The bands of all the war-ships forming the British squadron now at anchor at Gibraltar played the dead inarch in the funeral procession. The otlicers of the Immortalite, headed by her commander, Cap Sir Willlam Wiseman, delegations from the crews of the other British iron-clads and lroin the Swedish man-of-war Freya, and a representation from the garrison of Gibraltar, were present atthe funeral ceremonies. All the iron-clads tired salutes as the bodies were lowered into the graves in the government cemetery here, and all the stores in Gibraltar were closed as a mark of sympathy with the gallant blue jackets. The coftins were covered with wreaths of flowers. . 1 The inquiry into the circumstance of the Utopia disaster was begun to-day. Surgeon Seller, of the ill-fated steamer, said that the voyage had been uneventful before the disaster. Shortly after passing Europa Point, at 6 o'clock in the evening, he heard a passenger exclaim, "We are running into a man-of-war." While the vessel was sinking Surgeon Seller undressed himself, iumped overboard and was soon rescued, lie heard the captain and mate ordering the boats lowered after the collision. He had implicit confidence in their captain. VICIOUS PKIZE-FIGHT. Details of the Goddard -Chora ski "31111" In Which th Lattar Wm Ilested. San Francisco, March 19. Details of the Goddard-Choynski fight, received by steamer Mariposa, lrom Sydney, to-day, indicate it to have been one of the most desperate affairs of the kind on record. Both men entered the ring in splendid condition, but Goddard weighed nearly thirty pounds more than Choynski. It was a hurricane fight from the start. Toward the end of the first round Choynski got in ft terrible blow on Goddard's Jaw, cutting him to the bone and knocking him clean off his feet. He took his ten seconds and was carried to his corner, the call of time saving him from being ' knocked out In the second round the men went at it, hammer and tongs. They were soon both staggering with weakness, so terrible had been the pace. Choynski, at the end of the round, was bleeding from the mouth and had a lump over his left eye. The third round was a furious one. Goddard twico forced Choynski to the boards by his superior weight The American nearly knocked the Australian out in the latter part of the round. Both were utterly powerless before the end of the round, and were covered with blood from head to foot. Choynski's legs began to give way in the fourth round, and Goddard drove him all around the ring leaning on the ropes all the way. At last Chovuski foil to the lloor limp, and Goddard stood glaring at him. Sauting painfully, his knees rocking oner him. Choynski, after rive seconds, got up, and, as thoy staggered toward each other, the round ended, aad the men were almost carried to their corners. After about thirty seconds had ticked away Choynski's second threw up the sponge. Goddard's face was almost unrecognizable. Choynski's objective point being Goddard's head, while Goddard rained most of his blows on Choynski's wind and over his heart. At the conclusion of the ncht Goddard made a speech, in whioh he attributed his victory to the fact that he was the heaviest man. Tho Sydnev Referee (newspaper) commenting on the fight, said: "It was a grim slaughter, a terrible fight all the journey and the better man won. Choynski was whipped, but he proved to be a man of whom America may well feel proud." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

NEW ORLEANS LYNCHING

Grand Jury Busily Encaged in Investigating the Alleged Bribery of Jurors. Sheriff Villere's Report on the Prison Massacre Why lie Ww Not Present in Person Italians Said to Be Preparing for War. New (Jrleans, March 19. Thomas C. Collins was before the grand jury to-day to testify in the investigation now being made concerning tho bribery of the tales jurors in the Hennessy case. Collins, though employed in the office of private detective O'Malley, was, in fact, an officer of the secret service, duly commissioned by Mayor Shakspsare. the legal head of the police of New Orleans. Interesting, if not startling, developments are expected. Another case, somewhat similar to the Collins job, was attempted, but, from some unknown cause, went amiss. A detective was brought from Italy, arrested upon a charge of passing counterfeit money and sent to the parish prison. Being an Italian, he was put in the same section with the other Italian prisoners, but the assassins became distrustful of the newcomer, and he was removed by the prison authorities to another cell, and so this scheme to get inside information fell through. Sheriff Villere, in his report to the court concerning the occurrences at the parish prison last Saturday, after giving a list' of the Italian prisoners in his custodysays: "I had received no intimation of any intention to disturb mo in the custody of the prisoners in my charge. I remained in the prison in person on Friday, March 18, 1891, until 9 o'clock P. M. Everything was quiet and air prisoners secured. On Saturday morning, March 14, about 8:30 o'clock a. M., I noticed in the morning papers a call for a mass-meeting at Clay statue for that morning at 10 o'clock. I noticed from the editorials of the morning papers, which I had road, that there was such admonition and suggestions as led me to believe that the assemblage would not do more than pass resolutions or suggest some public grievance and formulate at some future time some action which I believed vould' be in violation of law. J at once went to the prison, instructed my officers to take every precaution, and as 1 had but fourteen men on duty, drove to the court building. I observed on my way .from the prison to the court that there was much excitement, and I reported at once to Jndge Baker. In case of attack I knew my force was not sufficient to repel a crowd, and I called upon the chief of police to aid my deputies. He informed me that he required an order from the Mayor. "While I weni in quest of the Mayor I learned the chief of police had sent to the prison a force oi ten or twelve men under command of Captain Collier. I was unable to find the Mayor. I then called on the Attorney-general. This was about 10:80 o'clock. With that officer I met the Governor. His instructions were to formally demand from the Mayor assistance, and to report the result to him. While at the Mayor's office, with the Attorney-general, and while telephoning for the Mayor wnere I was informed he was, a telegraph message was received announcing tho crowd had broken into the jail and killed certain prisoners. I immediately went with the Attorney-general and drove down to the prison. I annex, a report from the deputy in charge of the prison, together with the report of the coroner. The attack was sudden, unexpected, and in great force." The report of Mr. Villere's deputy, to which he refers, substantially confirms the newspaper reports of what happened at the prison. The street duel last night between Capt. Arthur Dunn and Frank Waters, in which the latter was killed and the former severely wounded, was the general topic of conversation l.-day. Waters was under the influence of linuor when the shootinir oecurred. Had he been eober the unfortnnaie anair would not, m an proDaDiuty, have happened. Frank Waters was thirtysix years of age and a native of this city, in which he lived continuously, with hut few brief interruptions. Waters was married two years ago to Miss Douglass, who survives him. Arthur Dunn is forty-three years of age. He is married and has a family of six children, five boys and one gitl. The eldest is about sixteen years old. Secret Instructions to th Italian Navy, Chicago, March 19. A private cablegram from a well-informed acting officer of the Italian navy, received by l'ltalia, and dated at Spezzia, where the chief navy-yard of Italy is located, says: "The current rumors are that secret instructions have been dispatched from Home to the admiral commanding the squadron of the Mediterranean at this port, in view of the recent turn of affairs in America. Another dispatch from a private source from Kome, just received here, says that a secret session was held between the Minister of Marine and the chiefs of the general stall of the Italian admiralty." The Italian journalists of Chicago feel confident that the friends of Francesco Crispi, the Premier who recently fell from power, will take advantage of the apparent apathy of Marquis Di Kudini, the present Prime Minister, to reinstate Signor Crispi. The consuls of Italy in the various cities of the Union are giving publication to the circular note addressed to them by Huron Laverio Fava. the Italian envoy extraoidinary, in which he says to his countrymen: "Calm, brothers. The home government will act. Drilling and Preparing for War. Wheeling, W. Va., March 19.

They are also receiving guns, It Is said that they are organized on account of an order issued from Chicago. The people in the vicinity are considerably alarmed over the matter. POWDER-MILL DESTROYED. Works at Braodonville, Pa., Blown Up and Two Men Fatally Injured. Mahonoy City, Pa., Maroh 19. The Brandonville powder-mill caught tiro and blew np this evening, fatally injuring two men and seriously injuring a third. The victims are Cyrus Faust, who was burned in a horrible manner, the llesh hanging in shreds from his body. Jeremiah Zimmerman received injuries from which he cannot rocover. Elias Lindermuth was also badly burned, and is in a critical condition. The men were blown thirty feet in the air, with a cloud of dust and smoke. The cause of the accident was due to a pebble getting under the crusher while the men were making powder, the friction of the stone coming in coutact with the heavy iron crusher causing the powder to ignite. The dryinghouse was burned to the ground, but the magazine escaped. The men were carried to their homes, but there is no hope for the recovery of Zimmerman and Faust, and the life of Lindermuth hangs on a thread. Dallot-lSos Stutters Acquitted. Iliri EN A, Ark., March 19. In the case of the United States against L. W.

KEGllO GUAVK-VAltDS IX GEORGIA. A Carious Medley of Grief and Comedy Trinket-Laden Mounds. Fort Valley Letter In Atlanta C.sstltntlon. Very few white people have ever visited or oven noticed a wall-cared-fcr negro grave-yard, as thev are few and far between in the former slave-holding States. In ante-bellum times, when a likely negro died that was worth, perhaps, to bin owner $1,000 or more, his remains were put in a colli n, usually made by the plantation carpenters, and carted away in a two-horse wagon drawn by mules, or else in a twowheeled ox-cart, the latter being neually the case in "busy plow-time." and buried in some isolated, unfertile epot on his mas ter's vast landed estate., His co-slaves I ea i wouia ie anowea 10 at ten a ana mourn to their entire satisfaction. The burial ceremonies over, his grave was never given any more astention. In rambles over old plantations, the present day, one frequently comes upon one of these befere-the-war negro burying grounds, that has not received the remains of any one since emancipation: and they are, indeed, the most uninviting and desolate places to be found. After the nearoes were given their freedom their imitative propensities began to develop wonderfully in many things, but in tho particular of burying their dead they first began to imitate their former owners as much as their finances would allow. Negroes of all sexes and ages from the surrounding country would assemblo at the house of the deceased, and when the funeral cortege started it was composed of a very large number of panic-stricken blacks, mourning and bewailing the departure of the spirit of one of their dearest Iritndsand brothers in all the societies and churches. The isolated negro grave-yards were given the go-by when there was one in the nearest town with free lots for colored people. Fort Valley is no exception to this rule, and, like nearly all small towns, has a free negro burying-ground, where negroes from the country are allowed all the space needed for this solemn necessity. Indeed, a well-kept negro grave-yard in genuine negro style is a curiosity to most any one, as is shown by the following description contained in a letter from a Pennsylvania sentleman to relatives at home after having visited the one at this place: "Accepting the invitation of my friend I went out to the edge of this pretty little Southern town to see tho negro cemetery, and I am indeed glad I availed myself of this opportunity; tor I raw one of the greatest curiosities in all my travels, and 1 am sure you will think my imagination has indeed grown brilliantly Southern on this, my first trip to the South. But I am prepared to prove the accuracy and truthfulness of my description of this wonderful (to me) sight. "When we arrived at the 6pot sought, Wjhich was on a hillside sloping to the north, covered thickly with second-growth pines. I thought my friend had put np a jolly Southern trick on me and that I was at a spot where the children had come out from the town to make u play-house. I saw mounds of earth resembling graves, but from the fact that some of thr n were situated east and west, northeast and southwest, southeast and northwest, it was some time before my friend could make me believe it was so sacred a spot, not at least, however, until I indulged in a hearty horse laugh to think he would try to fool me so badly. A small marble headstone shown me, after a further investigation, caused me to shudder at my sacrilege for having laughed so loud on this solemn ground. A majority of the graves. were certainly curiosities, on account of their decorations, which were as follows: Broken china of every description, glassware of all kinds, lamps, blaok and white whisky flasks, usually quart size, beer bottles, Bixby's shoe-polish bottles, washbowls and pitchers, wornout tin hand-lamps, ehina doll heads, blacking boxes, shoe brushes, glass marbles, glass 'horns of plenty' and pistols, such as news butchers on the trains sell down here, tin horns, axes, old plows, cows7 horns, horseshoes, frying pans, ovens, old iron pots, strings of glass beads and buttons a la charm string, were coiled around the wooden head and foot-post. All these things literally covered the mounds of earth, making the spot where the remain of some poor colored man lay beneath the sod. There was no regular form; each one seemed to put these decorations on after their own idea, and no two graves were alike. On one grave sat a lonely rocker of the Boston pattern, and about it my friend told me the following story: The negro buried here was named Dan McKay, a hoodoo doctor, lie died about three years ago. after a lingering illness, sitting in that chair. Three days after he was buried, his wife says his spirit came to her about midnight, and told her to bring his chair and put it on his grave, that he wanted to sit in it when he got tired traveling around at night, and the next morning she put the chair there, where it has remained since, unmolested.' The woman is still living. I've seen her and she tells in her own way the same story. A negro grave-yard is certainly one of the greatest cariosities I ever saw, and is just as I describe it to you. There are neither walks nor drives through, though the graves are all kept scrupulously clean, in many instances of all vegetation, no llowers, evergreens nor anything else being eultivated. All the flowers and trees on this curious spot grow here wild in abundance, and they are left just as nature produces them; they are neither traiued nor trimmed. "There is only one marble headstone in the place,' and that marks the grave of a negro, who always voted, the iJemocratio ticket with the white people in reconstruction days, at the hazard of his life at the hands of his own race for so doing. If you ever come South, take my word for it and don't return to the North until you have visited what is called down here a negro grave-yad, a good photograph of which I will try to secure and send you soon. There is nothing half so curious in the wrjole of the Northern States, and the stories I hear about the great superstition of this race are indeed wonderful and interesting." A WILD-EYED GRANGER. Plaint of a Uoosier Agriculturist Who Is Evidently a Ilelict of "Copper-Head" Days. Buffalo Commercial. The Commercial has received a letter from a granger in Indiana, the greater part of which it chooses to publich, although no signature is attached to the epistle. The writer is a survival of tho rank st kind, of Indiana copper-heads the sort that used to gather at Bascom's store, atthe "Uonfedrit Cross-Uoads." when Petroleum V. Nasby was in his prime. The letter has a serious value, too, in a way, in spite of some ludicrous inconsistencies. Our Uoosier friend, after noting that "the Commercial man seems to feel wormy over Voorhees's election." asserts that unless the sway of "the two war parties" can be broken down, "the sooner we 'have a limited monarchy the better." Then he gets down to business: "The deplorable condition of the farmers in the West, one-half of whom aro living on mortgaged farms farms mortgaged away to pay war expenses, war bounties and tariff robberies. They have worked like white slaves for years, and raised large crops, which were sold on a "home market" for less than half the cost of production. "These farms are now worn out, and occupants in debt more than the- an worth, cannot restore them again to fertility. Many of these farmers are too old to labor, and their children have left them to attend college and become aristocrats and ollice-holders. Farms all over the country that should have live able hands to manage them usually have a small boy and the "old man" and woman. These farmers may have well educated sons, and wh;n they attempt to get an ofiice they are told that soldiers are preferred to a farmer's son who was crippled for life by an accident on the farm while laboring to rescue his patrimony from the ruthless mortgage held by some Eastern aristocrat. Both parties have taught the soldiers to believe that the country onght to be divided among them as a prize that unarmed people have no right that should bo

PennsylTanlast, respected. We grangers intend to change all this for the better. A man need not bo a murderer to entitle him to places of honor and distinction." This man's outcries are, undoubtedly, symptomatic of the depression that exists among the farmers of the West, Southwest and far West. Hut this notion concerning the responsibility of "the two war parties'' and the tarilffor the dillicolty the farmers in many places are having to make both ends meet, is an grotesque and illogical as his statement of the farmers' grievances. Half the farmers of tho West, ne eays, are living on mortgaged farms, selling their crops "for less than half the cost of production." They are old and alone their children having "left them to attend college and become aristocrats." One would say that farmers who sell crops for half the cost of production can't aliord to send their sons to college to bncorae aristocrats and office-holders, or their daughter to Paris to become prima donnas. 15ut it is a tree country. The latter part of the letter exudes a positively venomous hatred of the old soldier, which, betrays the writer as one of thoso Indiana reptiles who called themselves "Sons of Liberty" during the war men who longed and plotted, but were afraid to iisht for, the triumph of the Southern Confederacy. m TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.
