(New York Letter to Philadelphia Press.)
New Yonx, June 10,—I am requested to
communicate to you the following narrative.
It seems to me to be an extraordinary one.
Being subjec‘, to seasickncs I seldom travel
on the Sphp1sfieu§r§b<§iflg fil§elh ‘iind there-
fore am nbt fi'compctent‘judge of the prob-
ability of the story. Besides, I have seen
no'lhiug about the alleged incident in either
the New York or the Boston newspapers. It
is, of course, conceivable that such a matter
should be hushed up. Disclaimiug any re-
sponsibility-for the narrator's statements, I
simply submit them without‘ comment, ex-
cept that they appear to convey instruction,-
whatever may be thought of their veracity.
The other night the Sound steamboat Hy-
annis left her pier on the North river at the
usual hour crowded with passengers for Bos-
ton. I recognized several Well-known men
of wealth belonging to that city, and several
equally wall-known citizens of New York
and Philadelphia. On a rough estimate, I
should say there were six or seven hundred
people on board. 1
It was nearly half an hour before I could
get a place at the supper table. As I left the
lower cabin an acquaintance nodded to me.
It was Rowland, the traveling member of the
firm of Bliss, Rowland & Winterspoon,
wholesale watches and jewelry, in Maiden
Lane. The small, dark gentleman with him
I knew to be the agent of the great diamond
house of Herzenheim Brothers.
The main deck at the foot of the saloon
stairs was, as usual at that time of evening,
crowded with smokers. Here also I found
sevcgal men whom I knew, and half a dozen
sailors, in the uniform of the United States
navy, were lounging on goods, boxes and
bales. One of them told me they were on
their way. to join the Wampanoag, at the
Charlestown yard. He hailed from Port Jef-
ferson, Long Island, and seemed to be an in-
telligent fellow. He expected that his ship
would be sent out to relieve the Schoodic of
the Asiatic squadron.
I asked him if he wouldn‘t prefer to work
in waters nearer home—a berth on one of the
Sound boats. for example. .
He gazed at me with a look of astonish-
ment. “Why," said he, “I never heard they
shipped sailors aboard these craft. If they
do they manage to keep ’em out o’ sight.”
I pointed to the starboard guard, where a
man with a glazed cap was superintending
the motions of two other men as they clum-
sily coiled a haWser.
“That’s the third ofiicer," said my United
States friend. , "He’s a stevedore by profes-
sion, not-a sailor.” ,
“And the crew.”
“A gang. mostly of 'iongshoremen, from
West street, to load and unload freight. If
they’re short handed they take anything they
can get, bricklayers, bod-carriers or tramps.”
“The second officer it”
“I am told he was a porter in a wholesale
grocery until he married the captain’s niece.”
“Well, the first ofiicer, then i"
“I‘m told he’s a gentleman and seamen—
the only one aboard." '
"You don't include Captain Preble in that
class ?” 1 '
“He looks fine on the gaugway plank in his
gold lace when the passengers come aboard.”
That was all 1 could get him to say about
Captain Preble. '
“If you reckon in,” he continued, “the
stewards and cabin hands and table waiters
and barbers and barkeepers and bell-boys,
there’s crew enough to handle a frigate in ac-
tion. I you count the men qualified to com-
mand and the men trained to obey—the sort
of felloiVs you want in times of sudden peril'
and uneXpected _ emergencies—you haven’t
got more’n enough .to man a gunnin’ float.
That’s the long and short of it. There‘s
about as much seamanship and discipline on
one of these Sound hosts as thereis on a
Pullman train between New York and Phil:
ndelphia. The engineers knew their business
and the pilots know theirn’; they’re obliged
to. The rest of the concern is run on the
pleasant day principle; let a sudden squall
come up and the story’s always about the
same. They’re all alike, mister.” ,
From personal knowledge I was satisfied
that he did injustice to some of the steam-
boats on the Sound. Whether he correctly
described the state of things on the Hyanuis
I didn’t then know.
A few minutes later Rowland stopped me
to light his cigar by mine. “Are you carry-
ing much value, this trip," he asked in a low
tone.
“Tea or Twelve thousand,” I replied.
“Well, look sharp,” he said, jerking his
thumb toward the right shoulder. “See that
your stateroom blinds are fast."
I asked him what he meant.
“You observe thit fellow in the chair next
to the coat room—no, don’t 'let him catch
your eye l—The fellow in the plaid suit.
That’s Dutchman Jacob, the accomplished
gentleman who lifted $8,000 worth of trin-_
Caldenott’s man's room :in a' Buffalo hotel
a few days ago. There are two or three other
gentlemen aboard to-night that I shan’t offer
to show my samples to."
Ohl my things,” said I, “happen to be in
n buhglar-proof triflik behind a combination
lock and shut up in the bottom of one of the
big baggage vans under a ten or two of other
luggage. Your‘ friend, the Dutchman, is
Welcome to lift them if he wants exercise.”
“All right,” said Rowland. “My trunks
are in the .van, too; but it’s well to know
who’s around. Good night. Breakfast with
me at Parker’s.” ,
Walking through the mainsaloon, I amused
myself by examining the faces of the men in
chairs and on settees, in order to identify, if
I could, the professional criminals to whom
Rowland had alluded. There were several.
bad countenanccs; but, as I haven’t great
faith in physiognomy, and happened to know
that one of the most vicious-looking individ-
uals I saw was an excellent clergyman ,set-
tied in Dorchester, 1 ‘did not put much value
on the result of the inspection. -. .
In the middle of the night I was awakened
by the steamboat’s hoarse, whistle, 'almost
continuously operated. I looked at ‘my
watch; it lacked a quarter of two. .- I unins-
tened my window blind ‘and looked out. The
fog was as thick as dough, so I went to sleep
8Tb: next time I awoke there was a prod ig-
ious pounding upon a neighboring stateroom,
and my room was full of gas. I jumped up
and turned oif.the burner, for I am well aware
that the illuminating principle is carried on
board these boats in bags and put under pres-
sure, and the pressure varies according to cir-
cumstances, and, according to circumstances,
a passenger gets through the night with light
or is quietly asphyxiated in the darkness.
My first thought, therefore, was about the
gasburner; and then, as the pounding con-
tinuedjit recurred to me that the stewards
must be arousing the passengers for the steam-
boat train. I pulled on my trousers and shoes,
momentarily expecting the summons on my
own door. . .
But there was trouble in the next room. ' I
heard a crash as if the door was. violently
burst open. Then there were harsh voices,
the sound of a scuttle and a sharp click, un-
mistakably the cocking of a pistol. “D-—u
ye! Put up your hands l” were the last
words that reached my cars from myncigh-
bor's apa'itmcnt; almost simultaneously with
their utterance there came a heavy rap on
my door. ,
I grabbed my waistcoat, containing my
watch and pocket-book, and threw open the
stateroom window; for if there was to be a
personal altercation, I preferred to bear it
anywhere'rather than in that dark and nar-
row trap. The window opened close to the
side of the great paddle-box. By the exer-
cise of a little agility, I was able to scramble
up the rounded slope, and thus to gain the
hurricane deck above.
3 I: it; and although the fog was as thick as

lights were out and the fog whistle was si-
thc water at full speed. .'
£his was a state: of affairs that quite tran-
ac dql-the limits of my experience ass
.tra. eIer upon Long Island Sound. I groped
m by forward, past funnels and skylight,
to
to show me that the wheel was in the hands
of the enemy, whoever the enemy might be.
Three men with revolvers stood behind the
two men at the wheel, and on abench Icould
make out the dusky forms of two other men
lying asleep, or dead, or bound. These in-
vestigations of mine, however, terminated
rather suddenly. I must have been seen by
the desperadoes. Without the least warning
a bullet came crashing through the glass per-
ilously near my head, and I hastily retreated.
As we afterwards learned, the capture of
the Hyanuis was effected so quickly and so
easily that it was done before anybody. knew
what was up. The number’of men concerned
in the affair has since beenvariously estima-
ted at from sixteen to thirty. I am inclined
to believe, from my own observations that
night, that there could not have been more
than two dozen in the gang. The pilot and
engineers were overpowered and intimidated;
thecaptain, who was asleep, as usual was
merely lashed. and gagged and left in his
bank; the first officer, whose watch it was,
made a stubborn and gallant fight, in which
he was assisted by two of my friends, the
United States sailors. Had there been the
least. degree of discipline and, organization
among the crew, the story would have been
different. But this oflicer called in vain
upon his stupid ’longshoremen. They cow-
ered before the dozen pistols shown on the
main deck, and slunk away to labyrinthine
recesses in the freight. ‘As for the colored
gentlemen who constituted an overwhelming
majorityof the total force attached to the
boat,they ran about half frenzied with terror,
and were kicked out of the way or sent on
errands and otherwise employed .as suited
the convenience of the brigands. In less
than five minutes from the-time of the first-
assault, the Hyannis and her six or seven
hundred passengers were completely in the
power of a score or ,more of audacious
scamps.
After the little adventure at the wheel
hohse, I thought it prudent to descend from
the hurricane deck. I made my way by the
paddle-box to the saloon deck, and then slid
do'wn a stanchion to the freight deck, where
I found a safe deposit 'for my valuables be:
tween two bales of jute. When I finally re-
gained the saloon by the main stairway, I
was confronted by a spectacle which, serious
as it was from the grand jurymau’s point of
view, certainly did not lack some of the hu-
merous. '
Six masked men, armed with repeating
rifles, patrolled the galleries overlooking and
commanding the saloon. In the middle of
the saloon were huddled together several
hundred male passengers, some with toilets
half completed, some simply clad in the gar-
ments of night. A more astonished, fright-
ened, half-awake, indignant collection of hu-
man beings atla disadvantage, it is impossi-
ble to imagine. Herc were bank presidents,
pleasure tourists, cemmcrcial travelers and
solid citizens, just awakened from innocent
slumber to a rude experience of the Anderc
souville system of supervison. If a prisoner
attempted to move from his place, or other-
wise made the slightest demonstration of re-
sistance, he was brought to his senses by a
peremptory challenge from the gallery with
a gun pointed at his head. ‘I have said that
this singular assemblage was composed of
male passengers. It is proper to remark that
throughout the whole affair the women were
treated with consideration and allowed to
remain in their staterooms, where they suf-
fered, no doubt, _mortal agonies of terror.
When I entered the saloon I was seized by
two masked men who guarded the stairway,
and was thrust without ceremony into the
midst of the throng. I found myself in the
immediate vicinity of Rowland. who appeared
to be taking thingd very philosophically.
Near us was the agent of Herzenheim Broth
ers, the diamond men. His face was the
picture of despair.
“Well i” said I in a whisper.
. “Well 1” replied Rowland.
“It is a clean sweep," he continued.
“They’ve got everything we had with uS."
The agent of the di'dlnond house uttered a
deep groan. '
I told Rowland with some satisfaction of
the disposition I had made of my own watch
and pocket book. He laughed. “That’s a trifle
they can afford to lose,” said he. “When
they reached us on their rounds they already
had a bushel-basketful of gold watches. and
a United States mail bag crammed full ‘of
greenbacks."
Several hours went by without any mate-
rial change in the situation. Once in awhile
our forlorn congregation would be invaded
by a small detachment ’of the dominant par-
ty, who would seize some individual and
carry him off to parts unknown. It is salon:
ishing how rapidly news spreads in peniten-
tiaries and other places ofdetention where
,and the means of communicationmost re-'
._ -"-‘strfi'cted. Th wo d “
kets through the transom..'over the door ~on ‘1 e r went among “8' Now
”they’re slinging out the capitalistr and forc-
ing them to sign checks in the bridal room.
They are provided with blanks on nearly
every bank in, New York,Boston and Phil-
adelphia." -
The gentlemen work methodically," said
I, “but it is as easy to stop payment as it is
to sign acheck.” . . . '
Yes, rejoined Rowland, shrugging his
. shoulders, “provided ,we get ashore before
they do. I imagine they’ll see to it that we
don’t." .
It was daylight now, but the fog still en-
compassed us and our misfortunes. Along
in the forenoon, the Hebrew representative
of Messrs. Horzenheim, started up from the
profound apathy into which he had fallen,
and uttered a heartrending shriek. We
heard a tremendous poundingand tearing and
crashing directly beneath our feet, as if a
dozen men were at work with axes and crew-
bars.
' “They are scuttling the boat,” exclaimed
somebody. ’
“0, no," said Rowland. coolly. “They’re
only ripping open , baggage vans.” He
pointed to our diam'ond friend, who was al-
most in hy'steries. “Herzenheim Brothers
never insure on the read,” he explained to
me in a whisper.
Half an hour later I was almost asleep on
a settee, when I heard a great shout. The
guards had been withdrawn. As soon as the
passengers recovered the sense of freedom,
there was a rush to the side of the steamboat.
We could see the dim outlines of a tugboat,
a hawser‘slength away, bobbing up and down
on the swell. Two boats full of men were
making rapidly for the tug. From the deck
of the Hyannis half a dozen pistols were
wildly fired at the retreating party. I
The United States man-of-wa'r’s-man from
Port Jefferson was standing by my side at
the rail; peering like myself into the fog.
“Where do you suppose we are P" I asked.
“There’s no telling. ,Judging by the run
we'might be somewhere ed the south shore
of Long Island, any opposite Speonk or Pat-
chogue.” -
“And we can certainly run in five or 'six
hours to Sag Harbor or Newport, or some
place where there’s a telegraph P"
“Not'much,” he replied, with a laugh.
“'1 hey’ve done the job thoroughly. They’ve
not only .put the fires out, they’ve unscrewed
the cylinder heads and thrown ’em over-
board. And, by —, they’ve not only done
that, they’ve gone and jammed the Jiller
chains,” he added, with a terrific lapse unto
profanity. .

. “Am Brudder Abraham Scott in do hall

looked down the aisles.
“Yes, sar,” answered a voice from the
northwest corner. .
“Den please step dis way."
Brother Scott scuffed forward, his head
down, and his countenance betraying about
serenteo different emotions,and,as he reached
the mark, the president continued:

Brother Scott stared straigbtilt a picture
of Venus, done in whitewash, but had noth-
ing to say. ‘
“It was Brudder Scott,”_ whispered the
president. “Although two of his children
are bar’fut, his wife needs clothes, an' 'he
hasn’t a dozen taters in de house, he has-
taken good money from his pocket an’ .paid
it out for bad whisky. He wasn't a man
when I found him. He was a hog—a great
big hog! Icould smell his breaf six feet
away, an’ it would have made a dog sick.
He‘had lost his hat, rolled in de slush an’ den
fallen into a stuporish sleep. I get help an’
toted him home, an’ to-night he comes to dis
meetin’ to have a vote among men who
work hard, respect themselves and live sober
lives.”
“I’se sorry, sah."
“No doubt ob it, but dat am deference.
A fool excites pity, kase God made him that
way. A lunatic draws sympathy, kase he
has met with misfortune. A drunkard
arouses nothing but contempt. He deliber-
ately goes at it to make a brute ob himself.
You hab heard me speak ob dis matter on
seberal prevus occasions, an’ you know how
de majority ob dis club feels on de subjeck.
In de ins’ two ments you have been found
drunk fo’ times.”
, “Yes, sah ; but I'll quit.”
“I hope you will, but I doubt it. You
had eberything to lose gettin'drunk dc fust
time. . You hab lost character, respect,
money and standiu’, an dar’s leetle hope dat
you will see any reason to quit. We kin
guard agin thieves by lockin’ up our money.
We kin put de murderer in prison an’ have
him out’er de way. We kin expose de liar
and kiver him with confusion. But do
drunkard—de hog—-de beast—who kin trust
him? Who kin believe him? Who wants
his society ? Who am not degraded by
walking beside him? Brudder Scott, you
ama bounced man! Your "name will be
crossed from our roois ; you will be refused
admission heah, an’ we shall forgit dat you
war eber numbered wid us. Let us now at-
tack de reg’lar order ob business—Detroit

A Caution to our Readers.
Inferior imitations frequently follow suc-
cessful invention. This has been the case
with the patent eronnmu floor cloth. Be-
yond all controversy its durability and bean-
ty are proven. When purchasing, look ‘on
the back of the cloth for the word “LINo—'
LEUM." It is printed on every square yard.
None other is genuine. All carpet dealers
keep it.

me yet a kiss-let; I ask only out of curiosity,
because I gladly know would whether it from

turn ?' ‘Neighbor,’ replied she, snappingly,
‘ask you only my husband; he has your dear
its many a kiss given; he must it know ?"

SUIENTIFIC _li_ISCELLANl.
M. Grehaut has made a series of experi-
ments which convince him that death is
caused by'alcohol when the proportion of
absolute alcohol in the blood is equal to the
hundredthpart of the latter; that the con:
dition known as “dead drunk" exists when
the alcohol'imbibed ceases to be absorbed
and the blood presents the proportion of one
part of alcohol to 195 of blood—more than
one-half the fatal quantity. This observer
thinks that if fewer deaths occur from
nrunkenness than might be expected it is be-
cause drunkards stop drinking before the fate
proportion of alcohol in the blood has been
reached. ‘
The fat of the body is found by M. Lan-
quer to vary greatly with age. In infants it
forms a firm fallow-like mass, melting at 113
degrees ‘ Fahrenheit. The fat of adults.
however, separates into a fluid and a solid
layer at the ordinary temperature of a room,
the solid portion melting at 97 degrees—
being completely fluid at blood-heat. The
variation in the composition of the fat is very
considerable, the oleic acid increasing and
the palmitic and stearic acids decreasing with
age. .
A newly proposed plan for the ventilation
of tunnels is the use of chemicals for absorb-
ing. the impurities of the air. A “chemical
lung," eased upon this principle,hns been put
to a satisfactory test'in London by a number
of scientists.
When oceap cables are raised so many of
the crabs, corals, snakes and other inhabi-
tants of the ocean bottom are drawn up with
them that cable-repairing,has been suggested
as a nrvel method of dredging of which it is
hoped some competent naturalist may take
advantage. '
After a recent violent storm on the Eng-
lish coast a quantity of saline matter was
observed on windows at a distance inland.
The deposit is believed to have been made
by ocean spray, which in this case must
have been blown by the wind at least sixty
miles. .
According to- statistics recently worked
out, one railway traveler is killed in France
for each $1,600,000,000 kilometres (about
994,250,000 miles) run, which is a distance
equal to 40,000 times the length of the voy-
age around the world. This excursion, the
computer adds, would last during 3,044
years travelling day and, night at the rate of
00 kilometres (37.28 miles) per hour; Al-
lowing sixty years to be the average lifetime
in store for a healthy man, it allows that
before he could be killed by a railway acci.
dent according to the law of probabilities he
would have dicd‘a natural death over fifty
times.
An important fact noticed by Dr. Koch
in the tubercle Bacillae, which he has found
to exist in all tissues affected by tuberculosis
or consumption, is that they are unaffected
by neutral substances or strong mineral
acids. This peculiarity teaches that alkaline
solutions, which out upon and destroy the
parasites, are to be used for disinfection and
as remedies for consumption.
A curious collection of books is contained
in the library of Warstenstein, near Cassel
in Germany. These books appear at first
sight to be logs of woods, but each volume
is really a complete history of the tree it
represents. The back shows the bark, in
which a small place is cfit to write the sci- ,
entific and the common name as a title.
One side shows the tree trunk in its natural
state, and the other is polished and varnished
Inside are shown the leaves, fibre and insect
parasites,to which is added a full description
of the tree and its products.
The sorrowful tree—so named because it
flourishes only at night—grows upon the
island of Goa near Bombay.. The flowers,
which have a fragrant odor, appear soon af-
ter sunset the year round, and close up or
fall off as the sun rises.
Prof. F. A. Abel considers it doubtful
whether coal-dust in mines can cause exten-
sive explosions in the complete absence of
fire-damp, but only a small proportion of fire-
damp is necessary to make the presence of
the dust extremely dangerous.
Fort Rae, in British America, has been
chosen as a British Government Station in
the chain of circumpolar scientific observa-
tions. The Swedes have selected a site for
their station at Wylde Bay, in West Spitz-
bergen.
A Prussian manufacturer has found that
treating the woods with ozone greatly adds
to the durability of pianos used in warm
climates.
Mr. St. George Lane Fox predicts that the
incandescent electric lamps will son altogeth-
er supercede the are lights now so rapidly
coming into general use for lighting streets
and large areas. He thinks the danger to
life from contact with the wires used for
electric lighting purposes may be overcome
by using low tension currents which are
harmless. As to fire risks he believes that
they can only arise from gross careless-
ness. . ~
The attempt made by the ;Belgians to in-
trOduce the [Indian elephant into Central
Africa has not, been successful. The three
elephants taken by the expedition have died,
but it is believed that this result has been
caused by insufficient food and excessive
work. This experiment is therefore not
regarded as conclusive, and further efforts
will doubtless be made to use the Indian
elephant as a beast of burden in African coir
oniz‘ation.

A curious trial, 'in which the Orleans
princes and some of their relatives, including
the King of the Belgians and the. Count. of
Flanders, will figure as defendan ts, will
shortly come on for h ' before the civil
tribunal xn-Paril. In 1 0, the Due d'Or-
leans, known in history as Philippe Egalite,
became guarantee to Jean Louis Monacron
for a sum of 600,000 francs advanced to M.
Louis Armand dc Content Biron. 0n the
property of the Orleans family. being confis-
cated in 1703 by the Convention, M. Mon-
neron’c claim was acknowledged and paid in
bonds issued by the-State. These securities,
however, only brought about a quarter 0!
the sum’ advanced, and M. Monueron’s de-
scendants claim' the rest. ‘
