Capt. Morris’ Awful Experience in
a Siberian Coal Mine.
TORTURE MOST EXQUISITE.
Chained to a Man \Vlio Dies. He Has to
Cut the Corpse in Two with His
Shovel to Get Rid of the
Awful Spectacle.
BOSTON, Feb. .10.—-The Herald Monday
vmorning published the story of Capt. J o-
:seph \V. Morris, relating his experiences
HIS a prisoner for three years in a Siberian
ieoal mine. Mr. Morris says he was cap-
‘tain of the schooner Helena, which sailed
from Yokohama, April 11, 1883, on a cruise
for walrus. They captured walrus in Bus-
esian territory, and the schooner was seized
by a Russian gunboat. The crew were
Ytaken to Vladiostock, where' they were
tried and convicted of violating the seal
. and fishing laws.
There was no American consul at the
part, and the prisoners had no counsel.
'1". ‘iey were condemned to imprisonment in
a coal mine for three years. They were
sen It into different parts of the mine and
wereobliged to send up ten tons of coal
per day for the first year and six tons per
day for the other years. If the required
amo unt of coal did not come up no rations
woul \d be sent down.
Chained to a Corpse. ‘
Cal 1t. Morris was fastened to 3. Pole, the
chain between them being eight feet long.
The t‘ W0 men slept on the floor of the mine
and \\ one feed on rice Soup. At the end of
three month-s the Pole died, but no one
came to relieve. Morris of the body. At
the end of fifteen days the captain cut the
Polo’s body in two with his shovel and got
it upon a. load of coal. A hammer and
chisel were. then. sent down to him with
which to cut off tihe chain.
\Yhen Eivlorris came out at the end of
three yea: l‘S, during which time he had seen
no hum; 1.11 face but the Pole’s, he found
that F- C. Crocker, of Sear-Sport, Me., one
of his 'erew, had just been released. To-
gether they walked 150 miles to Vladivo-
stock, the Russians refusing them trans-
portation. They were coal begrimed,
Tagged and sor e from the bites of vermin.
An Aanerican vessel took them to Naga»
saki, where the .United States consul pro—
, vester Beekman, colored, was arrested
; here Monday charged with heating to death

vided them Witll clothes, and they took E
their first hot bath in three years. _

ito Yokohama, wlnmce they went to San
The :
Francisco, Morris fi pally reaching Boston, _
his native place. 0 ‘f his crew three were
Americans and twen ty—two were Japanese.
Besides Crovfiker Capt; Mlorris has heard of
but one living out 11 is term of imprison-
merit.
Tl 1e Captain’s 'W'eii'd Story.
Capt. 'Morris, describing his terrible or-
deal iiifi’the mine, said:
“The. Pole was really insane, and for a
day or‘two my condition was mighty un-
comfortable. He ate .my rations of rice.
soup and threatened to kill me when I ex-
postulated. At last hunger drove me to
desperation annithe Pole and I had a terri-
ble fight. He w as much stronger than I,
but he had no s],\ill, and I got the best of
him and gave him a sound drubbing.
After that we got along all right.
“At the end of tl, tree months I awoke one
morning and form ll my companion dead.
I was in a. dilemma 1.
. take that with a few grains of allowance.”
I was chained to a 1
dead man, and wit '21 five car loads of coal §
to send up or no r ations. thile I was
turning it over in my mind a thought
struck me. By this: time I was nearly
starved.
“I thought that if I could wheel the ,
corpse from the veil: (If coal to the shaft,
take it of? there and dump my coal into ‘
the car, and work hard enough to do two
jmen’s work 1’ would get the rations sent 5
‘down for both of us: and. this I did for
.iour days, scndi ug both lanterns up every
niight. At the (41d of this time I couldn’t
stand it any longer, and 'I decided to do
my own work onlly. -
‘ "Thereafter. as I expected, rations came
down for on} _v one. At this time I think
that for several days mytreason partially
left true. for ‘1. rcme mber beating the corpse
with my Shovel. I don’t know why I
should has-c done. so, but I- suppose I was
driv sen frantic by seeing myself helplessly
cha‘hied tn a corpse.
’Cot the Corpse in Two.
“At. the. end of fifteen days, having had
to liftimnl carry the fellow around all the
time,, I began to feel weak from labor and
sick from the stench of the putrefying
body. \Vhat do do I didn’t know. But at
last a fearful {thought came to me that
makes meshuclder to this day, and there
was no way but to carry it out.
“I took my shovel and cut the corpse
through at the \vaist, removing the belt,
thus by t] ie only p ossible way freeing my—
self from the body. I placed the portions
of the corpse on tllO"Cal‘ and sent them up
on the next load of coal. On the next car
down Were hammer and coal chisel, which
I had di vined was for the purpose of taking
Off myloands and chain. This I did, and
sent t1: em up with fihenext load of coal.
This mas all the recognition they gave to
my sending up the dead body. I learned
when I came out that a pardon had come
for the Pole only a few weeks after his
death.
“New I was alone, and I kept on at my
five earloads daily, until one day, after I
had sent up my second car. a paper came
down telling me to put my lamp on the
next load. This meant that I had been in
.the llllllf‘ a year, and now I was to send up
only three loads a day. I had myself been
keeping account of the time by placing. a
lump of coal for each day in a certain place.
{elease Fame at Last.
“My count made it 353 days, which, con-
siderin g my situation, I think was pretty
good. I now sank into a despoudent need,
and I found that three cars a (lay were
worse than five, I had so much more time
to think. I would sit on my bed of coal
and ponder over my hardships until I
thought I should go mad. If I had had any
means of committing suicide I should cer-
tainly have taken it. It did not occur to
me to get on the car myself on one of the
up trips. If I had done so, I would certain-
ly have becn shot by the guard at the en-
trance to the mine.
_ “Time went on, endless as it seemed,
1mm 1 nothing occurred to break the mo—
. note my until one day an officer descended
tlarge sheet of paper. He could not

Mrs. Little, of Newark. A year ago Beek-
man married Jennie \Viley. a White wom-

as his opinion that the child was murdered.
He turned the case over to Coroner Dono-
van. Chief Tcimy has learned that Beek-
man and his wife used to beat the child
with clubs and a leather belt. Its back
and limbs are all cut and bruised from the
blows.
The neighbors testified to seeing the
brutal punishment done, and also that the
child was nearly starved. They gave it
food fora while, but then its stepmother
ordered it to bring the food home to her,
and if the child did not it was subjected to
a beating.
Learning this they stopped giving it any-
thing. The screams of the child last week
it is said were pitiful to hear. The woman,
who is rather attractive looking, Will be

HUNTERS OF "HUMAN HEADS.
Cannibalism Still Prevails Among Na-
tives of the Solomon Islands.
Among the passengers that arrived by
the steamer Mariposa Saturday was a gen-
tleman named Watson. Mr. W'atson has
been for many years engaged in trading
among the South Sea islands for copra,
pearl shells and other commodities He
told some strange stories to a reporter
about head hunting and cannibalism that ‘
still prevail in the Solomon islands:
“I first went to the Solomon group as a ‘
trader for a Sydney firm, and having filled
the positions of storekeeper and land
owner for seven years, know these natives
well. My first visit was to the island of
Lango. Soon after we anchored some na-
tives came off and warned us that the peo-
ple on shore wanted to kill the first white
man they could. Upon being questioned
they stated that some years ago a trader
had been killed by them, and a man-of—war
had appeared, exacting a heavy fine of
pigs and other things. The war vessel had
been piloted by a white man, and the na-
tives had resolved to kill the pilot, and
failing to kill him they intended to take
the life of the first white man on whom
they could lay their hands. I found out
that the natives were well armed and left
the place.
“At the island of Rubiana similar con-
ditions prevail. While we were at Bam-
battan we had a narrow escape. Among
the natives who came on board were two
chiefs. They finished trading, and I no-
ticed that they kept close to the rudder
trunk of the vessel. I discovered a canoe
under the stem with natives passing up
axes, and as there were over seventy na—
tivcs on board the ship they fully intended
to capture us.
“Our crew soon got out their 'arms, and
the scoundrels seeing that we were deter-
mined left thc vessel. Treachery is rife,
and no white man’s life is safe among
them, their utmost desire being to secure
heads. On Bagga island they killed, roast—
ed and ate a man named Childe, who lived
there. I think he was a runaway from
some American Whaler, and had lived on
the island for over twenty years.”
At Banietta. Mr. Yv’atson was present
when the captain of the war ship Diamond
visited the islands. Six persons landed,
and there were over fifty natives in am-
bush, all armed with guns, ready to mas—
sacre the white men it the Opportunity of—
fcred.
Relative to the practice of head hunting
he stated that the natives go from island
to island in search for the prizes, watching
their chances. The heads are used at the
death of a chief or at a canoe launching.
As many as five heads planted around the
grave of a chief is supposed to appease the
evil spirit that caused the death, while at
a. canoe launching the measure of luck that
is in store for the craft is according to the
number of heads that adorn the vessel as
it enters the water.
Mr. VVat—son is of the opinion that no one
ought to land on these islands without be-
ing armed. The custom of the British
warships to destroy villages, blow up ca-
noes and fire shells over the houses is of
no use, as it only embitters the natives
againstthe whites—San Francisco Chron—
icle.
Dis-agreeable for Hawk and blouse.
A sportsman was returnin from quail
shooting, when he perceive a sparrow
hawk poise in the air a short distance from
him and then dart fiercely down into the
grass. In a moment the bird flew upward
With something in its talons and uttering
cries in which acute pain and the fierce joy
of victory seemed somewhat queerly blend-
ed. It kept screaming and peeking at a
small object in its claws.
The sportsman brought his gun to his
shoulder and killed the bird. The bird had
driven its claws into the back of a mouse,
perforating the skin, passing beneath two
ribs of the little animal and piercing the
skin again in such a manner that it could
not turn its catch loose. The tortured
mouse on his part had seized one leg of the
bird in his mouth and buried his teeth into
it just above the joint in the leg, cutting
the bone entirely in two. Both mouse and
bird had been killed outright by the hu-
man animal of prey, the mouse having re-
ceived a shot in the side and the bird one
in the head—\Vaco Day.
Esquimau Children are Not “'hinpcd.
W'hen one notes the vigor and enthusiasm
of the Esquimau little folks at their play
the statement that they are never punished
by their parents seems almost incredible.
Such asuperabundance of animal spirits.
as they display would str'aightway get a
white boy across his mother‘s knee, while
an avenging shingle or slipper fanned the
air and the boy. But Esquimau small boys
are never sent out after :1. Willow switch to
torture them; neither are they scolded or
reviled by their parents until of almost
mature years. On the other hand, the Es—
quimau baby, from the moment it under—
stands its mother’s voice, yields unques-
tioning obedience to all its parents’ com-
mands—John D. Spears in New York

The Small Eel.
When the water becomes warm in the
spring, myriads of embryo eels appear.
The water swarms with them. They are
not much larger than darning needles,
contain almost no solid matter, only a
faint thread in a filament of jelly, but are
tremendously active. Before the discovery
of the utility of the clam worm as smelt
bait, eel was thought to be the only article
that smelts would eat in the winter. It
has the merit of being tough. A small
fragment of eel fastened upon a hook and
soaked in water swells like a dried apple
and becomes a tough, white lump—G. W.
Singer in Lewiston Journal.
A Dog’s Teeth Filled with Gold.
A traveling dentist that now and then
visits Birmingham has a pet dog whose
decayed front teeth are filled with gold.
The dog had the toothache some time ago,
and his master, after examining the de-
cayed teeth, filed out the cavities very
neatly and put several dollars’ worth of
gold into them. The dog kicked vigorous-
ly against the operation and howled too,
but some one held him in the chair, and the
dentist performed the job successfully.
“Then the dog grins the gold filling gleams
beautifully—Cor. New York Sun.
Source of the Mississippi.
A correspondent asks, Has the disputed
question as to the exact source of the Mis-
