“BILLY” SOANLAN DYING.
The Dread l‘aresis “fill Soon Claim Him
for a Victim.
N IZWYOBK, March 16. —Harry Kernell
Was buried yesterday. The winds were
bleak about the old gray Bloomingdale
asylum and the branches of the trees were
bare and the afternoon sky was wintry
looking, with the redness of an autumn
leaf. Every suggestion of spring and
flowers seemed to have vanished like the
happy smile of Harry Kernell. Within
One week from today it is probable that
another famous comedian, “Billy” Scan-
lan, whose songs have evoked tears and
laughter, will go to join his fellow come
dian.
SCAKLAN.
W. J.
Ecsnlzm "est night-11a. no less thana
maniac. Several men have been in at-
tendance upon him constantly for the
last four days. Dr. Atwood stated last
night that if the present condition con-
tinued he did not see how Scanlsn cou (1
hold out a week longer. Meanwhile
every tender attention is being given,
and Mrs. Scanlag keeps faithfully within
call.
Though dying of paresis like Kernell,
Scanlgn still retains that great vitality
that distinguished his comic outbursts,
full of the wild efflorescence of joy. His
laughter will die harder. But it will not
be many days before the music of his
“Molly Oh!” will have been for the mo-
ment swept away by the same sigh that
hauntedthe old Bloomingdale trees yes-
terday afternoon as 51 1:31:11 oi requiem to
Harry Kernell.

BALTIMORE, March 16. —- Two weeks
ago Mrs. Julia Nye found a. babe on her
doorstep. Yesterday she received a letter
asking her to take good care of it, as it
was the offspring of a clandestine mar-
riage. Both father and mother are under
age, and are attending educational insti-
tutions here. In the case of the mother
there is a fortune at stake, which is now
held in trust, and which would, be for-
feited should her marriage become
known. Mrs. Nye is told she will be well
repaid for her trouble.

A MASSAGIIL III PIRATES
Chinese Free- Rooters Caught
and Slaughtered.
N0 CHANCE GIVEN THEM .TO
DEFEND THEMSELVES.
Two Bodies
SaCrI-fice.
SAN FRANCIsco, March 16. -—-'1‘he fol-
lowing news was received by the steam'
ship City of Rio de Janeiro, which has ar-
rived from Yokohama, Japan and Hong '
Kong, China:
A Yokohama paper prints the follow-
ing account of the. extermination of a
band of pirates in a Chinese village last
January: On January 15 last two pirati-
cal, crafts having run into one of the
numerous inlets in the. vicinity of' the
city of Shehpu, called Fan-Tu, for shelter,
some of the pirates landed ostensibly
for the purpose of making purchases, but-
most likely to see 'if any business could
be done in their particular calling.
The ruffians thought they and their ,
junks were sufficiently disguised and that
by merely informing the shops at which
they called that they were traders who
had run in for temporary shelter they
could ally suspic ions concerning their
real calling.
But as Fan-Tu had suffered repeatedly
from the depredations of the numerous
sea. priates aldng the coast of Chekiang,
and had lost some of their number at
their hands, it so happened that some of
the pirates who landed that day were rec-
ognized by the inhabitants of the village,
who, however, held their tongues while
the pirates were in sight.
No sooner had the men returned to
their junks than the alarm was silently
given, and the principal men of the vil- .
lage immediately called upon two broth-
me who were oflpcers belonging to one of '
the regiments garrisoning Ningpo.
The brothers were asked to lead a body
of their fellow-villagers who had deter-
mined to wreak vengeance upon the
pirates.
Accordingly 333 well armed villagers
surprised the freebooters during a raging
storm, in the early hours of the morning.
The two plrstical junks were surrounded.
In another minute the two junks
swarmed with the dark figures of the
villagers, who amid the shouts of their
comrades on the shore burst open the
batches and door; of the cabins and
poured astreem of bu lets upon the 50
Or 63 pirates who 11 ere huddled together
:1 the low er decks.
Being taken by surprise, hardly any re-
sistance was made. All of the pirates
but two were almost hacked into
pieces by the exasperated _ villagers.
These two pirates were saved to be made
away with in a different manner.
It seemed that among the many villag-
ers who had been killed by the pirates on
other occasions there was a son of the
patriarch of the vi.lage.
At daylight the two pirates, escorted
by the whole community, were led to the
young man’s grave, and- after being se-
cured to stakes two of the nearest role-'-
tives of the dead man pluiged their
knives into the breasts of the pirates,
and, ripping open their bodies, extracted
their hearts, which were then put on a
plate and placed on the table, upon which
were lighted candles and incense burn-
in .
While all this was going on the female
relatives of the deceased, dressed in
mourning, were gathered beside the
grave, crying and calling out to the
spirits of the dead to receive the sacrifice
that was being offered, as vengeance had
been taken on his murderers.
The offerings were then left at the grave
at the end of the ghastly ceremonies, and
the villagers proceeded to ransaCk the
piratical junks after having first thrown
the bodies overboard into the sea.
The plunder from the junks—gold, sil-
ver, silks, satins and rice—was then
equally divided among the families who
had previously suffered at the hands of
the pirates, and, as a finale, the junks
were towed into the stres m and set on
fire and burned to the water’s edge.
The bodies of the two victims of the
sacrifice were also thrown into the sea
While their hearts were afterward cooked
and eaten by the dead man’s relatives.
