THE WEEKLY HERALD: rLATTSMOl'TII.NEHRASKA. MARCH 21, 1891. 3 If WRECKED IN MID OCEAN. The Terrible Sufferings of the Crew on the American Ship Belknap. Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat. San Fkanscisco, Cal., March 15 Thc Chim steamer Rio de Janeris, which arrived this afternoon, Lrinjr the first details of the total loss of the American ship Kobert I,. Bel knan. which ran on a reef of the Natunes Ielanda, in the Indi.iu I Ocean, on January lf. All hands finally readied Singapore, but one hoat'd crew of tive men suffered fearful hardships. The Belknap wailed from Kobe for New York. Capt. Staples owned nearly one half of the vessel, which was fully insured. She struck on a reef fif teen miles from land, which the captain claims was not dowu ou the admiralty charts. All hands reached the islands, in the two boatB, and they saved very little clothing or food. The chief mate had his wife with him and he suffered much frrm hardships. The captain and all except the second mate and four SailorB left in the war canoe for Singapore. The mate left in the whaleboat before the other party and reached Singa pore after hardships that may crip pie the mate for life. The second lay out the boat was swamped, and they were six hours in the water before righting her. They lost everything except two cocoanuts, on which they lived three days, till they reached Linpgi. The cap tain was the only one who saved any clothes, and when he made Singapore he departed at once for New York. Hia men complain bit terly of his shabby treatment. On the vessel was a young Russian prince in disguise. He had left his home in the Caucasus to see the world, and his people vainly tried to trace him. They finally cabled to the Russian Consul at Yokohama that the boy was on the Belknap. The Consul endeavored to have him leave the vessel, but he flatly refused. The prince was one of the three in the mate's boat, anil his sufferings cured him of all de sire to wander more. The young man, who is IS, will be sent home from Singapora in a Russian man ofwar. AMERICAN MfMNIES FOK Xllllil HON Salt Lake. Utah, March 11 lion Maguire, chief of the Utah mining exhibit of the world's fair now has in the city an unique col lection ot antiquities found in cav erns in the southern part of tli territory. The most interesting fea turesarea number of mummies, probably thousands of years old. One is that of a body less than a year old. It was l iid to rest at full length, and is fairly well preserved. The next mummy is that of a :hill probably 10 years r,f age. It wa buried in the custom of the ag having the feet cramped up, and the hands placed under the chin. A fine specimen is that.of an adult man of fine physique, the length (tf which is " feet 10 inches. It is partially wrapped up in a cloth, made from feathers. The feet are well shaped and rather small. He is stretched out at full length and has a well-shapedjhead. The teeth are perfect, the skin is of a dark brown and looks as though it had been tanned. The skull shows re markable depression at the back, it is supposed that the natural shape of the head was artificiilly changed in infancy, as such a prac tice was common in more recen times among some tribes of In dians. CANADA INDIANS AT WAK. Voncouveh. B. C, March 15 The steamer Coquillan returned yester day from a halibut fishing cruise in the northern waters of British Co lumbia. She brings further news regarding the Indian troubles re sulting Irom the massacre of the Bella Bella Indians by the Kitkat las on Sarrow Island some months Kgo, In the Skeene River, it Canoe load of Kitkatlas were spoken. The Indians stated the wanted to es caue from the Bella Bellas, who were in pursuit. A few days after two canoes full of armed men with Winchester l ilies and knives, bordered the Coquillan, and went all over her, evidently search ing to see of their foes, tie Kitkat las, had taken refuge on board. The Indians stated that war had been declared between the two tribes. A battle had already been fought, in which two men were killed and several wounded. The Bella Bellas are the most warlike tribe in the Providence, and cans ed considerable trouble some time ago, when a gunboat was sent up to put down the upraising. An ex. pedition was then made to the in ierior, and their towns distroyed. Since then they hare l c i quiet. Probably similar measure will be adopted again. 8ETTLED WITtf FIT81 ZMMOSS. New OkLEANa, La., March 13 The Creeent City Atlantic club has finally made a settlement with Fitz simtnons for hiB share of the $40,000 paying him part cash and the bal ance in secured notes. Pnsident Noel says the club is not going out of business. "Some people," he said, "have gone out of their way to abuse the club. It is a case of hitting a man when he is down, but the club is still alive and our turn will come again." "What about the Corl.ett-Mitchell affair':" 'Why, if Buffalo is willing to pay f.")0.(KiOor$75,(JOO for the fight she can have it and we will be there to see the fight. The city can have the fight if it bids more than f-'o.OOO. I do not know precisley to what ex tent we shall go, but any offers we might make wouldn't go beyond $2r,)00, which is a fancy purse now. There is too much risk and we shouldn't be justified in the light of past experience in taking great chances." What 1he Olympic will bid for the fight remains to be seen, but it is not thought it will be in serious competi4ion with Buffalo, should the articles of agreement be changed so as to allow the fight to take place in that city. The North German Lloyd steam ship Company is preparing an elaborate exhibit for the world's fair in Chicago. A pavilion is be ing constructed by the company, in the middle of which there will be placed a large map of the world, on which the daily posi tions of all of the steamers of the North German Lloyd on the vari ous lines of that company will be represented by miniature steam ers, which will be moved from day to day to correspond with the movements of the steamers all over the world. Around the map will be placed the six models of the latest North German Lloyd. On the walls of the pavilion will be graphic discription showing com paratively the tonnage and the pas senger traffic of the world, the development of the German Lloyd Company in tonnage, transporta tion of passengers, coal consump tion, total number of nauticle miles travelled, etc. Ths wMole ex hibit and its pavilion will be under the charge of one of the officers of the company. A sturdy son of Sweden was sit ting in the depot waiting for the corporation to kidnip him. On his lap was a well developed car pet bag that bore many evidences of old age. He sat bent over with his elbows on the carpet bag and appeared to be in deep meditation when a friend accosted with some thing like the following: "Are yes goin to lave the yards, shorty':" "You yust bat our botes, Yack."

The Hearts of Two Cut Out and Eaten by the Na tives. San Francisco, Cal , March 15. : The steamship City of Rio tie Jane rio arrived today from Yokohama and Hong Kong. A Yokohama pa- per prints the following, of the ex termination of a band of pirates in a Chinese village last Ja.iuary. On I the lfith of January last, two pi ratical crafts having run into one of the numerous inlets in the vicinity of the City of Sheehpu, called Fan-Tux, for shelter, some of the pirates landed, ostensibly for the purpose of making some pur chases, but most likely to see whether business' could be done in their particular calling. Probably Ilia lw..,vl,ft fll-lt Ihnv nttll their junk3 were sufficiently dis guised, and so thought that by merely informing the shops at at which they culled that they were traders and had run in for tempor ary shelter they could ally suspi cions concerning their real calling. But as Fan-Fag had suffered re peatedly from depredations of the numerous sea pirates, and has lost some of its number at the hands of the desperadoes, it so happened that some of the pirates who lan ded that day were recognized by the inhabitants, who, however, held their tongues while the pirates were in sight. No sooner had the men returned to their junks than the alarm was siglently given, and the principal men of the village immediately called upon two broth ers who were officers belonging to one of the regiments garrisoning at Fingho. At a constitution held the brothers were asked to lead a body of their fellow villagers who had determined to wreck summary vengeance on their unwelcome visi tors. Accordingly 300 well-armed men surprised the pirates during the raging of the storm, in the early hours of the morning. The two pirate junks were surrounded. In another minute the two junks swarmed with the dark figures ol the villagers, who. midst the shouts of their comrades on the shore, burst open the hatchway and doors of the cabins and poured a stream of bullets upon the fifty or sixty pirates, who were huddled to gether for warmth tin the lower decks jf the junk. Thoroughly taken by surprise, hardly any resistance was made, all the pirates but two being al most hacked tnto mince-meat by the exasperated villagers, who had mi tiered so ofter before from pirates The two pirates who were not treat ed this way, however, were made away with in a different manner. It seemed that among the many vil lagars who liad been killed by the pirates on different occaaions there happened to be one who was a son of the partriach of the village, and at daylight the two pirates, escort, ed by the whole community, were led to the grave of the young man and, after being secured to a couple of stakes put up for the purpose, two of the nearest relatives of the dead man plunged their knives in to the breasts of the unlucky pi rates, and riping open their bodit s extracted their heaits, were then put, smoking hot, on a plate and placed on a table upon which were already lighted candles, and an in cense was burned. While nil this was going on the female relatives of the diseased, dressed in mourn ing colors of wtiite, were gathered by the side of the grave, crying and calling out to the spirit of t lie the dead to receive the sacrifice that waB being offered, as ven geance had been taken on his murderers. The offerings were then left at the grave at the end of the ghastly ceremonies and the vil lagers proceeded to ransack the junks after having first thrown the bodies overboard into the sea. The plunder from the junks, gold, sil ver, cash anil silks, satin and rice was th'-n equally divided among the families who had ever suffered at the hands of the pirates, and the the junks were burned to ihe water edge. The bodies of the two vic tims of the sacrifice were also thrown into the sea, while their hearts were afterwards cooked and eaten by the dead man's relatives or whoever desired to do so. FOREIGN.

SUICIDE IN MILWAUKEE. F. H. Tobey.a Former Nebras ka City Man Shoots Him self in the Temple. F. II. JTobey, a former citizen of Nebraska City shot himself in the temple latt Monday at a hording house iu Milwaukee, The first that anyone in this city knew of it was when n telegjam came to his sis ter, Mrs. George S. Miller, who lives at 023 Willow avenue. Tobey was here about two weks ago, and after visiting his sister and a younger brother, left lor Milwau kee. According to the information that has been received here it seems that Tobey had been drink ing heavily. He took the Keely cure at Blair about a ytar ago and later at I wight. 111. So far as known he did not indulge his taste fur in toxicants at all aftertli.it, ami when it was learned that he had been ar rested in Milwaukee ami fined fur drunnkuess, it was a great sur prise and shock to his friend here. He raised money enough to pay his tine by paw ning a tine diamond ring for $12. With what was left he bought a revolver and a box ol cartridges. Going to his room he locked himself in. A few minutes later a pistol shot was heard, and on breaking the door open Tobey was found laying across the bed with a bullet bole through his temple. A note was faund laying on. the table from which it was learned that Mrs. Miller of this citv was his sister. As soon as Mrs. Miller re ceived word of the sad event she wired her husband, who was in Minnesota, to look after the re mains, which will be taken east for burial. The dead man was engaged at one time in the manufacture of patient sidewalk stone blocks in Council Bluffs later on worked will ex-City Knjfiiu er Tostevin. He also formerly resided in Nebraska City The public will be glad to learn that Governor McKinley's personal friends have come to his rescue with a loan sufficient to pay in full every note on which he is indorsed and liquidate his entire indepted ness of every discription. "When every debt is conceled," says the Youngstowu capitalist who is authority for this gratifying an nouncement, "the property of tin governor and his estimable wife will be presented to them free of any lien, debt or incumbrance, and he will be in the same condition financially as he was prior to. hav ing signed any of the Walker pa per," It is especially gratifying to know that Mrs. McKinley's private fortune will not be sacrificed When the governor's embarrass inent was first made known she bravelv offered her property in liquidation of his liabilities and in si-ted iitmii its acceptance, al tlioughj friends protested. In an in stance of wifely devotion that aroused the admiration of the mi tion. Kvery American admires pluck, and all Americans, regard less of political belief, will view with genuine atis action the ex trication of the governor and Mrs McKinley from what seemed a hopeless financial entanglement.
