Hlame for the Accident to the ColrmbU
Laid ou the Commander's Shoulder * .
WASHINGTON , June 19. Secretary Her
bert has written a letter to Captain George
W. Summer , commanding the Columbia , in
regard to the grounding of that vessel. In
which he says :
The department regrets that it is com
pelled to fully concur In the opinion of the
court of Inquiry , that it was the duty of tha
commanding officer to have been on the
bridge when the vessel was pas
sing Bulkhead shoals , and that It
was also . his duty to have
caused the speed of the vessel to be reduced
at that time. The speed over the bar where
the Injury Is found to have occurred ought
to have been slower , and especially when the
fact Is considered that with the water she
carried in her double bottom at the time
there was very small margin of safety.
"In view , however , of the recommenda
tion of the court that no further proceedings
be had , the matter will be regarded as
closed with your acknowledgment of the re
ceipt of this communication. Very respect
fully , H. A. HERBERT ,
Secretary of the Navy. "

rie * the Day ,
NEBRASKA CITY. June 19. { Special
Telegram to The Bee. ) Judge Chapman
rendered the decision In the Corbttt -
Bonacum case this morning. The decision
Is voluminous and makes the Injunction
perpetual. The following extract was en
tered In the docket , the Judge retaining the
copy of the decision to make a few COTCO
tlons :
"The court finds upon the evlJenee that
the defendant wrongfully usurps the rights
of parish priest In the mission r.f Palmyra
and that he forcibly and violently denies
plaintiff the use and enjoyment ut luc i-nmc ;
that the plaintiff holds the fee to tie
realty and property ot said parish aJ has
the right to occupy and use the came , and
that the defendant Is a wrong-do r Insofar
as he denies plaintiff and his appalatee ,
Joseph A. Smith , the use of the same , and
sild Injunction Is made perpetuil to the
extent of forbidding defendant from -'tcr-
Ing the church property of said mUslon for
the purpose of Interfering with pialn-lff's
control over the same. "
As soon as the decision had been read
Corbett's attorney excepted and was c'ven
forty days to file exceptions upin giving a
bond for J500.
The suit brought by Blhop Bonacum to
restrain Father Corbett from drawing money
from the Palmyra bank belonging to the
church , but deposited to Corbett's credit ,
came up this afternoon and the result is a
grain of comfort to Father Corbett. Cor
bett's attorney stated that the money had
been collected to pay a church debt and was
deposited to the credit of Father Corbett as
priest In charge of the parish , as other money
had been. He had not used a cent of It and
did not intend to. The money was there.
The bishop could have It whenever he asked
tor It , which he never had.
Judge Chapman at once made the Injunc
tion restraining Corbett from drawing the
money permanent and assessing the costs
to the bishop.
Speaking of the Judge's decision In the
first injunction case Father Corbett said : "I
was prepared for It. Truth will prevail In
the end. The case will be appealed to the
supreme court at once. "
The suit In ejectment has , upon motion
of the plaintiff , been postponed until Friday.

vegetables are needing rain very badly.

Rapids and vicinity this morning , and the
drouth , which has prevailed for several
weeks , is broken , and prospects seem favor
able for more rain. Most of the small grain
In this Immidlate vicinity cannot be helped
by this rain , as It is dried up already , but
corn has been doing nicely , and mcst farmers
say that they never had a better stand. This
rain will almost assure a corn crop.

ited by a very fine rain , which soaked the

SHIP'S CREW MUTINIED
Captain Wilcox of the British Bark Internes
Placed in Irons.
CONFINED WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DYING
Srcontl .Mat * and Carpenter the Only One *
of ( he Crew Who Wrr Loyal to the
t'uptiln Crw SAJ- * the Captain
Wa a Tyrant.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 19. The British
bark Inveruce , Captain Wilcox. arrived to
day , sixty days from Newcastle , N. S. W. .
with a most remarkable story of mutiny and
crime. Just before the vessel left Newcastle -
castle a man calling himself Dr. Armltasre
applied for passage for himself and wife to
San Francisco. Captain Wilcox gladly took
them on board , as his own wife needed the
services of a physician. About two weeks
at sea Mrs. Wilcox gave birth to a child , and
Armltage officiated as surgeon. He used In
struments In such a manner that the child
died , and the captain , seeing that he was un
skilled , ordered him away from his wife.
Armitago appealed to the crew , telling them
that hte captain was killing his wife. The
crew , led by the mate , mutinied , and the cap
tain , after being drugged , was locked up.
He managed to get out Just in time to see
his wife die. Several times he was confined by
the crew , but he managed to break out. Ar-
mltage's real name Is Eustace Alexander.
He Is said to have deserted his wife In Syd
ney and fled to Newcastle with another
woman , where they boarded the Inveruc * .
The bark , crew and passengers are now In
the custody of the port warden , and the
police made arrests this afternoon.
CAPTAIN WILCOX'S STORY.
Captain Wilcox gave the following account
of the troubles on board his ship : "While
the ship was lying at Newcastle , N. S. W. ,
my wife suggested that she come to San
Franclfco on the Marlposa and 1 could Join
her on ray arrival. I accordingly wrote to
my brother In Tacoraa. and he was to come
to me t her. Before sailing time , however ,
Armitace came to me with a letter of in
troduction from agents of the ship and I
agreed to take him and his wife , whom he
described as a 'trained nurse. ' After we
got out a few weeks I found that the first
mate during the time he was on watch was
talking to Mrs. Armltage. and when he was
off watch he spent most of his time In her
cabin. This was going on when Armltage
would be asleep on deck. I spoke to the
mate , telling him that when he was off
watch he could do as he pleased , but when
he was on duty he must attend to his work
and do what he was paid for. Then the
trouble began. The mate and Armltage got
the crew to side with them , and the only
men I could depend upon were the second
mate and carpenter. Things got so that I
had to put some of the men in irons. Af
fairs were in this uncomfortable shape when
my wife was taken sick on Friday , the Sth
ir.su She was not very bad. but grew worse
up to Saturday afternoon. On Sunday mornIng -
Ing I sent for Arraltage again at the wishes
of my wife. He came , and said he would
operate on her. When I saw him handle
the instruments 1 knew he was no doctor.
My wife was then under chloroform , and I
could do nothing. Then he began to butcher
her , and finally he gave it up and said there
was no hope. I was almost fainting , so
one of them gave me a small glass of
brandy. Whether It was drugged or not I
don't know , but I do know that after drinkIng -
Ing It I was a raving maniac.
CAPTAIN IN IRONS.
"When I came to myself I was In Irons ,
cooped up in the forecastle. This was on
Monday , the llth Inst. In the afternoon
they brought the body of the dead baby
to the door and held It up at the grating
for me to look at. A few hours later they
dropped it overboard. All this time my
wife was dying and they would not let me
out. With the aid of the carpenter I man
aged to break Jail and made a rush for the
cabin where my wife lay. They Jumped on
me , acting on the mate's orders , and I was
put in a straight Jacket. I worked out of
the straight Jacket and with the aid of tae
second mate got out again. This time four
men caught me and the mate Jumped on
me and again I was Ironed. On the morn
ing of last Saturday they came to me and
said that If I would forgive them and prom
ise to make no report against them they
would let me out. I agreed and at 10 a. m.
they set me at liberty. I at once went to my
poor wife. What they had done to her while
1 was away I don't know , but when I reached
her she was unconscious. At 6:30 : Saturday
night she died. The men have got up all
sorts of stories , but what I tell you Is the
plain and unvarnished truth. "
The sailors , headed by the first mate.
have drawn up a series of charges against
the captain , .which they 'say they will lay
before the British consul. They say that
he drank to excess during the voyage and
abused them on various occasions. Second
Mate Jones Is equally positive , however ,
that there Is not one word of truth In the
charges. The autopsy at the morgue this
afternoon upon the body of Mrs. Wilcox
showed that peritonitis caused death. Th
coroner will have a microscopical examina
tion made to ascertain the extent of the
malpractice and an Inquest If decided upon
will be held Thursday afternoon. Alexander ,
or Armitage , as he now claims himself , was
never a doctor , but worked in a cigar store
in Melbourne. He and the woman with him
are under surveillance of the police pend
ing the result of the Inquest.
