Cruelty On Shipboard
Mate Rich on Trial for Causing a Sailor's Death. Three sailors went to Commissioner Shields yesterday to testify
against Albert M. Rich, mate of the Robert L. Belknap, accused
of so brutally beating and starving James Peterson, one of the
crew, as to cause his death. Rich is a big man, powerfully built,
and seemingly all bone and muscle.
Carl Eisenger told how the ship sailed from San Francisco Nov.
18, 1886, and reached Liverpool March 20, this year. When they
reached the other side they complained to the American Consul;
their depositions were taken, and Rich was ordered to be arrested
on his return to the United States. Eisenger said that the work
Peterson did was all that could be expected of one man. Rich
began his brutality as soon as the Belknap left San Francisco.
He struck all the men at all times and without any provocation.
He hit them with his fist or a rope or a belaying pin or whatever
was nearest at hand. He seemed to do it for sport. Some of the
men became sick through the beatings they received and because
they were weakened by insufficient food. There was no particular
insubordination that called for severe punishment and there was
plenty of food to give the crew. "After we had been out about
three months," said Eisenger, "and after I had heard
the mate say that he would kill Peterson before he got to Liverpool,
I
saw Rich hit Peterson with a belaying pin. He hit him a fearful
blow on the back of the head and cut it open in three places.
The blood flowed in streams and covered the deck. Peterson fell
insensible. Twenty hours later he died."
Testimony was given to show that the Captain refused to interfere
to prevent the mate's cruelty and the hearing was adjourned until
tomorrow.

Notice To Mariners.
New-York Lower Bay-Bell Buoy Placed to Mark Wreck.
The wreck of the bark Quickstop lies heading
N.W., and with her rail about awash on the edge of the West Bank,
New-York Bay, about 500 years to the southward of Buoy No. 11.
The position of the stern is given by the following bearings,
viz.: Fort Tompkins Light, N. ½ W.; Coney Island Tower, E.N.E.
A bell buoy, painted black, has been placed in four fathoms
of water about 150 yards S.S.E. ½ E. from the stern of the wreck.
At present all the spars of the wreck are standing, and she is
not dangerous in clear weather.
By order of the Lighthouse Board.

A Steamship Ashore
Halifax, Nova Scotia, May 25.-The steamship Genrath, Capt. Storey,
from Coosaw, S.C., for the United Kingdom, arrived at Sydney,
Cape Breton, yesterday, received a supply of coal and sailed
this morning. During a thick fog she grounded on Low Point, Tugs
are at work trying to pull her off. Caught At Last By Measles.
Columbia, S.C., May 25.-Amy Avant, a colored woman on the plantation
of Major James Reaves, in Marion County, died yesterday of measles
at the advanced age of 122 years. She was remarkably well preserved
and retained all her faculties up to the time of her fatal illness,
previous to which she claimed that she had never taken a dose
of medicine. During the last cotton-picking season she took her
place regularly in the cotton fields and always performed a good
day's work. Her age is well attested by family records.
Union Veterans In Canada.
Ottawa, May 25.-Two hundred Canadian veterans who participated
in the late American civil war will hold a meeting here shortly
for the purpose of organizing an association. If regulations
will permit, the proposed organization will simply be a part
of the Grand Army of the Republic. The prime mover in the scheme
is a French Canadian named Therien, who served on board the Union
flagship when the rebel ram Albemarle was sunk. Nearly all the
veterans reside in this city or vicinity. They propose to display
their loyalty by marching in procession here on Dominion Day,
wearing at the same time a distinctive badge commemorative of
the late civil conflict.
Daly Far Ahead Of Sexton.
Washington, May 25.-Playing was resumed to-night in the six
days' billiard match between Messrs. Daly and Sexton. The attendance
during the evening was small and little enthusiasm was displayed.
Neither player made any remarkable runs and the game lagged until
the eightieth inning, when Daly's score reached the limit-300
to 129 points for Sexton. The total for the three nights thus
stands: Daly, 900; Sexton, 500. Daly's highest run for to-night
was 25 and Sexton's 23.

The Queen Has Left Us.
Queen Kapiolani and her party sailed for Liverpool yesterday
morning on the Anchor steamship City of Rome.
The royal party took a very early breakfast at the Victoria Hotel
and shortly after 6 o'clock were on the deck of their steamer.
On reaching the vessel her Majesty declined to go at once to
stateroom No. 28, which had been set apart for her use, and,
calling for a steamer chair, she watched from the deck the busy
scene which preceded the departure of the big steamer.
Princess Lilinokalani occupied stateroom No. 38, and No. 43
was reserved for Gov. Iaukea and Col. Boyd. Commodore Berkley
and wife, Hawaiian Consul Allen and wife, and Edwin H. Low were
among those who took leave of the Queen on board the vessel.
The City of Rome backed out into the stream
at 7 o'clock. Among her other passengers were Gen. Stewart L.
Woodford, Mme. Helene Hastreiter, Signor del Puente, Mme. Trebelli,
the Rev. W.H. DePuy, Gen. Charles S. Bentley, Gen. A.L. Chetlain,
the Hon. T.R. Jones, Judge J.W. Ferris, Major J.A.F. Snead, the
Hon. Edward Stanley, the Hon. Lewis Pugh, the Hon. Thomas H.
Dudley, and Dr. E.L.M. Bristor.
Exciting Spring Games.
A.A. Jordan Fails to Break The 100 Yards' Record.
The eleventh annual picnic and field day of the Pastime Athletic
Club at the Empire City Colosseum yesterday was very successful
from a sporting standpoint, but was attended by scarcely 200
people. The track was an earthen one, and owing to the light
shower during the forenoon was very heavy. Otherwise all conditions
were favorable.
The programme of athletic events opened at 3:30 o'clock with
a 220 yards' run, which was won by A. Brown, P.A.C., in 0:24½,
with S. Wright, W.S.A.C., a good second. A one-mile running race
was won in 4:59 2-5 by Stewart Barr, B.A.A., with T.A. McNally,
P.A.C., second. A 400 yards' run trial heats, best two in three,
was won by I.J. Coe, Englewood Athletic Club, in 0:56½. A handicap
one-mile walk resulted in a victory for W. Burhard, P.A.C., W.
Berrian, B.A.A., second. Time-7:35 2-5. A half-mile handicap
run was won by E. Hickey, W.S.A.C., in 2:07½. J.S. Appleby, M.A.C.,
made a very fair second.
This was followed by a high-jumping contest, handicapped. The
winner was M.O. Sullivan, P.A.C., with a record of 5 feet 5½ inches;
D.P. Sullivan was second. The next event was a two-mile run,
also handicapped, which was won by E.C. Carter, N.Y.A.C., in
10:01 1-5; P.D. Skellman, M.A.C., scored second. An impromptu
440 yards' race was won by L. Openheimer, A.A.C., and L.J. Coe
second. Time- 0:55.
The feature of the day was the attempt of A.A. Jordan, New-York
Athletic Club, to break the world's record for 100 yards over
eight 3½ foot hurdles. The track was very heavy and soft, but
considerably down grade, while the standing record of 14 2/5
seconds was made on a level cinder path in midsummer. Jordan's
effort yesterday failed to break the record, but he came very
close to it in 14½ seconds.
The remainder of the day was devoted to dancing and other amusements. |

Collisions In The Fog.
A Steamer Damaged, A Schooner Dismasted, And A Bark Sunk.
The steamship Wyanoke, of the Old Dominion
Line, which sailed for Richmond Tuesday, came in collision with
the schooner Penobscot below the Scotland Lightship
the same evening during the fog. The schooner was dismasted and
the Wyanoke's starboard wheel was badly injured. After laying
by her until morning the Wyanoke towed the schooner into port.
The Penobscot was bound for this port with lumber, and was commanded
by Capt. Carter.
According to the officers of the steamship she was sounding
her fog signals, while the schooner was making none. Chief Officer
Leland, of the Wyanoke, had one of his ribs broken. The steamer's
freight and her passengers, 50 in number, were transferred to
the Seneca, of the same line, which sailed yesterday afternoon.
It will take two weeks to repair the injured wheel of the Wyanoke.
The steamship which ran down the bark Quickstep in
the Lower Bay during the fog Tuesday was the Ludwig Holberg,
which was bound from this port for Baracoa. She kept on her course.
Capt. Morrison and the crew of the Quickstep stood by the wreck
in a small boat for several hours yesterday.
The bark Roland, which recently arrived from
Pernambuco and was at anchor off Red Hook Tuesday night, was
run into during the fog by an unknown sand schooner. Neither
vessel was seriously injured. |

The Ocean Disaster.
(see the full account with pictures) It was stated at the White Star office yesterday that the official
list of those killed in the Celtic-Britannic collision
contained only three names-Jane Robinson, James Timbury, and
James Greenalch. It had been understood that Adam Johnson, a
Swedish immigrant, was among the killed, but he turned up yesterday
morning at the White Star offices and most emphatically asserted
that he was not dead. He secured a passage on the Arabic,
which sails on Saturday.
An official inquiry into the disaster will be made at the British
Consulate in a few days. The findings of this court, together
with the sworn statements of the two Captains, will be forwarded
to the British Board of Trade. The work of repairing the bows
of the injured steamship Celtic was continued
yesterday, and the agents think that she will not be delayed
more than one trip. The Britannic is being unloaded
and will probably be ready to go on the dry dock to-morrow. A
number of her passengers and many persons who were to have gone
on the Celtic sailed yesterday on the Anchor
steamship City of Rome. |

The Elm-Street Extension.
The Board of Street Opening will hold a meeting in the Mayor's
Office to-morrow at 2 P.M. The widening and extension of Elm-street
will be dicussed.[sic] If Elm-street is extended it is quite probable
that Centre-street also will be extended at the northern end. A
canvass of the property owners interested in the matter was recently
made, and revealed the fact that little more than $200,000 is represented
as being against the project, while people representing millions
of dollars are for it.
War With The Canadian Pacific
Chicago, May 25.-The Canadian Pacific has not only succeeded in
getting the bulk of the sugar traffic from San Francisco to St.
Paul and other Eastern points which it is able to reach, but has
lately been taking large shipments to Omaha via the Manitoba and
the St. Paul and the Omaha Roads. The regular transcontinental
lines at first made a rate from San Francisco to Omaha of $1.25
per 100 pounds, but owing to the Canadian Pacific's competition
reduced the rate to 75 cents per 100 pounds. The Canadian Pacific
then made a rate of .65 cents and managed to keep the business.
The direct lines are now determined to force the Canadian Pacific
out of the traffic, and to-day put a new tariff in effect, making
the rate on sugar from San Francisco to Omaha 60 cents, or 5 cents
less than the rate by the Canadian Pacific.

Mount Olivet Church Jubilee
The members of Mount Olivet Baptist Church, 161 West Fifty-third-street,
held a grand jubilee last evening, in celebration of the acquirement
of the title to their handsome house of worship. Mount Olivet is the
leading colored religious society of the city, and the wealth and fashion
of the colored residents of New-York were thickly gathered there.
The Rev. D.W. Wisher, Pastor of the church, presided. The exercises
consisted of the presentation of the deed by James Pyle, President
of the Board of Trustees, of the Southern New-York Baptist Association,
and its reception by Thomas H. Wood, President of the Board of Trustees
of Mount Olivet Church; reading of the deed by J. Arthur Barrett, Secretary
of the church Board of Trustees; report of J.F. Comey, Treasurer of
the church, which showed a flattering financial condition; congratulatory
address on behalf of the City Mission by the Rev. J.F. Elder, D.D.,
and addresses by the Rev. R.S. MacArthur, D.D., and other distinguished
clergymen. There was also very fine singing by the choir.
New-Jersey
Frederick Kull, who flattened a ball against the forehead of his sweetheart,
Julia Miller, in Jersey City, two weeks ago, was formally held for
trial by Justice Stilsing yesterday in $1,000 bail. Charles Carter, the colored man who was accidentally shot in Larkin's
shooting gallery, on Newark-avenue, Jersey City, early yesterday morning,
by Richard Wallace, a colored friend, died before sunrise. Wallace
has not yet been arrested.

The family of Francis Biddle, of Philadelphia, a Princeton
graduate of the Class of '75, who recently died, have just given
through Dr. McCosh a sum of money as a memorial. The Faculty, with
the concurrence of the family, have decided to appropriate $25 of
the interest as an annual prize in the department of English Literature
for the best essay by any member of the Sophomore Class.
Six physicians on the Jersey City Hospital staff have resigned
and forwarded their resignations to the Police Board. They are
Drs. T.F. Morris, B.A. Watson, J.W. Hunt, J.H. Vondy, A.A. Lutkins,
and S.R. Foreman. The cause of their action is the interference
of the Police Board in increasing the staff by the appointment
of Drs. P. Hummel, I.N. Quimby, W.W. Varick, S.N.W. Stout, J.D.
McGill, J. Craig, J.H. Bird, and J.H. Finnerty. By the resignation
of the physicians, only two of the old board remain, Drs. Varick
and Reeve. The Police Board meets next Tuesday night, when action
will be taken upon the resignations.
New-York
The committee of Irish societies has engaged passage for William O'Brien
on the Adriatic, which sails hence June 8. At the Custom House yesterday John Hanifin, of New-York, was
made a gauger's laborer with pay at the rate of $2.50 a day.
The steamship State of Georgia, which arrived
yesterday from Glasgow, brought, among other passengers, Robert

A great cricket tournament, in which clubs from New-York, Boston,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburg
will participate, is to be held in Pittsburg on June 20 and 21.
Mate A.M. Rich, accused of so brutally treating James Peterson,
a sailor on the Robert L. Belknap, as to cause
his death, was locked up in Ludlow-Street Jail yesterday, in
default of $5,000 bail, to await trial.
The steamship Britannic was still unloading
her cargo at the White Star dock yesterday. She will probably
go on the dry dock to-day. The agents expect that the work of
repairing her and the Celtic will be pushed
forward so rapidly that only one trip will be lost.
The State Line steamship State of Pennsylvania,
which sailed yesterday for Glasgow, had as passengers the Hon.
H.B. Shaw, of Kingston, Jamaica; Dr. John L. Hayes, C.P.T. Kellogg,
P.H. Fortheringham, the Rev. William B. Affleck, William Moore,
and Charles J. Kensit.
The Brooklyn City Railroad began yesterday and nearly completed
a new road along Thirty-eighth-street, starting near the new

The annual water famine scare made its appearance
in Brooklyn yesterday, and Chief Engineer Van Buren made it a pretext
for a report urging the extension of the new water works system.
In this report the engineer finds that the consumption of water
on
Monday last was 50,203,000 gallons, an increase of 4,293,000 gallons
over the same day last year, and of 6,793,000 gallons over the
same day in 1885.
The New-York Electrical Society decided at a meeting on Wednesday
to give an electrical exhibition next Fall in the Exhibition
Hall of the American Institute. The exhibition, which will
be the first of the kind that has been held in New-York, will
include all the applications of electricity. The American Institute
of
Electrical Engineers has assured the society of its co-operation
and support in the matter. The spars of the schooner Penebscot, which
were lost in the collision with the steamer Wyanoke on
Tuesday, drifted inside the Hook with the tide yesterday and
lay in a dangerous position for passing vessels between the point
and the Southwest Spit until a tug secured them and towed them
to the Government dock.
Among the passengers of the French steamship La Bourgogne,
which arrived yesterday from Havre, were Capt. Stone, Chester
Hasbrouck, A.G. van Hoorebeck, T. Bailey Myers, Clapham Pennington,
Constantino Conti, and Sisters Ernestine du St. Sacrement and
Dorothée Marie. The steamship brought 113,960f. in specie.
