Afterthe whaling vessel had been some days at sea the captain developed such terriblo temper and abused his men so badly that three of tliem ran away in a small boat One of thorn was Walter and another was a negro. The men went away without any provider, and, as a result, in a few days became d sperately hungry. Finally the pangs of hunger became ■ o unbearable that the two white men concocted a plot to kill the negro an 1 eat him. They carried out the first part of the arrangement, and subsisted on humatt Asian for several day*,'.when finally rescue 1 by a passing vessel. When Walter returned to his father's home some yoars afterward he dotailed the horrible story, and laid that no fcpd«V£r tasted so good as did that negro's flesh.

The chairman of this couferenco commit too, William Anderson, then suggested that the bosses name a date between the above date and 1st pf Mar Hi wlion they would accede to our demands.

In the face of theso facts it became necessary for this body to furnish proofs that stich a proposition had been made, which was done by the seven men on the conference committe making affidavits to'thut-effect, and the same were brought before the boss masons at their meeting last week.

Mr. Doughtie dismounted and succeeded in loosening the mad mule's hold, but no sounei was this done than the infuriated beast turned upon the owner, who had fled for his life, pursued by the mule. There was a desperate race of a quarter of a mile through undergrowth, and Mr. Doughtie only sayed himself by dodging around saplings. A small stretch of clearing intervened between the woods unci the house, and the terrified men took a life-uuddeath chance on making it Before leaving the woods the mule had bitten out a piece of Mr. Doughtie'sooat, and, while maneuvering around the tree, the animal bit himself savagely in several places, tearing oat a mouthful of flesh each time.
