Tha New York "rooters" had about given up hope after Tiernan and Ewing had been retired in the ninth, but dying hope revived when Ward hit safely to center, and by some fine running and sliding safely to third. Big Roger Connor stood at the plate, and with a mighty swipe of his muscular arras sent the ball hissing past second, sending Ward in with the tieing run. Such cheering as followed has seldom been equaled, the crowd actually going crazy with excitement. After ten minutes of this the game was resumed.

He cut me on the right cheek, the scar from which still remains, as you will see. He was told to kill me by August Plngge, a fireman. When Davis began to cut me some of my companions caught him, but others shouted, "Kill him! Kill him! We want something to eat! We are starving!" It seems that Plagge, Davis and others in one end of the boat had decided that I should dio, as I suppose. Being pretty fat I looked inviting. Plagge was placed on watch that night, but he was missing next morning. No ono saw him go overboard. Attempted Murder. ' President Harrison has granted an absolute pardon to George C.

Than the cook strippod the flesh from the ribs. The next day this flesh in strips was placed on top of the watertight compartments and dried in the sun. After taking out Robinson's liver, heart and other parts which would" furnish blood to be sucked, we threw his mutilated body into the sea.

Our intentions and our sole ambition is to always give you the very LOWEST PRICES for CASH. Good goods you can not do The story told by the officers of the Galena regarding the riot is much the same as that already published. One of them said, however, that the white bosses practiced great brutality against the negroes. When the Galena arrived at Navassa the British war vessel Forward was already there and had taken all the arms and ammunition away from the negroes. "Two days after Robinson died Third Engineer Thomas Hunt was found dead. Even in the agonizing condition we were, we hailed the death of the poor man with delight, for he, too, afforded us subsistence without recourse to murder, which would have been willingly done by several. Mr. Hunt's head was crushed in, but little nourishment was found in him. His blood was thick and too sluggish to yield freely to those who attempted to draw it from his skull. His body was also cut up. When it would yield no more nourish iug flesh it was throwp overboard.

Downs told a United Press reporter that the first shot was fired in the yard and that Smith fired it. He had directed Mr. Jones to take charge of James Phillips. The negro resisted, and Dr. Smith fired a load of birdshot into his face. This was the beginning of the fight. The white (nen ran to the house, locked themselves up and continued to shOot, the negroes returning the fusillade with stones. Finally Amos Lee resorted to the use of dynamite. Downs gays it was Keys Who killed Mahon. This was after th« Whites had surrendered. He saw Keys shoot Mahon iu the Uaok and in the forehead.
