Assassination of Carey.

HIS RECOGNITION AND CONDUCT TOWN.

AT CAPE

The Cape Argus of July 31, gives some interesting dctails of the outward voyage of the “Kinfanns Castle” :—*‘A -felléw- passenger, named Williams, and one of the stewards of the ship, seem both to have been struck with the resemblance of the man to the pictures of Carey, which they had seen in the illustrated papers, and the fact that his family was of the same num- ber as Carey’s, and that the eldest boy answered to the description given of him jat the time when he appeared «sa witness |

‘in the Dublin trials, tended to con- fiom them in their saspicions, Be-) tween Madeira and this port the

steward and Williams made it their especial | ,buiness to find out conclusively »hether | the man was the notorious character they |believed him to be. They had plenty of opportunities for doing this, as Carey and bis wife freely indulged in liquor during ‘the voyage, and the secret was wormed out of the children without much difficu!ty, so \that a few days before the atrival of the |“ Kingfauns Castle” in Table Buy all doubt | was removed as to Mr. Power's identity. | He had an ualimited supply of ready cash, and his wife and children were treated to He said he}

‘anything they might desire. was a builder by trade and and was going to settle in Natal. One of the persons who was taken into the secret was O'Donnell.

| When told that Power was none other than

, Carey, he declared that if he were but sat-;

| isfied of the man’s identity, he would a—d.

;s00n let daylight into his vile carcass, and |

the ship seems to have arrived here before

his doubts on this point had been removed.

While the **Kingfauns Castle was in dock

Carey came on shore with his two eldest

boys, and while in town fell in with Wil-

-liams and another man who came out in

the ship, known as Scotty. Among other

places they visited was the City Hotel, on

Waterkant street, and while there an alter-

cation arose among them on political ques-

tions. Oarey said the English were a peo- ple far too base to live. -If he had his way, he said, he wonid exterminate every one of them. ‘‘Ireland- for the Irish, that’s my motto,’ he said. And what would they do with it!” retorted Scotty. ‘They

/ would eat one another up.” ‘‘Do you mean to say that they are ‘cannibals?’ roared Carey, and hiis hand was on the throat of Scotty, whom he would have choked but for the intervention of Williams. On Sat- urday morning. when the Argus appeared,

it was known all over town that Carey had

been recognized, and the newssoon spread over the ship. Williams was ashore about ten o'clock and procured a paper. When he got back to the ship Power asked him if he could let him see a copy of the Argus, ‘Williams ‘said he could, and watched him while he read it. He looked hurriedly through the paper until he came to what he required, read that, and then sat for some minutes with his hands covering his face. He asked permission — to take the paper to his wife, who was in the cabin, as there wassomething in it which he wished her to see. He returnedin a few minutes afterwards, saying that it was so dark in the cabin that he. gould not, ses ta read. “Hy subsequently asked for the loan of the paper a second a time, and is said) to have worn a very terrified appearance from the momént he knew that his indentity was. established. From what transpired in Cape

Town, O,Donnell seems to have been satis- ed astohis man that there could be no

doubt on the matter, he again vowed that

he would “‘ist daylight into him befor they

The Last of the Pirates.

One day a week or two ago Dr. Holden, of Newark, N. J., was waiking on the sands near the village of Beach Haven, and thence beheld a most mysterious cata strophe. The storm that had been previ- ously raging had gone down, but the swell had not subsided, running the usual moun- tains high. A brigantine, laboring heavily, yet with all sails set, appeared within a short distance of the Doctor’s point of observation. From her maintopmast the black flag was displayed, the pirate’s ensign of defiance, the same as Teach or Black- beard may have flaunted to the breeze in their roving days. But a short distance astern of this vessel a steamer was coming rapidly up as if to cut her down, Sud- denly the brigantine was lifted high npon a sea and the Doctor saw that her deck was crowded with mea. That was the last he beheld of her, as she went down bow fore. most to the bottom in a most unaccountable way. Nothing belonging to her floated ashore. The men, true pirate fashion, stuck to their ship to the last, and remained with her under some five or six fathoms of water. Scarce had she disappeared when the pursuing steamer reached the spot where she went down, slacked off steam for a few minutes, backed, then proceeded at full speed without noticing the spectator on the shore.

This excellent pirate story has led to many conjectures. A Frenchman writes that probat ly she had been despatched from Tenyuin to barass French commerce on the Atlantic, and carried the battle flag of her owners. QOthers maintain that she was a Fenian cruiser, though this seems improba- ble as such a terror of the seas would flaunt the green flag of Ireland. The New York Times is positive that the vision was due to the too free use of apple-jack, a most potent liquor known as Jersey lightning. It asks what particular brand the story-teller favors, evidently intending to use some of \it to inspire its political articles. The general opinion is that the doctor suffered an optical illusion. Some, however, admit that he did eee the vessel go down, and an old fishermen is ready to swear that he has rowed over the tips of ber masts fifteen feet under water. He thinks, however, the flag was blue, not black, and was one of distress, and that the speed of the steamer was due to the anxiety of her commander to help his brother omariners. Out of these

conjectures there should surely be one to We believe it was a, bloody and uring pirate, and that the skull add crossbones were on her ensign, although’ Dr. Holden, who bears a hgh character for veracity, does not say So. A pirate ship on the Jersey coast in 1883 seems out of place, yet ia this doubting age it is good to find an opportunity for being credulous. Our coasters should at any rate arm themselves, lest the pirate wight have sent a cosort to there latitudes. From a well known valor of our seamen it would be expected that without a bloody struggie they would not be robbed of a single fish.

A Fanatic’s Crime.

Sylvester’ Knott, a well-todo farmer iving in a comparatively isolated spot on the banks of Lake Erie, near the city of Erie, has become a religious fanatic. Some months ago he attended a meeting of the Salvation Army at Franklin, where the first seeds of insanity were sown. Since then his brain has by degrees grown more and more inflamed, and now his frenzy knows no check. For two weeks past he has wandered up and down the lake shore de- claiming on’ salvation schemes, picturing the horrors of judgment day and calling npon sinners to worship God or be eter- Iie planted a large cross in the

son, believing the boy would be tormented

in hell fire forever unless he died the death

of mankind’s redeemer. With strength well nigh superhuman, Knott held the lad himly while driving a large pail through

ithe little fellow’s hands, unheeding his 'piteous cries for mercy. | work was interrupted by some woodeniters

The dreadful

who chanced tobe passing. Leaving his son hanging, the maniac fled, first striking down one ot his rescuers with a hammer, then leaping into the lake. A segareh for

‘his hiding place proved fruitless, and it was

thought he had been drowned, but such was not the case. About midnight the crazy fiend returned, smashed the door of the house and knocked Mrs. Kunett sensible at a single blow. Entering a

lii-

chainber in which his only, daughter,

| Minnie, a beautiful girl of seventeen, lay

sleeping, he bound her hand and foot and carried her to a lonely place in the forest;, where hundreds of cords of wood were piled) An altar was quickly built, and upon it the madnorn secured his child. *Even as Abraham did with Isaac, will I offer you asaburnt-offering unto the Lord,” chanted the maniac, setting the funeral pyreon fire. The climbiog flames soon licked the exposed limbs of the girl, whose shrieks of agony and prayers for a wore merciful death were musicto the madman’s ears. He implored the Almighty to aecept the sacrifive as atonement forthe sinful deeds committed by him in years long gune, and added fresh fuel to the aliar. But help arrived. in time to prevent, the con- summation -of the fearful design. Two young men crossing the woods on thcir way home from a party, saw a bright livht and heard the young lady's sireams. One feiled the denicnted sire, while the other scattered the ‘blazing . fagots and lifted the almost nude maiden from her’ fiery, bed. Miss Kuott.is.painfuliy burned about the lower extremities, and;there are large blisters on her shoulders, sides and ‘arms. So awful

\was her experience tht the doors of an

asylum may open to receive the daughter as weli as the father. She raves night and day, and it is feared her reason is per- manently dethroned.

Evglish Jomt Stock Companies.

Returns from England show that joint- stock companies with a capital of over $500,000,000 were organized in the United Kingdom during the last half year. | Elec- tric-light companies ave conspicuous in the list. A few banks with nominal large capitals were organized, among which were the Bank of Liverpool, $25,000,000, and Union Bank of London, $55,000,000, The total number of companies organized was 742, against 729 for the first six months of the year 1882, or a total for the whele year of 1471, | In 1881, there were 1833, with a nominal capital of $835,000,000. lnspeaking of these figures, the Juvestur’s Guardian says: ‘“‘Never before, since the Jvint-Stock Com- panies’ Act became law, have anything like the above figures been reached, bu: it will be uiderstood that, though £216,561,926 is is the evormous total of the nominal capital, subscriptions were not actually in- vited from the public for this amount, as in many cases there were first issues of only the moiety or even less of the share capi. tal. Moreover, we have reason to believe that in an unusually large number of in- stances the investing public decline to respond to the invitation of promoters, and the undertakings accordingly fell still-born, though there are unfortunately no data available from which to demonstrate the accuracy of this opinion. As in previous years also, directers have too often, doubt- les, been found ready to go to allotment with an amount of subscriptions in hand wholly inadequate to-carry out effectually the objects set forth in the prospectus, and the necessary result must sooner or later be disappointment and disaster to the shareholders.”
