Autericstai4lalipn) Ayr:voted for tilurder
on the - nigh seas.
In Deeember, 1867, the bark Java, commanded '
by Capt. Charles Kempton, left Massachusetts on
a whaling voyage to the South . Polar Sea. A.
the Cape 'Verde Islands the Captain added nine
POrtuguese sailors to his crew, and sailed for the
Indian Ocean.' The men now under arrest say
that, in visiting another ship, one of the Portu
guese Was aecidentally drowned, which displeased
the captain so greatly that he placed another of
the crew, whom he chose to hold responsible for
the death of the lost sailor, in irons for 48 hours.
This conduct, and the captain's alleged
refasal to furnish good provisions, and
the abusive conduct of the third mate,
provoked the rest of the crew so much that they
resolved to be revenged. A number of them
armed themselves with bludgeons and firewood
bloeke,caught the third mate as he came from his
Otliers, and best him so unmercifully on the
head that he expired in a few hours. Bates, the
firet mate, attempted to protect his brother offi
cer, but was so severely injured that his recovery
is doubtful. The chief actors in this dreadful
tragedy James W. Robinson James Canning,
Benjamin Harrison, William J. Parker, Benja
min Sefton, and John Brute°, then deserted the
ship in a whaling boakand rowed direct for Ti
moro,taking with them a small amount of food.
After being at sea six days their provisions gave
out, and they had to work for the three follow
ing days without food. Arriving at Timore,
which belongs to the Datch and Portnguese,they
were in a pitiable plight. Some hospitable Dutch
families discovered them lying on shore, gave
them temporary relief, purchased their boat for
120 roupees, and despatched them to Deli, the
chief city of the Island. On their arrival there
they stated that they were shipwrecked mariners;
but & Portuguese Revenue officer, doubting their
veracity, persuaded them to go to Java in a
steamer. Raving landed at. Java they wore ar
rested by order of the American Consul, and
placed in prison in Sore, a town in the bay of
Java. Sere they remained for five months; and
they assert that Brake died from ill-treatment
and exposure in damp cells. Prom Sore they
were transmitted to Batavia and put on board
the Russian bark' view Orleanet, for conveyance
to New. York, on the 28th of last November. The
bark put in at Padang, in the Island of Sumatra,
the men were imprisoned for a month. while the
vessel' wart taking in cargo. The Now Orleans
arrived at this port yesterday, having the men
on board in good health. They were sent to the
Ludlow street prison pending their trial for the
murder of the first and third mates.
The men have received excellent characters
from their own captain, as well as from the cap
tain or officer of the bark New (Mesas. They
are all young, and while admitting that "two of
their crowd killed their mates, refuse to divulge
the names of the murderers. They complain of
the harsh treatment they received on board their
vessel and while in jail, and seem eager to have
their case disposed of.— Tribune.
WE $20.000 BOND BODBEBY IN
/MENTON, N. .1,
Arrest 01 Two Parties by the De
tective•.
The N. Y. Herald of to-day says :
It will be remembered that on the 30th of last
October seven $l,OOO bonds on the Central Pa
cific Railroad and nine $l,OOO bonds on the Union
Pacific Railroas were stolen from the residence
of Dr. McKelv4y, of Trenton, N. J. As soon
as the robbery was discovered circulars de
scriptive of the bonds were sent to the various
cities of the United States and the Canadas.
The detectives of this city, under the direc
tion of Chief Kelso, immediately went to work
to ferret out the Whereabouts of the thieves and
the bonds, but, notwithstanding all their efforts,
they mere unsuccessful In their search until yes
terday, when a certain Wall street broker offered
three of the' bonds for sale to Fisk do Hatch.
This firm, on examining the bonds, at once per
ceived that they were of the number that bed
been stolen from Dr. McKelvey, and thereupon
sent for Detectives Coyle and Irving of the
Central Police Office. On the arrival of
the detectives the broker who had' offered
the bonds for sale explained that he had
received the bonds from another broker
named John 'Herrick, and that the latter was
patiently awaiting his return to his office in
order to receive the proceeds of the sale. The
di3teclives at once proceeded to Mr. Horrick's
office, when they introduced themselves in the
usual fashion. That gentleman seemed some
what surprised at the visit of the duo,tint aseorted
that he was not aware at the time the bonds came
into his possession that they had been stolen from
any pertain, doctor or otherwise. He stated that
four or five days ago a man named William
Meyer called upon him and asked him if he
could not dispose of some bonds for him, and
yesterday three $l,OOO bonds inclosed in an
envelope were left addressed to him at 79 Cedar
street. The detectives, without more ado,
arrested Mr. Herrick, and soon afterward suc
ceeded in getting hold of Meyer, whom they
locked up at Police Headquarters. Whether or
not Mr. Herrick is guilty of receiving the bonds
and attempting to dispose of them, kno wing that
they were of the number advertised as having
been stolen from Dr. McKelvey, is a question
which will be decided in a pollee court to-day.
Return of a Comet
The London Daily News of April 21 says;
"During the last taw weeks astronomers - Wave
been on the lookout for the return of one of
those periodical comets whit% forms° to speak,
a part of the solar family. The brilliant comets
wbich•come to ns from out the depths of space,
and after blazing in our skies for a greater or less
Interval, pass away again into those same un
fathomed abysses, are, by comparison,mere occa
sional visitors. But there is a set of small comets
which regularly, and at short intervals, return to
our neighborhood; and the ono we are now deal
ing with belongs to this class. News haajrust come
from a foreign observatory that the wanderer has
been discovered. He is now traversing the in
conspicuous constellation of the Hunting Doge,
bat is as yet far too faint to be seen without a
powerful telescope. Even the possessor of such
a telescope would find it difficult to discover the
comet were not its place accurately Indicated•
since In the neighborhood of its path the myste
rious nebula are spread with unusual profusion.
On this account it may be well for those who wish
to examine the new-corner to wait until Mr.
Bind, who has long been recognized as the lead
ing English authority in matters cometic, has
marked out for the stranger the path which it
shall follow across the skies.
"The comet which has just returned is com
monly called Winnecke's comet, having been dis
covered by that astronomer in 1858. It must not
be confounded, however, with a comet of the
same name which returned last year. The latter
was one of much longer period, and quite differ
ent in character. The present one travels on
in five and a half years round the BIM. It as
described in 1858 as having at first 'the app ar
ye
once of an undefined nebula, the light mos in
tensein the centre, but no true nucleus to be
seen:' ater a well-marked nucleus made ha ap
pearance.
"It must have returned in 1863, but was not
then favorably placed for observation. Indeed,
a little consideration will show that a comet
traveling in a period of five and a half years can
only be well stink at alternate returns. If at uric
visit it le well placed in the nocturnal sky, at the
next the half year difference brings it on the
diurnal sky, and of course the light of the bIIII
blots out so faint an object, even when the most
powerful telescope is made use of. In this mat
ter of its period Winneeke's comet is not sie
gular. More than half of the comets of short pe
riods take about five years and a half in the per
foimunce of their circuit around the sun. The
citcumt-tat ce is well worthy of notice, and has a
1 ety let. resting int( rpretation. It arises from
the strange way in which the short-period comets
have been twisted into our neighborhood by the
planet Jupiter.
"This monstrous fellow goes on his rounds
like a gigantic policeman, and takes up comet
after comet, which but for him would have
passed far away from the neighborhood of the
sun. Bir John Herschel has related In lively
teims how Jupiter ill-treated Leach's comet, first
twisting it into the solar system, Buffering it to
go twice round the eon, and then unceremoni
ously twisting it out again, so that astronomers
have never seen It since. That was precisely the
Sort of treatment which gives to a comet a five
and a half year period or thereabouts. For a
comet 'which has thus been forced into
the s olar system must necessarily have
the moat distant part of its path
just outside the orbit of Mercury; and that being
am, the laws of ,planetary motion tell us its
period must be about five and a half years. The
worst of the matter is, that with an orbit so
placed a comet is all'ays,apt to be sent again
u tter n n eal ls a tra t hrin l d a ; !) W Y ll 3 oP UP t i h te j . Co i l e a t "re h t a u p rn p s en to eci th t e u
neighborhood of his , orbit, 'he will twist it out
ofits path tuitasily-its' the Great Eastern would
tow a cock-boat.' In' feet, the way in which
Jupiter treats the comical clouds which we call
comets merits for hint the - title of "cloud coin
peller."_which 'Berner gave to the Jupiter of
Mount Olympus.
"Altogether, wo may congratulate oumeives on
the safe return of the wanderer now visiting our
skies. For it hus happened, quite recently that
our astronomers bay., searched long and fruit
losely for one of the same family. We refer to
the tamous cornet named Biela,• the failure is that
case being peculiarly provoking, because the
comet had presented the strange spectacle of a
perfect division into two distinct parts, and as
tronomers were naturally anxious to know what
might be the results of this operation, after a
complete revolution of the twin system. The
present comet, though not quite so remarkable
an object, will doubtless attract a great deal of
attention. Mr. Huggins will probably obtain la
tereetlmg results by examining it spectroscopi
cally, and we have no doubt that it will not pass
away again into space withoat having taught us
some valuable lessons respecting cometic hark.
tudes."
A Lottery Story.
A Parts letter-writer tells this story:
"M. Brandimarte Saletti, Secretary of the Mu
nicipal Council at Florence, desired his head
clerk last Monday to purchase four lottery tickets
for him, the numbers of which he know were not
as yet sold, at £1 each, and accordingly handed
him a hundred franc note. The clerk, a most
trustworthy person. carefully folded the note and
placed it in his waistcoat pocket. Meeting a
'fiend on hie k way home, however, he utterly
lorgot the commiseion, till next morning, as he
pasted the lottery office, it recurred to him,
but, alas! it was too late; the numbers his em
ployer had desired him to purchase had been
bought up, and the list closed. On reaching his
office be found M. Beloit' absorbed in business,
and he determined to delay the confession of his
lapses of memory till after the drawing. fie
therefore dived into his own particular offiee,and
said nothing. M. Saletti, however, an inveterate
lottery-player, was on the alert, and at the exact
hour rushed to the nearest office, where the
pleasant spectacle greeted him of the four num
bers be had selected having won no less than
1,800,000 fr.
"Wild with delight, M. Saletti rushed home to
tall the glad news, and the frantic excitement of
the family can be conceived. On his way back
to the Hotel de Ville ho met the syndic of Flo
rence, M. Tertrzi, whose congratulations wore
most hearty ; then Count Cambray-Digny, the
Finance Minister, who ilia his best to cairn him,
end laughingly said, 'Only think of its being you
who thus help to empty the treasury.' Once in
his own office, he rang. More dead than alive,
appeared his head clerk. 'Give me quickly the
receipt,' asked M. Saletti. 'Hors, sir, are the
hundred francs.' 'What hundred franca?' De
what you will with me, sir; send me to the g yr
lows or to the guillotine, but I forget to buy the
tickets !' "

Destructive Fire In the Sixth Ward.
This morning about four o'clock a fire was dis
covered in a large five-storied brick structure,
located on Ledger Place, Second street, below
Arch, in the Sixth Ward. The fire broke out in
the fifth story, and through the exertions of the
firemen was eonfined to that apartment, although
considerable damage was done.
The building is of pressed brick, and is a very
substantial structure. It 18 100 by 75 feet and is
owned by Harvey & Ford. The loss by damage
to the building is estimated at $lO,OOO, and is
fully Insured in the Pennsylvania, Spring Garden
and other companies.
The first story Is unoccupied.
The basement, second and third stories are oc
cupied by Harvey & Ford, turners of ivory, bone
and hard wood. The stock was dathaged by
water. Loos estimated at $5,000. Fully insured
in the Royal and other companies.
The fourth story is occupied in part by B.
Hooley it Son, manufacturers of sewing silk.
The machinery and stock were injured by water.
The lose will not exceed $1,500, and is insured in
the Royal Firo Association andidutuaL The
other portion of the fourth floor was occupied by
S. b. White, nsa dental manufactory. The stock
was being removed to the ne* 4 establishment of
Mr. White, at Twelfth and Chestnut streets.

about $2,000. Fully insured.
The fifth story was occupied by William Mann
as a bindery and a first-class job printing office.
The bindery was located at the eastern end of the
building, and was supplied with all the necessary

of binding. Everything in the bindery was
destroyed. In the printing office there were
two Hoe cylinder and five Gordon presses, and
a large and very fine assortment of type of all
kinds of commercial job-work. The office had
only been in operation about two years, and
therefore the machinery and material were nearly
new. The type was either destroyed or ruined,
and the presses and other machinery were bad ly
damaged. The value of the machinery was $2O,
000, and of the stock, $lO,OOO. The insurances

OBITUARY.
The Don. Thomas Matey.
The Right Hon. Thomas Lefroy. late Chief
Justice of the Queen's Bench in Ireland, of whose
death the cable brings tts intelligence, was an
Irishman by birth, and a descendant on his
father's side of one of those French Huguenot
families which persecution drove into exile nearly
three ct flirt' les ago. Ho was educated at Trinity
College, Dublin, and was called to the Irish bar
in 1797. Distinguishing himself in his proles
mo, he was, in 1819. appointed a Bencher of
King's Inns, and In 1830 was elected a member of
Parliament for the University of Dublin, which
he continued to represent, in the Conservative
Interest, till 1850, when he was elevated to the
post of Baron of the Exchequer in Ireland. For
faithful service in this capacity he was, In 1852.
promovd to the Chief Justiceship of Ireland,
which office he held till 1866, when the infirmi
ties of age compelled him to retire. Unlike
Grattan, Flood, O'Connell, and other eminent
Irishmen of shining forensic talents, and re
markable ability as Parliamentary orators, his
sympathies were always on the Aide of the Gov
ernment, despite its persistent refusals to do jus
tice to Ireland, and ho received his reward in the
honors and emoluments that were from time to
time heaped upon him. He passes away not
leaving behind him the record of any noble deed
of patriotism to endear his memory to his coun
trymen. He had reached the advanced age of 9.1
