The Goodrich-Jones Fifth Assembly District Con- test—“‘Count the Big Man In’’—Prelimi- vary Examination Before Mayor Kalbfleisch. ‘The adjourned examination touching the question of the selection of testimony to be submitted to the Legislature in the matter of the contested seat in the Assemply by the candidates, W. W. Goodrich (republican) and W. C. Jones (democrat), was resumed yesterday afternoon, in the Common Council Cham- ver, before his Honor Mayor Kalbileisch, The first witness called was John Ash, a beardless youth, who boasts having polled his first vote last eiection, and “hangs around’? the corner of Myrtle avenue and Adelphi street. District Attorney Morris, who conducted the ex- amination for Mr. Goodrich, sought to obtain the admission of a note as evidence, conveyed by the witness from @ certain James Tully to George Cook, a canvasser at the polling place of the Third dis- trict, Twentieth ward, on the evening of the last election, tm which the canvasser was, asked to “count the big man in.” It was conceded that the individual alluded to is Mr. Jones, Mr. W. C, De Witt, who appeared in the interesteof Mr. Jones as counsel, objected to the admission of this note in evidence, inasmuch as it was not the original note, but purported to be @ copy thereof, and aiso contended that the witness was not com- betent to testify asto the contents of the written paper which he presented the canvasser, The Mayor remarked that it could be admitted, subject to the objection of counsel. The latter objected to enter- taining It at all as evidence, asthe admission thereof upon viis preliminary examination would be tanta- mount to an acknowledgment of its admissibility before the Legislature; it, would be like “shutting the stable’ door after the horse had gone down the lane.” The District Attorney beld that the admission of such testimouy as be proposed in producing the copy of the original note was in perfect accord witu all usage in the proceedings of courts, The question was dis- cussed at some length, when tt was entered on the minutes as tollows:— Q. Did you carry # message from James Tully to George Cook, at the Third district of the Twentieth ward on tke nigut of the 34 of November, belore ive close Of the poli, and while Mr. Cook was there en- gaged as canvasser? Objection entered and allowed. The Mayor inquired why the, partles who signed the copy Of the note were not subpanued as wit. nesses, as they would be competent to testify as to its correctness. The repiy was that it was not ne- cessary that they should go into tae enemy's camp for proof; that they wonid prove It by eye wit- nesses. Witness said that he took the message as it was written, between halt-past seven and eight o'clock, to the polling piace and gave it to Mr. Cook. Q What was the purport of that message and What reply dia he make? Objected to by Mr. De Witt, as the message shon!a reduced in order to prove what was its purport. The Mayor sustained the objection, ag eituer the parties who signed the copy should be present, or the message tiself should be oroduced. Tie testi- mony in this consection was ruled as incompetent. ‘The Mayor thought that the admission of this uote would afford ground for a donble conspiracy; itmay Rage beea taken up when the original was thrown , {he District Attorney aaid they proposed to show tit was in the original language of the message. fhe law did not require that they sheuld bring ove Of those present who bad signed the copy. une Witnew continued, in answer to a question :— When I handed Cook 'the message he took 1! ana SHIRL ear ea te boa and hauded it to the rca ~) wuring the cross-examinatios which he was subject by Mr. De Witt wicuens “hung around” the corngr of Adelphi street and Myrtle avenne; knew Mr. Tully, ‘Who is an employe of the Water Board; he (witness) nad never been election fraud case fore the Grand Jury. The District Attorney chyected to the “badgering” of the witness, Ash, by the coun- Sel for Jones, and caused the witness to remove his chatr, inte: ing himself between the counsel and Ash. Mr, De Witt remarked thas the District Attor- ney should exercise some propriety in the selection of the character of the witnesses and believed that the witness had stated there what he knew to be un- true, Here he would reat the examination as far as he was concerned. Mr. Benjamin F, Clayton, of No, 1.125 Fulton avenue, testified that ne was nt at the election, Fifth district, Seventh wi corner of DeKalb avenue and Ciasson, on the night of the elec- tion, and witnessed the canvass of ihe votes for member of Assembly, he being seated at the tabie ab the time. After the votes for Goodrich and Jones had been separted on the table the votes tor Jones were first counted, While counting the votes wit- ess 8aW two tickets fall out of the canvassers hand on the table, on or near the pile for Goodrich. Those that bad been counted were then put in the stove. Those for Goodrich were then counted, among them were then found the two forJones, which latter the canvasser announced as two ior Jones, notwith- sending the fact that these two had been before counted, The poll book wag then compared and did not agree. ‘The canvass, with tne exception of these two votes, as far as witness saw, Was correct lor Assembly. ‘The examination adjourned to meet on Monday next, SUBURBAN NEWS.

ECONOMY AND RETRENCHMENT IN THE PUBLIC SER- VicE.—The Board of Ghosen Freeholders are accus- tomed to partake of sumptuous dinners whenever the public weal calls them together. The bills amount to a comparatively Jarge sum at the end of the year. In Union county the practice was abol- ished, and there are indications that it will cease also in Hudson county atter & short time. Mr. J. B. Cleveland, one of the most active members of the Board, offered a resolution at the last meeting that hereafver the director (chairman) be directed vo furnish only one dinner ticket to each member, and the resolution was unanimous. adopted, ‘I'nis will kill off the penny-a-line Bohemi- ans and all other deadheads who have been feasting at the public expense. Respectable members of the Board may very soon question the policy of having their dinners paid for by the taxpayers. CONSOLIDATION.—The ‘details of the amended charter for the consolidated cities have been nearly all arranged by the members of the Legislature from Hudson county in caucus at Trenton. The recom- Mendations of the joint committee sitting in Jersey City will of course command attention and respect, and will be adopted wherever they do not conflict with the general provisions of the bill. bers of Assembly are unanimously pledged against The mem- special legislation or the practice of iegis- lating any individual into office. This principle 18 -found to be unsound, and the Governor called attention to ‘tt im his message. The Mayor will be an ex-officio member ofevery board, There will be some trouble in the division of wards 80 a8 to ensure a fair representa- tion, The Seventh ward of Jersey City will be di- vided, but even this will not be sufficient, as the population of that city is greater than that of the other two cities combed, and these have eight wards. It 1s expected that tre bill will be introduced on ‘luesday, the Ist of February. Hoboken. Bocts DeErectives Ros A Poor GERMAN EmI- GRANT.—Hoboken is regarded by many as the home ofthe German race, yet it does not always afford Protection to the exiles from Fatherland. Two days ago a poor emigrant Was making his way to the ferry with a bundle in his hand, when he was stopped by two young men, who asked him if be was lately landed. ‘The moment they found that he was “green” they marked him as a fit subject to be operated upon, Seizing the bundle they inforined him that they were United States revenue detectives and would examine the contents of the parcel. They found three bottles of Cognac brandy, one pound of wool and 200 cigars, which they appro- priated, allowing him, very magnanimously, to de- part without being arrested, as he was not ac- juainted with the usages of this country. Yester- day afternoon the man who was thus fieeced stated his case to some frienas, who will have the matier investigated. He states that be first saw the men standing near the police station, but it 1s quite cer- tain that they are not employed in any police service. Commuanipaw.

THE FOURTEENTH WakD PROJECT.—Mr. Matthew Murphy, the democratic Assemblyman from the Ninth district, comprising the Seventh and Eleveath wards, states that he ia not opposed to the passage Of the bill creating the Fourteenth ward, though he 1s of opinion that the boundary lines are too small. On this ground it might reasonably ve opposed by the republicans. ANOTHER PARK SITE.—A select number of citizens, meluding a goodly sprinkling of City Fathers, visited yesterday afternoon a piece of land near the Waver- ley Fair Grounds, with a view, it is understood, to consider the feasivility of securing it for a park site, ‘rhe impression of the good law-abiding tax-paying citizens of this place 18 that there are other wants the city should be supplied with paramount to new parks, Among these might be named decenuy paved streets, a juvenile reform school, a “first class hotel,” and the running of all the horse carson Sun- day. SINGULAR CAsE.—Yesterday forenoon # woman named Mrs. Flynn, residing at No. 4 Towpath, ap- peared before the authorities and made complaint that her youngest child, a bright, beautiful, biue- eyed, browWn-headed girl of ten had been coaxed away by her other child, @ youth of seventeen, whose general character even she declared to be very bad. Previous to leaving England he had been in the reformatories for theit, and since his arrival here he had been in the habit of pilfering more or jess. He left home last Tuesday in company with the hittle girl, and nothing whatever has since been seen or heard of either him or her. The mother thinks he has disposed of the child to some disreputable per- sons in New York. He was blind of one eye. Mayor Ricord instructed the police to lend the poor woman all poesible assistance. A detective was aelaued to work up the matter, WESTCBESTER Cock Fiastina ty Morris.

AS the house named has for some time Leen suspected of containing a cockpit It las been watched by the police, who, however, failed to make a descent on the premises in the absence of ordera to that effect from their superior. It ts ‘understood that since the arreat of McGarvin a well arranged pit has been found in Rogge’s house, and that some six or eight battles took place there on Fridayy night in presence of more than one hundred persons. Mc- Garvin was locked up for examination. His “chicken,’? which was iso taked to the Town Hall, presented a sorry appearance yestertlay, with the vital carrent oozing Irom its mangied head, and in otner respects convincing the belolder tha: its epl- taph could hardly be prematurely writen, No ower arrests had been efected up to last cvening.

Mr. Zarringvon, Episcopal minister at Green- wich, in attempting to jump from a New York and New Haven tram at the former town on Friday evening, feil under the cars, which passing over the unfortunate girl severed one of her lower limbs, it appears that she forgot to get off when the train stopped at CGreeuwich, and on its starting again essayed to jump, against the regnonstrances of those who witnessed the accident.

Tho Mysterious Visitor at Police Headquarters— A Policeman Unveils Her—Has She Got Any Friends—A Night in a Cell— A Policoman on Trial. They do say that some. queer things are done by the Police Commissioners sometimes, and that they like to accommoaate thelr frienas and sacrifice Policemen if it will not get into the papers and it can be done in “a quiet way, you know;” but few people believe that all the Commisstoners can be manipulated thus, and that some have a backbone when pressed too far. One day tn December last a pretty female entered Police Headquarters, had interviews with Commis- stoners Brennan and Manierre and left, Soon after it leaked out that “Sida Taylor” had made a serious charge against an officer of the Fifteenth, and that he wouid likely be broken; that there was to be a pri- vate trial and reporters were not to be present, as the woman did not want her name to appear in the press. The HERALD published one of her names and stated the nature of the charge, which sets forth that’ oMcer Lane, of the Fifteenth, met her on the street, approached her rudely, lifting her veil, arresting and maltreating her, afver which he locked her up at the Mercer street station house. There have been two previous hearings in the case, but each time they were had secretly so that the press could not ascer- tain the facts developed. It is said that the woman, who 1s a widowed daughter of a chief of police of a city in Connecticut, did not desire the notoriety of a publication of the facts. On the previous nearings her crossexamination confirmed her charges in every particular. Yesterday, when the case came on, Mr. Mamerre was asked to permit the reporters to see the evidence, but he declined until the case is Ginpoaed of and the evidence becomes a mather of record. Lane appeared with counsel, Mr. Charles E. Shul- tas,tof Cotrell & Brothers. Counse! asked for an ad- journment, which Mr. Mamierre refused to permit. wr Mapierre said that he had alreadyggiven an ad- journment to allow Lane to get witnesses, He un- derstood that Lane bad been to some reporter and stated that the adjournment was to enable the woman to produce witnesses. Lane denied this statement. Mr. Manierre insisted that the hearing mint eo on as the jast adjournment was for Lane’s nefit. Omer Reardon, of the Fifteenth precinct, was then sworn. He stated—On the morning of the 23d of December last, while on post in ‘ashington square, between twelve and one o’clack, he heard @ woman speaking quite loudly; got behind a tree and watched, when sie came along with Lane; the latter stated to witness that he had a woman who was im the habit of going on his post at call hours; he (Lane) questioned her and she abused him, and he had to take her in; they went out through the square to the corner of Fourth street, Witness accompanying them; Lane treated the woman as any eenepen. would a lady; on the ‘way the woman said to Lane, ‘You are a liar;” his response was, ‘You are @ lady;” while walking along she was crowded off the tagging, when Lane stepped behind her, remarking, ‘Ihe flags are too narrow for both of us, you had better walk on the flags;” Taylor replied, ‘It 1s none of your d—d businesa, 1¢ 18 my privilege to walk here;” Lane said, ‘Well, you can do so; she thea said, “I am ® friend of the commissioners and judges;”, Lane made use of no improper language; 1 sweal came here to tell the truth, On cross-examination peeren cure positively that the woman made use of profane language. ‘ B, Adams, night watchman, testified that on the night in question he and Lane were walking up Sixth avenue, near Tenth street; met the woman coming down; she turned about alter passing them, waiked back and asked Lane for his namber; wit- ness did not go back and don’t Know the nature of Lane’s conversation with the woman; Lane did not raise her veil, and had anything been said in a loud voice witness would have heard It. Adams further testified that he knew the woman and had seen her passing on the streets at various hours. Lane was sworn, and testified substantially as did Adains and Reardon; swore positively that he ol- fered nou indignity to the woman, that when she de- manded his number he took off his hat and held up the numbers jor her to see them; be then asked her what she wantec the number for, and sie responded that she would have him broken, that she was the daughter of such and such @ man, @ friend of the Commissioners and judges; witness advised her to go home quietly, when she abused him and used grossly obscene and profane language; he then put his hands on her arm and told her she was his pris- oner; she seized witness by the whiskers and pulled them severely; he took her to the station house; she was locked up, in the morning arraigned before Jus- uce Dodge, who discharged her, but admonished her in future to treat officers witn some respect. On @ cross-exammation by Mr. Manierre Lane stated tnat he had seen the woman frequently at late hours on the streets; he denied telling Mr. Gar- vin, the landlord, that Miss Taylyr was @ woman Ot bad character; Garvin had seen a paragraph in the HERALD announcing that complainant had made charges against witness, and he asked him what tt Meant; witness did state that he had arrested her; Garvin asked him where Taylor came from, and Lane stated No, 52 Sixth avenue; Garvin knew the character of the house: Garvin stated to witness since he did not want to appear as a witness, Counsel for Lane here asked that he have the privi- lege of an adjournment and the attendance of Tay- lor, thatshe might be cross-examined.

It you attempt to show she is @ prostitite or a bad woman or of bad repute we will not listen to it, but evi- dence to show her incredibility might be offered. ‘rhe counsel then asked for an adjouament to hear the evidence of Sergeant Holbrow, before whom ‘Naylor was arraigned, and the final hearimg fixed for Monday morning. There remains but littie more to be said. During the hearing Commissioners Smith and Bosworth came in for a few minutes and even a number of clerks seemed deeply interested in the case and attended. After the press had got possession of the evidence for the defence by entering the room and making notes, Mr. Manierre condescendingly permitted some of the reporters to see the evidence ior the prosecu- tion. The allegations are, that she had been to a thea- tre with a gentleman, nis wife and daughter, started home alone, from the man’s house, when she met Lane.

She repeated the offensive epithet, when he took hold of her arm, pushed her and said, “go about your business.” In trying to save herself she caught hold of his coat. He took her arm again, shoved her violently and hurt her, tore her water- proof from the chain and the button flew of Such 1s the nature of the charge. The friend of the commissioners and judges, who figures in this case as complainant, it is alleged, claims to be a daughter of Chief of Police Chamber- Jain, of Marvord, Conn. FURIOUS SNOW STORM IN MINNESOTA. Blockaded and Business Sus- pended. {From the St. Paul Pioneer, Jan. 18.) One oi the most furious snow storms that has visi- ted Minnesota for the past twelve or fifteen years, swept over:a greater portion of the State, commenc- ing at an early hour on Sunday morning and lasting Without intermission until about nine o’clock Sun- day evening. Snow began to fall m small quanti- ties on Saturday evening, and increased in volume until at daylighton Sunday morning the air was filled with the delicate flakes. At the commence- ment of the storm, and up of seven A. M. on Sunday, the wind was in the southwest; at that ume it began to yeer about untilit reached the northwest, During Sunday the weather was not unusually cold, the thermometer ranging from eight degrees above in the morning, twenty-five degrees above at noon, and standing at twenty-four degrees above at sundown. Shortiy after that hour the wind became settled in the northwest, and the mercury fell rapidly, mark- ing 8ix degrees below at sunrise yesterday morning. ‘Yhe mercury did not get above zero all day yester- day, rauging as follows:—Ninc A. M. five below, tweive M. three below, and at sundown it marked nine @egrees below and still faliiag. From the time the wind settled in the northwest, at seven P. M. on Sunday, until the sun went down last evening It blew ‘qreat guns,” driving and whirling the suow in every direction, Hardly withing the recollection of any citizen of St. Paul have ourstreets and sidewalks been so im- eded by snow as they were yesterday morning, and few, if any of them, recollect of ever seetng a greater fall of snow within the same period of time. Huge drifts were piled up on every hand— at the street corners, across sidewalks, in the dooryards and blocking up the entrance to every dwelling and business house in the city. ‘phe work of shoveling paths arounds dwellings and removing the snow from the sidewaiks, although prosecuted with an energy and perseverance worthy of all praise, was labor thrown away, as we fierce, driving eddying wind quickly filled the space thus cleared with @ fresh accumulation of snows. During the greater portion of the day the streets wore a deserted appearance. Business was practically sus. pended and the ont-door portion of tie city given over to the carnival of wing, snow and biting cold. The avenues of public travel were blocked up, and but few trains on the different lines of road ceu- treing here either departed or arrived during the day.

A Report that John Morrissey Was Shot by James Fisk, Jr.—An Interview with © the Member of Congress from the Fifth District — He Was Entire. —— The moon, taking into its nead one of those Strange whims which sometimes seize ordinary Mortals, ascended into the heavens in mid-day yes- terday, though not visibly, and distributed some of its borrowed shine among the eager news devour- ers of the metropolis, What was most extraordi- nary about this astronomical paradox was that this Same shine penetrated the perforated clay of the Hon. John Morrissey. James Fisk, Jr,, it was re- Ported, had gone into the cold 1ead business, and, acting as a first class plumber—for Mr. Fisk does everything in first class style—he had undertaken to introduce radical changes in the mortal tenement of Mr. Morrissey. . Tn other words, Mr. Fisk had shot Mr. Morrissey in Washington. The relations of these two planets, it was reported, had been mutually disturbed by the Appearance of som@plouds over the healthy atmos phere of thelr former periodical and orbital friend- ship. Mr. Fisk, it appears, in the recent Wall street complications had suffered many ecilpses. Among them Mr. Morrisseyhad obscured his stellar pathway in @ financial comet, with a tail $81,000 in length. ‘This unusual evolution over head Mr. Fisk resolved to put under foot. Therefore Mr. Fisk pald Mr. Mor- nissey $81,000. Other accounts, little irregularities in nebulous laws, it was asserted, had been left unsettled in the vast architecture of their mutual financial*structure. This had given rise to a misunderstanding, in which it was affirmed that Mr. Morrissey vowed to extin- guish his rival planet, This intention reached Mr. Fisk, and, naturally objecting to be blown out at this stage of @ brilliant transit through the heavens of his glory, determined to point his immeasurable light at Mr. Morrissey. He did sv, as the telegraph iniormed @ tederal Officer, yesterday, at noon. it was said that Fisk had discharged some of the unpleasant metal; that Morrissey had stopped it with his athletic frame; that, lacerated and bleeding, Mr. Morrissey nad sought his hotel to have bis wounds dressed. In the choice parlance of Mr. Greeley, these were all “lies.” But people liked the idea, and tne sensation was expec- vorated over the thoroughfares of the city, at the hotels and pubiic places, and was licked up by the countless news Bohemians, 4 A HERALD reporter started off in pursuit of the Phantom Rumor; took a carriage and drove to Police Headquarters. Inspector Dilks Was at his desk, put Rumor was not. He had not seen or heard of the strange personage. He put hts lips to the speak- lng trumpet—demanded if Morrissey had been shot. “No,” was the pneumatic response.

A Protest Entered Against the New System— Visit of a Delegation of Cartmen to Collector Grinnell—How They ‘Were Received. Yesterday morning the committee which had been appointed at the meeting of cartmen held last Friday evening called upon Mr. Grianell, the Col- lector of this port, and presented to him a re- monstrance against the recent order issued by him in reference to the cartage of ponded goods. The committee consisved for the most part of representa- tives of the various steamship companies, the brokers’ cartmen and a few merchants, They pre- sented and read the petition of the merchants pro- testing against the new change, and also read the resolutions passed at the mass meeting held Friday evening, Mr, Grinnell very politely received the resolutions and petition, at the same time assuring his visitors that he was determined to carry out the new system. The city having been divided into eight different districts, and the contracts in each district having been let, the papers signed and bonds given, it was imposst- ble, he assured them, to revoke the order even if he feit so disposed. He was firm in the bellef that the proposed new system would prove greatly advan- tageous to both the government and the merchant, a8 by 1t the former would save at least thirty-one and ahalt per cent and the latter thirty-three and one- third. The Collector said he was fully determined to correct the abuse that has so long existed in the carting of bonded goods. It was simply outrageous, the manner in which the thing has been done. Everything had been con- ducted in a very loose manner, and there had been no system or supervision at all, Many of the mer- chants, Mr, Grimnell said, had been induced to sign the petition by misrepresentations ot the cartmen, and that now, since they nave learned the manner in which the business is to be done under the new system, they regret their action very much. He further assared them he was determined, in spite of ail their remonstrances, to carry out his new plan on the ist day of February next, and that he defied any power in the city or New York to prevent his doing so, The committee, after making some re- marks about submiteing the matter to higher au- thority, withdrew. Mr. Grinneli assured our reporter that the whole plun of the proposed change has been laid before the Secretary of the Treasury and that he highly ap- proved of tt; so itis not af all probable that the indig- nant cartien wl obtain much sympathy from that source, In the “protest” there appears the following para- graph:-—‘The cost of carting the goous must neces- sarily be increased by the proposed change, as the wages or salary of the District Superintendent must be paid out of the earnings of the Custom House cartmen,’’ Now, it is evident that the parties draw- ing up and signing this paper were fearfully igno- raut of the whole inatter; for, where the merciant has heretofore paid seventy-five cents per load of 1,000 pounds, he will, under the new arrangement, pay but fifty cents per load of 1,200 potnds, and the salary of the General Superintendent 1s paid by the cartten after receiving these rates. —- ‘The great opposition to the new system seems to come irom the cartmen doing the work of the vari- ‘ous iines of steamers, nearly ail of whom put in bids for districts, but were unsuccessful because their estimates for doing the work were by far too high, and from brokers’ carunen and a few mer- chants. All of the latter class who have called upon Mr. Grinnell and learned the proposed workings lave not oniy expressed themselves satisfied, but many of them heartily commend the new system. ‘The following letter addressed to Mr. J. P. Lindsay, Deputy Collector, explains a great deal of the mat- te Sin—My attention bas been called to an article published in the Sia newspaper of this date in relation to the new regu lution of custom cartage, iu which they #ay if the new rule Foes tato operation that dome fifteen hundred carmen will ¢ thrown ont of employment, Now, this ia not true, for there are not twenty cartmen engaged in this business outside of those who are employed by the various steam- ship lines, Admitting, if you please, that under the old regu- Iation it required the above number of cartmen to do the carting, will it not require just as many to do the work under the new rule, and just a8 many men employed? Thand you below the names of the cartmen who cart for the various steamship lines:—Mr. Gross, cartman, Cunard Mine; Mr. Brewer, cartman, Inman Ine; Mr. Holloway, cart- man and stevedore, Anchor Mine; Mr. McDonald, cartman, Willams & Guion;' Mr, Kirby, cartman, Bremen line; Mr. McDermott, cartman, National ine; Mr. Andersoo, cart- man, Hamburg and French line; Mr. Dater, cartman, Lon- jon ‘line.

Now, is it just or right that these Persons, who ows uo allegianee to our government, ehould be The custodians of goods which actually belong to. the govern: ment until the duty ts pald? Under the old rule they have always designated the cartagemen who should transfer these goods to the Appraiser’s stores and bonded warehouses, not- withstanding the government pays the cartage.

ARRIVAL OF THE BARK AT THIS PORI One Seaman Killed and the Captain and Mate Wounded. Twenty of the Pirates Slain and the Junk* Captured. ‘she North German bark Apenrade, bailing originally from the port of Apenrade, on the eastern coast of Schleswig, Baltic Sea, arrived in this port yesterday, 106 days trom Whampoa, China, Her experience has been of a terrible nature, as, besides storms and vicissitudes occasioned by treacherous waters, she has been attacked oy pirates in the Can- ton river, and her crew, after the death of one sea- man and the wounding of her captain and frat Mmate—at the, time incapable of defence and amid blood and carnage—were only saved from a whole- sale massacre by the appearance of a friendly steamer, whose light in the distance sent the demons from the decks of the unfortunate craft back to their piratical junk. The snug shipshape order of everything on boara the Apenrade, now at pier No. 12 East river, sug- gests at this time but little of the terrinie occurrence that on the 24th of September threatened ner cap- ture and destruction; but her captain, (. H. David- sen, a rugged, frank, gentlemanly sallor, refers in serious tones to the work of that night, when, with buoyant hearts and sails set for America, they were overrun with the bloodthirsty and murderous pi- rates of the China seas. Has story is of interest, and could it de given, as he told it, as resting upon his right breast, where there is a bullet still imbedded, fired upon him thateventful night, it would be tragic in the extreme. THE PIRATE'S ATTACK. The Apenrade left Hamburg in December, 1868, thence cruised to Singapore, Siam, Bankox, Hong Kong, Formosa and Tam-Sul. When laden with 570 tons of tea she left Whampoa, for New York, on the 2ist of September last. On the 24th the vessel ar- rived within sight of Macao, and, as there were head- winds and calm alternating, anchor was dropped in the outer roads off the latter port. Tho pilot was discharged that day, close to Patol Island, and sall subsequently made. It was twilight, and the river seemed to swarm with Chinese junks bound from sea, This was no infrequent occurrence and the circumstance was not noticed, Suddenly the wind died out and it became @ dead calm, the vessel soon after dri{ung towards the lee shore. All sails were set, but of no effect, and as the captain was about again to anchor & large junk of the same description as many that had passed during the day ran across the Apenrade’s stern within a short distance. Captain Davidsen remarked to the nfate, “I won- der which way that junk is going,’’ when sudden, she tacked, and coming within two lengths of U vesstl, brought herself broadside to the bark, and opened tire upon her. Grape and canister beiched from six guns, Which tore away bulwarks and boats gud smashed the upper works generally. {instantly the junk laid alongsiue of the bark, whose crew were to receive them. ‘Sixty devils, hitherto concealed, jumped as if by Magic from now open natches and ooarded her, armed with revolvers and murderous looking short swords. They tilled the deck, and as.they ran aft shot Captain Davidsen in the right breast, who after- wards, recovering, was picked up and persuaded by the mate to ascend the rigging to the mizzen top, which he did. The crew, overpowered, fied to the main and forechains, when, being discovered, were ied by the pirates with drawn pistols. One of the more desperate of the devils killed a seaman at this juncture, Largs Larasen, @ Dane, and his body dropped overboard. Carl Hoffman, the mate, aiso eived @ terrible wound upon the top of his head, which tor the time caused insensibility. Now there was but little or no fesistance to the work of the boarders. After making inquiries for money and opium they rushed savagely into the cabin and in @ few minutes stripped it of charts, quadrants, glasses, barometers and twenty-eigns dollars in cash. Next they broke open the cargo, and with wonderful nonchalance began to pass naif chests of tea into their junk. While tnis was goin; on they caused the anchor to be dropped, and about thirty fathoms of chain paid out.. When about 100 half chests had been transferred to the junk a cry was raised that a steamer wasin sight, which subse uently was ascertained to be a Canton river trader, the pirates then left, after stealing ail the boats, and Captain Davidsen at once, feeling that time was all important, slipped cable and, as tne wind fortu- nately began to freshen, made for Macao, where he arrived that night. ‘The vessel presented a terrible appearance. The lower part of the rigging and sails were cut and rid- died in a hundred piaces by the pirate’s guns so that they were useless. The decks were charred by the burning of “stink pots’ which scemed to be part of the programme, All the arms that the pirates possessed were of the most improved manu- Lee and many of them spoke English with juency. . Upon the arrival of the Apenrade at Macao, the Portugese authorities despatched tue gunboat Camoes in search of the ptratical junk, but returned Without effecting any resu't. The apenrade was compelled to remain in port fourteen days to repair damages, Wien sue left for New York as above referred to. THE PLEASANT SEQUEL—CAPTURE OF THE PIRATE. While the bark Apenrade was en route the China ents of the vessel, Messrs. Olyphant & Co., of this city, learned by steamer’s mail that the pirate which so roughly used her came to grief on the 7th of Oc tober last at the hands of the Chinese gunboat Cheu- to, commander Edwards, an American. ‘The ace count of the fight is thus given:— The junk was overhauled at about one o’clock in the afternoon, and as she presented a suspicious _. pearance was hailed and ordered to lie to. This order not belpg obeyed @ musket shot was firea through her rigging, but without ppb any effect. A second shot was fired and was immedi- diately responded to by @ broadside irom the junk’s guns. ‘This challenge, decidediy plucky under the circumstances, brought big guns but the crew of the junk, into operation, who Were estimated at from seventy to eighty strong, and weil supplied with rifles and revoivers, continued nevertheless to show fight very boldly. ‘The Chinese sailors (fremen), of whow, to the num- ber of abdut sixty, the crew of the Clento is com- posed, behaved very courageously, and proved excelient marksmen. The action was prolonged by the dimiculty of hitting so low an object as the jun! in the motion caased by a chopping sea; but a shell from the Chento’s pivot gun at length decided the fight, and the majority of the pirates, throwing their arms overboard, swam for the shore, which waa not far distant. The boats of the Chento, under the command of Mr. Robertson, chief officer, at once boarded the junk, when a band to hand fight took place on her aeck between the Clhento’s party and sucn of the pirates as had not got away in time. Several were shot down—one ran peing knocked over in the act of setting fire to the mayazine—and four prisoners were taken unhurt. Jt was found that the pirates had lost some eighten or twenty kiled, the bodies of seven or cight of whom were found on wie junk’s deck. from information received at Macao, whither the prize was towed, en route to Canton, there is reason to believe that the junk combined coolie-catching with her other avocations, When encountered by the Chento she was bound, according to the prisoners? atate- ment, for ihe coast of Hainan, the well knowy cruising ground of both pirates ana kidnappers. The only casualty reported on board the Chento is one Chinese fireman, the knuckle of whose right hand was spiintered bya rifle bullet, The Chento herself received several rifle shots, and has two shots through the funnel, bui on thé whole sut- fered very little in the affair. Her commander speaks in the highes terms of the conduct of his oMicers, both executive and civil, and crew. ‘The successful result ol this engagement—the first actual stand-up fight between pirates and one of the new Chineso gunboats—shows that there ts reaily good stuffin the native seamen when led and encouraged by the ex- ample of Suropean officers, no matter how tew in nuiuber, Some of the murderous weapons the pirates used are still wit Captain Davidgon. one of them being the short sword, of steel, twenty inches long in blade and one and a quarter inches wide, ltisa terrible weapon.
