SHIPBOARD BARBARITIES, Charge of Cruelty to a German Cabin Boy. The Mate of the American Ship Porto Platte Held to Await the Action of the Grand Jury. Another of those cases which come up 80 fre- quently in the federal courts-of this ctty arising from the cruelty, oftentimes to death, of captains and mates of vessels to seamen while at sea, where | seeming impunity instigates the most wanton exer- cise of brutal authority, was yesterday under examination before Commissioner Shields, It cer- tainly is not from a sense of impunity derived from apy laxity in the laws with regard to scamen that commanders of American ships and their officers will coutinue to act so in- humanly on board tielr vessels, In many instances the heaviest punishments have been in- ficted upon those sea monsters whenever caught, @nd itis but 9 few years since that humane man, Judge Shipman, from the United States Circult Court euch, declared his resolve to intilct the beaviest punishments upon this class of ofienders ‘whenever convicted before him. At present there are awaiting trial for heinous offences of this char- acter Captain Grindle, of the American ship, 01d Oolony, and Daniel Leach, steward of the American ship Helen O, Phinney, charged with the murder of dack Shields, or Ausiralian Jack, in the harbor of Montevideo, tu August last. The present case we give below from the examination of the priucipal ‘Witnesses, EXAMINATION OF DANIEL MONTGOMERY, The examination of Daniel Montgomery, who Is charged with having brutally assaulted Vito Marx, & German boy, about # month ago, on board td American ship Porto Platte while on the voyage trom iionduras to New Yorg, was entered upon yes- terday before Commissioner Shields. Montgomery, ‘the accused, was first mate of the Porto Platte. STATEMENT 0 THE CABIN BOY. Otto Mi who appeared im court with a wound Partially healed on the right side of his head, near the eye, deposed:—I was a cabin boy on hoard the Porto Piatte; the mat: abused me; he struck me ‘With @ stick and sometimes with a broom; I wax steering at tie time he siruck yaork did not steer well enough, and the mate aoused aud kicked me; he oe me on the side with heavy sea boots, On ing cross-examined the witness said he did not ship a8 a seaman and was not asleep when he was struck; shipped on board the Porto Platte trom New York; was cabin boy on the way back; the bruise on the side of my head did not come from blows; told the steward the mate did not hurt me. {. The evidence for the defence consisied of that of the steward and the captain of ihe Porto Platte, ‘the steward stated that ne never knew of tue boy ‘be.ng sick; be was very dirty and the steward ‘Washed him; the boy teid witness that the mate hit hum; he said he deserved it. In cross-exuuina- tion the witness said the sores on the boy mops ruoning after tuey had been washed oul; the mate was a good man; witness will Not swear that he did not strike the boy; Lever saw anybody but the maieand witness strike lim; wit- ness ts Sul in the ship, In redirect testimony the ‘Witness said he took off all the boy's clothes when lic ‘washed ~ he had busters on his Qugers; they long tin ‘were there a e. {. The captain, Francis J, Montgomery, deposed that the boy shipped as ordimary seaman at twenty dol- lars per Month; he wes put to steer, but proved in- ‘competent to do so; he would not change his clothes quuless 1 compelied him to; saw asore On the side of is head; he never complained to me that the mate struck him, In cross-examination the wiiness saic ‘the defendant was his brother, (. Charies Harrington, who had sailed with the de- fendant, said the defendant's conduct was always geet p woule sau with him again and had shipped Counsel sor defendant having summed up, counsel for government said that this was an outragcous use, and thet it was high time this class of opence should be put an end to. The Comumussiouer decided that there was no cause whatever for this assault on the boy, who had shipped for service in the cabiit and could not, in @uy sense, be regarded as an ordinary seaman. He committed the accused to await the action of the Grand whos {, ‘The boy been for nearly a month in nospital In Brooklyn, and he 1s to attend on Friday next fore the Graud Jury, wien, it 1s understood, au Andictinent will be preferred against the mate, Another Case of Alleged Shooting on Board an American Vessel. About five o’clock last evening Captain Berdman, ot the American bark Armenia, was brought before Commusstoner Shields on a warrant, charging him ‘with having on the high seas, on board the vessel named, while sailing from Callao to New York, com- Woitted an assault on one of the seamen Charles M. elson, with @ pistol, with intent to killhim. The risoner, on hearing the charge, satd it was untrue. ‘he Commissioner said that that was a matter ‘which could only be decided by the examination, which he fixed for this day, at one o’ciock. In tue Seger he would fix the defendant's bail at 000. ATTEMPTED IDE IN CLLVELAND, 610. A Husband and Father Shoots Himself Bee cause He is Deserted by a Lewd Woman, {From the Cleveiand Leader, Jan. % Last Saturday night a man generally well known in our business circles attempted to take nis lire py shooting himself with a revolver, on account of the cold treatment received trom @ prostituie, He 1s he father of two children, the huspaad of an atfec- ‘Uonate and virtuous wife, and brother to a well Known lumber merchant, for Whom he was working 3 inspector. Tne publication of his name would ve nothing more than right, as far as he alone is concerna- ed, but for the sake of his wife and children and ‘brother it 13 withheld, He lives on the west side andis about twenty-six or twenty-cignt years of re. aS me time last August this man made the ac- ‘quaintance of a widow named Mary Albro, residing n High street, in a house of prostitution Kept by fer motner, Mrs, Greenow. ‘The acquaintance ri- ened into intimacy, an:l the two went ont together ently, be abandoning his family to accompany her to Rocky River and other suminer resorts du- the warm mouths. In a few weeks she went and on her return went to board at Mr. MMcOomber’s, northwest corner of St. Clair and Erie Btreets. Here we are informed that he furnished her trom his earnings with all the money necessary to defray her expenses, visited her frequently and was olten seen out in her company. His attentions to Ee were 89 assiduous that persons in the neighbor. ood believed him to be a single man enamored of ‘the young widow, who was supposed to return his jove. While his money lasted he divided it equally witn ther, and we ara informed that on one occasion, when his wife complained ef his not properly pro- pala for his Jamily, he answered her that she should never have over half of his salary. This amounted to $1,200a year, which, with compensation fer extra work, arose to about $2,000. As long as tits Income lasted be gave a part Of it to his paramour, ‘and seemed contented to live in that manner, his megiecied wile bearing her troubles with pa- tence; his new found idol daily returning nis at- tentons with every mark of deep and lasting affec- 10n. i ‘Bome two weeks ago this man’s brother gave him to understand that @ change must take ee in his conduct or bis wages would be paid to his wile in- stead 0. going to him. This idea was acted wen, ene Mrs, Albro became apprised of the fact by mportant decrease in her weekly income, With ‘this diminution her afection entirely disappeared, nd she soon concluded that it was not altogethe; Might for an unmarried woman te win and ret the affections of a husband and father, and sent him ® letter to that effect; she informed him that farther attentions frem him Would be unpleasant; that he owed his time and love to bis wife and children; that Bhe would not wait to marry him until his wife's Geath, but would grapple to the first beau that camo pl and thus dismissed him from her mind. ‘Thursday evening he paid her a final visit, nable to bring her any money, but hoping to shake er ‘‘virtaous’? resolutions by threats ef seif-destruc- tion. Ready for a ball at Lyceum Hall, she sat in her room waiting fer a young man who was to escort her there. The rejected suitor sald he had come to thank her for the advice given him concern- Ing his wife and family, and to bid her a last tare- well. He then (ook a revolver from his pocket, and, Bhowing it to her, said, “Tuis is my only friend ? “Harry, what do you mean?” cried the woman. “Good night,” said he; “good night, and for the Jast time.’ ‘ ( He then ran down stairs, out into the street in front of J. Nussdorier’s confecuonery, and delibe- eas! shot himself, the ball penetrating about a ‘quarter of an inch below the heart and passing out ofthe side. Mrs, Albro looked through the front oor and saw this; she saw him reel up against tne a and then crawl into o vacant lot just west pf the boarding house. 6 rau. up stairs to the oom, and descending with her company started off jo the ball, As she passed by the vacani lot a sec- ‘ond report of a pistol rang in the air, put no atten- ‘Sion was paid to it.

The cotton market was strong and higher, with considerable speculative activity. ‘The recent advance in the price ef goid has contri- buted to the better feeling at both tho Produce Ex- change and Cotton Exchange, MONRY SIX TO SEVEN PRB CENT. Tho relaxation in money continues, and seven por cent was almost the exceptional rate today, and Was paid elther very early or upon inferler collate- rala, The leading stock houses wero supplied at six ber cent, which was, of course, the highest digure among the government dealers, Prime commercial paper is still quiet at 7 a 83 per cent disceunt, Foreign exchange wes firm on the basis of 1004 for prime sixty day sterlmg and 110 for sight. Some of the bankers were asking rates an eighth higher than these quotations, GOLD STRONG—110% 4 11144, The upward movement in the Geld Room was as sisted by large purchases on the part of several prominent stock houses, by some of whom the oplaion 1s strongly entertained that gold is a safe purchase at current quotations, The others, how- ever, are supposed to be operating for higher gold, with @ view to depressing stocks, in order to extricate certain “bears? who aro in danger of being swamped by the rising tide at the Stook Ex- change. The price advanced from 110% to 111%, but here brought out heavy sales of long gold and fell back to 111, There is little disposition to specu- jate for an advance in the premium. It is both un- popular and unsate. The mercantile community are tired of the fluctuations of the markets and per- Plexities of business following a rise. They know it cannot be permanent, and hence will base no calen- lations upon it. Those who can will, of course, profit temporarily by apy advance. Thus the cotton and produce exporters were filling orders to-day, but they know they dare not lay in fresh stocks on the prospect of gold remaining at 111. And yet gold may be “bulicd’”’ to 115 before the muddie of tho summer, although it is more likely to ge to 105 before the istof May.
