Two Brothers Charged with Raping o Little Girl, Their Claim of Innocence, Two young men, brothers, widely if not well known in this city, Andy and Michael Davy, have been arrested on a horrible charge, that of raping a young girl, aged between thirteen and fourteen, and named Lizzie Omith. Her step- father, John Smith, formerly lived here, and on Thanksgiving day he and Mra. Smith, with tne girl, came over here to spend the day. Mr. Smith's statement in substance is that he hired one of Mar- tin's hack, driven by one of the Davy brothers, and took a ride about the city. Hfter riding about for some time, Mrs. Smith was left to visit some friends living in the old Almy house near Wickham’s brickyard, while Smith and the girl continued the drive. On Broadway they stopped at a saloon and while the girl remained In the hack, Smith and the driver went in to get some drinks. Smith fell in conversation with some friends, and the driver said he had got tc go down to the Rock JIsland depot, in time to catch the 6:30 train for Omaha. The little girl was going to get out of the carriage, but the driver said she could just as well ride down to the Rock Island and back, so she concluded to do so, the father remaining in the saloon, awaiting thelr return. He walted in vain, and as it got dark started out to look the driver up. After sumo search he saw the hack with the two Davy brothers both on the seat, and the horses being driven rapidly. He called and shouted, but in vain. The next heard of them was that they drove up to the house whero Mrs. Smith was stopping, left the girl there and drove away. Mrs. Smith says that when she found the girl she was in a horrible condition and had evidently been mutilated for she was even unable to walk up the steps Into the house, As soon ae the fact became koown that sne had been so ueed, Jus: tice Shucz was hunted up, an informa- tion filed, and warrants issued for the ar- rest of the Davy brothers who, in the meantime, had put up the team, and disappeared. They, were found, arrested and lodged in jal, where they awsit examination, their bond being fixed at $1,000 each, Itis understood that the burden of thelr defense will be that the girl was not 80 innocent as she was youthtul, and that they used no force or violence, but on the other hand gave the girl two dollars The affair was & most disgraceful one, oven if this should prove to be the fact The examination of the case will probably take place to-day before Justice Schurz, e ANOTHER PLUME. A German Paper Likes the Mayor's Proclamation and Wants Him For Governor, In the last number of the lowa Tribune, a German paper published 1n Burlington, an editorial appears, which translared, reads as follows: ‘“In spite of the mag- nificent capital, with its ‘gllt capitol and the largest distillery in the world,’ there are river towns in which liberty, inde- pendence, patriotism and truth find their place.

This remark led toa murmur of surprise on the part of soveral other captains who had assembled in the shop with a view to passing’n pleasant hour or 8o in amusing and in- structive conversation of a maritime na- ture. The captain who had admitted having taken solid comfort in a colllsion was requested to spin his yain, which he readily consented to do. “‘About thirty years ago, when 1 wasa boy of 17,” he began, *‘L shipped before the mast on a-down east bark. We went from Boston to the west coast of Florida, where we took on a small cargo of lum: ler for London, It was late in Septem- ber when we got clear of the Straits of Florida and stood across the Atlantic. When we got up somewhere beyond the Western Islands the bark struck a cyclone, She worked heavily and began to leak, We tookjto the pumps, bnt the water gained onus until the hold was full and we shipped seas that toro the bulwarks away on both sides of the main decks. But the worst of it was that the lumber didn’t 611 the hold and it began working around. It seemed to us that the bark was going to break up or else that the cargo would shift and capsize us. The second night of the storm the captain gave out that we would abandon the bark next day if any other vessel should come up. Morning came, and, although it was not blowing 80 hard, the sea was awfully choppy. Along in the afternoon we sighted a westorn-bound ship that was running be- fore the wind, which then was east. She was bound toward us, and as soon as we were sure of that wo gave three cheers, but we felt a little uneasy, becavse we knew we would have a hcavy sea to tackle in getting to the stranger. She came up in fine style, and when about half a mile off' she ove to and dropped down to lee- ward of us, so that our boat would drift down to her. W launched our big boat, but the sca was mighty rough, and it was hard work getting into it. I sprang to- ward the torn bulwarks to jump into the boat, but the mate pushed me back. ““/Just you walt a bit,’ said he, * whon all the men are in it will be your turn.’” ““I waited until even the captain had gotin, and I was just golng to follow him when ono of the men yelled, *Look out, there's w sos,’ and the bout pushod away from the side of the bark, The bari< gave a roll and a hoavy sea came on board and knocked me off my fect. 1o a minute the water was gone, and 1 found mysclf lying in tto scupper, close to the torn bulwarks, I heard the mate call to meo to hurery up, and the bost came back to the bark’s gide. 1 tried to spring up, but something held me back. 1 felt a pain in my right leg. Then 1 looked around and found that my ley was jam- med under & spare spar which had been lashed to the bulwarks. The heavy sea had raised the epar a bit, and when it went back to its place it closed on my leg. Although it must have bruised my log, T didn't nofice any pain until I tried to got up. mado several desperate tuge, but it was no uso. My leg was fast, and the epar wasa heavy one, I was caught in a trap. “Iyelled to the man in the boaf. They seemed to know the fix I was in, and the boat came up close, but then the ready now! Wait! just one bark began rolling again, and the boat again kept away. I could only lay there with my leg fast under the spar and beg my shipmates to come back to me, The captain seemed to want to save me but the mate pointed to the ship hove to near by, Probably he was telling the men that the ship wouldn't wait long and that they couldn't spend any time in saving me, Atany rate while | was begging for dear life the oars were manned and the boat headed away from me, I could see the men through the torn bulwarks, but none of them would look back toward me. I begged and cursed and struggled, but no one paid any attention to me, and the noise of the wind and sea must have drowned my crles, The bark drifted around broad- ) | #ide to the sea so that as I lay there in my trap I could see the boat come along side the ship, 1 could see the men s they were welcomed on bosrd, and I ®)uld seo the yards square sround &nd the sails fill. Thero werefigures on the decks, and probably the people were looking at the bark, but I don't think they made meout as I struggled and HIPA T L i ship moved away. 1 shall never forget how that black stern looked ae it roze and fell on the heavy sens aud gracually grew smallor wnd smaller aud finally disappeared, loaving ouly the spars and sails iu sight. Then 1 lay down my head and gave way to despair, ‘How Lcursed the mate for havirg [ pushed 1o back an I was about to e r ths boat, The men had feared to ¢come doubtless the ship speeding away from me, was all [ could mako out, 1 was out of my trap, but that was all. The wind was not very strong, but the ses was very heavy, and the bark began to roll at timea as if sho was about to capsize. 1t was gotting dark rapidly, and | went into cabin and crawled Into the captain’s borth, after taking off my ollskins. 1 found it protty comfortable, although the bark was rolling torribly, and_before | koow It 1 was asloep. It must have baen midmight when I woke up, for 1 was used to waking at oight bells, 1 wa hungry, and I felt my way into the cabin atoreroom, where 1 found some soft bread and good meat. 1 ato a lot of this, and thon, picking up » jug of water, I took ono of the beet and longest drinks 1 have ovor had. Just as I finlshed it the bark gave a roll that threw mo out of the store- room door and clear across tho cabin, I picked myself up and rushod out on the deck. A momont later the bark gave an- other frightful roll, and being by the bul- warks that were uppermost, I seized them, but the bark went over and over until she was more than on her beam onds. Then I crawled out on the vessel’s side, but &8 I mado this effort she ocap- sized completely and I found myself in the water, sinking rapidly, But 1 soon bogan to risze, and when I reached the surface found myself near the capsized wreck, the bottom of which rose out of the wator like the back of a huge whale, 1 was 8 good awimmer, and managed to keep afloat while 1 searchied around for some pieco of wreckage to cling to, After awimming around for a fow moments I found a large water cosk. 1 got hold of this and fouad that the ropes by which it had boen lashed on deck were still fast to it, although they had been broken. The cask w. s rolling somewhat and 1 did not dare to lash mysclf to it for fear that it would roll over and leave me on the under side. But the ropes made it easior for mo to hang on to the onck. In this way I managed to keep afloat until daybreak, There was no veseel in sight then, but I was close to the capsized wreck. 1 determined to attempt to climb up the stem to the keel and 1 was pushing my cask toward the bows of the wrock when 1 saw two ropes running down the side from the keel about amidships. 1 got pp to the eide and pulled on the ropes. They seemed to yleld when I pulled downward, but when 1 pulled upward they soon became taut. to the belaying-ping underneath the water. After belng made fast, the spare ends had been colled up, but had been washed overboard by beavy seas and were trailing in the water when the bark capsized. 1t occurred tome that the ropes wero long enongh to reach down the other side to the water's edge. - Pushing my cask before me I made my way arcund to the other side of the wreck. There tomy joy I found the rope, though they had dragged aft some- what. 1 hauled them up a little and made them fast to the lashings of my cnsk. 1 was very weak after having passed some fivo hours in the water, but 1 grasped the two ropes and climbed up the slippery side until I roached the keel. 1 sat astride of this and rested myself. “The sea had by this time become smooth. I had now only to look out for nssing vessele. The supper of the night gafuru kept mo well up. But for that and the sleep I don't think I could have held my place on the keel, although the wreck was not very unsteady. I had a water cask down below, but the trouble about that was I did’t know how to got at the water. Iknew that I was in the track of other veesels, and I kept up a sharp lookout the wholo morning. 1 saw one sail at a great distance, but 1t did not come any nearer me. At about noon it began to grow fogzy. and in an hour the fog was quito donse, although thera seemed to bo u light breezs. I now bo- gan to despair. 1 hung on to the keel, but somohow I had little hope as I sat there and looked at the fog, Suddenly I heard a noise. A minuto afterward 1 heard it agein, and thw time londer. It was the fog horn of some ship that was appronching. I walted a fow momente, and it sounded again. I set up a cry ot “Ship shoy! Help!” In another mo- ment I thought that I could eeo the outlines of a ship nearing the odgo of the mist. I set up euother shout.
