THE BRAAK GIVEN DP.
Charges of Appropriating Stock
What the Parties Have to Say.
From, the Philadelnhia Times.
The search for the sunken sloop-of-war
Prank, which is said to be at the bottom of
the ocean, just outside the Delaware Break
water, has been abandoned.
The exploring party returned to this city
on the steamer Long Branch yesterday at
noon. The crew of the steamer was paid
off in the afternoon, and last night the
steamer was anchored in the Delaware off
Vine street wharf, in charge of a solitary
watchman. The exploring party left the
Breakwater on Thursday afternoon and
spent the night at Delaware City, on board
the steamer. They started for Philadel
phia at 1:30 yesterday morning. Capt.
Charles A. Adams, of the United States
navy, who has been directing the work of
the divers for the past two months, was in
command.
The others on board were Dr. Seth Pan
coast of 917 Arch street, the projector of
t e expedition; Chaplain Kane, of the
United States navy, the president of the
Braak syndic ite; AJ. Kane, a brother of
Chaplain Kane, a member of the syndicate;
George Schreiner, a sun of John H.
Henreiner, another of the stockholders; Mr.
p;ke, chief of the divers, together with the
wives of Capt. Adams, Dr. Pancoast and
Pik j . There were also on board Charles F.
Pedrick of Phoenixvilie, a diver; Pikt
Gray, the chief engineer and his assistant,
the steward, cook, quartermaster, two fire
men, two deck hands and a colored cabin
law.
ABANDONING THE SEARCH.
The search for the treasure was aban
doned on Thursday morning: when Capt.
Adams asked Dr. Pancoast tor money to
buy coal for the steamer. Dr. Pancoast re
plied that he had no money to give him;
that he had expended all the money the
syndicate had furnished and had paid out
money out of his own pocket, and wasn’t
going to pay out any more; that he was
going to Philadelphia at once and was going
to abandon the scare;:, because he had made
r demand on the syndicate for $2,500 more
to prosecute the search, but didn’t believe
they would give him the money. Capt.
Adams refused then to stay at the Break
water any louger, and the anchor was
weighed and the steamer started for Phila
delphia.
Mr. Pike, chief of the divers, told Chap
lain Kane and his brother that Dr. Pancoast
had sufficient money left, which was fur
nished by the syndicate, to keep up the
search until Nov. 1. When Chaplain Kane
and his brother got to shore, they imme
diately went to different members of the
syndicate and told them what Mr. Pike had
said. There was an informal consultation
• eld, and it was decided to hold a meeting
to investigate the expenditure of money by
Dr. Pancoast.
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SUNK.
Dr. Pancoast admitted last night to a
Times reporter that the syndicate furnished
him on July 27 with $5,6j0, and on July 31
they paid Dobbins Bros., ship-builders of
Camden, $1,500 for fitting up the steamer
Long Branch for the expedition which
sailed on that day.
Chaplain Kane and his brother, Mr.
Vike and Diver Pedrick ail claim that Dr.
Pancoast didn’t expend $5,600 in the main
tenance of the ex(>edition since July 31. On
the other hand. Dr. Pancoast says he not only
spent the $5,600, but S6OO besides out of his
own pocket. Driver Pedrick says that the
■ xpenses were not #SOO a month, not includ
ing coal or maintenance. Everybody on
board wonders what became of the money.
Lawyers William K. Murphy and Ormond
Kambo, of 719 Walnut street, both mem
bers of the syndidate, called on Dr. Pan
coa‘t a few aa> s ago and demanded an ac
counting of the expenditures of the expedi
t.on. Dr. Pancoast refused to furnish them
with any statement at all. He said that he
didn’t have to make any statement; that
the money was given to liim to expend, and
that he had spent it on the expedition. The
lawyers left in disgust.
DR. PANCOAST CALLED A LIAR.
A few days later Chaplain Kane says he
called at Dr. Paricoast’s house with bis
brother, and Dr. Pancoast accused him of
selling certificates of stock without account
ing for them. Chaplain Kane got up and
shook his fist m Dr. Pancoast’s face and
called the doctor a liar. The doctor said to
the chaplain:
“If you don’t behave yourself I will have
you put out.”
Chaplain Kane replied: “You can’t do it,”
and produced the certificates that Dr. Pan
coast had charged him with selling. Dr.
Pancoast wanted him to give them up, but
the chaplain refused and he and his brother
left.
The contract under which the certificates
were issued expires Dec. 31. The contract
is made between the International Submar
ine Company, of New Haven, with head
quarters at Philadelphia, and Dr. Pancoast,
the government being a third party to the
contract and to receive 10 per cent of any
treasure found.
A. J Kane claims that Dr. Pancoast has
sold out the syndicate to the Merritt Wreck
ing Company, of New York. Dr. Pancoast
denies this.
A PRECOCIOUS LITTLE PREACHER.
Wonderful Composure and Assurance
and Command of Language.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The little church opposite Lincoln park
has had a sensation for the past week in the
shape a l'J-year-old boy preacher. His
name is Pascal Porter. His parents are
plain farmers. His mother died eight
months ago, and bis father, au ordinary
man, with no great amount of either sanc
tity or learning, but a plain, every day man,
travels with the gifted son.
The child is a prodigy. Last evening he
advanced to the platform of the little Lin
coln Park church, followed by two silver
haired veterans in the service of toe Lord,
to use Methodist ic parlance. He was
MORE GRACEFUL THAN EITHER.
He sat in the tall pulpit behind the big
Bible and crossed his hands and peered at
the audience with the ootnposure of a vet
eran. One of the silver-haired men intro
duced Mr. Johnson, over HO, to make a
prayer; then hymn- were sung, and the boy
stepped forth with the assurance of a
lawyer and the elegant composure of a
society gentleman. The audience was com
posed for the most part of married women,
who always lore bright children and old
men. The boy preacher wore a round
about, a little white collar about his neck,
knee-breeches and buttoned shoes. The idea
of his preaching to silver-haired old men
recalled the story of the lit year-old Christ
who entered the temple, but the old men
went up and
SHOOK HIM WARMLY BY THE HAND,
And the lad greeted them with respect, yet
not childishness. When the hymns had
been sung and the orgao ceased expectation
was on tiptoe. The audience was hushed,
and placing one hand on the pulpit the boy
preacher announced as a text, “Lay hold on
Life.” He had found the lines somewhere
ui the biblo. He noted the difference be
tweeu the old and revised versions, then
“joke of a life of pleasure, quoted a verse
from Tennyson, talked about the radiant
etfulgonco of a guy company. Then he con
trasted the pleasures ot sm with the pure
Joy of the Christian, but he didn’t detail
niuch of the pleasures of sin, so called, nor
“id it appear that the innocent boy knew
yery much about them. He declared the
j°y of the Christian was the child of hope,
which was a good deal like saying, “Live,
horse, live till the gruits grows.” Then he
hurst forth: “Life which is life; indeed,
life knows no sorrow.” Then ho drew
A SORT OF PICTURE,
As he called it, of christiau life. No more
!"u. Behold. I moke all things new. Two
Jives were recog nisei In the scripture: the
Jifo which now is and the life to come.”
There was no argument in the address, no
Premise* laid down, no conclusions drawn.
L "as an exhortation It might have bten
delivered in Constantinople or Burma,\. and
nobody wou.d have raised au objection.
The words were well selected, the sentences
well rounded. There were no bursts of elo
quence, no exhibitions of a divine power.
The cbi'd has a remarkable memory, and
has evidently been bathed in a scripture
bath since he could lisp. Mr. Shipley says
his mother must have been a godly woman.
Possibly, and when she died, the child in
herited the godliness, if a fluent command
of scriptural language and quotation is god
liness. “We are saved by hope,” he said;
“hope of eternal life. Our life is Christ in
God. This is
A LIFE TO LAY HOLD ON.
No matter how holy we become this life
has been stained by us, and can not be a
holy life, but when we breathe the air of
goodness then there will be no more tempta
tion, and it will be as easy as breathing to
do the will of God.” Then he concluded
with: "My prayer to God is that you shall
all receive eternal life where there shall be
no more parting,” and the kid sat down be
hind the tall pulpit. He preaches next Sun
diy evening. He is a prodigy of memory.
That he knows What he is talking about is
questionable.
HIS COMPOSURE
Before an audience is remarkable. He has
addressed 3,000 people. He does not hesi
tate for a word, and when he does it is the
hesitation cf a person who has learned his
lesson well. He has been preaching two
and a half years, and was born at Volga,
near Jefferson, Nov. 6, 1876. Prodigies
among children are not uncommon. Dr.
Watts wrote hymns when he was 4 years
old. Pope, the poet, rhymed as a child,and
Drydeu, wtien a boy at school, won a prize
for tlie best essay on the miracle of Christ at
Cana by simply writing:
“The modest water saw its God and blushed."
Which was the great poet’s way of express
ing that the Saviour turned the water into
wine. The father of this child says that his
boy began preaching at Sunday school —got
right up and talked on. At any rate, tue
child is a curiosity.
THE GREAT JONE3 COUNTY CALF.
An Animal which Haa Occupied the
lowa Courts for Fourteen Years.
From the New York Sun.
Des Moines, la., Sept. 16.—The cele
brated Jones county calf case is before
Judge Linehan at Waterloo this week. It
is a case with a history. It had its origin
fourteen years ago, has been tried in several
district courts, been heard in the supreme
court two or three times, and now comes up
for adjudication once more. In 1874 the
case was started in Jones county by a
farmers’ society. A mail named Potter, of
Green county, traveled through that section
buying young stock. Among the rest, five
calves were bought of one Johnson, who has
been the prominent figure in the litigation
which has consumed so much time. The
calves which were sold were afterward
ide tilled as belonging to tarmers in the
vicinity. At a meeting of the Jones County
Anti-Horse Thief Society, held soon after
ward, it was determined to charge Johnson
with the theft of the animals, and suit was
accordingly entered. In December of 1874
he was indicted by the grand jury in ses
sion in Jones county, but the court set the
indictment aside. In February of the fol
lowing year he was again indicted by the
grand jury and on this indictment he was
twice tried, taking change of venue to ad
joining coumies. In the first trial the jury
disagreed, one man remaining firm in favor
of conviction. But in the second trial,
which occurred in 1876, he was acquitted.
Soon after Johnson’s acquittal he began
suit against farmers named Miller and
Foreman, and six o her prominent mem
bers of the society, claiming SIO,OOO dam
ages for malicious prosecution. The oa-e
was taken upon a change of venue from
Jones county to Clinton. There it was
twice tried, and then removed to Benton
county on a change of venue, where it was
once more before the courts. In each of
these trials the jury returned a verdict in
favor of Johnson for sums ranging from
$3,500 to $7,000, and each time the trial
judge set the verdict aside on account of
alleged errors.
The case was next taken to Black Hawk
county in 1883, on another change of venae,
and there tried. A verdict of $5,000 was
rendered by the jury, and judgment en
tered. From this, however, an appeal was
taken to the supreme court, the decision
reversed, and the case was remanded back
for trial in 1884.
In 1886 the case was once more tried in
Black Hawk county, and again a decision
was rendered in favor of Johnson for $7,000.
This was again appealed to the supreme
court, and once more the verdict was set
aside, and the case sent back for trial in
1887. And now the sixth trial of the case
will take place in Waterloo after fourteen
years of litigation.
This litigation has been under the consid
eration of thirty grand jurors and eighty
four petit jurors; it has been presented to
nine different trial judges, and has twice
been before the supreme court, five judges
sitting upon the bench each time. The court
costs alone amount to more than $5,000, and
the attorneys’ fees are much more than that
amount. All of the eighty-four jurors have
decided in favor of Johnson, but tbe courts
have uniformly set the verdicts aside on
legal grounds because of the close question
as to whether there was probable cause on
the part of the members of the society for
startling prosecutiou.
Tbe large part of a lifotime has been
spent in useless litigatiou over a few ani
mals, the entire value of which was about
$45. A number of the farmers engaged in
the suits have become hopelessly ruined,
but still Johnsou comes smilingly before the
court,. begins his suits, and readily pays
for them, though he is fast sinking into in
solvency, and is already an elderly man.
Children of various ages, who testified
when the litigation first began, now lead
into court room their own children, who are
nearly as old as were their parents at the
time they made their first bows to the
courts. The farmers are growing old, their
money has leaked away through the vari
ous legal crevices, and found its way into
other hands; homes have been broken up, a
community made poorer in every way, and
still the cases is dragging through tbe tedi
ous channels of the law with hut little more
chance of a settlement than there was four
teen years ago.
