ATE FLESH OF DEAD MEN
Horrible Story oi Two Survivors of Storm-
Wrecked Bark.
DRIFTED FOR DAYS WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER.
Drew Lots to See Who Should Die and Furnish Blood
and Flesh to Survivors.
The British steamer Woodruff from
Hamburg, arrived at Charleston, S. C.,
-iiturday with two half starred, half
wild devils who had lived for two days
on a raft at sea on a feast of blood and
human flesh. They were Morrison
Anderson anti Goodman Thomas,mem
bers of the crew of the Norwegian
Drot, which was wrecked in the hur
ricane off tho straits of Florida on Au
gust 11th.
The bark carried a crew of seven
teen. When the storm came down, the
vessel was smashed into, the captain
and eight men boiug swept overboard
and drowned. Eight men clung to a
raft, a part of tke bark’s deck, and
drifted out. The waves, however,
smashed this in two, aud left six men
swinging to the larger part. The two
men on the smaller raft were driven
sway, and one saved by a passing ship
and landed at Baltimore.
When the storm had passed the six
men were left drifting about, with no
help in sight and without food or wa
ter. Some of the bark’s trappings
were found on the raft and among
these was a fishing hook and line.
The fish caught were devoured raw
by the starving crew. The thirst was
fierce. While one of the sailors was
fishing with his line staying far out,
ho drew in a fish, but in an instant he
went mad. “I am saved!” he shrieked
as he lunged for the fish, and he went
over and was lost. With his death the
last means of obtaining food was gone.
Soon after the man was drowned,
two members of the crew were taken
deathly sick from eating the raw meat.
Signs of death were falling over them,
and the three fellows, still strong
through all the suffering, stood by
them with a knife ready to cut for the
heart blood as soon as that organ fail
ed to beat. The sick man's feet were
cold aud clammy when his heart was
cut, and the half fiends scrambled for
the trickling blood.
Cast Cots For Victim.
While they were sucking this, the
second sick man died and there was
the same rush for the weak blood from
his heart and veins. Parts of the
filthy, sickly flesh were eaten, but the
thirst for hoj |j>J<?9d cnine oyer the three
jnen left and they agreed te cast lots
to see wlio sliouTu die.
The unlucky man was a German, a
big sailor, thirty-five years of age. He
lost and surrendered manfully, baring
his breast that his heart might be
struck good and clear. The German
was stabbed. Anderson and Thomas
stuck their lips to his breast aud drain
ed the blood.
Afterwards the heart was chopped
out and particles of the warm flesh
eaten with a relish. All the time the
men were on the raft a stench to heav
en had arisen and scores of sharks
came straggling up. They fought to
overturn the craft and find the human
prey, but they were driven off and
parts of the German’s body was tossed
over to them. The survivors were
weak and thirsty and had agreed among
themselves to cast another lot by Fri
day morning at sun rise if no help was
in sight, but the steamer Woodruff
sighted the raft Thursday afternoon
at 6 o’clock.
The small boats sent out to rescue
the men bad to fight away the sharks.
Anderson and Thomas were picked off
weak, demented and emaciated, with
ulcers and sores steaming over their
bodies. Both men were in a dreadful
condition and when landed at Charles
ton were sent to a hospital for treat
ment.
Thomas was the cabin bey and was
only seventeen years of age. Thomas’s
face and breast was bitten fiercely.
He claims that it was done by Ander
son.
No intimation of what the courts
will do, if anything, is given. The
Drot sailed from Pascagoula for Bue
nos Ayres on August 3.

will be cabled to Norway.

COURT WORKS RAPIDLY.
Trial of Rioters in Darien Satur
day Resulted in a Split-Up
Verdict.
At Darien, Ga., Saturday, the court
moved more rapidly in the trial of the
negro rioters. The jury, out Friday
night on the second batch of five, sat
on the case for twelve hours and then
returned with the statement that it was
impossible for them to agree on the
woman, Josephine Bird, while for
Abram Green they found a verdict of
not guilty.
Judge Seabrook Jent the jury back
and told them to agree aud report.
The foreman stated that they would
not agree if they were out six months,
and Judge Seabrook told them they
could sit seven if necessary. In
about an hour the judge sent for the
jury, accepting their verdict, as they
were then ready to return it.
Those convicted were Jones Green,
Moses Miller aud Lawrence Baker.
Josephine Bird’s case was reported
a mistrial aud Abram Green was found
not guilty.
The cases against Charles McDon
ald, Dave Petty, Hugh Thompson,
Moses Bailey aud John Thompson
were on trial in the meantime and the
jury was out only about ten minutes
when a verdict of guilty against them
was returned with the exception of
John Thompson.
The case against Bill Jenkins was
tried separately, he having employed
a different lawyer from the rest, aud
the jury brought in a verdict of guilty
against him in about ten minutes’
time.
Court then adjourned until Monday
morning.
The grand jury Saturday afternoon
took up the case of Henry Delegal,
charged with rape, and about whom
the entire trouble at Darien origina
ted. The jury did not conclude its
labors and adjourned until ?Jonday.

Filipino R’b?l* Driven With Great Loll
From tlie Town of Arjrofirnla.

most impregnable stronghold of the
bauds which have been destroying
plantations and levying tribute on the
people of Negros, has been taken by

dicular hill, covered with dense shrub
bery and a thousand feet high.
The Americans accomplished this

down upon them. The native strength
was estimated at 400. Many of the
rebels were wounded and captured,
end twenty-one were killed.

A Washington dispatch says: Agi
tators of the now notorious case of

leading newspapers, aud relegating
the French military scandal to less
prominent columns.
Captain Carter’s attorneys are show

in pressing their erse before the pub

EIGHT CENTS FOR COTTON
Demanded Ity Farmer* of Troup County,
Ga.ln Ilenoliitlim*.
The farmers of Troup county, Ga.,
held an enthusiastic pieeting in the
courthouse at LaGrange for the pur
pose of organizing and putting on foot
some scheme by which the price of
cotton can be raised.
The following resolutions declaring
the intention of the Troup farmers to
hold their crop until the desired price
is offered aiul calling on planters
throughout the south to join in the
movement were adopted:
‘‘Whereas, the farmers, merchants
and bankers of Troup county having
this day met in pursuance of a pre
vious call to consider some plan of co
operation among the farmers, whereby
an adequate price may bo obtained for
tho present cotton crop, suggests the
following:
"1. The present cotton crop shall
not he Rut on ine market for a price
less than 8 conts per pound.
“2. Until that price is rea bed the
bankers and niGTCawS.* 8 a , ro *0 advance
such amount on all cotton received by
them as will meet the intermediate de
mands of tho farmer storing said cot
ton in the warehouses and as security
hold the receipts of such cotton until
a sale is deemed advisable.
‘‘3. The great difference between
the raw material aud the manufactured
goods is proof conclusive that the
present price of the staple is but little
more than half its value. The sur
plus on hand is of such low grades
as not to be of much value save for the
very coarse fabrics and should cut no
figure as against the present high
grade.
‘‘4. Thero is no such thing as over
production of cotton while more than
half the human family is in rug3 and
tatters,as a result of arrested distribu
tion.
“We, therefore, call on the farmers
of Georgia aud every cotton growing
county in the south to meet at once
and organizo similar associations and
force the price of our principal pro
duct to that figure which will remu
nerate the industrial classes of tho
south.
