The coroner’s jury at New York in
the Slocum inquest has returned a |
veraict, finding: i j
That the immense loss of life on the ;
General Slocum was due to the mis-:
conduct of the directors of the Rmck- j
erbocker Steamboat Company. |
That Captain Van Schaick is crimi
nally responsible.
That Captain Pease, of the Grand
Republic, as captain of the steam
boat company’s fleet, is criminally re
sponsible in that he failed to proper
ly equip the Slocum with fire appa
ratus.
That Mate Flannagan acted in a j j
I * cowardly manner.”
That the action of Inspector Lund- | .
berg should be brought to the atten
rion of the federal authorities.
Coroner Berry has issued warrants
for the arrest of the directors and offi- j
cials of the Knickerbocker Steamboat j
Company. Inspector I.undberg and
Mate Flannagan have been held in I
$1,000 bail each.
Captain Van Schaick’s Testimony.
When the coroner’s jury, which has ; ;
been investigating the disaster to the
excursion steamer General Slocum, re
sumed its hearing Tuesday, Captain
Van Shaick, the commander of the
Slocum, was called as the first wit
ness.
Van Scliaick, who was wheeled into
court in an invalid’s chair, said he has
held a master’s licence about thirteen
years.
He says he was on the General Slo
cum since she first went into com
mission, but he had nothing to do
with the general equipment of that
steamer in the first place, nor with
her life saving apparatus. He said
Captain Pease looked after the equip
ment of the Slocum each season. Ho
said the government inspector had
condemned some of the life prewerv
ere since 1891, and he personally had
thrown out about thirty. The captain
described the fire fighting and life sav
ing apparatus on board.
In the course of the hearing Cap
lain Van Schaick was asked what
he did when informed the steamer
was on fire. He said he ordered full
speed.
“It was'flood tide and the boat was
going 15 or 16 miles an hour, ft said
the captain. “The smoke came back
to the pilot house. We were then
about four lengths beyond the Sunken
Meadows. The pilot said to me:
“What shall I do?”
“ ‘Let her go,’ and then I ran to see
what the fire was like. At the head of
the stairs I found a woman on her
knees knee... I I lifted luted her hei nn up and and looked looked
down the hatchway. It was all aflame.
I ran back to the pilot house and said
.... race's
i< . gone; beaen her,
. 1 tt He said: • i Where? o. and . I y pointed . , , to .
North Brother island. ‘Shave that
dock and put her starboard side on
th© beac^.’ Then ' T started ‘ '. to no aft ’
but the flames were coming like a
volcano and my hat caught fire. That’s
where my face and hands got burned
There was no chance to move. It was
coming like a locomotive headlight. ’
Captain Van Schaick said he was
not absent from the pilot house more
than half a minute from the time the
alarm was given until the Slocum was
benched, which was not more than
two and one-half minutes.
The witness said it was impossible
to beach the boat anywhere else with
as good chance to save life. He de
nied that he received information of a
fire before the alarm he acted upon
reached him, and branded as absurd
th© report that a boy told him at Nine
teenth street that the boat was on fire.

PRESS FREEDOM UPHELD
In Notable Decision Rendered by Fed- ;
eral Judge Pritchard Sitting
at Releigh.
At Asheville, * ». C., Wednesday
Judge J. C. Pritchard, of the United
States circuit court, filed his opinion
in the celebrated case of Josephus
Daniels, before him on a writ of ha
. beas charged ... with contempt
corpus,
of court. Mr." Daniels, who is editor
Tbe Raleigh News and Observer. I
ha<1 been fined $2,000 for contempt by ,
District Judge Purnell.
Judge Pritchard’s opinion will be
^cognized _ , as an important . , , legal i rec
ord, and is a careful and comprehen
give review of the law as apolied to 1
utterances that might
be construed as contempt of court,
The text of the decision in part is as
follows:
In order , to determine , whether , ,, the
petitioner is entitled to the relief
prayed for in the petition upon which
the writ of habeas corpus was issued, . . ,
it is necessary to determine two ques
tions:
1. < Did r>-. the com t . which . . , , impo ___. ed
the sentence in this case have juris
diction?
••‘1 - Lines Does this this eonrt court have have jurismc inrisdie
tion to hear and determine this case
on a writ of habeas corpus?
Public Opinion for Freedom.
“The force of public opinion in this
country in favor of the freedom of the
press lias restrained the free exer
cise of the power to punish this class
of contempts, and in many jurisdic
tions statutes have been enacted de
priving the court of the to -3
power pun
ish them. It was taken from the fed
eral courts by the act of congress ot
which act deprives those courts
of the common law power to protect
by this process, their suitors, wit
nesses, officers and themselves against
the libel of the press, though publish- .
ed and circulated pending the trial of
a cause therein.
“That newspapers sometimes en
gage in unwarranted criticism of the
courts cannot be denied, In some in- ,
stances they construe the liberty of j
•
the press as a license to authorize
them to engage in wholesale abuse of
tte courtj but thesi' instances are i rare
ant j ( j 0 not warrant a leparture from
^0 well settled prin<;i’de& of the law |
as declared by cong •vc and con- •
gtrued by the courts, if judges
charged with the administration of
the law are not to be criticised on
account of their official conduct the
liberty of the press is abridged and
the rights of individuals imperiled,
“There may be instances where the
publication of editorials or otier mat
ter Tn newspapers would bring the au
thor within the limitations of the stat
ute, For instance, if a newspaper
should publish an article concerning
a trial which was being considered by
a jury and should send a copy of the
paper containing such article to the
jury or a member thereof, during the
I progress of the trial, for the purpose
of influencing them in their decision,
it would present a question whether
such conduct would not be misbeha
vior in the presence of the court, or
so near thereto as to obstruct the ad
I ministration of justice,
" Jt appears_ that the distinguished
3 U( ise who adjudged the pet mono o
be in contempt of court exceeded the
aut ‘ 10nt granted “ J ' in the act of 183’'
-
vffkout ... . .
and that the court was juris
diction. Such being . the case the
ls '•° i »
therefore a nullity.
f > “In view' of the foregoing, lhe court
fn-wtu findb that that -he the netitioner Petitionei is is unlawfully umav.iuiiy
restrained of hls hbert >' an,i 18
therefore considered and ordered by
the court that the said Josephus Dan

of the marshal of the l nited btates
and that he go hence without delay.”

But. oh, how* changed everything appears

leaves fall from the trees. “Ah! these
harbingers of approaching storms: the
indication that another summer's warmth
and beauty is about to be succeeded by
the chill desolation of winter.” v
Jl is s ? difficult for us to understand re
]igious ,. truth „ t | iat God was obliged to
draw them out in diagram upon the natu
world. Therefore a minister may go
to almost any branch of nature and find
a sermon. “Go to the Ant,” says the
wise man Solomon. Consider the "Lillies
of the field.” says Christ. Bush and brook,
beast and bird, day and night, the chang
ing seasons; all abound with spiritual
lessons, and the faded leaves, blown wildly
about by he wilder winds of autumn,
whirl up in our faces, and before our
doors, seeming to say. “What about us?
God has commissioned us to carry a mes
sage to man, and mingiing with the dirge
of autumn, comes the sadder dirge of the
Prophet Isaiah, “We ail do fade as a

do the leaves, Especially is this true
from a religf ous standpoint for all men
do not hold the same religious belief,
the main thing, however, is for all to be
long to Christ. Let the rig leaf utter its
voice of warning, the maple suggest its
sweetness and the olive bring its message
of peace; yet there are time in every life
when naught can be found but the weep

Some ]ieop!e are determined io go up in
this world, even ii they go down in the
next. Men lose their health trying to get
wealth, and then lose their wealth trying
get health. God has a place for every man
in this world, whether ,t bo in the minis

The millionaire can wear but one suit

his riches only increase his troubles, and
it is a mistake to suppose that lie is not
subject to many of the disappointments
common to men. On the other hand, lei
us not try to throw a romance about the
poor man’s lot. Poverty is hard, cruel,
unrelenting. kinds But as surely as (lie different

leaves, so surely are the storms of life
necessary to our highest good; for

Death places the leaves all on the same
level. Said a widowed lady, whose hus
band fills a drunkard’s grave, as she stood
b.v the grave of the wealthy saloon keeper
who had taken his money: “All! you arc
on a level with my husband now,” Yes,
death places us all on a level. Where are
now the vast armies of the Assyrians,
Grecians, Persians. Romans? As with the
warrior so with the peaceful, as with the
rich so with the poor. Millions have gone,
millions more are on their journey.

III. The Decay of the Leaf is Sometimes
Hastened by External ('ireum

It may be affected by insects, excessive
moisture, excessive cold, etc., etc. Then
often the leaf is plucked from the tree
while in full bloom.

IV. The Leaves Fade in Concert Though
They Fall One by One.
.... One the , . of . ,
' cannot count min.ner p.umes
which those frosts are piuckmg from the
hills.” Tbe aisles of the woods will be
r ivered with a beautiful carpet ot many
colors. The imagination can scarcely com
prehend the number of leaves that are
falling. The grave is the , great city, it ,,
has the laregst population, the longest
streets, the eatest number of hands,
billions of eves. though they see not.
King: and queens are there, orators,
statesmen, yea. men of every rank arid con
dition, yet it is the great city or silence.
Neither work, nor device, nor knowledge.
nor wisdom are there. The multitude of
the dying and the dead are ?s the autum
nal leaves drifting under our feet to day.
"One l'*' one. one by we shall soon,
yes soon be there.”
Y. Let Us Proceed to Inquire, How Do
the Leaves Fade.'
1. They fade naturally. It is what con
stantly occurs. After the summer is gone
their and the color, fruits lose are their fully interesting ripe, they hue change and
drop in rapid succession to the ground.
“Man that is born oi a woman hath bill;
a short time to live, a’nd is full of misery,
Jb cometh up. and is cut down like a
flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and
never rontinuetL in one Gay. Tn the
mids. of hie death, and _
we are in science
teaches that we are more apt to ■ e than
to live, all our tendencies are toward
death, and it is one continual struggle to
keep soul and body together. Abraham Where are
now the builders of Babel? and
hi? seed? David and Solomon? Daniel, the
prophets, the the apostles Only remembered and the great by what men
of past?
tliev have done. They being dead arc
still speaking-. The serpent conies to the
sinner, coils about his body, presses IlS
heart tightly, and then comes the awful
sting. The same serpent comes to the
Christian. But oh, how changed! The
Christian, as he looks him in the eyes,

2. They Fade Gradually.

Nature is ; bursting iter bars and is giving

summer’s glory' ymt to come. But oh, how

“We pursue our course, from child

I unfailing continuance of uninterrupted the rounding sea

eial leaves, a
days ago, felt the first touch of the frost
have day by day been changing in tint,
The work was not completed in a day.
No, it has been going on gradually' and
after awhile, leaf after leaf, they will fall
to the ground. So with hardly you and me.
From cay to day we notice the
change, but the frosts have touched us.
VI. There i.s a Greater Beauty and Glory
Attached to the Leaf in Its Fading
and Dying Conditio--* Life. Than at Any
Lime in Its
Along the lake shores and river banks,
and up the slopes of the mountains, “there
is an indescribable mingling of gold, and
orange, and crimson, and saffron, now so
bering into drab and maroon, now flaming
into solferino and sen-let.” In the morn
j ing the forests look as if they were trails
figured, “and in the evening hour . . . .
I as i. the sunset had burst and dropped
upon the leaves.’’ Fame of the mountains
appear to be all on lire, as if they were
submerged in Townsend/as die glorv oi the Lord. Said
Rev. C C. he stood bv the
parsonage gate and looked upon the scene:
“Isn’t that beautiful? I must bring mv
wife up ere to see that foflage.” How
often while driving along the road we no
tiee a tree where the leaves have fade l
at the first touch of the frost, all turning
a russet br^wn. “No one stops to study
them. They are gathered in no vase.
They are hung on no wall.” No one cares
anything at all about them. Such is the
death of the wicked. They do not live
out half their -days, but pass away into
blackness, and darkness, and despair with
nut But, a ray of light ■ cheer the gloom.
thank God, such is not the death of
tbe Christian, for, “the path of tlie just
is an the shining light, which shincth more
and more unto the perfect day.” What
a beautiful sight it is behold a father and
mother in Israel who have spent tjieir
lives in the service of Christ come down to
T 0ss t,u \ nver ; Oh. what halo of glory
1 here is about them! What words of peace
snd ,ioy and comfort proceed from their
Spirit lips, and how strangely Angels near the , loose Ho,y
is us : the , . , gently , the
silver cord.
“Fade, fade, each earthly joy,
Jesus is Mine.”
And the fading body flutters and falls
downward as the leaf, while Oh, “the spirit
! returns to God wh > gave it.” that in
| ! this sense, too, we may all fade with the
1 beauty and glory of the Ic-af.
1 VII. The Leaves Fall Only to Rise Again.
j It* is one of t). j laws of nature that
! j nothing is really lost. Things another change form. their In
condition, but exist in
the juice and sap and life of the tree the
leaves will come up again. Next May the
South wind will blow the resurrection

They shall not all sleep, but they shall
