THE WILMINGTON MESSENGER, FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1902. 5 AX ODSTRLPEROIS CAPTAIN Captain Xelln, of the Schooner Kellle Floyd. Asm In Deflea United States Authority He Kicked an Of ficer and Shot Him I'p Yeaterdar on Doard Wild With Drink. Captain II. Neilson. the Danish mas ter of the American schooner Nelli Floyd, created quite a racket yesterday mornimr at the custom house wharf where the vessel Is moored. On Friday nicht the vessel was libeled by the Coal. Cement and Suppy Company, for damage alleged to have occurred to Dart of a cargo of cement which the ship recently brought into port for them. Captain Neilsen refused to -allow Deputy United States Marshal C. O. Knox to serve the papers and put a watchman on board, until a force was sent over from the revenue cutter -Algonauin. The ship was moved on Tuesday to the custom house wharf where it would b more convenient to properly guard the ship under libel. Mr. Jack Orr ha3 been doing duty on board as watchman for the deputy marshal and since the first trouble the captain has been drinking heavily. Yesterday morning -at 8:20 o'clock Captain Neilsen came out of his cabin and excitedly demanded o! the wathchman the papers giving him authority to hold hi3 vessel. After some hot words, he was finally shown the papers and he took possession of them and pushed the watchman off th deck onto the wharf. He then jumped to the wharf and seized the watchman and drasrered him a half block to the foot of Princess street, using him very rou2hly. He then draggsd him back to the shiD. made him go aboard and shut him up in the forecastle where he searched him and kicked him vigorous ly. The captain is a man of herculean strength and the watchman was pnys icallv unable to resist him. He acted like a crazy man. and when Deputy Marshal Knox arrived on the scene he telephoned to police headquarters for assistance. Policeman Leon George re sponded and after considerable troubY they arrested Captain Neilsen and he was taken to the station housein the patrol wasron. He seemed to be suffer ing with delirium tremens and tore every stitch of his clothing cfT. He was 30 violent that nothing could be done with him and he was hand cuffed and wan kept in irons all day. He was quieted down considerably last night. The hearing in the libel case was to fcaTe been held yesterday before Unite States Commissioner S. P.- Collier but owing to the captain's condition it did not take place. The hearing will prob ablv be had today. Colonel Thomas Evans, attorney for tbo ship owners, has been authorized t?- a bonding company to make a bond S2.250. so the vessel can clear port. AWFUL EXPERIEXCB many Captain Snell, of. the Toe Alexander Jonea, Saw the Schooner C. G. Cranmer Founder With All Her Crew He Had to Cut Loose and Waa rowerlea to Save the Crew. Captain W. A. Snell. of the tus Alexander Jones which returned to Southport Tuesday from Norfolk, says the foundering of the schooner G.' C. Cranner. was the awfullest experience ne nas naa on the sea in his years of nautical life. The tug left Ocracoke last Friday af ternoon to w the schooner to Norfolk. and In the ihooner were Captain Dud ley Bragg his son. James Bragg, of Ocracoke. and Captain White, of Nor folk. He says the weather was favor able when he went to sea but at 5 p. m. a stiff breeze began to blow as the tug approached Hatteras. causing th'. sea to run pretty high but not to such an extent as to cause apprehension. Friday night at 10 o'clock the tug passed Hatteras light and she was run ning safely before the wind and sea. At 10:20 p. m. the men on the schooner shouted to Captain Snell to slow down so they could pump out the vessel. This was done, and In fifteen minutes he heard them shouting in alarm an 1 when he looked back the schooner ha filled with water and rolled over on her beam ends. It appeared that the schooner had suddenly bursted op?n and was going down in a few minutes. It was very dark and the men on boar.i were appealing distressfully for help. Captain Snell had the hauser cut im mediately, to keep the tug from going down with the sinking ship, and then turned back to the wreck to rescue th? three men if possible. The sea was o rough, however, that the schooner had gone to pieces and the cabin, quarter deck and other parts drifted past the tug. He got close enogh to see two of the men clinging to the mainmast and heard them begging and praying to be taken off. The seas were so high it was impossible to get alongside the schooner and as the wreck drifted away and kept going to the bottom, he could hear the cries of the men till the schooner sank out of sight. The men were all friends of Captain Snell and he says It was awful to think he was powerless to save them. When near the wreck he launched a life boat and with a line attached to her he let it drift up to the wreck with the hope that the men could get into it. The wreckage and seas, however, smashed the life boat to pieces, as If defying his efforts. Hp laid around the scene three hours but could see nor hear nothing of the men. A storm was coming on and the tug ran before It into Norfolk to wait a favorable opportunity to re turn to Wilmington. jjk The Gardener M V-Xr I The Houscvile I Thry rot a liltle more.

At the 1901 annual meeting of the Southeastern Traffic Association, it was ordered that after May 1. 1901 ten cents should be addel to the rates on all stocks of merchandise. When the re cent increase of 25 per cent was order ed, the local board of underwriters of Wilmington requested the association for authority to deduct tne recenuv added 10 cents before increasing the rate of 25 per cent. This request was refused by the Southeastern Tariff As sociation The Carolina Insurance Company of this city, thrugh its secretary. Mr. S. Willard. then took up the matter and addressed a letter to the Southeastern Tariff Association urging reasons whv the 10 cents charges should not be added tn rfpnt 25 ner cent increase. As a result of this correspondence. Mr Charles C. Flemming. secretary of the Southeastern Tariff Association, no f?Q Mr willard that asrents here ar- o.i'hiriTH hereafter to omit the ten cents charge wherever It has oeen in inrtoi in the nrinted rate After this date the merchants or v. . - mintrtnn will, therefore, be relteveu ot this charge of ten cents coodst The ancients supposed that rheumatism was caused by the flowing of . watery humor, hence the name, which is derived from two Greek words meaning a- wat ery humor" and "to flow." But we know that rheumatism arises from a poison circulating in the blood. It will occur to the sensible person, that to cure this disease demands the cse of means that will banish all poisonous material from the blood. To accomplish this, it is only necessary to use for a reasonable length of timo the remedy that has been curing rheu matism for half a century. That remedy is Dr. Ilarter's Iron Tonic. It purifies the blood; that is what it is for: It cures because it is a foe to all blood im purities, and because it makes new, rich blood. When the blood is thoroughly re newed and in its normal condition, rheu matism must necessarily disappear. m Get the genuine. Don't take any substitute. There is no remedy that is as good as Dr. Ilarter's Iron Tonic Detroit, Mich, Jan. 10, 1901. I commenced using your Iron Tonic when prostrate from a severe attack or rheumatism. After using three bottles, all traces of this disease were completely eradicated from my system, and my gen eral health was restored. As a blood purifier Dr. Ilarter's Iron Tcr.ic has no equal, and I most sincerely recommend it to all persons suffering from indigestion, fatigue, rheumatism, ard the many weakened conditions of the system produced by impoverished blcotL , Marguerite P.
