Three .Seamen Sanrocatd lh their 'l f1'"1 ro '.l!k8t,Te Two: tOther In a Critical Condition from the Same Cause Particulars of the Terrible A flair. . j This city was the scene yesterday morn ing of a most distressing calamity and oae which has caused a thrill jf horror through out the entire community The circum stances as we could gather them are as fol lows: The German Barquentine Addlpf Capt Hermann Henricbson, arrived at this port from Richmond, Va,, in ballast, on Thursday, night or Friday morning, and landed at the wharf in the rear of the old W. & W. R. R. Depot.; It, seems that the vessel had touched in comjng over the bar and was leaking somewhat, and all hands were busily engaged on Friday at the pumps to free the vessel" of water About . 9 . or 9J o'clock the men, worn out with fatigue, retired to the fore castle and turned in v for the night. Soon after the Captain ; and mate also re tired. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a colored stevedore, who had been en gaged the day previous to assist in remov ing the ballast from the vessel,- went on board, aroused the mate aud told him he, was ready to go to work. The mate went forward and called the men, but they re turned no answer. - He then remarked to the stevedore, "They must be dead." He then called the Captain and the two proceed ed to the forecastle. Ode of them jwent below and soon returned with thelstart- ling intelligence that some of the men were dead and the others nearly in the same condition. Capt. Henricbson immedi ately sent to "a neighboring ship for as sistance, when two of the men, in whose frames the spark of life had not quite been I extinguished, were first removed and cared for, and then, the three .others, who were dead, were , also brought up and ranged upon the deck. In the meantime physi cians had been sent for and Drs. Cutlar, Lane, "Walker and Bellamy soon arrived and commenced a vigorous application of re storatives; but at the latest accounts the two men were still in H very critical condi tion. .... Coroner Hewlett was notified of the death of the three men, and in the meantime they were removed to the Seamen's Home, on Dock street, .where, at 3 P.' M.,. thejury met and exained the bodies. r? The following comprised the fury: R. P.. Eyden; J. J. King, JjasH. Filly aw, P. H. O'Brien, Joel E. Farrow, J. ,A, Jordan, J, S. Jenks, I. H. Rhodes, E. S. Woodford, Thos. Smith, W. W. Yopp, Thos. E. Skip per. ' " '..;.k. v'k-''-- "" ' After examining into all the facts and circumstances connected with the sad af -1 fair, tbe inquest was adjourned until Mon day afternoon at 3 o'clock, in order to await some change in the condition of the two men yet alive. . .kJThe: cause of this-awful calamity, by wfaiieh the souls of ' three hale, hearty, robust men have been hurried into eterni ty, is attributed to the inhalation of carbon ic oxide gas, Engendered by the burning of bituminous coal; It appears that the fore castle is separated from the galley by a par tition, a board from which had been re moved to allow the , heat from the stove to circulate in the . forecastle for the purpose of keeping the .men warm. The three men wlp were found dead slept in the part of the forecastle near the partition and consequently in close proximity to the stove. ;The other two were in their bunks, one above the other, in'the opposite end of the forecastle ana close to a window or ventillater, which was open about the width of two" fingers and .' through which a slight current of air found admission j The cap of the stove pipe was usually placed in such a manner: that the wind could not blow down it, but it seems the wind shifted du ring Friday night , and the smoke and gas which usually found egress through the stare-pipe was forced back . into the galley and thence into the forecastle through the open space before alluded to. . . It should have been stated in the proper place that the captain aid mate found the covering to the entrance of the forecastle fastened on 'the inside, there being no fastening on the outside, and they had to' wrench the door from its hinges. One of the men ' was found on the floor, having rolled out of his bunk. When an entrance was first effected the smoke and gas was stifling and the Captain and mate had to withdraw a few minutes and allow some of U to;escap&.,,v;.-7:,i. .-''7:. The names of the unfortunate men . are follows: -Hermann Kellerman, aged 18, an able seaman; William Schutt, aged 42, also an able seaman; Hrmann Helta, cook, aged 17. The latter, we now . learn, was alive when first found, but died in few minutes. - The vessel hails from Earth, Germany, . and the ' men are 11 fmm that nlace and vicinity. The two men still alive are brothers, both with large families, nd are named Christian Schutt, aged about 42, and Hermich Schutt, aged about 36. ; ' ''. We would state that no blame is attached to the captam or mate, as far as we have been able to learn,for what has happened to their men; and it was shown in evidence before the Coroner's jury, that no intoxicat ing liquors bad been used by them.' - v - fltsiyorfs Covrt - - : .

VILMINGTON,rN. C, SUNDAY JANUARY 4vri87i SUPERIOR COCRT. Conclusion ofthe Carter Trial Tbe Prlsouer Discharged Without the Case Belns Given to the Jury The Grounds for this Proceeding, fce. On the assembling of the . Court yester-. day morning, J. M. Wise being introduced, testified that on the mornintr of the mur- . , . , .. der, coming into the city about 10 or 11 o'clock and near the seene of the homi cide, he met a white woman! in a sun-bon-' net and commonly dressed, who in general appearance, size, bonnet and complexion corresponded with that of the prisoner at the bar, a black boy of the size and geuer al appearance Of David Martin and a dog resembling one he has seen near Mrs. Car ter's residence, going out of town. Mrs. Carter has changed her dress and her gen eral appearance is not the same she pre. sented during 'the six days trial before the Magistrate. Cross-examined, the "witness said he would not undertake to identify the wpman he met, the boy or the dog. There were hundreds of such like in the city. Mr. Cassidey, the Clerk of the Court, pro duced the record of tbe conviction of David Martin, charged in the bill of indictment now pending as the principal felon. Objec tion was made to its reception on the ground that judgment of death having been pro nounced thereon an appeal had been taken from that judgment to the Supreme Court. Mr. Empie insisted that that appeal vacated not only the iudtrmient but the entire . con- action also. . Tbe Solicitor in reply con- IVUULU ' lUQk OUtU n(U ilUI. UO V.JUL&I tl the appeal; that the conviction was not dis turbed; that the verdict and all the other proceedings remained. The effect of the appeal was simply to vacate the judgment, and he cited authorities. "HLn addition he said that he had no other or better evidence to offer in -his judgment to prove the guilt of the principal, and that proof was indis pensable to the further prosecution of the in dictment ' The Judge asked if the State had no other evidence for the" prosecution than this record. The Solicitor replied that there was, but it was of little value, and if the counsel for David Martin did his duty, and he had no doubt he would, this evi dence would not be heard. The Judge ruled the record out. David . Martin was then put'dn the stand, v At the;' request of counsel the Court cautioned David Martin not to answer any question tending to crimi nate himself. The Solicitor said, lie would ask no improper question. He asked David, " Did Mrs. Carter offer you money to put her son Willie to death?" jThe question was not objected to, but the witness refused to answer and the Court refused to compel an answer, after argument, on the ground that the answer might tend to criminate the witness. The Solicitor then asked David, " Are you acquainted with Mrs; Elizabeth Carter ?" The witness refused to answer arid the Court refused to compel him to answer on the ground that it had no power to compel a witness to answer except by mprisonment, and this witness was already in close custody. The Solicitor remarked that if the conviction had been nullified by the appeal he was improperly in custody under such conviction, and he renewed the application, now that he bad no other eri-j dence of the principal's guilt, F for leave to read the record of the conviction under which the witness was said to be imprison, ed. The Court refused. Mrs: Wiggs recalled. Question, "How old did - those stripes, bruises and marks you saw on Willie Car ter appear to be? , Ana. Between two and three days old. Question: How did, Willie say they came there? The question objected to. The Solicitor read the case of the State j. Harriss, 63 N. C. reports, page and contended that the declarations of the de ceased as to the condition of his body were admissable. Mr. Empie insisted that such declarations could not be heard so as to charee a third party with felony. This evi dence was ruled out. The Solicitor fhen offered to prove by this witness and others that Willie Carter said his ma had" put them there, and shortly before the i homicide he was in mortal terror Of her and said that she would kill him.- - The court held these declarations also in competent , The Solicitor. then. said the State had no further evidence to offer and the evidence before the Court was not suffi cient in his opinion to justify a conviction of the defendant, whereupon the Court directed the Clerk to enter averdict of 4 'not euilty," and the defendant was discharged. We understand that in fact the murder of Willie Carter by David Martin cannot be established in any other way than by his own confession. These confessions are of course no evidence against Mrs. Carter and it was therefore useless tb; prolong the trial, there being no evidence outside of these declarations- and the evidence of ill-treat ment, which was ruled i out, to implicate her in any way. .'" !

Dear Brother : ' ; t ""t. . I am very much obliged for the pains you have taken togive me information respect ing Rev: C. W; Warren, 4f alsely so-called.', He came here . with , credentials signed by Bishop Cavanaugh, and professed to have been a member of the Louisiana Confer ence, but had a certificate of location. Said he was tired of the South and wanted to unite "with this Conference (West Virginia) of Methodist Episcopal Church, or with the Virginia Conference of the same church. He called himself Lucius F. Hor ton. He preached here, and at Volcano,' in this district, with great acceptability. The people, generally, were delighted with his preaching and lecturing,- and he made himself very agreeable in the families and social circle.' The portrait you sent me is an excellent one the k man' exactly; also your description of him. Rev. L. F. Hor ton here, was Rev. C. W. Warren in Wil mington, N. C. He behaved here with propriety and decorum. The circumstances that aroused suspicion were : the following: The minister's wife at Volcano noticed the name of "Warren" on some of his shirts that -he left nt to be washed. He said, however, that they had belonged to a cous in that had died recently. Then he had teld the brethren there that he had preached and lectured in Wilmington, " N. C, and that the young men presented , him with a cane. When his trunk came on he told them there .was" his. cane, as. he handed : it out k But he ' did " not un wrap it He was told to hang it up, which he did. Curiosity led the brother and sister whom he was stopping with to look at his cane,andit had the name of Rev.XJ. W. War ren on it. He said that it had belonged to a brother-in-law of his, but he had one of his own. Afterwards they examined his carpet sack and he had credentials for Rev Coplin as well as Horton. Then Bro. Way man, pastor at Volcano, wrote to a member of .Louisiana Uonierence ior inrormation concerning him, and received answer that he was " a fraud, impestor, a wretch," &c. Horton, otherwise Warren, after preaching at Volcano awhile: came and preached in this place, Parkersburg, and also lectured on Temperance.,.- lie mingled freely with the people and behaved with great proprie ty. He ate at my table several times, and my family were much pleased with him. lie was to have dined at my House on tne day he left with Dr. Rosser, of your church, j S TXT n.!-.. lff!1U- ...AA.

But before he could accom plish this, Bro. Wayman and Bro. Bolton, our pastor here, overtook him at the house where be was stopping- and naa an inter view with him. They searched bis valise, and discovered his various credentials, &cv, and subjected him to a searching examina tion, satisfying themselves that he was an impostor, and insisting that he should come .with them to my house and have his case examined before me. lie at nrst refused, but afterward promised to meet them. - He came at the' time appointed, : but' they not being present, he would not stay, saying ne had not had any dinner.
