of 1 FRIDAY MORNING, THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. FEBRUARY 16. 1900. 11 MURDER OF SEA CAPTAIN BY DRUNKEN MATE Terrible Tragedy on Philadelphia Schooner in a Lonely Northern Bay. REVENGE WAS THE MOTIVE The Assassin Arrested and Will- be Brought to Trial in Portland, Maine.

A ghastly murder, with the accompaniments of a haunted ship and the assassin's remorse, form a weird story told by William M. Patterson, one of the crew of the Philadelphia schooner J. B. Van Dusen, who arrived in this city from Portland, Maine, yesterday. With the exception of Patterson the members of the crew are held under the custody Deputy United States Marshal Hasby, Portland, as witnesses.

Capof tain George Baisley was the victim, and Elmer Maxwell is held in close confinement, accused of the crime. The J. B. Van Dusen is well known this port, where she has been a regular trader for years. About the 1st of November she sailed St.

Johns, N. and within weeks shocking story was refor. vealed in a dispatch of the brutal murder of her master. Reduced for Drunkenness. Elmer Maxwell had been the mate of the Van Dusen.

It was said that he was hard drinker, however, and stories are current at this port of many a dereliction duty while he was intoxicated. While the schooner was speeding on her northern voyage the mate was helpless, and, when anchor was finally dropped at St. Johns, Captain Baisley deposed him. This was 011 the afternoon of November 11 and that night the master of the Van Duseu was murdered. While the schooner lay in the lonely Bay of Fundy, with half her crew ashore.

Captain Balstey was horribly stabbed and almost decapitated. Mate's Escape Cut Off. Those of the crew who witnessed the tragedy hastily decamped for the shore in the last boat that remained on the schooner, and thus the escape of the mate was frus. trated. In the meantime a sudden storm arose and the Van Dusen dragged her anchor.

With the murdered man and the corpse of the victim she drifted down the bay and when the authorities put out from shore to capture the assassin the vessel had disappeared. This in itself was sufficient to awaken a'l the superstition of the sailors' natures. They flatly refused to board the launch with the Marshal, and he was obliged to swear in deputies to enable him to make the arrest. The schooner was found two miles below the town. Maxwell submitted to hiseaptors without resistance and he was carried back to town and imprisoned in the fortress, leaving the Van Dusen with no other occupant than the mutilated corpse.

Sailors Again Flee. The next day she was worked up to her former anchorage and the crew again domiciled themselves aboard her. That day also witnessed the burial of captain, and incidentally the flight of sailors for the the second time from the ill-fated craft, owing to fancied ghostly manifestations. Nothing would again induce them to board the schooner and it became necessary to ship another crew to take her to Portland, Maine, where Maxwell's trial will be held. The expenses of the men have been paid there by the government, as all, with the exception of Patterson, are wanted as witnesses.

COAL SCARES A HORSE Goes on a Rampage Near the Public Buildings. Result: Two Men, One Horse and Two Vehicles More or Less Injured. Considerable excitement was caused on the east side of the City Hall yesterday afternoon by a frightened horse. Amos Dotterer, a wealthy brick manufacturer, of 1325 South Broad street, was driving alone, Juniper street in a buggy. Near Juniper Market streets coal was being thrown into one of the manholes in the pavement of the Public Buildings.

The noise frightened the horse, which shied and pulled the buggy directly in front of a trolley car. The car struck the buggy with sufficient force to send it half way across Juniper street. The force of the collision threw Mr. Dotterer out, and he, fortunately, escaped with a few bruises. On the west side of Juniper street Charles Squires of 2641 Chadwick street.

was seated on a cab belonging to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The flying buggy erashed into his cab, knocking him from his seat. He. too, was lucky and escaped without being injured. By this time both horses were prancing and kicking.

Their harness became entangled, and in their wild desire to break away they kicked and bit each other. In the struggle. Mr. Dotterer's horse was impaled by the shaft of the cab and was almost disemboweled. Finally the horses were separated and injured animal was taken to a stable in neighborhood.
