RE-CAPTURE OF MURRAY

THE ESCAPED MAORI.

[PSB PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

Ohbistohukoh, November 16. Bowlei, tal'or, at St Albaue, a northern suburb of Chrlstohurc' 1 , saw a man resembling Murray paas his shop ai 6 a.m. to-day. He communioated with th* polloe two hours later, and tho St Albars and Papsnul constables have been on the look-out fur the fugitive all day without success. Thi* afternoon the Mayor of 1 yttelton received a reply to the telegram sent last night taking that asslstanoe should be given to the police to capture Murray. It was to the effeot that Instructions would be given to the Permanent Artillery and warders to assist the police, and was signed by Oolonel Hui»e. Ghbibtohurcf, November 17. Murray has been run to earth at last. He was caught about half-past two this morning In the Lyttelton tunnel after an exciting chase. The otptura was effected by Constable O'Connor and artillery man Mayne, who had to fire nevaral times on the Maori before he gave m. Full details later.

DETAILS OF THE CAPTURE

Murray is at last In the hands of the polloe. He vrta captured at half past two this morntag m the Lyttelton tunnel. When leave w»b gWen t> employ the per manent Artillerymen In chase, Sergeant O'taallep, ths officer m charge of the Lyttelton polioe, divided bis force into patrole of two men each, stationing them m varioai oommandlog parta of the town and violnlty. Two artillery men named Stanley, aod Constable MoOormaok, who captured Murray after bis first eioape, m Salt's gully, were ambushed not far above the month of tbe tunnel. At a few Ententes after two o'clock they saw Murray carrying three small Backs and creeping along opposite them. They made a dash it him, the Maori dropped the bags and made off, the officers m hot pnrsult. The polioe encombered with revolvers and great coats were rather at » disadvantage. An exciting obase through the streets ensued McOormaek leading the pursuit, and now and then firing Ineffectually at the Maori. A few blasts of a whistle brought the other patrols up In hot haste and enabled them to head off the fugitive wbo had rnndown tbe hill on to tbe breastwork and wharves, and turn him m among the railway trucks. For a few momenta he was lost to view, then Hatherly, a oivillan, suggested that he had entered the tunnel. A lantern was procured, and May no, Oonstab'e sO'OoDnor and several others, dashed m *fter Murray. About half way through j they found the* Maori oronohed m the gutter between the water pipe and the wall. The two above Darned pounced on him, and seeing the odds overwhelmingly against him the Maori this time made no reslstenoe. He treated theanSlr phlloav ph'oally, explaining tbat ho had Intended running right through tho tunnel, but stopped on feeing lights at tho oth«r end. He took these to be the lights of policemen watching tbe tunnel. Ar a mattet of faot they were platelayers. The bigs be dropped were found to conUln provisions. Murray was taken to Lyttolton look-up {n a cheerful mood whloh sustained him h rough an early breakfast and until 1m waa brought to Ohrlstchurob where he was brought up at the -R M. Oourt and re manded till Friday. In tbe bags were found provisions and a butcher's knife with the point bent aa if by prizing opea windowr: Murray admitted having been at Rice »r ton las* Saturday, bub did not ray anything ♦boat the Lyttelton burglaries. Ho sayi lie will escape again soon. After hit arrest a resident of Lyttelton, oamed Bacon, reported that his bouse bad been broken into about 1 a.m. and a quantity of food stolen. Tbla was found among the provisions In Mnrray's bags. £Le waa n eating a oap Ukeu from the Rev J. Bill' a home and tr oncers stolen from Hani at Rleoarton. He says tbat when caught be was on hii way to Banks' Peninsula and stated that Sergoant O'Malley and Constable Bleasel, twice ptistd olose to him on the hills. His capture oaused Interne exoltement m Lyttelton where a number of civilians •Milted the police m tbe ohaae.

The following * H1 ba of Interest to Ashburtonltes, as Jt relates to a gentleman well-known among o*i» nd who » * B ° n of Mr R. S. Bean, of Wust Street. It la taken from the " Kumara Times of the 6th Init :— There hue been a maiked Im provement In the attendance at Holy Trinity Chnroh ilnoa the arrival end daring the mlntitratlona of the Rev W. 8. Bean, and yesterday, being a fioe Sunday, there w«a a large oongrega tlon at church In the evening, and the largest offertory- during his Incntn- JbeDoy and for some years baolr, The reverend gentleman took for b(i tent part ot the 7th verse of the 14 v .b chapter cf RereJ&tlone, "These aro they whioh oame oat of great tribulation," etc., making special refer enoe In an elcqaent discourse to the late All Saints' festival. Althongh oomparatlraly a young man, and bronght up In this colony, Mr Bean has acquired excellent theological talents. He baa a good delivery, and bis diteoarsee are logical, eloquent, and fervent. In printed reoords we fiod that Walter Stanley Bean first distinguished himself at the Provincial Government Sohool In Katapof, by obtaining, m 1868, * fonr years scholarship, and he entered Ohrlst's Collegel Grammar School, Ohrlsfchurcr, In JB7O. He holds fjur certificates of effiolenoy at eliminations under the Board of Tbeologlo»l Studies at Obrletohuroh. Id 1879 he was a first class certificate In the First Grade. Next year he took up nine out of ten snVjeota In Qrade 11.. passing very satisfactorily. In 1881 (September 23r<3) he passed Grade 111., and on the following Sunday (September 25tb) be was admitted to deacon's orders, •nd became assistant curate to the Rev W. Harper, In the parish of Leeaton and Bouthbrldge, In 1883, Mr Bean crowned his pr«7lous saccetsful examinations m Theologloal Studies by obtaining a second class a certificate In Grade IV , with the large hnmber of 4874 marks out of a possible 6600. This entitles him to waar the hood granted by authority of the Board of Theolog!o»l Studies, and saoc iloned by the Primate. On Scptom fcer 23td, 1883, the Rev Walter Stanley Bean, then assistant curate of Bt Miobafll's, Ghrlsfohurob, was admitted to the priesthood by the Moat Rev the Primate, at the Cathedral. The candidate was presented by the Tery Rev the P«san, who, together with the Rev Walter Harper and the Rer W. H. Elton, took part with the Bishop m the laying on of hands. And on the 7*h Ifoyember, In the same year, the Bishop licensed the 2Uv W. S. Bean to the cure of the District of Bf aWern, whioh In •elndea Sheffield Hororata, aodßprlngfield. Here he labored saece3sfally for five wars, till he oame to Kumars, la the beginning of last August. We wish the rarerend gentleman socoess In this his new parochial district. Eo may be said to combine the good qualities of two of bUpredeeeMOW— th«x>n* as a pastor and the other as a preaehor. Hfs only trouble hate seems to be the praiant debt on the jharth and parsonage, whioh only aiKPanti, we believe, to between £63 and £70.

WILD MEN OF THE WOODS

Tbe following interesting letter from tbe pea of Count Jouffroy D'Abbans, tho French Consul at Wellington, has been published m tbe *' Evening Press " : — Si fj — For tbe Information of your cor respondent " Baboon," allow me to supply you with come particulars concerning the jyild human tribes be inquires about. These tribes are now to be found, not m Burmab, bat a little more south, m the Malay Peninsula. Their number is rapidly decreasing, but at tho present date, I think, two or three thousand of them are estimated to exist, according to the census m the Straits Settlomeut Tho Malaya call these peoplo the " Orang-Outan," literally " men of the woods." They are quite different frofn the kind of monkey which ia Improperly named " Orang. outang. 0 Thfl word ' 4 outang," m Malty language, moans "a dobtpr." Tbe savage people called " Orang outan " are rather hairy, aa tboj are cearjy nudo I saw many of them, mpn and wpmon, without any dress at all. Some hvra a bolt of bark or old clothes given them by Malays or white men. For dwellings thoy adopt some trees m the bush, make ' some rough stepson the trunks, and arrange a sort of floor with branches and creepers oQt fit the reaoh of the tigers and other ferooioos beastp. Tbeir language is hardly articulated, and amormts to less than a hundred sounds. They etnuof count more than up to four or five. It you entire (of oours* by signs) from them how many 6b|ldron they have, m oaee they have more than foyr, tbpy gnswor, plenty, by great demonstrations of thely hands. Their food consists mainly of roots, fruit, fish, birds' op snakes' eggs, generally eaten raw. Bat they know the use of fire. With B box of vestas you pould obteln anything you wish from them. Tbe only Malay word they know generally is " Apl ' (fire). The tribe of the • Onng-Oitan " Is certainly the link whloh separates tbe genus man from the genus monkty, These wjld people sometimes dwell tn canoes made from bark or from a hollow trunk. Then they are oalled " Orang-Ltkut," /men of water) Tbef are born, they live and they di« ID Ihelr Vjanoea, jfrblch cnu!d not live at aaa.

"Likut" are b-archcoof tho aamo f*ra'ly the la'.tcr looking ra'.her Icaa wild, owing to the faot that fcholr wandarlcg Hfo brings them morj into contact with the Malays and white p-oplo. Their food is exclu sively fish and Bhelta. No doubt these fellow-oroatures of ours ere tho aboriginals of the southern part of Asia, having been drlvea away by tho Invading Tartar* aud others. I hnvj Lean told that a few of them exist now at Sumatra, hat I never I mat any of them thore. The Negritos of Mindano lalaad, one of the PhlUJplnea, ; are of the aarno opeolcu ; maybe they form a link o r the chain, a little nonrer t ) the civilised man and very little farther removed from tho monkey than tho Ornng-Outan. I mot also In Borneo, not far from Brunol, aborigines, rather hairy, nndroased and treated with the utmost disgust by the wild and uncivilised Dyaks, who wear belts and largo hats made of dried leavoa They dwell on trees like their brother of Malacca, aod are disappearing m the same way. The Sultan of Borneo, npoaking with me about them, said : " Thore wild fel'ows generally count np to five ; but if I order them to bring mo, as a tribute, five rattan basketa, they cannot then count even up to two." That ahowr that the last representatives of the primitive man are not absolutely devoid of cunning — I am, etc , Ohab. Joukjtroy D'Abbans

THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.

The: labors of the dauntless men who, m the cause of civilization, of science, and of religion, have within the past quarter of a century performed prodigies of pluck and perseverance m penetrating the pathless interior of Central Africa, and among whom the names of Livingstone, Stanley, Baker, Bpeke, Grant, and Bishop Hannington fill the foremost place, are bringing about, nay havo brought about already, the most wonderful and valuable re sults. A vast field has been discovered for the energy and enterprise of the Western nations, and scope afforded for the' development of largo schemes of colonisation, while ever-broadening avenues for commerce have been opened up, along which will flow increasing volumes of trade between the busy hives of Europe and the teeming millions of this hitherto terra incognita. Nor have the nations of the Old World been m different to the opportunities thus afforded, or^low to turn them to account England, Franco, Germany, Portugal all having hoisted their respective flags over vast territories, and the foundations of what will at no distant day become largo and populous European settle ments having already been laid. With all this goes of course the making of roads, the opening up of the magnificent water-wajs, a fleet of steamers, the construction of lines of telegraph and of railway, the cultivation of the land, the multiplication of flocks and herds — m a word, civilisation and progress. But the flood of light which, through the labors of the noble pioneers, some of whose names we have mentioned, has been let m upon the thick darkness that for centuries has enwrapped what has been fitly termed the dark continent, has not only shown us that Central Africa— instead of being the unin habited and uninhabitable waterless desert which it had been supposed — con tains immense tracts of fertile country watered by noble rivers, and splendid lakes, offering almost a new world as a theatre of operations for colonisation and commerce, it has also revealed the existence of a system of slavery and slave-dealing with all its attendant miseries, which calls for the prompt interference of Christian nations. Our readers havo no doubt from time to time perused more'or less graphic accounts of the state of things which prevails, but an article which appeared m a rocent issue of the New York " fciun " paints the picture m colors which are absolutely startling. That journal says : — •' The destruction wrought m Central Africa by Arab slave dealers within- the past five or six years is appalling. In regions where Livingstone, Stanley, and Cameron saw largo populations, no human inhabitants can now bo found. Most of them have j been captured or slaughtered, and remnants of tribes have escaped into other districts. These regions are included betw«en 22deg. and 32dog. east longitude, and between 3deg. and 12deg. south latitude, and embrace an area of nearly 100,000 square miles. Among the moat entertaining writings of Livingstone and Stanley are their descriptions of the beautiful land of the Manyema, west of Lake Tanganyika, and its unique inhabitants, and all these, as Gleerup now reports, have com pletely disappeared except the gangs of Manyema slaves who work the Arab plantations along the caravan route. The path of Arab devastation extends straight west from Lake Tanganyika, past Nyangwe to the Upper bankuru five hundred jmiles, and for a breadth of seventy-five miles hardly a native has been left to tell of the awful invasion. It was m the western part of this district that Lieut. Wissmann m 1882 visited a Beno Xi town whose single street extended for ten miles, whoso huts were twenty feet high and surrounded by neat courtyards, whose men toiled m the fielda behind the houses, while all the inhabitants bade the stranger welcome, and about 5000 of them visited hie camp that evening. Two years ago Wieemann passed again through that place. 'X here was nothing loft of tho happy homesteads. m tho tall grass that choked the long street were found many charred poles and bleached ekullß. Thjo hordes of Tippu Tib within six months had paid t^reo murderous visits to this large settlement. Many wpmon were carried off, all who offered were killed, and the fields, gardens, and banana groves were laid wasJiO. 6maUpox f introduced by Iho Arabs, and famine completed thp tragedy. The powerful tribe of Bono Xi had ceased to exist, and only a few individuals had escaped south to Zappu Zapp, a chief who was himself a refugee from Arab aggression. Along 300 miles of the Congo, between Nyangwo and Stanley Falls, the Arabs, according jto G}eerup and Lenz, havo depopulated about 15,00j0 square uq[lqb of territory. The numerous tribes whom Stauloy first saw have become slaves or m greatly d/eplp^ed numbers wander through the forests far from tho river. About 10,000 square miles of tho rolling prairies west of Tippu Tib's homo at Kasongo havo been utterly drained of their people. About 20,000 square miles on the western headwaters of the Copgo are no longer a profitable field of slave banting. In the very region whore Livingstone died and where his heart was buried, extending southeast from Lako Ban vreolo, and embracing about 15,000 square miles, tho Arabs, we aro told by £jiraud ? have completely ravaged tho country. A»4 from, all j^eje cenjpe o f

devastation the paths of the destro>erßr leading to slave mnrts and shipping I points may be traced by the bones of the victims who fall by the way." Our American contemporary concludes with the remark that •' It cannot be possible that I lie civilised world will much longer permit this colossal criiro of the century to add to its murderous results without taking earnest measures to put a stop to it," and it will now be understood how urgent is the necessity for those vigorous measures for the suppression of this iniquitous trade m human flesh, which are now certain to bo carried out, England, Germany, and France having joined hands m the work, and dispatched a combined squadron for the capture and destruction of vessels engaged m the nefarious business of slavers.
