Alarming Spread of yellow Fever at
Guaymas--Thc Disease Propagated by
Heat and FiIth.

GUAYMAs, Mex, Sept. 22-Nine deaths from
yellow fever have been reported during the last
twenty-four hours. The thermometer has risen
TO 97o. Fears are again entertained that, un-
der the great heat and filthy condition of the
streets, the fever will again increase and spread
Eleven pew cases were reported yesterday. Not
enough rain fell to clean the streets, and the
hot sun following has tended to increase mala-
ria. The increase of deaths and new cases has
driven the people almost frantic, not knowing
whether they should flee from the city, on re-
main, in the hope that the worst has passed
The members of the board of health have
proved themselves utterly incompetent to deal
with the matter. 1t is rumored that Delvalle,
the millionaire OF this city, who fled to the
country, has died. No news has been received
from Hermosillo.
Capt. Caverly, of the steamship Colima,
which touched off MaZatlan, on its way up
from Panama, in speaking of the yellow fever
along the Mexican coast, confirms the reports
of the burial OF the dead by hand of hired
Indians. who, he says, roamed from house to
house, gathering the corpses as a garbage man
would make his rounds. This resulted, says
Capt. Caverly, in many persons being buried
alive. In one case a man was taken MP for
/ dead and was earted away and buried in less
than half an hour. 1t was rumored that a
noise was heard in the box as it was being
carted off. A friend, hearing of this, went to
the cemetery, disinterred the remains and
found that the man had turned over during
the agony of suffocation Eight hundred
deaths from fever are reported there.

THE ST. ALBANS TRUST co.
An Immediate TffaI of Hts Indicted o fic.
inIs.

| ST. ALBANs. VT, Sept. 22.-State Alto rney
A. A. Rich,who conducted the investigation OF
the TrustCompany's affairs before their anklin
county grand jury, says that he shall move for
trial OF the indicted president and directors
at the present term of court. 1t is not improb-
| able that counsel for some of the accused will
| file demurrers to the indictments on the
! ground that the following provisions of the
charter of the st. Albans Trust Company were
abrogated and annulled by subsequent legisla-
tion and general laws passed relating to saw
ings bank and trust companies. The indict-
ments were based on these sections of the
Trust Company's charter: That no loan should
be made directly or indirectly TO any director
or officer or employe of said corporation; that
said corporation should be subject to all the
provisions of sections twenty-five, tWenty-six,
tWenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine,
tnirty, thlrty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three,
thlrty-iour and thirty-fve OF chapter eighty
SIX OF the general statutes, and that any di-
rector or other officer of said corporation who
shall misapply or di vert the money, funds or
other trust property conffded to and accepted
Dy SAID corporation from the purposes and OBJ
Ject prescribed by this act, or who shall partic-
pate in such misapplieation or diversion, shall
on conviction thereof be punished by impris-
onment in the State prison not to exceed five
years and be fined not to exceed $1,000, or
either OF said punishments, in the discretion
of the court. Only one Indictment was pre-
sented against Herbert Brainerd and A. G.
Brainerd, the grand jury finding that while
acting as directors of the Trust Company they
had borrowed $500 each on memorandum
checks. E. Porter Brainerd was indicted for
effecting a loan of $500; Charles Wyman for
borrowing $780, The grand jury failed to find
any ground for indeting Heber Burgess, the
treasurer Of the Trust Com pany. Herbert
Brainerd has had no connection with the Trust
Company since 1881, having resigned as direc-
tor that year.
1t is authortatively stated that the Norwood
Lumber Company, which was run almost
entirely by Lawrence Brainerd, presnent of
the st. Albans Trust Company, owes the lat
ter corporation some three or four hundred
thousand dollars, of which very little can be
paid.

A Densented Texan Sues BAY Gould and
1876 Oahers.

GALVESTON, Sept. ga man named
Hughes, who prior to the war was enormously
rich has had an insane idea for some time past
that a number of persons have entered into a
conspiracy to defraud him out Of his property.
Before the war he owned large estate, but it
gradually slipped out of his hands from vari-
ous causes, and today he is in very reduced cir
cumstances. He thinks he has been systemati-
cally robbed, and has frequently threatened to
kill the people who are now owners Of his form
er property, claiming that they were trespass-
ing on his domains and he did not propose to
submit to it. Recently line Of railroad was
built across some land which he formerly
owned near Hughes springs, and the almost
demented man attacked the surveyor with
gun ana drove him off the premises This was
the last straw that broke the camel's back, and
he Immediately filed the present suit. He
charges no less than 1877 defendants, with Jay
Gould at their head, with fraud, oppression
and illegality, many of them living in widely
different parts of the state. OF them jointly
he demands 81 800, 900 damages, and in addi-
tion rental of $1,000 day for the use OF his
lands since the spring of 1877. The trial is an
ticipared with much interest, though no one
imsgines the poor fellow will collect cent of
his claims.

THE ARCTIC REGIONS.
Report of NOrdensikjold's Expedition-Tid-
ings from the Greeley Expedition.


LONDON, Sept. 22.-Advices from Professor
Nordenskjold's expedition to Greenland have
been received at Copenhagen. They state
that the expedition started from Antleiksivick
on the 4th of September, and reached a dis
tance of $50 kilometres inland, attaining a
height of 1000 feet above the level of the sea.
This is the first time that human beings have
penetrated so far into Greenland. The whole
region is an ice desert, proving that there is no
open water inland. Very valuable scientific
data have been obtained. Along the north
west coast cold stream flows, which induces
a very low temperature, but on the eastern
shore the weather is not so severe, and that
coast is accessible to steamers in autumn. The
expedition will return via Reikjavik. When
the party were 140 kilometres east of the gla-
cier border, the soft snow prevented them from
proceeding on sleds. Laplanders were there
fore sent on with snow shoes. The rest of the
expedition visited the northwest coast Ebe-
tween Weigattel and Cape York. They were
Informed by Esquimaux that two members of
the American polar expedition had died and
that the rest had returned to Littleton Island
On the 18th of August the expedition sailed
south from Egedesminde, making short stays
at Wight and Fredericksdal, and tried to pro-
ceed eastward through the sound north of Cape
Farewell land thence along thecoast, but the ice
hindered them. They went outside the ice
fields to latitude &c, remaining constantly in
sight of land, having twice vainly tried to find
the shore free from ice more to the southwark.
A band of drift ice was forced south of Cape
Dan, and on Sept. 9th they anchored in ford
where remains OF the Norman period were
found This was the first time since the fif-
teenth century that vessel has succeeded in
anchoring on the east coast of Greenland south
of the polar circle. sAfter having tried vainly
to anchor in another ford more to the north,
they returned, and arrived at Reikjayik on
the 9th of September

BASE BALL.
The League Pennant.

The close of the last week but one of the
league season finds the fight for the pennant
practically narrowed down to two clubs-Bos-
ton and Providence. The former has an
advantage over the latter in having won one
more game, lost two less games and has one
more to play than her nearest rival Boston
has to play two more games with Buffalo and
three with Cleveland, while Providence has
one more to play with Cleveland and three
with Buffalo. Should each club win all the
remaining contests, the Bostons would win the
pennant by two games The Chicagos and
Clevelands will make an interesting fight for
the third place, with the chances decidedly in
favor of the Chicagos, as they have three
games to play with Philadelphia. The possible
victories for the several clubs is as follows:
Bostons, IS; Buffalos, SO; Chicagos, 80; Cleve-
lands, So; Detroits, Al New Yorks, 40; Phila-
delphias, %; Providence, 81.

Jacmel and Jeremie completely in the hands

sent from this port on the Foley was pur-
chased in Kington by agents of the rebels and
shipped to Jacmel in sailing vessels. An iron
steamer of English build called the "Eider"
was purchased from an English line running
among the islands and guards Jacmel against
all vessels attempting to land or assist the

Austrian and German frontier. Tenders have
been asked for $4,000 military beds, all rail-
ways have been ordered to have military cars
in readiness, a list has been made of private
steamers in the Black Sea, and their captains
have been ordered to prepare for transporta-
ton of ammunition, troops and provisions.
These vessels have ceased executing private
orders, and the carriage of corn is thus inter-
rupted. Enormous provision 1epots have been
established along the frontier, aud two army

RAILWAY NOTES.
The Consolidation.

Railway men say should such modification
of the Eastern lease be made as would bring
about consolidation of the Boston & Maine,
Eastern, and Maine Central railroads on terms
of equity, there would be no opposition, but
there is very general feeling along the line
of the Maine Central, they assert, against
turning over the control and management Of
that valuable property to the Boston & Maine.
The interests Of the Eastern and Maine Gen.
tral are largely identical, and the present
executive management of the two roads is the
same and is deservedly popular. Hence there
is feeling, it is said, that a change in the
management would be detrimental to Maine
Central interests. and that Its stockholders
could not expect from the Boston & Maine
such advantages as they now possess. What
may be the oatcome of the pending negotia-
tions between the directors of the Maine Cen
trail and those of the Boston & Maine there is
no opportunity of judging, but it seems likely
that some concessions will be made to the
former road
