The Mutiny and Murder OF the Ship
Frank n ThaNcr.

Captain Clarke, of the American ship
Frank n. Thayer, has arrived at Plymouth,
Eng, on the Cape steamer, by which he was
picked up at sea. He relates that the Thayer
was bound for New Norl. with a mixed crew,
including two Manila seamen. These two
men stole upon the deck one night and, arm
ed with knives dashed to poles, attacked the
two officers, killing them instantly
Three sailors, the only ones on deck,
were quickly dispatched, Captain Clark,
hearing the shricks of the crew
rushed on deck in his night shirt. The
MnnlauS sla,hed him terribly, and he
barely escaped with his life. After des-
lalate struggle he broke away from his
ASSISTANTS, and rushing to his cabin, locked
himself in. The ManilIans battenea down
the matches and kept the captain and crew
below deck one day and night The captain
finally fired through skylight at one OF the
mulim,crS, and wounded him in the thigh.
The man rushed to the side of the vessel and
lcaped overheard. The other mutineer thrn
went below, fired the cargo, and, returning
to the deck, jumped into the sea. Terrified
10 madness, the crew forced their way on
deck, lowered a boat and rowcd away. The
ship was consumed. The crew wandered at
sea- for week before they were picked up.

France and Germany.

A dispatch from Berlin says The agree.

ing their respective possessions on the west
coast of Africa and in the South sea has been
submitted to the Reichstag, The agreement
contains an amcablc understanding with re
spect to rival claims of the two powers to the
territory lying on Biafra bay, Germany sur
rendering her assumed sovereignty and pro
tectoratc over all that part of the country
lying south of the river Campo, n. lat. 3dcg.,
and France abandoning all claim to any
territory north of that river. France
recognizes n German protectorate over the
Togo territory, Porto SECURE and Little Popo
on the Guinea coast, the frontiers of which
are to be fixed by mixed commission, the
starting place to be at point on the coast be
tween Little Popo and Agoona. Germany re-
nounces all claim to the territory on the coast
of Senegamba between Rio Numez and
Melacerew, especially Koba and Habitat,
and agrees to refrain from interposing any
obstacles in the way of French occupation
of the New HebrideS, France agreeing to put
the Hamburg firm of Colin upon the same
footing as French firms in Koba and Habitat
concerning freedom of trade and the acquisi-
ton of land and the payment of taxes and
customs Germany comedies to King Mcusa
the same position in Porto SECURE as that en-
joycd by him under the protectorate of

RUMMIES AND TEETOTALERS.
A Double Boycott and Great Excite
ment at FrccpOrt, Pa.

The town of Freeport, Armstrong county,
Pa, is just now the scene Of the livclicst
boycott in the country. Out of Al business
firms in the place, oil are being bOycotted
save two. Two of the largest distillerieS in
the United States are located there, and
operated by Guckenheimer g. Go. Of
Pittsburg. The employees of the distilleries
have heretofore patronized merchants Of the
place Unfortunately A few weeks ago
they gave notice that they would boycott all
persons who were in favor of prohibition.
AS it is non-lircnse town, and II very
strong religious and temperance element pre-
dominates, the announcement was equivalent
to declaration of war. A paper was circu-
lated pledging the business men TO anti-pro-
hibiton Only two firms signed it, Now the
temperance patrons of these firms are boycott
ting the latter. Excitement is at fever heat,
and n law and order ticket has been put in
the field for the town election. II is said that
the Pennsylvania Liquor League is backing
the fight, and will make this the first of a
series of such attempts.
