THE BREWERY TRUST.
Two SyndIcates in the Deal, but Jordan Is
not Interested.

Two SyndIcnies in the Deal, but Jordan is
not Interested.
New York, August 1.-THE report
that syndicate OF British capitalists
was negotiating for the purchase of brew
cries in this country, and that "trust'
might be formed, has been partially ver-
flied.
1t was learned that in Philadelphia
Frederick Betz had sold his immense
brewery for the snug sum OF 81 i,750,O 900,
to English capitalists, but Betz is to have
charge OF the concern for three years.
Secretary A. L. Seigert, Of the Ma
tionai Brewers Association, said he had
no doubta deal Of some kind was being
made, but he knew nothing officially
about it, except that he understood that
If there were any breweries in the mar
ket they would find ready purchaser
for cash.
From interviews that reporter had
with men who should know the inside
workings OF the deal, it was ascertained
that there are really two syndicates,
both having headquarters in London.
The report that Conrad n. Jordan, Pres
ident OF the Northwestern Bank, l20
Broadway, was connected with the syn
dicate, was denied by Mr.. Kennedy,
Vice President OF the bank, who said
that Mr.. Jordan had simply gone to Eu-
rope on vacation and to "attend to
some private business Of the bank" !"
The belief among brewers is that some
such movement is on foot, but exactly
what it is they are not sure.

man Vessel.
BosroN, August l4.-The German
barkentine Balthasar, Captain Johnson,
arrived here Sunday from Corento, via
Juan dc Sur. In investigating ruInors
of the horrible condition of her crew, n
reporter boarded tie vessel, at her an
chorage on the flats, and found four
sailors very sick with scurvy. They
said they had had no fresh provisions
for two months, having been fed de-
spite their protests, on salt meats, and
that no lime juice, vinegar or anything
else which tends to mitigate the horrors
OF the disease, had been given them, rs
required by law.
One man, Ferdinand Tcligimcire, is in
a terrible state, his legs having turned
black in many places. In another case
the victims teeth have dropped out and
part OF his cheek has rotted away.
Captain Johnson refused to talk, beyond
saying that the food of the crew was the
same Hs his own, and that he could
clear himself before the German Consul.
