A HOTEL TRUST.
New York Bonlfaces Talk Of Forming
a Pooling Arrangement.

New YORK, July 17.-lt is said that the
advisablility of forming big hotel trust is
to be principal topic of discussion at the
annual convention of New York hotel men
which is now being held in Buffalo. The
advocates of the scheme, who are confident
of Its speedy adoption, claim that it will car
ry in its train enormous advantages, both to
proprietors and patrons.
1t is argued that by com bination of the
leading hotels of this city. who do an annual
business estimated at $25, 100000. a saving Of
nearly 25 per cent in the expenses would be
effected. Purchases in such large quantities
could be madeat reduced rates, help could be
more easily controlled aud organized p repar-
alton made for times when special rush is
expected.
The benefit to the patrons would consist in
the better qualities of supplies which it is
claimed would be provided. Carriage and
baggage service, too, would be organized in
a way that would be welcomed.
at first 1t is suggested that only the prin-
cipal hotels OF this city be included in the
deal, but in time its doors would be opened
to prominent hotels throughout the State.
The scheme would create a huge pool, in
which each member would share pro rata in
proportion to the amount of business trans
acted by his hotel. The few hotel proprie-
tors in the city yesterday were mum about
tie scheme. Most of them are in Buffalo.

DIED Of A BROKEN HEART.
Rev. William T. Lewis Could Not
Stand His Wifo's Desertion.

SPRINGFIELD, o., July 17.-Rev. William
T. Lewis, a Free Will Baptist minister, died
here yesterday in the city hospital, a victim
of woman's inhumanity to man. He was
born in England, and was graduated from
Oxford with high honors in 1877. He came
to this country, studied at Harvard. and was
admitted to the bar and to practice in all the
courts in Ohio. In early manhood he was
connected with companies producing legiti-
mate dramas. His parents were theatrical
people, and he had great love for the stage.
In 1881 in Washington, d. c., he married
Miss Ellie johnson, an opera singer, and
daughter of Geo. w. Johnson, who for years
managed the old Madison Square Theatre.
She was picture of beauty, and had su-
perb voice. Under the tuteage of Sidney
Rosenfeld she graduated well-equipped for
comic opera. She appeared in "0livette,"
"Mascotte," and several of the lighter oper-
as.
In 1884, Mr. Lewis became a minister, and
his wife was apparently model Christian
woman. Last october she left him, and has
not been heard from since, although Mr..
Lewis used every effort to discover her
whereabouts. He was a small, emaciated
man, badly troubled with asthma. and died
heart-brORen,

CALAIS ALARMED.
Two Citizens Sued Under the Alien
Contract Labor Law.

CALAIS. July 17.-Yesterday IA deputy
United States marshal served writ on Hen
ry f. Eaton and Charles II. Eaton, owners
of the American House, Calais. for violation
of the alien labor law. The writ alleges that
the Messrs. Eaton contracted with plumber
from the Dominion of Canada. This will be
made a test case and the result will be await
ed with great anxiety. Probably 800 to 800
Americans are at work in the mills in Mill
town, N. B.. and a large number OF Pro-
vincials come to Calais daily to work on the
wharves and vessels. st. Stephen people
threaten to retaliate IL the law is strictly en-
forced. 1t is feared that great damage to
people on both sides of the river will be the
result Of the government gaining the case.
Employers of labor at Calais and st. Steph-
en- are seriously considering the advisability
of discharging all their foreign help. Calais
would undoubtedly suffer the greater loss If
such step was taken.

COSTA RIGA IS FRIENDLY.
But Nicaragua Impedes the Work OF
the Ditch DIggers.

SAN JOSE DE COSTA RIGA, July TO- Tie
Nicaragua Canal Company's representative
here, Mr.. Louis Chable. Is still occupied in
mediation between the governments of the
two republics. Whatever contrary opinion
may be held by the company or by persons
indirectly interested In the great enterprise,
it Is nevertheless a fact tiat Costa Rlca Is
more anxious and willing than Nicaragua to
hasten the building Of the canal Nicaragua
still continues TO raise objections, discover
obstacles and, Ia short, behave perversely.
The difference between these two republics
manifests itself more than ever at such a
time.
Costa Rica Is cosmopolitan in a thousand
ways. always advancing. 1t recognizes the
importance OF friendly relations with the
United States, and aims to strengthen and
increase these, while Nicaragua Is Seemingly
lndlnerent Day by day American influence
and American enterprise becomes stronger
In Costa Rica. Certain Nicaraguan proprie-
tors grumble at the wages offered by the
company TO laborers, $40 per month and
Wound" as too high. Fifteen dollars per
menth, or 80 cents per day and find your
SELF are the wages usually paid. Neverthe-
less the preliminary work Is advancing at
Greytown, which already presents an ami
mated picture. The reports of extreme un-
healthfulness at that port are vastly exag-
gerated. There Is absolutely no reason why
New Orleans should be quarantined against
these Northern Central American port
towns. A few cases Of malaria or intermit-
tent fever are the worst to be apprehended.

THE EXCITEMENT OF A SEA VOYAGE.
a Sailor of the Steamer Finance
Charges Official Cruelty.
He Says He Was Knocked Down by
the Chief officer.
Stowaways Left on an Island After
Being Beaten.

New YORK, July 17.-Allegations Of bru-
tai treatment aboard the Brazilian mail
steamship Finance. now lying at her dock in
Brooklyn, are made by James Burke, sea-
man, and others, against Acting Captain Zol-
linger and Chief Officer George Evelyn. and
steps are to be taken to bring the matter in
to court. 1t is alleged that as the vessel was
about to sail from Rio Janeiro early in June,
Burke was sweeping the decks and throwing
the dirt overheard. and some of it went into
a small boat bringing passengers to the ves-
sci. When Evelyn found what Burke had
done, he ordered him into irons, and, with
the assistance of the second officer, knocked
him down. beat him and finally handcuffed
him. 1t is alleged that after Burk was
handcuffed Evelyn kicked him. He was
kept in irons for several hours, and after he
was released was under treatment by the
surgeon and kept in his bunk for two days.
The allegations against Acting Captain
Zollinger, who was in command on the last
voyage, as Capt. Baker, who is regularly in
command, was ON board another vessel, re-
late to the treatment of some stowaway ne
groes, who got on board the vessel at st.
tAOhoos ihOy WOiC huhtCQ OfCh tHO oHAp
and beaten and pounded, and finally were
set ashore on a small island, some distance
from the larger islands. Some of the pas
sengers ON the vessel say that the brutality
of both Zollinger and Evelyn surpassed any
thing they ever heard of. Burke has engaged
lawyer to take legal steps for him.
Capt. Baker said last evening that from
what he could learn the stories were grossly
exaggerated. Burke was guilty of gross
breach Of discipline, and when he was PIT
in irons there was a severe struggle, but it
was necessary to use force to overpower his
resistance. As to the treatment of the stow
aways, they were not brutally handled, but
their treatment was such as to discourage
their attempts to get free passage on vessels.
Burke signed the statement in the ships log
that he was put in irons for being drunk and
disorderly. He says now that he was in
fear Of his life, when he signed il, and that
it is untrue. Purser Thomas j. Hunt says
that Burke signed the log in his presence
and Of his free will. No one threatened him.

There is quiet investigation in progress
In the matter of the East Corinth fire and the

Edmunds which was rolled from his. store at
the time OF the fire nearly cupful of powder
was found which had been blown in around
the door. A long piece of fuse was found
near the safe but 1t had not been ignited.
There were $1,000 In the safe at the time and
the omission to light the fuse was therefore
very lucky one.
