Hamburg American Line DisGusted as
 the Quarantine Regulations.
 MONTREAL, Oct. 8.-The ridiculous quarantine regulations instituted here by the Central Board of Health at the time of the cholera scare have resulted in one steamship company withdrawing it's business from Montreal.
 The steamers of the Hamburg Ameri- can Packet Company, running between Montreal and Hamburg and Antwerp, have been retired from the St. Lawrence route, and for the remainder of the sea- son of navigation will trade to Boston. Only one more steamship will arrive here
 The officers of the company say that in view of the arbitrary action of the Provincial Health Board they had no other course to pursue but to take their boats to an American port, where they would not be subjected to the petty re- strictions they met with here. Their boats have been put to 8 great deal of loss and inconvenience without any just reason.
 Canadian merchants who have made contracts with the Hamburg American Packet Company. will now be compelled to bring their goods in via the United States ports, and the result is that the trade Canada loses the United States will gain.
 The loss of business to the port of Mon treal will be considerable, and it is likely to be permanent, as the. trade once re- moved from the St. Lawrence is not like ly to return.

The New York Absconder Has Been
 Living in San Francisco.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-Frederick M. Craw ford, clerk of the Endicott Hotel, this city, who absconded with about $15, 900, has been seen in San Francisco. Several well-to-do gentlemen who were stopping at the hotel made up purse for Craw- ford to go to New Orleans with, in recog- milton of his many favors to them, and he was handed check for $5, ,000, which he was to place on bets for them on the Sullivan Corbett fight.
 He left for New Orleans September 8, but did not tell the proprietor that he was going. Shortly after his departure it was found that he had not only been borrow ing heavily, but pilfering and forging the name of the proprietor of the hotel,
 Crawford left New Orleans shortly after the fight, going to San Francisco, where he changed his name to "Sert." He was recognized, however, by two gentlemen who were at the Endicott when his steal ings were discovered. While these gen tlemen assert that the San Francisco po- lice were notified over a week ago, the local police deny any knowledge of the case.
