ARRIVAL OF OLYMPIA
The Captain is Anxious to Leave
This Port.

The L. S. S. Olympia, Captain
Reed, arrived yesterday and came
to anchor in the roadstead. She
left San Francisco on Sunday,
August 25th ner captain evidently
did not speed her as was expected.
No one was allowed to board her
yesterday, but communication
was had with the Bennington,
anchored outside also.
U. S. Consul-General Mills went
outside and had a conversation
with the captain. Arrangements
were made to supply the vessel
with about 1000 tons of coal and
as soon as this was accomplished,
she would leave for japan. The
captain said: "We do not care to
stay a moment longer than IS
necessary"
1t will take five or six days to
lighter the coal to her, so the yes
sci will not get away before Sun
day unless the captain decides to
come inside and take coal from a
wharf.

than any other Presbyterian

ORIENTAL LUXURY AT HOME

The wonders of the Orient lay re-
yeaIed before the eyes of all who care
to see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engrossing care Is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than IN
our bustling Western world.
There is now hardly fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque In
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result OF an

FOR THE ISLAND TRADE.
Handsome Schooner Now Being
Built for Planter R R Hind.

There is now on the stocks at
Alameda, Cal, a fOur-tOpmasted
schooner designed for the Hawai-
ian Islands trade and to be named
the Muriel. The keel was laid
about three months ago. The
frame has been finished and the
outer planking and decks are being
laid. The greater part of the force
employed in the yard is now work
log Oh the Muriel so as to finish
her, if possible, within two months.
When completed she will be one
of the handsomest vessels of her
type sailing to and from this port,
says a late Chronicle.
The Muriel has been built on an
improved model, and the beauty
of her lines is already clearly
shown. The owner is r. r. Hind,
a planter in Hawaii, but now a
resident of this city. His sons are
at present in charge of the sugar
plantation. The vessels will have
cost Mr.. Hind when ready for sea
$4,000. Once in service she will
be in command of Captain n. P.
Carlson, formerly master of the
three-masted schooner John q.
North, also owned by Mr.. Hind
and running in the same service
between this port and the port Of
Honoipu, in which she will be
placed. Captain Carlson is at
present supervising the construc-
ton for the owner, and he says she
will be one of the stanchest vessels
afioat when she leaves the ways.

stand from Old Forge to swear that he
was not the right man. He said that
he had perfect right to make this ar
gument to the jury. In regard to the
other remark that he would not be a
party to the perjury of the defendant,
as he was already guilty of murder, Mr..
Jones said that he had put thirty wit
nesses on the stand; everyone Of them
knew Merola and they unequivocally
identified the prisoner at the bar as the
right man.
When the prisoner was arrested In
Boston two letters were found on his
person addressed to Benianinni Nor

Salvis house in Old Forge and who
went away month after the murder.

why new TRIAL IS asked
Arguments That Were Made Yester.
day In the Merolo Case.
REASONS THAT ARE ADVANCED
It Il Said That the District Attorney
Went Too Far in His Address to
the Jury - Change Of
Venue Refused.

Murderer Crezenzo Merola, firmly
handcuHed and in charge of Warden
Thomas Jay, was brought down from
the county Jail to court yesterday after
noon and as he peered wistfully over
the balustrade Of the prisoners dock
in the corner Of the court room. he heard
argument made by Attorney Joseph
w. Brown for a new trial for him.
District Attorney John r. Jones, just
out of a sick bed, opposed the grant
Ing of a new trial.
The three judges We're on the bench.
Mr.. Browns argument was directed
principally to set up II, the minds Of the
court that certain remarks made by
Mr.. Jones during the progress Of the
trial, were Of nature serious enough to
warrant q new trial for the condemned
man. The district attorney was charged
by the prisoners counsel with having
expressed himself as not wishing to be
party to Merola's adding perjury to
the crime of murder. Another remark
attributed to Mr.. Jones was that the
defense could not get single resident
Of Old Forge TO come forward and swear
he Is not the right man. and that Mr..
Jones had personal knowledge that the
prisoners counsel did all they could to
find someone down there to testify in
this manner. but they failed to do SO.
Other Reasons Advanced.
These were the two principal argu-
ments for a new trial. Other reasons
given were that the verdict was against
the weight of the evidence and the jury
had not given the defendant the bene-
fit of q reasonable doubt. Mr.. Brown
argued specifically on the remarks OF
the district attorney and said the de-
fendant Is, entitled to new trial from
the fact that Mr.. Jones' words created
an uhfavorable impression in the minds
Of the jury and made 1t impossible to
render the defendant a fair and impair
tial trial. Mr.. Brown also touched on
the charge Of Judge Edwards in taking
the consideration Of manslaughteraway
from the Jury.
The district attorney, when he began
his argument. was told by Judge Arch
bald that the court would like to hear
from him on what ground he justified
the use Of the remarks attributed to
him, as they were serious ones. Mr..
Jones with much warmth and in sharp
end logical style replied that when he
was elected district attorney he took
great pains to know how far and no
further he could 60 in his comments.
and that he was convinced that he had
not overstepped his domain in the Mer-
ola case. He assured the court that ne
had not made the remarks which he did
make, in heated manner; but that they
were made by him with due delibera-
tion. He complained that Merola's at
torney had not quoted him correctly
with reference to the failure Of the de-
Tense in getting resident Of Old Forge
to swear that the prisoner was not
Nerola.
Argument He Did Make.
Mr.. Jones said that what he did say
was that It had been proved that Mer-
ola lived two years In OLD Forge and he
