sailors ON a noston Vessel Murder the
Captain and Mate.

Boston, Aug. ia cable received In
this city from Buenos Ayres says that
Capt. j. w. Whitman and Mate William
Hgnsburgh, OF the schooner Olive
Pccker. which sailed from this port on
June %, have been murdered by the
crew. The principal owners Of the yes
sci are j. r. Ellicott a. Co.. OF Boston,
who also sent out the barkentine Her
bert Fuller. on which Capt. Nash and
his wife and Mate Bamberg were muir
dered. The Pecker was built at Bel
fast, Me- The message containing the
information was from a banking firm
in Bucnos Ayres and gave only the bare
facts OF the double murder, together
with the statement that the vessel was
afterwards burned, but that the crew
escaped and landed at Bahia. The own
ers hope they are in the custody of the
United States consul there, who would
naturally assume charge Of the ship
wrecked men.
The Olive Pecker was three-masted
vessel and her cargo consisted OF 6T7,-
SIS feet Of pine and $1,000 feet of spruce
lumber. Capt. j. w. Whitman, OF Rock
land, Me-, was In command aud he had a
crew OF seven men. As far as informa-
ton received by the owners OF the
schooner is concerned. the vessel was
making good progress on her course
and must have been between 80 and 81
days out when the murderous event
occurred This would bring the Pecket
well along toward her destination. The
opinion is borne out by the news that
the crew landed at Batia or. as the own
ers believe. Bahia Blanca, which is
about 20 miles north of Buenos Ayres.
As TO the actual occurrence OF the trag-
edy, the adyices give no information
more than that which has already beer
stated. From these meager details
however, the owners form the theory
that the crew mutinied, killed the cap
tain and first officer and seized tn,
schooner.

contracts is regarded as the primary
reason for the second great squirt In
wheat during the present season. The

already partially harvested. has been
mostly toward empty bins of millers
