So, 3ss, exclusive of cholera cases, most
of this excess being due to famine.
A correspondent has just travelled

These are on the verge of starvation
and there are many cases of illness
arising from lack of proper nourish-

reach this district soon. 1t is estimated
that fully one-tenth of the cattle in

Mo,,tor Murderers pardoned at Last.


Gov. Pingree has pardoned August
Furhman, Carl Woegler, August Gross
man and Henry Jacobs, convicted four
wears AFRO of numbering Albert Molitor
at Rogers City, Aug. 23, 1876.
Gov. Pingree, accompanied by Land
Commissioner French and Rep. Chas.
Petrowslxi, of Wayne, went to jackson
from Lansing and were met here by
ex-Congressman O'Donuell. The party
Immediately repaired to the state
prison where the governor and O'Don-
nell were closeted for three-quarters
of an hour in Warden Chamberlain
Office. At the conclusion of the inter-
view Henry Jacobs, August Grossman,
Carl Vogeler and August Thurman,
four of the murderers, were brought IN
and interviewed separately by the gov
ernor When this had been completed
Gov. Pingree took from his inside
pocket the pardons for the four men,
affixed his signature and handed them
to Warder Chamberlain. The men
were again brought to the warden $
Office and told they were free men,
and seldom have men APP
peared more pleased over any good
fortune than were they. In broken
language, but that which came from
the heart, the convicts thanked the
governor and warden, and promised to
return at once to their families and
live honorable and upright lives, as in
fact it is claimed they had done for
many years previous to their conviction.
The board of pardons had recon-
mended the pardon OF these four men,
basing their action largely upon the
second confession of William Repke in
which he exonerated the four men
from participation in the crime, saying
that they were not present at the time
of the killing. ReplIe's admission OF
his part in the shooting makes II
quite certain that he will end his days
in prison. lie had nothing to gain by
making the second confession which
has, therefore, been given much con
sideratiou.

.. 5. Cruiser nrooI.lyn BADLY DlsabIed

The United States cruiser Brooklyn,
calculated to withstand the fiercest on
slaught of shot and shell, now lies al
most utterly helpless because of a mar
row ledge of sunken rock in the Della
ware river, above Marcus Hook, Pa,
on which she struck heavily. Her
lower double compartments, forward,
were completely stove in, and it was
only by the merest good fortune that
the big vessel did not sink. This
would undoubtedly have been the re-
suit had not her inner compartments
successfully withstood the shock. As
it was she was pulled clear of the
rocks, and is now tied to the big stone
ice breakers at Marcus Hook. The
Brooklyn is seriously damaged, and II
is impossible to say when she will be
able to go into active service.
