A FATEFUL VOYAGE.
Bark O1ga's Officers Succumbed to
Scurvy.

PHILADELPHIA Pa.), Sept. 25.-
The German bark Olga arrived at the
Delaware Breakwater tonight for or
ders from Sourabaya, Java, laden with
sugar. She brought to a close a voy-
age of strange fatalities, having only
a few of the original officers on board.
Captain Dreyer, her commander, and
five others have died of that dread
disease, scurvy, which so often breaks
out on board vessels from the far East
The Olga sailed from Sourabaya on
April Sd. When about two months out
from port the disease first made it's
appearance, and one by one the men
were taken i'll, until the ships crew
was reduced to four men able to be
about. Captain Dreyer was among the
first to be stricken. He lasted only a
few days, suffering great agony Then
the mate took charge, and he, too
was stricken down, leaving in charge
of the vessel men who had little knowl-
edge of navigation. When ST. Michael
was reached a new Captain was taken
abard and the fateful voyage was con-
tinued. The Olga is now waiting or
ders, and will probably come to this
port to discharge her cargo.

SENSATIONAL TRIAL.
A Minister Accused of Poisoning
His Wife,

FORT WORTH, Sept. pa sensa-
tional murder trial is in progress at
Vernon. Rev. G.. E. Morrison of Pan
handle City is accused of poisoning his
wife in October last year.
Morrison was pastor of the Northern
NJ. E. Church at Panhandle City. One
night his wife was discovered in con-
vulsions and suddenly died. Her death
was suspicious and the authorities be-
gan an investigation, which showed
that she had been killed with strych-
nine. Morrison was in the meantime
arrested at Topeka, Kan, detained for
ty-eight hours and released, as the law
of Kansas does not permit detention
longer without sufficient grounds. Nor
rison left Topeka, but was traced
through Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas and
Colorado, and finally arrested in Los
Angeles, Cal, April l, 1898.
1t developed that Morrison was en-
gagged to Miss Annie Whittlesey of To-
peka. A letter written her by Morrison
a few days before his wife's death, was
read in court, in which he addressed her
in the most endearing terms. The case
is attracting widespread interest, not
only in Texas, but in the entire West.

TRADE OF AUSTR0- HUNGARY.
REPORT OF UNITED STATES
CONSUL AT VIENNA.
Decrease in Exports Because We
Can Manufacture the Same
Goods Cheaper.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The Unit
ed States Consul at Vienna, in report
to the State Department on the trade
of Austria Hungary for 1897, ascribes
the general decrease in exports to this
country to the fact that the same goods
are now manufactured in the United
States, and can be sold there at the
same or lower prices than the Austrian
goods. The report is that American
silk is being sold in Lyons, the real
silk center in Europe, and that French
manufacturers are buying it in large
quantities, especially that used for lin
ing purposes, to take the place Of that
formerly imported from Austria and
Germany. There is a falling off in
the demand for pearl goods and for
glassware, due to the popularity and
superiority of the American product.
1t is frankly admitted, the Consul
says, that the American cut glass is
finer and more elegantly cut than any
manufactured in Europe. The Amer
lean bicycle, according to the Consul,
is finding favor with the wheelmen,
Notwithstanding it's higher price over
those of domestic make. He thinks
that if the United States manufacture
ers desire to get their wheels into the
foreign market they should be satisfied
with little less profit and try to make
easier terms for their agents. The
wheels sent from America are gener-
ally without mud guards, brakes and
other necessities, and the agent is put
to the additional expense and trouble
of supplying them.
There is growing demand for
American canned goods, but high
prices prevail because the goods go
through the hands of middlemen.
The Consul at Antwerp, Belgium, re-
ports that the exports from that cour-
try to the United States in 1896 We're
valued at 50, 437. 700. an increase of 5
per cent. over the preceding year, and
the imports direct from the United
States in 1896 were valued at S3l, ,5O4,-
800, an increase of 81 per cent. over
1895. An important increase in the
consumption of beer is noted, amount
ing to about 81 gallons per capita. Fig
ures are also presented showing large
increase in importations in a number
of articles from the United States for
the first eight months of the fiscal year
1897 over the corresponding period of
1896. notably in starch and non-edible
products timber, rye, barley, oats, corn
and buckwheat.

COAST BASEBALL.
They Wallowed Through the Mud
at San Jose.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 25.-The game of
ball this afternoon between the San
Joses and San F'ranciscos was a mat
ter OF scrambling around in the mud,
it being anybody's game according to
how the runs came in, with San Jose
very much to the bad at the close. In
fact, it could not have been any worse
for the team, for they did not get a
run, while the visitors piled up six
points.
The base running was necessarily the
slowest ever seen on the ground, for
runner had to carry with him al
most his own weight in mud on his
feet. The men jolted around over the
bases like ice wagons, and the wonder
is that any runs We're made at all. The
ball also almost stopped dead in the
mud whenever it hit the ground, and
this added to the uncertainty of the
game and interfered with the calcula-
ton of the players. In the midst of
it all the San Joses got the mud fever,
and their batting arms were paralyzed,
so that all hope of a run to save the
ignominy of a shut-out was lost There
was a fair attendance. The score: San
Francisco 6, hits TO- errors =; San Jose
Q, hits g, errors &. Batteries-Iberg
and Hammond; Thomas and Kent.

CAMP MEADE (Middletown. Pa),
Sept. 25.-Major Joseph E. Weaked of
Norristown was relieved to-day as Sur
geon in Chief of the Second Division
hospital and assigned as acting sur
geOn of the division. This change was
made necessary by the resignation of

Private George Morgan, First Mary

gust Ross, Company H, Second Regi-
ment, Engineer Corps. also succumbed

incipiency in the New York camp and
the sick will be sent to Philadelphia
hospitals. The Red Cross will send a
hospital train to the camp from Phila-
delphia to take 100 patients. They will
be carried to the Womans Homeo-
pathic and Woman's Hospital The
Reading Hospital will send a train also
for fifty patients.
Major General Graham issued an or
der to-day consolidating the Fifteenth
Pennsylvania and Ninth Ohio Battalion.
The new organization will take the
place of the First Delaware in the First
Brigade division, and will probably be
ordered to Cuba for garrison duty. The
battalion is made up entirely of col
ored troops in command Of Major
Young. Eight companies Of the First
Delaware have received orders to move
tomorrow on the grounds vacated by
the Twelfth Pennsylvania, and as soon
as their muster-out rolls have been pre-
pared they will be forwarded to their
home station for a thirty days fur
Tough, at the expiration of which they
will be retired from the service.
General Graham expects to begin
practice marches soon by regiments.
They will march to rendezvous within
a radius of ten miles Of camp and will
take with them their baggage and wa
ter wagons and ambulances for the
sick The health of the corps, with
the exception of the New York regi-
ments, is excellent, and unless there is
a change the troops will stay here until
cold weather. The prospects are that
the first division will be the first Or
dered South to prepare for duty in the
