New Haven, Conn.

BOSTON, Oct. 1.-Two members Of
the crew of the New Haven schooner
Van Name and King have arrived
here on board the schooner Stillman
Il. Kelly, having been rescued from a
raft off Cape Hatteras after their YES
sci had foundered a day or two before
Eight of the crew suffered so fear
fully from exposure, hunger and thirst
that six Of them either died outright
were washed away or, crazed by their
fearful experience, hurled themselves
into the sea.
Captain Maxwell, the commander
went insane from exposure. The ship
was beaten to pieces by gale off the
South Carolina coast ON Oct. 6.
The two men who lived through the
FIVE days and were rescued from the
raft are William Thomas and William

liam Grizell and Alfred Arthur, color
ed, both of Jamaica.
The lost schooner was owned princi-
pally by New Haven men and was a
three masted vessel used in the coast
lumber trade. William NJ. King, the
local agent for the vessel, said that
the schooner left Charleston, s. O.,
about six days ago for New York with
a cargo of lumber, and that was the
last he had heard of her She was en-
gagged solely in the lumber trade be
tween those two ports, having had that
run for many years.
The Van Name and King was blown
out to sea several years ago and was
reported lost after she had been aban-
doned, but later was picked up by a
coast steamer and repaired

F. A. MILLER's BODY FOUND.
Two Small Boys Discovered Missing
Man at Binghamton.

BINGHAMTON, n. Y, Oct. 1.-two
small boys in boat at the foot of
Murray street, in this city, at 5 o'clock
in the afternoon discovered the body
of Frederick A. Miller floating in the
river. Mr.. Miller, who was a member
of the firm of wholesale paper house
in this city, mysteriously disappeared
on the night of Oct ). 1t was feared
that he was deranged from overwork
and i'll health.
A reward was offered for informa
ton in regard to him, and all of his
customers in New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio and the authorities in those
states have been looking for him for
ten days.

insane Mr.. Miller jumped into the river

Of his, who was the last person to see
him alive, met him on the street late
on the night that he disappeared. He

WORLDS CHAMPIONS.
Giants of New York Win
Coveted Honor.
ATHLETICS PLAYED GRAND BALL,
Fifth Game of Series Was Battle
Between New York's Great Msth-
eyson and Indian Pitcher
Bender.

NEW YORK, Oct TO- - Amid the
frenzied plaudits Of more than $4,000
baseball enthusiasts the New York
National League club won the worlds
championship on tile Polo grounds here
by defeating the Philadelphia Ameri-
can league team in the fifth game of
the post season series by the score of
2 to O.
OF the four previous games the
Giants had won three and Philadel-
phia one. With Nathewson pitching
New York took the opening game in
Philadelphia with the score of 3 TO O,
but lost the second on the Polo
grounds, with Bender pitted against
McGinnity, by the score of to 0.
Mathewson retrieved this defeat in the
ensuing game at Philadelphia by the
score of 0 to o, making the record
two for New York against their OPP
ponents' one, and in the next game on
the home grounds New York, with
McGinnity in the box, added another
victory with the score of l to 0.
Mathewson ana Bender We're the
opposing pitchers in what proved to
be the final game. In the opening in
ming the New York pitcher was APP
parently not at his best, while his
Indian adversary afforded a splendid
exhibition of the pitchers art. Math-
ewson, however, soon rallied and al
though he contributed the only two
fielding errors in the game he held the
visitors safe and shut them out for the
third time. The victory, however, was
not entirely due to his effectiveness,
as the clean, sharp fielding of the New
York men aided materially. The visit
ors weakened in the intield, and after
his brilliant opening Bender lost con-
troll.
The division Of the receipts will net
the winning players SLIP each and
the losers $500.
BY the fifth inning not man on
either side had reached second base.
In the fifth, however, Mertes, who help
ed more than anybody else to win the
game on Friday, scored the first run
for New York. He got his base on
balls and went to second when Bender
also gave Dahlen free pass. Both
advanced a base on Devlin's bunt
along the third base line, and Mertes
rushed home ON Gilbert's long fly to
left field.
The Giants scored their only other
run in the last inning. After Gilbert
flied out, Mathewson walked and
Roger Bresnahan hit out toward the
left bleacher for two bases, sending
Mathewson to third. Brownies hit to
Bender allowed Mathewson to score.
In their half of the ninth the Athletics
failed to score, thus making every one
of the games played for the champion
ship of the world clean shutout.

DISASTER TO cUNARDER.
Campania Half Submerged ny Giant
wave-Sfx Perish.


NEW YORK. Oct. Ii. In a terrific
blow which her officers describe as q
hurricane giant wave boarded the
big Cunard liner Campania on the
Grand banks and washed five steerage
passengers overheard Thirty-hye 9th
ers were dashed about the deck and
against the rails with such violence
that they were badly injured. and one,
a pretty Irish girl. died as the steamer
was coming into port as the result Of
the amputation of badly crushed leg.
There was no way to save the five
who went overheard, and. according
to the first and second cabin passen-
gers, no effort was made TO save them,
as they We're not seen after going over
board The only explanation of this
extraordinary proceeding is that of
fered by Mr. Sanford. the assistant to
Vernon III. Brown, agent of the Cunard
line, who said that Captain War; had
no idea of the extent of the disaster
lie it it was too late to do anything.
One of the members of the crew said
that it would have been useless to stop,
as no small boat could possibly have
lived in such sea.
Nevertheless there was great grum-
bling among first cabin passengers
over what they regarded as the in
difference of the officers, and some of
them expressed themselves with great
freedom when they got ashore.
OF the six who are dead as a result
of the big wave four are women. One
of the men who went over is William
Graham, a Scotchman, and he left be-
hind him q wife and six children.
Those who were injured in the acct
dent were all painfully hurt Scarcely
one escaped without broken limb,
and some of them will be in the hos
pital for weeks. The decks presented
a horrible sight as the water receded,
men and women lying all over ii
screaming with pain and fright. There
was panic in the steerage, and for a
time it looked as if the officers would
be unable to stay it,
The dead, so far as known. are Ora
ham, Miss Cosgrove, Miss Clary and
Mrs. Delaney. The names of the other
man and of the girl who died under
an operation have not been disclosed.
The agent of the line was greatly de
pressed over the accident, as it is the
first time in its sixty-fiye years that
the life of q passenger has been lost on
one of the Cunard ships
