 Brought by Captain Bennett of the
 Red Line Steamer Zulia-NObOdy
 Paid Much Attention to the Carmelina.
 New York, Oct. 1.-The steamship Carmelina with Manuel Silveira, the Cuban banker, whose recent disappear ance from Havana with $1,000,0O0 was said to have brought about the failure of Ceballos & Co.,, his wife and two children, steamed into Curacoa q week ago last Sunday, according to Captain Bennett and several of the passengers and crew of the steamship Zulia of the Red D line in late to-day from Curacoa and Venezuelan ports.
 H. B. Chase, a representative of a lumber company of this city, who re- turned on the Zulia from La Guayra, said the Carmelina put into Curacoa early on Sunday, October ', and left on the morning of the following day after taking on coal, and ostensibly for Porto Cabello,
 T was curious enough to look up the Carmelina's passenger list,' said Mr.. Chase. q found the names of Silveira, his wime and two other Silveiras, pre- sumably children. 1 was told that they landed at Curacoa, saying that they were going to New York probably on the Zulla I learned that the shortly afterWard went to Porto Cobello thol ght 1t strange that they should go to New York from Havana by way of Curacoa.
 Nobody paid much attention to the Cermelina," said MT. Chase. because none of us knew anything about Sil- veira or his connection with the failure off Ceballos & Co.,"
 Substantially the same story was told by aptain Bennett, who said he rec ofgrized the Carmelina as she came into Curacoa and supposed she was sh 1T: of coal.

 of Intercollegiate Golf Association.

Garden City, l.. l., Oct. 17.--Yale and Princeton fought it out again for this years team championship honors of the Intercollegiate Golf association on the Garden City clubs links to-day, and Yale won. The total point scores were. Yale, BE-; Princeton Az. These figures were made up of one point for each winning match, six men being on each team, and one-half of a point for each hole up the winner had on his oppo- nent.
 In the morning round two of the matches were all square at the home hole, but Yale had a slight advantage, as two of her men, Abbott and Par fridge, were five up and two up, re- spectiyely, while West and Cochran, of Princeton, were two up and three up on their opposing players.
 A half gale, which blew from the east kept tho scores down in the morning round, and although the conditions were better during the afternoon, none of the players was able to turn in a card of any merit.
 The points scored by the individual players were:
 For Yale-R. Abbott 21a, D, Partridge ?, w. Howland 21a, G. c. V. Rotan 11a.
 For Princeton-W. T. West 2, D. H. Barrows 2h.
 The results by plays: West beat Glow, two up; Abbott beat Gee, three up; Partridge beat Peters, two up; Bar rows beat Knowles, three up; Rowland beat Van Dyke, three up, and Rotan beat Cochran, one up.
 The individual championship contest will begin tomorrow with qualifying round of eighteen holes, followed by a match play round, Seven colleges are entitled to send competitors, but it is not likely that any other than Yale, Princeton, Harvard and Cornell will be represented.

DR. BROUVRR ACQUITTED
FOUND NOT GUILTY OF POISON
 ING HIS WIFE
Jury Returns Verdict in Just One
 Hour After Retiring-Men and wo- men Applaud in Spite of Tapping for order-scores of People Crowd About
 Acquitted Man and Congratulate Him.

Toms River, N. J., Oct. 17-After trial that had lasted since October s, Dr. Frank l.. Bouwer, indicted for murdering his wife, Carrie Bouwer, by the use of poison, was acquitted to-day. The evidence was ali in yesterday and to-day the arguments were made fol- lowed by the judges charge. The jury retired at 4:25 o'clock this afternoon and brought in verdict of mot guilty just one hour later.
 The court room was crowded when Judge Hendrickson ascended the bench to hear the verdict of the jury.
 pr. Brouwer was brought in looking trifle pale but showing little signs of nervousness. The jury then filed into the box and the foreman was asked if they had agreed on a verdict. He promptly replied: "We find verdict of not guilty"
 Instantly the court room was in an uproar. Men and women cheered and applauded in spite of the rapping for order and the court constables had all they could do to suppress the noise. Finally when quiet was restored, Dr. Brouwer was formally discharged. He was so overcome that he could scarcely speak.
 At this point the applause was re- newed and women waved their hand kerchiefs while scores of Dr. Brouwer's s friends crowded about him and offered their congratulations
 When the excitement had died down somewhat Dr. Brouwer shook hands with his counsel and turning to Judge Hendrickson thanked him for the in- partiality of his charge to the jury.
 Brouwer then asked permission to ad- dress the jury, and when it was grant ed, said:
 T am thankful, very thankful for the way you have treated me, and hope that none of you will ever be placed in such position as I have been."
 The doctor then shook hands with l each juror. JAS he turned from the l 1urymen, men, women and children again pressed about the acquitted man l who finally backed up to a wall of the court room and grasped each extended hand as the crowd shouting it's congrat- ] ulalOnS, nl6u past IlIll' OllCe ITe6 or i the court room crowd, Dr. Brouwer was hurried by his counsel to the street, where another crowd that had been waiting, cheered and followed him as he walked rapidly towards his home. Passing the postoffice, Dr. Brouwer saw Miss Stella McClenahan and stopped to receive her congratulations As Dr. RrouWar pa mo within sipht of his home his aged mother and his little boys ap- peared in the doorway. The boys quickly ran into the arms of their fa- ther, who catching them up one on each arm, ascended the steps to the house. As his head reached her level his mother threw her arms about the three.
 A mement later Dr, Bouwer turned to the crowd which had remained at his heels throughout the affecting scene, and briefly expressed his thanks for the evidence of good will.
