NEW YORK, July 15.-To sing for her
suffering fellow re~volutionists and the
revolutionary cause in Finland is The mis-
sion of Miss Maria MEIER. al Esthonian
prima donna, who has just arrived here.
Miss MEIER is an ardent revolutionlst h
was a member of the Finnish women's
revolutionary militia organization, singing
all over Finland for the benefit of political
prisoners, and was eventually locked up in
a Russian prison herself.
The Russian revolutlonists asked her to
sing in ST. Petersburg, and a great con-
cert was arranged In the hall of the con-
servatory. When she had returned 10 her
hotel after this concert several Russian
policemen rushed into the room and
searched II, but found nothing incrimi-
mating. Nevertheless. she and her sister.
who had come on from Moscow to see
her, were arrested. In her cell Miss
MEIER sung Russian and Finnish folk
songs md parts from operas This led to
her being freed, thanks to the son OF a
Judge who admired her singing. A forged
order for her release was the means he
used.

ROB DROWNING MAN
$50 TAKEN FROM POCKET
OF POLE.
Beer and Whiskey Debauoh on Delaware
River Ends in Two Deaths.
Boat Was Rocked.

TRENTON, July 15.-The police of
this city ire working on the most Pc
culiar cas- in local criminal annals, in
volving, as it does, the death of two Of
a boating party of eight men and the
robbery of one of the victims while
drowning by one of the survivors. The
boating party consisted of Poles, who
stocked a rowboat with bottles of beer
and whiskey and went out on the Della
ware River to drink the stuff in order
to evade the Bishops law.
The party were returning early last
night after an afternoons ~jolliflcation
and when about the middle of the river
below this city, one of the men started
to sing and keep time by rocking the
boat. The others Joined in the sport.
Suddenly the boat went over too far
and capsized and it's occupants were
thrown struggling into the water. 1t
Is what happened then that the police
are trying to determine. Two of the
men, Stephen Greek and Tony Gus
tosky, were drowned after being ex-
hausted by their efforts to save them
selves. 1t is known that Gustosky had
$50 in an envelope in his clothes. for
he had displayed it to his companions
and told them of h good time he was
going to have with it.
When the mans body was fished out
of the river. in the presence of 1900
spectators who had heard of the ac-
cident and gathered to watch the at
tempts to recover the bodies, the en-
velope minus its contents was found
in one of Gustosky's pockets. No other
money was found on the corpse. The
body of Greek, the other drowned man,
has not Yet been recovered.
The police have arrested three Poles
who were in the party, and are look
ing for the three others. one of whom
is Stephen Garousky, the suspected
thief. Just how he could have robbed
his man while the latter was drowning
and placed the empty envelope back in
his victims pocket the police do not at
tempt to explain, but they maintain
that their theory Is correct.

TYPHOID EPIDEMIC
%UNABATEDATS STATE INSANE
ASYLUM.
Even Dozen Have Died Out Of Seventy
five Patients-Twenty-four Down
in One Ward.

TRENTON, July 15.-Unabated. the
scourge of typhoid fever among patients
and attaches of the State Hospital for the
Insane, In this city, continues and scarcely
n day passes without Its quota of new
cases reported. In the past two days there
have been two deaths, three new cases
of the disease have developed, and the au-
thorltles are about ready to characterize
the prolonged and fatal Siege as epidemic
In one ward of the institution twenty-four
men patients are down with the fever
Four women nurses and two male nurses
are in local hospitals. Four children of
Chief Clerk Connolly are In st. Francis
Hospital. suffering with the disease, while
Joseph Dennish, the miller at the institu-
tion, and his two daughters, are among the
victims.
While It Is difficult to ascertain the exact
number of cases IN the sanitarlum at pres
ent, 1t has been learned on excellent au-
thority that there are fully fifty either
down with the disease or strongly sus-
pected OF being infected. Since the disease
first made its appearance at tho hospital
1t is said there nave been seventy-five
cases and of this number an even dozen
have died. General Owens. at one time
City Clerk of Trenton, who died last week
at the Institution. Is said TO have been "A
victim of the scourge. The cause of his
death was announced at the, hospital as
general debility. The latest death was to-
day, when William Ferguson, as years old,
of New Brunswick, died. He was a patient
and was convalescing in his mental condi-
ton so that 1t was expected that in Il short
time he would be discharged as cured. Two
weeks ago Ire was stricken with typhoid
and grew rapidly worse. Today MIR. Den
nish's case was diagnosed rs typhoid. His
two daughters are said TO be recovering.
The doctors at the hospital say the
State and local boards of health are as
much at sea as ever in regard to the
origin Of the trouble. Every ~ution
known to science has been taken to stop
the spread of the disease, but Without
avail. Almost equally futile ave been
the efforts of the authorities to trace the
origin Of the plague. All food and drink
supplies have beer or are being thoroughly
investigated, as Is also the sewerage sys-
tenn. No evidence If typhoid bacilli has
yet been discovered. Popular belief among
the attaches of the hospital, as well as
some of those In authority, Is hat the
disease was caused by a leak In the city's
sewage system, ~polluting a spring from
which the supply of water is drawn.
Tests by the State meteorological depart
ment showed this water to be contami-
mated with colon oacilli. but failed to
show any evidences of the typhus germs.
Nevertheless the spring was closed.
