Tho Extant of Damage Inflated Upon the Commorco of tho Plague Stricken City. Berlin, Supt. 13. Associated Tress. Tho people o( Hamburg feel sore over tho lack of sympathy and tho abundance of hostilo feeling with which they have been treated by moat of tho Uertnan authorities, tho press and tho peoplo during their presont troubles.

The leading Hamburg papers, tho "Uorsenhallo" and tho "Hamburger Zeitung," and others go so far as to advocate a commercial boycott of tho towns and watering places which have refused asylum to rosidonts who have' fled from Hamburg during the epidemic. Many of tho great Hamburg hotels, which wero doing a largo business prior to the breaking out of the plague, are now dosed. Yesterday, in all tho hotels, thero were only fifty guests. Thceo were chiefly English and American travelers. This is an index of tho collapso of businoas.

Commer cial agonts instead oi transacting their business through Hamburg as they did before the epidemic, now deal through Bremen or Stettin. The current of trade is thus diverted and it will bo long boforo it resumes its former course. Among tho physicians in Hamburg who aro aiding tho hospital doctors, is Dr. Meckel, of Boston, who, tho authorities say, has rendered valuablo service. The Berlin hotels and pensions, which for soino time stood empty in conscquenco of tho prevalence of chol era, aro now filling with guests.

The prompt action of Chancellor von Caprivi in appointing an imperial hoalth commission for tho whole Klbo territory, and tho no less prompt action of Herr Hichthofun in supporting the commission through his officers, have done much tafestablish a feeling of se curity among mo masses, wuiunu day aftor tho edict creating the commission was published, competent naval and military surgeons had taken their posts along tho Klbo and wero working hard to improve tho sanitary condition of tho river districts. Since the panicky feeling lias somewhat abated a more humano sentiment toward tho peoplo of Hamburg is becoming apparent. Asked to report on the prospects of the epidemic in Hamburg, Professor Koch says that its rapid subsidence is probable. He adds that tho improved sanitation promises well as a defenso against tho reappearanco of the dis ease. LOUISANA l.OTTKKY IN HAWAII.

Tho resignation took effect Soptembcr 15. There have been, I am told, various curious motives ascribed to this resignation. The simplo truth is that I have como home, not to run for govornor of Indiana, as has boon said, but to give mv boat efforts, as I have always given them, toward Republican success in Indiana." General Porter smilingly added that to ask him for an opinion about the fiolitical situation would bo very much iko asking an English tourist "how ho liked the country" beforo ho had passed Quarantine.

I shall go from New York to Washington, where I shall make my formal report to the state department, and then I am going to Indiana to do all Ihat I can for the continuance of this splendid administration for another four years.

At first tho imprisoned man thought tho mat- tor a joko, but soon realized the truth. Ho began to shout and pound on tho door, but his voice only deafened him. Pulling down tho great books of record ho battered and pounded with them upon the door." It was as futile an effort to attract attention from without p.s Ilia screaming had been.

Nobody remained in tho clerk's office nobody would or could havo heard him if there had beon. But fortunately inompson was wanted punctually else whero. Then it was remembered that ho had been aeon to enter the clerk's offico and last seen there. Tho fact that led to the suspicion that he might bo in the safe which had been so carelessly closed. But tho official having tho combina tion was in Merclutntville.

Beforo ho could bo reached it was 4 o'clock. Then they unlocked the safe find took the im prisoned man out. Ho was uncon scious but recovered in half an hour. I'OLYOAMY STILL KXlSTS. Annual Report of the Utah Commission Has liven Jtocelveri.

A Fire Alarm In a Crowded Synagogue Proclpltates a Torrlbly Fatal Stampede In which Four Women Are Crushed to Death. New Youk, Sopt.

23. Associated Press. A false alarm of fire caused a panic in a Jewish synagogue crowded with worshipers this morning. In the rush for the stairway four people were crushed and trampled to death and a dozen seriously injured. The firemen finally succeeded in extricating people from the blocked stairway.

The panic occured in a tenement building occupied by three synagogues, one on each floor. In the synagogue on the top floor a candle accideutly ignited a bit of drapery. Immediately an excited individual yelled firo and then a rush for the exit camo at tho front partition door where there was a jam, then a crash and part of the board wall gave way. The mass poured, and rolled down the steep stairway. Three times as many persons were attending the synagogues in tho lower floors.

More than one thousand in all heard tho rush and crash above and heard the cries of lire and immediately likewise made a rush for tho street. At tho second floor two blind and maddened human avalanches met and a furious struggle ensued. Men and women fought. Dumb but with the madness of despair and tho weakest went down. The deadlock was broken again and again, only to be renewed with the samo scenes of terror.

Slowly the solid mass filling the stairway from the wall to tbe ceiling slid down to the ground Moor. Down thero it brought up against tho rush from the rear room synagogue and all came to a dead stop. The police patrol arrived at this mo ment and ollicers lighting their way through the crowd finally broke the jam. Four women lay dead and nine are serlosly injured. The injured were promptly bent to tho hospital.

I'K-I-ICII KNKW HIM, And I'olntH Out the lu Sold Him Whisky. Night beforo last Jas. Rlaukenship arrested a Mexican who refused to give his proper name, for selling whisky to an Indian. The Indian purchaser waB Pe-i-icli, of the Sacaton agency. When Pe-i-ich reached the agency the agent saw that somebody had violated tho federal act regulatiug transactions in spirituous compounds.

Pe-i-ich didn't know the name of the man who had poisoned him, but thought whon he got sober that he could recognize him if he could bee him. He was accordingly brought to town day beforo yesterday nnd went around with the officer looking for the whisky merchant. At last Pe-i-ich pointed him out on tho street, but the fellow saw tho Indian's action and started. He was overtaken by the officer after a short race. The fact of his running had more to do with his being bound over yesterday than did Pe-i-ich's evidence, as there was no, interpreter present nnd the Indian's gestures were not always intelligible.

How Querina Villa Died Yesterday. A Dead Body Found by a Band of Indians, There is at First a Strong Sus picion of Murder. An Examination of tho Corpse Proves That Doath Was tho Result of Natural Causes. Shortly before noon yesterday, word was brought to tiie local authorities that a man had been found dead on a trail on tho other sido of the river about two miles from the city. The body had been discovered about 9 o'clock by some Indians and several persons who had looked at the corpse saw blood on the Bide of tho face and concluded that a murder had been committed.

The horseman who brought the word didn't know the name of the dead man. Justice Huson hastily impaneled a coroner's jury, made up of Capt. Hy McDonald, Wm, Black, Robert Grigsby, J. J. Wright, C.

0. McCarroll and James Rogers, and Bet out for the place where the body was found, Tho jury was accompanied by Dr. WoodrufTand undertaker W. II. Smith.

The vicinity of the spot at which the man met his death was marked by three circling buzzards. The party was further guided by the horseman who had brought the information. At a point about half a mile south of the river where the trail wound through dense brush, the body lay. It was guarded by several women and children, but had been entirely undisturbed. The stricken man whatever might have been the cause of death had fallen forward on his face.

Ho was in a crouching position and had evidently never moved after be (ell. He was turned over and straightened. His bloodstained mi presented a sickening spectacle. The blood had tnoistoned the deep dust in which the face was partially buried and when he was removed the visage was covered by a bloody plaster. While the physician was making an examination to ascertain the cause of his death the members of the jury examined all the tracks which had come along the trail.

Those made by the dead man were plainly visible and showed that he had been running rap'dly when overtaken by deatn. This fact strengthened the murder theory. The last step he took was the longest one indicating that the last pang of death had given him an increase of strength. In the meantime brief autopsy had been completed. It had been ascertained that the blood on the face had come from tho mouth and nose and thero were no other marks indicating that he had been mortally wounded.

The discoloration of the "breast and upper part of the body and the limp neck showed the cause of death to be heart failure. Tho relatives of the dead man, whose name was learned to be Querina Villa, who had also arrived, paid that the deceased had been troubled with heat disease about two years and that whenever he was seized he would always run with tho greatest speed to the nearest house. This statement having oxplained all the conditions which had been presented the jury accordingly brought in a vtrdiot of death of heart disease. Villa was about fifty years old and a native ol Sonora. He was unmarried and lived with a relative a few yards from where he fell.

Tho deceased was the owner of a ranch, several head of horses and a large flock of goats. Ho was an inveterate cigarette smoker and it Is a rather ghastly cirenmstancethat when his body was examined a cigarette was found sticking behind his ear I'or Sale A llargaln.
