In the lower hospital there were new green blinds and neat ily aereens In the windows, with fly paper scattered around, and evi dently the best that can be dena te make this miserable building resemble a hospital ha been done.

Keetner, J. Graf and Franr. Katun, sailors, aud Ueerge Decker, a boy. Frem the time of the departnre of tbe ves sel thecaiUln was decidedly unwell. " In fact," aald First Mate Werner te a Philadelphia Snrth American reporter Wed nesday, " the csUln wa In a bad way. He complained et silna In the bowels, and was constantly in a bail teiuiwr. He slept but little, and ate almost nothing. On the third day out be did net leave bis eabln at all, and calling me in asked m te say nothing about hla illness. On the following day his condi tion was very excitable, and be ordered the men around in a lively way. Toward even ing, however, he cbauged for tlie better and ate something. On the 11 of June he grew visibly worse, and sullered tbe most poignant pain In hla bowel. Alter neurl hours' treatment with het sand baKS be began te gel belter. In the evening he leek half a drachm of laudanum, aud drank several cups of het cntlee. The next day the name course et treatment wa pursued, without producing any great bennhclat results, howerr. " He took supper with the men, and again asked inn net te enter hi case en the ship' Journal. The next day lie went en deck, talked te himself continuously and appeared te lauient Uie fate of mine or the sailors, whom he belleed hal fallen overboard. He retired early, alept well all night, and the nuxt day wan much Improved. " He told us that hla uerve were very much excited, and that upon hearing the slightest sound be fancied some oue was speaking te him. He always answered these noises. During the day be ate and drauk with us, made his observation and calcula tion en tbe chart, and gaveseeral orders. Ilolere night rail a still Kale xt In, and the captain ordered Iho taking in el lerlaiu sails, iu a correct manner. 'I was standing en deck about six o'clock," continued the llrat mate, "when I noticed thu captain en the after deck, lie wa sur prisingly quiet. (Suddenly he whoeled about and asked me what the crew wanted en the halt deck. 1 told him thore was no one thorn, Yeu're a liar," be said fiercely. "1 heard them say they wanted te paa me overboard." 'Te pacify him," mild the mate, I called the crew out, ami the skipper counted them and asked tbutu It they had any grudge against Ellin. "Why, ue," they nnswered. 'Well,' said the captain, -I've nften heard you fellows grumble and talk about casting me overboard.' "He then sent the men back te their places and turned In. I went te bed shortly after nine o'clock. About half past ten 1 wa aroused by the report of a shot and a loud cry. Hastening out 1 encountered the boy Decker, who told me that the captain had called him aud then llred at hi in. "1 rau te the captain's cabin, but when I opened the deer the crary skipper confronted me with a lovelled pistol and said If 1 entered lie would put a ball in my heart I hut the deer, but immediately reepened II, thetiiih carefully, and saw broken glass lying about thu deer. Tliucapulu was Iu bis bed room, from out of whleti a dense volume of Niuoke was rolling. 1 at once alarmed the crew and went again te the cabin. The captain was just coming out of bis bedroom and 1 could see lUiues licking Iho corner where the letiue steed. "The captain didn't nee me, but began mashing tlie furniture and glassware. 1 spraug upon him, and after a severe struggle threw him en the lloer. Here be made use again el his pistol, but missed Hie. With a violent wrench the captain rreed hlinself and ran out, shrieking at the top or his voice. The crew bad by ibi time arrived, and we turned our attention te the tire, which had made alarming headway. After a hard bat tle we extinguished the Usui en and then made a search for the captain. The night was intensely dark, aud tbe ship was sailing aleug at eight knots an hour. The captain, In his trenry, must have jumped oerbearu when ne ruauea eui ei me cauin. The next morning bloody linger marks en the rail told the tale. " I've been a seafaring man for ever a quarter et a century," said the mate, ruuulng hla bronzed hand through his grizzly balr, ' and 1 can tell you, sir, 1 never want te ex perience such a night again."

Mt Helly, N. J., has had an experience this summer that might be taken as a fair type of the fever epidemics that seem te have a habit of descending without warning upon places always before ranked as heillhy. Fer Mount Helly haa been a healthy town. Old age had been fashionable and malarial troubles and the Ilka have naver caused a natural corner la tha loeat quinine market Part of tae village Is low-lying, skirting the banks of Kanoecas creek, which winds about aa erratically as a novice en roller skates. Tha heavy rains of the last week d Id mere than merely soak all this part of New Jersey; they filled up tha hollow and turned them Inte ponds and spread tha creek ever their banks. Frem tha Kanoecas, the Heed swept into many places auent mount neuy. -lueaaay morning the people who live en one of the streets near the Pennsylvania railroad station bad te wade when they tried te go out of their back gate. Others can only tell where their gardens are ey uie lop rsus or tne fences and the heads of the cornstalk These things strike a stranger as objection able, bnj the citizens " "' they seldom happen and ought te be taken aa lessens te everybody that Mount Helly 1 exceptionally favored by natnre at alt ether times. In any case the swamping et part et the town came tee late te threw any light en the cause el the fever, but It does furnish suggestions of miasmatic dampness. The water company has Issued a statement te the public which declares that a wide spread belief has grown up that the Kancecas water is inherently bad, and that thla beller Is unwarranted by the facta. "New what I the present situation 7" It gees en, " the cause of the evil and what are we te de under the circumstances. It net possible for any community te be afllicted by a similarly un fortunate occurrence 7 The facts apnear te tie that the fecal matter from a case el typhoid lever last spring at Smith vllle, a village about 4 miles above Mount Helly, wa thrown Inte the Kanoecas, and possibly polluted the water at IhlH pelut, and this pollution, It la clalmed still continues, although we are asssured that the primary cause at Huiltnvllle was stepped some time ego. Much 1 tlie theory of our fever epidemic. It la also just te say that when sus picion fell upon the water a a tnsslble cause of the fever case or some of them here the tieard or director ordered the pipes te lie Hushed, tbe tank and the crib te be cleaned, and thn Inlet pipe run out Inte the stream te a point which, In their Judgment, wa con sidered quite Hatiafaclery. Besides, the res ervoirs WHru thoroughly cleaned out about the 1st of June last. The company ha done this much and Is -prepared still te de any thing it can le remedy the evil. With all the known facts berure us, upon the theory that the cause Is In the stream and net In the mai-blnery of the water company, no one will claim that It Is possible for the com pany te cleanse the stream ; or will any one suggest te the company a reasonable plan wbereby they can, with certainty, supply this town with water ether than that which they have at their command T" There have been no marked changes In the condition nt the fever patients. The doctors believe that the worst of tbe epidemic is ever. They new have the dysentery cases en hand te battle with. An outgrowth of the epidemic is a fierce rivalry between Mount Helly and the nolghberlbg city or Burling ton. The newspspars et the latter place are publishing splterul little paragraphs about "the days when Mount Helly used te be healthv." In return the Mount Helly Jeur nalist have hunted up the etuclal returns of the death rate throughout New Jersey and remark that last year it was Ul.Hi per 1,01)0 Inhabitant in Uurliugten and only 18.78 In Mount Helly.

All these will act In bis favor and In November he will poll a vote that far exceeds tbe esti mates usually placed by Republicans en a Democratic candidate's strength. MIKB TAMO AT tiUUUTIHU.

The delegate were alew In getting together this morning. Outside tha mercury regis tered 05 In the shade, while Inside the ball an almost litter lack of ventilation made the heat even still mere oppressive. Twice as many people were admitted te the fleer of tha ball than It wa capable of comfortably accommo dating, and the delegates crowded around se closely up te the platform that the represen tatives el the press were literally penned In. HenaterHberman waaene of the earliest ar rival, and a he took hla aeat among the delegation from the Htb district he was heartily cheered. When the convention had been called te order It was reported that there had been no contesting delegations, and the report of the committee en platform was at onee read. Nearly every plank brought out the heartiest applause, but the last one, Indorsing Senater Sherman as Ohie's candidate for tha presidency, created a furore, the delegates cheering themselves hearse. When the reading had concluded there was a pause for a moment and the eyes of the delegates began te wander ever the room In search of the leader el the lllalne movement, but they had decided at the last moment that it would be useless te make a tight, and when the plat form and resolutions were put te a vote there was net a dissenting, voice. Then the Slier msnltes celebrated tbelr bloodless victory with mere exultant shouts and yells which lasted while the senator proceeded slowly down the aisle te assume his position as per manent chairman. That he was pleased and gratified ever his victory was evident from the genial manner In which be beamed upon the Im menne gathering. 1 1 Is speech was deliv ered In his best style. He eulogized Gov Gev Gov eruer Feraker as the man who bad "pre. vented a Democratic president from surren dering te the rebela the banners and flags that bad been wen in honest warfare ;" and said that hi action In this connection had touched the hearts et the people, net only of the state, but of the Union. The last legisla ture, he said, was the intxl useful and patri otic since Ohie was born, and as for the plat form Just presented, It did net contain a rot ten plank. In thanking tbe convention for its endorse ment Senater Sherman said that while he knew that at present It was purely a matter of sentiment be valued the action of the con vention as much as though it assured bis election. At tbe same time be recognized the fact that the question rested with tbe dis tricts net merely of tbe state but of the coun try. He believed tbe district rules just aa he did In lbSO when that belle! cut oil all bis hopes of success. Uev. Feraker upon being Introduced de livered a lengthly speech dealing with tbe platform adopted by tbe Democratic conven tion last week at Cleveland. TSe Ticket. Hen. J.

The Republican party In convention as sembled submits te tbe people of Ohie tbe following declaration or Its principles : First We are In favor et a protective tarill, te secure te American citizens the privilege of supplying every article which can be pro duced a well in the United States a in ether countries, and sufficiently te supply Ameri can wants. Such a tariti makes a demand for, and give employment te the labor of American cltlzens, and thereby aids in secur ing just compensation ler labor. We de nounce the Ohie Democratic platform of a tariff for revenue euly, and which demands an indiscriminate reduotien In all duties en Imported articles, the effect of which would be te encourage Importations, thus giving American patronage te foreign producers and foreign labor, rather than te our own. Second We adhere te the public policy under which our country has received from Kurepe great bodies et honest industrious citieuH, who have added te tbe wealth, pro gress and power or our country, and while we welcome te our shores the well disposed and industrious emigrant who centrlbuu-s, by bis energy aud intelligence te the cause or Iree government, we view witb alarm un restricted immigration rrein foreign lands as dangerous te the jieace aud geed order of tbe country and the lutegrlty and character of Its cltienshlp. We urge Congress te pass suca law aud establish such regula tions aa shall protect us from the Inroad el the Auarcmai, me uemmunisi, tne roiyga reiyga mist, fugitive Irem Justice, the Insane, the dependent paupers, tbe vicious and criminal clatses, contract labor In every form, under any name or gutse ; and all ethers, who seek our shores, net te become a part et our clvllUitieii and citizenship, who ac knowledge no allegiance te our laws, no sympathy with our alma and institutions, out wne come among- us iu ihkb war ujsju society, te diminish the dignity and rewards of American werklngmen and degrade our labor te their level. Against all these our gates should be closed. Hut while faveriug every honorable and practicable measure te protect Auioriean labor against theevll etleets of foreign Immigration and competition, we recognize also the dangers which menace it at home, and condemn aa hostile te its cause and as subversive or its dignity and (lower, the bold and persistent usurpation In manyoftheatateaet Its political rights and privileges. The condition of the men who labor in the North cannot be maintained or improved se long aa tha men who labor in the Seuth are wrongfully deprived of the rigbta and powers of American citizenship. Their labor meet In close and immediate competition, aud neither can be degraded without striking at tbe prosperity and independence of the ether. Heoegulzlng these plain truths, we demand a free ballet and a fair count iu all sections et our country. We demand it and will ever demand It aa the only seu roe of Justice te the real producers of prosperity and wealth, and the sole security of tbe republle and lta tree Institution. Third Wa deprecate national strife and divisions. We have placed the war with lta bates and revenge, behind ua ; but tbe set tlement of tbe war muat stand Irrevocable respected, honored and observed In every part of tbe republic Mere we have never demanded ; leaa we will net have. Congress should exercise lta constitutional authority aud take control and supervision et election or representative in wengress. xnepiauermgi i in fnr liberal pen siens te tbe soldiers and sailor of the Union, adequate appropriations for national water way, and demands that If tee awtaw ean grown tobaeoo.

The rate of pension bills la condemned, the language In wbleb several et Mr. Cleveland'a vetoes have bean couched la denounced and the particular veto et tbe dependent pension bill Is characterized aa a violation or the oft repeated premlaaa of the Democratic party, and a demand la made that Congress shall pass and tha president approve liberal pension enantmanta. Tbe administration of Governer Feraker la In dorsed and the legislature praised for the passage of the Dew law. There Is tha usual strong tariff plank and the platform concludes with tha following in reference te Senater Sherman : Keoegnlzlng, as tbe Kepubllnana of Ohie always have, the gifted and tded statesmen of the Kepubllcan party of ether states, loyal and unfaltering In their devotion te the suc cess et the organization In 188H under what ever standard bearer tbe Kepubllcan national convention may select they have just pride in tbe record and career of Jehn Sherman as a member of the Repub lican party and aa a statesman of fidelity, large experience and great abil ity. Hla career an a stateman began wun tne birtn ei the Kepubllcan party t he has grown and developed with the growth et that organisatien ; bis genius and patriotism are stamped upon the records et the party and the statutes and constitution of tbe country, and believing that bis nomination ier tne eiuce or presiaeni weuia ee wise ana judicious, we respertlully present hla name te the people of tbe United States as a candi date and announce our hearty and cordial support of blm for that olllee. The Sherman plank In the platform pledg ing unqualified Indersement wa greeted with tempestuous cheer. The platform wa adopted unanimously ; there being no opposition from tbe Blaine men.

Tbe dispatch aaya Lord Klgln and Mayer Oswald contrived te procure seats at some distance from the American exjuralenist.
