Several Victims of the Plague at Quarantine.

Two More Vessels Arrive From Ham­

burg With Cholera Aboard— The Outlook Is Gloomy.

MOIIK PEST SHU'S.

NEW OUK, Sept. 10.—The following expresses the situation at quarantine: Number of deaths, 4 new cases, 10 total deaths in port, 1.1 deaths on passage, :*1 srok, including "suspects," 67. The city is yet free from the scourge, but the hopes ot speedy relief to the fleet in. the lower bay have been shattered, The four deaths of Thursday occurred in the hospitals on Swinburne island. Six of the new eases were from the crew of the Xormannia. They wore stricken on hoard the ship. One steerage passenger of the Xormannia was taken from Hoffman island to the hospital. The other three new eases were among the steerage passengers of the Kugia. Eight "suspects" went to Swinburne island with the sick. The "suspects" include those who have been in dangerous proximity to the new patients.

The eight men who were taken from the Xormannia in agony Wednesday had only the day before been taken back to the ship after a twelve hours' stay on Huffman island, where they were scrubbed, fumigated and disinfected with all possible thoroughness. Along with some *00 others they were taken back to the Xormannia in apparently excellent health, and the following day they were prostrated with Asiatic cholera or something dangerously like it.

New YO :k. Sept 0.— Two more eholera-aMlicted steamships are held in quarantine. The Wieland, of the Hamburg line, arrived at daybreak with the dreaded yellow and black signal living at her peak,- ard the steamship Wyoming. from Liverpool, which has beeu anchored at quarantine since Tuesday, sent up the plague tkig at o'clock*. There were two deaths on the Wyoming Thursday night—both children—and four or live other persons are sick with the cholera. (Tn the Wieland there are understood to have been one death since Thursday night, four or live at sea. and a number of persons who are said to be ill. Yellow Mags also Muttered from the peaks of the Xormannia and Kugia showing that there were either deaths or new cases, or both, on board those vessels Thursday night. The death Mag also Moated over Swinburne island.

No Cholera in the City.

The health department bulletin, issued at 10 o'clock a. m., said there was no cholera in the city, but its appearance is looked for at any time, as the weather is favorable to the spread of the disease.

Americans Abroad Arc Safe. In order to ascertain the exact condition of affairs with reference to the cholera in the European districts exposed to infection and to learn whether any Americans there have beeu attacked by the plague or are likely to be, the World addressed on September 0 inquiries to the United States consuls in all the principal cities. The replies give the gratifying assurance that Americans are nowhere in danger. Even in stricken Hamburg the Americans are reported to be safe.

IteftiKC* for Cabin Passengers. The much-vexed question of the- disposition of the Xormannia's and Rugin's tirst and second-class passengers has been much simplitied by J. Picrpont Morgan, who has bought the bound steamboat Stonington and offered it to the state for this service. It is expect-, cd that the Stonington will reach here in tow of tugs early this morning. There will be no delay in 'getting the vessel ready for the passengers, and it is expected that, the transfer will bo made to-dav.

The- City of Xew York and La Hour-' 'govno have left l'or Xew York. Chauneev M. Pepew, hU secretary, and the. wife and daughter of Sceretary'Foster were taken off the City of New York on the cutter Grant.

An Appeal.

The following letter, written on the Xormannia September 7, was received in this city Thursday at tin* office of the Evangelist from Hew Panic) W. Fisher, P. P., LL P.. president of Hanover college, Indiana: "On behalf of the caliln pas-carers of this infilled ship. I appeal to you for help. Wo arc perfectly wJliimr to be quarantined but in tho name or humanity and of civilization, not to speak of Christianity, let tho quarantine beat least rational and not barbarous. We have not boon sick in the cabin except in one case, which skeins to have had almost no choleraic symptom*, and that occurred ten days ai?o. We have succeeded in getting the steerage away. Hut the crew cannot be removed. The. ship must have them aboard. One after another they sicken. Under these circumstance* we scarcely dare to hope that ultimately we, shall escape. At any rate, when can such a quarantine cud? Think of children, women, feeble persons, any set of men, even criminals, left to wear out the danger ot cholera in this fashion. The whole system is 'anchor the ship out as far at sea as possible, and let the disease do what it can.' If any set of people were in any other situation, enduring such peril as ours, millions of voices would be raised to rescue us without a day's delay. Why are we unworthy of help, situated as we are? Surely not because help is impossible. Put us ou another vessel. Land us at some safe point on shore and seclude us to any extent. But for God's sake do not perpetuate this barbarism on us here for a day longer. Try to help us at once."

Grant the t'sc of Sanity Ilook. WASHINGTON*, Sept. 10.—At the request of Secretary of the Treasury Eos ter, the war department has consented to the use of part of the government reservation at Sandy Hook for quarantine purposes. The cooped-up cabiu

passengers on the ocean steamers lying at anchor at lower quarantine in New York harbor will accordingly bo removed at once to the government reservation at Sandy Hook, and their comfort and freedom from pestilence, which have been an object of much solicitude to government otlicials here, will thus be secured as far as possible Target practice will be interfered with by this arrangement, but this is re garded as comparatively a small inconvenience in comparison with the results obtained in greater security to human life.

M'CARTHY\S CRIME.

Coi.twinus, 0., Sept.

10.—Edmumi

Mc­

Carthy and Charles Craig, colored, were hanged in the annex for condemned prisoners in the Ohio state prison shortly after midnight.

McCarthy killed Charles Xetterman, a drummer at Cincinnati, on the night of August '2 », ls'.M). Hi.s crime was what is known in law as a '•misadventure"— that is to say, lie intended to kill one person and, by mistake, took the life of another. McCarthy did not intend to kill Xette man. Whom he thought he was killing the murderer tie\er divulged. That was immaterial in the trial, howcyer, as the law punishes murderers for their intent. The night before the murder McCarthy had a quarrel with some young fellows over a woman of the town. A tight ensue*!. in which McCarthy was worsted. He saw Xetterman at a moonlight picnic the next night, and mistaking him for his assailant attacked him with a knife, almost severing, his head from his lvdv at. a single blow. He escaped into Kentucky and was captured some weeks later at Florence, in that state.

An attempt was made to prove insanity at the trial, but it was a failure. He was a crook, and at the time tho murder was committed was a paroled prisoner from the Ohio state penitentiary.

Crnix'* llloody Deed.

Charles Craig murdered Mary Craig, a woman with whom he had been living in an adulterous state for several years. The crime was committed in Cincinnati the morning of September l.'J, IS'.fO. She was fickle in her attachment to him. and would frequently leave him for other dusky admirers. Craig was a coal shoveler and of a low intellectual order. On these occasions he would drink heavily and become fran\ic with jealousy and rage. She found him in this condition the morning of the murder. Assaulting her with a large pocketknife, he stabbed her fatally and left the house, but shortly returned and, sitting upon her prostrate nodv. deliberately hacked her face into an unrecognizable mass. Then he gave himself up and made a full confession. Asked to plead to the indictment for murder in the first- degree brought against him. he said he was guilty aad asked to be sentenced. This one of a very few cases on record where r» sane person indicted for a capital oM'ensc has waived the Hght to trial by jury, and his attorneys subsequently attempted to secure a trial upon the ground that a person in the condition «f Craig had no right to waive a jury trial. All the state courts passed,upon the question and held that whLc no one could be denied the right of a jury trial any person might refuse it when offered.
