Craft, a wealthy resident of Glen Cove, Long Island, was murdered today and his body decapi tuted in a teuderlion district known as the Empire Garden cafe, in est 1 wenty ninth street, within a few doors of Broadway. All evi dunce goes to show, say the police, that Craft, who had been making tho rounds of the tenderloin, incautiously displayed a large amount of money in the Empire and was killed by one of the waiters, known as 1 nomas lobin, lor the purpose ot robbery. The police also say that knock-out drops were first administered and that then tho victim was dragged into the basement and killed with a cleaver. The odor of burning flesh attracted the attention of tho occupants of the upper of the house early this morning and led to the discovery by the detectives of the headless body of a man in the basement.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27. Considerable uneasiness la felt among Jobbing gro cers of this city over this season a corn pack, according to the Journal of Commerce. The situation owing to the almost unprecedented shortage In the Maine pack and to a very marked falling oft fn years. Many leading Jobber bought heavily for future de. livery from the packers and also sold heavily to the retail trade. They are now wondering where the goods will come from to All these orders or how they will satisfy their customers. Prices have shown a marked 'In crease. Two weeks ago, Maine stand ards were quoted at from 95 cents to $1 per dosen spot, as compared with the present nominal price of 11.15 to $1.20. with very few offering at any price. The last sales of state stand ards brought 87 1-2 cents a doaen against 72 1-2 cents two weeks ago. A large business Is being done In West ern conl by local Jobbers, sales having been made on the basis of 70c f. o. b. factory on Iowa pack and 75c f. o. b. factory Ohio pack. While corn shows he greatest short age, there Is also one In other canned goods. For Instance, It Is estimated tlrtit the salmon pack Is 1,000,000 cases less than last year and there is also a shortage In the sardine pack. It to feared in some quarters that there may be a shortage, too. In tomatoes, although it Is too early to obtain any definite news about that pack. AMERICAN PEAT FOR FUEL. CHICAGO, Sept. 27.

Men Pronght From San Francisco Yesterday for tie German Ship. The arrival of the steamship El der from San Francisco last night was attended with much excite ment. There is bitter war on be tween the sailor boarding house people and tho representatives of the shipowners, including the German consul at Portland, O. Lohim, who is a new man in the position. It s the old, old story, but that doesn't detract one iota from the bitter interest that i manifested by the parties con cerned. When the German ship Peter Rjckmere finished her partial cargo at Portland Captain Walsen needed a crew. The Portland price is f05 a man. The boarding-house people allege Walsen all along led them to believe he would secure his crew here as soon as the Kickmers finished loading that portion of her cargo which was lightered down the river, but instead he wired to San Francisco for 17 men. The boarding-house people had a friend below who acquainted them with Walsen's, action and informed them that the men would come up on the Elder under guard. So the scene of hostilities was changed last evening to the O. R. & N. wharf, where a crowd had gathered in anticipation of an in teresting situation. - The . anti-boarding house ele ment had made elaborate prepa rations to prevent loss of the men who came up, and early in the day served the boarding-house people with an injunction that was remarkable in its terms. The injunction restrained them and their employes from interfering in any way with the sailors, nor were they to be permitted to peak with them or approach near to them. The injunction came from Judge Bellinger, who is decidedly blunt in bis dealings with the boarding masters. The terms of the injunction were so sweeping as to make the instru ment a cuiiosity. When'' the Elder arrived Cap tain Walsen, Attorney Hume, of Portland, and a number of doputy United States marshals were pres ent, as were John Grant, P. 3. Lynch, James White and other representatives of the boarding house combination. It was Mr Grant's intention to ask the 'sail' ors if they were American citizens and willing to ship, but later he changed his mind, wishing to avoid legal complications. The sailors were gathered on the for ward deck, where they were im. mediately joined by Walsen, Hume and the marshals. The boarding-house people held aloof, After a short conference, the raeu were brought ashore and placed on the launch Swan, to be. taken to the ship in the lower harbor. Of the 17 men who started from San Francisco only 11 were delivered here. The other six were "lost" en route, but just what happened to them does not ap pear. It is said the boarding house people had a representative aboard the Elder, but this is de nied. It was told yesterday that the Elder was to stop in the lower harbor and there set off the men but the plan was abandoned. Tho boarding house people ' seemed to find much satisfaction in the fact that not 11 men ar rived, and there was not the least sign of a clash at the wharf. Mr. Graut said yesterday that his charge for men was f 65; that the figure was reasonable, consid ering the scarcity of men. He was unable to give the San Fran- i i Cisco price, wnicti is saia to oe $50. - :"l''-:.y The present squabble marks the reopening of hostilities and it is believed further difficulties will ensue. Locally sentiment favors the runners. 1 Alger Wins Out. Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 27.
