THE HOSPITAL IS QUARANTINED. - A Statcn Island Pole Hie Cause of the Scare An Expert Diagnosis to 1o Made. New Vokk, Sept. 20. With the ex ception of a scare in Elizabeth yester- da-, nothing of interest is seen in the papers concerning cholera. This sus; pected case is a Pole named John Cu sick, who was taken to the hospital from some chemical works on Staten island, suffering from what the physi cians are inclined to think is Asiatic cholera. This morning the hospital authorities telegraphed the New York board of health to send a cholera expert to diagnose the case,. All nurses and patients in the hospital able to move left the building this morning in fright. The hospi-tal is quarantined. In this city the choiera as a matter of news has fallen out of public interest. The citv papers print it on the inside page's, reserving the more prominent places for the Grand Army encampment and politics. No new cases have appear ed, and news comes from quarantine of the arrival of the steamer Fnrnessia, from Glasgow with 029 cabin passengers. Three huudred and fifty-s"x passengers from the steamers Rugia and Scandia were taken to Hoffman Island this morn ing, making the total number in quaran tine there 10G5. The passengers from the pest ships Rugia and Scandia thus turned loose are among the people who are not. known to have been infected, and are being held there merely as a pre cautionary measure. Thirteen of the lot from the Scandia had been in the pest A notly Contested Case Whiskey Saved .'- -:; Them From Hanging.. -, From the East Oregoiiiim. A letter just received from Valej Mai-; heur county, contains the information that in the case of the State of Oregon vs. Willianj and-John Bailey, jointly indicted with Lee Mullen, Al Mullen and John Coder.for murder in the first degree, for the killing of 'William Hum bert on April 5th, 1S92, a jury was ob tained Thursday morning at 11 o'clock, just " one week and two. hou.KS. having been consumed in the effort,-and the case immediately proceeded to trial. The evidence closed at 9 o'clock 1n the evening, after which the counsel pro ceeded to argue-the case to the jury, and the charge and instructions of Judge Clifford to the jury were finished at 1 o'clock, when the jury retired to deliber ate on their verdict. In eighteen hours they returned into court with a verdict of murder in the second degree. The case was hotly contested on both sides, and but for the fact that the de fendants were in an intoxicated condi tion at the time of the offense, the ver dict of the jjiry would undoubtedly have been murder in the first degree. At one time during their deliberations the jury were about equally divided for murder in the first and second degrees, but after being out eighteen hours, those, who were for murder in the first degree, in order to arrive at a verdict, concluded it better to return a verdict of murder in the second degree. The case of The State vs. Al and Lee Mullen and John Coder, jointly indicted with the Bailey boys, proceeded to trial Saturday morning. It will be very hard to obtain a jury in this case, inasmuch as about one hundred jiirors were examined in the former case, and of course hardly any of them will be qualified to sit in this case.

Protected Pheasants. Complaints against persons for slay ing Mongolian pheasants still continue. """The temptation to ehoot these' beautiful and toothsome game birds proves too ever, none of these pheasants ever find their way into the markets here, orgrace the table of the Portland epicures. Pre vious to this to kill the Mongolian pheasant was against the law, and the risk was too great to tempt any game dealer to expose them for sale. Out through the valley the shooting of these birds seems to be indulged in with comparative impunity now that the law has expired. The Albany Democrat of . Thureday says: "One of the two men accused of killing 231 Chinese pheas ants in two days says they were two weeks killing them, an average of nine teen a day for eacli man. Among hunt ers the Chinese question is the absorb ing theme, and the words squabs, setting hens, etc., are mixed up in a manner to confuse, confound and upset a common man. in tho meantime a breaklast of the Celeetials knocks out even the an cient dish of nightingales. Whether drilled with their heads up, on the run - or on the wing, they present a diet un surpassed this side of Mars. Hunters should do all in their power to preserve the bird perennially, for it makes a noble dish ; but the universal verdict is that for pure enjoyment nothing has been offered ahead of hunting the Mon golian ring-necked pheasant' and his trotting mate.

He writes his wife from Chicago for money with which to come home, saying that he has no recollection of leaving home. "When Captain Oakes left here he had $2,400, and many tnougnt he went to New Orleans to wit ness the fights. This he denies, and in explanation of the disappearance of the coin says he was drugged, robbed and shipped to Chicago.

The steam thresher is now pouring in to the Oregon horn of plenty t remendous loads of wheat, and all the warehouses stand smiling at the fun. And all other branches of business smile gladly when the glittering stream of cash meanders toward the agricultural business. Ore gon generally has a golden autumn, a silvery winter and nn emerald spring. Oregon is all right. While the wheat crop is considered short, and will consist of fewer bushels for the state than last year, it is consoling that the farmers are engaging in more mixed farming, and that there will be more dollars made through the year than we made last year. Klamath Star. A Prehistoric Knee. Phikxix, Arizona, Sept. 10. In dig ging a sewer on Aladison street, work men have broken into a burial place of a prehistoric race, and the find will set tle many questions heretofore disputed by scientists. The fact that they cre mated their dead is proved by the find ing of several urns containing the ashes of their bodies, together with the teeth and pieces of skulls. San Francisco Accidents. ban-Cisco, Sept. 19. A rocka way containing seven young people was j upset on a steep grade in South San Francisco yesterday. Several of the ! party were' cut' and bruised, and Miss WilhelminaSmith, 28 years of Vigo, was so severely injured that she died early this morning. Joseph Linsky, aged 41 years, one of the -most popular police officers in this city, v.ai found dead in bed this morning, having been acoi dentally asphyxiated by gas. His wife and little son narrowly escaped a simi lar fate. They are still prostrated, but not in a dangerous condition: John Hunt, Louis Geary and Michael Swee ney went boating yesterday. The boat capsized, and Geary and Sweeney, each 24 years of age, were drowned. The Kind of- Songs That Tighten The : Crrlp on Itnnch Graft Land. '. We do not reproduce the following as a literary curiosity., jior . because it " is particularly interesting, nor that it con tains the merit of truth, but as a speci men of "Home Amusement" which acts as a boomerang, in this : that in its re coil it hits the sender. Tns Chronicle last week showed that certain eastern capitalists had peremptorily "sat down upon" further loans of money upon real estate securities in Wasco and adjacent counties, for no other, reason whatever than the published reports of last June concerning crop failures in the-Inland Empire, ' Reports that may ' possibly have been justified, at the time, but which should have been corrected later on, when the evidences showed conclu sively that the crop would be up to the average, with the exception of a few is olated cases. In spite of all reports to the contrary, more wheat, and that of finer quality than any previous year in history of farming operations in Eastern Oregon, is fiuding its way to market, and on the U. P. K. Hue from 100 to 12.5 car loads daily reach Portland. Barley and rye are equally as good as wheat; oats may be a little off, and the same may be said of potatoes in some localities', but not generally. So to sum it all up bunch grass land people have nothing to complain of this year; in wool, wheat, e, barley, fruits and vegetables, the world over are invited toa comparrison. But. to the funnv business.

Starbuck, for Boston, by the all-water route from The Dalles, which includes the steamers Regulator and Dalles City, Mr. J. II. Shearer and wife left for home last evening. They expect to leave for the east in time to see the wool arrive in Boston. This has been a very import ant matter . for The Dalles. It is the closing of a season of unprecedented in terest in the wool traffic of the Inland Empire, and as the shipments of Mr. Shearer by the Starbuck will go to the credit of the wool producers of the In land Empire, it will add another laurel j to the wreath that places The Dalles in i the very front rank of most desirable markets in the United States for pur chasing the best grade of fleeces.

Streeters, for which the de mand has been much larger than usual, were in limited supply and not nearly equal to orders'on hand. Chunks and good draft horses were also in fair de mand at steady and firm prices. There has been eurae inquiry for extra good driving teams and coach horses with practically none on the market.

Dr. Bryam, at Swinburjie island, telegraphs that there are four new suspected cases from the steamer Bohemia of tho pest-ship Hamburg-American line. There is a noticea ble friction between the federal and state health officers, which begins to cause apprcheneion just at a time when it was supposed the disease had been stamped out. Gen. Hamilton feels that Jehkins- has sent him infected passen gers, contrary to agreement. Jenkins' friends feel that Hamilton is seeking a selfish advantage by what they deem the cholera scare at Sandy Hook. The scare was set-up to be put down for personal credit. Some think a clash of state and federal authority imminent. Gen. Hamilton has this afternoon is sued an official bulletin on the condition of the camp. In it ho says there have been no deaths fro.n cholera today and no new cases of a suspicious character have occurred. Two weeks ago a Congregational min ister in Toronto received several reli gious tracts from Hamburg. There was no signature attached to the package, and the clergyman was curious to know their contents. He read them through, which took up considerable of his time, and laid them aside. Next dav he was compelled to seek his bed, and for the next week he struggled between life and death. During two days of his illness all hopes of his recovery had been aban doned, but through care and attention he finally pulled through: The attend ing physician pronounced it a case of Asiatic cholera. Clergymen who know of the case believe that the tracts were sent to the minister by some infidel in Hamburg. ' . j A Philadelphia dispatch reports the death of Geo. H.

ICcsults of The Plague on The Trade or Hamburg. j Hambl-uc, Sept. 21. People whohavo heretofore dono business with Hamburg are afraid now to handle anything made in the plague-stricken city, and in con sequence every branch of industry shows an entire absence of orders. Of course, with no demand for their products, manufacturers find it impossible to keep their employes at work, and dally the idle population of the city is gaining fresh accessions from the ranks of clerks, artisans and unskilled laborers who are discharged because of the utter etagna- tion of business. The distress is most marked among the dock laborers and fishermen. The shipping trade of the city has received a most Eevere blow from the epidemic, and many vessel belonging to Hamburg have been forced to lie up until the epidemic abates. . Dock laborers and other men employed about the wharves can find nothing to do, and in many cases actual starvation is staring them in the face. The fisher--men, too, find their occupation gone, as nearly every one is afraid to touch fish, let alone eat it, and those who still fol low their business find no money in it? -" Whole loads of fish are everyday cartecT '. away from St. Paul's market and sold for a few marks to farmers to be used as a fertilizer on their lands. Many por- . ters about the city are without work and H havo"been idle for a considerable time. Southeast of Hamburg and belonging to the city is a territory called Yerlande. Here are located many persons who cultivate small tracts of -land, and who have heretofore found a ready and profitable market for their products. Now all is changed, and those market gardners are on the verge of ruin. They are unable to dispose of their pro ducts, and the fruit is rotting on the ' trees. The situation is extremely bad in whatever light it is viewed, and suc cor for the impoverished and famishing people will have to come from the charitable. . Spuds to Show. Review.
