Cholera Hovers on the Atlantic
New York. Sept. 16. During the
past 24 hoars at least 80 cases of sua
pected cholera have been reported to the
health department. Mrs. Maria Sposati,
wbo was reported last Dight to be suffer
ing from cholera, was examined ana
found free from the disease. Dr. Labotr
chere reported this morning that an
Italian in Sullivan street last night was
taken ill with vomiting and diarrhoea,
and died in two hoars. The case will be
investigated. Dr. Edson says there is
little doubt that Mary Connerly, tasen
from 692" Second avenue yesterday, has
the cholera. She is sinking ranidly,
John McAvny, a street-sweeper, was fonnd
suffering with cranio to-day He was
taken to St. Vincent's hospital. Ills case
is being investigated. A health depart
ment bulletin reports that the bacterio
logical examination of the intestinal con
lents from the body of Charlotte Beck,
wbo died September 13. revealed the
presence of the spirillum of Asiatic
cholera. So far, the board of health has
been unable to trace the origin of the
cholera cases which have occurred in this
city. The "four girls who landed from
the Wiesland and who are supposed to
have introduced the cholera into this
city, have been sent to the Willard
Parlor hospital, where they will be de
tained until the disease is stamped out. N
mere Trouble In Tennessee.
Memphis, TeDD., Sept. 16. The miners
in east Tennessee are again threatening to
go oo the warpath. General S. T. Carnea
commander of the military forces at Coal
Creek, baa deemed tbe situation so ser
ions that he has issued a call tor vniun
teere. Colonel A. Taylor, of the second
rtgiment, received a telegram from Geo"
eral Carnea to day, whwb stated that
unless he was reinforced ny volunteers at
once, it would be necessary to call out
more troops. It ia not desired by tbe
authorities to again press tbe entire state
militia into service if it can be avoided,
as the affect wonld be disastrous to many
young men wbo would lose their situa
tions with their employers. Tbe neces
sity for a heavier force at Coal Creek
arises from tbe trial of tbe prisoners cap
tnred lunng tbe recent riots. With only
a bandlul of troops to back up the courts,
there is danger that the prisoners will be
rescued by tbe miners and their friends,
who have been making threats to blow
np tbe courthouse with dynamite when
tbe trial begins. With a large force of
troops at Coal Creek, General Caroes
says the miners would not be po foolish
as to atlacK the garrison Those wbo
enlist will be paid a monthly salary by
tbe state.
Careless English. Health OfMr.ers.
London, Sept. 16. A cargo of freight
from Hamburg, consigned to dealers in
Convent Garden market, arrived here
yesterday. Officers of tbe local govern
ment board were warned of its arrival
and at once went to examine it.' They
found most of tbe fruit loaded in vans
going to a factory in tbe East End,
where cheap jama are manufactured.
Though it is known the' froit was
gathered in districts that are being ray
aged by cholera, tbe officials decided that
as it was sound tbey could not confiscate
it. ' Twenty siv rampora of plums, part
of tbe same cargo, were sent to Ezter,
where tbey were promptly seized and
burned by tbe health authorities, wbo are
less fastidions over tbe interpretation of
legal enactments when tbe uealth and
lives ot the community are threatened.
A Scare la Jersey City.
Jbbsbt City, N. J., Sept 16. This
city bad tbree cholera scares last mgbt
and this morning. It was reported a case
of cholera bad been found in Steuben
street. Then rumor bad it that tbe chol
era bad broken ont in a Morris street
tenement, and this morning it was settled
positively, according to report, that
somebody wa sick with cholera in Essex
street.' Health Inspector Benjamin was
kept on tbe go in bis carriage last night
and tbis morning. He declared none of
the rumors has any foundation in fact.
He fonnd tbe people sick, but their sick
ness could easily be discerned from chol
era. He also investigated last nlgbt an
alleged case of cholera in Hoboken, which
be says was notbing of tbe kind.
We lntf Want Them.
Ottawa, Ontario, Sept. 16. Tbe gov
ernment baa been apprised of tbe arrival
at Quebec of a number of emigrants from
Europe with through ; tickets, for tbe
United States. Tbe railway companies
absolutely refuse to allow tbe immigrants
to board the trains, and tbe immigrants
are - simply stranded in tbe provincial
capital. Tbey want to take possession of
tbe federal immigration buildings, but
the government requires these buildings
for Canadian immigrants, bence the for
eign bound arrivals are thrown on their
own resources. The difficulty will prob
ably only be solved by the steamship
companies taking theie people back to
Enrope.
A Fire on s fsna.'
La Grande, Or, Sept. 16. The two
barns of G. W. Bartmess, a larmer living
two miles east of this city, were destroyed
by fire last nigbt, together witb all their
contents. Tbe origin of tbe fire is an
known. About 11 o'clock Mr. Bartmess
was awakened by tbe light of tbe fire,
bat it was then too late to save anything,
as both buildings were -enveloped in
flames, in addition to bis entire crop of
bay. Mr. Bartmess loses all bis farming
implements an J nine bead of bones, one
ot tbem a stallion valaed at $1500. Tbe
loss will be about. $6000; partially in
sured. A liebanon Man Bnrlect Alive.
Lebanon, Or, Sept 16. Joseph Was
on, while inspecting tbe construction of
a sewer neai O'Neill's paper mill to-day,
was buried alive and bis limbs crashed
by tbe caving in of tbe sides of tbe exca
vation. Six feet of earth covered him.
All efforts to resuscitate the man by an
electric shock and other menus were fu
tile. The deceased was a prominent and
wealthy citizen of Lane county.
- The fresideat Has the Power.
Washington, Sept. 16. The attorney
general bas rendered an opinion declar
ing that the president of tbe United
States baa power tn totally exclude all
vessels coming from any foreign port or
country where any contagions disease
may exist. . This opinion would justify
tbe president - in case be exercised bis
power to totally bar ont all vessels from
cholera ports.
Bash Men oflsllp.
Fibs Island, ; Sept. 18. The Islip
board ot health at a meeting to day
adopted a resolution to tbe effect that the
landing and detention of passengers from
infected ships upon Fire island or any
place within the limits of Islip,' whsther
by direction of tbe health officers or other
officials or persons, is in violation of tbe
regulations lawfully established by tbe
board. Tbe chairman of tbe board was
dirtcted to take tbe necessary steps to
secure tbe indictment and prosecution of
all concerned. The board authorized tbe
sheriff of Suffolk county to apprehend
and remove all such, persons from tbe
limits of Islip, to prevent tbe farther
entry within it ot any such persons or
their baggage, and to call to bis aid for
that pnrpose tbe whole power of his
county. In view of this belligerent atti
tude of tbe Islip board of bealtb, Captain
Cochrane bas again cancelled bis orders
for the troops to return some time to
morrow. When be received tbe news be
ordered the battalion nnder arms; be then
put additional sentries around tbe land
ing points aod doubled tbe guards. He
telephoned the squad on board tbe Ripple
at Babylon, commanding tbem to come
to tbe island at nnce, and to resist all tbe
attempts ot the board. Tbe small boats
along the shore were seized for tbe use of
the military.
To Settle an Old Case.
San Fbancisco, Sept. 17. L. G. Car
penter was arrested last evening on an
extradition trom Oregon, charging bim
witb "enticing and persuading a person
to leave tbe state against bis will." Sher
ff H. A. Smith, of Clatsop county. Or,
served tbe papers, and Carpenter was de
taiued at tbe city prison until to morrow
or Monday, when be will go to Astoria.
In March, 1891, Carpenter, wbo was prac
ticing law at Astoria, acted as attorney
for Danus NorrW, arrested by Chief of
Police Bairy, of Astoria, for a murder
committed in 1885, in Washington, across
the river from Astoria. A writ of habeas
corpus was served on Chief of Police
Barry, and by tbe time of service and its
return Norris was put aboard an English
ship by Carpenter and Curtis, acting as
bis attorneys While JN orris was In
prison, be gave a deed to bis land in
Washington to Carpenter in trust for fees,
but now that be finds tbere are no
grounds for tbe tear of lynching at tbe
hands of a mob, be baa returned from
England, end bis case bas been taken op
by Sheriff smith. Carpenter claims that
tbe trouble is really toe outcome of a
political fight he made against Smith and
Smith's friends in Astoria, and says be is
not fearful ot tbe result of tbe case.
. Two Vires In Tualatin.
Tualatin, Sept. 18. Tbe large new
onion warehouse at tbe sandpit, belong
ing to David Regetto, an Italian, was
burned to the ground last night. The
fire was evidently of incendiary origin.
The bnilding was valued at about $2000,
and was uninsured. It is said Regefo
was warned by an anonymous letter, left
nnder tbe door of bis residence some time
ago, that if be continued employing Chi
nese and Italians on bis onion farm that
be would regret it. This is supposed to
De tbe result or bis not heeding it.
During the absence of the family of
Mr. Weston Satnrdav evening, near Dor-
ham's mill, a lamp, which tbey bad left
burning, it is supposed, exploded, burn
ing tbe contents of tbe room and charring
the doors. The walls, which were plas-
tered,cbecked tbe names until help came.
lne building was insured. .
Favorable Hay for Mrs. Harrison.
Loon Lake, Sept. 17. This was the
most favorable day Mrs. Harrison has ex
perienced since she was stricken down
with pleansy, nearly 1.0 days ago, and
her physicians - express confidence tbis
evening of her recovery from tbis partic
alar complication. They gravely admit.
however, tbe terrible seeds of consump
tion are still present, and are apt to con
Hone a steady inroad on her constitution.
Tbe manner in which she bas overcome
tbe attendent complication encourages
tbem to believe she still has a fighting
chance against tbe more serious malady
with wbicb she is afflicted. Tbe report
that she bas cancer of tbe stomach is em
phatically denied by both Dr. Doughtery
and Dr. Gardner. .
ralnfnlly Resided.
: Seattle, Sept. 18. The steam pipe
in the boiler of the steamer MonticeUo
blew out this morning, near Kingston,
and Fireman Edward Fallibo was terribly
scalded. He was thrown down by tbe
force of tbe steam and partly covered by
tbe water before he recovered himselt.
By an heroic effort be reached the ladder
and was drawn on deck, ' No place on
bis body or legs escaped scalding. He
was taken to tbe Providence hospital in
this city, where he lies in a critical con
dition. Another man was scalded to
deatb on tbe MonticeUo less - than six
weeks ago in a similar, manner.
Walked Across the Continent.
Umatilla, Sept. 18. Robert Somen,
a Lrav whiskered oia man, waiaeo into
town tbis afternoon, leading a pack-
laden horse. He said he was making tbe
tnp from New York state to tbe Pacific
on foot to gratify tbe ambition of bis lite.
He left Glen Falls, a small town on toe
Hudson. April 9. 1890, and baa walked
all tbe way across tbe continent, leading
a Det borse. tie is a very entertaining
talker, and describes many thrilling Inci
dents of bis trip. He was glad to see
Oiegon, and tbe noble Columbia river,
tbe first glimpse of which he received
here. , " "
Went to salem From Portland.
Salem, Sept. 18. At an early hour
this morning James T. Hart was found
on tbe steel bridge in aa apparently
drunken stupor. He was taken to jail,
and not reviving medical aid was called.
Hart continued in a stupor all day, and
died this afternoon. He was either
druereed or took morphine witb snicidal
intent. He is about 84 years of age and
came bere from Portland. He is a mem
ber of tbe Knights of Pythias, and has
friends in California. .
Hineh Is still at Large.
- Mabshpteld, Sept. 18. Tbe murderer.
A. H. Hincn, is still at large. Sheriff
Welder and posse have Bcoured the coun
try between this city and Empire all
night, bat as Hinch is so well acquainted
witb every foot of tbe ground it will b
bard to capture bim now. eneritt yv ei
der bas offered a reward ot $250 for his
arrest. ' Weider now has two men under
arrest as accomplices, but it is probable
that notbing can be proved against tbem.
Secretary EUUns Reported Head.'
Washington, Sept. 17. A rumor,
wbicb could not be confirmed, was cur
rent to-night that Secretary Elkins was
dead. Very little credence was put in
the report. His private secretary to
night said be bad not heard of bis death,
and appeared rather incredulous. It is
now believed that tbe report is a canard
and arose from tbe fact that Mr. Elkins
was taken ill suddenly this afternoon.
The Fire Island Trouble.
- Babylon, L. L, Sept, 19. The situa
tion at Bay Shore is practically un
changed.; The citizens are simply wait
ing developments. Supervisor Young,
wbo is also president of the board of
health, is authority for the statement that
Sheriff Darling will be in Bay Shore to
night or to morrow, and that be will pro
ceed to Fire island to enforce law and
order. All tbe detained passengers are
now away from tbe place. Tbe sheriff
will also, according to Mr. Young, remove
all the belongings of tbe quarantine sta
tion which has been established tbere.
Tbis statement is in direct opposition to
what Deputy Sheriff Fletcher to'd a
United Press reporter tbis morning, when
be said that Sheriff Darling would only
take orders from tbe governor. Mr.
Young says that the sheriff has power to
BtVtsr in all tbe deputies he needs to en
force this law. Tbe board of health has
held frequent sessions during the day,
but tbe purport of their action is not
known.
more troops on guabd.
New York, Sept. 19 Another detach
ment ot the 13th Regiment lett for Fire
island this morning under tbe command
of Capt Geo. D. Kussel. Tbe detach
ment numbered seventy-five men. Tbe
attitude of tbe people of Islip' led to tbe
call for more troops. -v . ,
No New Cases Heported.
New York, Sept. 19. The cholera as
a matter of news has fallen out of pub
lic interest. Tbe city papers print it on
tbe inside' pages, reserving tne more
prominent places for tbe Grand Army
encampment and politics. No new cases
have appeared here, and news comes from
quarantine of the arrival of the steamer
Furnessia. from Glasgow, witb 629 cabin
passengers, all well.
Three hundred and nfty-eix passengers
Iroin the steamers Sugta and Seandta
were taken to Hoffman island this morn
ing, making the total number in quaran
tine tbere 1065. The passengers from
tbe pest ships Rugia and Smndia thus
turned loose are among tbe people wbo
are not known to have been infected, and
are being held tbere merely as a precau
tionary measure Thirteen of tbe lot
from the Scandia bad been in the peat
bouse on Swinburne island. General
Hamilton is vert indigcant at Dr. Jen
kins for sending tbem to Hoffman island.
A Serious Bit of News.
Camp Low, Sandy Hook, Sept. 20.
12:15 A. m. It is officially announced at
this late hour that Asiatic cholera bas
broken out here. Francesco Morenzo, a
Normania passenger, wbo was landed
here Snnday morning, died of tbe disease
in a tent where be bad been isolated, at
10 p. m. Tbe body will be cremated at
Swinburne island. A widow, whose
name is unknown, and wbo is accompan
ied by four children, was taken ill with
everv symptom of tbe disease soon after
11 p. M, and Dr. Ranch, a cholera expert,
immediately bad the family removed to
an isolated tent. Tbe man'a death is said
to have been largely due to excesses in
which be indulged Monday nigbt. Great
excitement prevails amopg tbe officials of
tbe camp, and fears are entertained of a
stampede of people bere from fear wben
tbe fact is made public. Tbe dead man
