Two Supposed Cased of Cholera
TONAWANDA. N. Y.. Oct. 7 Two Dew
cases of cholera are reported in tbe house
at Irontou where the Kalmas, father and
son, died, and the excitement here is in
tense. In a little four room house there
live nine people who came to this country
three months ago, and were employed at
the iron works here. Frank Kalmas died
nine hours after be was attacked, and his
sou died of the same disease after an ill
ness even shorter. This morning it is re
ported Kalmas' wife and an Anstrian
named Falisch are down with the disease,
but in a milder form. The health au
tboritics are greatly disturbed and have
asked for instructions from the state
board of health. The bouse is quaran
lined, and the bed-jins; and furniture in
the rooms occupied by the Kalmas
burned. A lot of mail from Europe was
found in the house and it was aiso du
stroyed. Dr. Jayue said to-day that the
disease had eyery appearance of gonuine
cholera, but thinks it may be sporadic
cholera The people in the housf", be
said, had been eating tainted meats and
rotten vegetables. The surrouudings are
generally of an uncleanly character.
A Peculiar Fatality.
Tacoma, Oct. 7 A fatal accident oc
curred to-day nt Link's planing mill,
Joseph Storasli, who ran the Urje mould
ing machine, was struck by a sharp knife
of the moulder, which broke from its
fastening and flew out and bit him in the
chest. Stoiasli dropped as if shot. Tbe
steel knife broke two ribs and the ster
num, entering the chest cavity and sever
ing several arteries. The blood gushed
out in large jets. All that three surgeons
could do was to Hi 1 the wound with lint.
This did not stop the flow, and slowly he
bled to dealh.dviDg after ten hours agouv
at 6 to night. He was conscious to the
aot and fiads bis will. Siorasn had a
presentiment that the accideut was going
to happen, and, on going to work this
morning, told the other employes that
someone would , be killed before eight.
Two boars later, at 10 o'clock, be was in
ured, tie was a JNorwegiao, 20 vears
old, and single.
The Barrj -Xorrts Case.
Astoria, Oct. 7. Tbe testimony in
tbev Barry kidnaping case is all in to
nigbt, except two wiluesses for the de
fense. The witnesses for the prosecution
were eiamined this morning. The pros
ecution attempted to prove that Norris
was confined in tbe city jail by Barry
without lethal process, and that be was
lorced on board the vessel contrary to bis
will. Witnesses for the defense were
called this evening, and tbe testimony
was devoted principally to proving that
Darius Norris shipped on the Sierra
Blanea ot bis own free will, and that it
was not unusual to sbip sailors from the
county jail. Tbe defense failed to prove
that it was usual to ship sailora from the
county jail', and the prosecution proved
that Mr. Barry bad establised a precedent
in shipping a man held for violation of
state laws. Tbe case will probably go to
tbe jury to morrow afternoon.
A fraud Polled up at Last. '
Boise, Idaho, Oct. 7 Dr. F. Naultens,
the German oculist, who, on the 2d inst.
at Dead wood, 8. D, narrowly escaped
lynching at tbe bands of a mob for tbe
murder of Clem Spurlings, a fireman,
lived in Boise for a year previous to Feb
ruary last. He soon became notorious
throughout Idaho because of bis claim
that he was a son of a member of the
royal family of Germany. He bad a
peculiar seal ring, which be said was tbe
gift of bis indiscreet mother, and be de
clared that be received money every
month from his royal relatives. The
Germans of Boise bated bim cordially.
Finally he made a failure of a delicate
operation, and fled from this city, leav
ing many unpaid bills behind. A private
telegram from Dead wood says that Naul
tens is sure to bang. "
Interviewed tbe Train Robbers.
San Francisco, Oct. 7. A special re
porter Of tbe Examiner has just returned
from tbe King's river canyon country.
The paper will print to day an interview
between this reporter and Evans and Son
tag, which discredits tbe recent reports
ot their having started for the coast and
elsewhere. It says in substance: . Tbey
are both well, are in an inaccessible
place, end have, ample, provisions. The
only wound Evans received in tbe late
fight at Young's cabin was a graze flesh
wound over the eyebrow from McGinnnis'
'pistol. Sontae was -shot through tbe
fleshy part of tbe arm, bnt tbe wound is
now bealed. Tbey deny that they rob
bed tbe train, say they can prove their
innocence by an alibi, and claim that all
the sbootiog tbey have done bas been in
self -defense.
Dying by Tnouaands.
. El Paso, Tex., Oct. 7 Advices from
the interior of Mexico give particulars of
a most deplorable state of affairs at To-
luca. The poorer classes are dying every
day by hundreds from starvation and ex
posure, augmented by an epidemic of
typhoid fever. At Zacatecas 132 deaths
occurred last Sunday. The people are
growing desperate, and in several instan
ces, notably Morelia, attacked tbe gov
ernment warehouses, overpowered tbe
guards ' and carried off corn and other
provisions. All crops have been killed
by the unusually early frosts, and greater
suffering among the poor is expected this
winter than last year.

Paris, Oct, 7 Tbe funeral of Erneste
Renan was held this morning id the Col
lege of France. Many eminent men at

Gave op the Money.
Spokane, Oet. 9 Word bas just
reached here of an attemptel lynching
last Monday at tbe camp of Contractor
John Lioburg, just east of the summit of
the Cascades, on tbe line ot the ttreat
Northern. A laborer was accused of
stealing $80 frcm a fellow-workman. He
denied the theft , but as bis reputation
was bad be was not believed. After a
short consultation umong the men, all of
wbom were Flnlanders, he was seized, a
rope placed uround his neck, and be was
hauled up to the limb of a tree. Lioburg,
earning what was going on, hastened to
he scone, and cut the man down, alter
he bud hanged some minutes and was in
sensible. After be regained conscious
ness the suspected man was again seized,
stripped and tied to a tree and whipped
with a rope till bis back was horribly
lacerated. He begged piteouslv- for
mercy, and the punishment ceased on bis
promising to return the money, which he
bad bidden. This was done, and he wes
ben ordered to leave the camp, which be
did without delay.
The Train Broke.
Pendleton, Or., Oct. 8 Last night a
long freight train, west bound, broke in
two tbis side of Berobart station, between
Echo and Pendleton. Albert Rubnke
was following with a helper engine, but
there was not time to flag bim. Round
iog a sharp curve bis engine struck tbe

ahead. Ruhnke jumped from tbe cab
window and landed on a rock, badly
brnised. His side was severely hurt.

An Infant Killed.
Spokane, Oct. 8. A fatal runaway ac
cident occurred yesterday ' afternoon,
when Mabel, tbe 14-months old child of
Mr. Blessing, was killed. The family
were driving from tbe city to thefrhome
in Trent when tbe accident occurred.
Mrs. Blessing was holding the child, and
in trying to pass bef over to Mr. Blessing
she became entangled ia the lines and
tbe horses started to run. Tbey were
soon beyond control and Mr. and Mrs.
Blessing, the former taking the child in
his arms, leaped from tbe carriage. Tbe
child was thrown upon a stone, striking
its head in such a manner that death soon
resulted, Mr. Blessing escaped with a
broken leg, while Mrs. Blessing sustained
only a few slight bruises.
Offered to Hell Volnmbns' Body.
Washington, Oct. 9 A queer story is
told by one of tbe world's fair commis
sioners, who claims that he learned dur
ing a recent visit to the state department
that the remains of Christopher Colum
bus have been offered to tbe United
States as security for a $100,000 loan at
6 per cent, interest. The offer was made
by President Heureaux, of San Domingo.
The. commissioner states . that " although
the proposition wasV tbat tbe remains
should be taken in security for a loan, it
is tbe general belief about tbe state de
partment tbat this in merely a delicate
way of proposing an absolute sale. Tbe
proposition wae rejected, as tbe authori
ties in Washington bave no authority to
make sucb purchases or loans.
Another Bussian Famine.
Odessa, Oct. 9 There bas been no
rain in South Russia for four months, and
most of tbe agricultural lands has been
baked so bard tbat attempts to break tbe
fields result in breaking the plows. Win
ter wheat will be probably a total failure,
and a repetition of tbe great famine is
certain. In tbe northern governments
matters are a little better. Tbe last bar
vest in tbe Caucasus amounted to 125,-
000,000 pood, and should preseive that
region from trouble. Half of tbe middle
class proprietors of Bessarabia and Kher
son have applied for an extension of
credit on mortgage loans. Should this
not be granted tbe general ruin of tbe
small agricultural classes would be im
minent. improving the Vancouver Harbor.

ject tbe clearing of tbe river channel from
Vancouver to the mouth of tbe Willam

dian Pacific Navigation Company's
steamer Premier was struck by the steam
collier Willamette in a dense fog, of
Whidby island, about 10 miles tbis side
of Port Townsend, about 2 o'clock this
afternoon. Four were killed, one
drowned, and 17 badly wounded. Tbe
steam tug Goliah arrived here at 12:30

senger wedged in there. "
Well Known in Tacoma.
Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 9 Chester F.
Griessemer, who was found dying to-day
in a Philadelphia dive, was one of the
most prominent real estate men in Ta
coma and well known Id fashionable so
ciety circles here. He went east on busi

beyond recognition. Luske was seen re

Recovered the Knife.
Tacoma, Oct. 8 The plaining-knife
which killed Joseph Storasli at Link's
mill yesterday was found in bis body to
day. Tbe knife was seven inches long
and weighed 4 pounds. It stuck so
hard in the backoone tbat it required

remarkable that the man could live ten
hours after receiving sucb a wound and
retain consciousness tbe wbole time
None of the doctors suspected that the
knife was in his body.

Crew of a Wrecked Vessel.
San Francisco, Oct. 10 The brig J.
D. Spreckcls arrived tbis morning from
Kahului, Hawaiian islands, and reports
the sbip William A. Campbell, Captain
Havens, from Port Townsend for Queens-
town, was abandoned in a gale August

120 deg. west. Tbe" mate and ten men
and a boy arrived in a boat at Kahului
September 20, but Captain Havens and

n.t arrived wben the Spreckels left, and
t is feared tbey have beeu lost. Both
boats were bound for Hilo. Tbe mate's
boat was without watr jeight davs. The
men arrived safely, but the boy's condi
tion is doubtful, Tbe Campbell sprung a
leak during the gale, and it is supposed
she foundered.
A Ghastly Find in Spokane.
Spokane, Oct. 10 A ghastly find was
made to-day in tbe ruins of the Spokane
mill, burned last spiing. Several boys
were set at work this forenoon picking
pieces of charred wood and other relics
about tbe ruins. Near a clump of debris
at tbe northwest corner of tbe foonda'ion
they unearthed what appeared to bo the
remains of a human being. Startled at
tbe discovery,-tbey ran away, and at once
notified tbe police of their find. Officer
Fischer made bis way to tbe spot and
found corroboration of tbe story related
by tbe boys. Wedged down between tbe
sticks of charred timber and tbe burned
ruins lay the entire skeleton of a human
being. Tbe arms were folded, one across
