CS SI May Be Asiatic Cholera. A Probable Case of the Terrible Plague at New Haven Conn. New Havew, Conn., July 25.—Ex- Road Commissioner Thomas H. Sul- livan, one of the best known politi- cians in this city, is lying at the point of death with what is believed to be Asiatic cholera. Last evening shortly after 6 o'clock he left his place of bus- iness on Church street, complaining of feeling ill. On reaching his home he grew rapidly worse. His family phys- ician was called and diagnosed the case as cholera morbus. All the usual remedies were administered without tavorable results. Another doctor was then called, and the two remained with their patient until midnight, when the symptoms of rapidly ap- proaching death became apparent. Professor Russell, of the Yale Med- ical college, was then summoned. When he arrived, at 2 o'clock this morning, Mr. Sullivan was almost pulseless and had been given up by the other physicians. Dr. Russell per- formed the operation of infusing a sa- line solution and the patient revived soon. Both doctors eay that the symp- toms are those of Asiatic cholera. Professor Russell, however, is very careful in talking about the case. When asked if he thought it was really a case of Asiatic cholera, he answered by saying it was difficult to say, as no physician in this city had ever treated a case of that disease. At noon Mr. Sullivan was still alive, but little hopes of his recovery are enter- tained. AICI. Wellman Expedition. All of the Reports Indicate That It Has Been Lost. Loxpon, July 25.---Carl Siewwers writes to the Standard that he is in re- ceipt of advices from Norway that leave little doubt that the Wellman Arctic ex- pedition is lost. Experienced skippers just returned from the Spitzbergen seas express the same opinion, and Colonel Fielding, who accompanied Captain Narie’s expedition in 1875, shares this belief. The Pall Mall Gazette is in re- ceipt of similar advices from Tromso, all confirming the general belief in the fate of the expedition. Mr. Fielden,owner of the yacht Saide, received news of Professor Oyen’s dis- tress from Captain Johnannsen, of the sloop Anna. Mr. Fielden ordered the Saide to Danes island, which she reach- ed the next day, but only to be wel- comed by the protessor’s dog. Oyen was found in his bed in an almost dying condition. Upon a table was found a letter containing bitter reproaches against Wellman, whom he accused of having left him in the lurch. Well- man according to Professor Oyen, prom- ised that a man should stay with him and share his frightful solitude. But it appears at the last moment Wellman decided that a man could not be spared and so the professor had to be content with the company of his faithful dog. In spite of the thought that death was hovering over him, the professor refused to be taken oft Danes island, insisting upon remaining there, faithful to his trust. ———— Situation is Threatening. Hundreds of Striking Slavs March to & Strikers’ Meeting Armed to the Teeth. CONNELLSVILLE, July 25.—The as- pect of the striking Slav coke workers looks threatening here to-day. Hun- dreds of them marched in from the south end of the region this morning on their way to the Scottdale meeting, armed to the teeth. Many displayed revolvers and knives in “their belts, while others carried rifles and shotguns. President Barrett, Davis and McSloy, the strike leaders, heard that the strik- ers were on their way to the Scottdale meeting, openly displaying firearms, and hastened here to stop them. Their efforts caused a disruption among the striking foreigners’ ranks. Many of the Slavs refused to give up their arms and President Barrett and Davis told them that unless they did they could not attend the meeting. About one half of the southern delegation stacked their arms here and proceeded te the meeting, but the others refused to give up their arms and are skulking about the town. . Three more boxes of dynamite were stolen from the magazine house at Por- ter Hill last night. From midnight last night until early this morning the strikers kept up a continual cannonad- ing with bombs and dynamite. Their object was to frighten negro workers. —— Kidnapped by a Lover. How a Luzerne County Man Caused the Post ponement of a Rival's Wedding. WILKESBARRE, July 24. —- Annie Matin, a buxom Hungarian lass, made her home with her brother in the vil lage of Georgetown, situated at the foot of the Wilkesbarre mountain. She had two lovers, Michael Batsko and An- drew Sokiz. She finally consented to wed the former. The wedding was to have taken place on Monday. On Saturday Miss Matin was in Wilkesbarre doing some shop- ping, when she met Sokiz. The latter said bis sister was very sick, and he begged the Matin girl to accompany him to his home. Miss Matin readily consented, ‘When Sokiz got the girl to his home he locked ber up in a room and told her that he would keep her there until she consented to marry him. The lover was distracted over his sweetheart’s mysterious disappearance. He finally got track of her, and in the morning succeeded in releasing the girl from her imprisonment. The kidnap- per fled to the mountains, where he is now in hiding. The friends of the girl threaten to shoot him if he is caught. Miss Matin is 80 weak from her confinement that the wedding has been postponed. 5 TI. Now in the Senate. .

Censured Gorman. Arkansas Republicans Listen to Warm Praise of President Cleveland. ‘LITTLE Rock, Ark., July 25.—The Republican state convention was held yesterday, seventy-three of the seventy- four counties being represented by 300 delegates, one hundred of whom are colored. Ex-Governor Powell Ciayton, in a two hour speech, indorsed President Cleveland’s position on the strike and strongly censured Senator Gorman for his recent strictures of the president in the senate. There were deafening cheers when the names ot Robert T. Lincoln and Fred Grant were suggested for the presidential ticket in 1896. Hon. H. L. Remmel, of Newport, was nominated for governor at a late hour last night, and the convention then CH the advisability of either leaving the remainder of ths ticket blank or having the state central com- mittee fill it. Their platform declares for bimetal- ism, claims that the protective policy of the Republican party gave employ- ment to the millions of race laborers now clamoring for bread, and declares that the wrongs labor is now suffering will be righted on the restoration of the Re- publican party to power. It vehe. mently condemns the Australian ballot law as practised in Arkansas, and says that it disfranchises one half of the pop- ulation. It was 1:40 o’clock when the Republican convention adjourned. A resolution was introduced endorsing Robert T. Lincoln for president and Colonel Fred Grant for vice president for 1896, but hundreds shouted for Me- Kinley and the resolution was lost. The Vigilant’s Day. Rocaes Point, Southampton, July 24.—The American yacht Vigilant won to-day in her twelfth fifty-mile race with the Britannia. The advan: tage wag with the winning boat from the start, and the wind was fresher than has prevailed during any of the preceding events between these boats. The Vigilant won by four minutes and thirty-two seconds without count- ing time allowance, and by three min- utes and twenty-two seconds, if the es- timated time allowance, which she gives the Britannia, one minute and ten seconds, is deducted. The score now stands 9 to 3in favor of the Brit- annia. ————————————————— Recapture of Bluefields. SaN Josk, Costa Rica, July, 24.— The Nicaraguan General Cabezas has been reinforced and has retaken Blue- fields, but he was compelled to ask British aid in order to succeed. Mr. Gosling, the British minister, arrived there, and through the British consul, who has a great influence over the Jamaicans, he induced them to lay down their arms. Chief Clarence’s forces were driven from the bluff, but they are holding the lower coast.

Mr. Fisher has given the subject considerable at- tention and expresses his ideas as fol- “Some of the readers of the Daily News will likely remember that, during the summer of 1889, I gave some ac- count of my investigation with the lo- cust ; that being the year the brood of central Pennsylvania were up. Among other things I expected to establish the boundaries of our brocd, but did not get it fully accomplished. I found the southwestern boundary to be a few miles west of Altoona, and southwest of that and Bedford county, and that in some of the southern and eastern coun- ties they were up in 1885, and that our Columbia county, I have not known any full account of their mode of propagation or life, during their earthly period, given by any one. I found in my investigations that the young, when hatched or coming from the eggs deposited in the shoots of trees and falling to the ground, were very small, requiring a lens to view them fully, and that they had the same form as when they emerge from the ground, being furnished with their digging claws. I had provided myself with a zinc box three feet square, with an oak plank bottom, which I put in the ground and filled with suitable soil ; which I supplied well with the young by sticking in a number of shoots at the time of their coming forth from the I have lately been examining them and find that now, at the age of five years, they are about the size of a grain of wheat and still retaining their same form. And my opinion is that they will continue to grow slowly until the period of their coming up in 1906 for an employment of about 30 days of life above ground. They are certainly a mysterious insect, showing the work of the Divine hand. The etymologist of New York state, in mentioning some of the counties that the this season, states ‘¢ little is known about th through time, are in up there t comparatively we will know them more city was about 6 feet in height, weighed about 160 lbs, fair complexion, light hair, mustache, rings in the ears: One ear and the eyes were entirely gone: Wore blue pan- taloons and heavy coarse shoes, knit blouse, heavy woolen shirt and wore a cap. The body was found by children, who were out hunting flowers the day before, May 31st for decoration, and became frightened and ran home, and meeting a young man on the way told him, who went to hunt him and on his way met an unknown man who took him near to the body and pointed to it, and passed on, The police have not been able to learn who the man was. The body lay there until June 10th before it seems to have been found again and reported to the authorities of the city, when the chief of police with whom I talked went to the place and held an inquest and found the following additional facts. The body was in a very secreted place in the bushes on the side of a hill, about 40 feet from the blade of a razor, pools of blood being seen where the razor was found, and a cap and lead pencil about midway between the razor blade and and body, that showed from its position and condition of clothes that it had been dragged there. The right side of the throat was cut to the wind-pipe severing all the veins and large arteries. The left side was also cut but not so deep. The chief was posi- tive that it was a homicide. In his pocicets were three letters of foreign language that were sent to New York city toa Scandinavian and Finlander school, and trans- lated in English and returned to the authori ties, and found tobe from a mother in Fin- land to a son in this country, and they were published in the city papers of Olean. I was perfectly satisfied that the body there was not my son, and left there on the 6 Pp. m. train the same day, for Keating Summit, changing cars for Junction Summit, changing there again for Austin, reaching there about 9 o'clock, the train running no further that day" I remained there all night, took the train the next morning for Cross Forks, arriving there at3 p.m. A young friend and former room- mate of George's, Dick Chivers, a young En- glishmen accompanied me from Austin to Cross Forks and aided me in my investiga- tion. We went at once to George's boarding place, and thence to his room and searched his trunk for evidence that might lead to his whereabouts, but found nothing to aid us in that direction, but in the bottom of his trunk a razor was found that his roommate and the man with whom he boarded recognized as George's. I found some facts elsewhere that I will not state at this time. Iam sincerely thankful to the family with whom my son boarded, and, Mr. Mears, a manager of the Lackawanna Lumber Co., and postmaster at that place, and the other gentlemen who so kindly did for me what they could to help in the investigation. I left thereat 3 p. m. on Saturday, arriving at Lock Haven at midnight Sunday. Leaving there Sabbath morning without breakfast I walked the entire distance home 26 miles, anxious to learn how my fami- ly were as the other twin was not well. J. F. POTTER. Pine Grove Mentions.
