IBrECIAL TELEGRAM TO Tint DISPATCn.1
2Cew Yoek, Aug;. 27. The reported
spread of cholera in Europe within the last
24 hours caused everyone connected with
the Health Department to be on the alert
to-day lor incoming ships from the cholera
infected districts.
Dr. Jenkins, the health officer at Quaran
tine, believes he has talen every possible
precaution against the infection coming
through vessels arriving in this port, and
now it looks as if the principal danger lay
in the chances of its being brought across
the border from Canada. There is every
probability that the immigrant traffic will
be suspended if the disease spreads much
furlher, as every day brings the scourge
nearer to Xew York.
The first step has been taken by the Hamburg-American
line, which announced to
day that it had decided to suspend its immi
grant traffic between the home ports and
2Cer York until danger was over. This was
done on the advice of Dr. Jenkins.
1 t Tournlno round AH RlcUt.
After the La Touraine arrived to-day and
was inspected and pronounced in good
health, the steerage passengers had to pass
by in ingle file, with heads uncovered. All
were ii :ood health, considering that they
bad parsed through an ocean voyage in
cramped quarters. There were 239 first
cabin, 176 'ecnml cabin and 486 steerage
passengers ti biard.
Captain Derrecagaii said that though the
vessel had a vcrv rough - oyaje, there was
no sickness berond ordinary seasickness.
The Utjrage and mail of the ship were dis-
infee'ed by steam and sulphur. Then the
ship i'iceeled to her dock. '-
The Gcllert, Irom Hamburg and Havre,
arrived alter La Tonraine, with 153 cabin
and 534 Mcerare passengers. There were
four cases of measles on board, but no
cholera. The vessel passed through the
same process as LaTourraine.
Olio Hard V.sl to Inspect,
D'iring the afternoon the Russia, from
Hamburg, anchored at quarantine. She
carried 12 first-class and 751 steerage pas
sengTs. Some of the steerage passengers
were bound for Baltimore. It toot a long
time to examine this ship. Dr. H. M.
Biirgs, consulting pathologist to the Board
of Health, had arrived in tbe meantime
and boarded the ship with Dr. Talmadge.
The RusMa received a clean bill of health,
but it was only after three visits had been
made to her.
Dunug the afternoon Dr. Biggs and Dr.
Jenkins bad a consultation. Dr. Jenkins
admitted that there was grave danger of
cholera reaching New York. On the sub
ject of stopping immigration, he said: 'The
Hamburg-American line stopped immigra
tion on my ad wee, aud I believe other lines
ought to do the same to make assurance
doubly sure. Every possible avenue by
which cholera could reach this city should
be closed."
Dr. Talmadge said that it might become
necessary to inspect all passengers coming
from Canada by rail, as had been done dur
ing the last outbreak of cholera.
Tim Augusta Victoria Searched.
At 5 o'clock the Augusta Victoria, from
Hamburg and Southampton, arrived. It
was suspected that some cases of cholera
were on board, but all the passengers were
in good health. Dr. Biggs watched the ex
amination of tbe passengers. She carried
203 first cabin, 161 second cabin and 635
steerage passengers.
A Dispatch reporter accompanied the
doctors in a tug to tbe steamer and saw the
steerage passengers pass in single file be
fore the doctors. Some of them did not
appear to like it, but had to submit There
was no sickness of any kind on board. The
vessel will lie at anchor during the night,
the fumigation of the baggage and mails,
not having been completed before night
fall. In the afternoon an agent from the
Netherland line called at Quarantine to get
a permit to land some rags and salted hides
and skins which had arrived on the Edam,
which got in early but had no passengers.
These articles consisted of 73 bales of rags
Irom Botterdam August 10, and 693 bales
of salted skins and hides from Bonlogne
August 11. Dr. Jenkins happened to be
absent to Perthamboy at the time, aud Dr.
Tallmadge refused to grant a permit till
Dr. Jenkins returned.
Mrasnrrs ot Prevention Takrn.
In this city the health authorities are
taking fresh means daily to have the city In
a clean and healthy state should the cholera
appear here. Tbe usual consultation be
tween the beads of the Health Department
took place to-day. It was decided that
everything -was being done necessary to
cope with the plague. The Sanitary In
spectors said that they had located the
worst spots, and bad taken measures to have
them disinfected.
Dr. A. L. Beebe, acting chief cbemiBt of
the Health Department and other officers
raided "Paddys" market on Ninth avenue,
about 8 o'clock to-night, The inspectors
started in on the east side of the avenue at
Forty-second street. The first vender hada
lot of tomatoes in pretty fair con
dition. Inspector Mars began to
look them over critically, and ttie vender,
thinking he had a customer, began to tell
it

the merits of hii -wares. He stopped in
blank astonishment as the Inspector fonnd
some decayed tomatoes and threw them
inso tbe basket which the drirer of the
Health Department wagon carried. Almost
every poulterer lost from two to half a
dozen chickens, and received a sharp ad
monition that tbe next time be would be
arrested.
More venders were caught in quIcK suc
cession, their stock seized, and themselves
arrested. All had bad musk .melons. Al
together nearly three tons of decayed fruit
and produce was seized.
UNCLE SAM IS ALERT,

more Vessels to Be Used as Hospitals. If
Needed.
Washington, Aug. 27. The only in
formation in regard to cholera received at
the State Department up to noon to-day
was contained in a dispatch irom Consul
Johnson, at Hamburg, who cabled that
there were 285 new cases aud 130 deaths
from the disease in that city yesterday.
The Superintendent of Foreign Mails has
written to the Postmaster Geueisl request
ing instructions as to the adoption of pre
cautionary measures to prevent tbe intro
duction of cholera into this country through
the mails. -The Department has instructed
Postmaster Vance that the health officers at
New York to communicate at once what
measures will by them be regarded as neo
essary. Secretary Foster to-day received a report
from Immigration Commissioner Stock
bridge at Baltimore in relation to tbe sick
ness that occurred among-the passengers of
tbe North German Lloyd steamer Dresden,
which arrived at Baltimore from Bremen at
noon on the 25th inst Commissioner Stock
bridge says the vessel passed tbe quaran
tine inspection and was pronounced in per
fect sanitary condition. The immigrants
were also inspected and passed by the sur
geon of the Marine Hospital at the port
Later in tbe evening two of the passengers
were taken with cramps and vomiting, and
a little later two others were also taken
sick.
Treatrd as Only Common Cramps.
The Marine Hospital surgeon jvas
promptly summoned, and at his suggestion
Dr. McChane, the local Health Commis
sioner, was also summoned. At the same
time, all ingress to and egress from the
building was stopped, the sick removed to
the ship and all passengers detained for 13
hours. The usual remedies in the case of
cramps were administered to the sick, the
doctors assuming that the disease was
cramps brought on by overeating of fruit.
At the expiration of the detention above
mentioned, .those who had been taken sick
having recovered and no other sickness
having appeared, and with approval of the
health authorities, the passengers were re
leased and allowed to proceed to their des
tination. The Treasury Department is acting
promptly on all matters that hare a bearing
on cholera, and nothing will be left undone
that may tend to keep infection from the
shores ot 'this country. To all intents and
purposes there now exists a national quaran
tine, the co-operation of the national and
State authorities in the.matter resulting in
the formation of a cordon which will make
it extremely difficult for a case of cholera
to reach the shores of the United States.
Xjockinr Ont for Ifext Sanson.
Surgeon General Wyman, of the Marine
Hospital Service, is now considering a
proposition to continue tbe disinfection of
baggage during the winter. This, it is
thought, will prevent the importation ot
cholera germs after the present alarm over
the matter has subsided.
The Treasury Department requested the
Navy Department to lend the Marine Hos
pital Service an old hulk or abandoned ves
sel ot some kind to be used as a hospital at
the Cape Charles quarantine station. The
Navy Department, however, was unable to
comply with the request, as there was noth
ing of "the kind available. Secretary Charles
Foster his turned over to the Marine Hos
pital Service the old revenue cutter Ewing,
now tied up at Baltimore, and sue will be
taken to Chesapeake Bay to the quarantine
station, where she will be anchored off
shore and will be fitted up for a hospital, so
that it any cholera patients are found aboard
any of the incoming ships they will not
have to be landed for treatment in the hos
pitals here.
The officials of tbe White Star Line tele
graphed the Department to-day, asking
whether the steamer Tentonic, which is ex
pected to arrive at New York soon, would
be detained at quarantine. A reply
was sent that the matter was entirely within
the jurisdiction of the State Board of
Health. The Consul of the United States
at Hamburg, in his dispatch to tbe Depart
ment ot State to-day, alter giving the num
ber of new cases and of deaths yesterday,
said the prospects are worse.
HOSPITAL CARS
To Be Itnn on the Railroads Entering De
troit If Cholera Appears.
Detroit, Aug. 27. Health Officer
Duffield has had a conference with Presi
dent Ledyard, of the Michigan Central
Railroad, relative to a quarantining station
against Asiatic cholera. It was agreed be
tween them tbat the best plan is to build a
light, wooden structure somewhere on the
line ot the railroad, and furnish a hos
pital car in which to remove cholera'pa
tients from the depot to the hospital. The
location of this hospital will, be kept a
secret, if possible, but it will be outside the
citv limits and far from any dwelling. The
railroad company will run hospital cars on
all their west-bound trains if the disease
should become prevalent
The Wabash and Grand Trunk surgeons
called upon Dr. Duffield, and it is probable
the same arrangement will be made with
each road. The Health Officer thinks that
the danger of having cholera in Detroit is
great, owing to,, the large number of immi
grants tbat pass through here from Canada.
CHOLERA IN GLASGOW.
The Two Patients Are Emigrants Who
Ware Bound for the United States
LONDON, Aug. 27. The .lt Jama Gazelle
says that two cases of cholera have occurred
at Glasgow. The patients, a man nnd a
woman, who were among a party of German
emigrants on their way from Hamburg to
the United States, have been taken to a
hospital.
The authorities of Glasgow have taken
every known precaution to prevent the dis
ease spreading. The party of emigrants in
which the man and women were traveling
have been isolated, and a watch is kept on
them.
It has been learned that the emigrant
party of which the stricken man and woman
were members was composed of 35 nersons.
The party arrived in Glasgow Thursday, in
tending to sail for America the same dav.
but the ship they had intended to take was
too full to admit them. Glasgow physicians
anticipate tbat other emigrants will be at
tacked. Both patients, are reported to be
progressing favorably."
One Death nt Antwerp.
Antwerp, Aug. 27. Five new cases of
cholerine have been reported here since
yesterday morning. One death in the same
time has been reported. The authorities do
not consider it necessary to open a laza

Hamburg, Aug. 27. There is no ap
parent decrease in the cholffa in spite of
the cool weather. The disease has appeared
on tbe islands in the Elbe. Hundreds of
wealthy people .have left the city. Tie
dearth of doctors ii severely felt. Several
nurses hare died. The school attendance
has dwindled to only 40 per ,cent of the
usual figures.
The official cholera statistics show that on
Thursday there were 295 new cases of
cholera reported in the city and 130 deaths.
TJp to noon yesterday there were 183 new
cases and 78 deaths. These figures Indicate
a large increase in both the new cases and
the deaths. TJp to yesterday there were
1,028 cases of cholera here and 358 deaths
from the disease. At Altona between
Tuesday and Friday there were 64 cases and
22 deaths.
All the schools are closed. The Bourse
was tbinly attended to-day, and the busi
ness of the citv is beginning to suffer from
the presence of tbe epidemic.
It is reported tbat the epidemic is extend
ing from the citv proper to the suburbs.
There are two cholera patients at Harburg.
At Wandsbeck, where there are seven eases,
four deaths have occurred. The usual
fetes in observance of the anniversary of
the battle of Sedan will not be held.
A dispatch from Berlin says: Prof.
Baths, who was Prof. Koch's companion in
his mission of inspection to Hamburg, has
returned here. He expresses himself as
satisfied with the measures taken by tbe
Hamburg authorities, and says he believes
they will suffice to quicklv stamp out the
epidemic. Official notice is given that four
cases of Asiatio cholera, which occurred in
Bremen, have not proved fatal.
Savannah Extends Its Quarantine.
Savannah, Ga., Ang. 27. Special
Great Britain and Ireland were to-day pat
under the ban of quarantine by Savannah's
Health offioials. A number of vessels on
the way here from ports of those countries
and Continental Europe will be detained at
quarantine several days.

New York, Aug. 27. The magnificent
Metropolitan Opera House was almost re
duced to ruins by fire this forenoon. No
one is able to get an account of how or ex
actly where the fire broke out, except that
it seemed to come from beneath the stage.
All the offices in the six stories of the
front were not tonohed by the fire, but those
of the Opera House, which were on the
Thirty-ninth street side, were partially
gutted by the fire and deluged by water.
.There was also an expensive library in this
section, which was also badly damaged, if
not destroyed. Tbe estimated loss is: Stock
and fixtures, $250,000; Opera House build
ing, $150,000.
There was a large water tank above tbe
stage. The engineer turned the crank and
let its hundreds of gallons ot water crash
down upon the names, but the water pro
duced no visible effect. There were
25 lines of hose in tbe building,
and the stage Carpenter turned one
of these on the flames, but in a moment
was obliged lo fly for his life. When the
flames had been sufficiently subdued to per
mit entrance to the building, it was seen
tbat tbe stage and everything from the
proscenium arch to the rear wall on Seventh
avenue had been entirely swept away ex
cepting the bare brick walls. The roof
above the stage was entirelv burned away.
I The work of refitting the Opera House
will be begun as soon as the water can be
fot out of it Abbey, Schoelfle and Grau
ave leased the building for the coming
season. They had planned to begin their
opera season November 21 next, and Secre
tary MoLaren expressed the opinion that
by energetic work the Opera House might
be ready for them on that date.
While tbe Opera House was burning a
disastrous fire broke out in a large five
story brick building on Wooster street,
which extended through to Prinee street.
Over 100 persons were in the building at
the time. The fire started in the basement
of the Wooster street end, occupied bv the
United States Frame and Picture Company.
Tbe flames spread with marvelous rapidity.
The other occupants were Belt, Butler &
Co., wools and raw furs; M. Bloomstock,
hats and caps; W. K. Kelly, publisher; B.
H. Wagner & Co., paper box manufact
urers. A number of employes were injured in
their efforts to escape. William Sperry,
one of the injured, au employe of the
United States Picture Frame Company, ran
upstairs to tbe top of the floors to save a
girl to whom be was soon to be married. He
was overtaken by the flames, and escaped to
the roof through the scuttle of an adjoin
ing building. Mary Hanley fled to the roof
of 108 Prince street, and was taken down a
ladder by a fireman. She was terribly
burned, and was unable to speak when
placed in an ambulance. She, has since
died.
Fireman Lang Weisser was on a ladder
against the Prince street building when the
walls swayed. The firemen below saw the
danger and cried to him, but he did not un
derstand. The wall fell before he could get
away. He was picked up badly injured
and removed to St. Vincent's Hospital. At
11:40 the Wooster street walls fell, and it
Is feared that several firemen were buried
in tbe ruins. Several factory employes are
reported missing.
The estimated loss on the Wooster street
fire is $150,000.

Shamoktn, Aug. 27. Special Four
burglars raided Charles Drumboskie's h,ome
early this morning, almost killing himself
and wife and securing a bag of money
amounting to 500. Joseph Gabriest, a
neighbor, returned from amine at 1 o'clock.
His home adjoins Drumboskie's. He 'just
closed his eyes when a cry for help caused
him to rush into tbe rear yard. As he was

him, one bullet entering his stomach. Btag
gering in he saw three me'n run out of the
front entrance nnd disappear in the mount

and fell unconscious.
Drumboskie's sleeping apartments were
visited. Drumboskie aud wife were found
almost dying. They were frightfully beaten
and almost crazed from pain and terror.
The robbers were looting tbe house when
surprised by sheeting outside. They are
being pursued by a posse and, will be
lynched If caught.

rSFECTAL TEXZGBAU TO TBI DISPATCH. 1 -
New York, Aug. 27. Chairman Thomas
Henry Carter at Republican National
Headquarters to-day bad a visit from Sec
retary ot War Stephen B. Elkina Secre
tary Elkins has been in West Virginia re
cently directing the Republican campaign
in that State. Whjit he thought of the
prospects he would not say, and Chairman
Carter maintained silence on the subject.
Chairman Carter submitted to an interyiew
later in which be said tbat he thought
everybody but the Democrats were satis
fied with the work his committee has done.
Kegardlng the South Mr. Carter said:
"We have had most encouraging reports,
but have not lost our heads. Whatever may
be done by us there will be carefully con
sidered, aud will be for the party's best in
terest." The chairman acknowledged that the situ
ation in some of the Western States looked
squally for the Republicans a few months
ago, but said tbat at the present time there
is every reason for Republican hopefulness.
Tbe issues which have taken those States
out of the Republican line, Mr.. Carter said,
are entirely local in character, and when
the appeal is made on national issues, they
will again swing back into the column.
What Carter Doesn't Talk A boat.
Mr. Carter devoted himself in his talk to
a consideration of the situation in the West
and Southland paid no attention to New
York, Connecticut and New Jersey, where
his committee proposes to make just ai vig
orous a fight as has been made heretofore,
though yet does not advertise the fact.
While he and his colleagues are talking
about the Southern States they are going
to carry, and the Western States they will
prevent the Democracy from carrying,
they are doing a great deal of quiet work in
tbe States which held the particular atten
tion of Quay, Clarkson and Dudley, fonr
years ago.
One of the States which it is said Mr,
Carter entertains hopes of carrying is New
Jersey. The recent conviction and impris
onment of Hudson county election officers
by the wholesale, and the fact that Jersey
City is in Republican hands, has encour
aged the committee to think that there is a
chance of Harrison and Reid's getting the
electoral vote under the hand of Thomas V.
Cooper, Collector of the Port of Phila
delphla, -5
Piatt Belled an for Mew Tork,
Mr. Piatt and bis State Committee are
trusted to look after this State, and will ba
ably seconded in their efforts by the Na
tional Committee, and particularly by its
treasurer. Cornelius N. Bliss.
Beside Secretary Elkins, other visitors
entertained by Chairman Carter to-day
were: Superintendent ot the Census, Robert
P. Porter; John S. Wise; National Com
mitteeman J. C. Long, of Florida; Na
tional Committeeman George W Hill, and
J. W. Baker, Chairman of the State Com
mittee ot Tennessee; ex-Oongressman Ben
Butterworth, of Ohio; President James A.
Blanehard, of the Republican clubs, just
returned from the silver States, and Thomas
Settle and United States Marshal Tyre
Glenn, of the Western district of North
Carolina.
Mr. Hahn, having made all of his assign
ments ot speakers for the elections in Maine
and Vermont, has gone to his home in
Mansfield.
Charles W. Haokett, Chairman of the
Republican Executive Committee, returned
from his short vacation in St. Lawrence
County and relieved William Brookfield of
the management of the State campaign to
day and spent the day telling stories to his
friends. He said that the story that he had
gone to visit the President at Loon Lake
was untrue.
Equally ei Hopeful at Harrltj's.
Chairman Harrity aud Mr. Whitnev at
Democratic National headquarters listened
to-day to news from the South, theNorthwest
and the Pacific slope. National Commit
teeman Henry D.-Clavton, of Alabama,
brought tbe news from the South and was
accompanied by A. G. Smith, Chairman of
the State Committee, and Congressman
John H. Bankhead, of the Eighth district
"Thereare thousands ot white men," said
Mr. Clayton, ''Alliance Democrats
who followed Kolb in August who
thought tbat contest merely a
taction fight. When they comprehend that
casting their votes for either Weaver or
fusion electors will be voting for Mr.
Harrison, they will give their support to
the Democratic nominee, Kolb got the
'support of almost every man with a griev
ance against the regular Democratic man
agement. But these Democrats will not
push their dissatisfaction so tar as to follow
it against their own party in fusion with
the Republicans."
Hugh C, Wallace, the son-iu-law oft
Chief Justice Fuller, who is National com
mitteeman from the State of Washington,
was jubilant oyer the possibility that tbe
four electoral votes of his State may be
cast for Cleveland and Stevenson. "The
Republican party of Washington," said
Mr. Wallace, "is split Seattle hai
controlled nearly all the offices ot
consequence, to the chagrin of the
rest of the Republicans of the State.
The Democratic convention came squarely
out against the Seattle canaL . The issues
are sharply drawn, and it is my belief that
the Presidental Electors may be carried
through."
F. G. Winston, State Committeeman-at-Large,
of Minnesota, said that if the De
mocracy can hold its vote of 1890, it will
carry that State for the Democratic ticket
in November. He said he came to tell the
National Committee tbat Minnesota is a
State well worth making an effort to get.
The Alliance, Mr. Winston reports,is strong
and well organized.

BtrFPAro, Aug. 27. Special. Tbe
continuance of the strike under new lead
ership s destined to proye disappointing.
The report tbat Miles W. Barreti had con
sented to succeed Mr. Sweeny was inaccurate.-
ilarrett Indignantly denies tbe im
putation that he had 'decided to command
the seceders, and asserts that the strike is
over, beyond any question of a doubt.
All the Lackawanna men who would be
taken back have resumed work, and the
road is now doing its normal business. A
dozen or more strikers who were suspected
of rioting were refused work.
General Superintendent liartlett, of the
Buffalo, Eochester and Pittsburg, will not
accept the services of the men who went
.out on his road, and he gives notice it will
be a waste of time to apply. Mr. Bartlett
thinks his road was unjustly treated, inas
much as he acceded to the switchmen's de
mands and received assurances that there
-would be no strike without giving him
warning. Tbe men went out and tied up
tbe road.
Superintendent Brnnn, ot the Erie, states
that many of the old men will be given
work. The ones suspected of robbing and
rioting, nowever, nave to prove an aiioi De
fore their names will be reinstated on the
pay roll. '
General Superintendent Bell, of the
Western New York and Pennsylvania, feels
much the same as Mr. Bartlett relative to
the return of the men. The road gave them
what they asked for, and expected to avoid
a tieup, but a sympathetic strike was or
dered, and the road was obliged to suffer
with the others. Many of the old men,
however, have been reinstated, and by
Monday there will be no vacancies in the
yardf.
General Agent Kniblo, of the Buffalo
Creek Railroad, will not hear the strikers,
and has aiked protection from Mayor Bishop
and Sheriff Beck for the non-union men at
work. No trains were moved to-day on ac
count of the withdrawal of the troops. The
new men feared violence and refused to
leave tbe company's boarding house with
out a guard of police or soldiers. The Le
high, Nickelplate, Lake Shore and West
Shore are willing to hire the strikers as
soon as they apply for work. No trouble
has been reported to-day.

Buffalo, Aug. 27. Bank Examiner
Whitton reports that the Third Ward Per
manent Savings and Loan Association and
the Erie County Permanent Savings and
Loan Association are insolvent. They are
ot tbe "permanent dime order, ot which
there are several in Buffalo. The Erie
County is said to bn in the worst condition.
Is owes its shareholders 1 107,000, including
about 510,000 fictitious profits. The Third
Ward Bank 'owes its shareholders 03,000,
including about 6,000 of fictitious profits.
Both associations, says tbe examiner,
have been doing an illegal business, mak
ing false entries on somebody's books and
dividing and paying monev representing a
premium which could only be earning so
much per annum during the life of a loan.
Tbe loan usually ran from 10 to 12 years.
Mr. Whitton says he will not be surprised
to find many other Buffalo banks in bad
shape.

rooms on tbe second floor with her little
child. She used to bring men to the honse.
On the night before she died, she remem
bered letting her iuto the house with a man.
it was early in the evening. Therj was a
lamp in the hall, br.t it did not show a very
good light.
Description of the Visitor.
The man was very broad and tall and
about 40 years of age. He had a very
heavv mustache but no whiskers. He was
wearing a silk hat, but was not wearing
glasses. He was in the house about an
hour. While the man was in the house
Matilda Cloverwent out for something, and
later on he went out The witncsswent to
bed about 10 o'clock and was awakened by
hearing the Clover woman screamine loudly
as it in pain. She called the landlady and
they went to her room. She was lying
across the foot of the bed with her head
fixed between the bed and the wall. Her
head was bent backward and she was lying
on her back. She said: "That wretch if red
has given me some pills, and they have
mode me ilL" She also said she was not in
pain, but that she trembled much when she
was taken with convulsions. She said
"Fred" had poisoned her.
Witness lifted her up and put her on the
pillows, when she said something seemed to
be sticking in her throat. Wituesseave her
tea. She asked lor drink several times.
She told the witness that while she had gone
Fred had made the pills and told her to
take tbem before she went to bed. He gave
her four pills. While the witness was
speaking to Matilda Clover the latter did
not appear to have attacks of pain and was
quite conscious.
What the Doctor Bad to Say.
She had convulsive fits which left her ex
hausted. She trembled all over and groaned
every few minutes, and while the attacks
lasted she said she thought she was going to
die and would like to see her baby. At
that time the landlady had gone for tbe
doctor.
The Clover woman asked that Dr.Groham
should be sent for. Mrs. Phillips came
back and said Dr. Graham was not in, and
she went for Dr. Coppln, who came, and'
witness asked Mrs. Phillips if she bad told
the doctor about the woman having taken
pills, and she replied that Dr. Coppin had
asked what pills they were. The woman
told him, whereupon the doctor said that
the man, meaning Fred, must either have
been drunk or mad to have given them to
her. Witness had never seen Dr. Coppin
before. She remained with the woman
from the time the dootor came till she died.
Some medicine came, and when the de
ceased took a spoonful she turned blaek In
the faee and her eyes rolled about Mrs.
Phillips had gone for the doctor again whea
the woman died. That was about 9:18 a. m.
In the afternoon Dr. Graham came and Mrs.
Phlllips'told him what had taken place,

said about being poisoned, and that pills
had been given her.
Committed on Fonr Charges.
Witness produced a letter which read as
follows:
Dear Miss Cloths Do yon remember the
night I bought your Soots? Yon were too
drunk to speak to me. If yon come to the
Andover at 7.30 to-nfght clean and sober
please bring this paper and envelope with
yon. Yours, Fasa.
Witness said she didnotknowDr. Graham
by sight. She did not know the character
of tbe house before she took service there.
After hearing the evidence Sir John
Bridge committed Cream on the four
charges of murder by poison, namely, mur
der of Matilda Clover and of the girls
Shreivell and Marsh. He was also com
mitted on the charge of having attempted
to murder Louisa Harvey by giving her
capsules of strychnine, which she pre
tended to take. The cases now go the
grand jury. The evidence renews the
theory that Dr. Cream was the White
chapel murderer.
M'LEOD'S NEW SCHEME.
Ha Has a Flan to Help Break Up the Ball
road Brotherhoods.
WU.KESBABBB, Aug. 27. Spicial
The employes of the Beading Bailroad in
this vicinity were thrown into consterna
tion to-day over the report published in a
local paper that President McLend had
issued an orderto the effect that all em
ployes who are members of the
Brotherhood must sever their connection
therewith. The local superintendent de
clined to say whether any such order had
been issued or not It was admitted, how
ever, that an order had been posted early
this morning giving all employes notice
that they must hereafter contribute one
day spay each month to the plan of insur
ance in vogue on the Beading system.
This Beading Belief Fund is designed to
supplant the beneficial features of tbe
Brotherhood. All employes on the Bead
ing old line were forced into the relief
several years ago.
An employe said to-day: "The firemen,
engineers and conductors have it in their
power to tie up the railroads of this country
from New Tork to San Francisco. Every
railroad excent tbe old Beading, is con
trolled absolutely by the Brotherhoods, an d
it is believed that if McLeod goes at us, as
we have reason to believe that he will, there
will be tbe biggest railroad tie-up ever
known in the world."

Ltotdos', Aug. 27. One of the most re
markable rescues in the history of mining
has been accomplished at the Parkslip coal
pit, near Bridge End, a mining town ia
Glamorganshire, Wales. Yesterday morn
ing, shortly after the day shift of 150 men
had -gone to work, a terrific explosion
occurred. The mouth of the pit was in
stantly closed and tbe crowds who rnshed
to the scene gave np all hope of ever seeing
any of the day Bhift alive. The explosion
set fire to the works and this added to the
hoDelessness of the disaster.
But at 6 o'clock last evening a party of
heroic miners went to work and soon bad
the mouth cleared and the fire subdued. Two
limp forms were brought to the surface, and
the doctors said the spark of life had not
gone out. Then the rescuers worked with
redonbled energy.
Those Nearest the Shaft Saved.
To-night most of the men who were work
ing near the shaft have been taken ont
alive. There are over 40 of these. This
leaves over 100 in the mine, and they must
all be dead.
All night long the volunteer rescuers
worked with energy unparalleled. At
6 o'clock this morning they had pene
trated 900 yards into the main shaft. In all
that' distance not a sign of life was discov
ered, but here aud there the body of a
miner was found. Shortly before
noon, while a band of the
rescuers were working their way
further into the pit, a sound was heard.
Word was passed to the pit mouth, and ioon
the welcome Intelligence spread around the
district that some of the imprisoned miners
were yet alive. In a short time there was
a scene of the wildest excitement about the
pit month.
Tunneling to the Imprisoned alen.
The sturdv rescuers continued their diffi
cult task. They determined to change their
mode of operating and to dig a sort of
tunnel. For many yards they thus dug
forward, cheered by tbe sounds heard now
and then, showing the survivors knew they
were approaching. At last the separating
bank of rock and earth fell inward and tha
rescuers entered an open space in which
were huddled together a number of the
miners who had been imprisoned since yes
terday morning. u.ne rescuers- ioenttttj
most of their comrades had been badl?-"in-
jured and burned.
At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon 39 of the
imorisoned miners had been rescued and
brought to the pit mouth. One of tbe res
cued miners said: "Bight of us had been
together in a level after the exnlosion. We
could hear the flames roaring through the
mine. After a time we tried to get out, but
were driven out bv the snlphur fumes."
Late this afternoon another rescuing party
saved eight more of the imprisoned miners.
The volunteer rescuers state they have sig
naled a party of imprisoned men, who, by
knocking, told tbem there were 14 waiting
for the rescuers to dig them out
Awfnl Struggles In the Darkness.
Some of the rescued miners ihrillingly
describe their struggles in the dark to
escape tbe coal falls. They kept moving
from place to place along the levels to gee
away from the falling masses. At times
some of them, half choked bv the noxious
vapors, would fall helpless. Their stronger
comrades partly lifted them and dragged
them to safer spots. Here they would rest
for awhile until the weaker men were able
to stagger along toward the shaft. Now
and again they would stumble over tbe body
of some unfortunate to whom death had
come without warning, but their own plight
was too desperate for them to attempt to
save anv of the bodies.
They "believed their only hope of escape
was to reach the shaft, and, staggering and
half the time crawling over huge masses of
coal, rock and earth, they pursued their
toilsome journey. When tbe explosion oc
curred, it extinguished all tbe miners' lamps
save two.
A Conference In Their Tomb.
The scanty supply of oil in these soon
burned out and the men were in utter
darkness. They had gone only a compara
tively short distance when they found their
way blocked, the whole of that part of the
level being filled 'np. Again and
again thev tried to force their way
through, but in their enfeebled state
they soon found the task hopeless. They
gathered together and discussed their
chances of rescue, which all agreed were
small. As time passed and the roar of the
fire behind the barrier was heard the men
despaired ot ever again seeing the daylight.
They gave up all hope of rescne, and, lying
and sitting down, they awaited the coming
ot tne death tney neiieved to be lnevitaDie.
Eventually a gleam of light was seen and
through the tunnel crawled aman,and those
who for such a long time had been staring i
death in the face knew that they were!
saved.

Prevents a Pennsylvania Farmer Pro
Reaping a Harvest of 850,000.
NEW YOEK, Aug. 27. Special S6
time ago a letter inclosing an affidavit, both
signed by Daniel 2. Harrison, of P.inggold
township, Jefferson county, Pa., was re
ceived at the United States Treasury De
partment, The letter stated that the bita
of greenbacks it contained represented
what was left of $50,000 in that kind of
money, which had been mutilated or eaten'
or carried away by rats. The affidavit
affirmed that the statement was true. The
bits of greenbacks inclosed showed that If
the bills they came from were with thent
they would amont to 117,000. The curious
part of the matter was that the denomina
tion of the bill It had been a part of was In
dicated Invariably by each piece, a coinci
dence that tbe Treasury Department did,
not feel inclined to attribute entirely to the
careful discrimination of rats.
It the Treasury Department accepts the
detectives' view of the case there will be an
interesting fnture for Parmer Harrison.
Tbe money, according to Harrison'i sworn
statement, had been secreted in an oat bin
two years, he having no faith in banks.
When he went to eet it only the bits for-
warded to the Treasury remained. Chief
Mc8weeney, of tbe Government Secrete
Service, investigated the matter and con
cluded it was a Imnko game, asHarrisonl
