ALL ENGLAND ALARMED.
Fears That the Dreadful Scourge Tvm
Spread In Every Direction Reports or
Deaths Confirm the Suspicion that
Cholera had Seen Brought Into the
British Isles.
Loxdox, Aug. 29. If all the deaths that
are being reported from Asiatic cholera are
true, there is no doubt of Great Britain's
having a visitation of the dreadful scourge.
From Gravesend, Swansea, Glasgow and
Dundee, towns in England, Scotland and
"Wales, reports come of death from the dis
ease, showing that the efforts of the health
officials to keep it out of the country before
proved fruitless. And now this afternoon
comes a report that a person died from
Asiatic cholera at Boltbn, the large manu
facturing town, which is 12 miles north
west of Manchester. The place is one of
the principal seats of English cotton manu
facture and thousands of mill operatives lire
there.
The permission given by the health offi
cials at Middlesborough for the landing of
the crew of the steamer Gerona from Ham
burg promises to have most serious results.
As announced in these dispatches the vessel
was placed in quarantine after one of its
crew had been attacked by cholera, but in
the meantime a number of the ship's com
pany had departed for their homes. Six of
them went to Dundee, where they reside,
while another ot the crew went to Aber
deen. Among those who went to Dundee
was Mr. "Walker, the Engineer of the
Gerona.
Shut the Door Too Xiate.
Shortly after his arrival there he was
taken sick and died in a few hours. The
physician who attended him says there is
no doubt that his death was due to cholera.
"When it became known that "Walker was
dead, the greatest excitement prevailed in
Dundee, and also in Aberdeen, where the
seventh member of the crew had gone
ashore. Steps were at once taken by the
health officials to isolate the remainder of
the crew in Dundee and the man in Aber
deen, until all danger of their spreading
"contagion is passed. The residents of both
places, however, believe that the men have
been allowed to go about the towns long
enough to Rpread the disease, if they carried
the infection, and there is widespread
anxiety prevailm; in every quarter of the
ttfwns. An extraordinary watch will be
kept in both places for the first appearance
of choleric disorders.
A sailor arrived at Swansea to-day from
Cork. He was found to be suffering from
cholera and was immediately removed to
hospital. The appecrance of the disease in
Swansea awakened the port authorities to
the responsibilities of their position, and a
meeting was summoned to decide upon
measures for the prevention of any further
invasion. x
Gravesend People In Dancer.
A steamer belopging to the same company
as the Portia has been in quarantine at
Cuxhaven, on the Elbe, C8 miles northwest
of Hamburg, for a week owing to the fact
that Two deaths from cholera occurred on
beard of her. This steamer is expected to
arrive at Gravesend to-night with a large
number of poor emigrants. The inhabi
tants of Gravesend are awaiting her arrival

with much apprehension. It is "feared that
should an outbreak -of the disease occur at
Gravesend it would have grave results.
Gravesend is only 20 miles from London
and is a favorite place of holiday resort
Immense crowds of excursionists from Lou
don visit the place and to their.trade much
of Gravesend's prosperity is due. The es
tablishment of a cholera hospital near the
town and the constant arrival of immigrant
irom inrectea ports will tend to drive their
trade away.
The effect of the reports of the death of
the three of the steamer Gerona passengers
from cholera was discernaible yesterday in a
great falling off in the "ninal number of
Sunday excursionists.
Mo More Immigrants From Hamburg.
But the better class of the inhabitants of
the town do not regard this as an unmiti
gated loss. "What they fear is that, if the
disease breaks out in Gravesend, it will be
an impossible task to fight it The sanitary
system of the tpwn is antiquated and will
prove an excellent factor in spreading the
disease. The excitement in the town, how
ever, was somewhat allayed this afternoon
by announcement that the company which
convers most of the aliens to Gravesend,
had decided to cease its passenger traffic
from Hamburg until the cholera epidemic
iu that city comes to an end.
The Norwegian bark Seladon, Captain!
Thorsen, from Mobile July 5, arrived at
Shields to-day. As she was entering the
harbor it was seen that she was flying a yel
low flag, meaning that she had sickness on
board. She was at once boarded by medical
officers, who found two of her crew ill. The
sick men were closely examined, and the
officials declared that they were not suffer

"Washington; Aug. 2a The following

"The Department has already taken the

"The news of the Department's action has
not probably reached the Consul."
The Acting Secretary, continning, said he
believed every precautionary measure that
could bo taken to prevent the admission of

taken. New suggestions on the subject

solely due to the'nse of Seine water of bad
quality, never formed a contagious center of

sanitary situation has improved to such a
degree that all danger may be considered to
be averted. This report, the Minister says
further, makes it clear that none of the
LFrench ports have shown, and do not now
show, a single case oi cnoiera, not even a
suspicious case.
The report to the committee is dated Au
gust 8. It says, in part, that "the use of
the Seine water appears to have been the
sole condition of the formation of the cen
ters of infection, and this explains the small
degree of expansion, or rather the non-ex-pausion
of the epidemic. Having its
origin in the domain of the Seine water, it
remained there and formed no -center of in
fection outside ot this domain, although the
conditions for importation were not want

their discharges. "We may absolutely as

NOT A MILD EPIDEMIC.
The Best Anthorities Say the Disease Is
Present In Its Worst Form.
London, Aug. 29. The Berlin corre
spondent of the Times says: "Since Friday
the names of all travelers, bound hither
from infected places, have been telegraphed
here in advance to facilitate the work of in
spection on their arrival: Traffic from here
to Hamburg is extraordinarily small but
from Hamburg here it is very heavy." The
h'orth German QazetU urges the adoption of
an international agreement for concerted
action against cholera.
The Times St Petersburg correspondent
says: "The average daily cholera record
here is 100 new cases and 20 deaths. It is
the greatest mistake to say that the epi
demic is a mild one. The best authorities
affirm the contrary. In some cases the vic
tims succumb in two or three hours. The
bodies of victims frequently exhibit strong
muscular movements an Hour after death,
thus proving the severity of the attack.
The true proportion of deaths is not very
high, but the disease is of extreme viru
lence." PROTECTING THE FRONTIER.
France Will Establish Sanitary Stations In

Paris. Aug. 29. The Minister of the In

will then sign an order (embodying advice
from the Board of Health) for the estab
lishment of a sanitary cordon alontf the
Eastern frontier, from Dunkirk to Delie,
and for the 'maintenance of sanitary sta
tions in all the seaports of France. It is
apparent that sufficient medical assistance
will soon be available.
The British and American Consuls at

Hamburg, A.ug. 29. The official cholera
statistics place the number of new cases of
the disease reported on Saturday at 435 and
the number of deaths at 149. On Sunday
and np to noog to-day 148 new cases "and 72

less danger from ambulances during the
night The city yesterday was Btrikingly
quiet There was little traffic on the streets
and concert gardens, which' are usually
crowded to their fullest capacity on Sun

has become the traffic on the tramways that
that the companies are restricting their
service.
In Altona, 77 new cases of cholera and
33 deaths from the disease were reported
from noon Saturday up to noon to-day.
Owing to the outbreak of the disease in the

BEBX.C?, Ang. 29.-a.The fulfillment of
the promise made by the authorities of this
city, of publicly announcing the first case
of Asiatio cholera occurring here,has greatly
allayed the public inquietude arising from
the exaggerated reports in regard to the
disease. Fifteen cases of cholera were re
ported to-night but none of these were of
Asiatic type.
In the districts of the city inhabited by
working people, energetic measures are be
ing taken to keep them cleansed and disin
fected. Great complaints are being' made
as to the laxity of the supervision exercised
over travelers arriving here from Hamburg.
Many Hamburgers write to the papers that
they had been allowed to leave the railway
station nt Berlin without having to undergo
the least inspection. 1
Prof. Koch has issued a warning against
the over watering of the streets. The hu
midity, he claims, favors the spread of
bacilli, and the rapid consumption of water
prevents effective filtration at the water
works.

They Decide lo Resist Any Attempt to Cut
Down Their Wages.
TOUNGSTOWN, O., Aug. 29. 5j9eJaZ.
The heeters' helpers, employed at the roll
ing mills here, have decided to strike if the
policy is carried out by the manufacturers
of reducing their wages 10 per cent, as they
believe now will be done at one of the mills.
The helpers were notified that their wages
would be reduced 10 per cent at that mill,
and this resulted in a mass meeting being
called df all the helpers, at which it was
unanimously decided to resist any reduction
iu their wages.
The helpers assert that when the confer
ence scale was made up there was nothing
in it providing that the wages of heaters
helpers should be reduced, and they pro
pose to resist any action being taken in this
direction. The pay day of some of the
mllU occurs next Saturday,, and if there is
any decrease in their wages a general tie-up
is likely to occur at all. the mills.

SriCIAl, TELBOIU1I TO THIS DISPATcn.l
- New York, Aug. 29. The Quarantine
Commissioners and the Board of Health are
making every effort to be prepared for chol
era when it arrives. Everyone is confident
that Health Officer1 Jenkins is doing all that
man can do to make the quarantine system
here as perfect as possible, and it might be
said that he knows co rest night or day.
Every fresh alarm that comes, by cable or
otherwise, is the signal for still stronger
action in order to make assurance doubly
sure. Dr. Jenkins early in the day issued
the following order to the representatives
in this city of the different shipping lines:
All vessels from cholera-infectod ports or
carrying steerago passengers from infected
localities will be subjeoted to qnarantlno of
detention irom two to five days. Passengors
and their baegage will be transferred to
Hoffman Island, where they -ill receive a
bath, while basgage and clothing are disin
fected by steam. Immediately after snoh
transfer, steerage and cargo will be disin
tected. The passengers will ho then re
turned to the vessel, whleh, in the absenoe
of any development of suspicious cases, will
he allowed to proceed to her dock.
Authority of the Health Officer.
This regulation is in accordance with a,
tele gram sent to the Secretary of the Treas
ury requesting that the same regulations at
the port ot departure be enforced under the
direction of the United States Consul. If
the health officer is satisfied upon investi
gation that such regulations have been car
ried out at such ports in regard to emi
grants, the above regulations will be modi-,
fieci.
The above regulations will entail on this
department an enormous amount of labor,
but by the co-operation of the steamship
companies it will be accomplished. Rep
resentatives from the 13 transatlantic lines
were invited to meet Dr. Jenkins to-day
for a conference in reference to this order.
Dr. Jenkins explained the necessity for the
,pjrder.-and convinced vcyone that such a
course wasemaaffectuythe 'gravltyof-tbo
situation. AUladinitted the force of his
arguments, but it is s'aid tbat some of the
azents did so with apparent unwillingness.
,"I think the State Board of Health ought
to act now, and I believe it will act," Dr.
Jenkins continued. "It would be well if
orders were issued to the other seaboard
cities in the State and along the lakes to
make the quarantine as rigid as it is in New
York. No one can tell how cholera may,
find its way into this city. . Every possible
avenue should be guarded."
,, A Very Busy Day at Quarantine.
Dr. Jenkins was asked about the choice
of a hospital for the cholera patients should
any of them come to New York. He said it
was a matter for the health board to attend
to. In case' it came by sea those infected
by the disease might be kept in a hospital,
ship or Bent to Swinburne island.
"As to the emigrant hospital," he con
tinued, "It is out ot the question, as it is
being used as a hospital for insane patients,
I understand. There is the hospital ship
Samuel D. Carletoo, which would hold
from 250 to 300 patients. I have no doubt
the Board of Health will make suitable pro
vision for New York."
It was a bnsv dav at quarantine to-day
and for the next tew days Dr.-Jenkins and
his assistants will have their hands full ex
amining iucoming steamers, as a number of
trans-Atlantic liners are due to-morrow,
"Wednesday and Thursday. The steamship
Arizona, from Liverpool, the America,
from Hamburg, and the Piequa, from Med
iterranean ports, were overhauled in the
forenoon by Dr. Jenkins and his
assistants, Drs. Tallmadge and Sanborn.
The Arizona arrived after sun down the day
before, too late for inspection that day. As
she carried some passengers from Russia
great auxietv was felt lest she shouid have
cholera patients on board, and it took
several hours to satisfy iDr. Jenkins that she
could be safely passed,
AH the Passengers Well.
The passengers were in exceptionally
good health, and they were very much
averse to being examined and to having
their baggage cooked by steam. The bag
gage was disinfected thoroughly, and the
vessel received a clear bill ot health.
The inspection of the America was longer
that of the Arizona. She carried 100 pas
sengers less than the Arizona, but she
sailed from Bremen on August 17, the day
before cholera was discovered in Hamburg.
It took several hours aud several visits to
the ship before Dr. Jenkins made up' his
mind to give the ship a clear bill of health.
The Eed Star ,liner Friesland and the
steamer Polynesia, of the Hamburg-American
line, are expected here to-morrow.
The Polynesia is a passenger steamer, and
she carries principally immigrants. The
Friesland will be the ; first vessel
to arrive here from Europe since
the outbreak of cholera in Ant
werp. Mr. "Wright, of the Gorman
line, and H. Maitland Kersey, of the
"White Star line, said yesterday' that their
lines had stopped .taking continental pas
sengers, but were ttnly taking British and
Scandinavian passengers. J. Ter Kuile, of
the Fabre line, said that his company had
given orders in Europe to refuse all Rus
sians. Fumigation to Be Attended To.
Chief Clerk Healey, of the passenger de
partment 01 tne Allan-state line, said, with
reference to the cable report that
cholera had appeared ' in Dundee,
Scotland: "Our ships sail from
Glasgow, and I have n6 doubt the matter of
fumigation will be attended to'there. Our
reports will be fully alive to the situation,
we have received no-cable dispatches here,
as this is not our head office."
Over 100 complaints were received dur
ing the day of tenements in a filthy condi
tion. Orders were issued that they should
be cleaned at once. About twenty arrests
of persons who sold impure milk were
made. A quantity of decayed fruit and
vegetables was seized before nightfall.
A communication from Postmaster Van
Cott was sent to the Health Department,
stating that it would be well to have the

Lax Inspection Feared at Some Quaran
tine Stations State Rivalry May Work
Against a Strict Enforcement of Na
tional Orders A Supervision to Be In
stituted. Columbus, O., Aug. 29 jxrial. Sec
tetarylProbst, of the State Board of Health,
has returned from the Indianapolis meeting
of the Executive Committee of the national
conference of boards of health, of whioh he
is a member, where the question of a prob
able visitation of the cholera epidemic was
considered. Dr. Probst is of the opinion
that heroic measures should be adopted to
keep the disease out of the country, and
says the commission appointed to inspect
the quarantine stations will go to work on
"Wednesday. .
This commission consists of Drs. H. B.
Baker, of Michigan; J. N. McCormick, of
Kentucky; Irving A. Watson, ol New
Hampshire; Joseph Holt, of Louisiana; J.
B, Lane, pf, California; P. H. Brice, of
'Ontario, an.dD. JR. Orranans, of Mexico.
ICbe eommissloa.wiU meet at -Torpnto, and,
make its first inspection at Montreal. Tho
condition of the c'everal stations will 'be
made pubilo at once, as the commission
deems this course more expedient than to
wait until the work is completed. They
will be engaged for several weeks. ,
It is not expected that the members from
California and Mexico will be able to ac
company the commission on its tour of in
spection, but Dr. Probst, as secretary of
the national conference, to-day mailed
them an outline of the work.as agreed upon
at the recent meeting at Indianapolis,' with
the request that the California member in
spect stations on the Pacifio coast, and
the Mexican member those on the coast of
Mexico.
In this connection Dr. Probst calls atten
tion to the fact that the quarantine stations
are under control of and managed by local
or State authorities. There are some fears
that the rivalry between the different ports
may result in" lax inspection'of incoming
vessels, with a view of drawing traffic from
one port to another.
SHE SAILED RIGHT IN.
So Attempt Made to Stop an Immigrant
Steamrr at Philadelphia She landed
at the Lazaretto and Had No Suspicious
Cases or sickness on Board.
Philadelphia, Aug. 29. The steam
ship British Princess, from Liverpool for
this port, with 600 passengers aboard, 200 of
whom are immigrants from Hamburg, was
not boarded at the Delaware breakwater
this morning by United States officials, as
had been intended, but passed up the bay
without stopping. The reason for the fail
ure to examine her is not known, but as a
fresh breeze is reported, it is believed to be,
due to the poor facilities afforded the Gov
ernment physicians for boarding purposes,
their, boat 'being considered unsafe 4a a
rough sea.
JThe steamer'was stoDDed at the lazaretto
shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon by
the Health Inspectors of this 'port and her
surgeon reported everybody welL A pre
liminary examination revealed 'no suspi
cious cases of -sickness on the ship, which'
sailed from Liverpool August 17, stopping
at Queenstown, irom which port she ob
tained a clear bill of health.
The work of landing the baggacte of her
passengers was begun at once, and both are
now nndergoing a through fumigation. The
steamerwill be detained at least until to
morrow noon, when the Board of Health
will meet and decide as to the time of her
release. Meanwhile1 the passengers will be
placed under observance.
,The Board of Health to-day decided that

THE MACHINE DOWNED.
MoAIeer Wins at the Primaries In Phila
delphia Tow Also Claims a Victory
Double Conventions Sure to Be Held
and Blval .Candidates Bun for Both
Positions.
Philadelphia, Aug. 29. The Demo
cratic primaries to elect delegates to the
Legislative, Senatorial and the Third Con
gressional district conventions were held
to-night. Only in the Congressional dis
trict and the Seventeenth Representative
district were there contests of any kind.
The fight in the Congressional district has
been waged between Congressman William
MoAIeer and the regular Democrat ma
chine. The machine leaders have opposed
Congressman McAleer. Both sides have
made a sharp canvass, but Congressman Mc
Aleer undoubtedly carried the district to-
nignt oy a sate majority. At the Congres
sional Convention on Thursday, however,
It is thought the McAleer delegates will be
thrown out and the Ker delegates "seated.
.In such an event Congressman McAleer will
probaly hold a convention ol his own, and
go before the people with the claim that he
is the regular nominee.
In the Seventeenth Representative dis
trict BepresentatiVe John H. Tow occupies
the same position in relation to the county
committee as Congressman McAleer. Ho
was opposed by the committee with Samuel
D. Dailey and to-night both parties are-
claiming a victory. "Whatever the out
come. Tow's delegates will probably meet
the same fate In the Representative conven
tion, to-morrow, as Congressman McAleer's
will meet on Thursday. The result will be
the same Tow holding a convention of his
own and running in opposition to Dailey.
HARRY KERNELL A WRECK.
He Attempts to Do a Turn nt Tony Pastor4
and Breaks. Down Pitiably Htsned Oil
tho Stage Despite the Kindly Offloes or
Friend..
New York, Aug. 2a Special' An
eager and curiosity-controlled audience
filled Tony Pastor's theater, to-night. The
once favorite Celtic comedian, Harry Ker
nell, whose mind has been unbalanced, ac
cording to all reports of late, was waited for
anxiously to make his appearance.
He ambled forth in his customary shiftless
way, but what a change. There he stood,
a more pitiable picture than the sadly
stricken Scanlan, the poor, helpless Hart,
the maddened McCullough, or any other of
the long list of demented entertainers.
He told a limp story or two, gave out a
few tame jokes, and then attempted to spin
a yarn in his former inimitable way about
an' old Irish woman attending a
Methodist Church. The result was
saddening. He got so far as
the entering ot the edifice. Then he
stopped, looked pleadingly at the right
stage entrance, and in a weak voice gulped
out: "Weil, he's ljke all Irishmen, they
are supposed to go crazy some time."
A hiss, loud and long, went up, drowning
the kindlv cheers of Tils friends. Harry
Kernell's career had found a more " bitter
finale than that ol any of his predecessors
among the stage sufferers.

A few of the insurgents fought .desper
ately, until Haman, their leader, seeing
that the battle was lost, mounted his horse
and'fleil. The troops then returned to Tan

killed, for which they will receive 58 per

A MAN FATALLY SCALDED IN THE MILL
John Edwards, a Homestead striker, who
'was on exhibition at the World's Museum,
in Allegheny, yesterday, is now playing in
another role. Last night he was arrested
and placed in tne county jail charged with
aggravated riot.
Constables from Alderman McMasters'
office have been looking for Edwards for
several days. He has not been visible In
Homestead for some time. The officers
wanted him badly, as he is said to be closely
identified with the battle of July 6. Last
night the constables happened to hear that
their man was playing an engagement in
Allegheny. They went over and the huge
posters outside announced that "Prof.
John Edwards, the evicted Homestead
striker, and his wonderful musical family of
five children and wife," could be seen on the
inside.
A Striker Arrested While on Exhlblltlon.
This was shortly before 11 o'clock. The
officers went in and when the performance
was over they arrested Edwards in his pri
vate dressing-room. He oiuld not secara
the $2,000 bail required and was sent to
jail for a hearing Septembers.
Yesterday was a day of arrests at Home
stead, five prominent members of the Ad
visory Committee falling into the hands of
the law. Early in the afternoon three of
Alderman McMasters' constables arrived in
the town. Soon William Oeffner was quiet
ly put nnder arrest and placed in the pro
vost guard house. From that until 6
o'clock the constables were kept busy gath
ering in Homestead strikers. In succession,
as quickly as they could be found, Acting
Chairman Thomas Crawford, W. H. Gaches,
tressnrer of the relief fund: John McLuckie
and George Ryland were arrested. ,
Five AdvUory Bnrd Mrmb-rs Arrested.
Oeffner and Gaches were cbaroed with
conspiracy and inciting a riot, Crawford
and Ryland were taken on the same
charges, while McLuckie will have to
answer to conspiracy. This is the third
time he has been arrested.
The prisoners were taken down to Pitts
burg on the 7:12 train on the Pittsburg,
Virginia & Charleston road. Shortly be
fore train time the arrested, in charge ot
the constables and several deputies, accom
paned by Lieutenant Colonel Mechling and
the, Prpvost Guard, went down to City
Farm station. Colonel Mechling threw
his men ncroai the tra'kand allowed no one
to getap to the station. Everything moved
off quietly and tl e prisoner were gotten
aboard the train without incident.
This is.onlv the beginning of the arrests.
The constables have warrants for all the
members of the Advisory Committee, and
the strikers will be arrested as fast as they
can be located. To-day a number of arrests
will be made. The warrants also call for
some men who do not claim membership in
the committee, but who were alleged to
have had a hand iu the riot of July G.
S-veral Boxes of Cartridges Found.
The deputies were looking after Pinker
ton guns again yesterday, but failed to find
any. The room of James A. Hall, who
boards at 140 Fifth avenue, was searched
yesterday. Several boxes of cartridges
were found. The boxes were all full and
correspond with those used in the Pinker
ton guns at Homestead on July G. Hall
was not at home. The search is to be kept
up. The deputies think they have an idea
where the captured arms are now. The
place was to have been searched yesterday,
but'there was not time to do it properly.
The house will be looked after to-day. Yes
terday while the 'deputies were at work the
Sixteenth Regiment was kept in readiness
to assist them if necessary.
A number of the mill men came out yes
terday and the first thing they did was to
hunt a saloon and load up. Several of them
are now sorry for it as they are without a
job and in the possession of numerous
bruises.
Tho Nrrve of a Xon-Unlonlst.
One of the fellows was possessed of unu
sual nerve. During the morning he went
into O'Brien's saloon on Eighth avenue
Inside were some 10 or 12 strikers. The
fellow walked np to the bar and asked for
some beer. Just then be noticed the other
men. Turning around, he said: "Come
up and take one on a 'scab.'" A number
of them did. It was not long until the
non-unionist got into a discussion with the
locked-out men. Later the iellow was sorry
for bis liberality.
Superintendent Potter discharged a
couple of men for drunkenness yesterday.
Thev started down toward Homestead.
James Breardon, one of the men, went into
a saloon and got some more liquor. When
he came out he started in the direction of
. the milL Going n'p Eighth avenue past the
Amalgamated headquarters Breardon took
the other side of the street and pulled his
revolver out. There were a large number
of men on tho street, but' they did not say
much to the fellow. Deputy Ferguson saw
the revolver in the hand of the fellow and
started after him.
. A Deputy Sheriff's Funny Chase.
Breardon evidently thought the deputy
was a striker, for he commenced running to
ward the Provost Marshal's quarters.
When he reached the higher ground in
front of the quarters be faced the deputy
and pointed his revolver at him. Ferguson
told him to put the gun away, but Brear
don still kept his gun leveled at the
officer and tried to run backward- Fergu
son then pulled out his revolver and the.
chase was a ludicrous one. Breardon'a
footsteps were so rambling that his gun
was one second pointed at tne ground and
the next moment Mars was in danger. A
deputy went up in the rear and caught
him. He was taken to the guardhouse.
The revolver was cocked when taken front
him.
Some time afterward another mill man
was picked up at MnnhalL He was very
drunk, and fought the officers. He was
taken to the guardhouse. '
The World's Museum management are
greatly disappointed over Edward's arrest,
is being the first night of his engagement,
His family still remains on exhibition.
ALL OUT OH SAIL.
