TEHOTtAM TO THTE DISPATCH.; QOARAKXiftG, Nirtr" Yobk, Sept. 5. Cholera has not released its grasp on tho three ill-fated ships at anchor in the Lower Bay. Three more deaths and fire new cases of the dreaded disease aboard the ships and among the patients on Swinburne Inland were reported to-day. Every new death postpones further the time of release to which the cabin passen gers of the Normannia and Eugia are eager ly looking forward. This il the record of yesterday's deaths: Engel, Otto, SO years old, of Normannia's crew, died ontheNor mannia; Johanna Boss, 64 years, steerage passenger of Eugia, died on the Eugia; child, name unknown, 5 months old, steer age passenger on Normannia, died on Swin burne Island. Five new cases appeared to-day, the pa tients all being stricken suddenly. "With I "n,ue , t m rtHtt.flnh nf I . . several of them death is bat a question of a I jroni few hours. This is the list: "William I They Qnenf, 19 years old, of Normannia'B crew; Theodore 'Zinnzek, 23 years old, of Nor inannia's crew; Hendrik Sterr, 5 years old, steerage passenger on Eugia; Josepha Pie koska, 30 years old, steerage passenger on Eugia; man, name unknown, steerage pas senger on Normannia, taken sick on Hoff man Island. The Total , Record Up to Data. To-day's three deaths swell the number of cholera victims within Hew York's harbor to ten, all of which hare occurred since the arrival of the Normannia and the Eugia Saturday morning. This Is the record of deaths among the crews and passengers of the three pest ships Since they sailed from. Hamburg with the latest germs of cholera aboard: Ship. city and throughout the country. They were all taken first to Hoffman Island and care fully fumigated there before being brought up to Quarantine. Senator MoPherson Still a Prisoner. Among the letters taken Aboard wu a registered one for Senator McPberson, and Dr. Jenkins' private secretary, Mr. Sequin, obtained a receipt -for it from the Senator, whose signature was shown to Tub Dis patch reporter. This effeotnally disposes of the report that Benator MoPUerson had escaped from the ship and had been seen in Newark Sunday. Letters have also come to the office of the line from the officers aboard the ship, de claring that no one has left the vessel since she dropped anchor early Sunday morning. Even the- pilot is still aboard, and is as much a prisoner for the time being as the passengers. When the messenger from the steamship company entered the Western Union Com pany's office with telegrams from the Nor mannia, there was a panic. The desk man refused to receive the messages, and two telegraphers in the office became excited when the matter get to their ears. The steamship messenger insisted that the tele grams be received, and he was forcibly ejected from the office. The messages are at the Hoboken doeks with little prospects ot their reaching tneir destination to-aay. Watching for Ships From Bremen. Agent Schwab, of the North German Lloyd line, said that he bad heard this morning there were two cases of cholera in Bremen. Thla, he considered a very im portant announcement, in view of the fact that Bremen is not an infected port He immediately cabled the office there to verify the report. The company have an arrangement with the American Consul to notify the State Department here at the first outbreak. The Bremen line ships now afloat are the Elba. Spree. Kaiser and Aller. The Kaiser is the last steamer which brings steerage passengers. Tlie Board of Health issued an official bulletin this afterpoon, declaring that no cases of cholera have occurred In this city, and that the city is now more exempt from contagions diseases than at any time In' several years. The death rate last week was 20.38 per 1,000, being the lowest death rate in this city in anv week since Novem ber, 1891. Bohrders are leaving the hotels along the shore near Quarantine in large numhjers owing to the presence ot the pest ships. They fear that cholera may spread to Staten xsiana ana tne island will be quarantined. There is apparently no conflict between the State and federal authorities on the matter of detaining; vessels. Dr. Jenkins declares be will hold ships from infected ports for not only 20 days, as dlrsettd la the President's proclamation, bat Iw o? 40 days if necessary. Cable Connection Is Suggested. A proposition will be made to Dr. Jenkins to permit a telephone cable to be laid to the Normannia as soon as possible so that those aboard may have constant communication with land. The proposer oi the scheme will allow Dr. Jenkins to have supervision over both ends qf the Wire. Dr. Tallmadge ex presses the opinion that the desired permis sion will be granted. The tugboats Rawson and Golden Bod ar rived here at 4:30, flying police flags and having on board forces of policemen. They were immediately directed to the Lower Bay, where they will start to patrol ihe quarantine grounds at once. Secretary Foster, with Collector Hen dricks, arrived late this afternoon on the rev enue cutter Chandler. Tho visiting health on also came to the quarantine pier disease were among the isolated cases was enoouraging. The police patrol arrangements were com pleted to-day. Superintendent Byrnes de tailed two sergeants and 16 policemen to patrol the district in which the quarantined ships are anchored and allow no boat to ap proach within half a mile of them. The police have two fast toes for this purpose. the Bawson and the Golden Bod. They began the patrol to-night Five Days Quarantine for Ij Bourgogne. Dr. Jenkins ordered the Frenoh liner La Bourgogne, which is in the TJpDer Bay, un der a quarantine of five days," There is a mild panio aboard, which Is entirely un necessary, as, no cholera has developed. The Stuppenhuk, which is also in the Up-. per Bay, has no cholera aboard, but will probably be detained for a longer period. Dr. Jenkins has asked the Hamburg American Packet Company for a Bound steamboat or other larger vessel to transfer me .Normannia s cabin passengers in order that they may be better and more safely cared for. Tne proposition origin ated with the passengers, who offered to pay for the steamer. The company, however, will agree to pay for it, Dr. Jenkins said, as well as for the proper care of the passen gers after they are transferred to her. He saw a representative of the company about the matter. After this is done, similar arrangements will also be made for the cabin passengers of the Eugia. At present there are only on Swinburne Island three nurses two women and one man. There are eight cholera pa tients there.

The mail will be taken ashore by Dr. Jenkins deputies after a thorough fumiga tion, but the police, patrol established yes terday afternoon under Superintendent Byrnes personal supervision will effeatu- ally prevent any but the quarantine boats approaching the cholera ships. Swinburne Island's Growing Population. Swinburne Island, where all the new cases of cholera are to be isolated as fast as they develop, shows now a population of 9 patients from the Normannia and the Eugia, who are under the direct care of Drs. Byron and Abbott Every effort wil be made to save their lives, but several are so far gone already that death seems to be certain. " Fortunately for Dr. Jenkins and his overworked deputies, no passenger ships arrived yesterday from European ports, but there was a plenty of pressing work to claim their attention, both in the Upper and the Lower Bay. On the Normannia the passengers have grown more than im patient over their enforced detention, while every days adds to the alarm of the more timid, who fear that the scourge will invade the cabins and prostrate victims there. Dr. Jenkins and the officers of the ship areco-operatlng in their efforts to make the passengers as comlortable as possible. The steamship company sent down a large quan tity of provisions to-day to the Normannia, and during their stay at quarantine the pasr sengers will be fed on the best the Newt York market affords. Cabin People At a Separate Ship. The sentiment has grown very strong among the cabin passengers that they should be removed from a vessel where cholera is lurking to one that is clean. This, Dr. , Jenkins believes, is impracticable, for no vessel could be obtained where over 400 pas sengers conld be cared for with .less danger to health. Dr. Jenkins says they are better off where they are now, as all the steerage passengers have been re moved to Hoflman Island. Nevertheless he has made a request of the Hamburg Packet people for a big vessel for this pur pose. The passengers are so anxious that they say they can raise ?10,000 for it if it can be procured. '- A big batch of mail was taken aboard the Normannia this morning, and in the alter-' noon many hundreds of letters were handed the Loner Bav with Dr. Jenkins. went to Dr. Jenkins' house, where mey win hoiq a conierence. Dr. Jenkins has announced that the City of New York from Liverpool, which is due Wednesday, will be detained until all the baggage ot all the passengers is fumigated. If there are cases of sickness aboard, or if there were any deaths at sea, the cabin pas sengers will be held from two to five days, or perhaps longer. Chauncey SI. Depew Is on Board. Dr. Chauncey M, Depew and wife .and daughter of Secretary of State Foster are among the passengers, but Dr. Jenkins says no exception will be made to the rule and they and their baggage will be subjected to the same treatment as others. No one will be allowed to board the vessel except quaran tine officials, and no passengers or baggage will be allowed to leave the vessel until Dr. Jenkins has giveU permission. B. C Kerins, of Missouri, member of the Bepublican National Executive Committee, is supposed to be on the Normannia. Mr. Kerins left his home in St Louis about a week ago to come to this city to go on duty at Bepublican headquarters. 'He was muoh needed there. Mr. Kerins also incident ally intended to meet his son Ernest, who is a passenger on the Hamburg-American steamship Normannia. Chairman Carter yesterday morning early received a telegram at his apartments at the Plaza Hotel which read as follows: "I am on board the Normannia. " This was signed by E. C. Kerins. Mr. Carter could not un derstand it. He could not realize that Mr. Kerins had gone to Europe and returned so soon, and he began to' telegraph to 'St Louis. Replies from there said that Mr. Kerins had left that city for New York several days ago. "The only way I can explain it," said Mr. Carter last night, "is that Mr. Kerins came here, got a tun. and bv some means got aboard the steamer. It is likelv that he did not have influence enough to get off and there he.is. He is quarantined? "We want him at headquarters." He Says tbe Symptoms ot Bis Patients Are Those of Asiatic Cholera. New Yobk, Sept C Dr. Byron went into voluntary exile yesterday to remain for no one knows how long in the pest hos pitals at Swinburne Island. He is the scientist and, bacteriological expert and lecturer at the Lootois Laboratory. He will be forced to quarantine himself as strictly as any of his patients are quarantined. 'The symptoms of'the patients are those of Asiatic cholera," said Dr. Byron.

Health Officer Jenkins returned from his afternoon tour among the plague snips and the quarantine islands about 5 o'clock in the evening. At that time he declined to be interviewed, pleading ex treme weariness as the reason. Alter a rest and dinner he reappeared at the office at 8 and told his story to the newspaper men. The first ship he visited was the Nor mannia. He had over 400 letters for the passengers, which he delivered to the purser. The surgeon reported to him that one death occurred in the preceding 24 hours, and that new cases had appeared. These were U among the crew.

The Corps or a Mnrdered Johnstown Man Found In the Same Spot In Which His Parent ITas Killed The Besult or a Flcnt. JohnstoWK, Sept B. Special Jacob "W. Bose, a farmer, was found dead yester day morning on the roadside near his home ten miles from this city, and now it is cer tain he was murdered. On the side of hie head is a large hole as if made by some blunt instrument, and the body was badly swollen, showing that he bad been dead for some time, although he was seen Saturday. On that evening Bose and Oliver Eoberts. of this city, had a quarrel which ended in a fight, Oliver getting the worst of it This put Oliver In a murderous mood. He snatched up a large stone and threw it at Bose with deadly aim, the stone striking the latter on the head, the wound which no doubt caused his death. Bose, binding the wound with a handker chief, started for the house. This was the last seen or heard of him until his body was found yesterday morning. Oliver Eoberts must have known that the wound was a dangerous one, as he immediately escaped to the woods and all traces of him has been lost People have passed the place where the body of Bose was found sine then, but it was so hidden by the bushes that it could not be seen from the main road. A singular coincidence is that a few years ago a murder almost similar to that of Sat urday occurred at the very spot where the body of Bose was found, the victim being the aged father of Bose, who lost his life at the hands of a neighbor. They quarreled and the man struck old man Bose over the head with a board, from which be died a short time alter. The authorities think that Oliver will be caught in the vicinity of his home. DANIEL DOUGHERTY DEAD. tenctix TXLEOBJUt TO MB DISPAtCn.1 New Yobk, Sept C The crematory on Swinburne Island, where the bodies of the cholera victims are burned, was built in 1889 by the Quarantine Commissioners under the act of 1888 appropriating $20,000 for its erection. It is a small brick build ing with a retort constructed within it where the bodies are reduced to ashes. The total cost of construction waa $15,000, and $5,000 was returned into tbe State Treasury. The retort itself was built by a Pennsylvania at a cost of f5.200. A mortuary vault, which will hold 32 bodies, adjoins it Under the law all - bodies which come to the island for cremation must be held for 24 hours, and if the friends of the dead desire to obtain possession of them they must notify the health authorities be fore this period has expired. buch bodies will be embalmed and placed in the mortuary and kept there until all danger from infection or contagion is passed. In the past two years nine bodies have been cremated at Swinburne Island. They were all cases of yellow fever, chagres fever or intermittent fever, and were pas sengers or members of crews who had died on board ships coming from Southern ports. Superintendent John Butler, who iBitt charge at Swinburne Island, has kept the furnaces going ever since the Moravia arrived in port, and as many bodies have been burned in the last two days as were incinerated in the two years previous. The bodies of the cholera victims are wrapped in sheets soaked with bi-chloride of mercury when they are removed from the ships to protect the men who handle them from infection. At the crematory, when Superintendent Butler is ready, another sheet soaked in alum is wrapped about the corpse, which is then laid on an iron tray. "When the retort has reached a tempera ture of about 600 the door is hurriedly opened and the tray shoved in. The alum checks combustion long enough for the attendants to close the door. It takes between two and three hours to reduce the body to ashes. The retort can only hold one tray, Jiui-one of the two in use at the crematory i3 g0 large that the body of a grown person and a child can be placed in it and burned together. So far, Superintendent Butler has been able to dispose of all the bodies brought from the ships without difficulty. Now. Ides In the Testimony That Mrs. -Marshall and DnUjhter Can Give Their Story, and Why They Haven't Told It Before, Tatjntow, Mass., Sept 5. ISpteial' Mrs. Marshall and her daughter will be most important witnesses for the defense if Lizzie Borden is ever brought to trial for the murder of her parents. She laid to-day and her daughter corroborated her statement that on the morning of the tragedy she and her daugh ter drove down to Third street shortly after 11 "o'clock and saw a villainous-looking man jump over the Borden's back fence, hurry through to Dr. Chagnon s yard, jump into a buggy that was in waiting and drive away. Of course they paid no attention to it at the time, but half an hour later thev drove tnrougn tsecona street and saw a crowd in front of the house and heard that a murder had been committed. Before any suspicion had rested on Lizzie Borden Mrs. Marshall had told friends about the man she had seen jump over the Bordens' back fence. Mrs. Marshall is a woman of unquestioned veracity, and her daughter's words have equal weight She was asked to-night why she had not appeared at the pre liminary hearing in the case, and her deep mourning, , together with the statement that she had just buried her husband, was a sufficient explanation of her ignorance of the course events had taken. She did not know how important her testimony would have been at the hearing. The police at Fall Elver were informed of tbe nature of Mrs. 'Marshall's evidence a few days ago, but they apparently ignored the clue wnioh she gave them and intimated that it was from an unreliable source. Mrs. Marshall will, however, be able to sustain her reputation for truth, if it is required. This is the most important clue ontside the Borden house which has yet been found.

AN ASSASSIN FOILED. Detroit Agog Over a SensattonM Attempt to Murder A Presbyterla. Minister's Close Call He Refused j, Man Money and Barely Escaped a Eallet. Detroit, Bept 5. One of the most sen sational attempts at murder, with robbery as ah incentive, that has ever taken place in this city occurred this evening at the resi dence of Eev. David M.

After an interval of five minutes the family were startled by hearing a struggle and cries of murder, mingled with entreaties for help. Frank P. Boughton, who was in the house, rushed to Mr. Cooner's assistance and found him struggling desperately with the stranger, who was trying to use a revolver which he had in his right hand. Wilkinson fired the revolver once, the bnll grazing one of Mr. Cooper's fingers and narrowly missing his bead. After a fierce struggle tbe desperate robber was pinned to the wall by his two adversaries and held there for 20 minutes until tbe police arrived and took him to the station. There he gave his name as Wilkinson, but refusedto make any other statement When Mr. Cooper had regained his com. posure alter tne desperate struggle, be stated that Wilkinson had demanded a sum of money from him, which, being refused, caused the stranger taattackhim as related.

President Har rison's letter of acceptance of the reaoml nation for the office he holds was given out for publication this evening. It is dated September 3. when the President left it here to be given out to-day, and is'as fol lows: Hon. WlUUm McKlnley, Jr., and otters, Com mittee, etc.. Gentlemeni I now avail myself of the first period of relief from public duties to respond to the notification which you brought to me on June 20, of my nomina tion for the office of President of the United States by the Bepnblican National Convention recently held at Minneapolis. I accept the nomination, and am grateful for the approval expressed by the con vention of the acts of the administration. I have endeavored, without wavering or weariness, so far as the direction of public afiairs was committed to me, to carry out tbe pledges made to the people in 1883. If the policies of the administration have not been distinctively and progressively American and Bepublican policies, the fault has not been in tbe purpose but in the, execution. I shall speak frankly of the legislation of Congress and Of the work of the Executive departments, for the credit of any successes that have been attained is in such measure due to others Senators and Bepresenta tives, as to the efficient heads of the several Executive Departments that I may do so without Impropriety. A vote of want of confidence is asked by our adversaries, and this challenge to a review of what has been done we promptly and gladly accept Serious Besults of a Change of Policy. The great work of the Fifty-first Congress has been subjected to the revision of a Democratic House of Bepresentatives, and the acts of the Executive Department to its scrutiny and investigation. A Democratio national administration was succeeded by a Bepublican administration, and the fresh ness of the events gives unusual facilities for fair comnarison and judgment There has seldom been a time, I think, when a change from the declared policies of the Bepublican to the 'declared policies of the Democratic party involved such serious re- suits to tbe business interests of- the coun try. A brief review of what has been done and of what the Democratio party proposes to undo will justify this opinion. The Bupublican party, during the Civil War, devised a national currency,consisting of United States notes, issued and re deemable by the Government, and of national bank notes, based upon the security of United States bonds. A tax was levied upon the Issues of Stale banks and the in tended result, that all such issues should be withdrawn, was realized. There are men among us now who never saw a mate bans: note. Solidity of Our National Currency. The notes furnished directly or indirectly by the United States have been the only and the safe and acceptable paper currency of the people. Bank failures have brought too fright, delay or loss to the bill holders. The note of an insolvent bank is as good and as current as a Treasury note for the credit of the United States is behind it Our money is all national money I might almost say international, for these bills are not only equally and indiscriminately accepted at par in all the States, but in some foreign countries. The Democratic party, if entrusted with the control ot the Government, is now pledged to repeal tbe tax on State bank is sues, with a view to putting into circula tion again under such diverse legislation as the States may adopt a flood of local bank issues. Only those who. in the years be fore the war, experienced the inconven ience and losses attendant upon tbe use of such money can appreciate what a return to that system involves. The denomina tion of a bill was then often no Indication of its value. The bank detector of yesterday was not a safe guide to-day as to credit or values. Merchants deposited several times during the day lest the hour of bank closing should show a deprecia tion of tbe money taken in the morning. The traveler could not use in a journey to the East the issues of the most solvent banks of the Westj and in conse quence a money changer's office was the familiar neighbor of the ticket office and th lunch connter. The farmer and the laborer found the money received for their products or their labor depreciated when they came to make their purchases, and the whole business of the country was hlnaerea and.burdened. Changes may become neces sary, but a national system of currency safe and acceptable throughout the whole country Is the good fruit of bitter expe riences, and I am Sure our people will not consent to the reactionary proposal made by the Democratic party. subjects, iT& lieuea.-iaorc uueu ? sion or excited more general interest than that of a recovery by the United States of its appropriate share of the ocean-carrying trade. This subject touches not only our pockets, but our national pride. Practically all the freights for the transporting to Europe the enormous annual supplies of provisions furnished by this country and for the large return of manufactured pro ducts have for many years been paid to foreign ship owners. Thousands of immi grants annually seeking homes under our flag have been denied the sight of it until they entered Sandy Hook, while increasing thousands of American citizens, bent on European travel, have each year stepped in to a foreign jurisdiction at New York docks. The merchandise balance of trade, which the Treasury books show, is largely reduced by the annual tribute which we pay for freight and passage moneys. The great ships the fastest upon the sea which are now in peace profiting by our trade, are, iir a secondary sense, warships of their respect ive governments, and in the event of war would, under existing contracts with their Governments, speedily take on the guns for which their decks are already prepared, and enter with terrible efficiency upon the work of destroying our commerce. The undisputed fact is that the great steamship' lines of Europe were built up and are now in part sustained by direct or indirect Government aid the latter taking the form of liberal pay for carrying the mails or of an. annual bonus given in consid eration of agreements to construct ships so as to adapt them for carrying an armament and to turn them over to the Government on demand, upon speoified terms. Stars and Stripes Soon to Be Afloat. It was plain to every intelligent Ameri can that if the United Spates would have such lines a similar policy must be entered upon. The Fifty-first Congress enacted such a law, and under its beneficent influ ence 16 American steamsbips,ot an aggre gate tonnage ot 57,400 tons, and costing $7,400,000, have been built or contracted to be built in American shipyards. In addi tion to this, it is now practically certain that we shall soon have, under the Ameri can flag, one of the finest steamship lines sailing out of New York for any European port Thi s contract will result in the con siruction in American yards of four new passenger steamships, of 10,000 tons each. costing about $8,000,000, and will add to our naval reserve six steamships, the fastest upon the sea. A special interest has been iaken by me in the establishment of lines from our South Atlantic and Gulf ports, and, though my expectations have not yet been real ized, attention has been called to the ad. vantages possessed by these ports, and when their people are more fully alive to their interests I do not donbt that they will be able to secure the capital needed to en able them to profit by their great natural advantages. A Feature of the Bepublican Party Alone. The Demoeratic party has found no place in its platform for any reference to this sub- ject, and has shown Its hostility to tbe gen eral policy by refusing to expend an appro priation made during the last administra tion for ocean mall contracts with American lines. That part of the people, workmen in our shops, the capitalists seeking new en- . terprises, must decide whether the great ships owned by Americans which have sought American registry shall again humbly ask a place in the English naval reserve the great ships now on the design ers' tables go ' to foreign shipyards for con struction and the United States lose the now brightening opportunity of reooveringi a piaca commensurate wiiu its wealth, the skill of its constructors and the courage of its sailors in the carrying trade of all the seas. Another related measure, as furnishing an increased ocean traffio for our ships and of great and permanent benefit to the farmers and manufacturers as well, is the reciprocity policy declared by section 3 of the tariff act of 1890, and now in practical operation with five of the nation of Central and South America, San Domingo, the Spanish and British West India Islands, and with Germany, and Austria, under sue. cial trade arrangements with each. The removal of the duty on sugar and the continuance of coffee and tea upon the free list, while giving great relief to our own people by cheapening articles used Increase ingly in every houithold, was also of such enormous advantage to the countries ex. porting these articles at to suggest that In, consideration thereof, reoiproeal factor should be shown in their tariffs to articles exported by us to their market. Mr. ttUlne-iCreaited With Reciprocity. Great credit is due to Mr. Blaine for the ' vfcor with which he pressed this view upon the country. We have-only begun to real ize the benefit of these trade arrangements. The work of creating new agencies and of adapting our goods to new market ha necessarily taken time, but the results al ready attained are suob, I am sure, a to establish in popular favor the polioy of re ciprocal trade, based upon tba free Importa tion of such articles as do not injuriously .compete with the products ot our owb farm.
