Thus do the lortuncs of pugilistic war change. A Sullivan Iteneflt Is Proposed. A benefit to Sullivan is being projected, the design being to have it in Iew York. Corbett has heard of the project and has offered 51,000 for a box. The sky,, like Sullivan's fame, has to-day became clouded. It is the first Bunless day since the devotees of pugilism bore down ucon the city. The exodus of the talent from town has begun that is, those who are yet solvent are getting away. There are many, how evtr, who will be forced to wait financial recuperation. Some, indeed, will be obliged to tramp the railway ties. The fact that there are not more of the financially reduced is owing to the absence of Corbett money before the fight. There was only a comparatively small wad of it, all told, and wnere there was a bit ot Uor bett's green stuS uncovered the Sullivan men flocked after it like chickens for a kernel of corn. There was not enough to go around, and to-day there are hundreds of Sullivan men who thank heaven there was not. The Sullivan contingent take their medicine like little men, however, and no kicking is heard. PLUNGERS IS DESPAIR. The Only Thin; That Saved Complete Bank ruptcy for the Sullivan Crowd Was the Absence of Corbett Money McAuliiXe Sav-d by a rrlnd. Jvet Orixjuts, Sept 8. Many people observed the livid appearance of Jack Mc Aulifie as he stood in Sullivan's corner and saw the champion of old. Jack was as white as a sheet, and looked more like a marble statue. Hethoughttherewasno man with compare to Sullivan, and he did not hesitate to back him with all the money he had. So he gave Dick Koche his check for 18,250, all of which he requested Boche to place on Sullivan. He was so confident that he even went so far as to borrow $5,000, and put that up himself against 52,300. Consequently Jack was more than anxious when he saw how the tide was flowing. It was hope against faith, and each ronnd brought the dreaded reality to his vision. He was worked almost into a frenzy by the time the knockout occurred. Jack felt that be had lost everything on earth, and that it was simply a case of going back and be ginning life over again. A millstone was removed from his heart, however, when he ascertained from Dick Boche that his 18,250 still remained in the bank, as the long-headed Boche knew more about the uncertainties of plunging than his young friend. A Bird In the Hand Worth Two Oat. So he quietlv held back the check and put $300 or $400 on Sullivan for Jack, say ing that there was no such odds betneen the two men and that a bird in the hand was worth two in the bush. Boche did not bet 1 himself,although he won over 510.000 on McAulifie whipping Myer and lost a small amount on Skelly. He liked Sulli van, but is too old a gambler to be tempted to give away such odds. The biggest loser of the day, so far as can be ascertained, was smiling John Kelly, of Kew York, the ex-baseball umpire, who backed the great champion of champions for 521,000 an amount that would carry an ordinary man through life very com fortably. John felt the loss greatly, but it did not break his face in the least, as the same old smile lighted up his countenance when he said with a sigh, "I will have to commence all over again." He was not jovial over the situation, but took it in a sensible manner and said a fellow in the betting business is liable to get it in the neck at any minute, and often when he thinks he has the biggest chances of win ning, or, as the sports say, "has a cinch." A Irct.li Dude frport Trom ew York. One of the heavy betting members of the Manhattan Athletic Club, of Sew York City, who bet on a "dead sure thing," created no little amusement by going into the poolroom about 6 o'clock last night and asking them if they woul'd kindly cash his ticket for him, as he was going home at 2 A. M. on the Manhattan special train, and would not be able to remain over until morning to get his money. There was a suppressed giggle and a broad grin on every body's face. The gentleman had put up 550 to 516 50, and he was very anxious to get ms coo ou. jjig --.Diamond um .Brady was one of the bystanders, and he helped the heavy betting Kew York dude out of his predicament by offering to cash his ticket "Tliank you," safd the clnb man, as he handed his ticket to the genial Brady. The latter smiled pleasantly and steeped back, saving, "After the fight it you please." He had to promise that he would surely be on hand at the moment the fight was over. Bradv kept his word, but the swell Man hattan must have lost his way, as he bad not returned up to the time the special left for Hew York. Money Waited tn Useless Fireworks. If there was ever a crestfallen crowd of sporting people it was the Manhattan Clnb contingent ot Xew York. They came here full of enthusiasm for Sullivan and staked their money on the issue. They came on a special train and counted on making it the binner train from Kew Orleans to 2few York, and, as Mr. Blake, of the Manhattan Athletic Club, wjo was in charge of the party, claimed yesterday afternoon, they had bought up all the red, white and blue lights to be found in New Orleans, and they intended setting them off all along the road on their way home. They were simply going to take the whole country by storm. Mr. Sullivan did not win, and it is fair to presume this celebrated display of fire works did not take place and that the Man hattan contingent will hold their bountiful supply over until July 4, 1893, or quietly sell the stuffat a discount to some second hand dealer. Arthur B. Conway, representing a roll of 53,000 for some Saratoga "man to be bet on Corbett, only got up 51,200 at 3 to L He could have placed the whole 53,000, but a halt was called on him until lurther notice. Ihe expected word did not come, and Con way is lretting more over what he could have done than two-thirds of the men who lost their bottom dollar on Sully. Betting Without the Capital. There was considerable talk last night of a serious nature regarding the stake money on the Sullivan end of the string. It was ' said by some very prominent sporting men that while Charley Johnson and Jimmy "Wakely got credit for being the backers of Sullivan, there is good ground for the be lief that neither one of them had a dollar up in the stakes, hut that the whole 510,000 had been put up by Percy Bockwell. who has since died, and there was a possibility of no estate and that the stakeholders will be sued for the recovery of the money. Paron Davies, who won a large amount of money on Corbett, will issue a challenge in a few days in behalf of Peter Jackson to fijrht Jim Corbett for a stake,such as he will then name or that can be agreed upon and the largest purse offered. ' HAPPY MRS. CORBETT Finds It In Iter Heart to Commiserate. Poor Mr. Sn'livan, as She Calls Dim. Newt York, Sept a Mrs. James J. Corbett, wife of the new champion pugilist of the world, waa up with the sun this morning, eager to get the morning papers and read the aocounts ot her husband's victory. She did not take time to put on her reception costume, but, clad in a pretty light blue -wrapper, fixed herself comfort ably and read all about it Not a comma, quotation mark, letter or syllable escaped her notice. , "Wasn't that nice of Mr. Sullivan to say what he did?" she asked, and then, woman like, she proceeded to commiserate with "Mr. Sullivan." Mrs. Corbett showed the reporter the fol lowing telegram received this morning, which would tend to show that her distin guished husband is in a merry mood down in the Crescent City: Clioer up. Cherries are ripe. Will be home Sunday evening. "Tne expression, 'Cherries are ripe, Is a favonte one ot Jim's when he is feeling pretty good," said the pugilist's better halt "I should judge from it that he and his friends are enjoving themselves this morn ing, and are a little mixed." Mrs. Corbett was ignorant of what Mr. Corbett's movements would be on his re turn. THE HERO OF THE HOUR. Corbett Has No Lack of Worshipers Now He Starts Oat Klchtx by Befaslnc to Drink H Will Rejoin Ills Theatrical Troupe t Once. New Orleans, Sept 8. After the fight last night Corbett and his party entered carriages at the door of the Olympic Club in the midst of a perfect ovation, and in company with representatives of the South ern Athletic Club, drove to the uptown cymnasinm, where there was an enthusiastic crowd of clnb members and guests number ing close to 2,000. Corbett was taken into the immense hall of the club and wildly cheered. At one end of the hall there was an immense photo graph of the new champion. .Corbett re sponded to the ovation and made a modest speech. "I started my career in the Southern Ath letic Club, gentlemen," he said, "when I was scarcely known here, and now I have got to the top of the ladder. Your courtesy and attention have been sincerely appreci ated, and I am profoundly grateful lor them; so I thank you all from the bot tom of my heart Wherever I may be I shall always remember your kind ness, and you will always have my very best wishes. I know I can never repay you for what yon have been so kind as to do for me." The ICew Champion Refuses to Drink. There was wild cheering when the cham pion concluded, and then the members of the club gathered around the handsome young fighter and shook ms hand till it was sore. At the conclusion of the informal cere mony at the club Corbett went in triumph to his room at J. J. Kuhner's, and there opened the telegrams that began to ponr in from all parts of the country. Then the champagne corks began to pop and the health of the new luminary saa quaffed in flowing bumpers. Corbett himself declined to drink. He said he did not want to be like other pugilists; that milk is good enough for him. The party remained ud until 1 o'clock. Then the visitors with drew and Corbett went to bed. His rest last night was refreshing, and he awoke this morning feeling as hapDV as a lark. When he got up a splendid break fast was awaiting him, and he sat down and relished it with the vigor of a winner. Dur ing the morning, with big Billy Delanev, he walked over to the Southern Athletio Clnb and was overwhelmed with congratu lations of his friends. The champion re mained at the club tor some time, and his handsome face was a burst of sunshine to those around him. lie Gives Tils Adversary His Dne. In a clear, lecible hand he wrote inter esting letters to his wife and parents, and in them he gave' a report of the battle of his life. When he had time to chat with a newspaper man who called on him, he said he felt better than ever before in his past 24 years. He was surprised at the result, because he knew when he went jnto the ring that the big fellow was not equal in skill or endurance. He was ready, how ever, to accord Sullivan all the credit that was due the ex-champion for his fair contest and his manly bearing. Corbett will here join the traveling troupe with which he has been exhibiting himself, and to-night there will be a performance in one ot the city theaters. The check of the Olympic Club for 545,000 wilj at this affair be handed to Corbett upon the stage. Corbett this morning was exuberantly merry as telegrams in numbers came in upon him, all congratulating him upon his vic tory. Members of the athletic clubs of the city called upon him, and many of the talent who yesterday absorbed Sullivan's breath as they would a sweetness, were to day "How-de-do Jim," as if he had been their divinity always. It was a sharp com mentary upon lame the young champion of to-day amid flowers, while thje disfigured and swollen champion of vesterday lav al most alone in his disordered apartments. SULLIVAN GOING HOME. In a Facetious Mood on Ills Way to the Car, but Maudlin and Drowsy Within A Few Admirers Cheer Him and Shako His Hand. NewOblbans, Sept 8. Sullivan was kept in seclusion at the Gymnastic Club until about 5 o'clock, when he was carried in a cab to his hotel. Arrangements have been made for the homeward journey. The Pullman sleeper "Galena" had been char tered by the Sullivan party and others who were going in the same direction. The car was placed in the regular Queen. and Cres cent express, due to leave here at 8:20 p. 31. At 7:45 this evening the Sullivan party took carriages at their hotel and started lor the depot, which is two or three miles away from the heart of the city. At 8:15 Sulli van, in his dark cutaway suit and with his battered face shadowed by the rim of a derby hat, entered the car Galena, which had one stateroom. This was allotted to Sullivan, and Charlie Johnson and the others filled the berths outside. Tne lallen champion had a cigar between his battered lips as he passed through the car. He walked fairly steady, and, being in a jocular mood, thumped a dent in Dan Murphy's handsome straw hat with a stroke from an umbrella which he carried. Sulli van proceeded at once to his stateroom. The window by his side was open, and 60 persons were gathered on the platform out side to stare. TLey saw a swollen and distorted face. The eyes were going shut with the drowsi ness of indulgence. They saw b's chin dip and drop upon his great chest Then they saw Charlie Johnson enter the state room and spank Sullivan's cheek with a resounding .spat of his open hand. "Wake up and have some style about you," said Johnson. But the big fellow only lifted his hcadTor a momenand his. eyes blankly stared up at Johnson for an" instant and then fell again into drowsiness. But a cheer had gone up lrom those outside tbe window, on the side of which Sullivan's terrible right hand hung limp. Some of tbe outsiders seized and shook it, and the ex-champion was aroused again by this per formance. "See there," cried Johnson, "you've got as many friends as you ever bad." But the defeated and maudlin man bv the window b scarcely heard. With a troubled sort of gesture,ne passed ms nana over his battered face and then subsided again. A War monc: Women.

OFFICERS SAW THE AFFAIR And the Militia Looked on Their Hillside Camp. From ALL WERE POWERLESS TO ACTi Deputy Sheriff Gray to Investigate Conduct of His Staff. the ALL HANDS CONDEMN THE 0DTEAGE A repetition of the gauntlet run of the caplnred Pinkertons on July 6 occurred in Homestead about suppertime last evening. One hundred and twenty-seven men, under the guard of coal and iron policemen, were beaten, tripped and had packages of pepper thrown at them while walking between the mills and the restaurants in town. The entire affair occurred within full sight of the deputy1 sheriffs, who took no action whatever, notwithstanding an order issued by Chief Deputy Gray in the morn ing to arrest any man, woman or child who did not preserve the peace. As a result the Sheriff ol Allegheny county, his chief deputy and his other deputies were severely scored by tbe coal and iron police, the Car negie officials and the military and even a member ot the Advisory Board denounced the affair as outrageous. After the dismissal of the public schools, a crowd of small boys ranging from 6 to 14 years of age appeared on Eighth avenue near the Advisory Board headquarters. All were armed with long laths having pointed ends or with short heavy sticks. IV num ber of little girls played about the yard of a striker's family wUh tin pans, cans and bells. As the hour grew later some 200 strikers of all nationalities drew near and by 6 o'clock were ranged in a desultory liue along both sides of the street They made no demonstration beyond calling some of the children for a moment or so. Some of the strikers' wives living in the vicinity augmented the force but everything was seemingly left to tbe children. Children Do the Work. A few moments after 6 o'clock the first delegation of mill men, numbering about 25. came down the long board walk with a coal and iron policeman at the head. As soon as they came in sight the children began hooting, yelling and screaming as they danced up and down. The girls be gan beating their cans, ringing their bells and yelling. Some of the boys ran to a narrow board walk in front of a striker's home and pulled up the loosened boards. Some they removed entirely and others they tilted in such a manner that a person would be tripped in stepping upon it The men sat still, paying but little attention to what was going on, while the women watched them. The deputy sheriffs stood a short distance away, and, although watch ing, they paid no attention to the evident intentions of the children. As the workmen came nearer the hoot ings became louder and unpleasant epi thets were flung at them by the youngsters. When between the lines the men were at tacked by tbe boys, who threw battered tin cans at them, trippetl them up with their sticks, belabored them on the backs and legs 'and called them harsh names. Officers Paw the Outrage. The deputies lookett on meanwhile with out making a move while Major Crawford with Captain Mertz and the other officers and privates at the provost marshal's head quarters looked on from the hillside. The military were powerless to act on account of the law which forbids their interference until the civil authorities fail. From then on until the meu had finished supper the same ordor of things prevailed. In all some 127 non-union men passed through the same thing. Later on, as darkness fell, the small boys were dis placed by larger ones, who circulated throughout the entire town, tripped people up and threw packages of pepper at strangers. The young, and old women began insnlting pedestrians' and all who passed received more or less abuse. Tne workmen were pale and nervous as they ate their supper and returned to their more seeure mill quarters. Chairman Crawford denouncd the affair as outrageous. He said he would nse every endeavor to quell all such conduct Colonel Gray, chief deputy sheriff, said he would investigate his deputies inaction, as he had issued an order to them to arrest without compudction any man, woman or child who acted in a disorderly manner. When first told of the happening by a DIS PATCH reporter a short time after it oc curred Colonel Gray said his deputies might have been at supper. Colonel Gray Will Investigate. "But some of them saw the whole af fair," was suggested. "Well, then, I shall investigate the mat ter," said the Colonel, as he turned over on his couch 'Haven't the deputies the power to ar rest all persons acting in a riotous man ner?" ' "They have, as I issued an order this morning to arrest anyone who did not pre serve the peace," and the chief deputy walked out on the porch to enjoy tbe even ing air. At military headquarters the affair was excitedly discussed. Colonel Curtin de nounced the Sheriff of Allegheny county, his chief deputy and his other deputies as weaklings, and said the affair warranted most vigorous action. The other officers coincided with the Major and the Sheriff and his staff came in for a scorching. Dur ing this time Colonel Gray was on the porch, quite out of hearing, Superintendent Potter said the experi ence of the men was thrilling. He also scored the Sherifi and deputies. Thc,Chief of the Coal and Iron Police force said his men were not autborized to act in any ca pacity but that of guards. Major Crawford and Captain Mertz, both of whom saw the happenings, were vigorous in their language. "If alked to one ot the deputies," said the .Major, "and was informed that he was unauthor ized to follow men to their suppers." The affair created considerable talk and the mili tiamen at the provost marshal's headquar ters were on the qui vive all evening await ing a more serious outbreak. The Harmony Brpken. All is notharmonious within the ranks of the strikers, as was evidenced vesterday afternoon. Paul Oldshue, a handsome, in telligent Hungarian, was quoted as saying he had made arrangements tor the return of all the Huns and Slavs.' He made a trip through the mill on inspection, as he ttrmed it, and on this action was founded the story. The strikers of both the foreign and native element denied Oldshue the power to influence the foreigners. Oldshue was seen Wednesday night at his hillside home in Hunhall Hollow, He denied the interview imputed to him and said he did not want to go back 'to work or induce anyone else to go back, This ad I briefly published yesterday i morning, but DISPATCH. JUIDAT. SEPTEMBER 9, 189a the men desired a more complete statement Yesterday Oldshue began thisstatement He had taken the reporters far away from the crowd of his fellow countrymen and talked in the Postal Telegraph office. The room was Boon filled with strikers, both prominent and less known. Several members of the Advisory Board were pres ent and listened intently to the words of the handsome Hun. Oldshue explained about being taken into the mill on the in vitation of an under official. "I did not want to go to work, and was told by Superintendent Potter my old job was gone," said Oldshue. "How about the work in there?" Inter rupted one of the strikers. it Damaging Confession. "Well," slowly answered Oldshue, "the work is getting along nicely. "They are making good steel," responded Oldshue sullenly, "but I" x , ' "Oldshue you are a ." auicklvsaid one of the men. "Beporters," addressing the correspondents, "don't take that stuff. The man lies." Then Oldshue was quickly taken outside and was not allowed to go on with his statement John Dierkin, Councilman, Sanitary Com missioner and member of tbe Advisory Board, was arrested at the entrance to the uarncgie otnees yesterday afternoon by Con stable Pat Parrell after a fruitless search 1 for him for several days. The arrest oc curred in a peculiar way. Dierkin has been aware for some time that there has been a warrant out for his arrest, but refrained from giving himself up on the a 1 vice of his fellow citizens. Fan-ell did not know his man and bad diligently but vainly tried to place him. Yesterday Dierkin bearded the lion in his den, as it were, by call ing on Superintendent . Potter with one of the company's health inspectors, Dr. John Osborne, and Homestead borongh health commissioner, S. 7. -Gessner. Dr. Osborne wanted to make a four of inspec tion through the mills and the Homestead men wanted to officially aopompanv him, although the Carnegie plant is not'in the borough limits. They Wero Rrtused Admission. Dr. Osborne did not present his official credentials anil Treasurer Curry and Super intendent Potter refused all three admission to the mills. The callers sent in their names and when Potter saw that of Dierkin he sent for Farrell, who arrested the man for conspiracy. Superintendent Potter said last night that Matthew Crotty, a' former prominent member of the Amalgamated Association, had applied for and had been promised work at his old job in the mills. "He asured me," the Superintendent said, "that he be longed to the Amalgamated Association no longer, and said he needed w&k." SOME SICKNESS AT HOMESTEAD. Several Patients With Slight Disorders Taken to the Hospital. Four men were brought down to the West Penn Hospital from the mills" at Homestead yesterday afternoon for treat ment Dr. Elder, who attended them, says they are suffering with tbe same .complaint, choleraic diarrhoea, and none are in a serious condition. He was unable to give their names, and said that two, three, four, and sometimes five, patients came in with a slight attack of cholera morbus or other summer complaint, and that they kept no account of them. He said as 'yet they had received no serious cases from Homestead. Their Attorney Is Confident. W. J. Brennen, attorney for Hugh O'Don nel, Hugh Boss and Burgess McLuckie, states that while he is not at present aware of the whereabouts of his clients, it may be stated that there is no doubt ot their ap pearance when their cases- arc called in court PBINTIHQ IS EXPENSIVE. What One Alderman Bn to Fay for Sta tionery Each Tear. "You would be surprised at what it costs for printing and paper' in my office," said an Alderman last' evening. On being informed that the subject had never been given much thought, he continned: "Dur ing the past year I have paid $150 for printing alone, and it all been used in my office, may seem strange, but is nevertheless, and I can say that my nees has not been so large for some fully has This true busi- time pastas it was formerly. The printine of some Aldermen must amount to over 5200 to judge from the business they do. An other trouble is to keep the paper so as to suffer little loss from its being soiled after you have it in the office. I have to keep mine in clore boxes" and with thatTie pointed to a number piled on a shelf "but notwithstanding all this precaution I have to throwaway a great deal of paper each year, as I get it in large quantities and some is sure to become soiled." TBACED TO AKBON. Morris Solomon Accntrcl of Stealing 82,200 From Ills Employers. Morris Solomon, a clerk for Sampson & Werner, was arrested at Akron yesterday on the strength of a telegram sent from this city. The charge against Solomon is embezzlement and it is alleged that he fal sified accounts aud helped himself to $2,200 of the firm's money, and is believed to have spent it on women. Solomon's method of raising funds was to divide with the firm whatever was. paid into the office, and then give the person paying tbe money credit for only one-half the amount The police traced Solomon to Baltimore, Harrisourg, Scranton and finally located him at Akron. An officer will be sent to Akron to-day to bring the prisoner back. All WEBB IN THE CITY. The Sporting Element of the Southilde Anzlons to Henr Who Won. "Something happened fon the Southside last night that hasn't occurred for 20 years," said an old timer last evening, who has been in position to know all about that district from away back. "And it was simply this," he continued; "all the thugs, dead beats, sports and samblers on the Southside were in the city presumably to hear the bulletins on the Sullivan Corbett fight How do I know? Why, bless you, man, haven't I been here on the. bridge for the past 30 years and know all about it Such a stream of motley looking people as crossed the Smith field bridge last evening is hardly ever seen, but that .all happened less than 24 hours ago." .

Immense Quantities of Disinfectants Being . TJBed'Daily. HEATT DEATH RATE SHOWN LAST WEEK A big success was achieved yesterday by the scheme to lower the wickets at Davis Island and allow the stagnant, filthy water in the rivers to pass down the vallev. The steamboats employed by the city, the fire men flushing the sewers and the opening of Lock No. 1 by the Monongahela Navigation Company contributed largely to the success of the Bdneme. The "bear trap" gate at Davis Island dam was lowered at 9 o'clock, as per programme, but the effect was not observable at ihe Monongahela wharf nntil nearly 10 o'clock. In the meantime the ri"er steamers Vere busily engaged dredging the sewer mouths along the river front, scraping the riverbot tom near the shores and stirring up the black filth until the water resembled ink. At 10 o'clock the effect of opening the Davis Island dam was first noticed at Lock No. 1. Work was commenced at once in letting out some of the spare water in the No. 1 pool to create a current below. Ciirrylng Away the Filth. , A considerable surplus from Pool No. 2 had been run into No. 1 during the pre vious night When this volutno of water was liberated by the opening of the lower lock yesterday It created a good current below, which carried off the filth washed from the sewers and the river bottom, taking it down the river. One foot ot wnter passed from the pool above Lock No. 1 by 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the lock was closed. Ad the pool is 10 miles long with an average width of 750 feet, the amount of fresh water drawn from ic in four hours' time was 39,600,000 cubic feet, equal to 165,000 per minute, or somewhat more than four times the natural flow at its present staze. A noticeable increase in the current at Wood street was observed durintr the dis charge of the surplus from the Monongahela pool. A current of 33 feet per minute or more than one-third of a mile an hour was developed, the normal current at this season being only about one-ninth this speed, according to the calculations of Colonel T. P. Roberts. When the water from above the lock passed the Upper Southside the current was much swifter and rapidly washed away an immense accumula tion ot inky black matter emitting a putrid smell from the sewer mouths near the lock. Freshening the Dirty Elver. The Navigation Company employed 15 men for several hours assisting in the cleansing process, and their contribution of fully 300,000,000 gallons ot fresh water is thought to have materially assisted in wash ing down the river the matter stirred up by the dredge boats. The water around the city is to-day cleaner and curer than it has been for more than two months. Down at Davis Island Dam the effect of opening the wiokets was particularly noticeable. After the current began the water which passed over the dam was per fectly blatk, except on the surface where it was green. This condition lasted for four hours and during that time the employes were kept busy cleaning away the decaying, vegetable and animal matter which lodged against the wickets. During the six hours the beartrap was open the smell from the stufl passing through was something fear ful, showing the - necessity for passing off the water that had been detained above. No meeting of the Emergency Council was held yesterday morning, the Mayor, Chief Brown and other officials devoting the time to witnessing the cleaning process along the wharves. The Rnllroarfg Will Help,. Immigrant Inspector Layton vill make his report at the meeting this morning. He says the officials of all the railroads center ing in the city have signified their willing ness to carry out any instructions the city officers may issue. Superintendent Pitcairn of the Pennsylvania Bailroad suggested that a quarantine station could be located on that line near Coiiemaugu, where immi grants could be inspected, they and their baesage -fumigated, "and any among them suffering from sickness detained. Hospital tents, with physicians and all conveniences for treating the sick, could be provided there, and the danger ot introducing cholera into the city reduced to a minimum if tbe other lines followed the same system. All the railroads are sending in structions to employes along their lines to use disinfectants and clean with partic ular care all cars and stations in their care. The Baltimore and Ohio Company is giv ing the big depot in this city a thorough cleaning and fumigation and men arf en gaged in whitewashing the cellars. Only two immigrants arrived from Baltimore yesterday. Thev were Italians and the men eyed their baggage suspiciously and got rid of it as soon as possible. Immlcratlon Rapidly Fnlllnc; Off. The immigration business has fallen off greatly since the cholera scare. A piece of luggage marked "quarantined almost created a panic among the Lake Brie baggage smashers yesterday. It belonged to a for eigner, who had passed(inspection. Tne Public Works inspectors found a number of persons in the East End yester day who have failed to clean up as ordered, and suits will probably be entered to-day.
