tn mittinc the city in a good sanitarv con
dition. "Sow," he said, "we must' go &
Hen further. We must provide against
having the disease carried to us by rail
roads and steamboats. We have found the
railroads all willing to co-operate. But
there are two questions pressing upon us:
First, what power of quarantine rests in the
city that is, where can it draw its quaran
tine line? Second, where Is it wise to es
tablish hospitals for cholera patients?"
Dr. Lee replied that it would be impos
sible for the city to establish quarantine
larther away than the city line. The second
question gave rise to a general discussion.
It was agreed that it would be wise to es
tablish a cholera ward in a separate build
in? at the location of the present municipal
hospital, but that this would not be suffi
cient for the needs of the city. There must
be some place where persons attacked down
town or brought in bv the rail
roads or steamboats could be taken.
A floating hospital on one or
both of the rivers was proposed
but was strongly opposed bvDr. Baker, Dr.
lee and Dr. Probst, on the grounds that a
noaunc nospual might be best for Pitts
burg but Ohio and "West Virginia would
feel there was greater chance for the dis
ease to be sent along to them through the
Ohio river from such a floating hospital.
Mayor Gourley fully coincided with this
view. A full discussion changed the senti
ments of nearly all in favor of a hos
pital on shore, with the additional pre
caution thit the discharges ironi cholera
patients should, under no circumstances,
oven though thoroughly disinfected, be put
into the sewers, but should be burned in a
crematory provided bv the citv for the pur
pose. Arraigned the renngylvanln Legislature.
Crosby Gray made a stirring speech, ar
raigning the Pennsylvania Legislature tor
what he termed its criminal inactivity in
not having provided for meeting emergen
cies like the present one.
Thisinacticn," said he, "is not because
the Legislature has not been frequently and
urgently asked to give more attention to the
public health. The State and local Boards
of Health have many times called
Attention to this important matter. The
State Board should have charge of the
whole subject of quarantine and the man
ngeinent of the cholera in the State, if per
chance, it should get a foothold. Many im
portant questions of conflicting powers be
tween local authorities would be set en
tirely at rest if the State managed the mat
ter." There was considerable discussion on a
number of other questions raised, but no
definite action was taken on any except
one relating to the sewage from railroad
trains. Instead ot allowing this matter to
be distributed along the rails, as is now
the custom, the railroads will be asked to
provide disinfected receptacles to receive
it, the vessels to be emptied at the end of
each division and the contents iiurnei

NO SI0KEY PS0K THE STATE.
tlie Governor Drcllnrs to Frovide Funds to
Fight the Cholera.
Governor Pattison was interviewed at
Harrisburg by a Dispatch reporter last
evening and asked if he would negotiate a
loan lor the State Board of Health to light
cholera if it should break out in Pennsylva
nia. The Governor said he was unpre
pared to state what action he might take
Sn such event, but said the State
Board of Health had already proved its
efficiency, that it was actively engaged in
forcing proper regulations and that it was
not in need of financial aid. All it desired
was co-operation at the hands of local
boards and the municipal authorities of the
State in removing all things likely to gen
erate disease. The action of the authorities
of Berlin in introducing sanitary measures
as a precaution against cholera was cited to
show the good that cau be accomplished if
the proper course be taken to fight disease.
The Governor yesterday had mailed 5,000
copies of his late proclamation to local
boards of health and officers ot cities and
towns, urging them to co-operate with the
State Board of Health in introducing neces
sary sanitary regulations. It was the duty
of the various municipalities, he said, to
make financial provision for such work, and
if done there wonld k r... i;d i.nn

ALLEGHENY'S BAD WATER SUPPLY
It won't be the fault of the health
authorities of Ohio if the cholera gets into
that State. To begin with, the executive
officer of the health board. Dr. C O.
Probst, of Columbus, is a very active and
intelligent young man. He has back of
him Governor JIcKinley, who has pledged
every dollar in the State Treasury to assist
in the work of fighting the scourge should
it appear within Ohio's borders.
As soon as the disease was heard of in
Hew York Dr. Probst conceived a plan of
utilizing the military, if necessary, to en
force a strict quarantine on all the trunk
lines entering the State. He explained his
system at the Anderson yesterday at the
morning conference with the local and
State health officers.
"In Ohio," said the Doctor, "we have an
Emergency Board to appropriate money for
health purposes when needed. This board
has already advanced 510,000, and more can
be had.
Soldiers Ready to Move at Once.
"I suggested to Governor JfcTCinley if
the worst comes to the worst that a guard

iast Liverpool, East Palestine and Youngs
town for the Port Wayne; Latimer for the
Erie, Ashtabnla for the Xickel Plate and
Lake Shore; Conneaut and Toledo for the
lake ports. This would make ten railroad
stations.
TVI1I Quarantine All Immigrants.
"Shonld cholera ba reported in New
York at any moment, the soldiers and in
spectors would be located at these places.
All trains from the city would be quar
antined and possibly excluded. If the dis
ease was found among the passengers the
cases would be isolated and everybody held.
AH arrangements to fumigate baggage, eta,
have been made. In this way I think it
would be almost impossible for the disease
to get into Ohio. I should like to see
Pennsylvania adopt the same system. Your
military organization is superb, and plenty
of volunteers can be had among the boys.
Every town in Ohio having over 500 inhab
itants has a board of health, so that the
State is always well organized. These
boards act in conjunction with the State or
ganization. "But I have always contended that our
greatest danger comes from Canada. Re
cently Quebec issned an order excluding all
immigiants, and Ontario has agreed to fol
low the President s order of 20 days.
Men Watching the Luke Ports. ,
"Bather than take chances of the disease
reaching us from the Dominion, I have men
stationed at Toledo and Conneaut working
in connection with the Marine Hospital
service to watch all vessels landing passen
gers from Canada. So far we have not done
anything with the railroads, but have de
pended on the quarantine of the ports of
entry. Should I discover that the inspec
tions are done carelessly I will have a quar
antine ordered along the borders of Ohio.
"I am a little afraid of Baltimore. At
present we have a dozen Russian Hebrews
under guard at Toledo. Five ot them had
already reached Piqua, and I have men
watching their houses. They came in on
the Stutgart from Bremen, an infected port,
I found they had onlv been detained at
Baltimore 24 hours, and on inquiry learned
that the Government had held the vessel
two days at Port Charles. The ship ar
rived before the President's 20-day order
had been issned. Now here is a sample of
carelessness. I think the quarantine was
too short These people passed through
Pittsburg and got into Ohio.
M.T Quarantine Against Baltimore.
"We thoroughly disinfected them and all
their bacgage, and we will guard them un
til all possibility of danger is passed. If I
find the Baltimore officials are not doing
their work properly, we will order a quar
antine against all passengers coming :rom
that port.
"My idea is that all the railroad centers
should be watched, and no immigrant
should be allowed to pass unless he had a
quarantine certificate showing that his bag
gage had been fumigated and bow long he
had been held. I have had conferences
with the officials of railroads in Ohio, and
thev are willing to co-operate in every way
to keep out the cholera. I have recom
mended that certain special trains only be
used in carrying immigrants. The situ
ation is certainly serious, and every meas
ure of precaution should be taken.
"Pittsburg is an important point Two
trunk lines center here, and hospitals out
side of the city could be easily established.
In case of cholera on a train, all the pas
sengers should be removed immediately,and
tne patient and car detained at the hospital.
The baggage should be looked after.
Discussing Floating; Hospital.
"Dr. McClelland favors a floating hospital
on the rivers. Dr. Lee, Mayor Gourley,
myself and others oppose the scheme as
irauaht with too much danger to the people
living along the stream below, who would
be incensed against Pittsburg. Dr. Mc
Clelland thinks the garbage could be easily
provided for, but I am afraid of it There
should be a hospital somewhere outside of
the city on the Baltimore and Ohio and
Pennsylvania roads.
"The Pennsylvania State Health Board is
without funds, and a recommendation to
the Governor lor a loan of 550,000 to carry
out the work of precaution will be made.
In this respect the Ohio system of having
an emergency board to appropriate money
proves of immense value. "Ve don't have
to wait for the Legislature to make an ap
propriation." "WEST VD3GIHIA lb WIDE AWAKE,
Immigrants Failing Into the State Will Be
Close'ly Watched.
Dr. N. D. Baker, Secretary of the "West
Virginia Health Board, said the people of
his State were wide awake. A few days
ago the Governor issued a cholera procla
mation. The State Board intends to have

No precautions will be taken along the
Ohio river, as immigrants do not Come in
that way.

Dr. C. B. Dudley, the chemist of the
Pennsylvania road at Altoona, was present
at the conference for the Trunk line. In an
advisory way he has a great deal to do with
the sanitary regulations of the road. He
said the company was willing to help the
State Board of Health and the cities along
the line in every way possible. The ques
tion of hospitals for Pittsburg is still under
advisement, but will no doubt soon be set
tled, to-day or to-morrow. Dr. Dudley
said if it was decided to locate a hospital
somewhere in the country that the Pennsyl

The majority in the conference were op
posed to Dr."McClelland's plan of a floating
hospital for Pittsburg.
"The question has been asked," said Dr.
Dudley, "what the Pennsylvania road
would do if a case of cholera "suddenlv de
veloped on a train. If it was near Philadel
phia the patient would be taken to the mu

have no hospitals at Pittsburg, Altoona or

CALLING OK THE G0VSEHMEHT.
Want the Immigrants to Carry Clean Bills
of Health.
Another conference of the health officials
was held last night to discuss a form of
certificate of health which immigrants on
railroads passing through Pennsylvania,
Ohio, or West Virginia will be compelled
to carry.
Dr. N. D. Baker of "West Virginia, of
ferred the following resolution which was
adopted:
That the Secretary,Dr.Prohst,De instructed
to communicate with the Secretary of the
Treasury, uiglnjr him to have each immi
grant provided with a certificate of his in
spection made by tlie Marine Hospital ser
vice, snch certiflcnte to be recognized by tlie
State Boards of Health represented at this
conterence.
The resolution, Dr. Baker said, was not
meant to convey the idea that believed the
Xational authorities in any mantjer lax in
the requirements of the occasion, but the
co-operation of the Government officials
with the State authorities would be an as
surance to the people that every precaution
to prevent the cholera from coming here was
being rigidly looked aften Dr. Probst was
instructed to suggest to the Secretary of the
Treasury the following information re
quired as being essential to the matter by
the State Boards: The name and sex of the
immigrant; the port of departure and entry;
name of the vessel; duration of detention
under observation after exposure to cholera;
the destination and the name of the in
spector. Dr. Lee oflered this aesolutiou, which
was adopted:
That the conference suggest to the
several hoards here represented the ex
pediency of adopting an order lequlring
every immigrant to be furnished with a cer
tificate fioiu tne .Bureau of Immi
gration or the United States Hospital
service at his or her point of debarka
tion, and forbidding steamboat or
railroad companies to transport immigrants
into or through their respective States not
provided with such certificate. And further
tnat wnenever any board snail consider it
necessary to establish an inspection station
at the State line, the inspector shall be
nrovlded with a punch by whlcb sneu certi
ficate can be countersigned if he deems the
holder free fiom contagion.
ALLEGHEHi-'S WATEE SUPPLY
Largely
Impregnated With Filth
From
Thirteen Iirze Sewers.
Mayor Kennedy and Dr. Lee yesterday
forenoon visited the Allegheny water
works, and inspected the Allegheny river
from the Herr's Island bridge down. After
visiting the water works, wh ere the mayor
explained that the water was drawn through
an influent pipe from about the middle of
the river, the two gentlemen crossed by the
Herr's Island bridge to the Pittsburz side,
and visited the Thirtieth and Twenty
eighth street sewers. The latter carries
the sewage from the "West Penn hospital,
and was considered especially dangerous.
The Mayor said that there were, above the
waterworks, two sewers on the Allegheny
side and 11 on the Pittsburg side discharg
ing their filth into the stream.
After the trip Mayor Kennedy said: "I
expect that in a dav or tw o I will receive a
letter from Dr. Lee, giving his views on
our water supply, with suggestions as to
what should be done. Our water is in very
bad shape, not only for a cholera epidemic,
but at all times, it certainly ought to be
drawn from further up the river. To chance
it at the earliest time possible is one of our
most imperative duties. I knew how bad
affairs were, but Dr. 'Lee did not, and he
was certainly surpised. The State Board of
Health has large powers in emergencies,
and may give us orders which will compel
an immediate change in some manner.

From a Miner's Point of View.
The situation is best told by an Elizabeth
miner, Andy Hunt. Last night he said:1
"It is time that we, of the river dis
trict, are going on a strike. In the morn
ing not a pick will be lifted or a block of
coal mined. The fight is to be a bitter one,
and I think the miners are going to be vic
torious. Financially, we are in compara
tively good shape. Por the past few years
we have made a fair living. Some have
laid a little money aside. At S cents a
bushel the average miner makes $3 per day,
but not daily.
"The miner has things to contend with
that those outside of the business know
nothing of. At 3 cents a bushel, we could
not make a decent living. The cut is made,
the operators say, so as to make equal com
petition with the railroad operators. This
is untrue. "We all know that the river opera
tor can at present get his coal info the South
ern markets at lower rates than the pro
ducers in the railroad districts. Coal is a
good price now, and I think the reduction
was demanded at this time just to keep the
market high. You will not know that there
is a strike in the district until the fall rise
comes.
When the Battle Will Be-In.
"Then the battle commences. The oper
ators will try to mine coal and there will
be trouble, but I do not think serious
enough to bring the militia in. "We will
stand firm for our rights. There are over
80 mines in the district, and aside from the
miners there are about 25 men at each mine
who will be affected. Of the miners one-
half of them are organized. It is not the
kind of an organization it ought to be. The
river miners never were very much on or
ganization. In times of peace they drop
out of the union, but when trouble comes
they flock back. This they are doing'now.
Just what plans have been made I cannot
say. The miners have not had a meeting
yet, but I think a convention will be called
this week. The men will not accept the re
duction, and don't think the strike will
last over six weeks."
Captain O'Neill, who lives at Elizabeth,
and is a large operator, was asked about the
coming trouble. He refused to talk more
than to say that the operators would not
bring men in to take the places of the pres
ent miners. The fight would be one ot en
durance, he said. He wants the old men
to do the mining, but they must do it at 3
cents a bushel.
RETURNED TO HOMESTEAD.
Troops Tarn Oat to Brcelve the Klfln Team
A Is'on-Unlon Man Bustled and Hooted
Superintendent Potter Kxpocts a
Break False Alarms.
The two regiments of State troops on duty
at Homestead put on their gala dress yes
terday and turned out to welcome the rifle
team of the Sixteenth regiment, on its ar
rival from Sea Girt, N. J. The people of
the town, taken unawares, did not know
what it meant and turned out to learn the
cause. For a time there was a good deal of
excitement,as it was thought some new move
against the locked-out men was to be made.
The team, consisting of Inspector of Itifle
Practice Thomas Connelly, Lieutenant
Colonel Horton, Sergeant Major Chaplain,
Sergeant Gunny, Corporal Miller and
Privates Alberts and Wygropb, was placed
at the head of the troops and marched to
Camp Black. Speeches were made by
Colonel Hulingsand Captains Hall and Mc
Gunkin. The religious services in the mill at 10
o'clock were well attended. Bev. E. Bal
four, D. D., preached a sermon on the para
ble of the prodigal son, and, taking inci
dents from it, made practical applica
tion to the changed conditions of the pres
ent time.
One incident happened yesterday that
shows that the locked-out men are still de
termined in their present stand. A non
union man left the mill, and came to this
city Saturday evening. He returned yes
terday. When he got oil the train, he was
surrounded by the strikers, and was being
treated pretty roughly, when a deputy
came up. Tlie deputy started toward the
mill with his man, hut was hooted at and
abused by the women and children along
the way. He reached the mill without
further trouble. No arrests were made?
Superintendent Potter stated last even
ing that he bad been spoken to by five
prominent men in the Amalgamated Asso
ciation during the day about securing their
old positions should they return to work.
Some more were to Eee him last night He
also stated that he had. reliable information
that the Huns and Slavs were very uneasy
and were expected to make a break in a
short time.
Colonel Gray received information Friday
afternoon that an attempt would be made to
destroy some company property Saturday
night" The guards were doubled and strict
vigilance kept by all the guards. There
was no outbreak, however, and the night
passed off quietly.

no strikers there, nor did they gather at
their headquarters on Liberty street One
of the superintendents was about to see
that things were kept moving. He said
that very likely some other branch of the
iron department would start to-day.
At the Elba Iron Works on Second ave
nne many strikers were around the mills.
The furnaces are lighted now, and all prep
arations were made to start the works this
morning. The management does not expect
any trouble in getting the mills worKing.
They have a large force of men ready to go
to work, and have made preparations to
prevent any interference from'the striking
workm-sn.
HELD IN QUARANTINE.
Chief Blgolow Relates His Experience on
the Spree in New York Harbor No Pre
cautions Taken In Europe He Expects
Cholern -Will Come Here.
Chief Bigelow and wife and his brother-in-law,
Mr. Bubody, and wije, returned to
the city yesterday morning from their Eu
ropean trip of six weeks. They came on
the Spree, reached "Quarantine at New
Yorfc last Wednesday evening and were
held without being allowed to receive
newspapers or to have anTi;jSSJJ2isation
with the shore JtuPridav eveninir. No -

ere was no sickness aboard, until a Nevr
York reporter, risking a year's imprison
ment, went to the boat in a skiff late at
night, told those aboard of the cholera situ
ation and carried messages ashore from
them. Eleven other vessels, including
those having cholera aboard, were anchored
within hailing distance of the Spree. At
night when all the vessels were lighted up
Mr. Bigelow ssid it was the most beautiful
sight be had ever seen.
The'Wyoming was one of the vessels in
the group, and on Thursday she was ordered
to the lower quarantine." As she passed,
the Spree passengers, supposing she was re
leased from custody, set up a hearty cheer.
There was no response from the "Wyoming.
Those aboard the Spree then realized the
situation and as the Wyoming passed on
down the bay a general sadness prevailed,
many of the ladies being moved to tears.
Mr. Guttman, of West Virginia, who was
standing on the deck of the Spree, fell over
in a faint As the quarantine doctors were
expected at any moment, the other passen
gers fearing trouble if Guttman's condition
was seen, picked him up and hustled him
off to his cabin in a jiffy. v
"I spent three long days in Paris," said
Mr. Bigelow, "the longest of my life. I
knew the cholera was on the continent, but
notbeing able to read the papers there had
no idea whether it was in Paris or not One
day there I was seized with cholera morbus.
Fearing my case might be diagnosed as real
cholera and that I might be hustled oQ to a
cholera hospital I lay very low, not daring
to even call a doctor, untill was well again.
I want to tell you nothing is being done on
the other side to protect this country, and
if the cholera does not get here it will be
miraculous. Anybody can come. There is
a grand rush for the steamers. I could have
sold my return tickets and berths for double
their cost, either in France or England.
There is absolutely no quarantine against
the infected ports in England. You can go
where you please there. No questions are
asked of anyone."

CORA GARVBJ BURIED.
The Artist's Murdered Wife Laid to
Best in Allegheny Cemetery.
A BROTHER THE CHIEF MOURNER.
Sermon lj tho Minister Who Married Her
Five Days Eefore.
THE MURDERER SADLT BROKEN DOWN
The funeral of pretty Cora Garvin took
place at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
minister who married her to her young
artist lover on Tuesday last preached her
funeral sermon five days later.
Saturday evening the body of the unfor
tunate young woman was removed from the
Garvin home, in Avery street, Allegheny,
to the house of her uncle, Harry Eedpath,
in Clark street, Pittsburg. Before the coffin
was closed for the removal Prank's sister
kissed the dead face passionately manv
times. Her grief was aeonizinz. and it was
'n.ccessar3r forcibly to lead her away from
tnMLS&'
I T?It
Edward Kcfjpath arrived here from Chi
cago yesterday moHH0?- He is Cora s
eldest brother, and the oniy orfFfiiUhe fam.
ily who was able to come to attend the
funeral. "Until his arrival the time of
burial had not been fixed. He stopped at
the Central Hotel, and having breakfasted
went at once to his uncle's house. There
he was shown the face of his dead sister,
where she lay among the flowers in the
front parlor. Tears came into bis eyes as
he looked at her. The face was beautiful
even in death. There was an expression of
perfect peace upon the countenance. The
brother bent over and kissed the white fore
head, around which the black ringlets
curled.
Last Services for Jhe Dead.
The funeral services were held at 3
o'cIoce at the house. There was a very
large attendance, including the relatives of
both families. Frank Garvin's mother was,
however, unable to attend. She is suffering
irotn extreme nervous prostration, and it
was thought best that she should not attend
the funeral.
There were manv beautiful floral emblems.
The face of the dead was exposed to the
view of those who wished to look upon it
The funeral address was delivered by
Bev. J. H. Miller, pastor ot the Buena
Vista Street M. E. Church. He had mar
ried Frank and Cora only five days before.
He spoke at some length, and his touching
words ot sorrow, and sympathy brought the
tears into the eyes of all bis hearers. She
was taken away just at a time in life when
the future seemed to promise years of hap
piness, in the fullness of health and in the
enjoyment of apparently devoted love.
From her the preacher turned to speak of
her husband-murderer, the occupant of a
prison cell, the victim ot remorse and
terror. To him he asked his hearers to give
pity and charity. He had not only de
stroyed the life of his young wife, bat had
just as certainly ruined his own life. There
was no outlook for him except the black
ness of despair.
The Clods Battle on Her Co fill.
There was a long line of carriages fol
lowing the hearse to the Allegheny Cem
etery. At the grave, under the shadow of
the green trees, the simple burial service of
the Methodist discipline was recited by the
minister, and the clods rattled on the coffin
lid.
Frank Garvin, in his cell in the county
jail, spent most of the day weeping. He
did not- know that his victim was being
buried, or his tears would probably have
fallen in more copious measure. One who
saw him yesterday said that he did not be
lieve that the young man would live to be
tried. He is naturally of a very sensitive
nature, and his nervous system seems to be
entirely shattered. He is not strong phys
ically.and since his terrible deed of Fridav,
he has been unable to sleep, except in
tronbled snatches which have given htm
little or no rest If his body does stand the
strain, there are fears that his mind may en
tirely give wav. His friends and acquaint
ances do not hesitate to say that they be
lieve he was insane when he killed his
wife.
Church Ded'cated at Homestead.
The St Mark's German Lutheran Church,
of Homestead, was dedicated yesterday.
Bev. Ewald Hauen made the dedicatory
address, and Bev. Dr. Mcllyar spoke on the
"Unity of the Church." " The following
ministers assisted: Bev. Gnstav Lorcb, of
the Southside; Bev. Mr. Matz, of Braddock;
liev. mt. isoenng, ot .Manchester, and lie v.
E. Becker, ot Tarentum. The building is a
brick structure, and cost $7,000.
Charsed With Stealing Harnes.
William Enright, of Esplen borough, was
arrested by Officer Taney, of the West End,
yesterday afternoon. The prisoner is
charged with stealing harness, and several
sets of harness were found hidden near his
house.

AH OLD MAH'S DESPAHJ.
Oat of Work, Patrick Keefo Tried to Kill
Himself.
Patrick Keefe, an old man, was found by
Officer Welsh, about noon yesterday, in a
shed on the bank of the Monongahela river
in the rear of the Keystone iron mill, at
Soho, with his throat, cnt and the bloody
razor laying by his side. Keefe was dis
charged from the Keystone mill about two
week's ago, where he had worked as a lab
orer for three years. He grew despondent,
and being unable to obtain work at any of
the other mills, owing to his age, he took to
drinking and spent what little money he
had saved.
Saturday evening when Mrs. Morgan,
his boarding mistress, asked Keefe to pay
his board bill, he could hot, having ,no
money. He was told to leave the house
and packed up his elothing and went to the
shed on the river bank where the officer
found him.
When discovered Keefe was unconscions
from the loss of blood, as he had apparently
cut his throat some time during the early
morning. He was removed to the Mercy
Hospital where the physicians in charge
said he had a slight chance to recover. The
wind pipe had not been cut and onlv the
minor arteries had been severed. Owing to
his old age and great loss of blood the
wound mav be fatal. Keefe is Gl years of
age, single and has no relatives in this
country.
