The Quarantine Officer Without In

Appliances to Treat a Case of Chol
eraIf He Should Find a Victim He
Would be Utterly Helpless to Prevent
the Spread of the Disease Startling
Results of a Visit to Cumberland,
Md., by Immigrant Inspector Layton
and Captain Crosby Gray, Chief Clerk
to Chief Brown Pittsburg at the
Mercy of the Scourge.
It would be an easy matter for cholera to
enter Pennsylvania from Maryland. The
State Board of Health has pract ically no
quarantine there. One uninstructed in
spector is stationed at Cumberland, Md.,
but he does not know what he is there for.
A trifling inspection is made of all immi
grants bound for Pennsylvania, while those
going into "West Virginia and Ohio pass the
State lines unmolested. If a case of cholera
were to be developed at the State line there
is no one to take charge of it. Even the
site for a hospital has not been selected and
the inspector has -his headquarters in Mary
land, six miles from Pennsylvania.
Yesterday Immigrant Inspector Layton
and Chief Clerk Crosby Gray, of the De
partment of Public Safety, Tisited Cumber
land. They were sent down by Chief
Brown to see what was being done, if any
jbimyin tli way of keeping cholera out of
the State. A very unsystematic and un
satisfactory state of affairs was found. They
spent a day of hard work and offered many
good suggestions.
An Easy Boute for Cholera.
If they are carried out the quarantine
will be very materially strengthened. If
they are not this route from the east will be
an easy one for cholera to travel.
Dr. J. S. Hackney, a district inspector
for the State Board of Health, is the official
in charge at Cumberland. The two Pitts
burg officials and a Dispatch reporter
caw him yesterday. To the visitors he told
the following story: "I was hurriedly
ordered here by Dr. Lee about a week ago.
I had no instmction when I came here and
have received but a meager explanation of
my duties since then.
"I an in Cumberland only as a matter of
convenience. There has been no arrange
ment between Pennsylvania and Maryland
allowing me to come here. The State line
is six miles from here, at Ellerslie, but it is
a very small place and has no accommoda
tions. The orders I have received from
Dr. Lee so far are that I inspect only im
migrants coins into Pennsylvania. If they
do not have certificates of health from the
New York quarantine I am to send them
back. I was also Informed to let the secre
taries of the Board of Health of Kentucky
and Illinois know if any immigrants pass
here for those States.
Ignorant Even of Names.
"This I cannot do, as I do not know the
name of either secretary. I have nothing
to do with the foreigners going to West
Virginia and Ohio, and I do not think any
one has. I have had ten immigrants to in
spect so far. They all had clear bills of
health. Their certificates did not show that
thev had to pass an inspection at the Mary
land line. I have never heard that there
was an inspection station there.
"The State has not furnished me with any
money yet So far everything that I have
done has been at my own expense. The
Governor is still fishing yet, I suppose.
There are a number of things which I lack.
I cannot tell when a load of immigrants is
coming until the train arrives in Cumber
land. I have asked t'no railroad
officials to give me several hours'
notification, but so far they have
failed to do it. I am also placed at an
other disadvantage. I have no interpreter
and of course cannot make a thorough ex
amination. I have written about these
things but have gotten no reply. I am also
handicapped in numerous other ways."
Totally Unprepared for Cholera.
Messrs. Layton and Gray then commenced
askingquestions. Aaked Mr. Gray: "Doc
tor, if there were a case of cholera devel
oped at Cumberland, what would you do?"
"I hardly know," responded the Health
Officer. "I have no-instructions. I would,
of course, try to keep it out of Pennsyl
vania. I guess there is a board of health
in Cumberland. It would be its duty to
take charge of the case and either care for
it or send the sick man back,"
"Would the town allow Pennsylvania to
quarantine within its limits or the State of
Maryland within its borders, and if they
would not, then what would our State do?"
was asked.
!'i hardly impose Cumberland or the .
CHOLERA
State of Maryland would allow us to use its
ground as a quarantine station. If they
would object, I have no arrangements made
for the reception of the sick. I would then
have to go to the State line and see what I
could do.
No Place to Quarantine a Case.
"I suppose that I would either have to go
to Ellerslie orHyndman. The first is justat
the State line, and the latter town is
eight miles down toward Pittsburg in
Pennsylvania. At Ellerslie I don't know
what I could da The town really lies on
this tide of the State line, and there is not
a building over the line that is
available. In Hyndman 'I do
not know just what I could
do and it is a little far from tne line. As
to disinfecting and fumigating I have made
v'L - A
The Cholera at Hamburg:
Dltinfecting
no preparation. I really do not know just
what would be used or how it would be
used."
The gentleman from Pittsburg asked a
number of other questions. They were not
at Cnmberland to give orders to Dr. Hack
ney, but to find out what the State was
doing in the way of looking out for Pitts
burg's citizens. They were not satisfied
and they showed it
The party, accompanied by Dr. Hackney,
went down to Ellerslie. There they made
a thorough examination of the State line
town. Messrs. Gray and Layton gave some
very good suggestions about how to arrange
a proper quarantine station there.
A Slto for a Quarantine Station.
Thcro are a number of side tracks at
Ellerslie which run into the woods at the
lower end of town, considerable distance
from any house. The two ' gentlemen
suggested that a hospital car be
established on these sidetracks. Atar for
the sick and one for the well could ran out
on the tracks and the community would not
be endangered. The sanitary arrangements
of the site suggested are exceedingly good.
The plan could be easily carried out
Mr. Layton felt sure that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company would be willing to fur
nish the cars and grant the use of the
tracks. Dr. Hackney supposed this would
be a pood way to establish a quarantine
station. He did not positively express
himself on it He woild like to have if so
arranged that he would need to spend only
two days a week at the State line. Mr.
Gray tried to dissuade him of this idea arid
impress upon him the necessity of his exer
cising every caution to keep the cholera out
of Pennsylvania.
A Call on the IJ. ft O.
Inspector Layton will call upon the Balti
more and Ohio officials to-day and request
that Dr. Hackney b notified when immi
grants leave Baltimore. This will help him
greatly in his work. Mr. Layton will see
that Hackney is furnished an interpreter.
It is the intention of the Pittsburg au
thorities to do all it can to aid the State
officials. Mr. Layton tninks the Balti
more and Ohio will do anything it can to
assist the State board. He thinks that the
immigrants going into West Virginia and
Ohio should be watched close, and that the
Maryland Board of Health should guard its
State lines.
NAT GOODWIN ON A TEAR.
Ills Company In the. Throes of Dissolution
The Comedian Wins at Faro He Pro
ceeds at Once to Blow Himself On One
of Ills Old-Time Hurrahs.
Indianapolis, Sept. 22. Special
The Nat Goodwin Company reached here
this weckin a state of practical disruption.
Its members speak very bitterly about
Goodwin's conduct during the past fort
night. Fred Lotto, the comedian and stage
manager, abruptly left the company at
Columbus, O.
To-day the leading "old woman," Jean
Clara Walters, insisted that her resignation
be accepted, and the first "old man," Rob
ert G. Wilson, took a similar step. Good
win's a::ent has been frantically telegraph
ing to New York for sustitutes, and unless
new actors arrive at once the coinpaav will
be crippled.
One of the actors in the troupe said: "The
trouble began in Columbus, where we played
all the week. On Tuesday Nat kicked over
the traces of temperance and started on one
hiB old-time hurrahs. Ashe always does on
these occasions, he ran against faro, and
this time he was a winner" of about 500.
When he came on the stage that night he
was in a state so hilarious that his audience
noticed it, and the newspapers gave him a
rebuke next day. He did not improve dur
ing the week, either. Most of us would be
glad to cancel our engagements if we could
get other work."
LOIE FULLER TO BLAME
Tor the Very latest Blvorce Suit In The
atrical Managerial Circles.
New Yokk, Sept 22. Special The
atrical circles were excited to-day by the
neirs that the wife of Manager Gustavo
Amberg bad applied for a divorce in the
Chicago courts. Mrs. Amberg was kuown
on the operatic sta;e prior to her marriage
as Marie Eagle. She was an admirable
soprano and bad sung both in this country
and abroad with marked success. Mr. Am
berg married her in this city about lour
rears ago. Last spring Loie Puller, then
in the height of her success as "the
original serpentine dancer," fulfilled
a special engagement at the Amberg The
ater. At the same time she was under sal-,
ary to Hoyt & Thomas, and for week or
so she appeared nightly in their Madison
Square Theater, as well as at the Amberg.
This led to a lawsuit, and ultimately re
sulted in Miss Puller's withdrawal from,
the Madison Square.
A few weeks later it became known that
the dancer intended to make a tour of Ger
many. The arrangements for her trip were
made by Amberg, and they sailed together.
At last accounts Miss Puller was dancing
in one ot the big gardens in Berlin, and
Ambers was itiil acting as her monaier. . .

His Victim. .
Nobristown, Pa., Sept 22. Maddened
by the delirium of typhoid fever, William
Lock, a huckster of Harmonville, on Tues
day beat his mother nearly to death, and
last night cut the throat of his infant son
whle laboring under the belief that he had
been commanded by God to sacrifice the
child's life. A male nurse was procured to
attend to Lock. The murderous instinct
seemed to have left him after his attack
upon his mother, and no further outbreaks
were apprehend ed. Last night, suddenly
springing from his bed, he ran to a window

he walked alone until he came to a window
opening into a room occupied by his wife
ana two small cnnaren. reaping tnrougn
the window, Look went directly to the crib,
in which lay sleeping his 19-month-old boy.
The man's lace revealed his purpose.
His terrified wife screamed for help,
arousing Christopher Brown, a boarder, and
throwing the household into a panic. Lock
walked to the mantel-piece, and, taking a
razor from it, went back to the crib. Rais
ing the frightened child in his arms, he
stepped through the window upon the porch
roof again. Holding the child up in the air,
Lock cried: .
"If I cut your throat you will be an angel.
Jesus has commanded me to wash my face
in vour blood."
The agonized mother turned away her
head, unable to watch the butchery of her
babe, as with one sweep of the keen blade
Lock cut the boy's throat from ear to ear.
Laying the bleeding form of the ohild upon
the roof, Lock stooped, and plunging his
hands intothe warm blood, raised them to
his face and washed it in the crimson fluid.
The neighbors finally succeeded in overcom
ing the man after a desperate struggle. He
was taken to the jail at Conshocken, where
he will be held to await the action of the
authorities.

with the cholera. The man was suddenly
seized with vomiting and diarrhcea at 0
o'clock, and two hours later he was among
the "suspects" on the floating hospital.
Prick's apartments are above an immigrant

Dr. Jenkins does not feel any particular
anxiety about her.
A dispatch from Camp Low, Sandy Hook,
says: No new patients were admitted to

was reported better, has suffered a relapse
and but little hope is entertained ot its re
covery. There are 22 persons on the sick list in
the camp, but the doctors declare most posi
tively that, with the exception of the case
of Mrs. Gomez, there is no cholera here
now.
The first case requiring thst a resident of
the camp be placed under arrest occurred

The Treasury Secretary Thinks the 20-Day
Quarantlno May He Misinterpreted.
Washington, -Sept. 22. Speciaul
Secretary Charles Poster was questioned
to-day relative to the report that ex-Snr-geon
General Hamilton, of the Marine Hos
pital service, was relieved from duty at the
quarantine camp at Sandy Hook prepara
tory to being appointed Assistant Secre
tary of the Treasury. In reply, the Secre
tary said he had nothing to say on the
subject of Dr. Hamilton's promotion for the
reason that it was a matter which has not
yet been disenssed in administration circles.
Dr. Hamilton was detailed to come on from
Chicago and assist in fighting the cholera at
New York became he had some experience
with that disease before. It was under
stood that as soon as the plague was under
control of the authorities he was to be re
lieved, with permission to return to his
other duties in Chicago.
The Secretary says lie believes that the
cholera scare is practically over and the
New York authorities are competent to
deal with it and keep it from getting a foot
hold in the United States. He anticipates,
however, some trouble growing out of the
20 days' quarantine circular, so far as it re
lates to American citizens who want to re
tarn as steerage passengers. The present
regulations praotically prohibit immigra
tion, and that was the real intent "ofnhe
circular, but it was not intendedto- isfer-J
fere with the poor American citizens who
desired to take advantage of the cheap
transportation rates and visit their former
homes in Europe.

Lawyer E. J. Meegan, Commissioner Peck's
counsel, said to-night that Mr. Peck will be
in court Saturday, to be arraigned
at 10 o'clock A. M. on the charge of destroy
ing papers.
District Attorney Eaton and ex-Senator
Chase have gone to the expense of having a
lot of charred aud partly burned paper pho
tographed. The pictures show signs of fire
having come in contact with the papers at
some time in their eventful history. What
the papers were before disaster overtook
them cannot be determined from the pic
tures. There' was "reading matter" on
them, and more or less writing with a pen,
but there was no signature or official stamps
to show that they ever were official docu
ments. r It is said at the Bureau of Labor Statis
tics that the answers to Commissioner
Peck's circular letter, about which all this
commotion is kicked up by the Cleveland
free traders, were never stamped by the
official stamp of the Labor Bureau, nor was
the usual filing index placed upon them.
This formality was omitted for the reason
that they were never regarded as public
papers to be preserved in the office. When
the statistical information they contained
was copied from them upon the office
blanks, the replies had served their pur
pose and were thenceforth junk.
A telegram from Philadelphia says:
Charles F. Peck, the New York Labor
Commissioner, was in this city to-day, upon
business connected with the office, bnt he
declined to say what it was. He will re

is at sea. I used to admire that man, but
since his meddlesome interference with the
silver question I have lost confidence in
him. As between the Republican and

The stand Powderly takes will create a
sensation in labor circles. He has always

Would-Bo Train Bobbers.
TorEKA, Sept 22. Armed posses are
now scouring the country in every direction
for the miscreants who wrecked the Santa
Fa express train near Osage City yesterday.
Further evidence has been secured showing
conclusively that the wreck was well
planned. Two through freights had passed
over the track within half ah hour of the
ill-fated passenger train, the last one hav

minutes and was waiting for it to pass at
Osage City. In this short time the fish
plates and spikes had been removed.
The Santa Fe Company has employed ex

statement from either the company or the
Wells-Fareo peoplo as to exactly how
much money was in the express car. No

box which contained the Mexican Central
shipment, but it is supposed it was lor-

Mercy of the Flames.
Oil City, Sept 22. Lightning strnck
the Opera House at St Petersburg, Clarion
county, to-day and set it on fire. Most of
the inhabitants were away attending the
Greenville fair, and though the town had
its usual supply of water, nothing could be
done to stop the flames which spread till
the 20 houses, comprising the main inhabit
ed part ot the town, were totally destroyed.
St Petersburg came into prominence in
1870 shortly after the drilling in of Marcus
Huling's big well. In two years it was a
city rivaling Ranseville in population and
activity, and had banks, an Opera House
and a newspaper. The wells declined rap
