AUSTRIAN BLOOD CP.
Two Fruit Dealer* Make Thing* Lively
with a Club.
Quite an excitement was created yester
day afternoon at the intersection of
Broughton and Whitaker streets by the
appearance of two Austrians, one a man
of low stature and the other very tall,
who were engaged in a fierce per
gonal encounter and creating a great
disturbance by their free use of exple
tives uttered in some foreign tongue. The
f ace and breast of the taller man were
covered with blood which flowed from a
wound on the top of his head, and the
man seemed to casual observers to have
been cut with a knife or some
other sharp instrument. The
fiffht lasted nearly twenty minutes. A
1 arge crowd collected, when a policeman
made his appearance and took the fellow
to the barracks. The fight was begun
suddenly by the smaller man, whose
name is Raphiel Pavolovieh, and who
claimed that Melchior Girovici was owing
him a sum of money as wages, which the
alter denied and refused to pay. Raphiel
ust belore the fight began was standing
on the pavement near Mr. Lyons’ grocery,
and seized a club about three feet long,
three or four inches wide and an inch
thick, and assailed Girovici as he passed.
The first blow struck the latter on the
right shoulder, when the stick broke, and
as lie wheeled about he was struck in the
head bv Pavolovieh with the remaining
piece of the stick, to which the latter
clung tenaciously, and repeatedly at
tempted to strike his assailant, who was
kept busy defending himself by holding on
to Raphiel until the officer appeared. A
warrant was sued out against Pavolo
vich before Justice Tyson, and he was
committed to jail to answer the charge of
assault and battery.

NORWOOD FOR CONGRESS.
THE FIRST DISTRICT’S UNANI
MOUS CHOICE.
The Convention, After One Hundred and
Ninety-Eight Ballots, Nominates Hon.
Thomas it. Norwood—How the Nomi
nation was Made—Adams, Brail well
and Kawles Withdrawn, and Mershon
Lead* the Ballot for the Dark Horse—
Closing Scenes In the Convention—A
Day of Wild Excitement—Col. Nor
wood's Acceptance—Hls Views on the
Tariff.
The Superior Court room was packed
with a dense crowd when the Chairman
of the convention took his seat yesterday
morning, and the fourth day’s session
began. It was the general impression
that the deadlock would be broken, and
that a nomination would be made some
time during the day. The convention
was getting tired of continuous ballot
ing. All sorts of rumors were floating
about. While the delegations were in
session at the Marshall House alter
breakfast, it leaked out that Bradwell
and Rawls would be withdrawn, and that
the issue would be left between Adams
and Mershon. The report went flying to
the court house, and when the convention
assembled everybody was waiting for the
move that would put the fight on a dual
basis.
THI BATTLING BEGINS.
Exactly at 9 o’clock the Chairman
called the convention to order, and the
call of counties began for the one hundred
and seventy-fourth ballot. The result
was: Mershon 16, Adams 12, Bradwell 8,
and Rawls 4. After three ballots
had been taken the convention
was no nearer a choice then when it as
sembled on Wednesday. There were no
6igns of yielding on the part of either of
the delegations, and the deadlock re
mained as solid as at the start. With the
view to an amicable adjustment of the
differences, Col. Warren moved a confer
ence of representatives from each of the
delegations, to suggest some
plan upon which they could agree
and by which they could accomplish
a nomination. The plan met with the ap
proval of all the delegations, and a con
ference was held in the grand jury room,
in which Judge Mershon was represented
by Col. Sweat, of Clinch county; Capt.
Bradwell by Capt. Hughes, of Liberty;
Judge Adams by Mr. Humphries, of
Striven, and Mr. Rawls by Mr. Atkin, of
Bulloch. The convention’ took a recess
until the conference should be ready to
report.
A CONFERENCE APPOINTED.
The air was full of speculation. Every
body bad an idea of what the result would
be. If the conference should not deter
mine the nomination on the next ballot,
the general impression was that a dark
horse was the only solution of the con
test. When the conference ended, and
the delegates took their seats in the court
room, there was a crush to get inside
the tailing. The Mershon and Adams
delegates proposed to cast ten ballots, af-_
ter which the two candidates with the low-’
est vote should withdraw from the race.
The Bradwell and Rawls delegations re
fused to accede to this proposition, and
iff support of their position
urged the concessions they had
already made. It was seen at once that
further balloting would be useless, and a
recess was taken until 3:30 o’clock.
During the recess the delegations met
in caucus, but failed to agree upon an
amicable adjustment of the variances that
had split the convention and kept it di
vided.
KEEPING CP THE BALLOT.
Upon reassembling the one hundred
and seventy-seventh ballot was taken, re
sulting the same as the preceding ballots.
There was no change up to the one
hundred and eighty-first ballot, when
Dart, of Glynn, aiose and said he had
seen enough of child’s play. He was
satisfied that the convention could not
agree upon any candidate then beiore it
and he proposed to put in nomination
a gentleman from Chatham —a
man of whom he knew nothing except
that he was a gentleman and a scholar,
and a man true to the great principles of
Democracy. He would pledge him 14
of the 16 votes controlled by the Mershon
delegation. He nominated Hon. P. W.
Meldrim, of Savannah.
HON. P. W. MELDRIM NOMINATED.
At the mention of Mr. Meldrim’s name
the wildest enthusiasm prevailed.
M. A. O’Byrne, Esq., edged through the
crowd and handed the Chairman a note,
which he asked to be read to the conven
tion before a ballot was taken.
The Chair read:
//on. V.P. Wade, Chairman Democratic Con
gressional Convention first District:
Dear Sir— lt having come to my knowledge
that a movement is on foot to present my
name to the convention over which you pre
side, I request that you will say to the con
vention that it is my desire that my name be
not used. With high respect, I am, yours
truly, P. W. Meldrim.
McDonald, of Ware, indorsed the nom
ination and every word that the delegate
from Glynn had said of the gifted eon of
Chatham. Since Judge Mershon could
not be nominated he was ready to go, heart
and hand, to Mr. Meldrim.

CHATHAM OBJECTS.
Col. Warren, of Chatham, said the
proposition of the delegate from Glynn
would, under ordinary circumstances, ac
complish what it sought to accomplish—
divide the vote and support of the man
whom 1,500 of the voters of Chat
ham county had unanimously
indorsed as their candidate. As
a delegate for Judge Adams
he wanted to demonstrate the purposes
and principles of the unterrified Democ
racy. He referred to the mass meeting at
which Judge Adams was nominated and
the club of 1,500 voters which had pledged
him its support. No snap judgment, he
said, had been taken by him in his candi
dacy. He was brought before the con
vention as the candidate of Chatham
county, and he was still her unanimous
choice. His character had been as
sailed and aspersions had been thrown
out against him, and he was
there to protect his good name.
“We cannot* withdraw him,” con
continued Col. Warren, “without a stigma
upon ourselves and a stigma upon him,
and whatever we might do we will vote
for him to the end. Whatever opposition
there had been against Judge Adams, and
it was said that there was opposition to
him in his own county, had been in anony
mous circulars and whispered scandals.”
In concluding Col. Warren said: “He
is our candidate; he stood by
us in the dark days of 1876 when
pestilence shrouded the city. We shall
keep him in the field and we shall vote
for him while we are here.”
CAPTAIN FALLIGANT SUGGESTED.
Mr. Dart arose, with the counsel of his
colleague from Clinch to keep cool and
take his time, and replied to Col. Warren,
denying what he assumed had been
charged to his delegation—the defaming
of thecharacter of Chatham’s candidate.
Col. W arren refuted the accusation of
Mr. Dart that he had charged him
and his colleagues with such an act.
Mr. Dart wanted the convention to fix up
on a nominee. He was ready to vote for the
honored patriot Gen. Henry R. Jackson,
the gallant old war horse Gen. A. R.
Lawton, that high-born Irish gentleman
Capt. Robert Falligant, or he was ready
to vote for Hon. P. W. Meldrim. “Name
any one|of these gentlemen," he said, “and
we’ will come to you.”
BREAKING THE DEADLOCK.
Col. Warren—Nominate Gen. Lawton
and we will withdraw our candidate and
nominate him by acclamation.”
Mr. Dart—l’ll first nominate Capt. Fal
ligant.
Col. Warren—Very well, then; I’ll sec
ond the nomination.
The convention was in the wildest en
thusiasm, and in the excitement a recess
was taken and the delegations withdrew
into caucus.
Upon convening again the one hundred
and eighty-first ballot was taken, and was
the same old story.
BRADWELL AND RAWLS WITHDRAWN.
The balloting continued up to the one
hundred and eighty-fifth, when Capt.
Hughes, for the 6ake of harmony, with
drew the name of Capt. Bradwell from
the race.
Mr. Pittman, of Effingham, withdrew
the name of Mr. Rawls. The one hundred
and eighty-fifth ballot was then taken,
and resulted as follows :

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 27, 1884.
On toe next ballot Liberty cast her vote
solid for Adams. The voting continued
up to the one hundred and ninety-fourth
ballot with the same result, when another
recess was taken.
Upon convening the one hundred and
ninety-fifth ballot was taken, and showed
Adams’ strength 24 and Mershon 16.
On the one hundred and ninety-sixth
ballot the Appling. Camden, Chariton,
Clinch, Glynn, Pierce and Wayne delega
tions voted solid for Meldrim, giving him
14 votes, Adams 24, and Mershon 2. The
one hundred and ninety-seventh ballot
was: Meldrim 14, Adams 22, Mershon 4,
Camden going back to Mershon.
COL. NORWOOD NOMINATED.
Col. Sweat arose and said that while
the Mershon delegation came into the
convention with sixteen solid votes, and
had presented Judge Mershon as the
proper man to be the nominee, yet he
wanted it understood that there was no
factious opposition among the delegation
to obstruct the convention in its work.
He was about to propose to the conven
tion a man who had illustrated not only
Georgia but the entire South in the coun
cils of the nation. He nominated Hon.
Thomas M. Norwood, of Chatham.
Maj. Letford, of Bryan, seconded the
nomination. He had been in the conven
tion lour days trying to agree upon a
candidate, and now, he said, let it be
Norwood or nobody. He was for Nor
wood first, last and forever. He was for
him because he had illustrated the great
South so ably in the Senate hall, and he
was for him because he would make in
Congress a faithful representative of the
people.
Mr. Denmark, of the Chatham delega
tion, asked five minutes time for the
friends of Judge Adams to confer with
each other.
Dart—Not one second.
Sweat—l trust the request will be
granted.
Mr. Denmark said that there was no
man for whom he had a higher regard
than for Col. Norwood, but in behalf of
his colleagues he asked for five minutes,
and if granted he would assure the
convention that a nomination could be
made. It was evident that the time had
come for a break, and that Norwood would
be the nominee. The Chatham delegation
returned fronr the caucus room at
the expiration of the five minutes,
and took their seats. Mr. Denmark
said the friends of Judge Adams agreed
with the friends of Judge Mershon that it
was time that a nomination should be
made. His delegation had followed their
choice as long as it could in justice to
him, and he was now authorized to with
draw Judge Adams’ name from the race.
The call of counties for the one hundred
and ninety-eighth ballot began and re
sulted in ihe unanimous nomination Of
Col. Norwood.
McDonald, of Ware, moved the ap
pointment of a committee of five to ac
quaint Col. Norwood ot his nomination,
and request his reply in person. The
chair appointed McDonald of Ware,
Hughes of Liberty, Denmark of Chatham,
Sweat of Clinch and Aiken ol Bulloch,
who retired to hunt up the convention’s
choice.
While a waiting their return speeches
were made by Dart of GlynD,
Way of Liberty, and Smith ot
Glynn, who was speaking when
the committee returned escorting
Col. Norwood, the nominee, and Judge
Mershon, Capt. Bradwell and Mr. Rawls.
COL. NORWOOD’S ACCEPTANCE.
Col. Norwood was led to the platform
and thanked the convention for the honor
it had conferred upon him in making him
its choice. The mountains had labored
and brought forth a mouse. He was not
looking for such a birth. [“That’s why
you got it,” said a voice.] The old
maxim, “Blessed is he that specs
nothing, for then he gets it,” he believed
to be a true one. In accepting the nomi
nation he pledged his efforts in the inter
ests of the people. Upon the questions of
finance he was'not a thorough protective
tariff man and he was not an out and out
free trader. He believed in the golden
mean. He considered there was a great
difference between the principles of gov
ernment and the policy of government.
The principles of government he regarded
as the protection of life, liberty and
property, and when this was accomplish
ed all else was policy. The policy of the
government in years past he did not
consider its policy now. The South,
during the past six months, had increased
its manufacturing interests by the in
vestment of over $70,000,000. In view of
this, it would not be policy to adopt free
trade principles.
The nomination, he said, had taken him
by surprise. He was sitting in his office
when a gentleman rushed in and called
him a Representative. He didn’t know
what it meant until he was told that he
was the nominee of the convention as
Representative in Congress. In accept
ing the nomination he would assume its
duties and responsibilities with a sense of
the high trust which had been given in
his care and keeping.
CLOSING SCENES.
Col. Norwood was followed by Judge
Mershon, Capt. Bradwell and Mr. Rawls,
who spoke in bis behalf, and pledged him
the vote of the district by a majority
greater than it had ever given to any man
before.
The convention adjourned after voting
a resolution of thanks to the Chairman
for the able and courteous manner in
which he had presided over its delibera
tions, and to the Secretaries, Hon. A. G.
Smith and Messrs. A. B. Estes, Jr., and
John DeLettre for the efficient and at
tentive services they had rendered. The
wildest excitement prevailed, and the
delegates left the hall with three cheers
and a tiger for Hon. Thomas M. Norwood,
and victory tor the Democracy.
NORWOOD S CAREER.
Col. Norwood was born in Talbot county,
Ga., on April 26, 1830, and when 6 years
of age his father moved to Monroe
county, when young Norwood entered an
academy and "prepared for college under
the tuition of John Cotton Mather, who
now lives at No. 3 on the Central Rail
road. He graduated at Emory College,
Ga., in 1850, and taught school for one
year in Monroe county. He there read
iaw under ex-Gov. James M. Smith,
and was admitted to the bar
at Forsyth, Monroe county, in
February,’ 1882, along with Hon.
Claudius Wilson and Gen. Clifford An
derson. In March, 1852, Mr. Norwood
moved to Savannah, and entered upon the
practice of his profession, and was elected
to the Legislature without opposition in
1861 and served one term. At the out
break of the war he was a member ol the
Chatham Artillery, and when the hostili
ties ceased between the States he resumed
the practice of his profession and was
very successful. In 1871, in a contest
with eight candidates, he was
elected to the United States Senate,
and . after a contest for the
seat against Foster Blodgett, who had
been elected to the Senate by the Bullock
Legislature in 1870, he was seated, though
the Senate was largely Republican. He
served his State with honor until March,
1877, in the meantime being defeated for
re-election by Hon. Ben Hill in
January of that year. In 1880
the Gubernatorial convention failed to
nominate under the two-thirds rule, when
he ran, as the candidate of the minority,
against Alfred H. Colquitt, the candidate
of the majority, and was defeated. Since
that campaign Mr. Norwood has taken no
active part in politics.

THE COUNTY TAX RETURNS.
The Taxable Property Tor 1884—Over
Half a Million Dollars Increase in
Vnluation Since the Last Return—A
Comparison With the Return of 1853.
Mr. Henry L. Davis, Receiver ot Tax
Returns for Chatham county, completed
yesterday his labors for 1884 in preparing
a digest of the taxable property of the

he was ably assisted by Mr. Joseph O.
Davis, Jr. The results show an increase
in valuation over last year of $601,451, so
far as concerns the real and personal
property of the county.
The digest of last year, compared with
that of 1882, showed an increase in the
aggregate of valuation amounting to sl,-
092,939, while in the valuation of 1882,
compared with 1881, there was a decrease
of $584,945.
The digest just completed has been filed
in the County Commissioners’ office, and

The first digest made out under the
Present system of ad valorem taxation in
852, by Col. Barnard E, Bee, gives an
opportunity for comparison with the re
turn for 1884. The total value of property
at that time was $18,533,669. The system
prior to 1852 differed Irom the system
now in vogue. The specific tax act was
then in force. Land was taxed according
to its quality. In 1852 the svstem was
changed, and property was taxed accord
ing to its value. Toe following is the ab
stract for that year:
1,392 polis at 25 cents, and 63 pro
fessions, 4 dentists, 2 daguerrean
artists and 290 free persons of
color $ 2,142 50
221,903% acres of land valued at .. 2,197.379 00
City property 4,692,541 00
12,584 slaves 4,286,708 00
Amount of money and solvent
debts 4.573,708 00
Amount of merchandise 1,356,555 00
Capital in shipping 652,480 00
Bonds, etc 243,765 00
Furniture 303,839 00
All other property 226,818 00
Total value $18,533,569 00
This was thirty-two years ago. Jones
street was then on the outskirts of the
city, and there were but few houses in
that locality. The city’s property was
then valued at $4,692,541 —over four and
a half million dollars—and a large por
tion of it was valuable wharf property.
The same property to-day is not consid
ered worth one-third of what it was then.
At that time ail the steamers loaded and
discharged at the wharves in front of the
city, and ships, barks and brigs plied be
tween Savannah and Boston, New York,
Baltimore and other domestic ports.
There were over $4,000,000 worth of slaves,
it is true, but the immense guano and na
val stores interests and the general in
crease of business since that date, it
seems, should at least have doubled the
tax returns since thirty-two years ago.
THE GERMAN VOLUNTEERS.
The Welcome Awaiting them in Charles
ton this Afternoon.
The German Volunteers, commanded by
Capt. John Derst, will leave the city
this morning at 6:55 o’clock on an excur

tation received several days ago from the
German Fusilliers of that city. They will
be accompanied by a number of ladies and
gentlemen, and by Major John Schwarz
and Adjutant John W. Wilson, both of
the First Volunteer Regiment, who were
invited to participate in the excursion
and to take part in the parades, which
will take place on Sullivan’s Island this
afternoon and to-morrow.
The following are the names of the Vol
unteers who have signified theii inten
tion to participate in the trip:
Capt. John Derst, Lieutenants J. H.
Helmken and Henry Kolshorn; Sergeants
W. W. Fricke, John Rocker, F. G. Jaug
stetter, George Derst; Quartermaster
Robert Schneider, Corporal H.

Renken, Louis Sievers, J. Gray, John
Juchter, John Woltjen, Louis Kuck,
George Murken, Louis Steinbach, A.
Umbach, H. F. Lubs and several others.
The excursionists will arrive in Charles
ton at 12:40 this afternoon, where they
will be met by the German Fusilliers, wno
will escort them via the City Railway to
the Ferry wharf. A special boat will con
vey them to the New Brighton Hotel, where
they will spend to-day and to-morrow. At
the dress parades this afternoon and to
morrow Maj. Schwarz will be placed in
command. There will be two open air
concerts at the New Brighton, one this
afternoon, and the other to-morrow after
noon, when Miss Ella Backus, the distin
guished Boston pianist, will give a grand
piano recital. Reeve’s orchestra will also
give two sacred concerts, one this after
noon and one to-night. To-morrow the
military will participate itu.a clambake,
and the pleasures of the day will be fin
ished with a grand hop, at which several
hundred citizens of Charleston and from
other points will be present. The Volun
teers will probably return to Savannah on
Tuesday evening.

FRANCE’S FATAL PLAGUE
SAVANNAH’S VISITS FROM THE
DREAD DISEASE.
The Victim* of Its Ravages in 1834
aud 1866—How the City I* Protected
—A Rigid Quarantine —Precautionary
Measures—How to Keep Away the
Terrible Pestilence.
The terrible ravages of cholera in
France and the East recall to many the
visitations ot the dread disease in this
country. Although it has prevailed in
Savanuah twice during the present cen
tury there is little fear that the city will
ever suffer again from its devastations.
In 1834 it first reached Savannah, and
raged with fearful fatality among the
negroes on the island plantations north of
the city. The first ease appeared on Sept.
11, and during the remainder of
the year 22 deaths of white peo
ple were recorded. These oc
curred in September and October. The
number of deaths among the negroes is
not given and no burials were reported.
This was probably owing to the
fact that the negroes were buried on the
plantations where they died. The
disease did not extend more than 10 miles
west of the city, and there were few
deaths reported within the limits. It was
confined chiefly to the lowlands and
islands.
THE EPIDEMIC IN 1866.
In 1866 the disease again raged with a
greater fatality than liefore. It broke out
on board a vessel bound from New York
to Savannah with troops. The infected
passengers were landed on Tybee Island
in June, where they were placed in tent
hospitals. The idisease proved signally
fatal, the men dying rapidly. A panic
ensued, and many escaped from the
island, and coming to the city,
brought the disease with them.
It spread rapidly, and the
first death, that of a colored pilot, was
reported on July 9. The epidemic raged
the remainder of the year, and until Feb
ruary, 1867. It then ceased until
September, when it again made
its appearance, and continued
through the remaining months of that
year, with 31 deaths during January, 1868.
It then ceased and has never made its ap
pearance since.
The records show that there were
85 deaths of whites and 211 of
colored persons in 1866, in 1867 12
whites and 17 colored, and in 1868
13 whites and 18 colored, making a total
of 356 deaths in the city from the time
the disease was introduced until it disap
peared. The ratio of mortality from
July, 1866, to February. 1868, was
12.4 deaths per 1,000. There is no
reeCfd to show the numlier that fell
victims to the disease at Tybee. With
the two visitations of 1834 and 1866
Savannah has been free from the ter
rible ravages of tne disease. While only
356 deaths occurred here, there were
3,500 in New Orleans, 4,557 in
St. Louis, 5,514 in Cincinnati, 1,022 in
Philadelphia and5,071 in New York in the
scourge that visited those cities in 1849,
and filled a black page in the history of the
dread pestilence.
THE SAPELO STATION.
Savannah and the entire South Atlan
tic coast, especially that of South Caro
lina, Georgia and Eastern Florida, is
protected In every possible way from the
importation of the disease by the Govern
ment Quarantine Station
under the supervision of United States
Marine Surgeon Stone. Dr. Stone return
ed yesterday from a visit of inspection.
The station is in charge of the Inspector,
Dr. Bruner, who has a force of eleven
men at his disposal. Every precaution
has been taken, and preparations have
been made for the quarantining of any
infected vessel that may arrived. There
heve been no vessels at the station thus
far this year.
“In regard to the cholera, what is the
probability of the disease being imported
into the United States this year ?” asked
a Morning News reporter of Dr. Stone
upon his arrival from the station.
“That depends largely,” replied the
Doctor, “upon the efficiency of the quaran
tine that may be established. As yet,
while our own government has taken
preparation, as you have already seen, to
guard against the introduction of the
epidemic, Canada still simply requires
ships to be inspected at her various ports
of entry. In order to be effectual the
quarantine must 1/e international, and
steps are being taken to make it so in
connection with Mexico and Canada. But
this cannot be done this year.”
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.
“What,” continued the Morning News
man, “do you think ought to be done to
prevent it spreading should it once make
its appearance on our seaboard?”
“Well,” said tbe Doctor, “the pre
cautions in case of its appearance may
be summed up in a sentence—municipal
cleanliness and the total removal of all
filth and refuse matter from the city, the
flushing of sewers, the use of filters to
guard against impurities in water, and a
strict attention to general cleanliness
e very where.”
“What is the character of the disease,
and what are its symptoms?” asked the
reporter.
THE SYMPTOMS.
“The first symptom is cramps, followed
by vomiting and diarrhma—an aggravated
cholera morbus, in fact. As the disease
progresses, the watery portion of the blood
is carried off with the evacuations, and
thus the patient finally dies from exhaus
tion and collapse. This is characteristic
of the third stage of the disease, in which
will be seen the shrunken, pinched face,
and the staring glassy eye. At this time,
too, there is a great thirst owing to the
loss of water from the system.”
“How long does it take the disease to
run its course?”
“As to that, I may say that there is a
great variability in the duration of tbe
disease—some patients having been
known to die in a couple of hours while
others survive forty-eight hours or more.”
“There is a decided difference of opin
ion, is there not, doctor, in medical cir
cles as to the treatment for cholera?”
“Well,” said he in reply, “the first thing
that a man should do, if seized with
cramps, which is the first symptom of the
disease, is to call his physician. As for
the modes of treatment, there are only
two, but they differ widely in their char
acter. The first proceeds on the theory
that the disease is the result of poison in
troduced into the system, and which
should be immediately gotten rid of, and
that the symptoms observed are merely
nature’s evidences of the fact. This
method is the so-called Fyer treatment,
which originated in Mauritius (Java
Islands) somewhere about 1855.
THE MAURITIUS METHOD.
“It consists simply of the use of power
ful emetics and purgatives, promptly
administered, and in such quantities as
to empty entirely the intestinal trap be
fore coliapse can take place. This treat
ment, I should say, which was generally
resorted to by planters of Mauritius,
proved eminently successful, but it has
not been received with general favor by
the medical prolession either in this or
the Old World. The second meth
od, and that commonly in use,
consists in administering opiates and
stimulants—opiates for the purpose of
arresting the cramps and diminishing the
secretions, and stimulants in order to
support powers of the system. The half
dozen or more popular’mixtures which
are sold by the druggists as cholera reme
dies are compounded on this basis. In
addition, however, to these internal reme
dies, under both methods, resort is gener
ally had to the application of heat to the
extremities and tbe body.”
HOW TO FIGHT IT.
“What do you regard as the most effi
cient means of fighting the cholera,
should it once become epidemic iu this
country ?”
“As to that I should say that by all
means the most important’ thing is’ the
destruction of the evacuation from cholera
patients, and especially those evacuations
which otherwise would find their way into
the common sewer, and thereby be dis
charged into some river, contaminating
the water from which the citizens on the
borders of the stream further down derive
tbeir supply, and thus communicating
the disease.”
NO LAND QUARANTINE POSSIBLE.
“Suppose the cholera had already
reached some American port, do vou
think it could be prevented from spread
ing by the adoption of land quarantines—
the quarantining of one State against an
other ?”
“That depends,” he said, “upon the
character of communication between ad
jacent towns. The germs of cholera, it is
well known, are readily carried by water
from place to place, as well as by cloth
ing, cargoes of rags, etc. In my opinion
the most important thing to be done,
should the disease make its appearance
in this country, is to insure the destruc
tion by combustion of the evacuations
from cholera patients.”
Sleeves are still worn pulled at the
shoulders, but fit the arm closely all the
way down.
THK HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
Bright Flashes of Intelligence from
Near and Afar.
Americus Recorder: It is proposed by
the people of Friendship and Pineville, if
the A., P. and L. R. R. is built on the up
per route, to build a branch of about 20
miles, leaving the road west of Maguolia
Springs and passing through Friendship
to Pineville. It is said that such a road
could be easily built, as the route would
lie along a level ridge between Muckalee
and Lanahassee creeks, and the people
along the route feel confident that they
can raise sufficient funds to grade, bridge
and tie it.
Footlight Flashes.
The negotiations for a season of Emma
AbDott at the New York Academy of
Music have been broken off.
Henry Irving’s business has not been
as great since his return to the London
Lyceum Theatre as was that of Mary
Anderson.
The fourth month of “May Blossom” is
announced at the Madison Square Thea
tre. The play is still admirably per
formed. Miss Cayvan, Mr. Wheelock,
Mr. Maginley, Mr. Long, Mr. Frankau,
Mr. Ramsey,* and the other members con
cerned in the original presentation of Mr.
Belasco’s drama, are still playing their
original parts, and the play is likely to
run uninterruptedly for an indefinite time.
Miss Lulu Hurst, the “elsetrie girl,”
should grow rich rapidly, unless the crop
ot competitors becomes too large. On
her first night at Wallack’s Theatre, in
York, the receipts were $350, and they
rapidly ran up to $7OO and $BOO nightly.
She gets half the gross receipts, and has
only to pay the young man who appears
with her. ’ Before she began in this line
of business her lather was barely making
$BOO a year down on his farm in Georgia.
Her profits for the first week aggregated
something in the neighborhood of $2,000.
W. A.Mestayer intends to open his new
theatre, in West Twenty-eighth street,
New York, opposite the Fifth Avenue
Theatre, in September. The house is to
be known as the Society Theatre. Bouci
cault has taken the "theatre for the month
of January, February and March, 1885,
and will open his season then with anew
plav. Mrs. Langtry will probably play
at this house for several weeks preceding
Mr. Boucicault’s season. Mr. Mestayer
has decided to secure a female treasurer
and female ushers, the prevailing English
custom.
Fashion Notes.
There is a tendency toward the return
of the Dolly Yarden style.
Little white straw bonnets and hats
trimmed with black velvet and clusters
of crimson poppies are worn by young
ladies.
Handkerchiefs with colored borders
are tucked in the belt or the front of the
corsage. One for use is put into the
pocket out of sight.
Bright red flannel trimmed with very
narrow white braid is fashionably worn
for yachting. Dark blue and white flan
nel are also popular.
A quaint fashion now popular is to
wear a large kerchief of fine mull or
crepe, folded over the breast Quaker-wise,
and caught by a knot of bright flowers or
gay ribbon. Sometimes the wing of a dove
or a red bird is placed just under the chin.
The latest French fancy is the use of
blaek lace on white cashmere or silk, and
that of white lace on black surah. For in
stance, a black India silk has three scal
loped flounces of silk across the front,
with a three-inch fill of Valeneiennes lace
under each scalloped edge. The lace is
laid flatly on the basque, around the neck,
down each front, and trims up on the
edge of the skirt. Straight cuffs of the
same lace trim the sleeves.
La Petite Silk Umbrellas. First, the
smallest when rolled up; second, the
