Key West Jots: The growing imjiortancc
of Ibis city, and the legal doubts about our
present effete charter, would seem !o furnish
sufficient reasons to commence the agitation
for anew charter for Key West, in which the
citv limits should extend from the barracks
across to the South Beach, which should be
the only dividing line between the city and
county. About one-half of our population do
not know where the city ends and the county
liegins, so thickly populated has be
come that portion of the island
between Angela street and the
Beach. The men to be elected to the Legis
lature this fall from this county should labor
to have anew charter passed' by that body.
As the city debt is only nominal—not exceed
ing *ll,o'.a —there is t o good reason for any se
rious opposition to this movement, because
the rate of city taxation would be reduced
about one-third by the increased taxable re
sources. The people outside want order, clean
streets, gas light and protection, and they ean
only get these by coming within the city lim
its. which will also enhance the value of their
property.

Scbelling *llies Friends with the Mo*

When Stepfather Hulskamp came back
from Yonkers on Monday night, says the
New York Herald of Sept. IT, he reported
at the little saloon that he had secured
rooms in West Fourteenth street for Mr.
and Mrs. Enest Senlling, and that
Victoria had gone to lied sick. The latter
intelligence so aiarmed Mrs. Stolpe that
she set out yesterday to visit the couple as
soon as her utoruing’s work was done and
found they had taken the 1 o’clock train
for Mount St. Vineent station.
On reaching there the couple walked
through the convent grounds to the old
Forrest House, where Ernest waited Vic
toria’s return front her mother’s bedside.
Julia met her on the porcb with a kiss,
and she was similarly greeted in the hall
by her brother Attilio. Victoria remained
ah hour with her mother and then went
back to her husband. Her two brothers
and Father McNantee, the parish priest,
followed her. but at some distance. The
wife ol the coachman looked very proud
as she walked rapidly along. Near the
old Forrest House she began an animated
conversation with the husband. The
priest and the two young men halted near
bvuutii a handkerchief fluttered in Victo
ria’s hand, which brought them smiling
to her side. Schelling app* ared ill at ease
at first, but soon recovered his composure,
and the party sat down and conversed
until the time arrived for the bride and
groom to go to the station.
When the d:ls train started Father Me-
Namee and the two Morosini bovs shook
hands with Schelling, and bid his wife a
more affectionate adieu. There were
tears in the girl's eyes as she boarded the
cars; her husband’s face wore a con ten ted
smile. They returned to their rooms in
Fourteenth street, and remained there the
rest of the day.
An hour after Victoria and her husband
left Mount St. Vincent station Mr. Moro
sini jumped off a train from New York
and walked toward his home. He had
gone to business in the morning for the
first time since his daughter’s elopement.
The change did him good. He looked
brighter and more cheerful, but appeared
to still Teel the effects oi the trouble that
had fallen upon him. Mr. Morosini
nodded to the reporter, and pleasantly
said:
“How are you, young man?”
“Aery well, sir,” he was answered.
“Have you become recon—”
“There, there,” interrupted the old man,
hurrying away, “don’t ask me any ques
tion* to-day, please.”
The only visitors to the Morosini resi
dence yesterday were Mrs. Noden, the
female detective, and Mrs. Cantom, who
called to see Mrs. MoroSiri- She was
delighted to hear that Dr. Pike had pro
nounced the patient out of danger.
Notwithstanding the scene between the
priest, the Morosini brothers and the
couple at the station, which is given
above as described l>v several witnesses,
Attilio Morosini said that Ernest Schel
ling would not l>e recogai.zed by the
family nor allowed in the house.
PENNED ti’ FOR SIXTY YEARS.
Horrible Case of Cruelty Lt> a Woman
Crazy from Her Birth.
An almost unparalleled case ot cruelty,
says an Auburn, N. Y., special of Sept. 16,
has been diseoxered by John Moulyey,
agent of ®ergh, acting for the Humane
Society, in Cato, ten miles from this city,
A woman of sixty years, a lunatic from
birth, was found in a nude condition in a
pen Bby 12 feet, groveling in her own filth.
Her name is Angeline Hoyt and she has a
third interest in a farm of. 160 acres, the
homestead in which she has been confined
her entire life. The room is in the corner
of a woodshed, without plaster. It has
one door and a small "window, wfaichfis
closed with a board, admitting no light.
Her condition is the result of a drunken
fracas of a hired msui a short time pre
vious to her birth in which her mother
was badlv friahtened. Her fattier was a
penurious man and began the course of
treatment which has been continued since
bis death hr her brother and sisters.
Her mother died three weeks aim and
her only attendant is a sister aged 60, a
confirmed opium eater. Her brother-in
law, James B. Knapp, operates the farm
and thinks all is done that is possible to
make the comfortable. The only
excuse given by him is that the present
treatment is less costly than confinement
in an asylum. People in the town have
known of the case and claim that the
Hoyts and Knapps are respectable p.eop.e.
The pen is supposed to be cleaned once a
week, when fresh straw is thrown in,
The vvoiuau juts picking at the straw all
the time, and when clothed tears her
clothing. Before site lost jtcr teeth she
would tear buffalo rotes into piece,). She
formerly was noisy, but now only grunts,
and does not apjiear to understand any
thing going on about her.
The relatives of tne woman are wealthy,
and it is thought she is kept in Jhis con
dition to save her property for themselves.
Previous to the admission of Moulvey and
bis companions, Knapp threw a shirt over
the woman and gathered tbe filth in a cor
ner, covering it with an old carpet. This
she tore off, sickening the spectators,
‘ihe has no grav hairs and her cheeks are
red. She is apparently healthy notwith
standing her wretched surroundings. She
has lost the use of her lower limbs, and
cannot stand. The Overseer of the Poor
will send the woman to tue asylum as
soon as an order can be obtained, and her
custodian be proceeded against for mis
demeanor. The woman has a brother in
athueni circumstances living near.
Dog collars are in vogue again. The
velvet ribbon Worn i now dark maroon
instead of black, 'ft looks particularly
well against a sott, white neck.
IRISH HEARTS NOT FIRED.
THE BLAINE RALLY AT NEW
YORK ENDS IN A FIZZLE.
Alexander Sullivan’s Empty Platitudes
Fall Like Cold Water on His Little
Knot of Listeners —The Number of
Those Present So Ridiculously Small
as to Be Not Worth Enumerating.
New York, Sept. IS.—The Academy of
Music was crowded to-night on the occa
sion of the Irish Republican mass meet
ings. The stage and balconies were hand
somely decorated with flowers and plants,
flags and streamers. The cfqj|jl outside
numbered about 2,000. Hundreds of men
with counterfeit tickets of admission
tried in vain to gain admission. A goodly
number did thus gain entrance, however.
The purpose of these men was said to be'
to ridicule the proceedings and cheer for
Cleveland. A large force of policemen
was present, and prevented the carrying
out of any such demonstration.
M. D. Gallagher acted as Chairman, and
E. J. O’Sbaughnessy as Secretary. Gal
lagher’s opening address was very brief.
AVhen he concluded Mr. O’Shaughnessy
read a list of vice presidents which com
prised the names of Irishmen from nearlv
every State in the Union. Letters and
telegrams from several prominent Irish
men were also read, and the Secretary
said that be had received many more.
SULLIVAN’S ARPEAKANCE.
Alexander Sullivan, late President of
the National League, was the speaker of
the evening. As he came forward he was
greeted with an outburst of applause that
lasted several minutes. After the en
thusiasm had subsided he began to speak,
and about 3M) of the alleged Cleveland
men got up from their seats and left the
building, making some confusion. Mr.
Sullivan said in substance: The greater
majority of the people here to
night are of my own race,
and attend a Republican mass
meeting for the first time. AVe are here
to protest against a man who is not the
friend of the masses, and therefore not a
true Democrat. Hedisrussed Gov. Cleve
land’s official acts, and deduced the re
sult —that the Governor was the friend
of monopolists. Mr. Sullivan said that
the Democrats had proven themselves in
capable of governing. Ho said:
Wc <l*i nut want an Irish administration nor
any foreign administration, but we do want
an earnest, unflinchingly American adminis
tration. [Applause.]
The speaker then went on to argue that
Blaine would effect such rule. The speech
caused much enthusiasm. There was no
other speaker. After an Irish song by a
young lady, and the adoption of resolu
tions promising to support Blaine, the
meeting adjourned.
Rlaino in New York.
New York, Sept. 18.—James G. Blaine
arrived here on a train of the New York,

company. Chairman B. F. Jones, of the
Republican National Committee, Senator
Warner Alilier, Collector Robertson and
ex-Gov. Alonzo B. Cornell met the train
at the Grand Central Depot.

Worcester, Mass., Sept. 18.—Hon.
James G. Blaine arrived here to-day to
attend the fair of the AVorcester Agricul
tural Society. This visit is entirely non
partisan, the reception committee ’being
composed of members of the Agricultural
Society, and represent different political
parties. His speech was entirely free
from politics, and it showed that he was
thoroughly familiar with the statistics of
Worcester county upon matters of popu
lation, education, wealth and manufac
tures.

DEMOCRATIC CONQUESTS.
Several States Once Thought Doubtful
Now Certainly Democratic.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 18— Senator
Jonas, of Louisiana, a member of the Na
tional Democratic Committee, has been
at headquarters in New York since the
opening of the canvass. He was in this
city last Sunday, amPtie told a friend that
the advices received at the national head
quarters were most satisfactory. He said
that he felt as certain as any one could be
of a future event of Cleveland carrying
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
He spoke of Indiana as safe, and said that
the Democrats expect to carry Mich
igan and Wisconsin, and have
hopes of efioturing Illinois, and even lowa.
Congressman Ehi ridge, of Michigan, wri
ting to the Democratic committee from
Adrian, Mich., under date of Sept. 16, says:
We feel confident of carrying Michigan
against Blaine. Our union fusion bore is per
fect and c. rdial, and the Probibitioni-ts will

puUican party. We have got the Republi
cans on the run and will whip them.

SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1884.
TELEGRAPH THO URGES.
Application Made for a liecelver*fop the
Bankers’ Company. *
Sew York, Sept. 18.—Counsel to-day
appeared before Judge Donohue in the
Supreme Court, and asked for the appoint
ment of a temporary eceiver tor the
Bankers and Merchants’ Telegraph Com
pany. Other counsel appeared on behalf
of several creditors ot the company, but
did not oppose the application. This pro
ceeding has been expecied for several
days, owing to the difficulties which
have ariseq between the company and
the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Com
pany. Papers were submitted and the
court reserved its decision. The Attorney
General of the State was notified of the
action, but did not appear to make an ar
•gument on fho motion. The suit in which
the receiver is applied for is that brought
by Austin G. Day against the company.
Judgment was rendered in favor of
Day against the company for $26,018
in an action begun in the Supreme Court
Sept. 12. An execution was issued to the
Sheriff anu it was returned satisfied on
Sept. IC. The judgment' remains unpaid
at the present time. The plaintiff usks
judgment that the property of the Bank
ers and Merchants' Telegraph Company
may be sequestrated and a receiver ap
pointed who shall convert the property
into money and pav the creditors. An in
junction is also asked for to restrain the
company or its agents trom collecting any
debts or transferring any of its moneys or
effects during the pendency of the action.
The papers also atflrm thqt the company
is insolvent and that numerous judg
ments have been issued against its prop
erty. Fetitions were aiso presented to the
court urging the appointment of Garrett
S. Mott as receiver of the company.
THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.
It is Reported a Failure bv the Public
Buildings Contractors.
AVashington, Sept. 18.—Gen. Meigs,
architect of the new pension building,
has written a letter to the Secretary of
the Interior in reply to charges made by
the Carpenters’ Union ot this eitv. The
architect asserts that the work is of good
quality, and that the contractors are re
sponsible and competent builders. In re
gard to the complaint that the system of
work by the contractors tends to break
down the eight-hour law, he says that
the pension building was the
first public building erected
here under the operations of that law,
and bo regrets to say that it proves to be
the cause of a very considerable increase
In the cost of work. It has never been
held, however, Gen. Meigs says, that the
law justified any government officer in in
terfering with contractors under a public
letting. Were this attempted, contractors
could claim damages. Mechanics work
ing by the day report that the builders are
working under the eight-hour law, and
that while it is not an economical system,
ir. is the law, and that is sufficient for the
department.
HUSINESS IN THE SOUTH.
Planters In Better Condition Than for
Many Years an<l tlie Outlook Good.
Baltimore, Sept. 18.—The Baltimore
Manufacturers' llecord will publish to
morrow special reports from all parts of
the South as to the prospect for the fall
and winter business, showing that the
outlook is favorable for active trade. The
ootton crop will be less than was expect
ed a month ago, owing to drought, but it
is largely counterbalanced by larger crops
of corn, wheat and fruits than lor some
years. Owing to the enlarged pro
duction of food stuff, the people
will not have to purchase so
largely of wheat, corn and provisions
from the West as heretofore. The differ
ence in this, as compared with last year,
is iully $50,000,000. The late stringency in
money, according to many of these re
ports,' prevented planters from borrowing
as treely as usual in the spring and force
them to close economy, so that the cotton
crop has been raised at much lower cost
than in other years, and planters are less
in debt than at the corresponding time
last year. In manufacturing and mining
enterprises rapid progress is being made.
A iKGINI.Y'S SINKING FUND.
Tlie Commissioners Order a Discontinu
ance of tlie Funding Tax Coupons.
Richmond, A’a., Sept. 18.—The Board
of Sinking Fund Commissioners of the
State to-day, after consultation with At
torney General Blair, ordered a discon
tinuance of the funding tax receivable
coupons maturing after July 1, 1882,
which coupons a recent decision of Judges
Hughes and Bond, of the United States
Court, had decided to be fundable, dollar
for dollar, with 6 per cent, interest. The
Legislature, at its late extra session,
passed a bill amending the Kiddleberger
debt bill so as to stop this leak, but be
tween the time of Judges Hughes and
Bond’s decision and the passage of the
act $.‘500,000 of said coupons had been
tendered, ancl under another decision oi
Judge Hughes SIOO,OOO of them had been
funded. This funding is now stopped,
and the case will be appealed to the
United States Supereme Court. If the
whole amount of $300,000 of these coupons
is funded the State will 1082 $220,000.

The Independents held a meeting to
night to draw hearers from Walls and

The Republican tactics were successful
in keeping away negro voters. The meet

of the most active of Blaine’s confidential
agents is Senator Plumb, of Kansas. Mr.

HER FIRST SIN WAS FATAL
TRAGIC STORY OF MRS. JACK
SON’S TERRIBLE FATE.
| Shot on the Threshold by Her Husband
in Mistake for Her Lover—The Start
ling Situation in the Bedroom A’ividly
Portrayed—Tlie Woman Dying, but
McDonald Out of Danger.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 18.—The shooting
last night of William O. McDonald and of
Mrs- M. J." Jackson by her husband,
Thomas M. Jackson, commanded univer
sal attention here to-day, and was fully
commented upon in all circles. Public
sentiment seems to justify Jackson in his
action, while McDonald is looked upon as
having done nothing more than most
young men would have done under simi
larly inviting circumstances. This morn
ing Jackson and McDonald appeared be
fore Justice Tanner to answer the charges
brought against them growing out of
the shooting. Jackson was charged
with assault with intent to
murder and McDonald with fornication.
A preliminary trial was dispensed with
in each case and bpnd was fixed. Jack
son, upon failure to give a bond of SI,OOO,
was sent to jail, to remain there until he
furnished the required security. McDon
ald made a SSOO bond, the amount requir
ed of him,and was feleatsed from custody.
Nearly all day he has been in his room,
adjoining his saloon, or about his usual
place of business.
AN INDIGNATION MEETING.
This afternoon an indignation meeting
was held on Decatur street by the friends
of Jackson, who fell that Tanner should
not have held Jackson to answer the
charge preferred against him. The meet
ing partook largely of a general discus
sion of the shooting, and adjourned with
out anything definite being determined
upon. Mr6. Jackson is at her home on
Decatur street, and is considered in a
very precarious condition. Opinion dif
fers as to her chances of pulling through.
The contents of the musket, with which
she was shot, are located in her stomach.
McDonald, while suffering a great
deal from his wound, is not con
sidered seriously injured. He de
clined to have the wound probed
and the ball removed. Mrs. Jackson is
said to be a very handsome brunette,
about 30 years ot age, and quite attrac
tive in appearance. McDonald is a hand
some man, of fine size, and particularly
attractive in his address. He says that
he thinks that the affair was a put up job
on him, and does not seem much worried
over the occurrence, further than the pain
that his wound is giving him.
THE HOME WHICH IS RUINED.
Jackson, who is a prosperous box
manufacturer, has been married 14 years,
and is the father of five pretty little chil
dren. One of the stories afloat is that
until a tew days ago he had never had
reason to suspect his wife’s fidelity. At
that time, so the story goes, he thought
be discovered his wife making signals to
the handsome proprietor of the~ saloon
across the street. Last night
when he left home he
told his wife that ho was going to he out
of town until the next day. This, it is al
leged, was a ruse to trap the pair, if there
was anything wrong between them. Then
arming himself he watched the house
with the tragic result detailed in the
Morning News of to-day.
THE FATAL SHOTS.
The first bullet fired from Jackson’s re
volver at the guilty couple in the bed
lodged in McDonald’s 6boulder. The
wounded man sprang from the bed
to the floor, looking for an ave
nue of escape. Jackson drooped
his revolver and opened fire with ati old
army musket. The charge lodged in the
bed clothing, firing them. McDonald,
like a beast driven to bay, drew his re
volver and fired two shots toward his foe
outside of the window. This so added to
Mrs, Jackson’s terror that she started on
a run from the bedroom for the front
door. Within the room the smoke was so
thick that Jackson could no longer dis
cern the forms of his victims. Hearing
the footsteps of his fleeing wife he con
cluded that they were made by McDonald
inaueffortto escape. Running around
the corner of the house Jackson' reached
its front just as the door turned on its
hinges. The form of the fugitive was
dimly outlined. Not suspecting that it
was his wife Jackson levelled the
musket and fired. The charge
lodged in the woman’s shoulder
and ranged downward into her
stomach. She fell iu her tracks. Two
policemen and eight orten-of the neigh
bors rushed up just in time to seize Jack
son and disarm him as he was making
a frantic rush for the interior of the
house to kill McDonald.
THE BLOODY WORK AT AN END.
Both men were put under arrest, xvhile
the wounded woman was cared for by
neighbors. The last act for the night in
the terrible tragedy had been
enacted. The scene in . the in
terior of tne house was start
ling in the extreme. The bed
clothing was in a furious blaze, and but a
few moments would have been required
to have ignited the whole house. Scat
tered about the place, sleeping in their
cribs and trundle beds, was the quintette
of innocent children, on whose lives the
night’s work cf their mother hail cast so
hsavy a cioud. Evidences of pandemo
nium’s reign were everywhere to be seen.
It is said that Mrs. Jackson and Mc-
Donald had never spoken before, and that
her previous life had been spotless. His
handsome face had bereft her of her rea
son, and her first serious sin had proved a
fatal one.
NOTES ABOUT TOWN.
Brof. Slaton, Superintendent of the pub
lic schools of Atlanta, in an interview
to-day, said that “after filling every seat
in our public schools 1,400 children are
yet to be supplied with accommodation,”
An effort will be made to have more shool
houses built.
A prominent citizen of Atlanta, who is
well informed upon the condition of the
Exposition Cotton Mills, says that for
some time past the mill has been running
at a loss of $8 per day. Some
time ago when Hugh Inman was
President and General Manager the mill
made money. Ileeeutly, however, D. N.
Speer has been filling the position, and
the mill has been losing money for its
owners. Hugh Inman stepped down and
out upon the refusal of tb e owners to pav
him a salary of $5,0Q0, and Mr. Speer ae'-
cepted the position at $3,000. It is not
charged that Speer is to blame for the
loss the mill has been sustaining for some
mouths past. That tho mill has been
losing money daily loi months is a settled
fact. As to the cause nothing authori
tative is known by the public. ”

effect one month from the date of its pub
lication in the Havana Official Gazette, a
large importer has petitioned the

with the royal order of Aug. 17, which
gives importers ample time to dispose of
the large stock of wine on hand, thus
avoiding the heavy loss they would suffer
should the order of Sept. 4 be enforced.
The petitioner has 2,000 pipes of wine on
hand on which he paid duty at the rate of
sl7 80 per pipe, whereas, according to the
new tariff, the duty is $9 18 per pipe, mak
ing a difl'erence pf $17,240 to his prejudice.

HIS LIPS BE UNSEALED.
Answers to the Interrogatories of the
Defense Indispensable to tbe Continu
ance of the Suit—Hi* Betrayal of an
Innocent Girl and His Subsequent
Forced Marriage Again Narrated.
Indianapolis, Sept. 18.—In the United
States District Court this afternoon the
attorneys lor Mr. Shoemaker filed a bill
of discovery in the Blaine-Sentinel libel
suit:
The bill begins by citing the fact of Blaine
bringing suit against the Sentinel, and repeat
ing tbe original complaint in the suit, the
Sentinel's answer ami the accompanving in
terrogatories, and the replv of Mr. Blaine’s
attorney. The bill then states that after
tiling the interrogatories Mr. Shoemaker’s at
torneys on Sept. 8 moved the court for a rule
against Mr. Blaine to answer the same within
a specified time, to be fixed by tbe court,
which motion was argued Sept. 13 and over
ruled. The bill goes on to say that
in order to maintain the defense of justifica
tion pleaded by Mr. Shoemaker, it will be
necessary and material for the orators to show
and prove that Mr. Blaine had illicit rela
tions with and seduced the person whom he
afterwurds married, the result, of said inter
course being the birth of a child in about
three months after marriage. The hill goes
on to sav that the orators are informed and
believe that the marriage of James G. Blaine
and Harriet StADwood occurred on or about
March 29, 1851,in Pittsburg; that the marriage
was clandestinely arranged, secretly per
formed. and hastily accomplished; that no
license was issued by any authority for such
marriage, uoue being required by the
laws of penury at that time; that no
public official rccorii was kept or made
for the same reason; that one Bayon, tho
minister who officiated at said marriage, had
been dead several years, and that if anv pri
vate memorandum on record of the marriage
was ever made the sams is lost or destroyed.
BLAINE’S COURTSHIP.
Tbe bill then statesthatforsometimo before
the date of said marriage iilainc was a pro
fessor at an institution of learning at Millers
bnrg, Ky.; that Miss Stanwood was an in
structress in a female school at the same place,
and that they there became acquainted; that
both were unmarried, and that Blaine ad
dressed Miss Stanwood as a suitor; that he
gained her confidence, and that illicit rela
tions ensued.
That a short time before said marriage
Jacob Stanwood. a brother or uncle of Har
riet, or some other person or persons unknown
to the orators, waited on Blaine amt charged
him with being the cause of Miss .Stanwood’s
condition, and threatened him with personal
violence unless he married her; that Blaine
made no denial of the charges, and in conse
quence of being threatened agreed to marry
her, and that one or more persons were pres
ent at the interview between Blaine and the
relative, but who these persons were is un
known to the orators.
Tlie bill then states that after the marriage
Mrs. Blaine went to Augusta. Me., where a
child was born about June 19,1851, and that
said child was always recognized and ac
knowledged by Blaine as his son. The ora
tors further say that they have a good
and valid defense, as stated in their
plea of justification; that the facts stated in
the answer are true, and the same can be
fully established by answers of Blaine to tbe
interrogotories heretofore propounded, all the
circumstances being tully known to him, and
that a full and complete discovery of said
facts from aud bv Blaine is necessary to the
orators in their defense, in aid of such other
testimony as may be procurable.
ANSWERS A NECESSITY.
Unless this is done the orators cannot so
fully set out and completely show and prove
the necessary to their'defense. The ora
tors, therefore, pray that a full and complete
discovery be made by Blaine in relation to the
facts heretofore stated, and to the end that he
be summoned to answer the same under oath.
The bill closed by asking that a writ of sub
pcena be issued out of chancery for B 1 tine,
and that he be ordered to answer particularly
the interrogatories; that the proceedings be
stayed until such time as Bla'ne may answer;
that in case he fails to answer said bil:, or
fully and truly to answer the interroga
tories. further proceedings can be perpetually
stayed or restrained.
The bill was not filed until 5 o’clock
this afternoon and the court adjourned
without action.

ITALIAN FEAR AND DISTRUST.
Cholera-Stricken People Rise Up
Against the Physicians.
Naples, Sept. 18.—a popular demon
stration occurred at Spezzia yesterday in
favor of abolishing the military and sani
tary cordon about the town. At Pesciano,
a village of Calabria, the populace were
greatly excited bv a rumor which was
abroad among them that the cholera
remedies which were being dispensed to
the sick were poisons. In some in
stances, when the dispensers of remedies
approached their houses, shots were fired
at them from windows. A small body of
carbineers, in attempting to preserve or
der, were attacked with a volley of stones
and shots, and were obliged to use their
firearms in self-defense. At Naples, from
midnight to 10 o’clock Wednesday morn
ing, there were 132 iresh cases of cholera
reported and 46 deaths.
The government proposes to present a
bill to Parliament providing lor the demo
lition of the slums of Naples. Excessive
heat prevails but the general condition of
the city is improving. The gloom and de
pression which have overhung the city
since the cholera became serious are tlis
appearing and the streets are regaining
their customary activity. Some alarm is
felt at tbe increase in the suburbs, and
the municipal authorities have postponed
making any change in the quarantine.
At Rome young ladies of the aristocrat
ic circles have been holding a fete in aid
of the cholera sufferers. Other young la
dies are volunteering as nurses in the
hospitals.
A report is current in Rome that Senor
Mancini, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has
submitted to the powers a scheme for an
international sanitary code, with a laza
retto on the Red Sea, and the isolation of
each State in which cholera appears.
ITALY’S BULLETIN.
To-day’s bulletin of the ravages of the

Paris, Sept. 18.—One death from chol
era has occurred at Stowen, a suburb of
Paris. In Perpignon and its vicinitv yes
terday there were 18 deaths reported, at
Marseilles 2, and at Toulon none. During
the continuance ot the epidemic in France
there have 10,000 cases and 5,000 deaths.

form of cholera has appeared at Aranen
taha. Precautions have been taken to
prevent its dissemination. The prison at
Tangier is crowded with political prison
ers, who are charged with revolting
against the Sultan. The prison is in a
deplorable condition, and an outbreak of
cholera is feared.
A PORTRAIT OF BLAINE.
The Widow of Lot M. Morrill Tells what
She Knows about Him.
A staff correspondent of the Post, says
a Boston special of Sept. 16, has had a
long interview with-Mrs. Lot 31. 31orrill.
She has received a great number of letters
from Republicans in all parts of the coun
try, some of them from editors of news
papers that have been supporting Mr.
Blaine, anxiously inquiring for more facts
in regard to the Republican Presidential
candidate. Mrs. Morrill says she cannot
attempt to answer all these letters, and
she does not wish to keep her name before
the public any more than is necessarv.
“L wish to say, however,” she adds,
“that I know 3lr. Blaine to be a very
wicked and corrupt man. Nothing but a
strong sense of public duty made me per
mit the use oi my naine*at all.”
Continuing, Mrs. Morrill said; “31y
only hope is that 31 r. Blaine may be de
feated in bis attempt to obtain control of
the government. 1 hope there are enough
good people in this country to defeat him.
When there were such simple, able, hon
est statesmen as 31r. Edmunds, and such
an. admirable candidate as President Ar
thur, to choose from, I cannotjunderstand
how 3lr. Blaine secured the nomination.”
31rs. 31orrill says further: “In giving
my own opinion of Blaine’s record I ex~
press what I know Was that of my hus
band.” In regard to the New York Tri
bune’s criticism that it was strange that
Mr. 31orrijl had not expressed himself
about Bhiine when alive, 31rs. 3lorrill
says: “He thought the people knew in
general about his record, and at the pro
per time he would have spoken had he
lived. He had strong opinions, but did
not seek to be unnecessarily aggressive.”
BLAINE’S TREACHERY AND INGRATITUDE
3lrs. Morrill detailed casually the facts
about .Blaine’s treachery and probable
corruption in connection with the 31aine
Senatorial question in' 1869, and also
stated what is not generally known, that
after Gov. Connor put Blaine into the
Senate in 1876, Blaine turned traitor to
Connor, and the latter, iu order to get ap
pointed as pension agent a few years
since, had to depend upon Mr. Morrill,
then Collector at Portland, to help him
secure President Arthur’s favor. Mrs.
Morrill has the letters of Arthur. Connor
and her husband, which establish Blaine*
treachery in this case, but consider, g
her husband’s correspondence aaciy’ s “ e
declines to make them public.
