Thursday’s dispatches.
A New York dispatch says: The
tdeamcr Moravia wuis sent to the lower
Island, Lay, two miles south 'f Swinburne
Thursday morning. Dr. Sanborn
reports that there are no new cases on
Foard.
The steamers Gallia and L thn are de¬
tained until the five days’ quarantine, re¬
quired by the health regulation!!, have
«!apsed. The Gullia has 275 Russians
and 175 Poles aboard.
ABATING IN RUSSIA.
A St. Petersburg cablegram states that
t-fficial cholera returns from all Russia
i-how a gratifying decrease in the ravages
of the pestilence. The latest returns,
which are for August 29th, show a total
of 4,859 new cases and 2,529 deaths.
Compared with the latest returns these
figures show a decrease of 1,285 in new
cases reported and a decrease of 212 in
the number of deaths. It will be ob-
ferved, however, that the death rate con¬
tinues excessively high, the figures of the
last report showing a mortality of slight¬
ly over 92 per cent. Statistics from S'.
I’etersburg also show a decrease in both
new cases and deaths.
SUSPICIOUS CASE IN NEW YORK.
i Captain Cross, of the police depart¬
ment of New York city, reported Thurs¬
day night that he was informed by Dr.
Beck, of 9-1 Rivingtou street, that be at¬
tended u man named Etwinan, who lived
on the fourth floor of No. 95 Orchard
street, and ‘that he found him manifest¬
ing symptoms of cholera. The man he
said was a Russian, aud arrived on Sun¬
day on the steamer Russia. The board
< f health was notified.
SAVANNAH’S QUARANTINE.
Rigorous quarantine exists at Savannah
ngaii st the entire world outside of North
America. Vessels now on their way to
Savannah’s port from infected ports will
l e sent to the government quarantine
station at Sapelo, fif y miles down the
coast, so that they cannot coma in con¬
tact with vessels detained for other
causes at the city quarantine station.
PETITIONING THE PRESIDENT.
Philadelphia’s city council Thursday
afternoon president passed a resolution petitioning
the to issue a proclamation for¬
bidding immigration during the contin¬
uance of the cholera epidemic. Consid¬
erable comment has been occasioned be¬
cause of the favor shown John A. Clark,
ox councilman, who was taken off the
steamship British Princess, now quaran-
fined at Philadelphia, by his personal
friends, Dr. Shakespeare and Kejser, of
the board of health.
SAN FRANCISCO TAKING PRECAUTIONS.
I he health officers of San Francisco are
taking every precaution against the
choh ra. Quarantine Doctor Lawler has
ordered all vessels arriving from Alaska
rigidly inspected, He fears cholera
might be brought over from Russia by
way of Alaska. All incoming trains
from Portland and Ogden will be in¬
spected before passengers are allowed to
enter California. Chinatown is being in¬
spected and the city will be thoroughly
cleaned.
AT HAMGUBG AND HAVRE.
There has been a considerable change
in the panicky feeling prevailing at Ham¬
burg in consequent- of the reduction of
cholera. The official report of cholera
for Wednesday, showed a great falling
off, both in the number of new cases aud
deaths. A general feeling of relief was
experienced, but those acquainted with
the peculiarities of the disease, knew
temporary cessations of its fuiy were
characteristic. Only 139 newcisesand
forty five deaths were reported for Wed¬
nesday.
FRIDAY’S DISPATCHES.
' A New Y T ork dispatch of Friday
The situation says:
changed. at quarantine remains un¬
President Harrison’s order
caused a sensation among the steamship
agents in the city. The president’s cir¬
cular letter will practically stop all im¬
migration while the cholera epidemic
lasts. Steamship agents are disposed t >
protest ns it is estimated that they will
lose two million dollars a month while
the twenty days, quarantine regulations
are being carried out, one million dollars
representing the loss from steerage traffic
alone, while the remainder repiesents the
loss arising out of diminished evening
cabin passengers, and loss of freight and
incidental expenses.
COMMENDING MR. HARRISON.
The action of the president in order¬
ing strict quarantine meets with hearty
approval at Charleston, 8. C., and the
health officers and collector of port will
co-operate in carrying it into effect.
The quarantine regulations of Charleston
are very stringent at this season ofvt&e
year, the having kept out yellow fever’ter
past twenty years.
IT WAS NOT CHOLERA.
Joseph Etuainiz, of 95 Orchard street,
New York, who Dr. Reck reported
Thursday night as a cholera suspect is
not infected with the pert. His illness is
due to overleeding after being nearly
starved in Russia.
A FALLING OFF IN DEATHS.
The official cholera figures iu Paris for
Thursday show that there were fifteen
cases aud three deaths compared with the
returns for Wednesday, this shows a de¬
crease of six new cases, a falling off of
seven in deaths.
Russia’s official report.
Official returns from the Russian em¬
pire of August 30th are r.s follows: New
cases 5,183; deaths 2,722. Compared
with the figures of August 29th this is
an increase of 414 new 7 cases and 193
deaths. These figures though official are
known to be incomplete. City returns
for Thursday give a total of 144 new
oases and 14 deaths, c mpared with the
returns of Wednesday.
THE NEWS FROM BERLIN.
The imperial sanitary office reports
deaths from cholera in many towns in
Silesia, Zehlewig, Luneberg and Posen.
The Hamburg and Helegala steamers have
been suspended.
FIFTEEN DEATHS AT HAVRE.
Fifty new cases of cholen and fifteen

ing from Hamburg, and both reported

REPORT FROM GERMANY.
A B rlin special says: Cholera statis¬
tics for Friday, issued by the imperial
board of health, show there were ®26
new cases in Hamburg. Dea'hs num¬
bered 116, a decline of only two cases
from Thursday; the same number of
deaths.
GOOD NEWS FP.OM ENGLAND.
The local government board of Lon¬
don announces that with the exception
of one or two cases, that are now recov-
ering, there is not a case of cholera in
England or Wales. Reports received
from various places Saturday night were
of a more encouraging character than
heretofore sent out since the disease be¬
gan its ravages.
SUNDAY'S FIGURES FROM HAMBURG.
On Sur.day the ambulances of the city
of Hamburg took to the hospitals 335
cholera patients, of whom 198 died.
Five hundred and twenty-eight cholera
cases and 329 deaths not previously re¬
ported were registered during the day in
pursuance of police orders. from These bring
the total figures, reckoning the be¬
ginning of the epidemic up to date, 5,622
cases and 2,518 deaths.
SPREADING IN FRA.NCE.
A Paris cablegram states that cholera
has appeared in St. Vaast, a town in
Manche, on the Fnglish channel, ten
miles northeast of Valognez. One per¬
son has already died there from the dis¬
ease and two cases are now under treat -
ment.
IT WAS A MISTAKE.
The statement published at Savannah,
Ga., Saturday, and telegraphed all over
the country with regard to quarantine
being established against northern ports
was erroneous. The only action taken
was to request the captains of vessels to
stop at quarantine for inspection in the
event ot th' re being any cases of sick¬
ness aboard. The authorities are seeking
to discover the author of the canard
which bore all the appearauee of being
authoritative.
Monday’s telegrams.
The cholera cloud hangs heavily ovei
New York, and the news fr. m the pest-
ridden steamers down the bay is any¬
thing but encouraging. Fundav four
more passengers on the ill-fated vessels
fell victims to the pestilence aud their
bodies were taken ashore during the
night and cremated. One single fact was
the entire ignoranca of the cabin passt n-
gers of the big racer Normaudia that the
disease was an epidemic in the steerage.
The alarming reports published in the
daily papers are hurting the trade of
New York beyond calculation. Hun¬
dreds of merchants who usually visit the
city from all over the Union to buy goods
have signified their fear to visit the city
now, and Baltimore, Chicago and the
other great commercial cities are doing
more trade than usual.
Another account say3:
The state of aff iirsin New York, so
far as the threatened visitation of cholera
is concerned is as follows: There is no
real scare feeling in this city in spite of
the additional deaths from cholera on
board the steamships detained at quaran¬
tine. The health board representatives,
the health authorities and the quarantine
officers are working night and day in
their efforts against any spread of the
much-dreaded disease to the city, but
the public at large, while admitting that
the situation is serious, is going about its
business as usual.
REPORT FROM RU3SIA.
There were reported throughout Rus
sia Friday 3,812 new cases of cholera,
1,791 deaths In the city of St. Peters¬
burg 103 new cases and forty deaths were
reported Sunday. It should again be
pointed out, however, that these figures
include only the patients who were taken
to hospitals and who died in them.
Compared day, with official figures of Thurs¬
the returns of Friday for all Russia
show a decrease of 2,861 new cases and
923 deaths. Compared with new cases
and deaths reported iu St. Petersburg
Saturday. Sunday’.^ figures show a de¬
crease of seventeen cases and an increase
of nine deaths.
TALTON HALL HANGED.
The Murderer of Ninety-Nine Men
Swung into Eternity.
A dispatch from Norton, Y<i., says
Talton Hall, noted desperado and re¬
ported murderer of mm-ty-nine men,
was hanged at Wise Court House Friday.
Hall made a speech on the scaffold.
The drop fell at 12:34, and Hall was
dead eleven minutes later. His neck
was broken by the fall. He faced death
bravely. which Hall suffered the
The crime for
extreme penalty of the law was one o r
the most atrocious murders ever perpe¬
trated in that section of Virginia. On
the 25th of July, 1891, Enos B Hylton,
who a short time before had been ap¬
pointed a special policcmau of
the town of Norton, Wise county,
Virginia, had taken into custody
Miles Bates, a desperate char¬
acter of that region for the theft of a
watch and pistol. \ hile t iking his
prisoner down the railroad track, Talton
Hall came across a field diagonally from
the town and overtook them. When he
came up he dem ndrd the release of the
prisoner, which Hylton, of course re¬
fused. Before Hylton had time to draw
a weapon or say anything further, Hall
pulled out a thirty-eight caliber pistol and
shot him, the ball passing clear through
him, killing him iustantly. Seventy-five
murders have been committed in Wise
county since the war, but this is the first
legal hanging.
MORE COAL CREEK NEWS.
A Big Strike by the Miners Seems
Probable.
A Knoxville dispatch of Monday says:
The leaders of the miners have posted
notices in all the mines in Coal Creek
aud Olive Springs districts ordering
the men to cease work until further
notice. The feeling at Oliver Springs is
one of considerable uneasiness, and many
miners are flocking there from all parts
of the districts.
A force of eighty convicts is at work
rebuilding stockades which wvre burned.
A company of militia has been ordered
there from Harriman. It now looks like
there will be a strike of ail the miners in
Coal Creek, Oliver Springs and Jellico
districts. Gen. Carnes received a call
from Oiiver Springs for help. He again
ordered the Harriman company to the
scene. The capture of Jim Cecoucher
Sunday morning proves to bs a most im¬
portant one. He admitted that he took
dead aim at two men in the fight of the
mountain and thought he killed both of
them and that he put dynamite on the
railroad track.

A Knoxville, Tenn., dispatch says:
Commissioner Ford was acquitted indictment at Coal
Creek Wednesday. The
against Alleman was withdrawn. All
the prisoners have now been tried. There
are twenty-seven in jail here and a num¬
ber at Clinton. Many are out on bond.
According to a news special of Satur¬
day a powerful combine, to be known as
the Leaf Tobacco Company has been
forme t at Louisville, Ky., whose object
is to compete with the new tobacco com¬
bine at Cincinnati. The wealthiest ware¬
houses in Louisville are in the deal.
Capital stock, $2,500,000.
A charter was granted Thursday by
the secretary of state to the East and
West Railroad of Georgia. This line is
projected to run from Sparta, in Han¬
cock county, Ga., to White Plains, in
Greene county, and to Davisboro, in
Wasnington county. The road will pass
through the counties of Washington,
Hancock and Greene and will be about
fifty miles in length. The capital stock
is $30,000 with the privilege of increas¬
ing it to $500,000.
At no place in the country, probably,
is the progress of cholera watched with
more interest than in Nashville. It w;ib
an epidemic in 1873, when the city had
only 25,000 people, and there were about
nine hundred deaths in a few weeks,
there being seventy-two in one day. The
city council Friday afternoon appropri¬
ated $15,000 to be expended by the city
board of health and the board of public
works in putting the city in good sani¬
tary condition.
A New Orleans dispatch of Monday
says: The steimer Sicteri has arrived
from Cubi, bringing the lntest
information concerning the Hon¬
duras revolution. She reports that Gen¬
eral Nuilla, the insurgent leader, and
eight men were captured on August 26
and that the general would be court-
martialled and shot. The capture and
execution of General Nuilla finally winds
up the revolution. The men captured
with Nuilla will be released.
Augusti, Ga., was visited by a second
large fire Saturday afternoon. Some fif¬
teen thousand dollars went up in the fire,
smoke and water, snd for a time it look¬
ed as if the damage would even be greater
aud the figures were only cut down by
the good work of the department. The
property destroyed belonged to the Miller
estate. The stores of T. P. Livingston,
Walker & Walker and Jerry Jones were
totally destroyed, while the Augusta
Laundry, Dr. George King and Mr. Row¬
land were badly damaged by both fire
and water.
The Savannah Morning News prints
the result of Savannah’s trade for the
past year, which shows the total volume
of business to have been more than
$125,000,000. There is a falling off in
comparison with the previous year, short
cotton receipts and a great depreciation
of value of cotton and naval stores.
Th re was a large increase in naval stores,
but prices ruled low on account of over¬
production. The increase in lumber ex¬
portation w r as very heavy, footing up 15,-
000,000 feet more than 1891.
A dispatch of Monday from Columbia,
S. C., says: The sentiment of the state
has been recorded and is in favor of pro¬
hibition by a vote of 32,742 to 28,252.
This does not settle the question. The
issue was not before the democratic
party, but upon request of the etate
chairman of the prohibition movement
extra boxes w T ere placed at the polls to
obtain an expression of the will of the
democratic voters of the state. The can¬
didates for the legislature were not pled¬
ged to abide the result and therefore
they are not bound to vote for prohibi¬
tion in the legislature, even thought they
represent counties which endorse it.
TRADE IMPROVING.
Dan & Co’s. Report of the Easiness
Ontlook.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly trade re¬
view says: While industry and business
were improving daily and prospects were
brighter than ever, the sudden alarm
about cholera came to cause some hesita¬
tion. It is even said that buyers from
the south, who had started to New York
turned back because they were afraid of
detention by the quarantine, In all
other respects business prospects are
clearly better than a year ago and nearly
all accounts show an actual increase in
business. Crop prospects are better, but
an ample supply everywhere, and indus¬
tries are producing more than ever before.
The fear that exports may be curtailed by
the pestilence in Europe with causes pre¬
viously strong has depressed the markets.
Wheat has dropped to the lowest point
since’83. Corn has dropped 6|cts. for the
week, with better western reports. Cot¬
ton rose a shade, but has fallen to 7 1-8
cents again, with sales of 666,000 bales.
Oats have declined 1-2 cent; pork, 50
cents a barrel; lard, 87 cents, and hogs,
90 cents yet 100 pounds and oils 5 8 cent
lower. The greater part of these changes
came from the unnatural condition of the
market, for some tim^hela up in spite of
extraordinary stocks in sight. Stocks ot
cotton on hand in this country equal two
months’ consumption and in Europe
about three months’ consumption of
American, while current estimates of the
coming crop are constantly rising. It has
been evident that Europe will take less
of our product this year than last, but
the pestilence there will not greatly di¬
minish the need for food or clothing.
Manufacturers in this country have
never been in better condition, on the
whole, than that which reports now indi¬
cate. All textile branches are produc¬
ing more and consuming more material
than ever and the demand has
rarely pressed so closely on the supply.
Most of the woolen mills are running
night and day to meet orders and the
cotton mills are crowded, while stocks of
goods Trade in increases sight are Memphis phenomenally low.

New Orleans, though cotton is duil with
large crop estimates. Sugar and rice are

corresponding week of last year.
LABOR DAY.
It w*« Generally Observed Thronghout
the Country.
Day A Washington di.-patch says: Labor
the wa* generally observed throughout
north. Boards of tra 1e and other in¬
stitutions closed, so there were no market
reports. Parades, double games of b.se-
bali, picnics and athletic sports were the
chief features of the day.
In New York the day was a most beau¬
tiful and sunshiny one. It has grown to
be generally ob-erved. Both national po-
itical headquarters were closed in its
honor. Iu that c ty and Brooklyn

Throughout New England there was

servance.
At Pittsburg the observance of the day
was less general than heretofore and
there was no parade or local celebration.
In Jersey City, Newark and other New
Jersey cities, houses were decorated and
everybody had a good time.
Labor Day is not a legal holiday in
Delaware, but in Wilmington it was ob

In Montreal 8,000 people paraded

In Cincinnati and Indianapolis the pa¬

Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas

In Atlanta and Savannah, Ga., the

of the legislature.
GEORGE W. CURTIS DEAD.
A Prominent Writer, Orator and Re¬
former Passes Away.
Hon. George W. Curti* died at his
home at Livingston, Staten island, Wed¬
nesday. He was conscious at the end
and suffered no paiu. Dr. Frank G.
Curtis, his sou, was iu attendance aud
Mrs. and Miss Curtis were preseut.
George William Curtis has long had
the name of being one of the most ele¬
gant writers and speakers in the United
States. He was a politician who had
never acknowledged party allegiance
— iS the professional politician un¬
derstands that term—his creed
being that men 6hould not only try
to keep themselves pure, but should work
to elevate and purify politics. Though
often invited to do so, he has never ac¬
cepted political office. Mr. Seward
wished to make him consul general to
Euypt; President Hayes offered him the
English legation, and afterward that at
Berlin, but he refused to give up his ed¬
itorial position. Once he was a candi¬
date for congress, but he knew that the
district was hopelessly democratic, and
that he stood no chance of being elected.
In 1884 Mr. Curtis was chairman of an
independent republican convention held
in New York to protest against the
nomination of Mr. Blaine for president,
and since then he has never been a stal¬
wart republican. He supported Mr.
Cleveland in 1884 and has been a demo¬
crat in national polities ever since.
CATTLEMEN MURDERED.
Sequel to a Tragedy that Oecnred Two
Years Ago.
A dispatch from Sedan, Kansas, says:
Two years ago last spring, John 8. Frazer
and William H. Gibson, of the panhan¬
dle, brought a heard of Texas steers into
this county to feed them. The native
farmers became greacly indignant, fearing
the introduction of Texas fever and tried
to induce the Texas men to have. The
latter declined to go. Soon afterwards
Gibson was poisoned by the contents of a
whiskey flask given to him by a chance
acquaintance. A day or two later Fra¬
zer’s dead body was found in a pool
near the place where bis cattle were
feeding. J. T. Davis and S. N. West,
farmers, appointed themselves detectives
to run down the murderers and ou last
Wednesday Frank JCinslev and Jerry
Huston, Farmers’ Alliance leaders, were
charged with the crime. Warrants are
out for the arrest of a dozen other mem¬
bers of the alliance. Davis says the
murders were the result of a conspiracy,
headed by a joint committee from thir¬
teen suballiances. The murder of Frazer,
he says, was particularly atrocious and.
was accompanied by extreme torture.
SUGAR MARKET AFFECTED
On Account of the Twenty-Days’ Quar¬
antine Proclamation.
A Philadelphia dispatch says: The
sugar maiket generally was much upset
Saturday on account of the proclamation
of twenty days’ quarantine for vessels
from cholera ports. Well infoirmed per¬
sons do not believe, however, a famine is
imminent. There will, of course, be a
long delay in the importations of raw
sugars, which come from Hamburg, but
the effect of the shortage will be appa¬
rent chiefly in the increased sale of lower
grades than granulated, which has been
the staple for all uses for several year*
past. Even granulated, it is thought,
will not cost the retail purchasers more
than 6 cents a pound.
A special of Friday from Spokane
Wash., says that Concully, county seat
of Okanagan county, Minnesota, burned
to the ground between 1 and 3 o’clock
Tuesday morning. Nothing remains of
the town proper save a school house,court¬
house and drug store. The total loss
will reach $100,000 and the insurance is
not over 15 per cent. The town will be
rebuilt.
DISASTROUS CLOUDBURST.
A Texas Town Almost Swept Out of
Existence.
Alpine, Texas, was nearly swept away
by a terrible cloudburst which formed over
Devil mountains, six miles south of town
Sunday. The water rushed down the
mountains in huge volumes tearing up
trees by the roots and dashing everything
in frunt of it to death. Heavy timbers,
cattle, horses and burros floated through
the town and gave plain evidence of the
fearful havoc dona in the mountains.
The raDgers’ camp, four miles south of
the town, in a narrow cidod, was washed
awav. Mexicans fled from their homes
to tha mountains and a general panic
prevailed. Dean’s ranch above high
water the mark, twenty-miles south ot the
town, was a $o washed away.

charge of the passenger train conductors
on the Santa Fe and other railroads will
be inaugurated at once and will continue
until every one of the old men has been

believed to be the result of the investiga¬
tion which developed that all conductors
were cariying passengers for less than
regular fare and pocketing the amount
charged.
A well-dressed woman drove up to the

FIRE DAMP EXPLODES
In a Coal Mine in Beiginm—Many
Miners Lose Their Lives.
A cablegram from Brussels, Belgium,
states that a terrific explosion of fire¬
damp occurred Thursday in the Aggrafe
coal mine in Hainauit. The explosioi.
caused a heavy coal fall, that blocked
the galleries of the mine and entombe
many of the miners. Rescuing partie?-
were at once organized, and in a shor
time they succeeded in recovering the
bodies of ten men who were killed. It is
known that thirty men are yet in the
mine and efforts to save them, if alive, or
to recover their bodies, if dead, are bciug
made. Nearly all th^ men at wdrk havo
been accounted for. Some escaped
