All of these cases were department originally re¬
ported to the health as sus¬
pected cholera, and had been under the
investigation of physicians connected

The physicians of the health board
have no end of trouble in ascertaining
bow the malady was contracted. Every
precaution has been taken to prevent bedding the
spread of the cholera. The of
each patient was burned and the pre¬
mises thoroughly fumigated, The
mayor gave reassuring replies to all
questiori n and seemed to feel con-
fident that the pest would make
no appreciable headway. Dr. Bry¬
ant says tho health department has two
physicians at each house where sanitary
inspection has been made at each house

thoroughly used and a complete list of
nil who hive entered tho premises has

tered.

change -1 and in business circles was not

of Voronezh, Kasin, Samara, Saratoff and
Orenburg and Don Territory is 400 new
ea«es and 200 deaths each. In the lieu¬
tenancy of Caucacus the daily average is
1,550 cases and 550 deaths. It will be

THURSDAY’S DISPATCHES.
r lho Now York evening
in the city papers report
one two new case in Thursday and
reported suspects Brooklyn, Another is
as far east as New- Haven. The
health board is distributing circulars
throughout the city warning tho people
and advising them how to avoid the
plague. These circulars are printed in
English, German, Italian, etc.
There is no sort of apprehension felt
l»y the masses just now, but this may all
be changed within a week. The appear¬
ance of the plague in different secdons
of the city would seem to indicate that it
will fi veep the whole i-latui and the ad¬
jacent towns if it once breaks the control
of tlie health department.
Reports received indicate that the
presence of cholera in the city has stirred
up all sections of the country. Havana

scrutinize trains from N-w York.

M i vor’s Oflii'o, September 15 —To the Public:
Urea led cholera has app ared in this city and
tho health department, has so far shown its
abili'v to a;rest the disease promptly, llie
health depanment and department of charities
and correction m e fil ly equipped to arrest and
care for every case an A stamp it out of the im¬
mediate I oca. i y in which it is discovered.
Tho pr. clamation goes on to say that
reception hospitals, with doctors and
ceive nurses, and are isolate all equipped each aud ready to re¬
case as it is discov¬
ered; that physicians are closely watch¬
ing the thickly populated tenement dis¬
tricts; that federal and state authorities
have established quarantine stations for
those coming from abroad; that the
chamber of commerce is taking active
measures to lend assistance; that no en¬
ergy or needed expen i ure will be want¬
ing, and that excessive fear on the part
of the public is not justified.
Toe mayor calls for confidence in all
these provisions to care for the public
weal. The record of the past ia stamp¬
ing on: typhus and other infectious db-
uases, the proclamation reads, should
justify failh in the ability of tbe health
department to master the monster cholera
that has come to us from foreign lands.
The public will be intelligently advised
as to the progre-s of the disease. The
paper cio<td:
Rest assured that all will be done by the
authorities to meet every emergency and with
the confidence of the public an i fheir aid in
enforcing sanitary regulations, ihe cholera will
be mastered, health restored and peace, good
order aud happine?s maint&nel.
REPORTS FROM OTHER PLACES.

excitement Thursday over what seemed
G> be a genuine case of cholera. Romeo
Rooney, a farm laborer, was found writh¬
ing in agony in a field on the outskirts of
tue hospital city. Tho police were notified and a
ambulance called. Tne man was

t lsease. News that there was a proba¬
ble case of cholera spread like wildfire.

A St. Pe’ersburg cablegram of Thurs¬
day 6fates that there is a marktd decrease
in the number of new cases of cholera in
ft Mia, particularly in Volga towns and
i a Caucussus, where the disease has raged
with violence.
SPREADING IN ANTWERP.
Measures taken at Antwerp, Belgium,
to repress the cholera are totally insuffi¬
cient and the policy of the municipal
authorities who, de-pite the fact that
cholera victims are daily taken to hos¬
pitals, deny the existerce of the disease,
has caused the general public to forego
personal precautions that no doubt would
tend greatly toward checking the disease.
IN HAMBURG.
Two hundred and four new cases were
officially reported at Hamburg, Wednes¬
day, and eighty-one deaths, an increase
of six new cases and a decrease of fifteen
deaths over Tuesday.
QUARANTINING ALL AROUND.
Savannah’s quarantine against New
York is on. The steamship Tallahassee
was inspected Thursday morninir, being
the initiatory st' p under the new ragula-
ions. All on board were found to be
well, and the vessel passed to the city

wick, Ga., issued orders Thursday that
*
all vessels from all ports north of Hat-
terns must be stopped ihey at quarantine for

Sapelo 1 island quarantine station.
Nashville , s PRECAUTIONS.
The Nashville city board of health has
made provisions for inspecting suspicious
illness on railroad trains. They have
also arranged for quarters for cholera
cases that may be developed. The board
also adopted a resoluti in to prohibit the
sale of watermelons either from stores or
wagons, and will confiscate and destroy
all fouud being offered for sale.
WARNING THE STEAMPIIIP COMPANIES.
A dispatch from Loon Lake, N. Y.,
says: Notwithstanding the terrible per¬
sonal affliction under which he is labor¬
ing, the president on Thursday sent a tel¬
egram to the secretary of the treasury
saying the attorney general had sent him
an opinion to the effect that he had full
power under the law to prevent the land¬
ing, in this country, of all immi¬
grants coming from ports infected with
cholera, or any other contagious disease.
He suggested that the secretary of the
treasury convey this information to the
trms-Atlantic ship companies, together
with an official notice that unless they
acted in strict accordance therewith, he,
the president, would issue an executive
order prohibiting entirely all immigration
from infected ports without exception.
The secretary of treasury is urged to give
the matter careful and thorough consid¬
eration and to advise the president
promptly of his action in the matter.
The mayor and board of control of
Cleveland, 0., have decided to notify of¬
ficials of railways entering that city that
no more immigrants from infected ports
will be received in Cleveland. A mili¬
tary medical quarantine has been estab-
iished at the eastern state line.
HAVANA QUARANTINE.
The board of health of Havana met
Thursday and resolved, first, to declare
all vessels arriving from New York since
the 11th instant unclean, and all arriving
from other United States ports since the

serve a strict quarantine against the
United States.
FRIDAY'S NEWS.
Up to 4 o’clock Friday evening only
one suspicious cholera case was reported
—that of Edward Hoppe, who died at
1625 Madison avenue Thursday. The case
is under investigation.
The arrival of the Bohemia with eleven
deaths on the voyage and four new cases
makes the 1 ast of the Hamburg immigrant-
carrying vess 4s. Tho practice ceases
with this ve sel. The deaths are ascribed
to gastro-mtestinal trouble, but have the
appearance of genuine cholera.
Tlie Normaunia’s passengers on the
Cepheus were safely landed at latt in the
afternoon, and fifty, who would not come
up by boat, arrived by railroad from
Babylon. They all complain of the
Hamburg Packet Company, but commend
the Normaunia’s officers and the coolness
of the passengers and crew.
Reports received show that tho pres¬
ence of cholera in New York has caused
needless alarm in many places where
ordinary illness has been hastily asserted
to be Asiatic cholera. Same diminution
of travel has already occurred, owing to
fears of the state quarantine, but thus far
New York has successfully combatted
the disiase. The emergency cholera
fund is steadily growing. No new cases
are reported at quarantine.
POWERS OP THE PRESIDENT.
In response president to a telegraphic inquiry
from the on the 9tii insant as to
the exient of the powers conferred upon
the surgeon general of the marine hospi¬
tal service and secretary of the treasury,
with the president’s approval, to make
quarantine regulations with reference to
immigration from infected ports, Attor¬
ney General Miller on Fiiday submitted
bis opinion, which holds that consistently
with state laws and and regulations it is
eutirely competent for federal regulations
to impose additiona’ restrictions, and
hence, also, the imposition of an addi¬
tional period of quarantine on the total
exclusion of all “vesssels or vehicles
coming from any foreign port or country
where any contagious disease may exist,”
or “vessels or vehicles conveying any
person or persons, merchandise or ani-
affected with any infectious or con¬
tagious disease,” from “any port of tbe
States” is within the powers con¬
upon the officers named in your
acting with your approval.

immigration has subsided. The At¬
lantic steamship companies learning that

fortable for prospective tenants.
VERY GOOD TRADE
Notwithstanding the Cholera Scare
Throughout the Country.
R. G. Dun & C’s. report for the pnst
week says: Cholera has landed and the
business or New York goes on exactly as
if it had not. The cars are crowded with
passengers and the streets are badly
blocked with cartloads of merchandise,
as they were this week one year ago,
which meins that the heaviest trade ever
known at this season is now in progress.
The same is true of other cities, almost
without exception, and tho outlook for
the fall trade is at all points regarded as
exceedingly good. But many people afraid, are
afraid that all other people will be
and consequently the speculative markets
decline.
There has been much talk about the
pestilence as an excuse for low prices in
breadst tiffs and c )ttou. But the fact is
that the enormous stock brought over
from last year afforded sufficient reason
for exceedingly low prices.
In cotton ihere has been heavy selling,
and September options are below 7 cents,
though prices for spot cotton are un¬
changed. Trade at Louisville is improv¬
ing; at Nashville fair, and at Little Rock
satisfactory, wh le at Montgomery caution
prevails, and at Galveston the late cotton
crop cans sslow collections, though trade
otherwise improves. fair, *
At New Orleans, business is only
and money is in strung demand, but cot¬
ton is lower while sugar and rice are
active and strong. Iron is more steady,
the output September 1st being only
151,648 tons, against stocks 155,136 tons on
August 1st, and unsold have been
reduced about 63,000 tons.
In drygoods there has been a notable
increase iu the number of buyers, and the
market is more nearly bare of woolen
goods than it has been for years, the me¬
dium worsted and serge trades having
the preference. There is a heavy demand
for cottons, and medium bleached goods
are higher, with browns firm. Carpets
are stronger, and many mills demand an
advance of 2J cents.
Respecting cholera it is well to remem¬
ber that sanitary precautions are more
thorough than ever before aud at most
foreign ci ies have sufficed to prevent the
spread of the disease. the

ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND
Gather in Grand Reunion at Memor*
able Chickamauga^
The reunion of the society of the Army
of the Cumberland commenced Thursday
morning at 10 o’clock. General Rosecrans
presided at the first meeting of the socie¬
ty. Reports from presented the work on the nation-
al park were and appio^ed. Out
on the battlefields the veterans looked up
the locations of their various commands,
and all sorts of wagons and hacks being
employed to convey the throng to the n i-
tional park and adjacent grounds. Gen.
H. Y. Boynton delivered the annual ora¬
tion before the society and a large gath¬
ering of citizens and visitors at night.
General Boynton reviewed the
achievements of the army of the Cum¬
berland, and in so doing sought to cor¬
rect some of the errors of history in the
memories of Grant and Sherman by the
light of official records only recently
made accessible. In doing so he claimed
the credit of saving Grant from the dis
grace of a surprise at Shiloh, for Rose-
cran's victory at Chickamauga and for
Thomas’ success at Missionary Ridge
Grant and Sherman’s memories wherein
misrepresentation concerning the army of
Cumberland were given currency was
caustically reviewed. The address* was a
scholarly and eloquent effort and will no
doubt, attract much criticism. The
audience rewarded the speaker by fre¬
quent applause.
It is understood tbe meeting to be held
in 1803 will be at Cleveland, Ohio, in
December. Almost all of the guests left
for Washington Friday to attend the
Grand Army of the Republic.

Dalion brothers is probably Ross, without of foun¬ New
ds’ ion. Ex-Governor
Mexico, telegraphs from Deming that
nothing has been developed to justify
the report, and as far as he has been able
to learn, the Dalton brothers and their
of train robbers have not been seen
in the territory. Similar telegrams have
been received from various points in New
Mexico.

would certainly have followed. In speak¬
ing of the is matter, Governor Flower said:
“This the first time anything of the
sort has happened to me. I am not at all
upset, however. I suppose I have made
some enemies by calling out the militia,
but I must do my duty, and peace must
be kept. AU the infernal machines in
the world would not make the slightest
difference to me.”
TURPENTINE OPERATORS
Will Meet and Discuss the Feasibility
of Diminishing the Output.
The call has been issued for a meeting
of the Turpentine Operators’ Association
in Savannah, Ga., October 12th. A
large attendance is expected. Florida’s
turpentine association has elected sixteen
delegates to attend this meeting. The
subjects of labor and output will then
be thoroughly discussed and a decision
arrived at which will control the action
of the members of the association.
The operators begin to cut boxes in
November and must arrive at definite
conclusions at this meeting as to the
scale of wages and the decresse in the
output. It is understood that efforts will
be made to diminish the output by near¬
ly 50 per cent, and that wages will be
cut down considerably. As tne number
of hands to be employed will conse¬
quently be leas than in past years, there
will be but few brought in from other
states. Nearly all of the output of this
season is marketed. The undercurrent
shows a better tone than for some time
past.
BURNED THE PEST HOUSES
Because they Feared the Introduction
of Cholera.
A Nashville dispatch says: The coun¬
ty board of health gave instructions that
the pesthouse four milet below Nashville,
on the river bank, be cleaned up in order
that they would be prepared to care
for cholera eases should the plague
reach Nashville. The pesthouse was loca¬
ted near the thriving suburb of West
Nashville,and the people there were great¬
ly alarmed, as over fifty families live close
by. Friday night they held an indigna¬
tion meeting and appointed committees
to try and secure promises that the pest¬
house would not be utilized. About the
time the meeting adjourned some one set
fire to the pesthouse and all three build¬
ings, each of which was 150 feet long,
were destroyed. It would cost $4,000 to
replace them.
THE DAVIS MONUMENT.
The Work of Its Construction to be
Pushed Forward.
The work on the monument to ex¬
president Jeffers <n Davis, to be erected
ed in or near Richmond, with Va., is to be push¬
forward vigor. This is tbe de¬
termination reached at a confeience held
in that city Saturday afternoon between
the committee appointed by General
Gordon, of the United Confederate Davis veter¬
ans, and the officers of the Monu¬
ment association, of Biobnofld.
