PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA.
The Appearance of the Plaice in Europe
Causes Great Alarm
Yfe nre Now More Exposed than Ever
to the Infection.
The New York papers of Friday were
filled with alarming cholera reports from
Europe. As near as can be judged, we
are exposed to the infection in various
ways. The discasi in epidemic form
was first conveyed from Persia to Russia,
then last until it is prevalent in Antwerp,
Hamburg and Havre, all points of ship
ment to this country. A special from
8 ivannah reports that our Georgia sea
port has taken steps to guard against
the introduction of the plague. Health
Officer Brunner has issued an order to
quarantine all European vessels twenty
miles below the city for five days. If
the least suspicion attaches to a vessel, it
will be sem to Sapelo station, fifty miles
from the city, where there is a govern
ment station. New Orleans and other
southern cities have likewise taken steps
to guard against the disease.
IT ITAB BEACHED ENGLAND.
A London ciblegratn i f Friday states
that there is no doubt that the cholera
lias at last reached England. The disease
was brought by the steamer Gemma,
which arrived at Gravesend Thursday
from Hamburg. It was reported that the
steamer was iufested, but the authorities,
after examining the passengers, allowid
them to land. A few hours after two
aliens who had arrived on the Gemma
were taken sick. They were at once re
moved to the hospiial at Gravesend,
where the doctors pronounced their mal
ady cholera. In spite of everything that
w as done for them they died shortly after
they were admi ted. '1 his fart caused
considerable anxiety, but there was no
{lanicky feeling. The local government
Hoard and health authorities of the vari
ous English ports will gee to it that more
strict inspection is made of vessels and
passengers from infectel port".
Cablegrams of Friday from Antwerp,
Se'gium, state that cholera seems to Lie
at a standstill in that city. No new
cases have been reported since Thursday
morning.
INCREASING IN RUSSIA.
Cable dispatches of Friday from Bt.
!Peiersburg, Russia, state that cholera re
turns for Thursday show another upward
jump in the number of new cases report
ed, On Wed nc sday 5,679 new cuses were
reported. Thursday there were 0,822
new cases. The death figures also show
nn increase. There were 2,977 deaths
reported Thursday against 2,743 for
"Wednesday.
Twenty eight new cases ot cholera and
twelve deaths have been reported in l)er
lin for the twenty-four hours ended Fri
day night.
FROM HAMBURG AND HAVRE.
The authorities of Hamburg have
issued orders forbidding citizens of that
city to drink water from the Elbe unless
it has been previously boiled. Bathing
places along the liver have been closed.
The police will make a house to house
ins • c ion to insure their being clean,
and to enforce sanitary measures when
ever they nic required. Up to noon
Thursday tin re were ninety new cases
nnd forth-live deaths. There were forty
eight new ease's ami twenty one doitha
at Havre, Fiance,Thursday.
WHAT OUR OFFICIALS ARK DOINIJ .
The board of health of New York
c ity, on Friday issued an order provid
ing for the sanitary inspection of the
city. Directions were giveu to have
clog' ts, sinkß, yards, tenement houses,
roofs and pipes thoroughly cleaned and
disinfected. A uew order whs issued to
steamship companies, directing that no
exposure of any straw, bedding or other
articles lueel by immigrants shall be made
until it has been adequately disinfected
and cleaned, nnd that where it has been
exposed to any Contagb us disease, it
shall be burned on the vessel. Sanitary
Superintendent Edson said that he had
visited the quarantine and found that
every precaution was taken to prevent
the inc ming of the disease. “It will
be a miracle,” said Dr. Edson, “if the
disease eioes not reach quarantine, but
we will undi rtake to see that it will not
pass there and expeci to be successful.*
Officials of the government at Wash
ington having charge of the enforcement
of quaranti e laws are unquestionably
much concerned over the serious hold the
epidemic of cho’era has taken in Europe,
and view the situation as regards the
admission of the disease into the United
States with some alarm, though they feel
fully prepared to cope wiih it if by
any chance cholera should become epi
demic here. The hospital marine service
is better able now than since its estab
lishment to prevent the entrance of the
disease into the Unite! S ates. Surgeon
General Wyman has taken every step
thought to be necessary to prevent a case
of cholera making its appearance in this
country, and has strengthened the serv
ice and made it as efficient as possible.
APPEALING TO THE PRESIDENT.
The possibility of cholera reaching the
American shores has become so alarming
that the executive committee of the inter
national conference of the state boards of
health met at Indianapolis Fiidsy to take
precautionary measures The committee
is not an executive body, but it is a part
of its duty on an occasion like this, to
take the initiaiive in recommending to
local, state and national officials, and
boards ol health what should be done.
A telegram was sen! to Dr Reilly, secre
tary of the Illinois state board of hiaith,
who ha 9 been active in advisiug that pre
committee of the Association of Demo
cratic Clubs authorized an increase in the
executive committee by the addition of
five members. Mr. Lawrence Gardner,
secretary of the national association,
announced the appointment of the
following gentlemen as the addition to
the executive committee: John L Sharp
stein, Walla Walla, Washington; C.C.
Richards, Ogden, Utah; Benton McMil
lin, Carthage, Tenn.; N. W. Mclvcr,
Cedar Rapids, lowa, and Robert B.
Smith, Helena, Montana. Hon. William
L. Wilsou, of West Virginia, chairman
of the executive committee, will call that
body together in New York in a few
days.
SATURDAY'S DISPATCHES.
A London cablegram gays: It was
announced Saturday morning that an
other one of the passengers who ar
rived at Gravesend on the steamer Gem
ma, had died from cholera at Gravesend
hospital. There is deep indigna'ion at
the carelessness of the medical i ffieers who
inspected and paase i the Gemma. Con
sider ble uneasiness has been created by
the knowledge that some of the Gemma's
passengers are in London. The where
abouts of all of them is not known, but
a strict watch will be kept for the first ap-
! pcarancc of the disease. It is consid
eredthnt nn ou'br ak is inevitable.

FINK REFUSED TO SIGN
Tbe Agreement o! the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association.
However, He Is Given Another Week
to Make Hi* Derision.
The meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Southern Railway and .'team
ship association which met in At’anta,
Wednesday, adjourned Friday night at
8 o’clock. The meeting of tbe commit
tee was in no way harmonious and prae
tically nothing was accomplished. Major
Fink, the receiver of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia rnilr.ad, refused to
sign the names of the Cincinnati
Southern and the Alabama Great
Southern to the agreement. Major
Fink signed to name of the East
Tennessee on condition that the Bruns
wick and Wt stern, the Alabama Midland
and the Savannah, Americus and Mont
nomery signed it also. The officials of
the Richmond and Danville also tefu'ed
to sign the agreement. Before the com
niittec adjourned a conference c .mmittee
was appointed to see if some adjustment
of existing differences could not be ar
rived at. The committee failed to ac
complish anything and the report cast a
gloom over the members of the associa
tion present, for they all know that the
refusal of those lines means war.
When it became evident that nothing
could be done in the case, a motion
was made to give the lines who had not
signed another week to con-ider the mat
ter. The motion was carried and the
meeting adjourned.
If Major Fink does not put his lines
in tho association all other lines will
withdraw and the association will be of
the past.
Before leaving, all the railroad men
who were in attendance on the meeting
expressed the opinion that if a rate war
should be inaugurated it would be the
greatest out ever known in this country.
A MINE HORROR.
Oy*r One Hundred Miners Killed by
an Explosion.
A London crblegram brings news of
a fearful minitig accident which occurred
Friday morning at Parkslip coal pit, near
Bridgend, a mining town in Glamorgan
shire, Wales. The day shift of minors
had not been long in the mine before a
most terrib'e explosion was heard. The
day shift comprised 150 men. Tho ex
plosion caused the earth and rock to fall
and the mouth of the pit was closed. Not
a single man of the 150 in the mine had
made his escape anu it iB feared that there
lias been n great loss of life. Tho work
of clearing tho pit’s mouth was pushed
as rapidly as circumstances would permit.
All around the pit were gathered women
and children hoping for the best, yet ex
pecting tho worst. The mine officials
hold out all the hope possible, but they
fail to make the mothers und wives be
lieve that there is much hope.
A later dispatch from Bridgend says:
Though volunteers have been work
ing since morning, it is impos
sible to reach the miners who are impris
oned in tho Parkslip pit. From indica
tions it is believed that the whole interior
of tho pit was set on fire by tho explosion
and that the flames are still raging. At
3 o'clock Friday evening the rescuing
party brought up two men found near the
bottom of the pit. They were badly
burned aud unconscious.
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN.
A dispatch received Sunday night says
that only forty-one miners have been
rescued from the Parkslip pit at Bridgend
Wales, and that two have since died.
The exploring parties are still searohing
the mine, though all hope of rinding the
other survivors is abandoned. The uum
ber dead is therefore placed at 107.
TROOPS HOMEWARD BOUND.
Gen. Pai ne* and Three Hundred Troops
Leave Coal Creek.
General Carnes issued nu order at Coal
Creek Saturday that all men who were
filling positions which demanded their
return home could be furloughed. So
300 left. They take back to Nashville
two field pieces. Some 200 troops have
been left «t the scene of trouble. They
have changed their camp to tho top of a
hill near the depot, and have one Gatling
gun aud one field piece. There are still
more than one hundred prisoners at Coal
Creek who are being examined as fast as
l*o>sible. Several were released Satur
day, some of them on bond. It is proba
ble that some will go to jail und await
tbe meeting of court In September.
It is now believed that the law has tri
umphed. That General Carnes has acted
with good judgment and is a splendid
officer is attested by all the facts.
B>b Lindsay, the postmaster at Coal
Creek and a brother of Bud, was released
on a thousand-dollar bond. There is ev
idence to show that ho has been acting
with the turners while appearing to be on
the side of tho law. The troops at Coal
Creek will remain indefinitely.

LINDSAY ALMOST LYNCHED.
The Soldier Boys Had Him Bnt General
Carnes Came lo His Rescue.
Sadden Ending of fhe Trial of Prlson
ers at Coal ( reek.
Special dispatches of Friday from Coal
Creek state that the trials of the prison
ers have come to a sudden termination.
Since Thuraday the trial of D. B. Mon
roe has been in progress before Justice
Kincrid, of Clinton. Many witnesses
were examined aud much damaging evi
dence adduced. The proof shows th it
there was an oath-bound organ zition.
and these men were numbered and did
not go by names. Yet there is scatcely
a man about Coal Crtek or Oliver
Springs who does not know
who wa- iu the various
mobs. They know posPiv.-ly aach from
their respective neighborh od, hut on
the witness ,-tand they ha i the most de
fective m< mory; but sufficient evidence
was found against Monroe as a leader to
send him to the gallons. When the
evidence wa- in, 11. B. Lindsay, United
States attorney lor the eastern district of
Tennessee, mede a short talk, claim
ing that there was no charge proven
which wa" not bailable. Tbe prosecution
quoted the law showing that any man
with guns or other deadly weapons who
was actively taking part in n mob which
caused death was guilty of murder in the
first degree. Justice Kincaid decided
the case was not bailable, and remanded
Moore to jail to await trial
There were a large number of other
prisoners They became panic stricken
at once, and waived the court under the
advice of the attorneys. Bud Lindsay
watt allowed bail in the sum of $3,000,
which his brother furnished. The others
who gave bond were: George E. Irish,
$2,000; Robert Smith, $2,000; Creed
O’Dell, Joe Rodgers, Jacob Summerly,
Dr. J. G. Adkins, Dr. J. M. McFerrin,
Win. Edward". E. U Laughter, John F.
Wetherford, Dr. It. B. Adkins and J. E.
Hightower, SI,OOO each. Nearly all of
the other 150 prisoners also waived ex
amination and will try to secure bonds.
Lindsay’s lively experience.
Much dissatisfaction was created among
the troops at letting Bud Lindsay out on
bail. Soon this dissatisfaction grow to
subdued threats of lynching. Groups
of soldiers gathered about near the hotel
where Lindsay kept himself concealed.
As the word was passed around that the
desperado Intended to leave on the even
ing train those crowds of soldiers became
larger and larger. As the train pulled in
at 4 o’clock Lindsay, accompanied by his
brother and several friends, appeared,
walked across the street to the depot and
boarded the train. Just as the train pulled
out and Lindsay was entering the car two
soldiers, who entered tho car from the
other end to pull him off, approached him
and said: “Here, we want you to get off
this train.” The points of two bayonets
pressing against his breast convinced the
outlaw that he did not want to leave
Coal Creek on that train, and with the
two men close behind him he stepped
down to the ground. As the train
pulled out the 200 soldiers conducted
him down the railroad with the deter
mination of taking him out of town and
shooting him.
CARNES TO THE RESCUE.
Just at this moment word reached
General Carnes at headquarters of. this
affair, and immediately hurrying to the
scene, he met the crowd about two hun
dred yards down tho track. Tho men,
learning of the approach of the general,
rushed the prisoner into the guard house
adjoining the impromptu court room.
General Carnes took the giant desperado
from the guard house und said to him:
“You are safe; go where you please; I
pledge you my protection, and th it
means the protection of my men. I give
you my word ot honor that you will not
be mobbed." Tho general then ordered
his men to their tents, and for the second
time Bud Lindsay’s life was saved.
Lindsay, in company with Deputy Sheriff
Edwards, went to the house of his
brother, from which he afterwards es
caped on foot to the woods.

Be Ready at Meal Time.
There is nothing that upsets the house
hold machinery like keepine meals wait
ing orce they are ready to be served. If
there is an hour set for breakfast it is the
duty of every one to be on hand prompt
ly when the time arrives. It not only
fosters « habit of regularity but it is an
act of justice to the efforts of the cook to
partake of the viands when they are in
prime condition, just from the oven and
not spoiled through ten or fifteen min
utes’ waiting on the back of the range or
a cooling off after they have been set on
the table. Promptness insures a better
meal every time, and the late comer
shnu d rever growl over chops dried out,
c ffee cold or buiscuits soggy, for they
arc largely due to his owu tardiness.
Hotel life spoils one for the regularity
and system necessary in
a private family, and the man or woman
who has boarded many years prior to
their marriage will have to materially al
ter their mode of procedure if they mean
io keep their servants and have their
house run systematically, and, as a
natural consequence, smoothly. One
caonot blame a cook for leaving a place
when the members of the family straggle
down one by one, and the dishes are on
the table from one to two hours. It is
no encouragement toward devising new
and dainty things to eat when they can
never be judged properly, and many a
fault found with the cooking is directly
traceable to the irregularity of the house
hold that prevents the serving of meals
when they are ready.—Philadelphia
Times.
