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. INCREASING IN RUSSIA.

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.

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. WEAVER’S GEORGIA CAMPAIGN.

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. iNthe new Maine town of Uu.nfocd Falls,( where not even a log hut st>o i a voir ag >, a SIO,OOO residence is building, an 1 700 m ju are at work upon mill" an l other structure*.

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. The United States department of agri culture inves igation of food adultera ttor shals to the conclusion that about $700,000,000 is paid annually for mate rials under that supp raition that the ar ticles bought are something differeut from what they lediy are. Most of the adulterations are not positively harmful, but are put in to cheapen the articles. Manufacturers do not rail them adulter ation, but dignify them as “streaks of economy.” .Sample I'nrlinjie Mailed Free. Address Small Bile Beans, New York.
