Thursday's dispatches.
l A New York dispatch says: Ths
Steamer Moravia was sent to the lower
bay, two miles south of Swinburne
Island, Thursday morning. Dr. Sanborn
reports that there are no new cases on

The steamers Gallia and Lilin are de
tained until the five days’ quarantine, re
quired by the health regulations, have
elapsed. The Gallia has 275 Russians
aud 175 Poles aboard.
ABATING IN RUSSIA.
A St. Petersburg cablegram states that
• ’flicial cholera returns from all Russia
»how a gratifying decreaso 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
rerved, however, that the death rate con
tinues excessively high, the figures of the
l ist report showing a mortality of slight
ly over 82 per cent. Statistics from St.
Petersburg also show a decrease iu both
new cases and deaths,
SUSPICIOUS CASK IN NEW YOKE.
Captain Cross, of the police depart
ment of New York city, reported Thurs
day night that he was informed by Dr.
Hick, of 94 Rivington street, that he at

Savannah's port from infected ports will
I e sent to the government quarantine

PETITIONING THE PRESIDENT.
Philadelphia’s city touncil Thursday
nfternoon passed a resolution petitioning
the president 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,
ex councilman, who was taken off the
steamship British Princess, now quaran
tined at Philadelphia, by his personal
friends, Dr. Shakespeare aud Keysor, of
the board of health.
SAK FRANCISCO TAKING PRECAUTIONS.
The health officers of San Francisco are
taking every precaution against the
cholera. Quarantine Doctor Lawler has
ordered ail vessels arriving from Alaska
rigidly inspected. He fears cholera
might be brought over from Russia by
way of Alaska. All incomiug trains
from Portland and Ogden will bs in
spected before passengers are allowed to
t liter California. Chinatown is being in
spected and the city will be thoroughly
cleaned.
AT HAMGUBO AND nAVKB.
There has been a considerable change
in the panicky feeling prevailing at Ham
burg in consequence of tho reduction of
cholera. The official report of cholera
for Wednesday, showed a great falling
off, both in the number of new cases nnd
deaths. A general feeliug of relief was
experienced, but those acquainted with
the peculiarities of the disease, knew
temporary cessations of its futy were
characteristic. Only 189 new cases and
forty five deaths were reported for Wed
nesday.
Friday's dispatches.
A New York dispatch of Friday says:
The situation at quarantine remains un
changed. President Harrison’s order
caused a sensation among the steamship
agents in the city. The president’s cir
cular letter wiU practically stop all im
migration while the cholera epidemic
lasts. Steamship agents are disposed to
protest as it is estimated that they will
lose two million dollars a mon'h 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 MU. HARKISON.
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 of the
year, having kept out yellow fever for
the past twenty years.
IT WAS NOT CHOLERA.
Joseph Etuainiz, of 95 Orchard street,
New York, who Dr. lteck reported
Thursday night as a cholera suspect is
not infected with the pest. His iltness is
due to overleeding after being nearly
starved in Russia.
A FALLING OFF IN DEATHS.
The official cholera figures in Paris for
Thursday show that there, were fifteen
cases and three deaths compared with the
returns for Wednesday, this shows a de
crease of six new cases, a falling off of
seven in deaths.
RCSSIA'B OFFICIAL REPORT.
Official returns from the Russian em
pire of August 30th are ss follows: New
cases 5,183; deaths 2,722. Compared
with the figures of August !9th this is
an increase of 414 new cases and 193
deaths. These figures though official are
known to tie incomplete. City returns
for Thursday give a total of 144 nsv
cases and 14 deaths, c mpared with the
returns of Wednesday.
THE NEWS FRO* DERI.IN.
The imperial sanitary office reports
deaths from cholera in many towns in
Silesia, Zehlewig, I.uneberg and Posen.
The Hamburg and Helegalas'eamers have

SATURDAY’S CHOI. BRA NEWS.
The steamships Normannia and Rugia
both arrived at New York BaMrday morn
ing from Hamburg, and both reported
that deaths from ‘Cholerine” had taken
place on the voyage. Both ships are now
Retained at report that
there had oecn several neatlis trom chol
era on board the Rugia was received
about 10 o’clock. That report said there
had been twenty three deaths during the
trip and that there were .cn cases yet on
board the ship in quarantine.
REPORT FROM GERMANY.
A B rlin special says: Cholera statis
tics for Friday, issued bv the imperial
board of health, show there were 628
new cases in Hamburg. Deaths num
bered 116, a decline of only two cases
from Thursday; tho same number of
deaths.
GOOD NEWS FROM ENGLAND.
The local government board of Lon
don announces that with tho 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 woro
of u more encouraging character than
heretofore sent out since the disease be
gan its ravages.
SUNDAY'S FIGURES FROM HAMBURG.
On Sut.day the ambulances of the city
of Hamburg took to the hospitals 885
cholera patients, of whom 198 died.
Five hundred and twenty-eight cholera
casus and 329 deaths not previnu-ly re
ported were registered during the day in
pursuance of police orders. These bring
the total figures, reckoning from the be
ginning of the epidemic up to date, 5,622
eases and 2,518 deaths.
SPREADING IN FRANCE.
A Par s cablegram states that cholera
has appeared in St. Vaaxt, a town in
Mancne, on the English channel, ten
miles northont of Valogncz. Ono per
ron 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, nnd telegraphed all over
tho country with regard to quarantine
being established against northern ports
was erroneous. Ths only action taken
was to request the captains of vessels to
stop at quarantine for inspection in the
event ol th're being any cases of sick
ness aboard The authorities are socking
to discover tho author of the canard
which bore all the appearance of being
authoritative.
Monday’s telegrams.
Tho cholera cloud hangs heavily ovet
Now York, and tho news fr in the pest
ridden steamers down the bay is any
thing but encouraging. Sunday four
more passengers on the ill-fated vessels
fell victims to the pestilence nnd their
bodies were taken ashore during the
night and cremated. One single fact was
the entire ignorancs of tlie cabin posse n
§ers of the big racer Notmandia that tho
lsease 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 tho city
now, and Baltimore, Chicago and the
other great commercial cities are doing
more trado than usual.
Another account says:
The state of nIT lira in 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 spito of
the additional deaths from cholera on
board the steamships detained at quaran
tine. The health board representatives,
the health authorities and tho quarantine
officers ore working night aud day in
their efforts against any spread of tho
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 It UtSI A.
There were reported throughout Rus
sin Friday 3,812 new cases of cholera,
1,791 deaths In the city of Bt. Peters
burg 103 new cases aud forty deaths were
reported Sunday. It should again bo
pointed out, however, that these ti ;uros
include only the patients who were taken
to hospitals and who died in them.
Compared with official figures of Thurs
day, the returns of Friday for all Russia
show a decrease of 2,861 uew cases end
923 deaths. Compared with new cases
and deaths rep irtcil in 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-Sine Men
Swung Into Eternity.
A dispatch from Norton, Vs., says
Talton Hall, noted desperado and re
ported murderer of nin'-ty-nino men,
was hanged at Wise Court House Friday.
Hall made a speech on the scaffold.
The drop fall at 12:34, and Hall was
dead eloven minutes later. His neck
was broken by the fall. He faced death
bravely.
The crimwfor which Hall suffered the
extreme penalty of the law was one o f
the most atrocious murders ever perpe
trated in that section of Virginia. On
the 25th of July, 1891, Knos Is. Hylton,
who a short time beforo bad beeu ap
pointed a special policeman of
the town of Norton, Wiso county,
Virginia, had taken into cudody
Miles Bates, a desperate char
acter of that region for the theft of a
watch and pistol. V* hile Uklng his
prisoner down the railroad track, Talton
Ilall came across a field dlag mally from
the town and overtook them. When he
came up he demanded 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 aud
shot him, the ball passing clear through
him, killing him lustautly. Seventy-five
murders have been committed in Wiso
county since tbe 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
and 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 were burned.
A company of militia has been ordered
there from Harriman. It now looks like
there will be a strike of all the miners ir
Coal Creek, Oliver Springs and Jellico
districts. Gen. Carnes received a call
from Oliver Springs for help. He again
ordered the Harriman company to the
scene. The capture of Jim Cecoucher
Sunday moruing proves to be a most im
portant one. He admitted that he took
dead aim at two men id the fight of the
mountain and thought he killed both of
them and that he put dynamite on the
lailroad track.
THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH.
Notes of Her Progress and Prosperity
Briefly Transcribed
Important Happenings front Day to
Day Tersely Told.
The L uisville, New Orleans and Texas
and 111 nois Central railroads have con
solidated the officials of the two com
panies.
The boycott on the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad lias been declared off by
the Southern Passenger Association.
Hereafter all lines iu the association will
give that road ticket representation.
A Knoxville, Tenn., dispatch says:
Commissioner Ford was acquitted at Coal
Creek Wednesday. The indictment
against Allcman 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
forrao i at Louiaville, 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, 62,500,000.
A chatter was granted Thursday by
the secretary of state to the East and
West Railroad of Georgia. This lino is
projected to run from Sparta, in Han
cock county, Ga., to White Plains, in
Greene county, and to Davisboro, in
Washington county. The road will pass
through the counties of Washington,
Hancock and Greene and will be about
fifty miles iu length. The capital stock
is $50,000 with the privilege of increas
ing it to $500,000.
At no place in tho coun'ry, probably,
is tlie progress of cholera watched with
more interest than in Nashville. It was
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. Tho
city council Friday afternoon appropri
ated $15,000 to bo 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 di*patch of Monday
says: The steamer Sicteri has arrived
from Cubs, bringing the latest
information concerning the Hon
duras revolution. She reports that Gen
eral Nuilla, tho insurgent leader, and
eight men were captured on August 26
aud that the general would be court
martialied and shot. The capture and
execution of General Nuilla finally winds
up the revolution. The men captured
with Nuilla will be released.
August*, Ga., was visited by a second
large fire Saturday afternoon. Some fif
teen thousand dollars went up in the fire,
smoke and water, and for a time it look
ed as if the damage would even be greater
nnd the figures were only cut down by
the good work of tho department. The
property destroyed belonged to the Miller
estate. The stores of T. P. Livingston,
Walker & Walker and Jerry Jones were
totally destroyed, whilo the Augusta
Laundry, Dr. George King nnd Mr. Row
land were badly damaged by both fire
and water.
The Savannah Morning News prints
the result of Savannah’s trade fur 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
cottou receipts nud a great depreciation
of value of cotton and naval stores.
Th re was a large increase in naval stores,
but prices ruled low on accouut of over
production. The increase in lumber ex
portation was 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 82,742 to 28,252.
This does not settle tlie question. The
issue was not before the democratic
party, but upon request of tho rtate
chairman of the prohibition movement
extra boxes were placed at tho 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 rosult and therefore
they arc not bound to vote for prohibi
tion in the legislature, even thought they
represent counties which endorse it.
TRADE IMPROVING.
Dm k Co’s. Report of the Business
Outlook.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly trade re
view says: While industry aud business
were improving daily and prospects were
brighter than ever, the sudden alarm
about choiora 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
deteution 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 bolore.
The fear that exports may be curtailed by
tbe pestilence in Europe with causes pre
viously strong has depressed the markets.
Wheat has dropped to the lowest point
since ’B3. Corn has dropped CJ cts. for the
week, with better western reports. Cot
ton rose a shade, but has fallen to 7 18
cents agaiD, with sales of 000,000 bales.
Oats have declined 1-2 cent; pork, 50
cents a barrel; lard, 87 cents, and hogs,
90 cents ocr 100 pounds and oils 5 Scent
lower. The greater part of these changes
came from the unnatural condition of the
market, for some time held up in spite of
extraordinary stocks in sight. Stocks of
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
tbe 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 brauches are produc
ing more and consuming more material
than ever and the demand has
rarely pressed so closely od the supply.
Most of the woolen mills are running
night and day to meet orders and the
cotton milis are crowded, while stocks of
goods in sight are phenomenally low.
i rade increases at Memphis and also at
New Orleans, though cotton is dull with
large crop estimates. Sugar and rice are
strong anti active with money in demand.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country during the past seven days
as reported to R. G. Dun & Co., number
for the United States, 148 against 197 the
corresponding week of last year.
LABOR DAY.
It was Generally Observed Tbronghont
the Country.
A Washington ' di-patch says: Labor
Day wus generally observed throughout
the north. Boards of trade and other in
stitutions closed, so there were no market
reports. Parades, double games of b se
ball, [denies and athletic sports were the
chief features of the day.
In New York the day was a most bosu
tiful and sunshiny one. It has grown to
lie generally observed. Both national po
litical headquarters were closed in its
honor. Iu that city and Brooklyn
great crowds witnessed large parade*
of organized labor. Outdoor athletic
sports, running races, regattas and buso
ball afforded ample opportunity for
hearty enjoyment. Banks, exchanges
and large stores were closed.
The a>y was observed in most of the
cities in the north and west. In Chicago
the healiDg of old labor feuds caused a
monitor parade of 40,000 men.
Boston also had ils biggest labor pro-
Cission, (resides a regatta and baseball.
Throughout New England there was
very general observances and picnics
were the prominent features of the ob
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
served as a half holiday.
In Montreal 8,000 people paraded
through decorated streets lined with
sightseers. Picnics and games were
held in the afternoon.
In Cincinnati aDd Indianapolis tho pa
rade was the largest of its kind, and in
Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas
City and San Francisco there was a duo
observance of the day, a suspension of
business, parades, picnics and games.
In Atlanta and Savannah, Ga., the
day was observed for the first time in the
history of th? state, as the day was only
made a legal holiday at the last session
of tho legislature.
GEORGE W. CURTIS DEAD.
A Prominent Writer, Orator and Re
former Passes Away.
Hon. George W. Curtis died at his
home at Livingston, Staten island, Wed
nesday. He was oanscioua at the end
and suffered no pain. Dr. Frauk G.
Curtis, iiis son, waa in attendance and
Mrs. and Miss Curtis were present.
George William Curtis has long had
tho name of being one of the most ele
gant writers and speakers in the United
States. lie was a politician who had
never acknowledged party allegiance
—.is the professional politician un
derstands that term—his creed
being that men should not only try
to keep themselves pure, but should work
to elevute and purify politics. Though
often invited to do so, he has never ao
cepted political office. Mr. Seward
wished to make him consul general to
Keypt; President Hayes offered him the
English legation, aud afterward that at
Berlin, but lie refused to give up his ed
itorial position. Once he was a candi
date for congress, but he knew that tho
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 ho has never been a stal
wart republican. 110 supported Mr.
Cleveland in 1884 and has been a demo
crat in national politics ever since.
CATTLEMEN MURDERED.
Sequel to a Tragedy that Occnred Two
Years Ago.
A dispatch from Sedan, Kansas, says:
Two years ago lust spring,John S. Frazer
and William H. Gioaon, of the panhan
dle, brought a heard of Texas steers into
this county to feed them. The native
farmers became greatly indignant, fearing
the introduction of Texas fever and tried
to induce the Texas min to have. Tha
latter declined to go. Soon afterwards
Gibson wits poisoned by the contents of a
whisker flask given to him by a chnneo
acquaintance. A day or two later Fra
zer’s dead body was found in a pool
near the place where his cattle were
feeding. J. T. Davis and S. N. West,
farmers, appointed themselves detectives
to run down the murderers and on last
Wednesday Frank Kinsley 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,
beaded by a joint committee from thir
teen Buballiances. The murder of Fraaor,
he says, was particularly atrocious aud
WNM accompanied by extreme torturo.
SUGAR MARKET AFFECTED
On Account of the Twenty-Days’ (Quar
antine Proclamation.
A Philadelphia dispatch says: The
sugar tuaiket generally was much upset
Saturday on account of the proclamation
of twenty days’ quarantine for vessels
from cholera ports. Well informed 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 chit fly in the increased sale of lower
grades than granulated, which has been
the staple for all uses for several years
past. Even grauulated, 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 moruing. Nothing remains of
the town proper save a school house,court
house and drug store. The total loss
will reach |IOO,OOO 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
Sund-ty. The water rushed down the
mountains in huge volumes tearing up
trees by the roots and dashing everything
in front of it to death. Heavy timbers,
cattle, horses and burros floated through
the town and gave plain evidence of the
fearful havoc done in the mountains.
The rangers' camp, four miles south of
the town, in a narrow canon, was washed
awai. Mexicans fled from their homes
to the mountains and a general panic
prevailed. Dean's ranch above high
water mark, twenty-miles south ot the
the town, was a so washed away.

A Matter of Life or Death.
Do you know that the state of the blood run
ning in your veins is the cause of your sickness
or your health ? This is a most important mat
ter, although overlooked by people who show
a great deal of good sense otherwise. Your
blood has to ho kept pure, or your whole system
gradually becomes a wreck. It costs very little
to check disease and correct the state of the
blood if the matter is taken up in time; but it
costs a great deal, and is often imjiossible, if
taken up after disease has gained a foothold.
