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.

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 tended a man named Etwinan, who lived on tho fourth floor of No. 95 Orchard street, and tliut he found him manifest ing symptoms of cholera.

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 been suspended. FIFTEEN DEATHS AT IIAVRE. Fiftv t ew ea«cs of cholen aid fifteen de ths at Hsvie, France, Thursday. 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.

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. TELEGRAPHIC GLEANINGS. The News of the World Condensed Into Pithy and Pointed Paragraphs.

The Brotherhood of Street Railroad Employes of Indianapolis went into spe cial session Wednesday morning for the purpose of declaring a strike.

A Kansas City dispatch of Thursday says: It is stated that a wholesale dis 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 dismissed. The reason for dismissil is believed to be the rerult of the investiga tion which developed that all conductors were carrying passengers for loss than regular fare and pocketing the amount charged. A well-dressed woman drove up to the door of Nichols <fc Martin, brokers in Montreal, Canada, Thursday afternoon, and summoning the clerk to the wagon, asked him about exchange percentage and other business matter, and then drove rapidly away.
