tr efforts were promptly made to
Ltofl the first two source, and to turn
the latter water into all the pipes. An lm-
mediate improvement was noticed, and
the mortality declined after eight day., In-
Seadof advancing for weeks as has usnally
wn the case. There ia a cordon around

The mortality in Naples among the
better classes has been more than It has
hem at any other visitation of receut
tinU. It includes eleven priests, a score
of mins and as many doctors. The tempo-

irith children, and hundreds of others are
Jrivatolv cared for, Lady Otway having
eleven In a srnaT orphanage of her own.
According to the oln dal and municipal
tores there have been 9.512 deaths in It-
no to date, but people who ought to
Enow rav that In the terrible month of
Beotember fully 1,200 died at Naples alone.
Vmi a Roman paper estimates the total
deaths up to Wednesday at 10,800. Out of

In Dr. Koch stock during the week, since
the Marseilles commission doctors made
an elaborate report of many experiment!
with microbes, all of which were failures,
and since Dr Klein, a Bombay official and
an eipert. baa shown contempt for the
microbe theory by swallowing a quantity
of bacilli without harmful result. The
Marseilles commission found it could
mathematically trace, cholera patient's
condition by an hourly examination of the
blood, the healthy globules remaining sta
tionary, and the unhealthy ones flowing be
tween columns formed by others and
taking them gradually ofTnntil the column
is ruptured. The commission afllrms that
cholera is not contagions, that there la no
phlebocardltli, as claimed by Margagni,
and It ciatmi that, while we know better
than our predecessors what the chol
era is not. we do not know
what it Is. In the l’arls hospitals,
where Dr' Koch’s theory has been gen
•rally condemned, valuable experiments
have lately been made with sulphide of
carbon as an antiseptic and revulsive
agent, and it will be tried promptly in Ge
noa. Dr. Kocb has just declined a call to
Lflpslc University. It is reported that n
chair of hygiene trio be endowed in the
University of Berlin for him. Business in
Italy it in a terrible condition. Large
failures are announced at Turin and else
where. To day bands began playing in
public placet in Naples, and the theatres
of the town will be reopened to-night.

“I don't want to hear another word.

talking to friends here exoreased, confi

of Ohio, be said tbe Democrats are mak
ing tbe hardest fight that they ever waged
for that State, but tbe llepublicans are
mustering all their forces, and be sup
posed they could carry the State, but it
would be by a small majority. If they
won in Ohio he thought it would be on a
margin so alim that it would not help
them in other States. He coanted New

California and the South aa sure aa for
Cleveland, with a good show in Michigan,

quartermaster:
“Was that the British ram that struck

The quartermaster saluted:
"No sir,” he said. "It was a Jersey

“All hands abandon ship," ordered the
admiral, with the calmness of despair, for
he knew that all was lost In twenty min

The Situation In Ohio.
Washington Star,
Some Democrats are estimating a Re
publican majority in Ohio, at tbe com’ng
election, ol about G.000. Others think it
will reach 10,000, but no Democrats now
look with any hope for the success of their
party in the Buckeye State. The Repub
licans are talking of 10 009 majority, but
they hope for a good deal more. They ad
mit that any figures below 10,000 will not
boom the party in other States. But 25,-
000 or >0,000 would help greatly In New
York, Indiana, Wisconsin, Micnlgan and
Illinois. Che liquor interest is arrayed
against one or two Republican candidates
but the party leaders do not believe they
will lose any votes by that They hold
that the enmity of the liquor men will
strengthen the ticket in tbe rare! districts
and with tbe prohibitionists, and that as
many votes will be gained from these
sources as are lost by the antagonism of
distillers, brewers and saloon keepers.
VIALS OF WRATH.
How Brother Johnson Smote Brother
Bacon and Paid Dear for It.
N.Y. Herald.
There was warfare In the Brooklyn
Memorial Baptist Chnrch (colored) last
Sunday, and brothers Roberts and John
son, with a large and piebald constituency,
came to tell Justice Walsh about it ycarer-
day. Several of tbe brothers and Bisters
claimed the Hoor, but Brother Johnson got
the call and spoke to this hurpose:
’ Yo"Onah, lie no chile ob wrath. On'y
white chokah collah and a black suit, my
angry pass Ions am aroused an’ I objecs to
de profanation.”
It was here insinuated that Brother
Johnson was waxing personal and nnpar
lianientary.
"Well, jess hole on an I'll put It straight.

but Brudder Cbawles Geddcs Roberta. At

Bacon be replies ‘gwuffiim heab, ole man,

Brother Johnson made way for Sister
Louisa Field), who seemed sad and ex
cited—
”Fo’ de Lawd, Jedge, yo' 'Onor, lse fell

say dat I did see wld doss eyes Brudder
Bacon lay ahold ob Brudder Johnson and

Then forth came Brother Roberts, and
said he: “I spoke to de breddern ob de

A Story From Chlcaao that Rands Like
Dims Novel.
CniCAOO, October 3.—A terrible atory of
youthful depravity was unfolded to-day
by the arrest of five little girls for larceny.
Maggie Doyle, eged 15; Therein Garrig.
It; Kate Hammond, 15; Mollis Sairaaky,
10, am 1 , Gcrthe Novock 14. were arrested
on tbe complaint of Bern Yuen ting, tbe
keeper of a Chinese laundry at No. 151
North Clark street. The girls all live with
their parents, and pretended each day aa
they left home that they were going out
to work In different establishments. They
arc poorly dressed, and show a profligacy
which Is seldom seen in children of their
ages. The girls had organized themselves
into a regular band known as “The Chinese
Fire" for pillaging tbe Chinese laundries.
Maggie Doyle was elected captain, end
planned all tbe work. Three weeks ego
the police arrested the girls end they were
fined $100 each, but their fines were eua-
pended on condition of good behavior.
This bad no effect on them and they pro
cured chloroform and visited a number of
laund ries. three of them going into tlie Lack
rooms with tlie employes, while the others
chloroformed and r- bbed the proprietors.
They scented $10.60 from Ham Yoiren King
In tills way. In court one of the girls ad
mitted that they had been visiting China
men, and that a doctor named Reynolds,
with whom they had been intimate, gave
them chloroform. A number of Chinamen
have been arrested, Ihd about 25 more ere
•aid to be implicated. Tbe girls were sent
to tbe Bridewell in default of $100 fine.

ahowed a fearful depravity.

“But I didn’t see any little boy with

A Woman’s Nature.
San Francisco Chronicle.
I think I have several times alluded to
the very curious kind of thing woman Is.
I came across a French play which illus
trates one phase of tbe female nature most
amusingly. A young man has run away
to escape a woman be has been flirting
with. He is making love to a fresh
Dune, when the deserted one hunts him
up. After a few bitter reproaches she
saya;
"Henry, darllngl, love you. You know
it 1 nava never hidden It front you. Per
haps yon have not returned it. Bat mine
is not selfish love. Tell me that you love
another and I will toy no mote. Tell me
(rankly you do not love me, and I will leave
yon without a murmur."
COLONIZINC LIBERIA.
What Is Being Done Towa?d Building Up
the African Republics
Woabiugton Post.
Mr. William Coppinger, consul-general
for Liberia and secretary of tbe Coloniza
tion Society, leaves here in a dey or two
for New York to superintend tbe work of
•ending to Liberia the regular semi-annual
colony of colored people. Every spring and
every fall this society, formed over sixty
years ago, tends a small ship-load of black
men and women to tbelr native land
Africa. "There la great unrest among
lhe colored people of tbe country,"
said Mr. Coppinger, as be sat In tbe rooms
of tbe sncieiy In this city. Above bis
bead, as be sat, hung the portraliol Henry
Clay, one of the founders of the society.
In the room ad olning were a number of
portraits of tbe early supporters of the
association, among them tbe father of
Mayor Latrobe, of Baltimore, painted by
himself at the age of 82 In the cabinets
with which tbe room was liaed were asm
plea of coffee and cotton and other arti
cles of a similar nature, productions of
the colonists in Liberia. On a mantel
just beside him stood photographs of
the Legislature and Supreme Court
of Liberia. all their mem
bers black. The portrait of the present
president showed tbe face of an apparent
ly bright and intelligent black man. “He
la a native of Liberia,” said Mr. Copptn
ger, "born tbere of parents who were
slaves in this county: be Is a man ol
ability and a successful president. This
ia Rev. Dr. Blyden,” he said, pointing to
the photograph of a full-blooded negro.
“He 1> the president of our college there,
you know, a man of thorough euucuiiuli
and ability.”
“You bave some educational facilities jn
Liberia, then?”
“Oh, yes, very good ones. There are
public schools, and by tbe laws of the re
publio all children of a certain age are
required to attend school a given time in
each year. Education ia compulsory.
Toen there are higher grades of schools,
and.the college, which cost $20 0 0, and is
well equipped and well patronized. The
people who go there appreciate very thor
oughly the value of e ucation. In fact,
we do not take any now who are not ot
this class. Tup number ot applications is
great that we have opportunity to select
our people pretty carefully."
“Are your applications for opportunity
| go to Liberia numeroas then ?''
‘Numerous?’ be said with a smile,
glancing at a pile of papers before him
“I should say they were. They come not
by hundreds but by thousands and tens of
thousands. Tbe desire for removal to a
new country where men and women of
CO or may be on an eqnalltv in every
sense with the other men and women of
that country seems to be on the increase.
We get thousands of applications from
ever; direct.on, and thousands more than
we can meet with the limited means at the
disposal of the society, which, of coarse,
is maintained by contributiois. Y’es. tbe
applications are very numerous. I be
lieve thit if we bed t rips and meant to
supply passage and means to help all ap
plicants to get a start there, as we do with
those whom we do send, tbere would be a
ball million of the colored people of this
country ready to go at once."
"How many are you sending now ?’,’
"That depends altogetbcr on onr means.
This fatl we shall send between thirty and
forty, I think.”
"How many have you sent in all since
the society was formed?”
“About 10,0 0 who were residents cf this
country. Then there are about 5.000 more,
natives of Africa, who were captured on
board of vessels which were bringing them
to tbis country t> sell them as slaves.
They were as a rale sent to Liberia. So
tbere have been over 20,000 peasons landed
tbere to make homes In that country since
onr society began the work sixty-three
years ego."
“And have those who have mads the
experiment been satisfied with the re
sult?”
“Y'es, the very large proportion of those
who have gone tbere have been contented
from tbe start. We bave been careful, es-
p»cia ly In later years, to only take men
after they thoroughly understand all tbs
hardships that they would bave to undergo
In emigrating to a new country, and one
of a hotter climate, and tbe result ia that
we have them sati-fied, and giving aatls
faction also to the managers of the enter
prise."
"How does the change In climate seem
to effect tbeir health and constitutions?"
"Not unfavorably. They are, as a role,
very healthy, and the percentage ot mor
tality very small "
"And wbat are the relations Of those
who go there to the natives, by whom they

"Well," says the youth frankly, "frank. "Very satisfactory. Their influence

Ohio.
Kaw York Star.
The Mobile Register saya that "the Star
hopes that Ohio will go Republican." It
cannot point to any utterance of the Star
wbleb will justify such a statement. Mr.
McLean and his faction at the Chicago
convention and on many subsequent occa
sions have claimed that they will carry
Ohio for Cleveland, but that they could
not do ao for Thurman or Bayard. We
have simply pointed out the necessity of
inlfillingthla pledge In order to assure
victory to the Democratic ticket.
The Star does not believe in holding out
false hopes to its readers or deceiving
them. With Thurman, Hendricks, Bay-
ardor Randall at the bead of onr 1’reai
■lentlal ticket, we could have afforded to
let Ohio go by tbe board and still have
been assured o( success. Bet If Ur. Cleve
land ia slated to secure an almost aolid
German vote as well as a tremendous de
fection from the Republican ranks, we
ought to have proof of It In Ohio a week
If the Buckeye State la carried by the
Democrats tbis month, there ought to be
little doubt of the election ot Cleveland
and Hendricks. If. on thsotber band, tbe
Democrats lose the Iprestlge of tbeir
two recent victories tn that Bute, then un

I hooting a Valuable Bull.
CoanwALL, October 2. —A lew day
Mr. John Mitchell, tbe owner of Me
brook farm, was compelled to kill ble Urge
Holstein bull Iroqnois. for which be had
only recently refused several tbousmi
dollars. The bull suddenly become ng
while bis keeper was leading him to ware,
• riil Izittml llialattaf nnin Inn air whsea lie I
self acting as pall bearers, and placed on a
table arranged for its reception In tbe
preparation room. Every one then with-
drew crcciit tbe undertaker and the body
servant. The coffin was then opened, the
body token oat. disrobed and placed In a
sheet saturated with a preparation of
alum, Intended to prevent the singe
ing or scorching of the body aa It
was placed In the oven. The body was
then placed on wbat is called an
Iron crib, that is. an ironframe, wltb small
bars about four Inches apart running along
its entire length, which ii about seven feet
bigh, and It stands on feet about six Inches
high. The oven door was opened, the crib
with the body in it was run In, tbe door
closed, and the process of iocineration at
once began. The Demoyne Crematory,
which Is of rather a primitive cbsracter,
costing, fur tbe building, retort, furnace
and everything complete, $1,200, requires
twenty-four hours beating before it is in a
condition for tbt incineration to properly
begin; Ibis, In Gross’s case, had been at
tended to before our arrival, consequently
there was no delay.
Tbe Incineration began aa soon as tbe
door ot tbe oven closed. About two hours
and a half after the body btd been placed
In the oven Mr. Dyer, tbe superintendent,
intorraed us that the incineration was
complete. We looked through a small
hole, placed in the door of the oven for the
purpose of enabling tbe superintendent to
watcb tbe progress of the reduction to
ashes, and found his report to be correct.
Tbere was not a vestige of the body to be
seen. Mr. Dyer then informed us tbat It
would require twelve hours for tbe furnace
to become sufficiently cool to permit the
removal of the crib and the gathering
of the a*bes. We were present, either
.rt tbs building or in the grounds
surrounding it, duriug tbe entire time oc
cupied by_the Incineration, and there was
not the least unpleasant odor or anything
calculated to shock in tlie slightest degree
tbe tenderest sensibilities cf the most re
fined human being. On tbe contrary, ev
erything passed off in such a way tbat
death and burial seemed to be robbed of
more than bait of their horrors. We left
for Washington about 3 o’clock in the af
ternoon, after seeing tbe crematory locked
and giving instructions to the superintend
ent to permit no one to enter until our re
turn the next (Friday) morning at 10
oclnek
“We returned at the appointed time and
found the furnace sufficiently cool. The
crib was removed and then the ashes,
which had fallen through It to the bottom
(which is made of fire*bricka) of the oven,
a distance of about six feet were carefully
gathered, placed in tbe metal receiver,
which was then covered and carefully and
tirmly soldered. The ashes, which in fact
were nothing but carbonate of lime, were
of course as clean and nice as pebbles
freshly gathered from the seaside, all im
purity and everything calculated to make
a<Jt'*d body horrible and disgusting hav
ing been resolved i ito their original ele
ments. Dr. Gross was a man six feet two
inches in height and well proportioned,
consequently his ashes weighed about
seven pounds, the average weight being
five pounds. We drove away with the
precious ashes in charge, all thoroughly
convinced that Dr. Gross hai added an
other laurel to the chaplet which aur-
rounded his brow by his advocacy In life
and example in death of the revival of
cremation.”
