Forty Gases of Cholera in Quarantine
OCOnOr's Opinion OF Tweed ana

ElcA0Ss
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Cbarles O,Cono,
said yesterday that Tweed was taking All
the preliminary steps that men take when
they seek to elude Justice by fight to a for
eign land. The police would not be active
In arresting him even now if the Commit
tee OF Seventy could give them power, and
would not help us by informing us of his
movements. O'Conor believed that Tweed
would certainly fly, and there are not MANY
lmpedlments in his way. He didn't think
he was the only prominent criminal who
would quit the country; but wherever thew
go In Europe they will find they cannot re-
main with impunity, but be followed wher-
ever the law can follow. AS to Fields. his
seat in the Assembly will be disputed on
the ground of fraud in the elections. of
which proof is so abundant that Horatio
Seymour will surely take his seat.

Cholera in Quarantine.
.The steamer Franklin from Baltic via
Halifax is detained in quarantine with
thirty cases of cholera.
LATER.-It is officially announced that
the German steamer Franklin at quarantine
has forty cases of cholera aboard. There
were twenty-eight deaths on the voyage.
Nearly everybody aboard is more or less af-
tected. Most of the cases are serious and
further deaths are probable. A rigid quar-
antine is enforced and every effort to allie
viate their suferings, but care is taken to
prevent the spread of the contagion.
Still Later Details.
The following is a correct account of the
cholera at quarantine: The steamship
Franklin, of the New Baltic Lloyd Compa
ny, arrived Saturday night with number
of cases Of cholera. She sailed from Stet- |
tin, Oct. 10, touching at Copenhagen on the |
18th, when she had y cabin and |
Gil steerage passengers, and crew of 81 |
men. When ten days out the first case of |
cholera made its appearance among the |
steerage passengers, and when the steamer |
put into Halifax TO obtain coal, there had |
been nearly one hundred cases of cholera
and choleraic diarrhea, of which forty were !
fatal.
Since leaving Halifax one death occurred |
and to-day twelve patients suffering from
cholera were sent to the West Bank Hos
pital. The well passengers were also trans
terred to the United States steamer Dele
ware, lately fitted up as a receiving ship by
the quarantine authorities. The Franklin
after the transfer of the passengers was or
dered to the lower quar- antine, where she
will be thoroughly disinfected and detained
until it is thought safe to leave her up to
The city.
Astounding Frauds I'm Brooklyn.
The election frauds in Brooklyn are of
Inc most astounding character. In one dis
,rlct the vote was increased fifty per cent.
over the highest ever before known, in an
]ther seventy-five per cent, in another sew
and in the fourth ward the vote
vas greater than could by any physical pos
ibility have been fairly polled.
The members of the Brooklyn Investiga-
ing Committee say they have evidence
moving that about four thousand fraudu-
ent votes were cast, and are sanguine that
he canvassers viii be compelled to give GER
lhcateS of election to a majority of the Re
publican candidates on the county ticket,
nd all the Republican candidates, including
he Mayor on the city ticket. Their report
will be ready about Friday, when warrants
viii be issued for the ballOt-stuffers.
