The world has learned that cleanliness
is better than quarantine regulations in
staying the progress of plague, and
the enforcement of wise sanitary rules
in Western Europe appears to have done
more even than was expected in pre-
venting the spread OF epidemic cholera
When the disease appeared in Germany,
the universal belief was that it could
not fail to spread rapidly to France,
England, and America, with which the
infected cities are in constant commu-
nication The precautions taken to pre-
vent this, however, have proved effective,
not so much by excluding the infection
as by preparing the people to resist it.
Before midsummer vessel with cholera
on board entered the harbor of Hull,
England, but up to the present moment
that city has been free from any cases OF
the disease in her borders. And so it
has proved in many other instances.
Quarantine has not excluded the disease,
but sanitary measures have deprived it
of victims, and it now appears to have
shrunk back toward its Russian quar-
tiers, baffled by the health boards of
Western Europe. lle 700 soy

ANOTHER INDIANA TRAGEDY.
Murder of Capt. y. G. Riley. OF scott
County, near New Washingt0n,

Fatal Stabs.

From the Louisville Ledger. 7th.l
We are called uponyto record the par
ticulars of another lof those fearful
tragedies that of late have become so
frequent in our neighboring State On
Thursday, Captain j. Matt Parker, of
Charlestown, Clark county, Captain j.
c, Riley of Vienna, and A. S. Fouts
and Thurston Bates, of Lexington, Scott
county were in attendance at the fair at
New Washington, Scott county. Late
in the afternoon they all started in o
carriage for Lexington, the entire party
being under the influence of liquor, Mr.
Bates driving the team gso aagra
About one mile from the fair ground
the carriage was driven into creek by
Bates, and upset, This resulted in b
quarrel between Parker and Fouts, which
continued to increase in vehemence while
the carriage was righted up. Finally
Parker accused Fouts of having upset
the carpiage upon which Captain Riley
interfered, and said to Parker: If you
have anything against Fouts, you had
better take it out of me. The parties,
Riley and Parker, then got out of the
carriage, Parker from the front and
Riley from the rear. Parker stepped up
to Riley, when Bates approached them,
begging them to have no further diff
Guilty. A moment after Riley fell heav-
lily to the ground, dead. 60 Br. l..a
An examination of his body revealed
a wound through the heart, another in
the, bowels q third in the back of the
neck, and a fourth through the lungs,
either of which would have produced
death. Besides these wounds there were
others not SO severe. The body of Cap
tain Riley was placed in the carriage,
and, accompanied by Parker, Fouts and
Bates, was carried to Lexington. On
arriving there they drove to the office of
the father. of young Fouts, who went into
the office and informed his father that
Captain Riley's dead body was in the
carriage. When inquired of as to how
Riley came to his, death, the party an-
swered that some one had throwna stone
into the carriage aud killed him. Par
ker, however, finally admitted that he
had done the, killing, claiming that be
had acted solely in selfdefense The
most singular part of the whole affair is
the declaration of Fouts and Bates that
they did not see the fight between Riley
and Parker, though the place where it
occurred bears the marks of fearful
struggle, the ground being torn up and
covered with blood and punches of hair.
