GreenviIIe-rhe Cholera Scare About

ON6Rs
From the Knoxville Press and Herald.
GREENvILLE, Tenn, June Is, 1ST3.-
Let me assure you that the reports, Which
have gone abroad about the cholera at this
place, are much exaggerated.
Two Of the deaths here, probably result
ed from csrelessDess and neglect to procure
medical assistance in due time, the third
from fright. If death had not resulted, the
cases would have been called cholera NOR
bus. Mr.. Piper had by imprudent ex-
posture, contracted a severe cold, which he
did not think serious enough to call ply
stefan till too late. Mrs. Arrowwood did
not receive proper nursing, and was also
too late in calling medical aid. Several
persons have been similarly attacked, but
the malady yields readily to treatment, and
when proper care Is exercised little danger
is apprehended. The disease is not CEN
tagious nor epidemic yet.
Timid persons, when attacked by d.
arrh9a, fancy they have the cholera, when
nothing serious need be feared. Some have
used green vegetables imprudenily, and as
usual, must suffer therefrom.
Mischievous boys around the depot, when
trains are passing, have taken delight in
telling iuquisitive and terror-stricken pas
sengers that We are dying by hundreds
here.
1 do not, indeed, think there is any seri-
Gus ground for apprehension, and doubt
whether we have anything here worse than
cholera nOTbuS.

HORSE.FLESH.
The Steeds that Draw Our Fire En-.
gfnes.


Thanks TO an efficient fire department,
there is not a city in the Union which n
boast Of finer horses in that department
than those which stand in the stables at
tached to the en0ine houses of Nashville.
The steamer Deluge, No. 1, is drawn by
iour large, handsome bays with fine chest
nut sorrel for the hose cart; the Hsmil'oi
oy four magnificent coal blacks, 10. -.
Wnlte marks excepS ABOUT the feet,
Inc hose cart being also drawn by
q black; the Stockell by a span of
splendid brown horses, with dark
iron gray for the hose cart, and the
mock and ladder wagon by a pair of fine
blacks. Ali these horses are kept in the
nnest condition, with their glossy coats so
clean that white silk glove would not be
soiled in rubbing them down.
The entire department, is in very effective
condition at the present time, with the
single exception that the hose-cars of the
Hamilton is nearly worn out. However a
new cart has been ordered from BROOKLYN,
n. T., and will doubtless be here in few
days.
The quarters of all the firemen except
ing those in the Ninth ward, are nicely far
nlshed with carpet, wsrdaobes, glasses,
center tables, etc. The beds are provided
by the city, but the remainder of the fur
nlture has been bought by the men them
selves, the citizens having aided them by
subscriptions.

The Concert at BeIIvene.

A goodly number of people attended the
concert given last night in the new Odd
Fellows Hall at Bellevue, twelVes miles from
the city on the Northwestern Railroad, for
the benefit of the NJ. E. Church. Some
twelve or fifteen persons from this city were
in attendance, including the Welbourn
Quartette Club, who had promised to take
part in the concert. This club is composed
OF Sam Welbouru, Alex. Fall, VIM Dis
mukes and Henry Spence, all good
singers, and their part OF the pro-
grsmme was highly appreciated. The
Franklin Methodist Church choir also
volunteered and were present. This
choir is composed of j. l.. Parks, VIM.
House, DIR. j. D. Wallace, ThosE Haynes,
Mrs. DR.. Wallace, Miss Lou Plummer, and
Miss Ella Haynes. Tn were accompau-
led by Attorney General Fxssel and lady
Of Columbia. The choir rendered some
beautiful sacred music during the evening,
and sang other pieces with fine effect. Sew
q, ~nl instrumental pieces were executed by
Mis- = Collins and Mrs. DR.. Wallace. Mrs.
Fnsse sang most arCistically Comm thro'
the Rive and several o. her ballads. The
| srbosrd Watch by Meyers, Wheeler and
Spence of the Welbourn Club was loudly
encored as it deserved to be. This
club during the evening sang number of
sentimental and comic pieces, and ca h
time received an encore. Tbs "Sly Old
Coon," and "Apple Of My Eye" took the
audience by storm. The concert alto
gether was very entertaining, and gave per-
feet satisfaction. Vim. Bolton, of that dis
trict, acted as master Of ceremonies, and it
is safe to bet that he can carry more water
and hand it round more dexterously in half
an hour than any other man in the county.

"LIGHT-MORE LIGHT"
The Nashville Gas Works.

a representative of this paper obtained
some facts yesterday, from Mr.. George
Wells, Superintendent of our city gas
works, relative to that important institu-
ten.
At present the gas works of Nashville
have gas holders with a capacity of 100000
cubic feet per day, but the company arc
now engaged in erecting an additional tank,
at a cost of some $4,000, which, alone
will contain 1885, 900 cubic feet, its dimeU-
sions being 95a in diameter, with a depth
of % feet, and they think no further addi-
tons in that line will be needed for at least
fifteen years.
The Company also completed, not long
since, large purifying house, which is
fitted up with all the modern improvements.
The works run twelve benches of
retorts, five retorts making a bench. These
retorts IRE made of fine clay, and are ship
ped from New York. 1t has been found
that, made of fine clay, they last about two
years, and are much less expensive then
iron retorts, which do not last nearly as
long.
The coal used is brought from Pittsburg,
and about 100000 bushels are used per
year. The gas is cooled in a multitubular
condenser, made double so that a portion
of the tubes can be cleaned while the
remainder are in use. In manufacturing,
the gas passes into this condenser from the
retorts thence into the lime boxes, where
it is purified, then into the meter where it
is stored for use. The measuring capacity
of the meter is 100000 cubic feet per day,
audit will doubtless be several years efore
that amount of gas will DO consumed daily
in this city.
The company own some very valuable
property where their works are located,
having a front of 600 feet on Front street,
and front on Market of 270 feet, the re-
naming $50 feet on Front street running
back half way across the block toward
Market street.
The new holder now being put up is of
the most substantial character, and not
withstsndiug the large force OF hands en-
ployed upon it, and in making the neces-
sary excavations, laying the masonry, etc,
will not be completed until the 1st Of No
vember.

And now the residents of the southeastern
portion of the city strongly urge the claims
they have upon the Sanitary Committee,
and the municipal authorities generally.
At point where the Murfreesboro pike
crosses Browns branch, just outside the

filth has been deposited, having been carted
out from the city, and this reeking mass is

"This is q fearful time, and as many good

we should be lenient to the dear people,
