4 Horror from Brazil.
New York Herald, 27lh.J

New York Herald, 27lh.]
Ceara, one of the northerly provinces
of Brazil, is experiencing one Of those
visitations of famine and pestilence
which make the blood run cold to read
Of. The province has an Atlantic
coast line where the climate is moist
and comparatively cool; but back in
the interior, where the land is noun
famous, it is hot and dry. Deluged
by heavy rains from February to June,
it bakes beneath an unclouded sky Tor
the remaindero OF the year; the streams
dry up, and if famine comes then the
consequence can be but faintIv pic
tured. The inhabitants flock to the
cities, to the capital on the coast if
possible, if they have strength. So,
we are informed, they have locked
this year, to Fortaleza, and there
smallpox has broken out among the
starving refugees. The loathsome dis
ease claims, it is reported, three hun
dred victims a day. In the interior
the condition of those left behind is
appalling. Stories Of human beings
feeding upon what is left in Brazil for
the vultUrcs, and even upon corpses,
are told, recalling the worst experiences
Of the famines in British India and
China. In the United States we have
just passed through a period of pesti-
Ience which we were fortunately able
to rob Of any aggravation that might
come from hunger, thirst or want of
medical attendance and nursing. But
in Ceara, like a fire where there are no
fire engines, it must be left TO burn
out, almost beyond the reach of help
from man. Still, something can be
done. Brazil is not rich, but its en-
lightened ruler may be counted on to
do his utmost to extend relief to the
dying people, or at least to provide
sustenance to the survivors of the dis
ease. Here, too, if Il movement is
started in proper hands, some welcome
relief might be extended. These are
cases where man pities man and helps
him if he can reach him.

SCARLET FEVER.
How the COntagiOn is spread in New
York.

At the meeting Of the New York
Board of Health Wednesday, DR..
Day, Sanitary superintendent,
presented a report on the prevail
ence Of scarlet fever. He says !:
"While scarlet fever cannot be
said to be epidemic, and while it
is true that we expect an increase
in all contagious diseases during
those months Of the We II in which
their contagion is intensified bv
closed doors and widows, and peo-
pie are more closely associated
with each other, the disease is evil
IDENTIFY on the increase, and it is
the part Of wisdom to exhaust all
means to retard its progress. For
the last year, by the direction Of
the Board, / have sent Il daily list
Of persons sick with contagious
diseases to the Board of Educa-
ton, and | have notified the fami-
lies Of those sick with contagious
diseases that, during the period
of liability to their spread, the
children Of such families should
not be allowed to attend any
school. An inspector, especially
detailed for the purpose, has visi-
ted cases occurring in tenement
houses, with 4 view to investigate.
unsanitary surroundings, and to
impress upon the parents the ne
ceesity Of all possible isolation.
The disin1ecting corps have, to
the extent Of their capacity, per
formed the necessary disinfection
and fumigation, although in the
better class of houses we have
often been compelled to trust to
the physicians in attendance to
see that the needed precautions
were taken to prevent the dis
ease from spreading. It is often
impossible to ascertain the source
Of contagion in given case. No
doubt the disease is sometimes
propagated by persons who are
about to be taken down with the
disease, or who have recently re-
covered from it, and a frequent
cause may well be the Transport
tatiOn of solid linen to the laundry
in our close street cars. There is
scarcely a conductor on any city
car line who attempts to enforce
the health ordinance, and huge
bundles and baskets of foul linen
infected with disease from the
bodies of unreported cases are
thrust beneath the noses of un
suspecting passeng gers. When re-
mOnstrated with the excuse is
given by the conductor that he
had no means of knowing the
contents of the bundles. At such
time as this, however, it would
seem not unreasonable to require
those carrying suspicious parcels
to satisfy the conductor that they
are unobjectionable. If the vio-
lation of this ordnance continues,
it may be necessary to arrest the
conductor on the car,which would
subject the travelling public to Sc
riOus incOnVience.

A MILLIONAIRE GAMBLER.
4 Striking Illustration Of the Great
Vice Of California.

Virginia City Letter in y. y. Graphic.
An illustration of the hold which
gambling has upon men who have once
been engaged in mining IS afforded by
the life Of OBrien, late a member of
the bonanza firm. In the days Of his
struggles and poverty this man has
been accustomed to play "old sledge"
for five cents corner in his old bar
room in San Francisco. He was fortu-
nate in having Flood and Mackay and
Fair for partners, and he became worth
millions before lie knew it. But to the
day of his death he never forsook his
cold sledge." He took no interest in
the business Of tie firm, simply lcav-
ing his money for the others TO work
upon. He passed his time in the little
old bar room playing his fayorite game
with his old friends and generally
winning the five-cent stakes Of the
poor devils with whom he played.
There was nothing mean about OBrien.
He was simply a gambler by instinct
and custom, as most miners are, and
he continued the fascinating play until
death claimed him as his own winning.
There is nothing disgraceful in gam
bling in this community, and the men
who run the games and steal, so to
speak, the hard-earned wages of the
miner are looked upon as the leading
gentlemen" Of the towns. The repu-
ted owner of the heaviest game in Gold
Hill is n member Of the church, sings
revival hymns with de4p JUNCTION, and
at the late election was chosen State
Senator over very worthy gentleman
and merchant. This will serve to
show the estimation in which gamblers
are held here. They are, 50 to speak,
the cream Of the land.

Lake Elmo was favorite resort last year for
seekers of health or pleasure, and thousands

spired with determination not to be outdone
in Offering attractions to the public,
and they succeeded admirably. Farther
moro, Lake Elmo is permanent in it's
forts and homelike conveniences are given
every visitor. The hotel accommodations are
unsurpassed, and the railroad accommodations
are such as to afford the business man
ample opportunity for summering
without neglect of his business. Trains are
run at such convenient hours that the buai-
ness man can reach st. Paul, Saltwater or Min
neapolis and return to Lake Elmo in time for
an evenings pleasure. This last will be aug
mented during the present season by the nov
city Of the magneto-electrical light. Mr..

The inaugural of this new process of llumi-
nation will take place next week Friday or

time will be made. Excursion trains will be
run to meet the rush Of people and convey
them to the scene and back to the city without

Thrown bv a Cow Catcher

Is
Since the advent of open weather, rail-
road accidents have become unpleasantly
frequent, and hardly day passes without
the newspapers having to chronicle seri-
GUS loss of life or limb. A peculiar feature
OF majority of railroad accidents that have
occurred in this city recently, is the appar-
emily reckless manner in which the victims
have exposed themselves to danger, and
with the exercise of more caution, one-half
the casualties incident to railroad life could
be avoided.
Shortly before IL o'clock, yesterday fore
noon, workman on the new short line.
named James Lynch, was walking on the
railroad track near the Sioux City freight
house, when he inadvertently stepped in
front Of the express train due in this citv at
l1:O5 O'Clock. The victim was caught bv
the cowcatoher of the locomotive and thrown
violently upon the ground, sustaining iniur-
les about the head and shoulders. DR..
Murphy was called, who restored the patient
to sensibility, and upon examination it was
learned that no bones had been broken.
The injured man was conveyed to his res
idence. corner of Chestnut and Exchann,
streets, and it is thought from pain endured
that he sustained internal injuries. whici
will be determined to-day. At the time o
the accident MI. Lynch was adyanoino +,

A Narrow Escape.

A thrilling accident took place about
o'clock yesterday morning, by which Boz
hemian shoemaker named Sylabach narrowly
escaped close call from instant and horrible
death.
At the honr named, the individual men
toned, in company with several other work
men at Forepaugh & Tarbox's boot and shoe
mandatory, attempted to board the express
train on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad, due in this city at $50 o'clock A. M.
The train had just passed Siegler's resi-
dence, and was coming around the bluff at a
rapid rate of speed, when the men jumped
for the platform of one of the front coaches
of the train. The leap was successfully
made by all except Sylabach, who missed
his footing on gaining the platform, falling
directly under the passing train, reaching
the ground in such manner, however, as to
fall lengthwise on the roadbed, between the
two tracks. "a
With presence of mind that was almost
phenomenal, the man instantly realized his
perilous position, and closely pressing the
earth, the train passed safely over him. His
appearance, when picked up, resembleQ thai
of the fretful porcupine, as his back had
been combed in such vigorous manner az
to materially damage the outer clothing, but
strange as it may seem, the man had hardly
sustained scratch. The accident is one
that is liable to daily, repetition, with more
serious results, and the dangerous and repre-
hensible habit of men trying to board pass
ing trains should be summarily stopped.

and small portion is already dedicated to the
public there.
Now this dedication gratis imposes the duty
while fencing the job should include the whole
grounds and the leveling and cleaning up, set.

the use of the whole grounds until they are

This will be an excellent place to have the

be done cheaply, as lumber can be bought fol
$lO, and it will be cheap enough for the city to
get a three-ac1e park simply for fencing it.
