An Effort TO Stamp Il out in New York.
New YoRK, September 25.-The notice
Of the Board OF Health ordering several
diphtheria infected tenements on the ex.
treme east side OF the city to be vacated
within five days, was received with dismay
and CONSERVATION by the inmates Of the
infected houses and the agents aud owners
oil the premises. On account of careless.
ness or OF an endeayor to suppress the
fact, malignant diphtheria Is rapidly
prostrating and destroying the inmates.
Only few OF the cases have been prop.
erly reported to the Sanitary Superintend-
ent. 1t has been ascertained that three
more cases have been reported within q
few days. The number Of cases reported
since the commencement Of the present
epidemic in the city about the middle Of
August steadily decreased, although more
persons were sick with diphtheria than
have been on an average in the past. The
cellars OF the infected houses were flooded
by tidewster during the heavy northwest
storm in the middle OF August, and this
caused the dread disease.

L
eonSspcndenes Of the IntelIigenrer.
The Republicans Of steubenville had
one OF the most successful meetings last
night Of the campaign. The meeting was
under the management OF the Garfield
club-R. Sherrard, Jr, Ptesident-and
everything passed of smoothly. The sher-
rard Guards, Fourth ward boys colored
club aud the Doty Guards, without uni.
f,rms, paraded the streets for about two
hours. At the wigwam Judge Jacob Am
bier, ot Salem, spoke for almost one hour
and q quarter, his address being broken
all the way through with rounds of APP
plause. The Judge is very pleasant
speaker, and held his audience without
any trouble, the wigwam being crowded
with voters. An organ had been nut in
the building during the day, and before
and after the Judges speech the glee club
rendered some soul stirring campaign
songs, accompanied by the organ, Yonr
correspondent had an interview with the
Judge at the hotel alter the meeting, dur
ing which he expressed himself as sstB-
tied that Salem would do better for Gar
field and Arthur than she had ever done
for any candidates.
The ranks OF The sherrard Guards last
night were increased one by the person of
Frank Weaver, Vice President OF the
Young Mems Hancock club, and a mem
ber OF two OF the committees on the PEN
dleton mass meeting. We welcome Frank
over In our ranks aud extend TO him the
right hand Of fellowship.
The Democrats raised n sixty.fye foot
pole In the Fifth ward last night. They
had out brass band aud attempted 10 get
up procession, succeeding only in get
ting about q dozen men and two dozen
small boys. AT the place where the pole
was raised they indulged in little sneak
Ing, Jimmie Bigger, Slant Andrews, Billie
McCauslen and lew lesser lights being
the orators.
In the midst OF an eloquent appeal to
bis colored friends and iellow.Citizens to
vote for the party which tired 10 keep
them enslaved, one OF the orators dropped
his false teeth. having to clean them of
before he could proceed again. The ap-
plause at this point was very loud, and was
about the only real applause INDUCED in
during the evening. Thus closed an un.
successful attemptto have meeting.
The social circles OF SmithGeld, this
county, were put into confusion last night
by the elopement OF Charles GalbAith, a
prominent young man OF that town, and
Miss Ella, daughter OF Mifllin 0ng. The
young lady's parents were opposed 10 tho
match, but the young people managed 10
outwit them, and yesterday met at the
fair grounds and left for Independence,
Pa, where the knot was to be tied.
