said to day that the inspectors appointed
BY the United States to supervise vessels
leaving English ports for this country had
thus far failed to find any suspicious cases
and consequently had given clean bills OF
health. There were three of these inspec-
tors stationed at London and one at Liver
pool and every vessel bound for the United
States from either Of these ports was sub
jected to rigid examination. Information
bad been furnished by leading firm at
New York that there were large exporta-
tions from Egypt and Turkey OF wool taken
from mattresses and it was suggested that
Infectious Diseases
might be transmitted in such material, as
well as in bags which had been made the
subject Of q special rule few days ago;
that these articles were shipped to France
and England and by these countries i'm.
mediately transferred to vessels bound for
American ports. This will be made the
subject of additional instructions to Collec.
tors at various United States ports, and, as
DR.. Hamilton expressed it, nothins
allowed to contamipate or in.
feet vessels bound for this country. Tie
English appeared to be fully alive TO the
perils that beset them on account OF their
negligence in quarantine matters, as a re-
cent dispatch sent TO this country would
illustrate. 1t was from the agents OF Me
steamer California, which put into Balti-
more recently with four yellow fever pa.
tients, and directed her commander not to
attempt 10 return to England for fully two
weeks and until the vessel had been
thoroughly fumigated.

ru,I,nELrHIA, August 4.-But a few
dsls ,stes have arrived to attend to the
Coryention Of the Amalgamated Associs-
TON, but large number are expected to-
morrow. The general feeling among the
mon here is that Jarrett should be re-
elected. but since he has positively de-
r,insd TO be q candidate for reelection .
rev man must be looked for. There is no
rsrt!yular choice among those interested
here as the President, whoever he will be,
will come from the West. However, much
interest is manifested in the meeting, and
no &, ubt tie Convention will be the most
interesting ever held by the association.
Ihe Candidates.
sal Thompson, Of Wheeling, Secretary
Martin and William WeIhe, Of Pittsburgh,
are the leading candidates in the race,
While several dark horses will probably be
entered at the proper time, should there
be chance to win. Mr.. Martin and Mr..
Weine are favOrably spoken of, with prob.
sblv Martin in the lead OF these two candi-
date. Thompson has shoes of friends
suorr the iron workers, and the chances
are ,ha; he will make good run. There
IS 10 doubt, he would prove an able man

Tuwarranted Arrest.

Shortly after the row on the B. & o. train
the lynx.eyed police, including the de
tective," arrested two men who were re
turning from a fishing tour. The gentle
men are iron. workers from Wheeling,
named Wright and Davis, respectively, are
respectable gentlemen, and were ne yer in
Jail in their lives until the Bellaire police
hustled them behind the bars, aud kept
them there until the next day without
warrant or authority, alleging that they
thought they were part of the crowd that
was flghting on the train. This is the
only excuse for locking them up, and
there seems to be no excuse at all for
keeping them till the next day. The gem
tlemen are very much hurt, and have con-
suited legal lights in the city concerning q
prosecution sgsinst these alleged guardians
Of the life and liberty of the people. There
are some instances Of unwarranted priyi-
!eges IN the matter Of locking people up,
and the alleged detective and some OF his
whipPere-in may find themselves outside
Of tie pale of guardians. This is not rare
with some of them, however.

the two years expired and the return OF
