WASHINGTON, July 29-Upon the recon-
mendation of the superintendent of the mil
itary academy the Secretary of War summa-
rily dismissed Cadet Thomas f. Hartigan, of
the senior class of the United States military
academy for hazing new cadets.
Hon. Walter Evans. Commissioner of in
ternal Revenue, left Washington this even
ing for visit to Louisville. He will be alb
sent about two weeks.
A heavy thunderstorm passed over WASH
ington last night during which lightning
struck the wires and ran into the machinery
of the United States Electric Light Company
in the Daily Post building and extinguished
the lights OF the company all over the city.
The works were badly damaged, but no other
injury was done.
General Gresham will not accompany the
presidential party further than Indiana.
Judge A. L. Roache is in the city settling
up important business preparatory TO taking
a long and much-needed rest He will go to

Rigid onarantine at Boston.

BosroN, July 2S.-The news OF the coming
of cholera.in infected rags has not anticipated
Boston's board of health. The ports physi-
clan was notified over a week ago not to
allow rags from Enhnd to pass quarantine.
Most rags sent here from England are orgi-
nally from Egyps, All vessels from Egypt
will undergo the strictest quarantine. The
port physicians are closely on the lookout
roryellow fevtr, and the hospitals on Galups
Island are in readiness for the reception of
either cholera yeilow-fever patients. The
health steamer Samuel Little patrols the
lower chsh nels of the harbor and every YES
sci fronia foreign port is boarded If the
vessel bas clean bill OF health she is per-
mitted to pass. The steamer Missouri which
is expected here tomorrow with rags in her
cargo will be detained at quarantine.

ness of this dispatch about the cargo Of rags,
but the State Department on Friday received
a dispatch from the vice-consul at London
that a cargo of rags had been shipped
from Egypt to Liverpool on the Fulvia and
transferred at that port to the Bavaria. Sani-
tarians generally are more fearful of a chol-
era epidemic than yellow fever epidemic
and for the enlightment of the general pub
lie it might be well to state that the precau-
tions taken by the government against yell
low fever apply to cholera. Smalley te.e-
graphs the Tribune from London that there
is great danger of an immensely destructive
plague in that city. Boston, Baltimore and
few of the coast cities are going through a
process of thorough publication. Washing
ton and Norfolk are doing nothing, ana Nor

Decision Awarding Priority of Invention
for an Incaudescent Conductor.
WAsHINGToN July 2S.-The board OF ex-
amners-in-chief of the Patent Office rendered
decision to-day revising the former decision
of the examiner of interferences and award
ing priority of invention to Thos. A. Edison,
for an incandescent conductor for electric
lamps formed of carbonized paper. VIM. L.
Sawyer and Albon Man contested Edison's
claim to a patent before the examiner of in
references and a decision was rendered in
their favor January 3, 1882 Subsequently
the case was reopened for the admission of
new evidence, and on June 80, 1888 the ex-
aminer OF interferences again decided in
favor of Sawyer and Man. From this decision
Edison took an appeal to the exanliners-iu-
chief, with the result above stated. The eX-
amiuers in-chief find there is not sufficient
evidence to show that Sawyer and Man ever
conceived reducing to successful practice a
paper carbon, pure and simple as set forth
and claimed by Edison and made the sub
ject OF this interference.

ENFORCING SUNDAY.
About Twelve Hundred violations of the
New Law In St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, July Notwithstanding the
public and repeated announcements made
during the past week by the Saloon-keepers'
Protective Association that all saloons
would be kept open in defiance of the Down
ing Sunday law, it appears that nearly if not
quite one-half of them were closed. The
police. tonight, report an aggregate OF
about 200 violations of the law. These
include saloons and beer gardens, groceries
with or without saloon attachments, livery
stables, breweres. cigar stores, BARRIERS,
hackmen, theaters. newspaper men
from proprietors down, street railways,
express companies, the Union Depot COM
pany for sending out trains and all little
shops selling goods of any kind. Sew.
eral large beer saloons in Cen
tral Park, which opened in the morning
closed before noon in consequence of the
boisterous expressions against the law and
those who were enforcing it
-muttered by the great crowds
congregated in them, which it was feared
might lead to disturbances. No ar
tions observed by the police will
be reported tomorrow to the prosecuting
attorney, who will Immediately proceed
against the violators in the Court of Crimi-
| nal Correction. 1t is said in police circles
that the line will be closely drawn next Sun
day, and perhaps arrests be made. No dis
turbances are so far reported, but
there was free, and. in many cases, violent
expression of opinion against the law,
and the enforcement OF it was
openly and strongly denounced. 1t is
said strong combination has been made
to resist the law, and seven prominent law
vers engaged to carry test cases up to the
United States Supreme Court A
close estimate of the beer sold here
on Sunday places the amount at 1000
barrels. This, al So per barrel, gives first,
or brewers cost, of $32, 900; adding to this the
liquors and wines sold would probably
make the aggregate cost to consumers fully
$50 600
