The Cholera

WASHINGTON, Aug Nv. E. Stew
ems United States consul to Smyrna
writes to the national board of health
under date of July 18th as follows:
The news from Egypt is less alarming
than at the time of my last report
Facts have come to light tending to
show that the disease which is deci-
mating the population of Damietta is
not ASlatic cholera but malignant local
distemper, caused by the filthy condi-
ton of the town and unclean habits
its lower classes, whose principal ar
ticle of food is fish, caught from water
polluted and poisoned by being used
as a receptacle for otfal, the carcasses
of deceased animals, etc During the
British occupation many animals per-
ished and their bodies We're dumped
into the water regardless of conse-
quences. This theory is strengthed by
the following facts. The disease
first made its appearance in Damietta
on the 4th of June, but was not make
public until the goth. at which time
the death rate became too large for
longer cOncealment; second, the NOR
tality is confined almost wholly to
natives, who disregard in their mode
of living all sanitary requirements?
third, the disease is limited to small
territory
FOurth-Its previous course, on the
suppOsition that it is Asiatic cholera,
cannot be traced
Fifth-The disease does not spread
with the rapidity of Asiatic cholera.
In 1865 cholera was only two days in
travelling from Dardanelles to Alex
andria. [ may add that some
of the best physicians in Smyr-
ma do not regard the present
scOurge in Egypt as cholera With
the stringent measures taken to con-
fine it to the present limit it is fair to
assume that its ravages will not be
much further extended, although the
death rate shows little diminution as
yet.
SIMLA, Aug. 1.-The Indian govern
ment will send to Egypt seven doctors
and forty assistants.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug 1.-The in
ternatiOnal sanitary council will inn
pose % days quarantine on vessels
which have had cases of cholera on
board Other rigid restrictions will
be enforced

Serious Bridge Accident.

GRAND HAVEN, August 2.-While
Peter Anderson, of Grand Haven,
and man named Green, of Nunica,
were at work yesterday afternoon up
on a temporary bridge over Crockey
creek, to replace the one carried away
by the freshet on the Detroit and Mil
Haukee railroad, the structure was
undermined by the current and fell,
precipitating the men to the ground
below. Anderson struck upon his
head, fracturing his skull and injur-
ing his shoulders and chest. His re
covery is doubtful. Green's injuries
are not serious. The bridge foated
some rods down stream, and is in a
worse condition than before.

One of the Fords Arrested.

KANSAS CITY, No, Aug. 3.-Gen-
eral surprise was occasioned in this
city, yesterday by the arrest of
Charles Ford, the ex-train robber,
who assisted his brother Bob Ford
in the removal of Jesse James in
April, 1882. Ford was arrested by
the deputy county marshal on a
eapias, an Indictment being found
last January charging him with com
plicity In the Blue Cut train robbery,
September II, 1881. Ford is highly
indignant over his arrest, declaring
that it was expressly understood that
he should not be molested IN consider
alton of his services to the state in the
breaking up of the robber band.

THE ARKANSAS OUTLAWS.
Hundreds of Citizens in Pursuit of
the Outlaws.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 1.-THE
hunt after the outlaws in the noun
tains of Southwest Arkansas continues
with unabated activity. The number
of pursuers is swelled to nearly 200.
The men are armed and mounted. and
have a brace of blood-hounds, which
have proved of value in locating the
trail The report Of a desperate
battle between pursuers and pursued
is not confirmed, In the fight on
Sunday last one man belonging to
the posse was killed, and two
wounded. The desperadoes are in
The mountain Businesses, well armed,
but not intrenched. A gentleman
who reached the city this evening
from the scene of operations says
that the capture of the cut-throats is
by no means certain, and that, not
withstanding the army of pursuers
they may escape into the Indian ma
ton. He says the country in the inn
mediate vicinity is fully aroused, and
the men are turning out with all sorts
at weapons with the hope of finding
the outlaws and receiving the reward
offered for their apprehension. Gov.
Berry believes they viii! be brought
in shortly.

The Land Frauds in Minnesota.

MINNEAPoLIs Mimi, Aug. 4-Sev-
eral alleged cO-conspirators with A.
L. Gordon and r. G. Mitchell, the
pine land frauds, met at Duluth to-
day to make final proof on claims.
Ex-Gov. Marshall and several assis-
ants appeared and threatened to
arrest them, but Gordon, attorney for
pre-emptors defied them and said a
room full of detectives, marshals and
U. S. attorneys could not bulldose nor
intirnidate him; that he was
there to protect his clients, and
they might arrest and be damned !;
that he would carry the war
into Africa and drag the niger from
the wood-pile The alleged conspira-
tors it is said, seem to have good
substantial proof of settlement and
improvement of land.

A DEADLY DISEASE.
Many Cattle Dying.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Aug. "A
frightful cattle and horse disease has
broken out in the northern part of
this county. At first horned cattle
were the only ones affected, but it has
attacked horses, and they are dying
in great numbers. At first it was sup
posed to emanate from poisonous
weeds and vegetation in the Missouri
river bottom, but the spread of the
malady to stock on the hill farms and
its ravages there stamp it as a malig-
nant epidemic. The first indica-
ton of the disease is irrita-
ton of the stomach, followed
by the swelling O.; the bowels,
after which the animal drops dead, in
many instances in less than two
hours, inflammation spreading to the
whole system. A farmer in that vi
cinity skinned an animal that had
died of the disease, and in doing so
cut a cash across his knuckle. The
poison extended to his whole system
and he died in great agony. The cpl
demic has invaded several thickly
settled townships, and it is spreading
rapidly It has baffied all local skill
It's symptoms are wholly unlike any
thing that has hitherto manifested
itself among cattle and stock of this
region.

The Prophecy Fulfilled.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Ihe Even
ing Star says last Saturday night the
Pennsylvania railroad train, on which
the president was a passenger, had
just left the Gunpowder Bridge, some
sixteen miles north of Baltimore, on
its way south, when there came crash
ing through the plate-glass window Of
the private car of President Roberts,
Of the railroad company, IN which
President Arthur was seated, stone
nearly as large as an egg, which
struck the fag-man, Charles Sparks,
on the left cheek. The president at
the time was about midway the car,
some ten feet behind where Mr..
Sparks was sitting, the presidents
messenger "Aleck," being between
them Perhaps this will be claimed
as the fulfillment of the prediction of
Zadkiel the London astrologist for
July. which reads: THE president
of the United States will be in person
al danger at the latter part of the
month, and should take precautions
accordingly"

A BALLOON A STORM.
The Count de Dion Relates His Elk
perience on His Recent Voyage.

The Count de Dion Relates His Elk
perience on His Recent Voyage.
PARIS, Aug. 2.-The voyage of the
Count de Dion's balloon, rHorizon,
came to an abrupt and unlocked for
termination at Brussels on the day
following the Start from La Villette.
Soon after starting the balloon at
tanned an altitude of 1, 200 metres. 1t
was sailing smoothly before mod
crate breeze from the southwest when
it was suddenly caught in a rain
storm which beat so heavily up
on it that the aeronauts had
to throw out large quantity
of ballast. The bad weather lasted
throughout the night. In the morn
ing the balloon was over Charleroi.
There, at a height of 800 metres, the
pigeons were loosed, but they have
not as vet reported themselves at their
home A successful descent was made
in the neighborhood of Brussels.
THE COVERING BREAKS LOOSE
Before reaching the earth the outer
covering of the balloon-an expert
mental provision against the heating
of the gas under the rays of the sun
became detached, with a sound as of
a cannon shot, and made a parachute
like descent ON its own account, fall
ing kilometre distant The count at
tributes the accident to the imperfect
attachment of the cords which held
the covering to the network. He in
tends, however, 10 renew the expert
ment. Another cause which short
ened the journey was that the balloon
itself had not been revarnished since
the last ascent, and there was an in
cessant escape of gas, which, com
bined with the bad weather, prevented
its remaining in the air. The count
is too enthusiastic an aronaut to be
daunted by these mishaps, and in a
month or so Horizon will make a
new departure from La Villette.

eral superintendent This week closes
with our force largely increased and
our service greatly improved over the
previous week. the past two days hav-
ing reached almost perfection The
strikers are discounted by daily re
curing denials of absurd stories put
forth by their leaders to give them
heart and hold them together.
They now find that the feast
to which they were invited
is supplied only with husks. The
railroad operators did not 90 out;
thirty-fve operators did not desert
from the New York office; General
Eckert did dot resign; the Western
Union directors did not disagree, and
last Of all they would not confer and
compromise. Comment upon the in

The Coupon Frauds.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-In the general
sessions of the court of the grand jury
made a presentmnnt to-day In the
court regarding coupon frauds Of ten
wears ago. The presentment was based.
on affidavits made by Artemus H
Cady. clerk of arrears, Richard A.
StOrrs. deputy comptroller and Abra-
ham B. Erie, late city auditor In
their Joint affidavit they recite the
history of the issue of the bonds of
which $15, 900, 600 worth were printed
by the National BanknOte company
by order of Comptroller Connally.
On Andrew H. Green succeed
ing to the office of comptroller
he refused to use these bonds
because they bore on the coupons a
printed fac simile Of the signature of
his predecessor, and he ordered all de-
stroyed In Andrew Fl. Greene's af-
fidavit he says in regard to the dispo-
sitiOn Of these bonds, that to the best
of his recollection he summoned three
Of the most responsible employees of
the office, EARL, StOrrs and Cady, to
count the bonds, and, after making a
memorandum Of them, to destroy
them. He then accompanied them
to the new court house, where
they were destroyed by burning.
The grand jury's presentment says
the 18th national bank consented to
appoint an expert as proposed, but
the other banks declined. The jury
thought the public interests required
a thorough examination of the comp
troller's office by impartial and skilful
men, who were not connected with
the city government. Their term was
too short to enable the jury to make
q personal investigation, but they had
examined some of the parties connect
ed with the cOmptrOlIer's office, and
had reached the following cOnclu-
sions:
First That if payments of city
city coupons had been made by a re
spOnsible bank or trust company, as
was formerly the practice, no loss
could have occurred to the city.
Second-That if the payment for
coupons had been made by Chamber
lain as formerly, the city would have
been protected from loss by the large
bond of Chamberlain, which the Jury
believed would apply to cases like the
Carroll frauds
Third This grand jury is of the
opinion that a law should be passed
prohibiting any issue of city indebted
ness other than in registered form,
and they recommend the conversion
Of all outstanding coupon bonds into
registered stock.
Fourth From the testimony before
the grand jury they believe the sys-
tenn and method of bookkeeping in
the coDNptroller's office can and should
be so changed and improved as to
make a repetition Of the late fraud an
impossibility.
Mayor Edison appointed Seth II.
Grant, his private secretary, cOmptrol-
Ter to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Comptroller Campbell.
For many years Grant was superin-
tendent of the produce exchange.
The. commission appointed to look
