THE CHOLERA.
King Humbert Visits The Hospitals
Miserable Superstition of the Peas
ants-The Cholera Bulletin.

TURIN, Aug. ~.
King Humbert and Prime Minister Depretis
arrived yesterday at Busea, city of about
10000 inhabitants, in the province of CuneO
Piedmont today. They visited the cholera
patients at the hospital and left $1,000 for the
relief OF the sufferers. Italian peasants in
cholera districts repel doctors and prefer to
trust in charms and superstitious observances.
At Busca a girl was found dying in a filthy
room in which two sheep were feeding from
a nasty trough. The sheep were allowed to
be there because of a superstitious belief
that their wool would absorb the disease.
The peasants are strong believers, likewise
in the powerful efficacy of3 professions A
serious tumult occurred yesterday at Lacca
because the prefect prohibited a procession.
1t was necessary to call out the military TO
quell the disturbance, and several rioters
received wounds.

vote largely above party strength What
ever there may have been of the scandal ex-

THE RLAIR EDUCATIONAL BILL.

The Senate committee on education took
up the Blair educational bill last Friday,
and approved with slight amendments all
the features except that relating to the man.
ner of distributing the money to be appre-
priated. Upon this point the Southern
members of the committee urged that the
fund should be distributed through the State
authorities instead of by Federal officers, as
provided in Blair's bill. Senator Blair eN-
pressed anxiety to have the bill reported
and willingness to modify this feature of
his bill. He was thereupon authorized by
the unanimous vote of the committee to
draft the provisions covering this feature of
the bill and report it to the Senate early
next week, the members Of the committee
reserttng the right to amend by new pro-
visions if it did not suit them. The bill as
it will be reported provides for the appropri-
alton of $15, 900, 900 the first year, decreasing
one million each year thereafter for ten
years. The provision of the bill which au-
thorizes the teaching Of industrial arts in
schools to be established has been so amend
ed as to make it mandatory when practical
BILE. Any State not accepting the provis-
ions of the act nor acquiring or retaining
the right to dispose of its allotment, the

hearing yesterday morning. The Commits
sioner fixed the amount of bail at $500, in
default of which he was sent to jail to await
trial in the U. S. Circuit Court.
An attempt was made by the prisoners
in jail at Kingstree, on the night OF the 18th
instant, to escape by setting fire to the jail,
their intention being to assault the jailer,
when he came to put out the flames, and Sc
curing the keys, to thus make their escape.
One of the conspirators became frightened
and the plan fell through. The Williams
burg Herald says "The act certainly was a
most diabolical one and had it been carried
out in full, doubtless might have been a rep
etition Of the terrible holocaust of 1865,
where, under similar circumstances, twenty
one prisoners were burned up in the Jail
here"
At the meeting Of the State Board of
Agriculture in Columbia, last Friday night,
it was resolved "rhat the Commissioner OF
Agriculture be instructed to communicate
with the Boards of Trade and officials of
the cities and towns of the State, with the
railroad authorities, the newspapers, the
agricultural societies and oranges, success
full agriculturists, manufacturers and miners,
and such other persons as he emaysee fit, and
solicit their assistance to the Department OF
Agriculture, and their contributions in max

ing the hasps of another cell they gave an
other prisoner egress and this was repeated
until three more gained the passage, when
the united strength of the six forced open
the door opening from the passage to the an
te-room. From this room they went into
what has been known as the debtors room,
and with the iron hasps Wrenched from the
cell doors, commenced to drill a hole in the
wall Ton the east side Of the building.) But
little progress had been made before the
Sheriff was apprised of the operations.
While they would have failed to drill a
hole through the thick brick wall, with the
means ut their command, the Sheriff's the
Dry is, that being foiled in the attempt,
their next recourse was to have him open

their escape. But he proved himself better
in strategy than his prisoners, and still
holds the key to the situation.
DEATH OF DR.. J. II. CLAWSON.
J. Harry Clawson, NJ. d., native of

END OF THE GUNTHORPE CAsE.-The
Court of General Sessions of Pickens con-
vened on Monday of last week and adj
iourned on the following Wednesday. The
only case of Importance tried was that of
the State VS.. Mrs. Martha Gunthorpe and
her daughther, Matte Gunthorpee, arrested
at Blacks Station the latter part of last year,
charged with infanticide. They were charg-
ed with taking the life of the, new born
child of Matte Gunthorpe, in the town OF
Central, during the month of November,
1888. The evidence was scircumstantial, and
from the nature and secrecy of the offence
it was next to impossible for the State to
make out its case to the satisfaction of a
jury. Nevertheless, some ugly circumstan-
ces were brought out against them. Much
interest was manifested in the trial and
the courthouse was crowded to its utmost
capacity during the progress of the case,
which consumed whole day. The case
was given to the jury about 7 O'Clock Tues,
day night. The jury remained out a short
time and returned with verdict Of "Not
guilty."
