MURAT HALSTEAD

VIII Endeavor to Fill n Long Felt Want
by Establishing a Penny Afternoon
Paper in New York-First Issue viii Ap-
pear Tomorrow.
New YORK, August S.-The Sun Of Sat.
urday morning says: "Mr. Murat Halstead,
of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, has
been negotiating for the establishment Of a
daily paper in this city. The enterprise
has at last taken definite shape, and on
Monday afternoon the first number Of the
paper will appear. I did not intend to
speak of the matter until Saturday, said
Mr. Halstead in the Brev6ort House to-
night, but it is quite sure the paper is to
appear. We will make it about the size Of
lie Petit Journal of Paris. and will sell 1t
for a cent | shall have full charge Of the
editorial department, and in politics the
paper will reflect my views. 1t will be
Republican, in other words. As to the
name we shall give the paper, am not
tonight prepared to speak, but on
Saturday will be able to give fuller
information. am arranging for some spe-
cial news and ether features, but have not
yet got them into such shape that | can
speak about them AS to whether shall

say. have not severed my connection with
the Commercial Gazette, and have been con-
tributing to it over our leased wire
ever since have been here,
and shall continne to do so after
the evening paper is started" 1t is SD.
on good authority, that Mr. Whitelaw Reid
is interested in the enterprise, though Mr..
Halstead will be the editorial head Of the
paper. 1t is likely that the new paper will
print serial story running from day to day
after the style of the Paris papers, especial
" lie Petit Journal which seems to be TO n
certain extent, the model Mr.. Halstead has
taken for his new venture.

BUTlER'S BREAK.

His Candidacy Means n Confusion in Poll
tics Never Before Known in This Coun-
try-How 1t Will Affect the Canvass.
BosroS, August 9.-The Blaine opinion
of Buffers candidacy, as voiced by the
Journal, is that If Tsmmany and the New
York Sun support him, it settles the Presi-
Dental question in advance. The Re
puJIcans expect that he will
draw largely from Cleveland in
New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut, but admits that in this
State the effect of his candidacy will be to
reduce Blaines majority. The Democrats
are thoroughly mad, and swear all manner
of things at their late idol. At meeting
which the State Committee held yesterday to
talk over the situation it was said that the
Butler vote in this State would be about
$4,000. On the street, however, the estimates
differ widely from that, some going as high
as fifty thousand. 1t must be admitted
that the situation in Massachusetts is great
" complicated, and, with four tickets in
the field, the chances favor the field rather
than the favorite. A South Boston pohti-
clan said that Butler as an independent can
didate would not draw 1000 votes from the
5000 Democrats in the three South Boston
wards. There is floating vote
attached closely to either party
which is admitted he might get

letter is the last straw which will crush the
already enteebled Cleveland party to the
earth in Lynn, and he will drop out of
sirht in comparison with the vote for Blaine
and for Butler. There is no Cleveland
organization, nor has not been, and with the
present move in the campaign it is fair to
saw there will not be in the future. Butler

tence ofJohn R. Coe, found guilty Of mur-
der in the second degree, to twelve years in

the motion for q new trial. All the elo-

did not swerve the court from its plain
sense of justice and allow guilty offender
Of the law to go at large unpunished. The
general opinion is that the heinious crime
of which Coe was convicted deserved a

THE CHOLERA EPIDEMIC.

A Comprehe nsiye Review of the Causes,
Treatment, Fatality and Spread of the
Great Asiatic Scourgc---Latitude Seems
TO Have an Influence in the Disease
Lack of knowledge Of the Malady.
WASHINGTON, August 9.-Frank II. Ma
son, United States Consul to Marseilles, in
a dispatch to the State department relative
to the cholera in that place and TouloL,
SAYS. 1T appears that Notwithstanding all
the progress in medical science and the
perfect arrangements for collecting ard
treating the stricken victims Of the scourge,
more than iwO-thrds of those Vat
tackled have died, even during the
first fortnight of the epidemic,
and when all the sanitary conditions
we're the most favorable. The almost i'm
mediate transmission Of the disease from
Toulon to Marseilles and the enormous
death rate, 20 per cent in the earliest stage
of the epidemic, seems to prove that sani-
tary science and medical skill have made
but little substantial progress in dealing
with
The Asiatic Cholera.
4 second feature of the present epidemic
is the rigor and desdliness Of its attack as
compared with that Of the last great cholera
epidemic in the summer of 1865. The
rapidiiy and virulence of this deVel-
opment are attributed in some measure TO
the intense damp and sitting heat which
prevailed during the most of the days since
the 3Oth Of June. There are physicians Of
judgment and experience who

dessication is the only effective destroyer Of
the Cboleraie microbe on large scale, and
that dry hot weather, while it may be unfa-
vorabIe for those already attacked, is not

Another noticeable feature Of the
present visitation has been the stimuli
isneous and sudden appearance Of
the malsdy in all parts Of the city Of Mar
seiIles. Fugitives from here have died at
AK. Grenoblc and other towns in Southern
France, bat the epidemic has thus far not

follows:
The Senator goes on to urge the necessity
of LOYALTY to the Readjuster party. He sets
forth that he has been deserted BY Cameron,
Riddleburger, Sims, May Wise, and Paul,
and hence the greater necessity than ever
before of closer alliance between those
who still adhere to the party. Otherwise,
he SAYS in effect, we shall lose the patron
ace which we have enjoyed for the past
four wears, all OF which win slip through our
hands into those OF the Republicans.
