favored the investment of the trust fund
raised for the General in Wabash bonds,
now still at about so per cent. When the
period for which the Morgan estate is
bound shall have expired, the General will
have nothing, unless, what now seems i'm
possible, there should be return of pros
perity to Wabash. The General feels his
reyerses keenly, seldom refers to them, and
never whines. The ravages of misfortune
were, however clearly shown in his face
and manner.

can State Central Committee have decided

The Government Cholera Precautions.
WASHINGTON, July 16th.-The Surgeon
General of the Marine Hospital says the
Collectors of Customs all along the coast
have been notified that persons from the
cholera-infected districts reported arriving
there by other than French vessels must
give evidence that none of their baggage
has been shipped from the infected dis
tricts since June Goth. Instructions have
also been issued to Customs Collectors to
cause the disinfection of rags, and other
freight of that character, coming from the
infected districts. The officer in charge of
the National Board of Health says that
while he does not think the danger of an
epidemic this year is very great, he expects
that we shall have cholera in this country
either this year or next 1t does not usually
reach US, he says, very much before the
second year after its appearance in Europe
but 1t is possible that it may come sooner
now.
Sanitary Condition of Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, July 16th.-The Times re-
ports the sanitary condition of the city as
appalling, and says Philadelphia is the
least prepared of any city in the Union to
resist the cholera. Major Veale, the Health
Officer, yesterday said the condition of the
whole city is such as to make any thinking
man tremble at the mention of a threat
ened cholera epidemic. 1t is not our fault
We are allowed only $4,000 to abate the
nuisances. That is not one-quarter enough
money Brooklyn, which covers only one
third this city's area, gives the Health De-
partment $4,000 for similar purpose"
Wherein lies the chief danger?" the re-
porter asked.
In the nasty system of sinks and wells
which exist here to an extent not found in
any other city in America. This morning
several cases are reported of vaults that
have overfiowed into cellars. In some of
the small alleys and courts the inhabitants
do not draw wholesome breath during
the summer"
The reporter visited the places indicated
by the Health Officer, and found where a
sewer had burst. The sewage flowed out
into an open lot and dried. The exhala-
tons from it were sickening. At old As
bury churchyard excavations were going
on and the dust and mold of old graves
filled the air with stencil. A physician in
the neighborhood said: My patients
have been gradually getting their systems
inoculated with this poison ever since these
graves were opened last year. 1t has ere
ated an epidemic of churchyard malaria.
The heat of the midday sun is stored up in
the raw earth, and when the dew begins to
fall it causes a mist to rise like steam from
the fostering mold, and the wind propels it
into the bedrooms of everybody sleeping
within half mile of this foul place"
Sampling Well Water.
New YORK, July 16th.-Dr Edison pro-
cured samples of water from wells in the
downtown business districts, and will have
contain impurities which would render

pear If the water is not wholesome the
wells will be closed.
The Sunday Concert Question.
New YORK, July 16th.-The Herald saws
The number and energy of the protests
yesterday from all classes of people against
the attempt of the Sabbath committee to
stop the Sunday concerts in the Park, evil
IDENTIFY surprised the committee. A men,
Der of the committee, who was interviewed
could not say what action the committee
would take against the decision of General
Viele, of the Park Commission in favor of
the concerts. He added: "The German
papers, | see are eXulting over the first step
in breaking down the odiouS American
Sunday observance, and 50 it is we will
soon be having the Sunday scenes on the
Prater in Vienna and the Champs Elvsees
in Paris repeated in Central Park, which
will then be nothing but a second Coney
Island, under municipal patronage Mark
my words, if the Anglo-American idea of
Sunday keeping and the Sabbath is done
away with, there is destroyed the greatest
safeguard against the encroachments of
capitalists and mOnopolists upon the rights
of the people. Factories, mills and rail-
roads will be run on Sunday, and working
people will be compelled to labor upon that
day as on the other six days of the week"
