A Smart Tobacco Dealer.

WASHINGTON, June lG.-A number Of
tobacco dealers have complained to the
post office department that a tobacco firm
in Ohio is conducting a gift enterprise in
offering to distribute $4,000 among con-
sumers of their tobacco in prizes graded
in proportion to the mount consumed, as
shown by the number Of tin tags that are
affixed to each plug. The business has
grown so rapidly that other dealers in to-
baceo have combined to employ counsel
for the prosecution of the case before the
post office department, with the view TO
having the advertising circulars and tags
OF the Objectionable concern excluded from
the mails. The matter is under consider
alton at the post office department.

Cholera stricken Spain.

MADRID, June l6.-In the province of
Castillon de La Plana, yesterday, there
were eighty cases of cholera and sixty
deaths Thirty thousand people have fed
from Murcia owing to the terrible dread
Of the disease which has taken possession
Of the people. In the city of Murcia
alone, yesterday, there were. according to
the latest rumors, sixty-four new cases OF
cholera and thirty-nine deaths. In the
province of Murcia, outside Of the city,
there were fifty cases of cholera and six
teen deaths within the same period. The
official Gazette confirms the statement
that cholera is raging in the provinces of
Valencia, Castillon de La Plana and Muir
cha and in the city of Madrid. The oppo-
sition newspapers, on the contrary, deny
that cholera exists in Madrid and say that
all testimony regarding suspicious cases is
insufficient to give warrant for the asser-
ton that there are cases Of cholen in the
city

The Outer Casket for she Body OF
General fsrMMt.


The New York Times says; The metal
lie burial case which contained the
coffin arrived from Troy Thursday morn
ing and was exhibited to the public on
the sidewalk in front Of Undertaken Mer-
ritts ware rooms, in Eighth avenue. 1t
was manufactured expressly for the COCA
sion by the Franklin iron works OF Troy
under the direction of P. L. Cregan, the
patentee. In shape the case is ooiong
with an oval top. Each of the six sides is
q solid sheet of 4-inch unpublished choep
steel, and they are riveted together by
A-inch bolts placed at intervals OF only
inches. The weight of the case is y, 800
pounds and il is warranted to stand q
pressure of 5000 pounds to the square
inch. 1t is air-tight, water-tight, burglar
proof, and fire-proof. The opening to
admit the easket iR at one end of the case
and the end is temporarily held in place
by screw bolts. II contains q nickel
plated copper plate, % by 4 inches, on
which is engraved, ~. s. Grant. Died
July 90, 1856"
In the bottom of the case is frame OF
iron on iron rollers, and in it are adjusted
six wooden rollers, three ON either side,
to permit the coffin to roll in smoothly.
The case ia the second which Mr.. Cregan
ordered, and was not commenced until
Monday morning week. Since TINT time
and up TO Wednesday noon n force of u
men worked at it day and night. Aftei
the coffin is placed in the casket the oper
end will be riveted mp by Thomas Sunder
land and Patrick Shields, proprietors o
the Franklin Iron Works, and Henry Il
Darby, master mechanic of the Alban,
and Rensselaer, Iron and Steel Company
Mr.. Cregan explained that the reason
why he did not use the first burial cas-
manufactured was that the workmen EN-
ployed on it pilfered the 'punchings
and trimmings to sell as relics. Ever.
bit of waste steel from the second caske
has been preserved by Mr.. Cregan, an,
he says $4,000 will not buy the smalles
one. He will distribute them among hi
friends. The case has been formally &C
cepted by Undertaken Merritt, and he eS
presses himself well pleased with it
workmanship. The case was viewed b
thousands of people, and big police
man was stationed at either end of it t
keep the crowd in motion.

u. & o. MATTERS.
Wfnnn,s staten Island Prolect-Nd
Telegraph Agreement.

Baltimore Sun special
NEW YoRK, Aug, z. --Rumors Of com
bination between Jay Gould and Robert
Garrett again filed the air today, because
of the unusual strength Of Western Union
stock. President Bates of the Baltimore
& Ohio Telegraph Company, reiterated in
the strongest language his denial of any
arrangement between Mr.. Garrett and
Gould looking towards the transfer of
the control of his company to the Western
Union, and he exhibited private cable
grams from Mr.. Garrett, who is in
Europe to the same effect. Mr.. Bates
SAYS that the Western Union made the
Baltimore a. Ohio telegraph an offer some
time ago, which was declined.
The Staten Island route, which was
alluded to in this correspondence few
days ago, by. which the Baltimore Il Ohio
could effect an entrance into New York
independent of the Jersey Central, is the
scheme of Mr.. Erastus Wiman, of DIM,
Wiman a. Co., who is largely interested
| in the development of Staten Island. II
was reported to-day that Mr.. Wiman had
opened negotiations with Mr.. Garrett to
| induce him to secure an inlet for the
Baltimore q Ohio railroad TO New Yorl
over some of the New Jersey railroads
and build terminus on the water
| front of Staten Island, from which fast
passenger boats and large freight boaii
could be run to connect with this city
/ Mr.. Wiman said to-day that the repor
was rather premature. He intimated that
of course he would be pleased to oper
| negotiations of that character, and sale
| that even as far back as last -Decembel
the attention of Mr.. Garrett was indi
rectly brought to the subject. OF course
| in Mr.. CARROTS absence nothing coult
be done, but on his return Mr.. Wimai
will again suggest that consideration
be given to his proposition. Mr.. Wiman'
| first scheme was to have Mr.. Carrot
secure the right of way over the Jerse,
| Oentral's tracks as far as Elizabeth, thel
to run over a road to be built by Mr.
Wiman to Elizabethport, 10 mile distant
and then cross the Kill Won Kull and us
Mr.. Wimnn's trucks on Staten Island n
far as St. Georges, just beyond Ne,
Brighton. That, Mr.. Wiman said, woul
be an advantageous terminus for tn
Baltimore q Ohio's New York system
Failing in that, Mr.. Wiman now says h
Wiman) would build line from Phill
delphia to Elizabethport for the Ba
timore Il Ohio provided that roa
would enter into a traffic agreement wit
him. Mr.. Wiman dwells upon the ai
vantage of securing Staten Island MS
water front, and X. M. Galloway, vic
president of the Manhattan Elevate
Railroad Company, comedies with NJ
J Wiman's views. The fact that MIR. TN
loway is interested in the enterprise
considered here to explain the report TIL
Mr.. Gould stands ready to render the
& o. any assistance in his power. M
Wiman, however, denied that Mr.. Gou
! had any personal interest in the ente
} prise.

has been passed very quietly at DIR.
Wards house. After breakfast the doctor
took his distinguished guest for short
drive ON the Loudonville road out into

evening n number of personal friends,
including Adjutant- General Farnsworth,
Superintendent John McEwen, Corpora
ton Counsel $. w. Rosendale and Mr..
Grange Sard, called to pay their respects
but there was no intrusion by politicians
or strangers. The party at dinner was
composed of President Cleveland, DIR.
Ward, Mr.. Grange Snrd and Mr.. Joseph
w. Russell.
The President is looking forward with
pleasure to his vacation i'll the Adiron.
dacks. His increase in weight since his
Inauguration is attributed to the lack OF
exercise. When in Albany as governor
he walked from two to five miles daily,
but in Washington he is rarely on the
street. He says TINT he has only walked
| outside the White House three times :
once simply across the street and he ex'
presses surprise that his health has moi
been affected by the inaction. In the
woods he expects to take a large amount
of physical exercise.
