Only twenty deaths by cholera are
reported. The Mayor, however
Classics persons of fifteen years
old among infants, to diminish the
roll. Toulon is also afflicted.
There the same course Of mistaken
secrecy has led to the spread
of the disease. Tulon is in a fright
full unsanitary condition. As at
Marseilles, the progress Of the dis
ease is rapid and great mortality is
among children.
MADRID, Aug. 13.-Granadais to-
day in a most deplorable condition
from the result of the ravages Of
cholera. The state of affairs there
really is worse than it was in Naples
last year, during the cholera cpl
demic in that city. There are no
doctors now in Granada, and the
dead bodies of cholera victims lie
unburied in the steets.
ToULoN, Aug: 13.-The sanitary
condition of this city is excellent.
and it is not believed that cholera
will prevail.
MADRID, Aug. 13-Fcur thousand
one hundred and seventy-one new
cases of cholera and 1911 deaths
were reported yesterday throughout
Spain.
PARIS. Aug. 13-Rerorts from
Marseillis, received today, state
that the weather is again very
warm, and that the cholera is in
creasing to such an extent that the
hospitals have been opened for the
reception of patients suffering from
the disease.
Reports from Toulon state that
two deaths from cholera have oc-
cured there, and several new cases
are reported.

Horse Thief CAPTURED.

Last evening, Sheriff Crislel
brought down from Virginia City
a man named Thomas, charged with
stealing a mare and two colts pas,
tured at Sweeny,s ranch. He came
on to the ranch on Sunday morn
ing mounted on a roam horse and
drove away the mare and colts.
Officers Ullrick and Furlong tracked
him to Virginia City, and in a
stable on the Divide, found the
horses and arrested the man who
gave his name as Thomas. He
claimed that the horses belonged to
him and having found them took
them away. The animals were left
there by man named Gray, resid-
Ing in Mason Valley. He says that
the same man stole the horses some
time ago, that he followed him to
Oregon and recovered them. The
preliminary examination will take
place today.

bic Real Estate suit.

| h&i: kscAi estate suit.
New York, August 13.-A Pitts
burg special says Plttsburs
promises to create whirlwind il
| the New York real estate marke
through the claim of Rev. w. r
Coovert of this city to Harlem
Commons, covering property valued
at $500, 900, 900, which, if his claim
is established, will be divided
among one hundred members OF
the family. Coovert will arrive in
New York on Friday, primed for
the biggest real estate fight in the
history of United States cities. He
Is confident Of success. The es-
tate embraces the resting-piace of
Gen. Grant, but this would not I'M
der any circumstances be disturbed.
The Harlem Commons Syndicate,
lately formed, are heirs of the Or
iginal patentees that preceded the
late CCovert. Gen. Fremont is its
President. There are some very
prominent men in it. It is claimed
documents exist in Albany to prove
that a patent which was made to
five Hollanders Of 10000 acres in
Harlem in May, 1866, by Governor
Nichols was reaffirmed twenty
years later by Governor Donegan,
and the title passed to Luke Coo
vert and never went out of the Coo
vert family and never was trans
ferred or annulled.
\ Newcastle, Penn, special says:
About forty alleged heirs assembled
in this city recently to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY Of pushing their
claim to the property. The meet
ing was presided over by John n. |
Emery, who is the great-great-
grandson of Luke Emery. Emery |
stated that in his opinion the site !
Of Gen. Grants tomb does not be-
ong to the heirs. They cannot es-
;ablish any claim to it, as the spot
vas, he thinks, one of the high
ands, while the property claimed

er, before being filed in. In Or
Ter to test the ownership Of the

There is great excitement in Vir-
ginia over the whereabouts of a
sewer leak. The Chronicle says:
In consequence several of the land
ed gentry thereabout have tempo
rarily laid aside the lawn-tennis
jacket and now, instead of capering
nimbly among the suspended fly
nets, they were early afeld, with
battle-pick and lancelike shovel,
shifting the sconce of the earth, ever
and anon the while pausilig to sniff
the air. Up to noon today the
fountain of a thousand evil smells
had not been discovered.
