THE CHOLERA.
The Authorities Taking Every Precantion
to Guard Against the Dread Disease.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The govern
ment authorities here are watching the
progress of the cholera outbreak in Europe
been quietly studying the matter for
nearly year past, and have everything
well in hand to fight it if it gets within
fighting distance, and it is pretty sure to do
that. 1t is pretty evident that there will be
the skill the country affords in
regard to this dread scourge
before the season is past. Begin
ming so very early as it is, it will
be a subject of great surprise if it does
not, in some way, find an entrance
to this country. All precautions that can
be taken to prevent it's being brought into
the country will of course be taken, but the
chances are that it will slip past the vigilant
doorway. Surgeon General Hamilton, of
the Marine Hospital service, will doubtless
be put in charge of the work again, his
record in preventing the entrance of infec-
tious diseases in former years having been
very satisfactory. In case this is done, his
policy will doubtless be not only to quar-
antine every port thoroughly, but at the
keep close watch on every departing yes
sci bound for the United States, 60 see if
there is on board anything that seems pos
sibly able to develop into a case of cholera
or cholera germ, and if so, to notify the
authorities here, that it's landing may be
prevented. 1t is safe to say that all possi-
BILE precautions will be taken to prevent il
arrival in this country, or its spread afts
arriving; but it is quite safe to say that
spite of all this, the chances are in favor
its gaining an entrance and fOothOld in
this country before the season is past.

RIOTING IN CORK.
Desperate Fight Between Nationalists and
Police, Who Use Revo1vers and
Bayonets.

LONDON, April 15.-After their mass.
meeting in Cork, the Nationalists scattered
throughout the city in parties numbering
from fifty to five hundred men. Doors and
windows were smashed, flags and decora-
tions were torn down and heaped upon
blazing bonfires, and many gun stores were
broken into for the purpose of arming tn,
mob. Policemen, when encountered singly
or in small squads, were attacked and beaten
numerically with their own trencheons.
desperately upon the mob, but they were
Immediately surrounded and repulsed.
The police then resorted to the free
use of their revolvers and bayonets. 1t
was hand.to-hand fighting of the most
desperate sort, the police standing
back to back, and receiving and inficting
terrible injuries. At midnight the
streets were practically in possession Of
the mob. The policemen who remained
than remain in their positions and fight in
the defensive. In addition to attacks from
the crowds in the streets, the police were
exposed to murderous volleys of stones
from windows of houses and other points of
vantage. The belief at midnight was that
the streets could not be cleared without
the use of artillery. A. - The
rioting at Cork has been suppressed,
many arrests were made, and the hospitals
are full of wounded police and rioters. The
Mayor of Cork took no official part in well
coming the Prince and Princess of Wales
yesterday, but he highly commended the
efforts to preserve the royal visitors from
hostile demonstration. The town of Kill
larney is rapidly filling with visitors, and
is being handsomely decorated in honor of
the coming visit of the royal party.

In the Event of War.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-State Depart
ment officials have recently inquired care
fully into the responsibilities and obliga-
tions of this Government under the neutral
ity law and under treaty requirements in
Russia. The Department would not inter-
fere at present with any purchase in this
country of army explosives or ships
for either country, or with 1.-THE fit
ting out of war vessels for either
doubtful, however, whether either England
OF Russia could purchase or fit out a war
vessel at any ship-yard in the United
States and succeed in clearing for foreign
waters. Under the neutrality law this
Government is required to prevent the de-
parture from an American port of vessel
unfriendly to nation with which the
actual outbreak of hostilities. 1t is
also responsible for the departure of
such vessel pending any effort in time
of peace or war to detain her by legal
process under the neutrality law. Under
this construction of the law it is stated in
official circles that if either England or
Russia now purche ed a war vessel at an
posing country could appeal to the courts
United States would then be
responsible for her detention pend
ing decision. A delay of several weeks
would result. The prospect of such delay
at a critical time necessarily forms strong
argument against the purchase of Ameri-
can ships. If declaration of war were
made before the case was decided in the
Courts it would then be out of the question
to permit the departure of the vessel, no
matter what the decision might be.

BE PATIENT.
No Occasion for Democrats to Exhibit De-
moralizinS Impatience.


moraliziuS g Impatience.
There is no occasion for Democrats
to exhibit impotence over the slow
progress which President Cleveland is
making in the work of turning the ras-
Gals out. The President is new in the
business, his cons st:tutional advisers are
without experience in the work to which
they have been called and they are
properly cautious in SO important q
matter as changing the public function
aries. They probably reason that after
they are themselves better acquainted
with the duties, they will be better able
to give instructions to new hands in the
subordinate Offices.
There is no doubt that President
Cleveland viii! in good time turn the
rascals o It. Thare is every reason to
believe that even those who have been
so careful as to conceal any misdeeds
of which they may have been guilty
will be relieved of Official duties in due
course of time. Some will be permit
ted to continue in office doubtless until
Their commissions expire, some will
take time by the forelock and resign,
and others will be invited to step down
and out. But all will have to walk the
plank before the Presi lential term ex-
pires and their Successors will be ap-
pointed for four wears.
But it is in the appointing power that
President Cleveland has shown a per-
fection of iud gment that wins admira-
ton from all of his party friends. From
the head of his Cabines'to the most un-
important Office he has filled, the same
| excellent discrimination has been
| shown. There is every reason to be-
lieve that he will continue this satisfac-
tory work, and no one can doubt that
such a course will strengthen the party
not only at present but in the future.
Democrats have only to wait patiently.
President Cleveland has come to bull /
up and not to destroy the organization.
If the future is to be judged from the
brief period past he will achieve his
commendable object. : Harrisburg

aged forty five, and his little boy Frank,

The Hotel Murder,

ST. LOUIS, April 15.-Maxwell, the ST.
Louis murderer, has been traced to San
Francisco and on board a steamer for New
Zealand. He will be arrested if he does
not land at Honolulu. The police are now
convinced that the case is one of murder
for robbery; that Maxwell is the mur-
derer and the dead man Preller. Maxwell
has been fully identified by several
merchants. He called at a pawn-shop
on the 4th inst. on Fourth street
and pawned his watch, but redeemed
it again on the 9th. This shows
that he was hard up on the day
before the murder was committed, and he
had money the day after. When he re-
deemed his watch and chain he purchased
a small diamond ring for $25 and a flute for
$S. At the st. Louis and San Francisco
Railroad office he purchased a first class
ticket for San Francisco for SIG. He was
seen and recognized on the Frisco train on
the 7th by several parties. The inquest will
probably be held tomorrow. No ar
rangements have yet been made for the
funeral.

worth fighting for as the Ameer
has had for long time very little control
over the tribes in its vicinity; that they
were in continual state of revolt, and a
source of much uneasiness to the Ameer.
The latter, he believed, would willingly
concede Panjdeh to Russia, in the interest
of peace, as it would also likely prevent
cattle-rading on the border. 1t is now an
nounced that the Cabinet, after discussing
Earl Dufferin's message, adopted the same
view, of the matter.

AN IMBECILE'S WORK.
\ Horrible Accident Arouses a
Pennsylvania Community.
One Life Sacrificed in the Attempt to Save
Others-Four Persons Burned to Death.

READING, PENN, April 19.-One of tho
most horrible catastrophes that ever befel
shis community took place on the Alsace
truck farm of Augustus L. Wentzel, sew
sral miles from this city early this morn
ing. Itresulted in the awful death of four
persons through the neglect and careless
ness, and many persons believe, the direct
culpability of half-witted vagabond, the
object of Mr.. Wentzel's charity. The lat
ter's farm contains fifty acres of the most
highly cultivated land, and he makes
a speciality of raising all kinds of truck
for the city markets. He and his family
reside in large two-story mansion,
and near by there was a two-story frame
building, the second floor of which was used
as the sleeping quarters for his male hired
help: 1t was heated by means of stove on
the first floor. For the past several nights
It has also been occupied by two of Mr..
Wentzel's sons. Last night, therefore, four
persons retired to sleep in this building
Harry Wentzel, aged eleven; Charles
Wentzel; aged thirteen; Charles Hettinger,
ty-six; the latter two brothers and farm
!aborers. At four O'Clock this morn
ing Mr.. Wentzel and family were
aroused from their slumbers by the cries of
Fred Hettinger in his night clothes, land ,look-
ing out, they saw the frame building on fire.

tirst thought being for the safely of his
sons. The smoke was bursting in heavy vol
umes through the windows and the fire was
gaining rapid headway. Hastily procuring
ladder, he reached the second -story win
dow, but was unable to get inside, owing
to the smoke and fire, which burned
his hands and face and singed his hair. In
the mean time Hettinger endeavored to
rescue some of the sleepers by way of the
stairway, and just as he reached the room
the entire building fell in. burying him in
the debris, and, with the others, slowly
roasting him to death, Mr.. Wentzel making
narrow escape. The four bodies were
afterward taken from the ruins, charred
and unrecognizable. Bells were rung and
the entire neighborhood aroused when
the fire was discovered, but the
people could do nothing. The fire
was looked upon as a very mysterious one
until over an hour afterward, when @
weak-minded fellow known in the neighbor-
hood as Danny Knoll, aged about forty,
who has often slept in Mr.. Wentzel's barn
put in an appearance, and in an innocent
manner related the following story: He
came to Mr.. Wentzel's at II O'Clock last
night, after all had retired. He entered the
building, where the four were sleeping
and found comfortable fire in the stove. He
fixed for himself bed on bench near by
aud fell asleep. About three O'Clock he
awoke and found the fire nearly out. He
put on some coal, and then concluded tt
walk to Martin Werner's, neighbor, one
and a half miles away. When he got there
he saw the fire at WentZel's.

ROMANCE, INSANITY, MURDER
Made Insane by Jeers, Man Kills His
Wife, Babe and Himself.

UTICA, N. Y, April 15.-George H.
Humpf, section-hand on the New York
Central Road, killed his wife and four
days-old child, near Indian Castle Church,
Herkimer County, on Monday, and then
committed suicide. He had been insane
for several weeks, and watch had
been placed over his actions. While
in Germany he was betrothed to a
widow with one child, and after coming
here sent for them. On the arrival of his
affianced he discovered that she had in
the meantime had smallpox and was
badly pitted. This fact oVercame his af-
fection, and he refused to marry her, but
endeavored to compromise by wedding
the daughter instead, which proposition
the latter rejected. Subsequently Humpf
went to Germany where he married his late
wife. His former love and her daugh-
ter still live in that vicinity. and on
Humpfs return with his bride his fellow
workmen began to harass him with allu-
sions to the widow. This was continued,
and so preyed upon his mind as to induce
insanity. He grew worse after the birth
of his child, and he was to have been re-
moved to an insane asylum yesterday.

should be. Many positions held at

The Prohibitionists' Plans.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 16.-The Prohi-
bitionists are already outlining their cam
paign for the next Presidential election
Secretary Swoger, of this city, in an inter-
view to-day, said: "The candidates will
come, ,one from the strongest Northern State,
the other from the strongest Southern
State. Judge Hopkins, of New York,
will almost certainly head the ticket,
and Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, will
likely to be the candidate for the
Hopkins, in 1882, polled $4,000 votes in the
Gubernatorial election, and Senator Col
quit is one of the most popular men of the
South. Although still member of the
Democratic parry, we have had assurances
that in the next Presidential election he
would sever his allegiance from the old
party and join with the Prohibition party.
The two men have named will in all prob
ability be our ticket three years hence"
