Ranges of Cholera.

MADRID, Aug. 22.-The condition of
Granada remains pitiable Hudreds of
people are attacked by cholera in single
streets nearly every day. There are no
doctors and no authorities to look after the
victims, who often pass through their ago
MES IN the streets and expire unattended in
the cutters. Most of the unaffected popu-
lace have fed, and the few healthy citizens
that remain are diSheartened and apathetic.
COrpSeS remain uncOffined and uniden-
tilted. The very misery wrought
by the plague has become a nuisance and
the government has reSorted to the desper-
ate eXpedient of compelling the soldiers and
the cOnvictS to carry ON the work of remOv-
ing from the public ways and interring the
bodies of the unknown dead During the
past twelve hours twenty-three new cases
of cholera and eleven deaths were reported
IN this city, and in the province outside of
the city 100 new cases and thirty-One deaths
were reported.
There were reported throughout Spain
to-day 4,519 new cases of cholera and l, 22O
deaths.
MARsEILLEs, Aug. 22.-The cholera is
spreading in this city. Thirty localities are
now infected. One hundred and forty
deaths occurred here yesterday. Thirty
persons died OF cholera during the past
night
Forty-six deaths from cholera occurred in
this city to-day and $50 new cases were re-
ported. In TOulon 10 new cases and 7
deaths occurred during the past twenty-four
hours. The municipal council of MarSeilles
will demand from the government cholera
relief credit of 60, coo francs.
GIBRALTAR, Aug. 22.-Cholera has
ceased in Gibraltar.

good fellows. Whether he would accept a
nomination is not known. Certain
it is, however. that he is we'll
qualified to discharge the duties of
the office with satisfaction TO the public.
peculiarly so, perhaps, for he is possessed
of a high degree of what is popularity known
as good, hard common sense. a gift which
is often noticeable because of its absence i'm
men who sometimes attain high positions
in both business and public careers. The
man who would ill the Office of mayor ac-
ceptably need not necessarily be politician
or an orator, but should be a practical bust
ness man, free from personal or political bias.
one who will at least make the endeavor of
treating all persons with equal considera-
ton, and who will not allow clique or
faction to ride rough-shod over the rights
of others who happen for the
the ''outs." Without casting any
reflections upon the administration
of the very pleasant old gentleman who nils
the mayors chair at present, and without
intending to put Mr.. Walsh in the position
of being before the people as candidate. il
is not going too far TO merely mention the
fact that while he is ''Some" as an orator
and statesman, he is also endowed with
these requisite qualities of head and heart.
In addition, he possesses an executive
ability which would prove equal to any
emergency. While Mr.. Walsh seems so
admirably adapted to becoming a governor
for the municipal engine, it would be per-
haps asking too much TO urge HIM to
enter the mayoralty contest. His
term of office as alderman expires
this coming spring, and that of
treasurer the following November. Add
to this the fact that he Is a Democrat living
in Republican ward, city and county. and
it can readily be seen that he probably has
his hands already full, without being asked
to take upon himself the additional load of
a candidacy for mayor. Should, however,
such an event occur as his election. the
duties of the Office will not be entirely new
to him, for, as president of the city council
during the administration of Mayor Ames.
he was frequently called to assume the po-
sition of acting mayor, in which capacity
he invariably proved acceptable.

THE RECORD BEATEN.
A1O-POund Dun,bbeI PutUp 0,0O0
Tiu,aS I'm pours 10 Minutes.

A1O.POuud Dumb belI Put Up 200
Times in s Hours, 10 Minutes.
1t is a Minneapolis athlete who now has
the honor of having beaten the worlds
record in dumbbell swinging. 1t came about
thusly:
Some months ago Fox's Police Gazette
published the following: l have read of
wonderful feats of lifting, but l think the
feat alleged to have been accomplished al
Chicago by Prof. III. q. Ottignon the boss.
Using ten-pound dumbbell, curling il
from the thigh, the back of the hand touch
ing the thigh, and changing hands at each
hundred, in twenty-one working days, az
gregating IL hours. 431 minutes, he has
put up the dumbbell %, 200 times, an equiv
alent TO raising 252. 900 or 1876 tons.
On the first day it took him thirteen min
uteS TO put it up 600 times, but he increased
his sped with each succeeding day, until
Feb. he put it up 1900 times in fifty
seven and three-qusrters minutes. That
was his greatest days work. His other best
days were 1900 times in fifty-two and a
half minutes, 1,600 in forty-two minutes,
l. 400 on six days in from thirty-fOur to
forty-four and quarter minutes, and 1.2OO
on five days in from thirty-one 10 forty-two
minutes.
Theodore c. l.. MOeller. a barber en-
ployed in the shop under the First National
bank, had for about two years manipulated
the dumbbells, but more for healthful rec
reation than for sporting aspirations. lie
became an expert and his feats attracted
considerable local celebrity. At the time
the Police Gazette item above was published
Mr.. MOeller remarked that he felt confident
that he could defeat the act. Regarding
his ability to accomplish it, however,
there was a diversity of opinion
MOeller went into training and in the col
umns of the GLOBE he announced his in
tention to beat the dumbbel swinging
record. Jacob Cline. in conversation yes
terday. disputed his ability. whereupOn
MOeller proposed to wager that ne could
manipulate the dumb bells 10000 times in
four hours. \ bet of $50 a side was made at
once and the test occurred in a private
room. Charles Foster was chosen referee
and ID. c. Heylman timekeeper. Moeller
weighed just fifty-three pounds and picked
up the ten-pound dumbbell at precisely
O'Clock. changing from hand to hand as
indicated in the Gazette paragraph. At
the end of three hours and nineteen min
utes he had swung the bells the prescribed
10000 times. This feat so far diStanced
the record that he stands literally without
competition. Some man last year put up d
ten-pound bell IA, 900 times i'm eight hours
and the feat attracted worldwide notice.
As natural consequence Mr.. Moeller and
his friends fell highly elated.

ADAsTARDEY ATTEMPT
To RurgIarize "a Safe in the Immac-
uIate Conception Church.

Saturday morning evidence was found of
an attempt to burglariZe a safe IN the
sacristy of the Immaculate Conception
church. Friday evening some person or
persons entered the church and remained in
hiding until after it was locked. An en-
trance to the Sacristy was then effected
during the night by breaking in a door lead
ing from the altar. Two holes We're bored
in the door of the safe near the lock. but at
this point the operations appear to have
ceased, the thieves evidently being fright
ened away from some cause. In the morn
ing matches were found scattered about by
the hundreds, which had been used to fur
niSh light, and the drill which had been
used in boring. The safe contained the
books and records of the parish and two
golden chalices valued at $500. No clue
has been attained as to the identity of the
perpetrators of the sacrilegious outrage.
Appearances indicate that at least two per-
SONS were concerned in the attempt, and
that the work was that of professional
craftsmen

At about $50 last evening a seedy-look-
ng individual walked with a sang froid air
INTO the First precinct station. He was APP
parently a shade over 80 years of age and
wore a full black cropped beard. He ap-
preached Tailor Needham and inquired II he
was in charge. Being answered in the
affirmative. the stranger visitor stated that
he had come to deliver himself up for muir
der. committed about fourteen months ago.
The TAILOR looked at him in blank amaze

harmless in every outward aspect.
Il am starving, - said he. Il have had not

some remnants of a number of suppers and
