THE COMING CHOLERA.

A Startling Presentation Of the fmpend-
ing Dangers by thc New York Medical
Record.
New YORK, Jan. 30.-The New York Msdi-
cal Record, in an article headed use the e oi-
demic Fund" fecurs to the cholera question,
noticing the recommendation of the Congress.
sioDal Committee on Public Health of an ap-
pronriatlon of S250.000 t. the National Board
ni Health, and OF 5000 to be used at the
PRESIDENTS discretion in Keeping cholera away.
The writer says: "ln the ordinary course Of
affairs, II such appropriations are passed, the
funds are not available before tho 4th of
March; meantime ths SEASON is fast apps oach-
ing when the first cases of cholera, ihs avant
conFier5 of the epidemic, make their appear
ance among the immigrants. In my opinion,
II adequate preventive measures are to be
planned aud pat into successful execution
against the present threatened invasion, tue
whole machinery must be in full operation at
the latest, as early as the Let of April. An it,
Vaslon of cholera means tae death OF thous-
ands OF the laboring people, the occurrence Of
tens OF thousands of cases of sickness, and the
loss of millions of dollars in business. In our
view, prevention at any cost is comparatively
cheap. The National Beard of Health should
meet at once and continue in session until its
measures are not only mstured, but put into
effective operations. 1t is stated that it has
no means, even to pay ofics rent, owing to the
failure OF Congress to make an appropriation
last year. If that is true there is still the epi-
damic fund to be used at the discretion OF the
President in the event of threatened or actu-
al epidemic. There is no reason why the ex-
penses OF the board should not be betrayed
out of that fuhd. President Arthur knows
well what an epidemic of cholera means to the
health and business interests of Nov York.
Let us ask him in all seriousness, ii cholera Is
not sufficiently threatening to make it ipcum-
bent upon him to use that fund to prevent the
invasion"
The article concludes with the opinion,
THAT every days delay on the part OF the
general government to employ all the means
at its command to meet the Increasing emer.
gency is an unpsrdouable trifiing with the
lives OF the people and the future business of
the country"

BOSTON, Jan. 30-The Department of Mas
sachusetts e. A. r., resumed its session tc-
day, 344 delegates present. The committee to
consider the several topics in the commanders
address made report. The principal features
of interest were that it wasinexpedient for any

partment to take any action at the present
time On the matter OF requiring posts desr-
ing to circulate petitions to forward them to
headquarters, the convention decided not to
sHstain the recommendation of the commander
and to ALLOW posts to act at their pleasure The
resolution of Comrade e. B. Loring Of Post 10,
instructing delegates to the National Encamp-
ment to favor the Lowering bill, granting q
general pension of IS per month to all soldiers
and sailors who served in tho army and navy
for period OF 60 days or moro then camo up
and many eloquent speeches we're made both
for and against the resolution. A vots was
then taken by rosts and the resolution was de-
feated 2l4 to 253.

STOOD ON END.
A Narrow Escape frsm n Fearful Rail
road Disaster.


NEW YoRK, Jan. 3d. The Graphic has the
following particulars OF railroad accident on
the Reading railroad this morning, at Green
vile, N. j.: The train was composed of four
cars, two coaches, parlor coach and combi-
nation smoking and express car. Just beyond
Greenviile the forward trucks Of the smoker
left the rails, and the car pounded along on
the sleepers. As it passed a SWITCH with
final bound it dashed into train OF loaded
coars standing on the switch, and the whole
side OF the car was torn out and the furniture
and fittings piled up in confusion upon the ter
rifed passengers. The parlor car turned over
on its side, and the next coach stood mp on end
with the rear car partly under it. About 70
passengers we're on board, and it is remarkable
that many were not killed outright. AS far as
can be ascertained, the injured are as follows:
W. Calhoun of Philsdelphia, head cut Sc
verely, both thighs injured, and severe inter-
nal injuries.
B. Wsnk, Philadelphia, seriously cut
J. Kelley. Philadelphia, left arm injured.
j. I. Holloway, of Philadelphia, j. Connel-
~ of Philadelphia, e. @. Naphews OF Phila-
delphia, bruised and cut.
III. ID. Corcoran of Philadelphia, head cut,
and Charles Frailey, Bound Brook, cut and
bruised.
H. G. Wade, Bound Brook, bruised.
The rear brakeman broke the upper windows
OF the rear coach, and helped out the passen-
gers. The newsboy, d. Curran, said that he
was in the rear car, and after the car had
pumped &lOng IOr lew minutes IL stood on
end. and then he fell over the stove and was
pulled out of the window. The overturned
stove set fire to the wreck in several places,
but it was extinguished by the efforts of the
brakemen and rescued passengers. A Long
Branch express train came along nine minutes
after the disaster, and it was stopped by the
danger signal. A special train was sent out
from Jersey City, and brought back the pas
sengers from these trains. Those from Phiia-
delphia were all more or less the worse for
their shaking up, and their torn clothing, dirt
begrimed facss, blooG-stained here and there,
bstckened the ordeal through which they had
passed. Several gentlemen who were cut and
bruised severely, refused their names for pub
licstion on account of alarming their friends.
The track is torn up for long distance, and
the tender and cars are piled up in confused
mass. The cause of the accident cannot be
ascertained, but it is certain that the cars were
of the track for some distance beyond the
switch, thus proving that the latter was not
the cause of the disaster.
In view of the speed at which the train was
running at the time of the accident, it is con-
sidered marvellous that the casualties were not
more numerous and more serious than they
were. The train was going at the rate of fifty
miles an hour, and yet no person was killed,
and no one received injuries which are consid-
cred fatal. In all about 20 persons received
hurts. Both tracks were blocked, and the
passengers were transferred around the wreck.
The engineer and conductor of the train are
both oldiand experienced employees

THE SALVATION ARMY.
PresensaIiOn of Colors Last Might.

Yesterday noon twenty-five OF the blood
washed warriors OF Saco with their officers
and various high officials OF the Salvation
Army arrived in this city to attend the presen-
tation of colors to the little soldiers of Port
land. The battalion formed and marched to
the barracks on Middle street with firm step
and flying colors.
The afternoon was spent by the visitors in
divers ways. The Portland squad were sD
busily engaged in preparing for the banquet
and judging from the proiusion of cake, pis
and other eatables which, filed the tables the
Army soldiers are supposed to have goodsa
tites.
Precisely at quarter of five the Army was
again put in motion. This march had for its
objective poi5t the residence Of Captain Hap
py Bill Gray, where serenade Of bass drums
and tsmbourine music was rendered Mrs.
Gray. As the ranks proceeded mp Pearl street
large accessions Of the Salvation militia were
constantly made. The bass drum doomed, the
flags au.tered, the army sang aud lage crowd
followed in the rear of the procession OF the
faithful. The flags contained different quota
tionS and preceptS.
In the evening nearly every seat in City
Hall was occupied when the army filed into
The tones of their peculiar music and after
marching through the aisles ascended the
stairs to the platform.
After many of the converts had related their
experiences. and the saved minstrel had sung,
Major Smith spoke, the following being an ab-
stract OF his remarks:
1t is now nineteen and one-hali years since
General Booth founded in London the Christ
ian Mission. This Mission was reorganizsd
and became the Salvation Army seven years
ago. Four years have passed since tire frat
Salvation Army squad landed az Castle Gar
den, New York. Tie Amy has entered near
lyevsry country on the globe, Russia and
China being among the exceptions.
1t is said that our work produces q tempo
rary excitement productive sno lasting good
This can disprove by instancng the cases Of
converts Of four years standing. Oar methods
have been criticized but all we can say is for
them not to grumble, but to come aud show us
better way, and We will adopt 1t. We be-
lieve that every church has q work to do and
that We also have a work. As one of my
friends has said "you can't catch all kinds Of
fishes with one kind of bait" We are sorry
If our ways offend anybody. We are not a
chHrch; we have no creed, for many Of our SOL
diers could not read it. We proclaim saliva
tion to sinners.
We do not want riots, bot we can stand
them. We can get along without the aid of
the authorities II necessary, but will not refuse
ii if offered.
Major Smith then presented the colora TO
the Little Soldiers, after which another hymn
was sung the army becoming very enthusiastic
in their efforts. The meeting cams to a close
aud the line Of march was resumed to the bar
racks where all were invited to come and get
something to eat.
