ST. LOUIS, October S.-About 4;9o p. NJ. a
crowd congregated between Seventh and
Eighth, on Pine street, and commenced
unhitchine the horses from the cars of the
Union depot line. After this was accom-
plished they turned car crosswise of the
track, and then backing another and
another up the hill, pushed them rapidly
down hill until they would strike the cross
wise car. This was continued until
seven cars were piled up together, creating
a complete barricade. A tremendous crowd
gathered quickly, and fight was started,
In which an unknown "scab" was stabbed
with a clasp knife. By this time the police
were on the ground. and after sending the
wounded men TO the dispensary dispersed
the crowd. Several arrests were made,
but the matter is SO confused It is hard TO
say who did the stabbing. The cars upon
the embargoed lines were all Withdrawn at
8 o'clock, and no attempt was made to run

BLACK CHOLERA.
A Fishing Vessel Supposed to Have
Brought 1t Over From Spain.

Brought it Over From Spain.
HALIFAX, N. s.. October T.-Huntsville,
a little fishing hamlet Of about two thou
sand people, located forty miles from here
by rail. has been suffering from the "black
cholera apparently in its worst form the
past six weeks. II seems that Captain
Hunter, who commands the fishing smack
Eliza Ann, was taken suddenly and mystic
riously ill in the latter days Of August. His
malady puzzled the village physicians
sorely. They had two consultations, but
did not fully make up their minds what the
disease was until after Captain Hun
ter's death, which occurred within forty
eight hours of the time he was taken
III. Half an hour after he died
Hunters body began to turn, and in Snort
time was a dark blue all over. Then hor-
rible odor came from the corpse: BY this
time the doctors agreed that "black chol-
era" had been his fatal trouble. Notwltn.
standing this, however, they did not want
TO communicate their discovery to the
townspeople for fear it, would brighten
them too badly. II was only few days
before Mrs. Hunter ands her daughter,
Phoebe, were taken sick and died suddenly.
Then it was that the people first heard OF
Captain Hunters death. His body
had Deen DuTleu QulotlN " w
physicians before any of the neighhors
knew even that ne was at home.
After the death OF the other members OF
the family Il was decided to conceal the
presence OF the black cholera for fear that
the fishing vessels which cruise the Bay OF
Fundy and frequently put in through
Miners Bay to Huntsville for haven,
and the trade would be driven elsewhere.
So it was that the disease was allowed to
feed and spread until now a case has APP
reared at Windsor, a large town nearer
this CITY, and this afternoon twas rumored
that one had been reported in Halifax itself.
There have been thirty-two deaths from
the "black cholera" in Huntsville since
September 1, and il is feared that 1t has
been conveyed away to other points by the
fishing craft, Just as Captain Hunter took
it there. Where he got 1t nobody has any
idea except the half-witted mate, IRON
whom it was cleaned that the Captain had
been aboard rakish Spanish craft Just
from its home port. There isno doubt that
the number OF cases is rapidly increasing,
and that the disease will commit terrible
ravages on the Western Peninsula unless
radical means are taken TO stamp II out.
The people OF that section are very hard
to deal with in any such trouble,
for they do not understand the value OF
sanitary restrictions, and will take every
possible means to evade them. The form
OF the disease Is terrible. 1t is always Ia
tai in forty EIGHT hours, and frequently ON
the same day. Almost Immediately after
death the body turns black, emits horri-
BILE stencil, and has to be buried at once.
There is considerable alarm felt all along
the peninsula among people Intelligent
enough to understand the horrible malady.
