cholera. No REMEDY has been discovered

A great many poor families have lost
their only hog, which is of great conse.
quence to them, as it furnishes food in
winter when they are unable to find work.
Three farmers near Leipsic report the loss
of from 10 to ~ hogs each.

William H. Marquis, Jr.. son of ex-
Police Officer Marquis, is again in GUS
tody for larceny. He was released from
the New Castle Jail Tuesday where he
has been confined for similar oflense for
some time, and very soon after regtining
his liberty he visited the skating rink
from which he stole some small articles.
The lad is about IA years of age, neat,
pleasant faced little fellow. 1t is much
regretted that the reformatory home is
not ready for the reception of refractory
children, as it has been shown in this case
that the confinement in the county jail
does not have any reformatory results.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 21.-On the night of
the 18th instant, Patrick Herman, notorious
in the criminal annals of Baltimore, shot
and killed his uncle, Thos. Herman because
of disagreement on local politics. On
Saturday last the grand jury indicted
him, and to-day he entered plea of not
guilty. His counsel made an effort to
postpone the trial, but Judge Duffy
was firm and ordered it for
the 28th inst. When placed in the dock
the demeanor of the accused was defiant,
but before the reading of the indictment
was finished he weakened so much that
his plea was little more than whisper.

A SUNDAY sET-TO.
A PugiIistic Mill Hsaided by tho Poo
Iicc--'S hree Fighters Captured.

licc--'Shree Fighters Captured.
The police officers raided n pugilistic
mill while in operation on the New Castle
road below its forks Sunday afternoon
and captured Robert Graham, John Hag-
garty and George Geisler, who had given
exhibitions in the manly art, and Thomas
Mullen, John McClafferty, John Penning-
ton and George Lucas, who were among
the crowd ms spectators.
There had been several rounds fought
before the raid was made, the police
having been misinformcd as to the place
of the fight, and lost some time in going
to another point. In one battle between
tieisler and Graham, the former was
knocked out in three rounds and left the
ring, bearing evidence of the severe
punishment he had received. Haggarty
and another pugilist also had set. to, and
after several rounds the former was
"knocked OUT and very badly punished.
The battles were pretty severe, hard
fought and prolonged and all the princi-
pals quit the ring with evidences that
they had been engaged with heavy
hitters. The raid was complete sur
prise, entirely unexpected and threw the
300 spectators into the greatest confusion,
John Ilaggerty, George Geisler and
Robert Graham, were arraigned before
Magistrate O'Neill on Monday evening.
To the charges of prize fighting the pris-
oners pleaded not guilty. The evidence
showed that the fights were contests be-
tween the heaviest sluggers of the Hedge
vile and Old Church toughs, and that
they were not prize fights, because money
was not wagered upon the results. There
fore the prisoners could be held for dis
orderly conduct only. In each case a
fine of IS and costs was imposed. Had
the contests been prize fights each fine
would probably have been $500. The wit
nesses were George Lucas. John Pennington,
Thomas Mullen, James Quinn and John
McClaferty. The hearings lasted about
half an hour, and the result was anxiously
awaited by large crowd of men and
bows outside.
