Cholera Spreading in MarsiIles.
Criminal Law Bill Passes Commors--
AnElo-Chinese Alliance.

LONDON, August 7.-Whatever may be
the nature or the cause of the cholera in
Marseilles, and whatever view Of the dis
ease in that city may be adopted or pub
hshed by the municipal and National au-
thorities, it is certain that the scourge is
spreading rapidly, and ehdangering the
lives of the inhabitants throughout the
city as we'll as of travellers who may be de-
eeived as to the peril which threatens them
there. The facts that continually come to
light contradict the statements made
by the officials, and betray
q condition of things which
menaces still further spread Of the epi-
demic. The latest of these unconcealable
facts is the reopening of the Pharos Hos
pital, which has been absolutely necessary
in consequence of the unabated increase Of
the cholera. All the beds In the other hos
pitfalls are already occupied, and If the
number of cases continues to increase In
the same ratio as at present, the Pharos
will soon find its accommodations severely
taxed.

The site chosen for General Grants tomb
is one of the most picturesque spots in the
country. 1t is on knoll overlooking, and
100 feet above, the Hudson River. From
it the Hudson, with its ever changing pano-
rama of boats, can be seen for twenty miles
to the north. To the east is the valley of
Manhattanville and that portion of New
York City that is destined to be the ultra
fashionable quarter. To the south can be
seen the harbor of New York, and looking
west across the Hudson are the grand Palf-
sades, and from here can be seen the clump
of trees that mark the spot where Hamil-
ton fell in his duel with Aaron Burr. The
hotel called the Claremont, few hundred
feet south of here, was built at the close of
the last century ,and is historical as having
numbered among its guests Thomas Jeffer-
son, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr.
From this site the monument can be seen
by the many thousands of tourists who
come to New York by way of the Hudson.

STRANGE HP1r,Eno.
Five Deaths Already Reported, and Nun-
ber Ill.

Der
VALPARAISO, INp., August 5.-At Porter
Station, village of three hundred inhaof-
tants, twelve miles from this city, in the
extreme northwestern part of the county,
an epidemic is raging which in the last
three days has carried off five persons,
leaving fifteen dangerously Ill and about
twenty five others of whose condition
the doctors can not speak with any de-
gree of certainty. The people OF the VII
lage are mostly Swedes, of cieanly, thrifty
habits, and until the present epidemic
broke out among them they have
been remarkably healthy. About ten days
ago the first symptoms of the scourge made
its appearance, and manifested itself In
vomiting and diarrhetic discharges. The
doctors were at a loss as to the cause, ana
were unable to prescribe any remedies 70
The afflicted stated they felt a sort of
leaden weight the stomach and bowels,
which quickly changed to the vomit-
ing and discharges. A remarkable
peculiaritty observable in those % Wno
while they retain clear consciousness to
the last yet the eyes give forth a wild ex-
preston and the general appearance OF the
countenance conveys the idea OF insanity
The most powerful drugs have failed to
give Temporary check to the disease. Por-
ter is supplied with meats by butchers OF
Chestertown, one mile east. Investigation
has revealed that one rneat-shop has not
been kept in a healthy condition, the night
watch having stated that on few occas-
ions he could hardly pass the door on ac-
count of the unpleasant odors emitted,
while a doctor of the town, who few
days ago entered the cooling room, assert
ed that never did he experience worse
odor in a college dissecting-room. Unfor.
tunately for the people of Porter, it is said
that it was the proprietor of the market
who supplied them with the bulk of their
| meats. The poison which has caused the
deaths SO far is of an alkaloid nature. The
| following are the deceased: Mrs. Trowe,
aged fifty; August Eust,lfson, aged twelve,
and two children under ten years. The
| case appears to be similar to that which
| occurred recently at Molnence, Ill.

This is a novel device intended solely to
prevent ghouls from stealing the remains
in the hope of large reward for their re-
covery. The case is made of one-inch Be-
semer steel. The open lid was riveted
in Immediately after the remains were de-
posted there.
This is the fourth case which surrounds
the remains. The first case to envelope the
body is of polished copper; this lines the
casket. The plate glass top is set in a
frame of copper, which was soldered to the
copper lining of the casket at Mt. McGre-
gor, thus making an air-tight covering.
The casket itself is of solid oak, one and
one-half inches thick. 1t is covered with
imperial purple velvet, with silver trim
mings. The plate is of solid gold four by
six inches, and bears in plain letters the
