The Epidemic at Marseilles.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3-The Secretary of
State has received detailed report from Consul
Mason in regard to the cholera at Marseilles.
He comments on the false policy of the authori-
ties in endeavoring to suppress the truth as to
the existence of the disease, and speaks of the
sensation caused by the rude awakening on the
14th ult, when the community was shocked
by the announcement that an epidemic prevailed
in their midst. He says, further, that then
the city realized that it was in the first stage of
an epidemic of real Asatic cholera, which had
not been imported from Spain or elsewhere.
The most elementary principles of sanitary
cleanliness are unknown in Marseilles The
cutters of the streets flow with the veriest filth.
The canals and sewers are infected. On the
eastern side of the old part is one building
which contains 700 inhabitants, whose excreta
are thrown into recesses of the stairway
From the 1st to the 10Th of August
there were 72l Deaths or an average of 38 per
day. The disease has also appeared seriously in
the suburbs Of the city. The malady has been
in relatively more fatal form than last year,
and has been particularly serious with Sc amen
from England and Scandinavia. The present
situation and the record of the past secondary
epidemics in detail show that the scourge has
perhaps reached its maximum stage, and will
gradually subside to finish in October or No

PARIS Sept. 3.-The Paris publishes the fol-

Spanish newspapers accuse France of seeking

accusation is absolutely false. The great bur-

an end of conflict which tends to cause fresh

The ease with which new trials are
secured in the courts of the land, and
the readiness with which the verdicts of
luries are set aside, prompts 7. B. Me-
Farland to discuss the injustice of these
proceedings in the February Ocerland
Monthly. Really" he says, "a mans
right to have his case tried by iury
amounts to little. if verdict in his ia
vor can be set aside by Judge. Logi-
cally, the verdict should be final; and il
any instructions are given by the Judge,
they should be considered as only ad-
visory. If juries cannot be trusted,
then the whole jury system should be
abolished. To such convictions are
men driven who perceive the frequency
with which new trials are obtained.
The lower courts are coming to be
simply courts of preliminary consider
alton. A rich plaintiff or defendant is
rarely discouraged by his first knock
down. Might it not be good thing,
tending TO restore the Importance of the
jury-verdict, to permit a juror to leave
a case on confession of his inability to
understand the bearings of evidence?-

operations, at Yellow Springs Wednesday
night, of a gang of burglars, who entered the
drugstore of Charles Ridgway by the Xenia

ting In, blew the safe open. rifed it OF the
contents, something over S5c in money, and
a pair of gold rimmea spectacles that were
valued highly as having belonged to Mr. RS
father, and other valuables, and emptied the
cases in the stole of the most valuable case
goods in stock. Mr. Ridgway and family,
who reside next door, did not hear the report
when the safe was blown, but some of the
neighbors did, but did not know what it was
nor where. The blowing occurred about one
O'Clock. The belief is Dayton talent is to be

Too Much Water.

Railroad attorneys who with elabor-
ate tables show conclusively enough, SO
far as the figures 90, that their ccrpo-
rations have very hard time of it do
not take into account the amount OF
water which their stocks contain.
A railroad whose capital stock has
been doubled without the investment of
an additional dollar. or whose stock is
twice as much as the actual cost of the
road. is not suffering very much if it
only pays four or five per cent divi-
dend. Four per cent on stock actual
" worth about fifty cents on the dollar
is not bad.
According to Poor's Manual the wat
cred and wholly fictitious stock of rail-
roads IN this country on which divi-
dends are paid or expected amounts to
$4,000. 100000. Everything else in this
country has come down to hard pan.
The DAYS of ballooning are over. Capi-
tai must be content with safer and
slower methods and smaller returns.
WHY is it not Just and proper that some
of the water in these stocks should be
squeezed out?- Chicago Herald.
