There was some talk last summer
about the possibility of cholera germs be-
ing brought to this country IN fruit from
the Mediterranean. especially in raisins.
The idea was derided and it was not
thought worth while at quarantine to con-
slider seriously the suggestion that foreign
fruit might be dangerous. A dispatch
from Lansing. Mich. however. reports a
case of alleged cholera there after the
patient had been eating rasins prepared
in Valencia. Spain, last summer, when the
plague was raging.
The Ohio democrat, says the Tribune,
who does not blush over the report of the
House Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tons in regard to the election frauds in
Hamilton county last fall must indeed be
hide-bound partisan. More disgraceful
or more criminal conduct than gang of
Cincinnati politicians are shown to have
pursued last fall it is difficult to imagine.
They procured the casting of over 5000
illegal votes! If the members of the Gen.

1t is said in Washington that the recent
frec.trade stampede to save the title of the

has overhauled the Presid ent's fishing
tackle, arranged the flies and made other
preparations which indicate that the trout

captured on presidential hook. Hector,
the dog, which is the pride OF the Execu-
tive Mansion, has received an invitation
from Mrs. Cleveland to be one of Lhe

New York, Aug. 13.-A tie-up of an
unusual description is now in progress be-
tween New York and the coal ports of
New Jersey. On Monday last number
of boatmen who commanded the harbor
coal carrying trade quietly struck for
higher freight rates, higher wages and the
adjustment of several other grievances,
which have well nigh ruined what was
once q profitable business. The result of
the strike is a threatened blockade of the
Jersey coal ports. 1t is also threatened
that the tugboats towing between New
York and the different coal ports in Jer
sey will aid the strikers by refusing to
tow loaded boats.
The Knights of Labor are at the back oi
the strikers. The present tie-up affects
about 500 boats, and has increased the
business of the Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company and the Reading Rail
road which companies together own near
ly 300 boats.
The Executive Committee of the strik-
ing boatmen met this afternoon to try to
get the coal dealers to agree to pay them
the twenty-five cents ton ra'e for three
months, but no agreement was reached
