less than forty five cases of malignant dys-
entery within the last two months, and
many iphabitante in a little hamlet near by
have suffered wish the plague and nine
died, but in Hamburg, where the disease
originated. its ravages have been greatest.
Twenty deaths have occurred. A doctor
says it was unquestionably plague of epi-
demic. contagious dysentery. Others be-
lieve the disease is species of cholera,
such as was predicted would follow the gem
eral epidemic of grippe last spring. There
is foul pig pen in the village on the edge
of pond and within ten feet of large
cemetery. For years it has not been cleaned
out and refuse has been accumulating all
this time. -

bill In Europe, the Halifex Herald says
Whatever other countriss may do, we

United States. II is. therefore. in it's ma
ture, an act of war on the British empire to
bring about its dismemberment Will
Great Britain go on affording her enemies
the same rsde facilities in her ports that
she accords her own children? The case
for discrimination against the United
States. in view of the policy they have
adopted, is too strong to be successfully re-
sisted. The empire cannot afford to stan.

IN AT THE LAST CALL.
A Wild Rush Of Importers to Enter Goods
Before the Gates Are Closed.


Before the Gates Are Closed.
New York, Oct. 4.-The most intense ex-
citement prevailed in and about the custom
house all day. Whole troops of importers
and brokers kept coming and going. Ar
three O'Clock approached the number in
creased until the rotunda was filed with q
solid mass of humanity, which iostled,
pushed and yelled. All wished to get their
entries in under the old law, and stood
ready to make them the moment the vessels
we're sighted at Fire Island. BY decision
of yesterday the custom house was to have
closed at three o'clock this afternoon. The
mass of importers and brokers in the Gus
tom house was SO great at three O'Clock that
Collector Erhardt announced that the time
was extended until four o'clock. Each mo-
ment after three O'Clock the excitement be-
came greater. Those in the rotunda
appeared to be going crazy. They
shouted, yelled and made futile efforts
to move about. The clerks in the various
divisions were swamped with business Not
for years has such scene been enacted in
the custom house. The collector was in a
quandary. His Office was jammed full OF
importers, who waved rolls in their hands
and shouted to him not to close. The
pressure on the collector became 80 great
that nnally ne telegraphed secretary VIM
dom for advice. The secretary soon replied
for the collector to use his discretion in the
matter. Accordingly the collector decided
to keep the custom house open till12 pollock
tonight. The importers cheered, as many
of them had steamers on the way which
were expected to arrive tonight.
At $50 p m. the City of Chicago was en-
tered and great part of the waiting crowd
was relieved. At 6:05 p. m. the steamer
Reeulus. with cargo of laces, silks and
velvets, was entered. There was still due
the Etruria, the Thingyalla and the Zaan-
dam, and news of them was anxiously
awaited. At 1890 p. M. it became known
that the Etruria had been sighted off the
outer bar at 9:34 p. m. At one minute of 12
O'Clock the captain of the Etruria had not
arrived. Ten seconds later, when half the
lights were out, carriage came on rush
to the door and a great shout went up.
From it jumped Captain Haines, who was
Immediately behind the counter and entered
his vessel just before the clock struck mid
night. Three cheers and tiger were given
for him. The captain had come up in q
special tug and was driven at breakneok
speed from the dock to the custom house.
yhe receipts at the custom house to-day
were l,14, ,5S3, the second largest amount
taken in there since the war. The receipts
for the week were over six million dollars.

The Life They Lead Among the Sinners
of Salt Lake.

The Life They Lead Among the Sinners
of Salt Lake.
NEW YORK, Oct, 4.-Miss Inez Coultre,
called at the barge Office today for the pur-
pose of lending her assistance to the gov
tion of Mormon women. Miss Coultre for
a couple of years past has been engaged as
school teacher in Salt Lake, and is con-
nected with the Presbyterian mission of
this city. She was introduced to Rev. DR..
Drumm, port chaplain of the Protestant
Episcopal church, to whom she told what
she knew of the life Mormons lead. Among
other things Miss Coultre says one
of the chief arguments of the Mormon
elders to get converts is ''that the Messiah
is soon to appear in the Zion of the Latter
Day Saints, and that all who are not there
are lost" Incidentally large amount of
money is shown to the people whom the
Mormons are trying to capture. Gold
catches the eye, and they are ready to do
almost anything to get it. Nothing is said
about polygamy. The elders abroad take
care to select the best-looking young women
they can get. When Utah is reached some
elders for the sake of getting them more
looking of the women are
then taken by rich old Mormon
elders and become ''sealed wives" After
hearing the story DR.. Drumm told the most
Of 1t to Gen. OBrien. The latter requested
Miss Coultre to make statement, which
she promised to do. 1t will be forwarded
to the attorney general of the United States
Monday, who will be asked to decide
whether or not Mormon converts are
criminals. DR.. Drumm claims they are.
If the attorney general decides they are,
then the superintendent of immigration
will bar them.

Partial staxnation OF Trade.

New York, Oct. 4.-Dispatches from sew
eral points along the border of Canada tell
of great rush to ship to the United States
all barley, peas, eggs, ETC., possible before
the Mckinley bill goes into effect. Buyers
have stopped buying anything more in the
lines affected by the tariff bill in the United
States markets and in several points this
has caused almost stagnation in barley.
eggs, apples, etc. A majority of this sea-
sons production will get to market under
the old tariff.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Secretary Window,
Assistant Secretaries Nettleson and Spauld-
ing, and General Appraiser Tichenor spent
the day over the questions that have arisen
in regard to the execution Of the new tariff
law, which takes elect Monday morning.
Several importers, dosirous Of receiving the
full benefits of the existing tariff rates, ap-
piled to the treasury department. for per-
mission to enter their goods at the custom
house up to midnight Sunday. Assistant
Secretary Spaulding has informed them
thar th' is n matter entirely within the dis.
cretion of collectors of customs at the yari-
GUS ports, and that the department. is not
disposed to interfere in the matter. Gen,
Spaulding said to-day that he did not antic.
ipate any trouble with regard to the sxecu-
tion of the new law ON the Pacific coast by
reason of the failure Of the customs officers
to receive official copies Of the law by the
date it goes into opere tion, as entries made
on and after Monday under the present law
can be readily liquidated under the now
rates with very little extra labor.

but could be distinguished us calls Of
Murder" Fire" Help" etc. lie
thought il was some female in distress
and was sometime in locating the strange
noise. At last lie found it proceeded from
the stack-climncy in the centre of the
store. The proprietor was sent tor. Upon
opening the store the queer mutfled cries
were redoublcd. The merchant rccog-
nized the voice as that of his own son, a
boy nearly grown, who had for years
been of dissipated habits. and whom his
father had nothing to do with for some
time. The crate was taken out but the
boy could not he extricated fom his po-
sition. 1t was only after an hours work
and great hole had been cut in the
chimney above the mantcl that he WAS
taken out Of great mass Of SCOT and
blacker than any African. He explained
to his father that he was drunk. and had
tried to enter his store. Hc had been
drinking heavy the night before. Liquor
had been refused him. and he had climbed
on top of his fathers store. divcsted him
self OF his coat. vest. and hat. and slipped
down the chimney. lie did not know
that n CRATE had been placed in the
former open fireplace, and he was thus
caught like a rat in n trap.
