Another Epidemic Predicted for Now York
This Winter.

Another Epidemic Predicted for Now York
This Winter.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The sanitary authori.
ties are convinced that there is another Wis
itation of the dreaded influenza in this city,
aud it is expected that the malady will be
as severe as it was during the last epidemic
of 1889-9O. The indications which have
alarmed tho sanitary authorities arc found
in the large increase of deaths from diseases
OF the respiratory organs which has de-
veloped within the past week. The deaths
are greatly in excess Of the record for years
past.
OF the 11S deaths recorded at the bureau
of vital statistics for given day, thirty
nine were caused by diseases of the reBplra-
tory organs, and of the 10 deaths recorded
for another twenty-four hours, thirty-one
were from respiratory diseases. For two
weeks past the deaths from this class of dl-
seases have been on the increase. The In
crease was gradual at FIRST, but within the
past few days it has been verv rapid.
A number of physicians have reported to
the sanitary officials that they have under
treatment number of cases which in their
symptoms closely resemble those OF the
dreaded scourgs. and have expressed the
fear that the epidemic has made it's appear
ance here again.
An expert in the matter said that he had
no doubt of the presence of the grip, and
that he feared that il would be very severe
this fall and would prevail throughout the
winter.

SAVED FROM DEATH.

Presence of Mind of a Comrade Prevents
Two Fatalities.
BUTTE, Oct. 1.-[Special. Tom Lynch,
Billy O'Malley and Hod Hutchinson, three
miners employed in tho Butte Copper COM
pany's mine, an extension of the Blue Bird,
were seriously injured this morning while
descending the shaft. The men we're stand
ing in the bucket the oross-head of which
had become frozen to The guide timbe's,
causing it to become detached from the
bucket. After the men had been lowered
about fifty feet the swaying Of the rope
caused the detached piece to become free,
and it dropped down the shaft and onto the
mon. Lynch was struck on the shoulders,
and O'Malley on the head and arm. Both
men would probably have been thrown
from the bucket but. for the presence of
mind of Hutchinson, who caught them both
just in the nick of time and saved them
from fall of fully 100 feet. Lynch is the
more seriously hurt Of the two, his shoulder
blade being badly fractured, and several
months will elapas before he can work
again. sO'Malley was not injured very
much, and will soon recover. His head is
badly cut and his arm bruised.

FURIOUS DEPOSITORS.
Tremendous Excitement Over Two Bank
Failures In psnnsy1vania.


Failures In Pennsylvania.
HourzDALE, Pa, Oct. 1.-Eycitement
over the suspension OF tho Garfield and
Houtzdale banks continues. When tho de-
positors were informed that they were
likely to receive less than 30 per cent. OF
their money tho lower classes formed IN
squads and shouted excavations and threats
against the officers that would certainly
have been put In execution had the latter
been found. A largo delegation OF
Houtzdale citizens called on President Dill
at Clearfiold tonight and demanded and
pleaded with him that he make some eatis-
factory statement. They pointed out that
tho two towns were actually threatened
with financial ruin, and other disasters in
the future from private individuals were to
be feared unless he made some sort Of q
statement staten q showing what ne could 1 d1s ana
itors Of the two banks. 10 all these plead
ings President Dill returned answer that he
was all right and the banks were all right
and If the depositors stood by him they
would be all right.
This afternoon receivers for the Houtz-
now in charge. Bank Examiner Miller
took possession Of the CIearield
bank. At the time OF suspension
the Hontzdale bank had deposits Of
$500, 900 but there was less than 100000 in
the vaults. This afternoon and tonight
affairs have become alarming. Men and
women clarnored at the doors in vain and
pressure before the doors became 80 great
that 2 strong guard Of policemen,
to beat Tie bowling depositors back
with clubs, as 1t was feared the bank
would be demolished and looted. Presi-

Attempt to Wreck Train Carrying
Emperor Francis Joseph,
OF Austria.
Dynamite Bombs Placed on g
Bridge Over Which the
Train Passed.
in the Life of the Fuse
Liberal Conference - BoulAnger's
Political Testament.

VIENNA, Oct. 1.--l5mperor Francis Joseph
arrived in safety mt Reichenberg, near
Pragne, this morning and with his advent
the news Of an attempt upon his life spread
all over Austria. The general opinion il
the news circulating is either untrue or else
exaggerated. but it caused great consserna-
tion. The story ia that last night an at
tempt was made with dynamite bomb to
blow up the railroad bridge at Kosenthal,
suburb Of KeicheEberg. This is said to
have occurred shortly before the emperor's
train passed over the bridge. Some rail-
road men said they saw the would-be assas-
sins as they were upon the point OF attach
ing bomb to the bridge structure and BY
appearing upon the scene frustrated their
design.
Official investigation shows that two
bombs charged with nitro-Rlycerine we're
placed on the bridge. Attached to the
bo mbs was time fuse, evidently calculated
to cause an explosion at the moment the
imperial train was passing the spot. The
would -be-assassins seem, however, to have
niscalculated tn time the train was to pass
naar the bombs, or else they werc ut fault
az to the length OF the life OF the fuse used.
III any case the fuse acted at about 11:3O p.
m., Wednesday,, before the imperial train
even drew near to tho dangerous location.
The explosion destroyed masonry above
and about the bridge tunnel and disturbed
the road, but did not affect the bridge
structure. Railroad officials Immediately
set gang of men to work upon thu struct-
ure and soon had it in good repair, conse-
quently when the imperial train passed
this morning there was little or no
trace Of the explosion. No arrests have
been made in connection with the attempt
and officials who have charge Of the lnves-
tigation profess to be OF the opinion that
the explosion was intended as demon
stration OF disapproval with some OF the
emperor's acts and that those engaged in
the Demonstration had no intention OF
taking his life. The general feeling is ono
Of indignation against those engaged in the
conspiracy. and the emperor's loyal sub
jects are unanimous in expressing the hope
| that the bomb exploders may be caught
] and severely punished. The police are nc
lively engaged in following up the clues al
ready obta ined.

Jay Gould in Mysteries.

New York, Dot. Ia story was rife in
Wall street to-day that Jay Gould had a
stroke of apoplexY. 1t is said to have
arisen from remarkable incident at the
meeting of the Missouri Pacific directors
Wednesday. After lengthy statement by
Gould, the directors decided to declare
no dividend for the current quarter, when,
to the surprise of everybody, Russell Sage
moved reconsideration of this ac-
tion. Gould was evidently under
severe mental strain. When Sage
made the motion he attempted
to oppose it but suddenly became pale and
sank back in his chair, IL Is said in nervous
tit OF prostration. Then he became
hysterical, wept and sighed alter
nately and physician had to be
called in. After time he overcame
the nervous excitement Of his patient and
Gould left the room with him. 1t is said
that George Gould took Sage to task saw
agely and that tho old gentleman became
quite ratified under the castigation he re-
ceived for his unfortunate break.
