the Wyoming was only on the suspect
list, nowat 2 in the morning she can be
classed as a cholera ship. Mrs. Hersson,
the mother Of the two little children,
Eliza and Adelaide, who died yesterday
of a suspicious disease, has herself sue
cumbed TO the dread disease.
She with three more were removed
from the Wyoming during the late
afternoon yesterday. They were placed
in the hospital and Mrs. Hersson dled
during the night.
CHICAGO, September 1O.-Snortly be-
fore one O'Clock this morning four car
loads OF immigrants arrived at the
Union depot from Sweden, by way OF
New York and P.ttsburg. The train
came here with a clean bill Of health,
but the authorities believe that one OF
the number who died at 1870 o'clock
was afflicted with cholera. Albertina
Larson, IS years Of age, was in a semi
conscious condition when the train
pulled into the depot, and the phYsi-
clans at once ordered her sent to HOS
Thirty-ffth street, where she was to
have stopped. On the way to the house
she relapsed into Inconsistencies, and
DR.. Garrett, of the Health Department,
sent her to the county hospital. She
died on the way.
The woman, it is claimed showed
unmistakabie symptoms OF the dread
disease. She complained of pains in
the stomach, was continually gaping
and the skin under her eyes showed a
mashed blue discooration. She was
first taken i'll at Pittsburg where she
purchased medicine.
Officer Jones of the Harrison street
station administered stimulants during
the ride TO the hospital, but the woman
gradually sank. The physicians order
ed the armOry ambulance fumigated as
soon as IL returned to the station which
was thoroughly done. The party TO
which the dead woman belonged left
Guttenburg, Sweden, August 10, and
sailed from Liverpool August p in the
Lord Cough. Nothing is known OF the
quarantine regulations that were en-
forced at New York.
The body OF the dead woman was ad-
mitted to the county mOrgue and placed
in separate room. The clothing was
fumigated and deposited with it. DR..
Garrett said after he had left the hos
pital that he would not express def
mite opinion that the woman had died
OF cholera, although he stated that such
was the Indication, as there were strong
symptoms Of that disease. He wished
to be convinced before expressing an
official opinion. DR.. Jones was equally
conservative in his opinion, concedlng,
however, that cholera symptoms were
strongly noticeable.
Later Sanitary Officer Walter V. Hoyt
of the Health Office, said in positive
words: "Albertina Larson did not die
of cholea. She died of exhaustion. l
am satisfied in my own mind that the
case is not one of cholera, though the
symotoms may have somewhat resem-
bled those Of cholera.

The Health Board has done excellent
work I'D TO date. Seven hundred cases
Of nuisance in the city have been re-
ported and promptly attended TO and
the strict observance OF the law has
been enforced as far as the Board has
been able to do it. The authorities
have done their duty thus far and
doubtless, will continue in the same
line. The remainder, and perhaps the
largest part OF tho work must be done
By the people, themselves. Clean up,
everybody and bid defiance TO the
eholsra and every other plague.

THE passengers on the quarantined
steamers in New York harbor are doing
their best TO tighten the burden Of life
during their Incarceration on board
ship, and TO sIyer-line the dark cloud
that overhangs them by invoking the
aid OF the gods Of music and wit. Vocal
and instrumental concerts, with songs
and recitatlons and so forth aud so on,
are the order Of the day among the
cabin passengers. Miss LoTrIE COL
IINs, the famous Boom-ta-ra-ra girl
from London, is aboard the NormaDuia
and contributed her share the other
evening toward lighting up the gloom.

QUARANTINE, September 1O.-At one
o'clock this morning DR.. Jenkins had
been sleeping for over an hour and q
half when the telegraph operator called
him to deliver a message from the long
awaited Scaudia, which was expected in
uOmentarily. Reporters had been stand
ing round waiting for him, hoping
against hope 70 get news of the safe ar
rival of the Scandal, which had left the
characterization port of Hamburg on
August 21th, loaded with l,OS6 souls.
She had the enormous number OF 9Sl
steerlge passengers, - cabin and -
members of her crew. Before she had
been many days out the cholera had
broken out, and before she arrived
the pest was fairly on board
of her. Thirty-nine cases occurred in
half q week. OF these 30 SuCcumbed
before she arrived at the lower quar-
antine anchorage. One by one, by
COUPLES and by threes the bodies Of the
unfortunate victims were dropped over
board.
Dr. Byron reviewed all the vessels at
midnight He found all well on board
the NOrmaunia, the Rugia, MOrayia and
Wyoming, but when he reached the
Scandal he found this terrible tale of
disaster and trouble: Thirty-two deaths
had taken place, OF which % were in
the steerage, two in the crew and one
I'm the cabin. There were still seven
virulent cases on board and these DR..
Byron removed to Swinburno Island.
The Scandal is the first vessel to arrive
thoroughly infected with cholera. The
Moravia, Rugia and Normannia had
brought it ia in their Steerages and the
case of the latter had wroked among
the crew. The Scandal has it from
her bow 70 her stern, from her main
deck to her kelSOn. Cabin passengers,
crew aud emigrants all have it in their
midst, and she will probably be the
hardest cholera importer TO night, of the
lot. As though the Scandia was not
enough, for one night, another horror

there were several anxious enquirerS at

Hits tho Nail on the Head.

To g. disinterested observer it
seems that the independent ccnven=
ton which has just adjourned here
was very largely controlled by dis.
gruntled politicians and disappoint.
ed Office seekers. The formation OF
the independent party has created q
refuge into which these would-be
statesmen can fly. They have been
downed either in some precinct caucus
or at the polls, and they endeavor to
get even by leaving their party and
profess to advocate certain principles,
a. an excuse for their conduct. It
seems to be q popularity OF
American politics that these spas.
modlc movements, creative of mush.
room parties, should periodically
spring into existence. The adherants
are, as in this case, q woeiully abused

American citizens have been ground
down by the "iron heel Of monopoly"

Marriages in Abyssinia.

Abyssinia is a country where, IL
marriage is q failure, it can easily be
dissolved. There il absolutely no
legal or holy tie. When q man is
desirous OF marrying q girl he directly
applies to her parents. The maidens,
like those in many European coun.
tries. are seldom consulted on the
question; the lover arranging with
the father or male relatives regarding
her dover, which generally means q
few beeves, sheep, or pieces OF cloth.
and sometimes gold.
On the marriage day tho bridegroom
presents himself with his best man at
the house OF his future er.in-law.
Much fasting goes on till the bride is
carried of by her husband, generally
on his shoulder. while the mail rela-
tives closely follow, making q canopy
OF their togas to keep off the sun, or
perhaps the effects of the evil eye.
Behind comes a crowd OF young girls
and boys, methodically lifting their
arms above their heads, and clapping
their hands to the measured beating
OF tom.toms carried by men running
along the TANKS OF the procession,
who also blow long trumpets.
The happy couple that saw mar.
ried out-stripped their followers, with
the exception of their best man, and
at last reached the town green, where
the groomsmen formed q screen with
their cloaks around the happy pair,
when the deferred courtship began.
1t is custom for the supporters of
the groom. generally six in number, to
be present on this occasion, and for
many days atterward to 90 round
visiting the houses of the mutual
friends OF the married pair, extolling
the beauties of the bride and the &C
complishments OF the groom. general
ly finishing up with q grotesque dance,
which is much enjoyed by the enthusi-
astic neighbors, crowding round the
open doorway.
Though the marriage can be annul.
led according to mutual agreement of
bride and groom, il, after years OF
happiness together, they wish to
cement the tie more closely, the pair
simply attend the holy communion
together in church, and the marriage
is then looked upon as indissoluble.

tury.

The Stewart Bill,

The Globe does not understand bv
what logical table Congressman Hail
figures when he calculates that the
passage of the free coinage bill by the
democratic house will help the cleo.
ton OF Cleveland. He says that Har.
rison would veto it, and that this
would bring him into disrepute in the
wet and south, make the silver
states doubtful, and increase demo-
cracies chances OF carrying them.
There does not seem to be any thing
in such reasoning. In the first place
it would not bring President Harri-
son into disrepute with any body who
has any. sense, no matter what his
views on the silver question, should
he veto the Stewart act. 1t 10 an i'm
possible piece of legislation as it
stands, imperative for the very Dur
pose for which it was designed, and
the executive could forbid it's enact.
ment without committing himself at
all either tor or against free coinage.
But even if this were not true, It
would make no difference. Every body
knows that Mr.. Harrison believes in
honest money, and If anybody in.
tends to oppose his election on this
account, he needs no further in.
centives for doing so. But Mr.. Gsve.
land believes in honest money also,
and the detection of Republicans on
this issue promises his cause no re-
cruits. It is one OF the gratifying fea-
lures OF the present campaign that
the repudiationists can find no abid-
ing place except in the society OF Viii
liam PETER and Ignatius Donnelly.
The Globes opinion is that the
Stewart bill had better be killed. 1t
is only one more example of the ia
tality which attends pedestrianism
when the blind undertake to lead.
The silver cranks do not know what
they want, and have proved them
selves incapable OF framing an intel
ligent measure in either house. When
an opportunity OF triumph is in their
grasp they straightway proceed to
fall into the pit.-St. Paul Globe.

A MEXICAN OUTLAW CREMArrD
The Building IN which He Sought Res
uge Set on Fire.

Cry OF MExIco, Feb. e7.--At the VII
lage Of Atemajac de Las Tablas lived 4
man named Lucas Gonzalez, who had
committed various crimes, but had suc-
ceeded in inspiring the officers Of the
law with such fear as 10 defy arrest. A
few days ago the officers took into their
confidence the woman who had long
lived with Gonzalez, and induced her BY
liberal bribes To assist them in getting
control Of him.
She locked him in wooden cabin.
and reported TO the officers that the bird
was caught They at once set ont, 10
companied BY detachment OF gem
darmes, and surrounded the cabin. The
poor devil saw that his day had come,
but to delay his fate as long as possible
he began to fire upon the valiant crowd.
Though Gonzalez was 10 badly woun ded
that he could not move, still everybody
held him in such terror that no one ven
tured TO enter the hut.
At last the crowd procured some bot
ties OF turpentine and sprinkled 1t over
the building. Gonzalez, helpless from
his wounds, could not stir. The flames
soon wrapped him IN their fatal embrace
and burned him to crisp. When the
odor OF burning flesh showed TO the saw
ago mob that the victim could no longer
draw the trigger the fire was extin-
guished and pals OF water poured over
the corpse. Then the ghastly remains
were removed to the village plaza and
exposed to the public gaze.
