Newman and Frank Hatch were held in

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
The Cholera Epidemic in Russia.

The Number of Cases is Increasing and
the Death Rate is Extraordinarily
High.
The gravest apprehensions regarding the
cholera epidemic in European Russia are
being realized. The scourge is literally
depOpulating various districts, and every
day its further progress to other towns and
provinces is reported. Correspondents
continue to speak of "the infected dis
tlicts' But with the plague raging at
places so widely separated as Astrakhan,
POltava, Mini Novgorod, Moscow and,
according to some accounts, ST. Petersburg
itself, the entire country must be regarded
as involved; just as though i'm this country
an epidemic were rife in New York, New
Orleans, Chicago and Denver. OF course,
the disease is not confined to these great
centres, but exists in all the regions round
about them and along the routes of travel
and transportation between them.
Nor is the wide extent of the ,pile mic
the only serious feature of the situation.
Its unusually deadly character must also be
considered Asiatic cholera is always
highly dangerous disease, and the percen-
tage Immortality among those stricken with
it is always high. But in Russia the death
rate is now extraordinarily high. The re-
turns of the health officers indicate that
more than one-half of those striker die
Thus on August 3 and there were 674l
cases and 1896 deaths; on August there
were 4123 cases and 2403 deaths and on
August 1G there were 1909 cases and 3742
deaths. The number of cases and of deaths
is thus increasing rapidly, the daily roll
having more than doubled in two weeks.
1t does not appear that the high death-rate
proceeds from any unusual virulence in the
disease itself, but from the general bad con-
dition of the country, enfeeblcd as the PEG
pie are by famine, and primitive and insult
ticient as are the sanitary regulations.
The quarantine Gordon, however, still
holds good. Although the epidemic RACES
most in the neighbOrhood of the great cen
tres of trade and travel, the Caspian, Black
Sea and Baltic ports, the other nations of
Europe have so far Leffectually protected
themselves against invasion. Down to the
present writing, it is not certain that a
single case of cholera has this year oc-
CURED in any other European country, and
the season is now 50 far advanced that
they may reasonably expect to reach cold
weather unscathed. Nevertheless, there
must be no relaxing of the Gordon and no
lessening of the watchfulness on either
side of the Atlantic The winter will
bring only temporary cessation of the
plague.

MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.
South Royalston's Big Fire

Whitney's WOODEN Mills Destroyed---
The Loss sIS5,OOO and 300 Hands are
Out of Employment.
The village of South Royalston suffers
great loss in the destruction by fire of the
George Whitney WOODEN mills on Saturday.
Fire was discovered early in the evening
bursting forth from the tower of the centre
mill, and before morning the long string of
buildings composing the plant was a mass
ofruins. Help was summoned from Athol
and Baldwinville, and it was mainly
through the work of the companies from
those places that the chair shop and other
buildings were saved. The loss is S175, 000
with 100000 insurance. This was the
principal industry of the village; the fac
tory employed about POO hands, and was
doing flourishing business, as the goods
had high reputation in the market. A
large addition was made to the buildings
last winter and larger number of hands
were being employed than ever before.
Col. George Whitney has been engaged in
the wooden business there for more than
40 years. The mills will probably be re-
built.

A Heath Man Killed by Lightning.

During the severe thunder shower Friday
afternoon, a cloud-burst visited Heath.
Charles b. Benson, while standing in a
barn doorway, was struck by lightning and
instantly killed. A neighbor, Louis Lovely,
standing near, was thrown out into the
yard and rendered unconcious. The barn
of Mr.. StetsOn was also struck but not
badly damaged. The storm was very Sc
we're and in an hour the streams became
torrents, washing away fences and outlying
roads. Trees were blown down, many
window lights broken, and crops badly
damaged. Andrew Campbelrs house at
Leyden was struck twice by lightning.
The family were in the house, but none of
them sustained serious injuries.
