CHOLERA continues to spread in the
infected districts of Russia. The disease
is carrying off it's victims at the rate of
hundreds per day in each of several
places, and the people have become de-
moralized, some of them rising in riot
against the authorities because they
know not which way to turn for relief.
1t is a terrible condition of things, es-
cially in country that has not yet re-
covered from the misery of widely
spread famine. And probably several
weeks more will elapse before the dis
ease has spent it's force. 1t will not now
die out until cold weather, when frost
will kill off the germs.

sheriffs and refused to discuss the rea-
sons for the change in the situation.
The friction in the borough between
the military and the people was getting
uncomfortable when the opportune ar

Shot by q Crank.

PrrTsBURG, July 25.-A desperate
and almost successful attempt was
made Saturday afternoon to assassinate
Henry Clay Frick, chairman of the
Carnegie Steel company, limited. His
assailant was Alexander Berkman, a
Russian Jew, who came here from New
York with the evident intention of re-
moving the man who has been the prin-
cipal on the employers side in the
great struggle now going on between
capital and labor in this city.
1t was 2 o'clock in the afternoon when
dark complexionedy young man with a
Jewish cast of countenance, of medium
height and fairly well dressed, entered
the elevator in the Chronicle Telegraph
building, which is occupied by the Car
negie Steel company, and asked to be
let off at Mr.. Frick's Office. As he en-
tered the office Mr.. Frick looked up as
did also Mr.. Leishman, to see who il
was. Mr.. Frick was examining bum
die of papers. The man sprang within
about five feet of Mr.. Frick and quicl :
ly drawing his revolver pulled the
trigger. The first cartridge did not ex-
plode, but the second shot entered the
back of Mr.. Frick's neck and glancing
downward passed to the outside below
the arm-pit. Frick made an exclama-
tion and jumped to the circular window
on Fifth avenue and tried in vain to
open it. The assailant passed immedi-
ately in front of the desk and approach
ing close to Mr.. Frick fired again.
At this instant Mr.. Leishman threw
himself on the would-be assassin and
wrestled for the possession of the re-
volver. Leishman grasped the weapon
and turned the pistol upwards as the
pistol exploded, the ball entering the
plastering near the glass partition
With agility the desperate man drew a
dagger and attempted to stab Leishmar
who was holding the assailant BY tn.
shoulder and body. Mr.. Frick saw the
CLEAN of the steel, and although stag
gered by the shock of the wounds ant
bleeding profusely, jumped between
the men and seized the mans arm.
In the struggle that followed Mr..
Frick was stabbed twice. Officers at
tracted by the noise arrived and thu
assailant was captured. At the police
station he gave his name as Andrew
Bergman, Russian Jew from New
York. The physicians in attendanc.
say none of the wounds are necessarily
fatal and that with proper care and
nursing Mr.. Frick will recover. He,
slept well through the night and rested
easily during the day. He will direct
business from his home
