SUFFERING IN HAMBURG.
HAMBURG, Sept. 21.-The present
cholera epidemic is carrying in it's train
such want and suffering as have never
before marked the history of HAMBURG.
Nearly all trades are at a standstil and
thousands of workingmen are idle and
almost starving. People who have here
tofore done business with Hamburg are
afraid now to handle anything made in
the plague-stricken city and in conse-
quence every branch of industry shows
the entire absence of orders. OF course
with no demands for their products tho
manufacturers find it impossible to keep
employees at work and daily the idle
population of the city is gaining fresh
accessiOns from the ranks of clerks. arti-
sans and unskilled laborers, who are dis
charged because of the utter stapnation
in business. The distress is most marked
among the dock laborers and fishermen
The shipping trade of the city has re-
ceived a most severe blow from the epi-
denic, and many vessels belonging to
Hamburg have been forced to lie up until
the epidemic abates. The dock laborers
and other men employed about the
wharves can find nothing to do, and in
many cases actual starvation is staring
them in the face.
The fishermen, too, find their occupa-
ton gone, as nearly everyone is afraid to
touch fish, let alone eat it. Those who
still follow the business find no money in
ii. Whole loads of fish are every day
carted away from st. Paul's market and
sold for a few marks to farmers to be
used as fertilizer on their lands.
Many porters about the city are without
work and have been idle for consider
able time.
Southeast Of Hamburg, and belonging
to the city, is territory called Vierlande
Here are located many persons who culti-
vate small tracts OF land and who have
heretofore found a ready and profitable
market for their product in the city.
Now all is changed, and these market
gardeners are on the verge of ruin. They
are unable to dispose of their product and
their fruit is rotting on the trees
The situation is extremely bad, in
whatever light it is viewed, and succor
for the impoverished and furnishing peo-
pie will have TO come from the charitable
There were lac new cases of cholera
and "a deaths from the disease in Ham
burg yesterday, an increase of eight new
cases and decrease of three deaths.
The first installment of the 81, 600 marks
subscribed in New York for the relief of
the sufferers was received to-day.
