reported outbreak OF cholera in Camp
Low and the sudden deaths there during
the night were a source of NO little Rnxi-
ETY. and wcrriMent to Health Officer Jen-
kins this morning. This is Increased by
the accusation of ex-Surgeon General
Hamilton that he had broken faith in
sending infected passengers to Sandy
Hook.
To reporter DIR. Jenkins said:-
ut Is true that | promised General
Hamilton that would not send sick or
infected persons to Camp Low. and do
not consider that l have been guilty of
any breach Of Eaith in the matter. Ger
tainiy would not have deliberately sent
cholera-infected people to Camp Low,
knowing them to be such.
NO CASE IN TEN DAYS.
SIT was ten days yesterday since case
of cholera had developed among the Nor

that time they were entirely free from in

patch reached the island she boat had
started from the dock with the man and
woman on board.

of them had cholera, aor do / believe so
now. SO far as the Rugia's passengers at
Camp Low are concerned, this despatch,
sent to me by DIR. O'H&re from Hoffman

HE HEARD A SPLASH.

And When He Turned Pals Was Gone
Was 1t Suicide?
Herman Pals, grocery clerk, twenty
five years old, of No. 68 Park avenue, Ho-
boken, was drowned yesterday afternoon,
near the Public Baths, at the foot of
Fourth street.
Frederick Trado, of No. 10 Garden
street, saw Pals sitting ON
the railing of the bridge leading to the
bath house. He turned away for a few
minutes, when his attention was sud
denly attracted by splash in the water
On looking around he saw Pals rise to the
surface and siAk again.
Trado and q truckman who was near
the bath house, made an effort to save
him, but he WAS out of sight before they
got near Officer Werner was called, and
after graphing for half an hour, found
the body and took it ashore.
Pals had recently been released from
St. Mary's Hospital after suffering from
typhus fever For the last few days he
had beea in low spirits. and there is Il
suspicion that he took his own life. He
left his boarding house at five o'clock,
saying that the house was too hot. The
few papers found in his pockets explained
nothing.
The body was taken to Parslow's
mOrgue.

PLAYING WITH MATCHES.
Two Small Children Cause q Serious
Blaze in a Flat

Two Small Children Cause Serious
Blaze in a Flat.
What might have been quite big fire
was averted this morning by Policeman
Steele and ''Tony" Conk, who, discover
ing blaze through a window on the
second floor of the big brick house on the
northeast corner of Henderson and Greg
ory streets. rushed into the building and
pulled the blazing curtains from the win
dow and trarnpled out the fire.
Mrs. Emma DeZuttere, with her family,
was moving iuto the fiat on the Sec
ond floor. She bad already carpeted
the floor and hung the windows with
valuable lace curtains. Leaving two
small children in the room while she
was engaged in other parts of the fiat,
she was suddenly aroused by their hilar-
ity and childish elee, suddenly followed
by a shriek from one OF them.
The children had secured some loose
matches and sci fire to the curtains, and
thought it beautiful sight until the fire
scorohed the cheek of one of the little
ones. The appearance of Steele and Conk
VS. just timely enough TO save spread
of the fire, as other windows, hung with
10th damask and lace curtains, were in
close proximity.
Several rugs were also burned.

eight O'Clock, some Industrious
but mi guided men. fer dollar night,
began violent discharge of noisy bombs.
Then very brass band played on the
sidewalk In spot that sheltered the mis-
creants from stray rockets and Roman
candles and the missiles of the small boy.
These two-the greatest attractions on
the bill-were kept up until the bombs
were exhausted, and the band nearly so.
Then following the band into the hall. a
handful of curious people seated them
selves comfortably. some occupying two
or three chairs at time.
President John p. Landriue, when he
called the meeting to order, saw with re-
gret the many vacant chairs and the few
that were occupied. He was indiscreet
enough to allude to it. The same obser-
vation was made by Professor Thomas
BATTERY. of Washington. d. c.; John S.
Gibson. of Dover; John Ulrich, the State
Toffey, of the State COMMITTEES; Robert
Gray and Richard Brown.
PRESIDENT Landrine apologiZed for the
small attendance, and explained it by
saying those who should have
been present had gone TO the
great gathering of G. A. R. men
at Washington. He introduced Profes-
sor Raftery, who made a spread eagle
speech In which he complimented Demo-
Gratis for Joining Republicans in redeem-
ing the city. He hoped the same action
would be taken throughout the State,
and he promised that If John Keau, Jr.,
faint applause]. and Republican Leg
1slature should be elected, redistricting
of the State would take place which
would forever keep from power the Dem
cratic party.
He next tackled the National question
There was nothing new, original or bright
In what he said, and sigh of relief was
felt when John S. Gibson succeeded
him.
This speaker reviewed the questions at
issue from a Republican standpoint but
adduced nothing worthy of repetition.
During the meeting the R. B. Seymour
Light Guards-poor Seymour-marched
to the hall headed by drum corps and
filed few of the many vacant chairs to
the great relief of those on the platform.
Remarks were made by two or three
lesser lights and the meeting was finished.

RAILROAD AVENUE SEWER.

The work of reconstructing the broken
Railroad avenue and Thirteenth street
sewers will soon be commenced At the
meeting of the Street and Water Board
yesterday bids were received for the Rail
road avenue sewer job. and the Commits
sioners say the contract will be awarded
tomorrow morning. Denuis Byrnes' bid
was the lowest. The fact that all the
contractors bid on a thirty inch brick
sewer when the advertisement called for
thirty-six inch brick sewer will
not deter the Commissioners from
awarding the contract. Chief Engi-
neer Ruggles said the mistake
was in the advertisement; that no idea of
constructing a 36 inch sewer had been en-
tertaiued. The Board of Finance will
probably concur in the award of the coil-
tracts on Thursday, and work Will be
pushed without further delay.

A Short Talk On An Important
Subject.

Work at Murray Hill, as everywhere,
has been obliged TO pick its way slow
ly through the backward Spring.
Notwithstanding some back sets on
account of the tardy season, some re-
liable and promising progress has been
made. Fine blocks of tempting grass
have been scattered over the future
home lots. preparatory TO building /;
material has been collected, more or
less grading has been done and parti
cularly the opening of Franklin street
has brought the lovely sites of Murray
Hill into close communication with
the city. Mr.. Melvin is pushing bust
ness and inquiries for lots are of daily
occurrence. Very many of these choice
sites will be taken this season. Pros
pectors will do we'll to complete their
selections before this Summer, as a
great rush is anticipated. The South
gate mansion will soon be erected and
others will quickly follow. Now is the
time TO take hold of these invest
ments as large profits will develCre in
course Of the year and those who buy
now will get the benefit of future inn
provements. We cannot speak too
highly of Murray Hill property. Its
advantages must be recognized and
recognized at once by all who will
walk over the ground and carefully
note them. Don't let the opportunity
slip away from your hands. Secure
some of these valuable lots before the
best are sold.

Governor Brown and the Agricul
turaI College.

GOVERNOR BRowN is in favor OF
disposing OF the present Agricultur-
al College property In Prince
Georges county, on the Washing
ton branch Of the Il. 4 q. X. X as
entirely unfit for agricultural ex-
periments and recommends that
some action be taken for the procure
ment of the government hospi tai
property and grounds opposite An
napolis as the proper place for this
institution. After referring to the
many advantages that would result
from such transfer, the Governor
Gays
"lf this could be accomplished the adj
vantages would be many. not only from
an agricultural standpoint, owing TO
the character of the soil of the hospital
farm. which could be easily improved,
and which is already IN good condition,
but the institution could be cooperative
with St Johns College, which Is prac-
iically State institution TO limited
extent. In many of the branches the
same professors could manage the re
spectiye departments In the two institu-
lions, and by combination OF this kind
the salaries from the respective institu-
tions, when united, would command the
best talant. Again, the students might
use to advantage some OF the branches
that are taught at the United States Ma
val Academy, so far as their observation
should 90. which would be an object
lesson at least. and In many instances
prove OF future benefit to the students
Annapolis, the capital of the State,
would gradually become an educational
centre"
This is like all of the suggestions
made by Governor Brown, broad,
practical and sensible, and we
hope the suggestions may be car
ried out. The Governor is right in
his views.
