are for the most part Russian Jews. All
classes were allowed to intermingle dur

The Normannia's passengers were
taken off Saturday by the Stonington:.
and removed at once to Fire Island and
lodged at the Surf hotel.
DR.. Jenkins said Saturday morning
that the statement that he had refused
assistance from the marine hospital or
anv other source in relieving the paSSen-
gers on the infected ships In the lower
bay was untrue. He was willing to re-
ceive assistance from any one, and he
thought it likely in case the marine hos
pital service didn't voluntarily tender as
sistance that he would be compelled TO
officially cali upon them for aid.
The official bulletin of the health
board posted at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning read as follows: mo cases of
cholera have been discovered in this
city"
The crew of the William Fletcher re-
fused to transfer the passengers of the
Normannia and Rugia and deserted.
The steamboat Stonington passed quar-
antine at 11:l0 o'clock Saturday bound
to the lower bay to take the passengers
from the Normannia.
The mail received at quarantine dur
ing the past few days, intended for pas
sengers on the detained ships, has
grown to such large proportions that
the deputy assistants find themselves I'M

DR.. Jenkins requested Postmaster Van
colt to furnish postal officer at quaran-
tine. The request was promptly granted
and a postoffice will be Immediately eS-
tablished in the doctors residence.

The Culture of Alfalfa.

Lucerne was brought from Media,
Asia, to Greece i'll Europe in the same
time of Darius, about five hundred
wears before Christ, says an eXchage.
It's culture extended to Rome, thence
to the south of France, where it has
long been fuvorite forage plant. 1t
grows wild with great IuXuriance IN
the pampas of BuenOs Ayres, south
America, where 1t Is called alfalfa
It's seeds are somewhat larger than
those OF red clover, consequently it Is
necessary to SOW more per acre.
Wien once we'll rooted il viii remain
for many years. The seed should be
of elbow color, glossy and heavy.
Alfalfa appears TO delight in deep,
mellow, dry soil, with plenty Of sun
shine aud heat. Under favorable
conditions its roots have been known

shb-aoil. 1t seems to be especially
adapted TO the deep, sandy plains OF
the southwest. 10 produce several
successive crops in a season II needs
q hot climate aud irrigation. II has
been grown with success in New
York State, but it is a little difficult
i'll getting it seeded, and great pains
should lie taken i'll making it fine
and mellow. 1t may be sOwn alone
or with spring grain. Like red clover
it gathers nitrogen from the atmos-
phere, and moisture and inorganic
food from the sub-soil. 1t leaves the
sOil in better condition for wheat
than it found it.
We have seen this plant grow
luxuriantly further south and have
known as many as three crops to be
cut from it in one season. 1t groVz
taller than red clover, has a large
stem, and shorter and more pointed
leaf, and is highly relshed by all
kind of live stock. Many claim that
it is richer than clover and more
nutritious. Il makes very fine hay
and while we canuot vouch for Its
roots going down a. deep as stated
above, we know that they enrich the
land very much by their roots .pene'

Where we. saw it grown it was
planted in rows about two-and-a- hall
1eet apart, where it grew as high at
a boys waist, and completely filled
the rows by tapping. 1t should dc

New YORK. Sept. 12.-Fire Island
was Saturday morning contracted to be
sold by D. S. S, Sammis, the present
owner, to a party who is thought to
represent the state government. The

The purchase includes the hotel. thir-
teen cottages, 1875 acres Of beachland
and a steamboat to carry passengers to
and from the main land.
Mr. Sammis met the purchaser at the
Hoffman House. and the conference
was brief and to the point. The sale
was quickly made and Mr.. Sammis hur-
RED away, refusing to speak to report
ers.
As Governor Flower Friday tele-
graphed DR.. Jenkins to purchase the
Fire Island land and buildings for quar-
antine purposes, or as refuge for the
first-class passengers on board the steam
ship Normannia, the conclusion was
reached that the property WIS bought as

Too Much Name,

There is a flying steed up in the

Lincoln. We suppose his second dam
was by George Washington and his
third dam by Thomas Jefferson. We
suppose so from the way he went /;
as we have often noticed that the
more great names a horse has in his
pedigree, the slower he goes.
Now this horse started against

ten thousand people to beat his

BOsToS, Sept. IO.-A terrible acci-
dent occurred about 10 o'clock tonight
al the WatertoHn junction, near West
Cambridge station, on the Fitchburg
railroad, caused by westward bound
express freight telescoplng the rear car
OF the 1915 Waltham passenger
train from Boston. Fifteen killed
and wounded have already
been taken from the wreck, and It
Is thought that many are be-
nestn the wreck. The train Was heay-
lly loaded, AS IS always the case on
Saturday nights, and had arrived AT
an east-boInd train 10 pass before
crossing the main track at the Water
town branch road. While the train
MAS standing on the main line the eX-
press freight, which had followed
from the Boston yard crashed into
the rear car, crxsnlng II into
pieces aud jammlng It's numan freight
beneath the runs. The force OF the
collision smashed the front end OF the
boiler and cylinders, and the escaping
steam added horror TO the situation OF
those already imprisoned. As quickly
AS possible urd OF the accident was
sent 10 Boston, Cambridge and Wal
tham and physicians were soon on tine
spot by different modes of convey
ance. The work Uf removing the
dead and wounded was commenced
and the station at West Cambridge was
converted into u hospital TO which the
wounded were carried.

the freight is missing and is feared
that he too mas been killed. 1t IS

time and the momentum of the

not be stopped IN time to avoid col
llslon. Tne officials in Boston are very
close mOuthed and IT IS extremely hard
10 obtain any facts from them concern
ing the accident; and as telegraphic
