A N0RMANNIA PLANT,

The Clerical Writer Thinks His Treatment
Is Barbsrous-He Wouldn't Object to
Rational Quarantine, but Doesn't Want
to Be Cooped Up With Cholera.
NEW YORK, Sept a-The following let

was received in this city at the office of the
EUGngelist from Rev. Daniel W. Fisher, D.
D., L. D., President of Hanover College,
Indiana:
ill-fated ship, appeal to you for help. We
are perfectly willing to be Quara tined, but
in the name OF humanity and civilization,
not TO speak of Christianity, let the quaran-
tine be at least rational, and not barbarous,
We have not been sick in the cabin, except
in ono case, which seems to have had al
most no cnoleruic symptoms, and that oc-
CURED ten days ago. We have succeeded in
getting the steerage away. But the crew
cannot be removed. Tho ship must have
them aboard. One after another they
sicken.
Under these circumstances we scarcely
dare to hope that ultimately we shall eacape
At any rate, when can such d quarantine
end? Think OF children, feeble persons,
any set of men, even criminals, le ft to wear
out the danger OF cholera in this fashion!
The whole system is, "Anchor the ship out
as far at sen as possible ana let the disease
do what it can" Ifany set of people were
In any other situation, enduring such peril
as ours, millions of voices would be raised
to rescue MS without days delay. Why
are we unworthy of help, situated as we aref
Surely not because helps Impossible. Put
us on another vessel. Land us at some safe
point on shore and seclude us to any ex-
tent; but. for Gods sake, do not perpetuate
this barbarous system on us here for g day
longer. Try to help at once.
Yours very truly

P. S.-Why are we on this ship? Because
the agent of the company in London assured
almost every passenger who embarked at
Southampton that there WAS no steerage
this trip. Some of us have his written

A FAMOUS THEATER.
The Old Academy of Music in Cleveland
Reduced to Ashes.

The Old Academy of Music in Cleveland
Reducsd to Ashes.
CLEVELAND, Sept. 8-The old Academy
of Music, one of the most famous theaters
in America in former years, was totally de-
stroyed by fire this afternoon. II was built
in 1851, and the illustrious veteran, John
Ellsler, took charge of it Soon his stock
company, from which some of the greatest
actors and actresses of the past two decades
graduated, was formed. In that company
were Lawrence Barrett, Joe Jefferson,
James Lewis, j. B. Curran and j. T. Ogden,
and it was as a minor member that Clara
Morris made her debut on the stage.
The building is total loss. the damage
being $40, 900; partly insured to the Mont
pelier estate, which owned it. Two saloons
under it, one the Oyster Ocean, owned by
Hannah & Frawley and known to sporting
men all over the country, were also de-
stroyed, the loss upon them being 81, 900;
fully insured.

HUGH ROSS In YOUNGSTOWN.
He Says He Is Coming Back to Face His
Proseoutors' Charges.

Prosecutors' Charges.
YOUNGSTOWN, O., Sept 8-[SpeciaL J.
Hugh Ross, of the Advisory Board at Home
stead. was here this afternoon In consulta-
tion with an attorney of the Amalgamated
Association, w. s. Anderson, and said:
81 am under bail now on a charge of
murder-s crime I never committed-and
learn that since I left home another war
rant on the same charge has been issued for
me, and that the prosecution assert shat
bail will not be accepted and that I will
have to lie in jail until my trial. Well, I
am going back to face the music, as / never
committed crime in my life. They charge
me with killing Silas Waine, when we were
talking together in q party, and it was
shell that came from distance that killed
him."
"What will be the effect of the Home
stead strike politically in Pennsylvania"
"Well, prominent politician of Pitts
burg recently said to me, Hugh, this case
must not be tried until after.the election. as
it would ruin the party in this country and
State if one should be convicted ! told
him that those who commenced the prose-
cutions against us should have looked at
that matter before believe fighting
our enemies at the ballot box, not with bull
lets"

spector Marsh was bounced, but Wilkinson
could not break into the police department.
After that City Prosecutor Douglas, who
was making war on Garfield, came under
the official displessure and was forced to re-
sign. Next "Hemp" began to make 1t hot
for McClaughrey.
The gamblers and their agents laid traps.
They tried to get McOlaughrey's son into
place and position where they. could hold
the fact over his head rs club, and through
his threatened disgrace. Influenced his
independent action of the chief in making
the raids, and last of all came the killing Of
Colonel Brown and two policemen.
Choice Made by the Little Mayor
The Mayor was compelled to cast his lot
either with the people or with the gamblers,
He chose the former
shown the Mayors letter, "for we know
that different state of affairs exist I
think the statement was given out for a
purpose, and there is no doubt pressure was
brought to bear on Mr.. Washburne. As
for closing Garfield Park, am not prepared
to say what he will do. We have decided
upon no plan, and 1t will depend largely
upon the court cases. We are fighting
squarely, and not murdefously, and are
keeping entirely within the law. IT all can
not do that, we will close
George Hankins, the millionaire, head
and front of the Garfield Park syndicate,
did not know what to make of the letter.
He is confident that the Council next Mon
day night will pass the power of ordinance
over the Mayors veto, and despite the fact
that ten days must elapse before 1t becomes
an active law, the club, on the strength of
the passage, might secure an injunction re-
straiping the police from interfering. By
that time, he says, he expects to get a new
chief of police in the place of Major Nc
Claughrey.
No Racing at Least Until Monday.
''You can say positively that there will
be no racing at our track until Monday"
1t is extremely doubtful, though, that
the Council will undertake such hazard
Gus task. If the gamblers fail in their
scheme to Doodle the councils, then indeed
the days of the track will be numbered.
Garfield is already considered as dead
cock in the pit But for the newspapers,
Washburne would not have written that
letter, and the gamblers would have stood
some show of winning.
Billy Wightman, Treasurer of the Gar
field Club, declares that Washburne's letter
is piece of political buncombe. 1.-THE
Mayor" he said, twas foiled by the Re-
publicans yesterday because of his differ
to do something to square himself, and to
my thinking the chief has pinch on the
Mayor some way and he compelled him to
write the letter to make things look all
right to the public But will the people
swallow the buhcombe? The Legislature
will have to change the law before we will
give in"

of State to-day ordered the suspension from
duty of james C. Kellogg, United States

cotton goods are now used than ever before.

its uniform price for several years preceding
the WARE
5. If the production OF cotton is curtailed,
what is to be done to employ the labor that

out cotton the farmer has no use for hands
and neither the means to pay them with?
So much for the cotton problem.
