An adjourned meeting Of the school
board was held this morning, and the mat
ter Of the special tax given another con-
sideIatiOn. The attention Of the board was
called to a difference in the total valuation
of the county over that at first reported.
Instead Of 81, $4,000 as at first given the
hoard, the equalized valuations aggregate
SS, $50, 1856, and that of this district being a
trihe over 100000, instead Of 100000
On this basis, the amount apportiOned TO
this district Of the county will be S., $50 and
a special tax of three and half mills will,
in the judgment Of the board, produce a
sufficient income TO maintain the schools
the coming year. This makes little or no
allowance for delinquent taxes, but il is
probable the delinquent list Of 1891, forced
to a collection next spring, will offset the
delinquent list Of this year.

NEW YORK, September 1.-The health Of
icers who made an inspection Of the Mo-
ravia's passengers pronounce the cause Of
death in the stricken cases as true Asiatic
cholera. All emigrants in the steamship
we're transferred to Hoffman island and the
vessel and cargo will be thoroughly disin-
fected while lying in the lower bay. DR..
Jenkins was summoned from the shore
when his deputy learned the condition of
affairs, and he personally interviewed the
ships physician and officers regarding the
disease aboard the ship. The surgeon Of
the MoraYia declared twenty-five passen-
gers Of the ship undoubtedly dice of chol-
eraine, and DR.. Jenkins Immediately or
dered the steamer Off-shOre, giving Captain
Theile, her commander, instructions to an
chor off HOffman's island and remain until
he received further orders. After the doc
tor left the steamer she weighed anchor and
Immediately returned to the lower bay. A
yellow flag indicating that she had con-
tagion aboard, was flying from the fore
mast head. On landing at quarantine
wharf Drs. Jenkins and Talmadge went at
once to the formers house on the bluff
overlooking the bay, and we're in cOnsulta-
ton some time. 1t was at first given out
that the MOravia had a clean bill of health
and that the doctor had been surprised at
the clean, healthy condition of the vessel.
The return of the steamer to the lower bay
created no surprise or suspicion, as it was
believed that the immigrant passengers
on board were to be treated to a bath at
Hoffman Island, then landed for fumiga-
ton of the ships and their clothes. 1t was
not till afternoon when the facts began to
gain circulation. There was panic among

coupled with provision that it will be en-

FEARFUL sCENEs.

HAMBURG, September H. There is no
question of the fact that the present
cholera epidemic is the worst that has
ever visited this city, and every hour the
situation becomes worse People are dying
Off like sheep and the plague is spreading.
1t was thought early yesterday that the
epidemic was abating in violence. The
number Of new cases and deaths reported
for Monday were far below those for the
day preceding. Unfortunately those hopes
are not well founded 1t was only tenn
porary halt in the onward march of the
plague 1t is now marching forward, now
ing down its victims by the score. A fear
full feeling of apprehension hangs over the
whole city. 1t is believed that the doctors
are helpless to fight the scourge. People
feel that they are helpless in the face of the
fearful visitation that has come on them,
and many of them have given up hope Of
escaping the disease This in itself is a
calamity, for courage is one of the essen
tial factors in fighting the epidemic. A
representative of the Associated press has
seen in a military drill shed, the bodies Of
400 victims awaiting burial. Owing to red
tape IL Is lul possible 70 DuIy all bue QbdQ uu-
der usual regulations, for the law requires
the production of papers and identification
before the body is consigned to the grave.
Under ordinary circumstances these pa
pers are easily prOcurable, but now when
whole families have been carried off
by the scourge, the greatest difficulty is
experienced in getting papers. Unless the
frightful mortality abates, it will be neees-
sary to shortly set aside the law and bury
victims as hastily as possible. Already it
is believed that the infection has been
spread by the dead. Bitter imprecatiOns
are heaped upon the authorities for their
pig-headedness in letting victims lie un-
buried to scatter cOntagiOn among the
living, while they hunted for papers to
show the age, occupation, etc., of the
dead person. A reign of terror prevails
and every person who can possibly do so
is fleeing the city. Exception, must,
however, must be made to this assertion.
Those whose duties calls them to attend
the sufferers, physicians and those who
have nobly volunteered their services, are
doing work that requires the extreme of
heTOism.
During the twenty-four hours ending at
midnight last night ambulances conveyed
to the hospital sos patients. OF this num-
Der r268 have since died.

Il don't know whether that will do or
not, as she felt for her money. IF you
