POSTPONED THE TRIP.
Southsiders Decline to Tempt the Cholera

southsiders Decline to Tempt the Cholera
in Asia Minor.
6. G. Rahauser and Matt Helscher, two
prominent Southsiders, returned home from
New York last night. Extensive arrange
ments had been made by these two gentle
men and large party, including Bishop
vine, for a journey through the Holy Land.
When the party arrived in New York the
reports that the cholera scourge had as
sumed alarming proportions caused them
to go into consultation which resulted in a
postponement of their trip. The gentlemen
interested are much disappointed, but con-
slider it was the only course to pursue.

Woods Run Mill Started.

Oliver Bros. Woods Run mill was started
yesterday morning after being idle for sew
eral months. The lockout at the Baker
Chain Works considerably helped to pro-
long the strike at these mills. The chain
department has always been noE-union and,
according to Manager Davis, will be run in
no other way. The firm will not recognize
the Amalgamated Association. The 10-inch
mill and guide are in operation, and the
pudding and finishing departments will
start to-day

CANADA HESITATES.

The Cabinet Holds a Session to Discuss
Canal Tolls, Without Result.
OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 5-The question of
the course to be pursued with reference to
the imposition of retaliatory tolls against
Canadian ports at the $500" canal was con-
sidered at Saturdays Cabinet meeting, but
no decision, it was understood, was reached,
except 20 set aside some day this week for
another meeting.
The Government has not yet expressed an
opinion on the advisability of reimbursing
shippers for the amount of tolls taken from
them at St. Mary's canal.

LOOKING FOR CHOLERA NEXT YEAR.
How the People of Eastern Cities Feel
About the Scourge.

how the People OF Eastern Cities Feel
About the Scourge.
DR.. W. j. Robinson, pastor of the First
q. p. Church of Allegheny, returned home
last night from an extended trip. in which
he visited New York, Baltimore and Bos-
ton. He said the cholera scare in the East is
not so much that disease will become prev
alent this year, but the opinion is almost
general that its appearance now is only pre-
paratory to the early appearance
of the scourge in virulent
form next year. "It seems to be
the impression in Eastern Cities" he said,
''that the Worlds Fair will be postponed.
This would seem reasonable, for from what
/ knew of the disease from experience, the
great numbers of people coming over to
visit Chicsgo-coming with the very atmos-
phere of cholera about them, could not fail
to propagate the scourge. 1t will be
great mistake if any chances are taken in
this matter, as the least Imprudence might
result in the complete failure of the Fair. -

ROMANCE OF TIE HAREM.--Four beautiful
odalisques, or female slaves, were recently
presented V the khedive of Egypt to the
Sultan of Turkey and placed in the imperial
harcm. The odalisques appear TO have had
captivating influence over the Sultan, who
maid them so much attention as to excite the
jealousy Of the Others The beautiful slaves
were found murdered in their beds few days
ago, having fallen the victims TO poison. The
Sultan is said to have been deeply moved,
lie ordered rigid investigation and severe
punishment to the guilty. Three eunuchs
who had access to the apartments of the VIC
tins have been arrested on suspicion OF being
the persons who actually administered the
poison, and at the latest accounts they were
being subjected to torture in order 10 compel
them to make full confession. Suspicion OF
having instgatcd the crime rests chiefly on
one of the concubines, who until the oda-
lisoucs arrived almost monopolized the Sui
tan's affections. In the present temper OF his
Majesty it is doubtful whether even she
would escape the bowstring or the Bosphorus
should sufficient proof OF her guilt be adj

COUNTING CRows.-A short distance
from Luray in a dense pine thicket
there is what is called by sportsmen a
"crow roost," where immense numbers
of these birds spend the night. 1t is
said that the trees are black with them.
A few days ago about nightfall a gen
tleman from Winchester with his gun
killed twenty-nine crows in eighteen
shots at the crows habitat, but his per-
Torrance is said to have been eclipsed
by another well-known sportsman, who
killed over thirty in eight shots. Still
another statement is that q resident,
whose home is on the suburbs of town,
counted about 1000 crows fly past his
house one afternoon recently in differ
ent tlocks. This last statement may
appear incredible, but the gentleman
who made it is truthful man worthy
of belief.

The Prompt Mode % Procedure q the
RIowory KiaHdOu-
In many respects the Chinese are a
most rational and practical race, though
their ways are NOT those of western
peoples. London Truth relates an in
cident that Is characteristic Of Chinese
methods in government. During the
recent "anti-foreign-devil" riot at some
place between Tong-Tu and Kaiping,
the mob destroyed q good length of the
railway that had recently been carried
through the district.
The local mandarin, instead Of using
The forces under him to quell the riot,
sent the soldiers to assist in the evil
work. The entertainments were lcvcletl
for some distance and tho rails thrown
into the river, and IN attempt was
made TO destroy tho bridges. Mr.. Kim
der, the head engineer of the line, laid
the state OF the case before the toatoi
OF Tientsin, who is the head director of
the undertaking. The toatoi sont for
the mandarin.
ITO please yourself and your friends
sold he, you have destroyed the rail-
way track. To please me you will put
it back Just as it was before. If, in one
month from to-day, the trains are not
running as before, you lose your head,
and your family and ancestors are dis
graced.
"Mr. Kinder estimates the damage
and loss by non-running OF trains Mt fifty
thousand taels, which sum you will have
to pay out of your funds to the company.
For labor, all your oficials, soldiers
and townsfolks will work as you direct,
receiving no money for their labor, and
all salaries 1re stopped until the repairs
arc complete. shall appoint n board
Of publishers to return with you, with
power to torture and imprison anyone
who makes the least disturbance or
trouble" - ,.l. 80.
The mandarin begged for mercy on
the plea that, rs tho country was oil I'M
der water, he could not possibly get
mud and stone whcrewith to build the
embankments. The toatoi saw the
force of this plea and he said he would
give him n chance.
He could pull down any of his forts
that he liked in order to provide ma
terial for the rcpnir of the railway, and
he would give him three months after
the railway was completed to rebuild
his forts ut his (the mandarin's) own
expense. 'N
In less than three weeks the trains
were running again, and the mandarin
and his sgerfSs are now rebuilding the
forts.
