The complete report of the hearing over the grade crossings near Patrick Houlihan's at Hawleyville, will be perus- ed with deep interest by all who are obliged to travel that way. The New England officials,as usual, l,pleaded pover- ty and whined about having this death trap removed, while the New York and New Haven officials seemed ready to do what the commissioners ordered. As to the testimony, there be could but one decision and if the commissioners allow this dangerous place to remain as it is, they will go contrary to good judgement. The New England's poverty is no ex- cuse for maintaining this nuisance, and the commissioners know it. The New England road does big business, and if it was not for mismanagement, it un- doubtly would pay large dividends. Let the commissioners compel this road to respect law and life, which they do not at present.

To say that the people of the towns along the Housatonic railroad were dis appointed over the new time table pre- sented by the new Berkshire division would be drawing it very mildly. It has been the all absorbing theme, and if President Clark could have heard all the 'kicking" that has been going on, he would change the tables mighty quick. No more trains than at present are want ed, but more judicious arrangement, and permission to ride on the freight trains. The general feeling is that a train should be run on the time of the old l09 D. m., south. As the time Is ar ranged now, one Is obliged to go on an early morning train to Bridgeport, if he would return the same day. There should be train south at 4 or there abouts, and passengers should be allow ed to ride on the 9 ?. m. freight north. From Botsford down an early train is needed, in order that workmen may get to their duties in the Park City. If per mission were given to ride on freight trains and the above changes made, much of the bitter dissatisfaction which now exists would disappear. People who travel New York way are all torn up over the change, but are disposed to sub- init, as they can't held themselves. The Consolidated officials have always sue ceeded in satisfying it's patrons, and it will be very strange if they do not cor rect the inequalities in this, the first and most unwelcome table of the new tBerkshire'' division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road. Petitions to the railroad officials, appeals to the Legislature and commissioners are in the air. But we look for prompt action on the part of the Consolidated of ficials to relieve the strain. They are shrewd men of business, and what's more, the Consolidated is in the field to make money and to accommodate the public. It can't and won't cut it's own throat. You wait auG see.

A BAD FIRE.

At 5.30 p m, Saturday last, word was received at the central telephone office from w. Minott Smith, stating that his house was on fire and asking for help. The fire bell was immediately struck and in very few minutes the hook and lad der company were on their way with their apparatus. On arrival at the scene of the fire, it was evident that any at tempt to save the house would be useless, as the fire had gained too much headway, and the attention of the crowd was given to saving some of the contents of the house and the adjoining buildings. The fire was first discovered by Mrs Smith as she went up stairs to put the children to bed and had evidently been smouldering for some time. The house was owned by P. R. Scott and was one of the oldest
 in town, but had been entirely remodeled few years since. He places his loss at 5000, with insurance of $3,000. Mir Smith places his loss at 5000, with in- surance of $1,600. The place was one of the most popular shore resorts in this vicinity and the genial proprietor has hundreds of friends who will extend their sympathy at his misfortunes. During the excitement Mrs Smith fell and badly sprained both her ankles. The hook and ladder company did he- roic service in saving the adjoining resi- dence of the late Dea Treat Curtis, which stood directly opposite the burning build- ing and was several times on fire.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE board of
health this afternoon officially announced
five deaths from Asiatic cholera in this
city as follows: Charles McEvery, who
died September 6, at SO Tenth avenue :;
Mrs. Sophia Wigman, died September
10, at 769 Eley enth avenue; William
Wigman, husband Of Sophia, died at
same address on the following day Min
ME Levanger, a child, died September II, ,
at All east Forty-sixth street Charlotte
Beck, aged 60, died at 463 Second ave-
Lue Professor Herman Biggs, who is
in charge of the division of pathology
and bacteriology of the health depart
department, has been at work making
archaeological examination of the intes-
tinal fluids taken from the bodies of
those suspected cases. Professor Biggs
reported to the health department this
afternoon the result of an examination
and announced unhesitatingly that the
cases were Asiatic cholera beyond any
doubt. There seems to be but little dan
GER" said DR.. Bryan, $50 far and the
public need not be alarmed. Every pre-
caution has been taken by the board Of
health to cambat and crush the disease
wherever it may appear"
DR.. Edison says: "As to where the
cholera came from, it is the question we
are trying to solve. 1t is in the city and
it must have come from some out side
source 1t must have passed some quar-
antine. | think that before twenty-four
hours we will have run down the direc-
ton from which the disease came There
may be cases of sporadic cholera over
the city, but think the disease will be
speedily overcome"
Viewed from the health officers official
residence te night, the cholera scare is
not the pleasant picture of progress in
stamping out the disease which has ex-
listed for the past few days. The report
that actual Asiatic cholera has existed in
New York for the last week in spite of
daily official bulletins to the contrary,
spreads a wet blanket over the doctors
keeping the scourge from passing the
ocean gateway.
NEW YoRK,Sept. IA report reached
headquarters about midnight to the eff
feet that five new cases of cholera had
b zen discovered on Eleventh avenue.
DR.. Charles Roberts, of the bureau Of
contagious diseases, was communicated
with, but denied the rumor. He said
that no suspicious cases had been re-
ported TO night.

Tomorrow Is the Day and 1t Must Be Re
membered That 1t Should Blaze.
Tomorrow is the day that $50 staunch
democrats should go TO Raleigh 10 escort
General Stevenson to Durham. 1t is the
purpose of the Young Mems Democratic
Club TO have these $50 men wear white
beaver hats, linen busters, canes and
badges. AS published before, the hats
and busters can be had at w. A. Slater &
Cos store for 81 IS. The club furnishes
the badge free. Amy sort of cane will
answer.
When We remember that we are to have
such distinguished guest in our midst
as the nominee for vice-president of these
United States, there should not only be
80 men, but twice $50, to escort him from
Raleigh to Durham.
Aside from political considerations, the
town of Durham can do nothing less than
give Mr. Stevenson rOusing reception,
and one of the features of this reception
is the sending $50 men to escort him to
Durham. 1t is hoped that every good
democrat who has the interest of his
party at heart, and who has town pride
sufficient to see that our distinguished
guest is properly received, will at once,
to night, or early tomorrow morning,
procure hat, duster and cane and Join
the escort party and go to Raleigh. This
escort party will meet at the court house
tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, sharp,
march to the r. s. d. r. r. depot, where
we will take the train at 9:35 a. m. for
Raleigh. Fare for the round trip has
been reduced 10 $1O5.
Here is an opportunity for men, demo-
Gratis, patriots to show their allegiance to
principles of good government, and see
that our world renowned city does the
handsome thing and puts Durham's best
foot foremost. Let there be rush for
outfits tonight and early tomorrow
morning and meet promptly at time and
place mentioned.

1t Cuts a Swath ESQ Yards Wide and
Spared Nothing.
Mr.. Nash Cheek, who lives on the
Chapel Hill road, was a great loser by
the severe cyclone Tuesday night
1t unroofed and blew down thirteen
out houses for him, and but for some
large trees that stood between his dwell
ing and the kitchen, his dwelling would
doubtless have been demolished. These
trees fell against the house and in some
way afforded protection.
Bundles of fodder were blown half a
mile, and perhaps to a much greater dis
tance. A buggy was blown from the
shed and broken to pieces and the top
carried half mile
The open cotton in the patches was
twisted into shreds.
Mr.. Cheek was in a tobacco barn at
the time, curing tobacco, when the top
was blown off the barn and the logs fell
all around him. No one on the place re
ceived any bodily injury.
