Brigandage Still Flourishing Institution
in Sunny Italy.

LONDON, September 15.-The cor
respondent of the Times at Rome sends
to that paper an article on brigandage in
Italy, in which he says it is an unde-
niable fact that brigandage is on the in
crease, not only in Sicily, but upon the
mainland.
Personal security in the northern
provinces, to the frontiers of the old
Papal states, is as unthreatened as in
England. But about Viterbo, in the
Campagna di Roma, forty-two miles
northwest of Rome, in the vicinity of
Corneto, in the Province of Rome, twelve
miles north of Civita Vecchia, and even
within twenty miles of Rome, the out
laws living in the forests blackmail the
landlords round about and rob travellers.
The same state of things exists between
Velletri, which stands on height bor-
dering ON the Pontine marshes, and Ter
racina, at the southern extremity of the
marshes. The insecurity is spreading
between Palestrina and Velletri. All
these places are within a comparatively
short distance of Rome.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, September 15.-
The city today has been in a furry Of ex-
citement over what seems to be genu-
inc case of cholera. Shortly before Z
o'clock this morning, John Henry, a
janitor of the Sheldon avenue school,
found an italian writhing in terrible ago
ny in field on the outskirts of the city.
The police were at once notified. and the
hospital ambulance called. When that
laborer, was exhibiting all the symptoms
of the dreaded disease. He was taken
Immediately to the hospital and isolated
from the other patients. Health Officer
Wright was notified and went at once to
the hospital and examined the patient
Shortly after, Superintendent Stark
weather of the hospital, the house ply
sician, and Health Officer Wright held a
consultation. All three were interviewed
but are very reticent regarding the case,
and will not commit themselves. After
some urging Superintendent Starkweath-
er said that he did not think the case
one of Asiatic cholera, but conld not say
what later developments would show.
The news that there was probable case
of cholera spread like wildfire and soon
became the general topic of conversation.
The newspaper offices were besieged
with anxious inquirers. The Italian
supposed to be suffering with cholera
proved to be Romeo Rooney and is
farm laborer.
This afternoon his brother Natalie, re-
siding with him on Hudson street, was
stricken with the same SYMPTOMS. He
was also taken to the hospital and isola-
ted. The fact that another case having
symptoms similar to those of cholera
has occurred has filled the residents
of Hudson street with consterna-
ton. That part of the city in which the
street is located is on low marshy ground
and is one of the most unhealthy sections
of the city. The health officers and
hospital authorities still maintain rigid
silence in regard to the cases.

the dense woods that line the road at
this point. He seized tle horse by the
bridle and demanded what tluables the
driver had in his possession. There
were no passengers on the stage at the
time. The driver, John McDonough,
instead of complying with the mans de-
mand, laid his whip on the horse and
succeeded in throwing the man to one

man cried out and ran into the woods.
Whether or not the shot took effect is
not known. McDonough then proceeded
to the house of Mr.. Lane, encountering
two suspicious characters in the edge Of
the woods, a few yards below the scene
of the attempted robbery. It is proba-
BILE that the robbers were unarmed.
Lane and McDonough went back to the
place where the attempt had been made,
and searched the woods in the vicinity
without finding any traces of the men.

told his story, and posse of armed
men at once started out to scour the
woods, continuing the search unsuccess-
fully for several hours. This is the first

Ex-Surgeon General Hamilton came to
quarantine this forenoon to consult with
DR.. Jenkins over the uses to which San

moved to Hoffman Island and under
gone from four to five days detention
there. This decision was arrived at be-
cause of the facilities at Hoffman Island
for disafecting and also because of its

would be preferable not to remove any
passengers to Sandy Hook camp until
