TO KEEP CHOLERA OUT
Extraordinary Precautions at
 United States Ports.
THE PLAGUE REACHES ANTWERP

It Is Now Present in Three Great Euro
 pean Ports--Iucreasing Rapidly in Ham,
 burG-New Cases at Havre-Reports from
 Other Sections Where the Disease .is
 Prevalent.
 NEW YORK, Aug 25-In view of the rapid western march of the dread Asiatic cholera, and to prevent it's entering the United States at the port of New York, stringent precautionary measures have been adopted at Quarantine by Health Officer Jenkins of the port of New York and his assistants.
 The fact that the cholera has appeared at Hamburg and Havre, two of the most important European ports to which the Atlantic lines run, has made the situation all the more alarming, and has increased tenfold the probability of it's reaching the United States.
 Dr. Jenkins has been carefully watch ing the steady westward march of the dread disease ever since Its first appear ance, and has been making preparations to cope with it should it be brought here by any steamships entering the port. The Health Department at Quarantine has never before been in such excellent condition, or better able to cope with con- tagious diseases, and should the cholera appear on any of the Atlantic lines Dr. Jenkins is confident that he can prevent its reaching further than Quarantine. Dr. August Siebert, one of the best known German physicians in the city, starts for Hamburg to-day, provided with instructions from our health authoriti es to the authorities there. His mission is | to observe the methods of cholera treat ment there and their system of quaran- tine against the Russian immigration that brought the scourge to that port, as it threatens to bring 1t here.

DABOLL'S FAINT HEART.
Fear that He Would Fail in ''Puritana"
 Caused His Death.

HoLLIsToN, Mass, Aug. 25.-After a short service to-day the remains of the dead actor, w. s. Daboll, will be taken to Providence.
 Owing to the illness of his sisters in that city there will be only brief service and that at the grave.
 It has been ascertained that Daboll took the poison while passing up stairs behind his wife, and also that he was sufficiently read in medicine to prepare the poison. It is stated that quite recently he told how he had once attempted suicide with laudanum.
 Later developments lead to the belief that Daboll committed suicide because he feared he could not master his role in "Puritana," and he chose death rather than failure.

The DEMOCRATIC RATIFICATION

Tuesday evening the democrats gave
a splendid parade and amusing enter
tainment to vast crowd of people. In
the experience of the democrats it has
been SO rare to have an opportunity of
having an election jollification, that all
parties appreciated their pleasure on
this occasion. All the afternoon people
from the country and other towns, had
been pouring into Lancaster, and at
o'clock the streets were crowded with
citizens and visitors admiring the illum-
nations and decorations in homes and
business houses while awaiting the
parade. The music of three bands
heralded the approach of a brilliant
procession. The surprise of the even
ing probably was the great number of
riders mounted on white horses followed
by nearly hundred more on dark
horses. Torchlights, transparencies
and occasional displays of fireworks
illuminated the city and the booming of
the cannon from the fair ground added
to the celebration. The band wagons.
the carriage of democratic singers, the
wagon with the wildcat and a we'll
worked calliope, the borruche with
prominent democrats and many OF the
m en- and horses were gayly decorate
with stars and red, white and blue.
The Flambeau club and the little boys
with chinese lanterns attracted much
attention. After marching with many
turns and figures, the horses were put
away and the procession and crowd
gathered in the court yard, where Mr..
Cleary made some remarks of congrat-
ulation, after which cheers for the
democratic leaders closed the evening
programme.
The Lancaster, Montfort and Brodt-
vile bands were the musicians, but
voices and whistles of many varieties
were in constant attendance. 1t will
long be remembered as a democratic
rejoicing.
