CHOLERA CASES

Increasing Daily Mt Hamburg and the
People Becoming Alarmed-The Disease
May Become Widespread Despite the
Cold Weather.
HAMBURG, Dec est was thought
that the extraordinary measures taken
by the authorities would prevent an.
other outbreak Of cholera in the spring,
but the indications now point TO the
recurrence OF the disease in an cpl
demic form when warm weather set
in. Several cases Of the Asiatic type OF
the disease have occurred recently and
the outlook Is serious Yesterday -four
new cases were officially reported and
the people are beginning 10 grow rest
less, fearing that the disease will be.
come widespread despite the cold
weather
The authorities are doing everything
possible TO prevent the disease spread
ing. Particular attention has been paid
to the water supply and the inhabitants
now And 1t possible TO avoid any use Of
the filthy water Of the Elbe.
A large number of the tenement
houses have been subjected TO thorough
overhauling and cleaning, though many
still require the attention Of the au.
thoritieA Should the disease again ap.
pear In epidemic form no responsibility
can be placed upon the authorities, un.
less indeed they are held responsible
for the disease gaining foothold here
last summer In any event 1t is not be-
lieved that the authorities will again
attempt to make false returns Of the
number of cases or death, as their ex
perience Of last summer has taught
them the futility OF such action.

\ PtrrsBun6n Dec. % True bills were
returned BY the grand jpry yesterday
against Hugh f. Dempsey Robert
Beatty and u nj Davidson for felcnious
sssanltand battery in administering pol
son TO the, nonHunion men at the Home
stFad Steel works. II Is likely that the
teials of these cases will take preced-
ensp over the otheF Homestead cases
Much has been said about the Carne-
t,ie attorneys and the Pinkertons being
IN possession Of knowledge relating TO
the kind Of drug used; about their
analysis made Of the content Of
the stomach of one man who
had died and about the analysis hav-
ing bcen made Of the tea, coffee, etc,
containing the drug The district at
torney and county coroner both de-
nand6d Of Attorney Breck report. Of
the analysis. Mr.. Breclx admitted to
both that he had no such evidence, and
from this 1t may be inferred that the
prosecution knows no more than is con-
tanned in the confessions of Gallagher
and Davidson.
The latter said they had been told by
Beatty that IL contained Turkey rhu-
barb and Something else.p The in
dictments Of the grand jury shows that
no further information on that point
was developed. Four physicians were
the only witnesses examined. The bill
is returned for the poisoning Of William
E. Griiiiths and other persons, names
unknown. At the request Of the dis
trict attorney DIR. Burnan and Druggist
Schaeffer, of Homestead, whose names
have been connected with the alleged
poisoning. called ut his Office yesterday.
They had long and private talk The
district attorney would only say that
the talk developed nothing. II was
agreed on application Of attorneys
Coke and Brennan TO admit to bail ex-
Burgess McLuclrie and Hugh Ross, who
are charged with murder. They will
probably get their freedom to-day.
Edward o. Christy, of the Carnegie
Steel Company, said yesterday: so
far as we have been able to learn the
number of persons who died from the
effects of the poison they received num-
Der thirty-two, but many other work
men. some Of whom will appear at the
trial, are dying on their feet Since we
have begun this investigation we have
been startled by the number Of letters
we have received from every part of the
country written by non-union work
men who became sick OF the prevailing
complaint at Homestead and went
to fheir homes Many are yet sick and
all are confident they were poisoned.
There were altogether 1000 men EN-.
ployed by the Carnegie Steel Company
during tho strife, and Of these over
1000 became sick. Some died and many
were for weeks on the edge of the

Our custom Of nscribing human rue.

constantly ascribed to beings presumed
TO be infinitely more remote from us in

distant past roasted flesh and fruits

TO the gods, doubtless because they
were pleasing TO the palates Of the wor
