sTABBING AFFRAY Ar STOCKTON.
Outcome of a Quarrel Between Two
Colored Men.

COlOred Men.
STOCKTON, July flames Gettys. a
colored cook Of the Yosemite House, was
very seriously stabbed this morning by a
colored dishwasher in the kitchen, John
Sherman. The men had frequent
quarrels, the cook being the fault
finder, it is said, and finally Sher-
man said to-day that if Gettys
did not stop his abuse he
would hurt him. At this Gettys made
for the dishwasher, and the latter grabbed
large, keen-edged knife, used for cut
ting vegetables, and when the cook ap-
preached close enough Sherman slashed
as II to cut across the big fellows throat,
but the cook caught Sherman's right
arm and held it, while he gouged at
the dishwasher's eye. Sherman tried to
use the knife, but a colored steward came
in and knocked the knife out of his hand.
The cook and dishwasher struggled
around the kitchen for a minute, until
Sherman again got the knife. when he
thrust it into Gettys' abdomen lust
above the left groin and ran out.
Gettys is a very large and feshy
man, and the fat protruded
from the wound, making an ugly sight.
He was placed in carriage and sent to
his home. The physician fears his in
testines are cut. Sherman escaped, but
was arrested at Lathrop.

THE DISEASE sPREADTNG.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 4.-The Official
Gazette announces eight cases of cholera
and three deaths in Astrak han on June
30th, and four cases and one death on
July lst. The epidemic, therefore, entered
European Russia at one of the most un-
healthy and unsanitary points The
latest official accounts from Baku say that
on June 10Th and 3Oth there were us
deaths and 100 fresh cases; that 20 cases
were cured, and IA are in the hospital.
At Tif1is, in three days, ending July Ist,
cases and deaths are reported in Petrofsk,
Shemakka, Shusha, Askabad and Uzer-
NADIA. The epidemic therefore has trav-
eled fast. All suspected steamer traffic on
the Caspian and Volga has been stopped.

VIENNA, July 4.-The first fatal case of
cholera at Baku occurred at a railway
station. The municipal authorities are do
ing nothing to prevent the spread of the
disease. No special hospital has been
opened, the patients being taken to the
general hospital in the public vehicles.
Many corpses have been left unburied
for days. One body was found in a pub
lie bath decomposed. Doctors, munich
pal authorities and inhabitants generally,
are fleeing from the town. No disinfect-
ants are obtainable, and general cOnfu-
sion prevails. The sanitary condition of
Astrakhan is terribly defective.
DR.. Drasche, in a lecture yesterday,
said that experience showed that the
cholera at Baku and in Tyria was less
virulent than the true Asiatic cholera
He thought that the gravity of the out
break had been exaggerated, that the dis
ease would soon be checked by sanitary
measures, and that there was no need of
alarm or apprehension of it's spread to
Europe.

Glaciers.
THE END.

Glaciers plunge into the sea in MANY
cold countries and perish by drowning,
their dismembered remains floating
away as bergs. But their end is by dis
solution where the annual mean temper
ature rises considerably above freezing
point. AT some certain level they melt
faster than they can flow and so termi-
nate. The level indeed is a f1uctuating
one. Icelandic glaciers are now steadi-
ly advancing. Swiss glaciers, accord
ing to M. Forel, have undergone during
the present century five alternate peri
ods of diminution and growth. The me-
teorological changes occasioning and
emphasized by these oscillations are
very slight. Their character. however.
is unmistakable and such as might have
been anticipated. That is to say, gla-
clal decrease accompanies warm and
dry cycle; glacial increase, one that is
damp and cold.
Considerable alarm was accordingly
felt lest the flooding of the Sahara, num-
bered among the futile projects of a re-
cent sanguine epoch, should result in
largely increased snowfall upon the
Alps, and the consequent ice submerg-
ence of inhabited valleys Such fears,
1t is true, rested ON meteorological
misapprehension, yet they We're in prin-
clple well lfounded.-Edinburgh Review.

So far as the salubrity of the natural
as compared with the artificial ice is
concerned, we may rest assured that as
regards bacteria one is just as whole
some as the other, provided the water
used is pure. If the water is impure
from sewage or other unwholesome
thing, then the natural ice is never fit
for domestic use. If water is impure
the processes of artificial icemaking, if
carefully performed, are capable of fur
nishing even from it product which is
harmless and wholesome, whether it be
absolutely germ free or not, for abso-
lutte freedom from germs-if these are
not disease producing forms-is neither
necessary nor especially desirable. 1t is
not bacteria, but disease producing bac-
terra, which make of practical signifi-
cance the invisible flora of either water
or ice.-T. Mitchell Prudden in Har-

The Standard, Henry Georges
single tax organ, closed it's career
and published its valedictory with
the issue of August 31st. The sin
gle tax theory has spread far beyond
the narrow limits which Mr.. George
and The Standard seemed to mark
out for it, and refused TO remain
attached as a kite tail to a political
party that held nothing in common
with the doctrine in political econ
omy it proclaimed, In fact Mr.
George and his close friends and
devout personal admirers, allowed
their cause to be overshadowed by
an almost insane advocacy of free
trade, which is question wholly
foreign TO that of single tax. The
public virtually turned its back on
this fad of Mr.. George and his small
band and carried the single tax doc
trine TO the people wholly divorced
from ether economic questions
Hence The Standard became an
unnecessary medium for the support
OF the principles it avowed, and as
the democratic party had no use for
it, Mr.. Post, its editor since the death
of Mr.. Crosedale, and Henry George
published the paper's obituary in the
last issue.
