HAMBURG, Sept. 5.-The fresh cases
of cholera discovered to-day number $50
the deaths number OF. Compared with
yesterday the decrease of the number of
cases is rs; of the number of deaths 36.
There is much loose Official talk to the
effect that the worst is over, that the
plague is sbating and that the people are
recovering from their panic. This talk
is echoed by the newspapers. 1t would
be difficult to name any specific sign Of
returning confidence among the people.
and the mortality from POI on Friday
to 313 yesterday showed how vain were
the hopes aroused by the slight abate-
ment of the plague, and the fact that
the average of fresh cases for yesterday
and to day it is larger than at any pre-
vious time shows conclusively that the
disease is at least not losing its hold.
Despite professions of confidence, more
over, the authorities have been busy pro
viding increased facilities for treating
cholera patients and to-day an orphan
age, refitted as hospital, and eight
cholera barracks have been opened.
Physicians have been placed on duty at
all railway stations and orders for more
dead wagons have been sent out by the
health officials.

Contempt OF Court.

WIIIIAMsPoRT, Pa, September O.
United States District Attorney Walter
Lyon made presentment in the United
States District Court here this morning,
asking for an attachment for George A.
Mccormick, Sheriff of Fsyette county.
At the March term of the United
States Court at Scranton, Charles Boles-
by, Amos Critchfield and Jacob Finkor
were convicted of illicit distilling and
sentenced to pay fine of 81 900 and
undergo six months imprisonment in
the Fayette county Jail. District At
torney Lyon says he has explicit infor-
nation that the Sheriff has taken the
prisoners from the Jail and has had them
working on his street railway and also
doing police duty at the base ball park,
of which Sheriff Mccormick is presi-
dent. The prisoners have been at liber-
ty since May, being allowed to sleep at
their homes over Sunday and working
during the week.
Mr.. Lyon has instructed United States
Marshal Harran not to pay the fifty
cents per day allowed by the govern
ment for keeping the prisoners.
The case is the first one of the kind
in the history of the United States
Courts, and puzzled Mr.. Lyon to inform
himself just what charge he could bring.
He finally decided to prosecute the
Sheriff for contempt court and the
arrest will be made to day.

A COlOred Editor.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 81. f. Christy,
editor of the Indianapolis World and one
of the most prominent men of the state,
has recently been converted 10 the Dem
ocratic faith and announces that he in
tends to support the entire Democratic
ticket at the coming election. Mr..
Christy has been a life long Republican
and his departure from the ranks of the
Grand Old party will doubtless be a
source of surprise to the colored people
of the state. During the last national
campaign he was one of Harrison's 5 most
enthusiastic supporters, but his eyes
have been opened since then.
He says: Il have been Il slave to the
Republican party since the day when |
cast my first vote. But / have made up
my mind to think and vote as | please
hereafter. l have long since ascertain
ed that the glorious promises which are
held out to people of my color by Re
publican office seekers on the eve of an
election invariably fail to materialize,
and is seems to me that it is high time
we were calling halt on such dupery. -

GENERAL FRANK RREDER, chairman of
the Republican state committee; Mar
shall Wright, chairman of the Democrat
ic State Committee, and Chairman Bur
rows, of the labor union party, met Sec
cretary Harrity at the state department
at Harrisburg on Tuesday and briefly
presented their views regarding the form
of ballot under the new election law.
Chairman Reeder thought the form
adopted by the department did not con-
form with the law. Secretary Harrity
intimated that the matter would be re-
ferred to the Attorney General for an
opinion.
After his conference with the State
Ch ,irman of the Republica n, Democrat
ic, Prohibition and Peoples party Sec
retary Harrity stated that the arrange
ment submitted bv Chairman Reeder
and others had raised doubt in his
mind as to whether or not the form of
the official ballot as issued by the State
Department should be changed. He
says he will consult with Attorney Cen
eral Hensel and give decision so that
officials and others shall promptly no.
tice any change if any is made. There
is no dispute about the nomination pa
pers. The objection to Secretary Har-
rity's form of ballot was that it does not
provide for the grouping of candidates.

Freaks OF an Empress.

VIENNA, Sept. 5.-The erratic En-
press of Austria has excited fresh doubts
as to her sanity by beginning to take
treatment under the directions of Parson
Sebastion Kneipp. She is eating rye
bread, drinking great quantities of water,
abstaining from meat and going with
out corsets. This mode of life is what
Parson Kneipp calls natural treat
ment," and hence he is known through
out Austria as the natural doctor. -
This most remarkable theory is that GO
ing barefoot cures nervousness. The
Empress of Austria has not hesltated
and swallowed this bit of quackery and
daily before breakfast she removes her
shoes and stockings aud walks in the
damp grass of the garden.

The German steamer, Moravia, ar
rived at New York from Hamburg, on
Tuesday night of last week, having lost
twenty passengers from Asiatic cholera
during her voyage of twelve days
Preparations have been made at all Cur
ports to prevent the entry OF cholera
There seems to have been no cases of
the disease on board the Moravia when
she arrived. The vessel WAS guarantined
and every precaution taken to prevent
the spread of the disease. 1t is highly
probable that new cases will develop,
though the spread of the disease may be
prevented. With the possibilities of the
spread of the disease it behooves every
community to see that all possible
sources of disease are prompt,
removed and all dangerous spots ceansed
and disinfected. Cleanliness and gen

means of prevention of the disease. and

O,OOO of the %, 900 required are still to
be manufactured, and the manager of
the company says it will require steady

contract by November lst. The state
pays for the booths, annexes, and guard

THE Lincoln (Neb.) Freie Presse would
not be surprised if the Democrats should
elect their entire state ticket in Nebras-
ks. There are 70,0OO German voters in
the state. a large majority of whom have
heretofore acted with the Republicans.
They are tired of McKinleyism and the
general illiberal tendencies of the party,
and are fast breaking away from it.
The Democrats have nominated two
German-Americans for important State
offices, S. n. Wolbach for Lieutenant
Governor and Matthew Gering for Attor
ney General. The Republica ms, as in
Illinois, have ignored the German
Americans entirely.
