BERLIN, Aug. 3i.-A serious riot oc
Cured last night at Weissense, g
northern suburb Of the city, where was
located the encampment Of a travelling
show. Among the members Of the
troupe was a woman named Bruhn who
left Hamburg three months ago
Yesterday her son arrived from Ham

burg u long time before cholera ap
peared there. However, both refused
to obey the police mandate, and the
officers proceeded to remove them tc
the lazaretto.
In the meantime the police ordered
that all the shows being given at the
encampmont be closed. The showmen
refused to obey theirorde When the
police attempted 10 close them they
showed fight There was a large crowd
present and was entirely in sympathy
with the showmen. Some members of
the crowd were not at all backward in
offering to assist the showmen in defy
ing the police and when the latter per-
sisted in their attempts to close the
shows a free fight followed in which
the greater portion of the crowd took
part. 1t would have gone hard with
the police had not the gendarmes been
summoned to prevent rioting. The
gendarmes responded 10 the call for as
sistance and soon suppressed the disor-
der and closed the shows
SCIENTISTS AT WORK.
New YoRK, Aug. 81. One Of the pre-
cautions against cholera which has
been most carefully guarded from the
newspapers is the meteorological work
going on at the health depart
ment laboratory and at Dr. Her
man Biggs' private laboratory to
give warning Of the first approach Of the
scourge. For weeks past, every sus-
picious case of cholera morbus or dysen-
terry has been followed up by sanitary
inspector Of DR. Roberts staff. Speci-
mems have been gathered up in steril-
ized bottles and subjected to micro
seopical analysis by DR. Biggs and by
DIR. Bebee, the department chemist and
his assistant, in the Blocker street
laboratory
Both of them are baclteriologlists and
have made the comma bacillus, which
carries the germ OF the cholera, spec
ial and exhaustive study. So far they
have examined scores Of specimens, but
found no trace OF the Asiatlc guest. 1t
is for their report that has appeared
that the board Is waiting before issuing
their circular 10 the public, which 1t
holds in readiness.
