CHOLERA SUBSIDING.

The good news comes from New
York that the cholera scare is about
at an end: unless there should be
a fresh outbreak, not now anticipated.
The fact coming to light that five
deaths from cholera had occurred in
the city from September 9th to the
18th, gave the country a genuine scare,
and caused much CONSERVATION in all
quarters as a natural consequence.
Happily, however, the latest official
bulletins from the board of health are
to the effect that no cases or suspected
cases have appeared in the city since
the 18th, and no deaths from cholera
since that date, AT the quarantine
stations all is progressing quietly, and
new cases are very rare thing. No
new pest ships have arrived for several
days and while the vigilance will be
rigidly kept up, it is not believed that
there will be any further trouble from
this source. The news from foreign
lands is much brighter, also, and the
returns throughout the plague stricken
sections show a steady decrease in
the virulence of the scourge.

SAFE CRACKERS In TOWN.

When all's quiet then lookout for
burglars, Last Saturday night an at.
tempt was made to crack the postoffice
and Scowden q Clark safes, neither of
which proved successful, however. At
the postoffice an entrance was effected
by prying open the back door, marks
of square bar being plainly visible ON
the door and jam. A quarter-inch
hole was drilled about half way
through the door just over and par.
TALLY into the rim of the combination
lock. The attempt was abandoned at
this juncture, evidently because OF
some peculiar mechanism in the door
in which the drill could not well be
worked. Postmaster Knox's overcoat,
rather good one, of sort of blue.
black shade, was taken. Also some
specimens of silverware-knives, forks
aud spoons-which he had on exhibition.
A few cents worth Of stamps near the
money order window were not disturb.
ed. A number of letters in May
Park u Co.'S box had been torn open.
Aside from these the postmaster dis.
covered no unusual disturbances, and
it is possible the burglars were fright.
ened away before they had time to
give the office a general ransacking.
At Scowden d Clark's carriage fac.
tory an entrance was gained through
side window. An attempt had been
made to open the safe, but also failed.
The knob which works the combina.
ton was knocked of, but the lock was
not badly injured, and the prcprietors
were able to open their safe by the reg.
ular way, after a little tinkering.
Nothing else about the premises was
disturbed, Mr.. Scowden, whose resi-
dence is near the shop, was disturbed
about ore o'clock in the night by the
unusual barking of his dog and got
up and quieted him, He believes this
may have frightened the thieves.
No other places in the town were
visited, and no clue has yet been dis
covered that would throw any light on
the perpetrators. 1t may be possible
that this is the beginning the raid
along the Allegheny valley that may
be looked for almost regulaly about
this time of year. Ii s., towns above
and below us would do we'll to load up
for the brutes.
