PANIC BEGINS
IN HAMBURG
Residents Badly Frightened
and Leaving in Large
Numbers.
RAILWAY STATIONS CROWDED DA>
AND NIGHT WITH REFUGEES.

Alarming Increase in the Number OF
Spreading Far and wide-Steamsrs De-
tanned at New York and Immigrants
Not Allowed to Land-Reports From
Many Infected Quarters.
HAMBURG Aug. 31.-The sultriness of
the atmosphere has caused the spread of
cholera with increased rapidity and
hopes of the near abatement of the dis
ease have received n shock. Last hight
$40 new cases and $40 deaths were re-
ported for the day. The number of in
terments yesterday was 300, almost three
times the average in healthful times.
Many of the burials now take place at
night, as then there is not only less dan
ger of infection, but also fewer persons
abroad to be panic stricken by the appal
ling frequency of the funerals.
Most of the bodies are unaccompanied
by friends or relatives. Persons of the
poorer class dying in hospitals are buried
without any attempt at ceremony and
without having been even seen by friends
or relatives.
The long expected panic seems to have
come. The exodus of families of property
full night and day, and there is difficulty
in finding porters enough to transport the
baggage.
business is dead. Most of the shops
not dealing in the daily necessities are
closed. Those that remain open are doing
little business.
The loss of trade in the last three days
is estimated to be over 100000. The
celebration of Sedan Day, anniversary of
the surrender of Napoleon Ill, has been
forbidden.
DR.. Harris Graham, an American ply
sician, said to have had experience with
cholera in Syria, is organizing the medi-
cal students to act as assistants and
nurses should cholera become epidemic in
Berlin.
Six cases of cholera are reported from
the military camp at Lockstedt. Many Of
the soldiers are ailing, and a temporary
hospital has been established.

EFFORTS AT NEW YORK.
A Number of Steamers DOtaine -Sugge
tions by the Health Board.

A Number of Steamers DOtained-SugGes-
tions by the Health Board.
New York, Aug. 31.-The Board of
Health of this city is continuing its effort
to prevent cholera from entering the city.
The Board has decided to retain the serv-
ices of the summer corps of physicians
during September. All police captains
have been ordered to have the men of
their command act each as a sanitary Off
Ger and look to the perfect condition Of
his post.
The Board has issued circular descrip-
tive of precautionary measures in detail.
People are cautioned against the eating
of uncooked articles Of any kind, and are
urged to regard cleanliness above every
thing else.
During the morning the Health officers
were looking after the passengers of the
Crcassia, of the Anchor Line, from elias
gov She carried 242 cabin and 269
sickness on board. There was much
complaint among the passengers when
told of the new regulation, but there was
not hing for them to do but submit.
BY noon three of the transatlantic fleet
of passenger steamers were ordered tied
up for period of five days.
In addition to the Circassia, there were
lllS + IlSSlillIl, VI Guc 1NCu quar- 4IlAS, anu
the Veendam, of the Northumberland
can Line.
The Fresland lay at Antwerp for two
days after the cholera made it's appear
ance there, and she is tho first vessel to
reach here from that port since then.
For this reason the Health officials are
anxious on her account.
Her passenger list numbers 322 cabin
and $50 immigrants.
c. g., ho In
arouse the suspicious of the doctors who
examined the passengers was found.
An early effect of the cholera epidemic
| is beginning to show itself among the ex-
| porters of this city.
OF all lines of business, the provision
| trade is, as a rule, the first to be affected
| by calamity, and the result of the present
scare has been to shut off suddenly new
| orders for shipments of provisions.
| According to an authority in the pro-
vision trade, there have been received no
new orders for shipment to Europe for the
| last ten days.
The saloon and second cabin passengers
| of the steamer CircaSSia were allowed to
land in the afternoon. The steerage pas
sengers remain on Board, however, and
the work of disinfecting their baggage
| progresses.
Some of the saloon and second cabin
passengers on the Friesland were trans
ferred to the steamer John E. Moore.
Only portion of the passengers were
landed, as they preferred to remain on
board the vessel, owing to the customs
officers refusing to allow them to take
their luggage, not even the smallest
piece of hand baggage.
The cabin passengers of steamer Veen-
dam were transferred just before sun
down, under the same restrictions a.
those of the Circassia.

The Great Brass Trust In Wa
terbury and What It
Suggests

Whether the proposed Brass Trust be
for good or evil, it ia as sure 10 come rs
that night follows the day. 1t may be
nostponed from time to time, but 1t must
come. Capital and labor are in the com
mercial swim, and while at present the in
exorable law of competition is making
us fight each other bitterly, we are solving
the great Industrial problem with wonder
full rapidity. This couI try is accustomed
to doing great things, and we must keep
up the habit because we cannot help 1t.
The question of Capital and Labor Is as
much an issue to-day before the country
NJ was the question of slavery in 1850
We will have to think it out or fight 1t
out. We hope we will be able to keep
good natured about it and THINK 1t out.
For instance, all the railroads in this
state will soon be under one management.
If all the Furniture Stores in the city
were under one management we would
not have those failures in the trade every
two wears. There would be Just IA much
work for everybody On account OF the IN
creased business it would naturally BRING
but it would be done with greater suits
faction We often HAYS to hand ladies' "
chair as soon ns they get inside our doors
SO exhausted are they from going around
to the several stores. They would ike to
come here the first time and purchase, but
they are used to the old style of going
around. Our reputation for fair dealing
and low prices is 40 firmly established
that we don't have to talk about that
This fall we are stocking up on gigantic
scale in Carpets, Stoves, Ranges, Pictures,
Shades and Furniture of every descrir-
ton, 80 that the whole community can
find the largest amount of goods to select
from. We want you to visit us whether
you wish to buy or not 50 that you can AL
wise your friends where to come. We
furnish you from the CELLAR to the
ATTIC. Our terms are always the most
liberal, and the people all like us when
they find out the way we do business
Come and get our prices.

ALARM IN LIVERPOOL
Four Suspected Cases There-several Yes
sells Detained.

LONDON, Aug. 81. Four emigrants
from Russia on their way to America have
been stricken at Liverpool with what APP
pears to be cholera.
They were sent to q hospital and the
cases are being watched to see if the dis
ease is Asiatic cholera.
Other emigrants are being closely in
spected, both for local sanitary reasons
and because the steamship companies are
anxious not to carry any who are likely
to cause trouble in landing.
The bark Helene, which left HAM
burg on August 90, for America, has been
detained at Dover, on account of sickness
on board.
Last evening the Helene was towed to
Gravesend, and two of the crew, afflicted
with Asiatic cholera, were taken to land
and put in the hospital.
The bark Silvio, of Hamburg, is de-
tanned at Gravesend, on suspicion that
there may be cholera on board.
Donald Currie Sc Co., announce that
the steamers of the Castle Line will
henceforth cease calling at Hamburg and
Flushing en- route to Africa, and that
they have ceased booking passengers for
Medeira and Das Palmas.
The Right Hon. James Lowther, speak
ing at Ramsgate, urged that the public
welfare demanded that the government,
with or without warrant of law, should
at once prohibit immigration while the
danger from cholera menaced Great
Britain.
He would pledge the support of the
Conservatives should it be necessary to
indemnify the government for any action
it might take in defense of the public
health against the cholera scourge.
This, declared the speaker, was not a
time to be pedantic or to stand on the
letter of the law in face of a great public
danger
Ida Samyan, the Russian Pole from
Hamburg, who was admitted into the
London Hospital, Monday, apparently
dying from disease supposed to be Asiatic
cholera, is still alive.

Four Hundred Men in Shoenberger's Mills
Go Out.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 31.-Four hundred
men quit work in Shoenberger's mills,
between 14th and 10th streets, yesterday.
The announcement made by the firm that
it would start up the steel departments
attracted large crowd of men, who re-
fused to go to work, pending a settlement
of the steel scale.
Shortly after o'clock a sufficient num-
Der of men had been secured to start up
the Bessemer department., and the CON
verter was put into operation.
Some of the men at work were old en-
ployes. The remainder of the crew was
made up of new men. Up to noon five
heats had been cast into ingots.
AS soon, however, as this was trans
ferred to the steel departments, the pud-
oilers, roughers, catchers, muck bar roll
lers and horseshoe workers came out on
strike. All the departments of the
mill were then closed down except the
Bessemer, which continued making steel
inROtS.

POLICE BOARD MEETING,

Charges Preferred Against Officer Allen
by James Turley.
The regular monthly meeting of the
board of police commissioners was held
last evening. Acting Mayor Thompson
presided and there were present Com
missioners Reilly, Goodrich and Nc
Donald.
The monthly bills, amounting to 3d.
394.22, were approved, as was also the
following report of Chief Egan:
Whole number of arrests 1877, cases
1862, males ISL, females II. Causes of
arrest: Assault 2, breach of the peace
20, contempt of court 3, carrying con-
cealed weapons 1, escaped prisoner /,
intoxication 81, insanity 2, unlicensed
dog /, unmuzzled dog l, lascivious
carriage ?, peddling without license l.,
resistance 3, theft Is, taking team with
out leave /, vagrancy 3, violation of
license law II, violation of city ordi-
nance 2, violation election law 1.
Nationality of those arrested: American
81, Irish AZ, English s, German 3, Pole
4, Swede 1, Russian /, Canadian 1.
The committee appointed to examine
and revise the instructions which
every police officer is supposed to be
guided by, laid the matter before the
city attorney for his consideration and
received the following reply, which was
accepted:
To the Honorable Board Police Com
misSioners:
AT the request of your committee
have examined the instructions" as to
the duties and powers of members of
the police force given in the police
manual of this city and find the same
are in harmony with and supported by
tho laws of the state. I have only to
recommend that little clearer state
mont no made of the destination no.
tween felony and misdemeanor. For
instance on page 40, under the heading
"What Force May Be Used," it might
be well to explain that all offenses for
which the punishment may be I'M
prisonment in the state prison, such as
murder, arson, rape, robbery, burglary
and theft, are called felOnieS; all minor
otfenses such as drunkenness, simple
breach of the peace, violations of the
city ordinance are called misdemeanors
[ would also add a third case in which
the officer would be justified in taking
life, viz:
3. eff the offender, whether in felony
or misdemeanor resists arrest, instead of
obeying, all force necessary to effect the
arrest may be employed by the officer,
and if, not desisting, but still forcing
the arrest, the officer is obliged to take
the life of the offender as in self-defense
he will be justified"
I believe the, constructions" need no
changes and only such additions as 1
have Indicated. AS they stand they are
correct and lawful.
Respectfully,
LUCIEN F. BURPEE,
City Attorney.
