New YORK, Sept. 16.-lSpeciall-Up
to four o'clock to day only one suspected
cholera case was reported, that of
Edward Hoppe, who died at 1925 Madi-
son avenue yesterday. The case is
under investigation. The arrival of
te Bohemia with eleven deaths on the
voyage and four new cases makes the
last of the Hamburg immigrant carry
ing vessels, the prs ctice ceasing with
this vessel. The deaths are ascribed to
gastro-intestinal trouble, but have the
appearance of genuine cholera.
The Normannia's passengers on the
Cepheus were safely landed in the after
noon and the fifty who would not come
up by boat arrived by railroad from
Babylon. They all complain Of the
Hamburg Packet Company but commend
the Normannia's officers and the cool
ness of tho passengers and crew.
Reports receive show that the pres
ence Of cholera here has caused needless
alarms in many places where ordinary
illness has been hastily asserted to be
Asiatic cholera. Some diminution Of
travel has already occurred owing to
fears of State quarantine, but thus far
New York has successfully undated
the disease. The emergency cholera
fund is steadily growing. No new cases
are reported at quarantine.
HAMBURG, Sept. 16.-TSpeciall-
Cholera again increasing hers. Two
hundred and twentytw two new cases and
ninety eight deaths were reported yes
terday, an increase of eighteen cases
and seventeen deaths from yesterday.

quarantine against New York.

panles, learning that the attorney gen.
eral had given an opinion to the presi-
dent that his powers were ample, sent o
statement to the treasury Of the num-
Der and character of passengers en-
route with the assurance that no
further immigrant traffic will be per-
mitted by them. r.

oBEvlNe ORDERS.
Mayor Trout's instructions Are
Being Carried Out.


Mayor Trout, in speaking of the sani-
tary condition of the city yesterday to a
TIMES reporter said: 1.-The people Of
Roanoke have responded to my sugges-
tions in regard to the matter OF clean
ing up the city. The sanitary conditions
are better than heretofore with the eX-
captions Of certain districts. The olice
are now engaged in personal inspec
ton OF every house in the city, and
WHIT re nuisances are found, notice is left
to abate the same within twelve hours.
Unless this is done the ordinance re.
specting nuisances will co rigidly en-
forced"
Speaking of the excavation work he
said. TOO many streets are being torn
up at once, causing great inconvenience
to our people irrespective Of the danger
with which it thereby threatens the city.
have caused many pools of stagnant
water tobe filled, and intend eradicating
this nuisance from the city. We are
having lime used freely in all parts of
the city"
Special attention is being given to
residences not connected with sewers
1t appears that many properties in this
city are owned by people residing away
tenants. These tenants complain of
the inability on their part to persuade
their landlords to make repairs neces-
sary to good sanitation.

THE SKATING PARsoN,
Who Went Drifting Down the
River on q Cake of Ice.

River on a Cake of Ice.
Rev. Henry E. Duers, colored man,
is the pastor of the Centennial Baptist
church in Sing Sing. He is hard
working pastor, but the weather Satur-
day being particularly fine he concluded
he would go skating, says the New York
Sun. The party of young cOlored men
he was with arrived at the waters edge
little way above the railroad station,
and soon they were all skating gayly.
No one enjoyed it more than the pastor.
In the midst of the fun, however, there
was loud cracking sound.
Look out! The ice is crackingp
came the shout.
The next instant-Mr. Duers hasn't
the slightest idea how it happened-his
companions were far away scurrying to
the shore for dear life, and he stood
alone, unfrlended, melancholy, on a big
cake of ice that had broken from the
main ice and begun to drift toward the
middle of the river. He WAS half dis
tracted with terror for the moment, but
presently his senses came back to him,
and when he found that for the present
at least he was perfectly safe he began
to think.
He was on nearly round cake about
thirty feet in diameter. How thick it
was he could not tell, and he didn't
want to test the question by walking
about. He decided at once that it was
be st to stand in the center.
His companions, who had by this time
reached points of safety, saw his danger
Gus predicament and waved their arms
and hallooed to him, but he was already
so far away that theelricrS sounded
faint. When the frozen raft with its
frightened burden reached the middle
of the stream it was on its way down
the river and Mr.. Duers felt sure the
end was coming. He decided. if it came
to the worst, to jump off and swim for
it. ana to be ready for it he took his
skates off. Very carefully he sat down
moved the skate from the other, and
then he changed legs and removed the
other skate.
Slowly he was drifting down the river.
The events of his life passed IN review
before his minds eye.and he saw all his
actions in new light. Would he be
carried out to sea? Would a vessel run
into him after it got dark? Would his
ice-cake melt and let HIM fall through
it into the water?
The sun was sinking and night threat
ened to Overtake him. But now he per-
ceived that rowboat was being rapidly
propelled toward him. In ten minutes
the rover made his way through the
drifting Ice and the parSOn was rescued.
His reScuer was Peter ClauSen, of the
Sing Sing Yacht club.
When he reached shore Rev. Mr..
Duers went straight home and offered
up prayer for his narrow escape.

HER DIRE REVENGE.
A Woman Who Got Even for Some
Fancied Slight.

~ can't say what the woman with a
brown hat on had done to the woman in
the black hat. OH Twenty-third street
car the other day. When | got on they
sat opposite each other and were looking
each other over in that cold and cruel
way pecular'to the SEX writes NJ. Quad
in the New York World. Probably both
had attempted TO board the car at once,
and one had been forced TO give way, or
the woman with the brown hat, who
wore No. shoes, had sneered at the
No. as opposite. Whatever the cause,
their demeanOr was so marked as to be
noticeable.
BY and by the woman in the brown
hat, who held some change in her hand,
started to place it in her portemonnaie
In so doing penny slipped from her
fingers and rolled TO the floor. She at
once bent forward to look for it, and a
few seconds later half arose to peer I'M
der the opposite seats.
ron, it was only penny, SIR" she
said, as the conductor entered to assist
in the search.
Now was the other woman's golden
opportunity. She took coin from her
purse, let it fall to the floor, and her
voice had the edge of razor to it as
she rose up and said:
Conductor, have dropped a FIVE
dollar gold piece, but you can find and
keep it! Please let me off at Fourth
avenue"
And the woman in the brown hat
flushed up and looked so panied and
mortified and Inundated that the con-
ductor whispered to me that it was one
of the meanest tricks he ever saw
played Oh that line.

The debate on this subject was contin-
ed to great length, and nnally motion
approving the governments explana-
tiOns of the clerical question was carried
by vote of 341 to 81. The ministerial
statement has been received coolly by
the public, and it is viewed as poor
composition. 1t is regarded as leaving
the clerical question in statu quo.
The paper SAID that the emperor ought
to have first written the address which
he made at the Brandenburg banquet,
and then submitted it in confidence to a
capable adviser. The Zeitung further
said it was certain that as prince des-
tined for the crown, he had received
an education which could only
have made him a military expert,
yet Emperor William desired to APP
pear versed in all branches by an ex-
tensive and complicated activity. The
article concluded with suggestive refer
ence to Emperor Nero, describing him
as vain. GLORIOUS and with mania for
greatness. He was, it is said, lmpul-
Sive and had hallucinations with &C
cesses of genlality. This was a typical
form of decadent majesty.
