CHOLERA IN WASHINGTON.
Two Unauthenticated Cases Reported,

Two Unauthenticated Cases Reported,
but They Do Not Cause Scare
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Two cases of
cholera were reported in Washington
to-day, but no authentic information
could be obtained as to their wherea-
bouts. Surgeon General Wyman said
he did not believe there was any
cholera here. Every case that looks
like cholera will be called cholera" he
added. Il expected to hear reports of
that kind from all parts Of the country,
but until the health authorities pro-
nounce cholera to exist don't take any
stock in the reports"
There is fear that the cholera scare will
deter great many from coming to the
encampment, but there IS not yet any
reason why anybody should not come.
The city is pronounced in a most
healthy condition, and if it be deter

Run Into by the Nipigon.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE steamer
Vienna, Captain J. w. Nicholson, went
down in sixty fathoms of water neal
Whitefsh Point last night, the result
of collision with the steam barge
Nipigon. The Vienna, with the
Matte G.. Bell in tow, was com
ing down, laden with iron ore
from Marquette. The Nipigon,
towing the schooners Melbourne and
Delaware, was bound up. The weather
was fair and the night clear AS the
two stermers met, four miles this side
of Whitefsh Point, both whistled for
the port side. They seemed to be pass
ing all right, but the next instant they
came together with a terrific crash,
the Nipigon striking the Vienna on
the port side. The latter's stem
and forefoot were badly crushed, but
she was not leaking mn =. The
Vienna, however, had received NOR
tai blow. Both steamers at once
dropped their consorts, and the Nipi-
gon took the Vienna in two for the
shore. When within mile of shoal
water, after being towed for an hour,
the Vienna sank. Her crew jumped
aboard the Nipigon as she went down,
and all were saved, together with
their effects. They arrived at Sault
Ste. Marie on the Nipigon at o'clock
this morning.

I'VE may expect to hear of alleged

TO PROTECT THE RIVERS.

Suits to Be Brought at the instance of the
Pittsburg Coal Exchange - Railway
Bridges Which Are Considered Objec-
tionable.
1t is not generally known that q legal
fight of the first magnitude is on the stocks
and nearly ready to be launched. A Gov
eminent official informed q DISPATCH re-
porter that the Pittsburg Coal Exchange
had been quietly taking testimony for sew
eral months preparatory to entering suit
against the various railway companies that
have been impeding navigation by building
bridges over the Ohio and Monongahels
rivers He stated that the first objects of
attack would be the Panhandle Railway
bridge, between Try and South First streets,
this city; the bridge at Steubenville and
one at Marietta. 1t is proposed to attempt
to force the widening Of the channel piers
of all these bridges. That at Steubenville is
said to be the worst 81 the three; in fact,
the worst against which the Coal Exchange
must contend. 1t is alleged that the distance
between the piers, nominally 800 feet, Is so
curtailed BY rip-rap between the piers that
it is but little over 200 feet and that the cur
rent sets in in a way that makes the guild
ance of coal feet exceedingly perilous.
public opinion are on the side of the Coal
Exchange, the interest opposed is so power
full as to make the issue Of the contest
mighty interesting. He says the Govern
ment officials in charge Of river and hsrbor
work are not taking any part at present, but
may be drawn in before the matter is
settled

1t is proposed by this ordinance to give
the Pittsburg Traction Company all the

joyed by the Duquesne Traction Company
itself without any consideration. II those
franchises were worth SIS, 500 mile in paw

to permit the Pittsburg Traction Company

Precautions Against Cranks-Trsble
Guards for Many Of the Weaithiess
Men In New York.
NEW York, Feb 2a-rSpeeiol 1.-The
day the crank "a. B. 83s" threats against
Jay Gould were made public early in Janu-
ary, John D. Rockefeller engaged three
private watchmen to watch his house at
West Fifty-fourth street, in turns Of eight
hours each, all day and all night. Before
that he had watchman at night, like many
others of the wealthy residents of the neigh
borhood. Indeed, some of them have a
wstchmen on duty at all hours, so that he is
only following the fashion.
MI. Rockefeller, like all notoriously rich
men, receives many begging letters and
letters from cranks, but he says there was
no especial incentive Of this kind that led
to setting SO strict watch upon his house.
The reason for employing watchmen was
that he was out of town frequently, and
that the family felt more secure with
watchmaD within call.
Like Mr.. Rockefeller, Jay Gould has
three special policemen. Colonel Elliott
F, Shepard hired six-foot Irishman to
watch his premises MI. Sloane, next door,
has q man, too In front OF John R.
DosPassos' house tonight there stood man
feet inches tall. He was motionless as
the lamp-post on the next corner. He is
very thin, and his name is Frazer. Mrs.
Hicks-Lord employs James Fortner to pro-
tect her property: H. w. Roberts does
patrol duty at Mrs. William Astor's. Rus
sell Sage keeps Edward Farrell on hand.
Cornelius Vanderbilt entrusts the outside of
his house to the care of Thomas Loughlin.
James Francis O'Brien looks after Fred
erick Vanderbilt. Since the attempt of the
life of DR.. John Hall, Detective Charles
Gibson guards his house.
William Rockefeller keeps a special
watchman. as do Colgate Hoyt, Charles
Broadway Rouss, George w. Alexander,
Cyrus Field, John F. and Sidney Dillon,
Senator Brice, Robert E Bonnell, Dr. e. j.
Herrick and Alexander Maitland. When
receptions are given by any of these people
the number Of special men isincreased. The
joint receptions given by the Shepards and
Sloanes are attended by six private detec-
tives. While the ministers were holding
their meeting in Jay Gould's parlors, last
week, three special policemen guarded the
house. Tho private detective business has
become very brisk since Russell Sage's ad-
ventures.

CANT new mill Of the Marshall Kennedy

Camellia -four is made, is milling 1000 bar

what this means? Here are q few interest,"
ing calculations: Two thousand barrels
placed end to end will reach within few
feet of a mile. Placed in the form of q
column, it will build Is towers as high as
the Court House tower. 1t will cover the
floor of room over 100 feet square, and
will build pyramid 40 feet along each base
by 40 feet high. 1t will make a trainload
Of 16 cars. Not taking into account the
weight of the water absorbed, it will make
314 600 loaves of bread, weighing 20 ounces
each. Allowing one loaf to four men, it
will feed an army of /, 256, 900 soldiers If
one woman can 'knead 20 loaves at once, it
would require 15,7O0 bakers to work up
1000 barrels at baking. There are many
other interesting calculations that might be
made, but these are enough to convince you
there is tremendous demand for Camellia

demand if it was not superior four7 One

The Women of Memphis Do Not Believe
Miss Mitchell Is Insane.
R. c. Catch, a prominent Wheeling Re-
publican, registered at the Central Hotel
last evening. Mr.. Catch went hunting in
Tennessee about ten weeks ago, where he
was taken i'll. He spent most of the time
convalescing in Memphis. He is very
much interested in the Alice Mitchell case,
and since the murder of Freda Ward oc-
Cured it has been the talk of the town.
The women of Memphis do not believe in
the insanity theory, and they believe the
murderess should suffer the penalty of the
law. Mr. Catch said he heard her mother
was insane, and it is claimed Alice was
born in madhouse.
Mr.. Catch is great admirer of Blaine,
and he still thinks the Secretary viii ac-
cept the nomination if it is unanimously
offered to him. He says somebody will
have to beat it into his head with a club
that Blaine is out of the race. He won't
believe it.
