The Cholera.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 15.-An Off
cial report gives the following figures
as the number of deaths from cholera
on July ID Astrakhan 277; Baku IS;
Tsaritzin 46; Saratof24 and Samara IL.
PARIS, July 15.-There were deaths
Yesterday at St Denis from the cpl
demic of cholerine AT Aubervilliers
there were fourteen deaths from the
disease.
LONDON, July 15.-The authorities
in Whitehall regard the state of affairs
in Paris with the gravest suspicion.
The urgency of the situation is accent
uated by the fact that the issue of the
French official records suddenly ceased
three weeks ago. The reports of the
cholera received from eastern Europe
are also very disquieting. The intended
holding of the great fair at NUni-Nov-
gorod is regarded as serious matter,
tending to the widespread diffusion of
the epidemic.
The postofIice authorities advertise
that they will send to-morrow's mails
from Southampton by the Hamburg
American line steamer Fuerst Bis
marck. This will be the first time they
have dispatched the mails by way of
Southampton without special directions
from the writers.

ger train, south bound, was held up by
gang of masked robbers at Adair,
Indian Territory, late last night. The
robbers secured the contents of the safe
ofthe Pacific express, between so, 900
and s75, 900 and made their escape. The
robbery was not accomplished without
a hard fight, however, in which two de-
tectives and two passengers on the
train were wounded. None of them,
however, is likely to die from the in
juries received.

RED-HEADED AND FROM OHIo.-A
red-headed young man in brown clothes
stopped several women on Broad
way New York, at 7:So o'clock
Wednesday night and spoke to them.
The women complained to Policeman
Haughney, who told the red-headed
man to move on.
I'm from Ohio and I'll do as l
please" said the red-headed stranger
Indignantly. He was badly mistaken.
Haughney took him around to Sergeant
Lane at the Thirtieth street station
house, and accused him of being intox-
icated and disorderly. The red-headed
man said that he was n. 9. Beck, man
ager Of the Warner Lithograph Com
pany of Akron, O., and he proposed to
have policeman's interference with his
rights punished. The sergeant lectured
him, and the red-headed man spent the
rest of the night in cell.

labor Troubles.

Contrary to the wishes of the strike
leaders at the Homestead mills, 5000
employees in the Carnegie Union Mills,
at Pittsburg. quit work yesterday, as
stated in the GAZETTE. The men
struck because the company refused to
confer with the Homestead men. They
had signed the scale, and their action
in violating the contracts with the COM
pany has damaged the cause of the
Homestead men.
The closing down of both these mills
will have Il depressing effect upon all
kinds of business in that part ofthe city.
The forcmen, superintendent of di-
vision and boss mechanics of Carnegie's
Homestead mill ut meeting declared
that they will not operate the mill I'M
der an armed guard. This action. it is
said. will render the operation of the
mill by non-union men impossible.
The strikers have settled down to the
belief that the mills will be started up
shortly with non-union men. They
claim to have authentic information
that nearly 200 workmen are within
short distance of the town waiting to
come in, vet this news does not create
the wild Juror it did last week. In
stead. it has been received rather stoi-
callv. The men realize that they can
do nothing while the militia are pres
ent. and are much less vehement in
prophesying their course after the
troops leave They seem to realize that
they are beaten, and now principally
pin their hopes on a compromise with
the company.
Gov. Pattison, accompanied by his
staff. went to Lebanon yesterday and
inspected the First Brigade.
Major Wright, Of the Third Brigade,
which is camped at Homestead, upon
being questioned as to the situation at
Homestead, replied that everything
was very quiet, but the forebodings are
very ugly. ''The strikers" he said,
''are armed, and there will likely be
bloodshed before the final settlement Of
affairs. The present peace is enforced
by the cloud of awe which hung over
the striking workmen since the arrival
of the troops"
The patroling of Homestead's streets
by provost marshal's guards yesterday
indicates that Major General Snowden
is preparing for a struggle with the
strikers, which seems more inevitable
each hour. Happily, the troops are in
excellent condition and we'll prepared
for whatever contingency may arise.
During the Congressional investiga-
ton Yesterday Mr.. Prick gave some fig.
ures declaring that the Homestead mill
was losing money, and that the de
creased price ofsteel billets was not due
to a reduction of tariff duties, but to
ovcrproduction. He declined to give
the cost of producing ton of steel.
The regular troops arrived at the
scene of the recent rioting in the Idaho
mining district yesterday. Conflicting
reports are received from that district.
According to one dispatch the strikers
have dispersed and gone to their homes.
According to another they are getting
ready for determined opposition to
the troops and are lying in wait to
slaughter the colored troops.
While there is quiet in the Eureka
Iron and Steel Mill, in Detroit, en-
pI1oyets and employees are firm, and
there is no prospect of an agreement.

HOMESTEAD. Pa, July l5.-In Home
stead all the citizens are unit to-day
in one sentiment-they want no more
violence. and declare that under no cir
cumstances save rc-introduction OF
Pinkertons will they resort to arms.
The men to-day declare that even the
presence of non-union men would not
provoke them to breach of the peace.
The members Of the old advisory board
to-day repeat that they are per-
fectly willing that the sheriff should
send deputies into the mill, and that
the locked-out men will not attempt to
pass the gates. The men, Of course,
are as watchful as they ever were for
the arrival of non-union men, yet it is
safe to say that no harm would be done
them.
About 1:30 o'clock this morning there
was hurried beating to arms through
the Second Brigade which was very
warlike. Information had been re-
ceived that the camp was to be attack
ed from the rear By the locked-out men
before daylight. The rumor was suffi-
cient to arouse the entire brigade, to
have the guards doubled every
where, and to keep the Sixteenth
Regiment under arms all night.
A skirmish line from the camp on a
double-quick surrounded the mill and
the men were certain then that persons
to supplant them were about to be
brought in. and Notwithstanding the
pacific assurances of the leaders clash
was narrowly averted. The feeling is
not friendly towards the troops since
strict military discipline has been en-
forced,

that it had sent messages to the Union

a LovE-MAKING GAME.-A new fad
is all the rage at present among the
young people of Roanoke. 1t consists
of a game which it takes fully an hour
and a-half to play. The young girls
take up graceful positions in different
parts of the room or lawn as the case
may be-on moonlight nights the
lawn is preferable. The young men
are all kept in an adjoining room until
the hostess rings bell, when they file
out and each young man seeks the side
of a fair maiden and whispers short
love story in her ear, The rules of the
game stipulate that this love story must
be impersonal, but that is left to the
conscience of the young men and they
are generally Of an India rubber
nature. In five minutes the bell
is sounded again, when each
Young man moves away to the girl
next to his right and whispers another
love story. No young man is permitted to
whisper the same story to two girls. AT the end
f five minutes the bell is again sounded, when
the Young men move on once more and so
keep the thing up until each young man has
whispered six different love stories to six diff
fcrent girls. after which each of the tender
maidens votes for the best story teller, while
the young men vote for the best lady listener.
As each maiden generally votes for her par
ticular beau and each swain for his best girl
the balloting is kept up for some time, and
yerv often the married ladies of the party be-
come the repositories of half dozen true love
stories and have to act as umpircs in deciding
which young man did his popping in the
ncatest way The game is becoming exceed
ingly popular and will have decided effect
on the matrimonial markct.-RoGnoke World.

THE FACT that the recent declaration
of a U. S. Judge in Idaho, that what
ever certain enthusiasts may hope for,
in this country every owner Of proper
ty may work it as he WILL" is deemed
worthy OF special mention and OF laud-
alton in some of the newspapers, may
well cause people who see beyond their
noses to think of the future with ankle
ty. Such declaration as that referred
to. a few years ago, would have subject
ed tie sanity OF the Judge who made it
to serious doubt, rs it would then have
been deemed as silly as if he had de-
clared that night follows day or that
when winter comes there will be cold
weather.
