the Cause OF the Scourge.
HEIGHTsrowN. y. J., July % A diph-
iberia epidemic has swooped down upon
this village, and dread and death abound
among the citizens to an alarming extent.
The first case noticeable was last Friday,
and Sunday and Monday six deaths of
children were reported to the board OF
health
Among the victims are Warren Blauyelt,
one of the largest merchants, and Young
Clinton, a newsboy. who was taken sick
and died in 10 hours. George w. Norton,
proprietor of the roller mills, lost his son,
and children of the most prominent fami
lies are hourly expected to die. Doctors
report 30 cases in town, with many outside
the borough limits.
Mayor Anderson summoned the board
of health Saturday night, and the state
board are now acting in CONJUNCTION with
the local board, and New York and Phila
delphia experts have been telegraphed for
Business is almost paralyzed, and terror
fills the inhabitants.
The whole trouble seems to be fixed upoT
the sprinkling of the streets with highly
polluted water coming from damned VI
stream into which the sewers of the facto
ries empty.
The medical profession repeatedly called
upon the common council to stop thu
Wholesale scattering of poisoned polluted
water ON the streets. but no heed wa
taken, and now the whole town may b
quarantined as n result of this crimina
negligence, which it seems will CLAIM
scores of the children as victims.

deputies at the mines The deputies are
men from surrounding towns. and are not
personally interested in the strike.
Shaft No. Al of the Kansas and Texas
company started up under armed guards
with full force of men. A large crowd
of strikers aud women gathered in the vi
cinity of the shaft, and were planning to
make a raid upon the shaft when Sheriff
Arnold appeared upon the scene. He adj
dressed the crowd. telling them that al
though his sympathies were with them, he
was bound to do his duty. He had placed
armed guards at the mines, and had order
ed them to protect the properties and the
men at work upon them. II he found that
his deputies were powerlesS to guard the
property in the county and the lives of its
citizens he would so inform the governor
and that executive could put 800 militia
on the ground in three hours:
II was useless to attack the men, he said
and he ordered the mob to disperse.
The mob obeyed the order and there was
no disturbance The strip pit men wer'
all at work and so far as heard from vert
not molested by the strikers. Now that

In the police court to-day James H.
Barker was charged with non-support.
His wife appeared against him and "a
strange story was divulged. They were
married six years ago in Pawtucket, R.
l., and have lived in Waterbury three
years. Two years ago Bark r left Wa
terbury and did not return until last
Thursday. He had given no support to
his family. Barker's two step-sons
testified to the same story. Barker said
that the reason he left was because he
did not care to support the two boys.
He said the woman had not been
married to her former husband and this
would make the children illegitimate.
He was unable to procure work since
his return. The woman he claimed did
not do right, and he only returned to
find out if she had secured divorce or
was married again. He was given sixty
days in Jail. Judge Root said there
were too many non support cases.
Barker wanted to know if, after serving
his sentence, this would free him from
supporting the woman. When told
that it would not. he intimated that he
would scarcely be found in Waterbury
again.

The English Press Urges Interference.
BANGKOK. July 25.-Siam's offer has been
refused by France owing to disagreement
in regard to the cession Of the left bank of
the Mekong river, although the other de
mands of France We re for the most part
conceded.
Meantime diplomatic relations between
France and Siam have been broken off, and
it is believed here that the delay in the
opening of hostilities is intended to enable
more French warships to arrive at Saigon
to assist in the destruction OF the forts at
the river entrance previous to an attack on
the town.
The palace is strongly defended by an Or
ganized force of IL 900 men, and IL terrible
hand to hand conflict may be expected.
1t is probable that all the foreigners here
will be protected by the British, Dutch and
German warships. which have arrived.
There are no American warships here as
yet. The Siamese government is trying to
negotiate with the French government in
Paris through its diplomatic representa-
tive there and independently of IN. Pavie,
but it has a very slim chance of success.
NJ. Favie, French minister resident, has
lowered the flags over his offices, and has
notified the Siamese government that he
will leave the city to go aboard the French
warship lnconstante on Wednesday. He
has requested the government to provide
pilots to conduct the Lutin and Comet'
down the river. French subjects in Bang
kok will I've placed under the protection o.
the Dutch consul.
The beginning of the block ade will be de
ferred until Thursday or Friday to enabl,
France to take the steps prescribed by in

The details of these operations are still
