The chol.r.i Enrana.

LoSpos, Aug. 27.-Cholera returns for
the past week show that in twenty-one
provinces of Russia 4 325 new cases we're
reported and 1852 deaths occurred. No
fresh cases of cholera were reported at
Rotterdam today. Two new cases were
reported at Hansweirt. There were eight
deaths from cholera In Naples. Yester-
days report that cholera had become cpl
demic in Rome and seven persons had
died of it, is erroneous. Nineteen new
cases and FIVE deaths from cholera were
reported in Balsamo today. One new case
of cholera and one death were reported at
Antwerp yesterday.
The Berlin correspondent OF the Times
says: The occurrence of two cases of
cholera at Nordhafen. on a canal fed by
the Spree. leaves little doubt that the river
is infected. The government has ordered
the closing of all river baths.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times
teiegraphs: Official returns show further
abatement of the epidemic. Only forty
seven districts of Hungary and twelve dis
tricts of Galicia are now infected with
cholera.
ROME. Aug. 27.-The Tribuna says there
are nineteen new cases of cholera and Eve

The interview with Henry C. Jarrett, at

spired him to write the following graphic
account of it:
1T being the centennial year many sug-

tract attention through all coming time.
Many New York papers declared it could
not be done inside of four days: others
nearer the Pacific thought il could. Some
engineers on the Central Pacific suggested
that il they were allowed 20 run the en-
gines all the way they would bring the
train into Long wharf depot at Oakland
inside of three days.
After much newspaper speculation and
deal of hard work on the part of all rail-
way men, it was decided to undertake the
trip in eighty-four hours. The New York
Herald. of june I. 1876. published the route
and schedule. The train left Jersey City
