CHOLERA IN ITALY.
Officials Suppress News In Regard to the
Matter.

Matter.
LONDON, July 26.-With reference to
the report of the presence of cholera in
Naples, and the statement of the
United Press that nothing has been
ascertained upon inquiry to Justify it in
asserting that cholera was present in
that city, the London agent of the
United Press has received letter from
his representative in Rome saying that
he photographed to London on Saturday
last the fact that the officials in Naples
had reported four cases of the disease
az having occurred there during the
early part of last week. This telegram
was never delivered, and there is no
doubt that 1T was suppressed. The let
ter adds that neither Naples nor Rome
newspapers make mention of cholera
anywhere in Italy, although United
Press advices show that it does prevail
at Alessandria and other places in
Piedmont, and that choleric disorders
prevail at Cuneo, the capitol of the
province of that name. Pilgrimages
have been prohibited and cordons OF
troops have been established to enforce
the prohibition.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

Yesterday.

A Perceptibly Eaeier Feeling at Louisville
Yesterday.
LOUISVILLE, July 26.-The financial
situstion is perceptibly easier to day.
Yesterdays storm, which closed three
banks, has relieved the surcharged at.
mosphere in money circles, and the
worst Is believed to be over. Those
banks which have stood the drain till
now are in little danger OF going down,
as the greatest pressure has passed off.
The country banks, which caused all of
the trouble, have done all the harm
that lies in their power. The local
situation has never been at all serious.
A number of smaller depositors, it ia
true, have taken alarm, and withdrawn
their deposits from some of the banks,
but the drain from this source has not
been sufficient to cause any embarrass-
ment. Most OF the banks received big
bundles Of cash this morning from out.
side places. One bank, which was the
subject OF rumor, raised $500, 600 in
Chicago, which placed it on a solid
basis.

States, 1T is an insult and an outrage to
have san ex-rebel arbitrarily and with.

Inc old soldiers urged that it was
more necessary now than ever for vet.
Grams to stand together and see that
their rights are maintained, even
though the honor due them might not
be awarded. Addresses were made By

Fullwood, Blair, WATSON, Campbell,

pointed to prepare a memorial for

Frank Spates c. II. Hamill, August Elch-

The coming convention will be the

The movement started in Frederick in

beginning with the following pream-
BILE:

Volunteer Fire Companies Of Maryland, in

vide pecuniary support, secure protection and

To be Partially Remedied.

The change in B. & o. schedule de-
lays the morning mail about three
hours.
Postmaster Walker asked for train
delay at Piedmont of a few minutes,
but railroad people said this would
prevent the connection at Mt. Savage
junction for Pittsburg.
The Superintendent of the Mail Ser
vice then proposed to have special
pouches made up in Baltimore and
Washington and sent on No. Z,
which passes Piedmont between u
and | a. m.
So that the loss will be partially
remedied.
This is probably the last effort for
postal accommodations for the people
that our veteran postmaster will be in
a position to make.
Along the Creek the earliest mail of
the day is very important one to
very many people-more so, in their
Judgment, than the convenience of the
comparative few who want to go to-
ward Pittsburg.
