As che returned from dinner she met

was vacant and was taking the satchel to
the office. An investigation, however,
showed that the satchel did not contain the
S54; and this threw great suspicious on the
chambermaid. But the woman happened,
at this point, to reflect that the $54 might,
after all, be in the other satchel down in the
waiting room; and so suspended accusa-
ton until she could investigate. The in
vestigation revealed the money safe in the

here to-day and credited among many
politicians that Senator Dubois, Senator
Shoup Of Idaho, and Senator Teller Of
Colorado have determined upon a similar
course TO that pursued by Senator Jones
and viii leave the Republican party. IL
has been known here for some time past
that Senator Dubois was meditating
leaving the Republican party and joining
the democratic ranks, but the report that
ShOup and Teller contemplate similar ac-
tion has created CONSERVATION among re-
publicans In the city. Senator Dubois
himself is the authority that if the next
republican convention fails TO act favor
ably on silver that both no
and Teller would walk out Of the conven-
tion. He is not even a Drotectionist, and
all his proclivities are toward the Demo
cratic party If that party continues it's

of the republican congressional campaign

1t Was Not Cholera That Killed Emil
grant John Walther.

Pittsburg, Sept Ga careful investi-
cation made this morning by the Leader
of the facts surrounding the death of an
emigraut, John Walther, at Cumberland
last night, gives no ground for the asser-
ton that his death was due to Asiatic
cholera.
DR.. j. Guy McCandless of the bureau
OF health stated this morning that he
had received q report from the inspec-
tors sent to look after the quarantined
companions of the dead man. and every
member of the party was well, and no
signs Of the least sort of disorder were
7 evident. superintendent Baker of the
PlttsDurg bureau of health was also seen,
and stated that he had report that
I there was no change IL the condition of
the qEarintined people and no signs of
any disease. Superintendent Baker left
Tor Shaner station at 1920 o'clock TO
look after the quarantined immigrants,
and took with him an immense amount
of disinfectants
Superintendent Patton, of the Balti-
more and Ohio, to whose energetic course
and prompt action are due all of the pre-
cautions taken, said that his report from
Shaner was of kind to allay all fear of
cholera He was very emphatic in his
statement that he did not believe that
there was any cholera in the party quar-
antined there.
DR., f. >. Duke, secretary of the board
of health of Cumberland, Md, has tele-
graphed the marine hospital service in
regard to a supposed case of Asiatic chol-
era discovered on tramp arriving there IL
the person of John Peter Walther, i'm
migrant from Bavaria, who sailed
. from Bremen recently.
The surgeon general has called for full
particulars. There have been no cases of
| cholera reported from Bavaria to the
marine hospital service. and the
| surgeon general is inclined TO
regard the case as one of
the many isolated cases resembling
cholera, which occur from time to time
Had it been true cholera it was extremely
