Nineteen Deaths Reported.

Manila, Sept. 21.-Fifty-eight new
cases Of cholera and nineteen deaths
are reported for the "a hours ended
at s o'clock Monday morning.
The infected areas in the city and
suburbs are spreading somewhat, but
the health officers are still confident

Governor Gen. Smith has summon
ed a special meeting of the members
of the Philippine Commission to dis
cuss the plague situation and to lay
plans for the campaign now waging
Federal troops are at present
guarding the sources of the city's wa
ter supply to prevent the throwing Of
any infected matter into the water,
and it is probable that the force thus
engaged will be largely reinforced.
The army transport Sheridan,
which has been detained at the mar
Dor quarantine station at Mariyales

cry of two cases Of cholera aboard,
has been completely fumigated and a

WRIGHT WINS CHAMPIONSHIP.
Speeds Through the Air at Ease in
His AerGplane.

.Lemans, France. Sept. 21.-In the
presence Of the officials of the French
Aero Club, of Sarthe, the American
ambassador, Henry White, Gen. Ba-
zaine-Hayter, commander of the 4th
army corps, a large number of French
and foreign experts and wildly
cheering crowd, numbering 10000,
Wilbur Wright, the American aero
naut, this afternoon captured the
worlds record from his brother, Or
vile Wright, with a flight in his pow
erful machine of one hour, 81 min
utes and 5 seconds, covering in that
time an actual distance of 90 kilome-
ters, or the greatest distance covered
by an aeroplane in 1908, and the aero
club prize of $1,000 for the longest
flight over an enclosed ground. The
wind was too high in the morning
at 4 o'clock this afternoon Wright
made three false starts.
Finally at SIS the aviator got
away nicely, sailing majestically up
the field.
After rounding the upper turn Mr..
Wright swept back and began de-
scribing elipses.
On the 18th round Wright rose to
60 feet, after almost skimming the
earth.
In the gathering darkness the aero
plane could no longer be seen at the
farther end of the field and it ap-
peared and disappeared in the gloom
like white phantom. Only the
sound Of the ceaseless churr of the
propellers told the multitude that
Wright was still in the air. Matches
were lighted to keep watch on the
feeting minutes and night had fallen
when at the end Of the SD round
Wright came lightly to the ground.
With mad cheer the crowd rush
ed forward. only being prevented
from hosting the American in tri-
umph on their shoulders by charging
cavalry.

MARSHAL SHOT TO DEATH.
Tragedy Enacted Early Sunday Morn
ing at Barnesville, Ga.

Barnesville, Ga, Sept. 2O.-Night
Marshal Ben Porch, who was shot at
3 O'Clock this morning by Ben Per-
due, a prominent planter, who lives
near here, died at 2 o'clock this af-
ternoon.
The shooting was The sequel to the
arrest Of Perdue by Marshal Porch
1t is alleged that Perdue was drink
ing during the early part of Satur-
day night, and he was arrested and
locked up by Marshal Porch.
After being confined for some hours
Perdue, was released, through the eff
forts Of friends, when, it Is alleged,
he procured a shotgun and opened
fire on Marshal Porch as the latter
passed up Market street about
o'clock Sunday morning.
1t was thought at first that Mar
shal Porch's wounds would not prove
fatal, but he became worse about 12
o'clock, and died two hours later
Perdue fired both barrels of the
gun, one charge passing through one
thigh into the other, and the other
load entering the officers back.
Mayor Cochran heard the officers
cry for help, and went to his assist
ance, carrying him home and procur-
ing medical help.
After shooting the marshal, Per-
due escaped and no trace Of him has
been found, though officers are
searching for him.
Both Perdae and Porch are men,
bers Of old families, and on account
Of this prominence and the circum-
stances Of the tragedy, great excite
ment prevails.

CHOLERA IN ST. PETERSBURG.
Virulent Type Appears-Sufrerers
Live Only Fifteen Minutes.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 20.--St. Pc
tersburg is in the grasp OF the Asiatic
cholera. which already has exceeded
In severity and numbers the vista
| ton Of 1898. The disease is increas-
ing daily at an alarming rate, and
unless the authorities show in the
future much greater degree of abil-
ity to cope with the situation than
they have In the past, there Is every
reason to fear that 1t will get out Of
hand.
The government has threatened to
apply the provision of martial law
and this threat has driven the munic-
ipality authorities to bend their en-
ergies to the campaign Of clearing
the city Of the scourge. The alder
manic council to-day voted a prelim-
mary sum amounting to $780, 900 to
enlarge the hospital space, to pur-
chase and distribute disinfectants,
the supply Of which in st. Petersburg
is well nigh exhausted, and to expe-
dite the interment Of bodies, which
has been notoriously slow. The dead
houses are overcrowded and many
corpses lie unburied.
Under his authority as prefect of
st. Petersburg, Gen. Dracheffsky, on
Saturday, prohibited the sale Of IL
quor throughout the city, including
the government vcdga shops, until
September %, and he has further or
dered that after that date the sale of
liquor shall be suspended at Q p. m.
on Saturday until 10 a. m. Monday.
This action has been taken in order
to diminish alcoholic excesses, which
very materially increase the liability
to cholera infection and the general
spread OF the disease.
Sufferers Die I'm Fifteen Minutes.
The situation, which has always
been serious since the very first. case
was reported, assumes a graver as
pect from the appearance to-day Of
a very virulent type Of the disease, in
two cases Of which death followed
within fifteen minutes Of the first
symptoms.

$5,OOO,OOO FIRE IN PARIS.
Post Office and Telephone Exchange
Totally Destroyed.

Paris, Sept. 21.-Fire broke out
last night in the Central Telephone
Building and spread with such rapid
ity that the telephone employees were
forced, after brief and Intellectual eff
forts TO eXtinguish the flames, to fly
hastily to the streets. The entire
building was soon in flames, and
this together with the post office,
which Is located close to Places des
Victories, was destroyed. The loss is
estimated at $5,000,000, but a much
greater loss is likely to be involved
through the complete Interruptions
Of telephone communication. 1t will
take more than a month to re-estab-
lish the service, and even temporary
installation will require consider
able length of time.
The origin Of the fire, it is be-
lfeved, was due to a short cir
cult. 1t Is asserted also that 1t
may have been of incendiary origin,
but nothing as yet has been found
to prove this. Telephone employees,
when they first discovered the flames,
tried to eXtinguish them, but were
forced to desist on account of the
volumes Of black smoke, and the
pungent fumes from the buring gutta
percha. In short time the flames
enwrapped the entire five stories and
were bursting through the roof, leap
ing skyward like a blast furnace.
Sunday was record day in the
history Of the fire department, the
men being out all morning and af-
ternoon for a big fire in a depart
ment store in the Fauberg Saint
Denis. Damage to the extent of
$800,000 was done there.

Finding 1t impractical, owing to the

spective investors who fiocked TO his

called a public meeting in William Rob-

IT know OF one man who put up 500

5000 the next day. He's gone in on a
big scale since then. Charles w. Van
derbeck, an architect, put up SIS about
the middle of July. On this capital he
had already drawn out $50 In profits
and he still has about 800 remaining
to his credit. Another man put up
So, 900 capital and, after Withdrawing
50, 300 In clear profits. he has the orig
inal $1,000 still working in Washburn's
pool.
"Charles Vetter, a wealthy builders;
William Robinson, the real estate man,
and Otto Goldman, the druggist, are
among those who have invested and
come out away ahead of the game. 1t
would be hard to estimate the amount
of money paid over to Washburn dur
ing the past four months, but it must
be away up in the thousands"

Mrs. Anna Bradley, who has been a
patient in St. James's Hospital several
months, left the institution late yes
terday entirely cured of a malady
which, had it not been for the sacrifice
of her husband, who permitted over a
pint Of blood to be drawn from. his
veins and infused into his wife's sys-
tenn, would have been fatal.
Patrick Bradley called at the IS
pitaI and took his wife to their home
in Hackettstown. The doctors said a
change of surroundings would do her
good, and as Mrs. Bradley is still weak
as a result of her dangerous sickness
of the past three months, the family
physician in Hackettstown will attend
her until she is stronger.
Physicians say this is n of the
most remarkable cases of TRANSMISSION
