CARTRIDGE FOR HAMMER;
RIGHT ARM BLOWN AWAY

Huntsville, August 26.-(Special )-John
Byrd of Poplar Ridge has for 10 years
had an old -Jorgensen rifle cartridge
that he used about the house as a light
hammer. A day or two ago, when he
began to drive a tack with the cartridge
it exploded, blew his right hand ehtire'y
of, almost put out his eyes and severely
burned his face. Byrd was alone at the
time and had to walk a mile to get help.
He had presence of mind enough to bind
the stump of his arm tightly with his
suspenders and avoided bleeding to death.

ASIATIC CHOLERA
In ROTTERDAM

Washington August 26.-Snrgeon Cen
eral Wyman of the public health and ma
rine hospital service tonight cabled Sur
geon Robert A. c, Wollenburg, stationed
at Naples to proceed at once to Rotter-
dam. where cholera has appeared, to as
sist American Consul Lisloe in seeing that
the treasury department regulations re-
garding vessels sailing for the United
States are carried out. The greatest pre-
cautions are to be taken to prevent the
introduction of the disease into the United
States.
That the Dutch steamer Andyk is en-
route to the United States with cholera
aboard is inferred from cablegram from
the American consul at Rotterdam re-
ceived by the marine hospital service to-
day through the state deparement. The
cablegram reads:
Cholera Andyk Wednesday, Balti-
more"
This message is interpreted as mean
ing that the "Andyk' sailed yesterday
from Rotterdam for Baltimore with one
or more cases of cholera aboard.
The vessel is a slow steamer, and is not
expected to arrive off Cape Charles until
about September s. In the meantime the
hospital service will take steps to pre-
vent landing until thorough investiga-
ton shall have been made.

Rotterdam, August %-At today's sit

infected with cholera bacillus. An exam
nation of others has not been concluded
Forty-two apparently healthy persons
who have been in contact with those de-
clared infected are now under observa-
ton.
There were no fresh cases reported to-
day The general belief Is that the dis
ease was brought to this port by the
steamer Ellewoutsdyk from st. Peters
burg.
The burgomaster has issued proclama-
tion advising the people to boil their
water and milk but adds that he sees
no reason for anxiety, as the city's water
supply is quite free from bacteria
