from the George Washington.

New York, Oct "A new case OF
cholera developed to-day on board the
steamer Moltke which was under quar-
eiglia, aged thirty-six years, an italian
steerage passenger from Naples. This
man was well at the inspection yesterday,
but about noon became violently Ill, and
the meteorological examination showed IL
TO be an ,undoubted case of cholera.
This man had been given his allowance
of beer and wine on board the steamer.
and had managed to obtain from his fell
low passengers a considerable quantity OF
their supply. and became boisterously
drunk, keeping the steamers people In a
constant ferment until o'clock this
morning. To-day at noon he was VIC
lently III, and was later taken to the
hospital.
DR.. Doty says that the first case on this
steamer was coal trimmer, and had no
communication whatever with this pas
senger. and that there is now ship infec-
ton. This case shows all the features OF
the Germania case. and is undoubtedly Of
the kind known as cholera carrier

that this man became Ill. after his de-

steerage passengers and probably a
greater part OF the crew. The Moltke
arrived at quarantine on the night Of
October from Genoa and Naples.
On the following morning when Dr.
Doty boarded the steamer he found Ru-

The steamer George Washington, which
arrived to-day from Bremen. Southamp-

The best bull for the milk farmer

calves to the butcher when two or
three weeks old he should buy the
Holstein or Shorthorn. A male of
either breed, properly fed and bred
to grade COWS of any of the large
milking breeds. will give large calves

Thomas n. Benton Could Not Afford

Henry Clay.

One very warm evening in July,
1881, several members of President
Garfeld's cabinet went from the White
House to the lawn and stood a while
in such a position that they were able
to catch the cooling breeze that came
from the Potomac. There were two or
three friends with them, and all were
in a happier frame of mind than they
had been for some time, for the ply
sicians had reported but short while
before that the president was in a
more comfortable condition than at
any time since he had been shot.
AS they stood thus, enjoying the cool
breeze, Mr.. Blaine, the secretary Of
state, who wore a very thin and some
what frayed alpaca coat and a straw
hat which had certainly seen service
for several summers, turned to his
companions.

Charles C. Ciarke's Delightful Remin-
iscences of the Childhood of David
3. Hill, Former Governor of
New York

In May there died the last of the
original group Of men who were as
sociated intimately with Commodore
Vanderbilt in the building up of his
great railroad system. This was
Charles G. Clarke, who as auditor,
treasurer and first vice-president of
the commOdore's railroad, was his en-
ployer's financial right-hand man for
years. For more than half a century
Mr.. Clarke was a public character,
first as state employee and a banker,
and from 1854 until his retirement, as
a railroad man. In that period he
came to meet most of the big men of
his state, and his recollections of Mil
lard Fillmore and Commodore Van
derbilt were particularly vivid. Yet
what he called the most surprising eX-
perience in his long business life had
nothing to do with either of these
great men of yesterday.
When / was assistant deputy
treasurer of New York state az the
time Willard Fillmore was comp
trOller," said Mr.. Clarke, Il made the
acquaintance of a number of men
engaged in important business under

CAPTURE SMALL GRIST MILL

Rebels and Horses,

Our three years service expired
Aug. 9, 1864, and on the 18th Lieut..
Groves, in command of IA men of Co.
A and IL of Co. B, eth Mo. Cav, left
Pine Bluffs, Ark, at daylight on
secret march of SO miles south to a
grist mill, which Gen. Clayton was
anxious to know whether the rebels
were operating. We were guided by
Columbus Mari, who lived in the
neighorhood of the mill He was loyal
and brave.
About noon we stopped back of
field. where the guides mother. wild
ow, lived, and about three miles from
the mill AS soon as our horses were
rested we started for the mill through
the timber. We had not gone far until
we could hear the throbbing of the en-

80 rods of the mill, when the heuten-
ant concealed the command in
thicket and gave us orders to remain
quiet until his return. He and the
guide left
In about an hour they returned, hay
Ing gone inside the rebel camp to
house which was not more than 200
yards from the mill, occupied by a
Union family. AS our guide was per-
sonally acquainted with the family and
knew he could trust them, he had one
of the girls go to the mill under the
ruse of having some milling done, and
get all the information she could in re-
gard to the location of their camp and
the number of soldiers there, which
she did.
The lieutenant called us around him
and said: Gen. Clayton sent me to
find out whether or not the rebels
were running the mill, which they are.
There are 100 men running and guard
ing it; there are 20 now at the mill
and 80 on a scout between here aaQ

noon. Two miles south of the mill is
their main camp, occupied by 1000
infantry and cavalry, with two sec
tons of artillery. l have fulfilled my
mission. 1t is up to you If we go any
farther"
A tall, lank fellow by the name of
Nichols Strengthened himself up, and
said: Lieutenant we don't want to
use ourselves up like we did today
without getting one shot" "All right"
said she lieutenant; mount your
horses
We were now about 80 rods north
east of the mill, and their camp was
300 southwest. We made a circuit I'M
til we were almost west Of their camp
and about 200 yards from it, when we
halted, and the lieutenant told Sergt.
Smith of Co. B, to take II men OF his
company and charge the camp, and he
would take the IA from Co. A and
charge the mill. and gave me orders
to take those left of Co. A and not
come into the mill yard until all of the
men were in.
The rebels were surprised, and did
not discover our presence until Sergt.

SEEDS INJURED
BY MOISTURE
Varieties Like Blue Grass VIII
Heat Quickly if Not Dried in
Sun or with Artificial
Heat of Some KIND.
CBy CHAs. X. wEATHERsOND


The drying of seeds affects their
germinability to a considerable eX-
tent. Some seed, like blue grass seed,
will quickly heat and spoil II not
thoroughly dried in the sun or with
artificial heat.
Much of the poor blue grass seed
has been made poor by being too
quickly put in large receptacles where
It does not have an opportunity to
thoroughly dry.
Even when piled in the field after
It has been taken from the blue grass
tons it has been known to heat suf-
ficiently to spoil it.
It is unfortunate that when a man
has a lot of blue grass seed that has
been so spoiled that he cannot resist
the temptation to sell it for good seed.
Many other seeds are injuriously af-
fected by too great moisture content.
but few so much as the blue grass
seed. The higher the starch content
OF the seed the more necessary does il
appear to be to keep 1t from damp
ness.
Corn, being high in percentage of
starchy matter, must be kept from
dampness or its germinability will be
destroyed So readily does it heat
under warm. moist conditions that 1t
is regarded as very difficult to send a
cargo OF corn across the equator.
It may be accepted a. a good rule
that all seeds should be kept from
dampness. most of all such seeds as
corn. Just how the dampness affects
the germinability We do not fully
know.
In some cases doubtless the damp
ness with a fair degree of heat starts
the germ TO developing. which later.
when the seed is again dried. is ar
rested and the soft cells harden. and
the germ dies. Corn especially should
be kept from dampness.
When the weather in the fall is
such that the corn fully natures and
the ears dry out before the frost
comes. almost any amount OF cold fails
TO injure it.
Not so the seed that has not thor
oughly dried out. The heavy freezes
destroy the germ life because OF the
