4 A case of cholera developed in the
steerage OF the Hanaburg American lin
er Moltke, which has been laying at
quarantine in New York as a possible
cholera carrier since Monday last. DR..
A. H. Doty, health officer of the port,
reported the case, with additional in
formation that another cholera pa
tient from the Moltke is under treat
ment at Swinburne Island. This makes
three cases of cholera which have ac-
tually reached that port.
Entombed by an explosion in the
Starkville, Colo. mine of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, at least fifty
two men are objects of heroic effort of
rescuers who worked throughout Sun
day trying to penetrate the black
depths of the mine in the hope that
some, or probably all, of the impris-
oned miners might be rescued alive.
The presence of black damp, which
almost invariably follows in the wake
of coal mine explosions, made the
work of the rescuers extremely haz-
ardous and time and again members
of parties were overcome, necessitat-
ing retreating to the open air in order
that their lives could be saved.

nesota has experienced since the

portions. The number of deaths now
| is estimated at from 100 to 200, al
| most entirely among settlers in the
| woods around the towns of Beaudette,
Pitt, Roosevelt and Graceton. Very
few of the settlers are known to have
escaped, and this estimate will like
| ly fall considerably short of the ac-
tual number
