FOUND THE ROST CABIN MINE. The Famous and Long-Sought Storehouse of Treasure Discovered. William S. Dany came Into Deadwood, 8. D., bringing with him several thousand dollars’ worth of gold nuggets and a number of speclments of ore fairly bristling with gold. Dany claims to have found the “Lost Cabin” mine, of which so much that Is romantic has been written and printed In every modern language. His story Is that While hunting In the western part of the Black Hills, he stumbled Into what he at at first supposed was a small cave, but which upon subsequent Investigation proved to be a room 30 by 20 feet, and of an average height of 7 feet, rudely hewn out of solid rock by human bands. This room he first discovered to contain the skeleton of a human being, which, exciting his curiosity, induced a search that was rewarded by finding gold nuggets of an aggregate value of $25,000. The place was many miles from a settlement and he remained a week searching for the mine from which the nuggets came. He claims to have found it, and states the ore be has was taken from it. The fact that Dany has so much, gold with him lends plausibility to the story, which is creating a great deal of excitement and will cause numerous prospecting parties to start out.

CANAL TOLLS IN EFFECT^, No Trouble Reported In Enforcing the President’s Proclamation. The President’s proclamation imposing a retaliatory toll of twenty cents a tjon on Canadian produce passing through St, Mary’s Falls Canal was put Into effect smoothly and without friction, and the Treasury officials have received no advices leading them to anticipate trouble.

Cholera Almost Stops Foreign Travel. As a result of the dread of cholera. Eastern railroad lines are losing a large amount of revenue which is annually paid them by passengers bound for Europe. This source of revenue has been counted on heretofore with as much certainty as Increased travel for any Important occasion. In comparison with former years, European travel has practically ceased.

WHITTIER 18 DYING. His Doctors Bay There Is Little, It Any, Hope of Prolonging Hts Llie. The beloved Quaker poet, John G. Whittier, is dying at Hampton Falls, N. 11. His doctors say there is hardly any hope for his recovery, and think he will live but a few hours longer. The slight Illness which attacked him early last week has developed serious complications. He sank rapidly Sunday, and at night he was so weak that he cannot U9e bis right arm and cannot swallow or articulate except with great difficulty. He Is unable to tuke any nourishment, and this fact, together with the bowel trouble which does not yield to treatment, has caused the gravest apprehensions as to his ability to rally. Mr. W'hlttler has spent the last seven weeks In Hampton Falls and has very often remarked on his improved health and how very much enjoyment he had received from all the pleasant surroundings amid which he had found himself. He has been free from all labors and received but few callers, that ho might derive ail tho benefit possible during his stay. His last extensive literary effort was the poem for the Atlantic to Dr. Holmes, and the last verse he wrote was for the Boston Journal, published on tho birthday .of Dr. Holmes.

CHOLERA HURTS TRADE. General Feeling ol Uneasiness In All Branches us Business. It. G. Dun & Company’s weekly review of trade says: While Industry and business wore Improving dally, and prospects were brighter than ever, the sudden alarm about cholera came to cause some hesitation. It Is even said that buyers from the South who had started for New York turned back because they were afraid of detention by quarantine there. There is reason for the utmost precaution against Importation of the disease, which national and city authorities are taking with creditable energy. But there is yet no ground for supposing that the pestilence will obtain a foothold here this season. In all other respects business prospects are better than a year ago, and nearly all accounts showed actual increase In business. Crop prospects are better, money is in greater demand but ample supply everywhere, and industries are producing more than ever before. Fear that exports may be Curtailed by pestilence In Europe, with causes previously strong, has depressed the markets. FUNERAL OF GEORGE W. CURTIS. The Remains of the Late Editor at Rest In New Dorp Cemetery. As simply and unostentatiously as he had lived, George William Curtis was laid at rest Friday In the Moravian Cemetery at New Dorp, S. I.

There were no pallbearers. The laborers lifted the coffin to their shoulders and carried It to the open grave. At Its head stood Mra Curtis, with her children grouped about her. Dr. Chadwick offered a short prayer, a little oarth was thrown on the coffin and tho ceremonies were over. I ~ Ml SUGAR HIGH AND GOING UP. The Cholera Proclamation Sends the Price Above Two Years’ Rocord. Tho circular Issued by President Harrison requiring vessels from Infected cholera ports to remain In quarantine at least twenty days had a pronounced effect on the New York sugar market Nearly all of the raw sugar at this season of the year comes from Hamburg, one of the worst infected choleru ports, and tho quarantining of vessels for twenty days will partially prevent the refiners working. There Is a heavy demand for all grades of sugar by jobbers, who seem to expect still further advances and ara buying ahead. The Spreckols company refused to accept orders except on condition of delay In deliveries, Lizzie Borden Deemed Guilty. At Fall River, Mass, the hearing in the case of Lizzie Borden was closed. Judge Blulsdell said that sympathy should be laid aside, and duty required upon evidence but one thing to be done. Supposing that u man was seen in the chamber of MrS. Borden, the chambor of death, and thut he was In the room of tho father when death came; suppose that a man should tell as many different stories as Lizzie has done. The way would be plain. “I find that she Is probably guilty,” ho said. Lizzie was ordered remanded to the county jail at Taunlon for trial at the November term. Crushed by a Railroad Train. Tho second section of a south-bound train on the Cincinnati Southern, carrying Pittsburg sporting men to Now Orleans, ran over a buggy at the NlcliolaSvllle (Ky.) crossing, killing one child, fatally injuring another, and breaking both legs of the mother, Mrs. J. T. Farra. The traiu stopped only long enough to get tho wrecked carriage out of tho way. Robbed the Postofflce. .During tho temorary absence of Postmaster Tice, the postofflce at Perth Amboy N. J., was entered by thieves who got away with $175 In cash and $1,600 worth of stamps. There Is no clue. Two Thousand Killed.

An attempt, which by the merest chance proved unsuccessful, was made at Kansas City, Mo., to hold up the Missouri Pacific east-bound passenger train. The train was late in leaving the Union depot, and a freight was sent out ahead of it on the passenger train’s time. When they reached Dead Man’s curve, near Lee’s Summit, it was flagged and several masked men approached the engine. When they saw the train was a freight they turned and took to the woods. Officers are scouring the locality for the would-be bandits. No Speeches by Blaine.

The Chicago Schuetzen-Yerein has issued an invitation to the sharpshooters of the world to participate in a great international sharpshooters’ contest in Chicago in connection with the Exposition next year. An interesting exhibit is to come from the Black Hills, S. D., which will display in novel form the minerals found in the Hills. The exhibit when arranged will be in the form of a two story and a half cottage. A huge octopus or devilfish has been captured outside of the Golden Gate, California, by some fishermen. It measured fourteen feet from the end of the body to the end of the longest tentaole, and has eight arms, and, as is usual with the fish, there are over £O3 suckers on the arms. The body is nothing but a huge sack, and is soft and flabby; it Is about two feet long. There are two eyes about an inch in diameter, and a faint resemblance to a beak and mouth. This specimen is one of the best in the country, and will be preserved and sent to Chicago for exhibition at the Exposition.

THE SCOURGE ARRIVES

AN INCOMING STEAMER REPORTS MANY DEATHS. The Officer* 'of the Moravia Declare the Disease to Be Cholerine—Health Inspectors Order the Vessel to Be Rigidly Quarantined. Died on the Way. New York special: The scourge has reached New York. Quarantine officials discovered that the steamship Moravia, from Hamburg, had a great deal of sickness on board and that twenty-two persons had died on the trip over. The ship’s physicians told the health officers that some of thq passongers on the ship were suffering from cholerine, but that it was not genuine Asiatic cholera. An immediate inspection of the passengers was made, and as a result the vessel was ordered to the lower bay. Thirteen of the persons who died on the way over were Polanders. Twenty of them were children. All the dead were buried at sea on the days that they died. As soon as the discovery was made that so many persons had died and that there was a great deal of sickness on board the quarantine offioers refused to permit a person to leave the ship, ordered it to weigh anchor and proceed to the island selected for cholera patients. It was discovered by the officers who made the examination of the steerage passengers that there were three cases of measles on board. The health officials refused to permit anyone to board the vessel or allow anyone to leave. The news of the discovery was brought to quarantine station by the health boat. They Call It “Cholerine.” Dr. Jenkins, the Health Officer, received the report of the officials who boarded the vessel, and gave orders to isolate the steamer completely. He said that from the casual investigation made he thought the disease was, as stated by the ship’s surgeon, cholerine, but that the persons who had died came from the infected provinces of Germany and Russia. As far as he had been informed there was little sickness on the vessel. When she dropped anchor at quarantine he had not time to make a thorough examination of the cause of the deaths and sickness on board, but will do so this afternoon. Some of the passengers on board of the Moravia did not know of the existence of the disease on board. Ship’s Officers Suppressed the Ndws. It is said that when the health officers first boarded the Moravia the ship’s officers told them that there was no sickness onjboard other than the measles, and exhibited a clean bill of health from the health officers at Hamburg. The ship’s officers appeared reticent, and the presence of cholerine or Asiatic cnolera, as it might turn out to be, was not discovered until the officers had nearly completed their examination.

DEATH OF GEO. WM. CURTIS.

On© of the Greatest Writers of the Present Ajre Passes Away. George William Curtis died Wednesday morning at his home in Livingston, Staten Island. He was conscious to the end and suffered no pain. Dr. Frank G. Curtis, his son, was in attendance, and Mrs. and Miss Curtis were present. Mr. Curtis became ill about two months ago, when he began to complain of pains in the abdomen. His.ca c e has been a puzzling one to the physicians. They were of opinion that there was n tendency to dropsy, with other complications, one of which was a cancerous condition of the stomach. A Sketch of Hit* Career. George William Curtis was born in Providence, R. 1., Feb. 24, 1824. The early years of his life wero spent in New York City, where he was clerk in a mercantile house, and in West Roxbury and Concord, Mass., where he worked as a farmer. In 1846 he went to Europe and remained there four years studying and traveling. Returning to Amerit a, he became one of the editorial staff of the New York Tribune and a regular contributor to Putnam’s Monthly. Mr. Curtis was a special partner in the firm publishing the magazine, and when it be amo involved in financial difficulties he sunk his private fortune in an attempt to save the creditors from loss, in which ho finally succeeded. In 1853 he began in Harper’s Monthly the series of papers entitled “The Editor's Easy Chair.” When Harper’s Weekly was dMablished ho became its leading editorial writer, a position he held until recently, when illness compelled him to retire. While engaged in these labors he also attained distinction as an orator and a lecturer. He took a keen interest in politics and was one of the most ardent advocates of civil-ser-vice reform, being chairman of the commission appointed by Gen. Grant to draw up rules for the regulation of the civil-service. Mr. Curtis was several times offered foreign missions but declined them. He was a Republican, but in 1884 supported Mr. Cleveland in preference to Mr. Blaine. Among th 9 books written by Mr. Curtis “Potiphar Papers,” “Prue and I,” “The Howad.it in Syria” and “LotusEating” are the best known. They are compilations of his essays and letters. Mr. Curtis was generally conceded to be one of the most accomplished and graceful writers of his day.

THE PEST-LADEN FLEET

DEATH BUSY AMONG THE PAS- ' SENGERS. Six Die on Sundsy-All Victims to Be Cremated—Confusion and Paulo Sue—oeed Mirth and Gaiety on the Normannla When the News of Quarantine Comes. Frantic lor Liberty. Six deaths from cholera oocurred on the quarantined pest-laden fleet off New York harbor Sunday among the steerage passengers. Whether there had been any deaths among the cabin passengers has not been reported. Confusion and panic reign supreme ofl the Normannia. The 1,000 odd passengers were kept in densest ignorance of the true state of affairs during the entire voyage. Theywere told that the deaths which had occurred were from natural causes. Saturday and early Sunday morning theywere laughing and joking at the mischance which detained them in quarantine and sure of being shortly released.. At noon they learned better. Newspapers and letters were brought on hoard. They discovered that they were prisoners for an indefinite length of time, cheek by jowl with the terrible scourge. The scene that transpired is indescribable. Women were crying and wailing, men were cursing, and all were terroe-stricken. One passenger offered the health officers $2,000 in cash to takehim ashore. Others frantically laid their entire fortunes at the feet of the visitors, and begged that they be allowed to hide in the boat on the returntrip. The health officers were overcome by the pitiable scene, and madehaste to depart. The panic on board the Normannia was somewhat quelled when the steerage passengers and the siek had been removed. The steerage passengers were transferred to Hoffman Island, which had been made ready for them, and the six patients were sent to the hospital pavilions on Swinburne Island. On board the Rugia and Moravia the imprisoned emigrants were given very little knowledge as to what was going on, and they made correspondingly little trouble. But the air of gayety which formerly prevailed on the Moravia, the original pest ship, had departed. Sullenly the emigrants were massed against the sails, watching the pleasant panorama which is ulways unfolding at this busy gateway of the sea, and wondering how long their banishment would last. The crematpry retort on Swinburne Island has been kept at a white heat night and day since the first pest ship, the Moravia, arrived. At midnight Saturday it received its first dead, the three who died d u ri n K the day. The bodies of all who die in quarantine will be cremated, uAipss friends, are prompt in making other, arrangements. It is possible to embalm the bodies in such a way as to kill all cholera germs, and convenienoies for this process are at hand.

The four black hulls of the cholera fleet swung lazily at anchor with the, tide Sunday. Nearest the city was the Rugia. A few hundred yards away lay the Moravia. Alongside it was the Stubbenhuk, and nearest the Jersey shore rode the big express steamer Normannia. When tugs carrying newspaper men approached the latter steamer a curious crowd was seen aft. This was before the passengers had learned of the danger they were in. Lottie Collins, of “Ta-ra-ra, Boom-de-ay” fame, restless and irritated, stood tapping her toe on the polished deck. Beside her was the venerable John R. McPherson, United States Senator from New Jersey; on the other side, A. M. Palmer, the theatrical manager. Clustered around the Senator were a half-dozen soubrettes, gay, careless, flippant, frivolous. Beside them was an Episcopal clergyman—white tie, round collar on, waistcoat buttoned close to the chin, and bluo glasses on nose. One of the reporters hailed Senator McPherson and asked him if he would like to say anything to the country. Bidding the reporter wait a few minutes, he retired to the cabin, reappearing again with the following message: We are here in the lower bay quarantined, with 500 cabin passengers and 500 steerage We have had five deaths on the ship since leaving Hamburg, but none from cholera or anything like It, so the surgeon Informs me. We are much In fear, however, that with 1,500 passengers and crew confined In narrow space In a hot climate disease may show Itself. It would seem to me that it would he Infinitely safer and better If the passengers were allowed to go on shore, not as a remedy for any existing Ills, hut rather as a preventive. I send this short note to correct an impression that we have had cholera on board the Normannia during the trip. Then some one suggested sending telegrams ashore. There was a scramble for the cabin. Pens and ink, paper and pencils were hurriedly used. Not only the first cabin, but the second cabin passengers as w;eli, hastened to send remembrances to their loved ones and assurances that everything was well with them. Fluttering in the air like a wounded bird came the first letter from a fair prisoner. It was a large, square envelope and it fell in the water away back near the stem. One, two, three, and ten more followed —a whirlwind of letters and unsealed notes, twisted, to give them weight for propulsion. The small boat that the tug carried astern was manned by two oarsmen and all that had been thrown overboard were soon safe aboard the tug, and the pilot-house of the tug soon had a large collection of pfennigs, marks and silver quarters thrown to pay for the sending of the missives. The mail was all fumigated and sent to its destination.

Timely Livlce. In view of the threatened cholera invasion the New York Board of Health has issued a circular which, among other things, contains the following recommendations: Don’t eat raw, uncooked articles of any kind, not even milk. Don’t eat or drink to excess. Don’t drink unboiled water. Don’t eat or drink any articles unless they have been thoroughly and recently cooked and boiled, and the more recent and hot'er the better. Don’t eat or handle food with unwashed hands, or receive it from the unwashed hands of others. Don’t use the hands for any purpose when soiled with cholera discharges; thoroughly cleanse them at once. Dcn’t doctor yourself for bowel complain! but go to bed and send for the nearest physician at once. Send for your physician; send to a disp - ' isary of hospital; send to the 3 salth department; send to the neap, t police station, for medical aid.
