• CHOLERA WITH US- * Five Deaths in New York From the Asiatic Plague. The New* Spread* Rapidly and a FeelloB of Great Alarm Takes Wssenlou of the People. The Asiatic plague bas obtained a foothold In Now York. Five deaths from tho disease have occurred, the first on Sept, (j and the others on the JO ,h, 11th and 13thSuch was the report made by the health officers Wednesday, after having made thorough Investigations of all the cases. Now that cholera has developed, it lies within each Individual's power to assure his own personal safely almost beyond peradventure. Ho has but to drink no water and milk, except such as have beau thoroughly boiled, and to eat no food that has not been thoroughly and freshly cooked; he will abstain from 'butter and cheese, and may then possess his soul in serenity. Cholera will pass him by. Ever since the Moravia arrived in port, as the harbinger of this dreaded plague. State and local officials have been straining every nerve to prevent its gaining a foothold and being spread by various channels to the country at largo. Tho health officials have been strict, oven to severity; but. while all were looking seaward, and while preparations wore made to repel an advance from across tho water, it lias quietly made its presence felt in our midst and the five mentioned mark its advent. How did it get lu‘,‘ IS tho question on every one’s lips. One of tho doctors formerly belonging to the Board of Health, in speaking of the probability of the spread of cholera, said; “Tho present indications point to an epidemic of cholera which will require the most stringent measures ou the part of the authorities to prevent it from assuming large proportions. The fact that tho history of the cases are so far unknown makes tho danger all tho greater, as the points of distribution of cholera germs may be many. Were those centers of infection known measures might be taken to destroy tho germs and guard against the further spread. THE FIVE VICTIMS, Charles McAvoy was seized with cramps j in the legs on Monday evening, but felt i better in the morning, and went to his ■ work. At 11 o’clock in tho forenoon he ; came home and said ho was sick. He went to bed and had a fresh attack of cramps. The pain extended to the abdomen and kidneys, and violent diarrhea and vomiting followed. Dr. Robert Deshou, of No. 354 West Fifty-sixth street, was called in. Ho diagnosed tho case as Asiatic cholera, and called Dr. H. Robinson, of No. 412 West Fifty-eighth street, in consultation. Ho confirmed the diagnosis. In the evening McAvoy died and the doctors notified the Board of Health. An autopsy was held on MeAvoy’s body and the house was disinfected as a measure of precautionThe result of the autopsy was declared by Dr. Briggs to be “not at all suggestive of Asiatic cholera, while showing tho familiar signs of cholera morbus.” However, some of tho intestinal fluid was taken to sanitary headquarters and an attempt made to raise comma bacilli in it by cultivation in a soil of gelatine and beef soup A fine crop was the result. AVilliam Wigman and his>ife Sophia were an aged couple who lived alone at 761 Eleventh avenue. He was fifty-two and she sixty-three years old. Sho was seized first and died after an illness of several days, it is said. Before she was dead her husband fell ill and died two days later while she lay yet unburied. An autopsy was made upon their bodies nt the reception hospital. Dr. Biggs had barely got through with his examination of the intestinal contents of the two corpses before he was called to the hospital to perform an autopsy on Charlotte Beck. That was early Wednesday morning. It was the discovery of the characteristic signs of the Asia! Ic pest in her bowels that caused the officials to issue a proclamation to the board Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Beck was seized with violent cramps in tho leg and abdomen Tuesday morning. Dr. Vandergally was called in. He diagnosed the case promptly as Asiatic cholera and notified the health board. He saw her at 0:35. At 11 o'clock sho was dead. She died in collapse. The fifth case is said to bo that of Minnie Dovlnger, a child, who died Sept. 11, at No. 411 East Fortieth street. CHOLERA NOTES. A death from cholera occured at Now Brunswick, N. J. There are no more suspected cases of cholera at New York. Cholera is reported to be raging at Vera Cruz. Two new cases of cholera and one death arc reported at Stettin. Coffin makers have agreed to raise the price of coffins on account of the presence of cholera. 5 Herr Hermann, a well-known corre- 1 spondent of the Boersen Courier, of Ber lin, has died lu Hamburg of Asiatic chol - era. The German papers, In discussing the cholera epidemic, note that places situa' ted on mountains are not cholera proof and tho basins of the Rhino and Moselle appear to enjoy absolute immunity from cholera. Tho New Y'ork Board of education will mako special effort to keep tho public schools in a healthy and cleanly condition. The citizens of Toledo, O., are angry

and charging tho treasury departmen with breaking down their cholera quarantine through its refusal to pay for a tug employed in stopping vessels. The Hoboken, N. J., board of health,’to make sure that none of the Infected steamships shall come to Hoboken, have issued orders to the police to allow no ves' sel to land at any of the Hoboken docks without a permit from the local board of health. The tank steamer Heligoland, Captain Donkiago, which arrived at Quarantine Tuesday night from Aitona, on tho Elbe a little below Hamburg, and Is now anchored In tho lower bay, had two deaths on board among her crow, from cholera. Tho Spanish government bas declared quarantine against Now York. Tho official Gazette announces that ail vessels arriving at Spanish ports will be detained Persons arriving at frontier stations from Now York will also bo subjected to quarantine. There is little comfort In the nows of the cholera. Another original case is reported within New Yorkclty; Brooklyn and New Haven have suspected cases, and another shipful of steerage passengers has reached New Y’ork harbor from Hamburg with a report of eleven deaths since sailing, fifteen days ago. POLITICAL. Vermont went Republican by 21,000. •Tames G. Blaine did uut vote at the recent Maine election. Senator Steward, of Nevcda, has declared lu favor of Weaver and the People’s party. Returns from all except two Arkansas counties give Fishback (Dem.), for Governor, nearly 25,000 majority. Tho Slate election commissioners have arranged the ticket and provided for printing ballots to be used in the November election. The Democrats of the First Congressional district of Colorado unanimously endorsed Myron W. Reed, tho People’s party nominee, on the 14th. The big Republican meeting held at Elwood on the 13th was very materially interfered with by an incessant rainfall Gov. McKinley and Gov. Chase were the principal speakers. A farmer of Monroe county, Tenn., wanted his wife to let him crucify bar for tho sins of the cholera sufferers, but she did not see It In that light and refused, whereupon he became violently insane and had to bo taken into custody. An order of court has been obtained requiring Charles W. Pock, commissioner of statistics of labor, to show why he should not comply with a demand that he exhibit the letters and documents on which his famous tariff report, "Tariff and Wages,” was based. Tho Massachusetts Republican State convention Wednesday nominated for Governor by acclamation William HHaile, of Springfield. Roger W. Olcott was nominated for Lieutenant-Governor, William Olen for Secretary of State, Albert E. Pillsbury Attorney-General, John W. Kimball Auditor and George A. Mardon for Treasurer and Receiver-General. Returns of recent Vermont elections have now been received from the entire State. Fuller (Rep.) for Governor has 31),190, Smalley (Dem.) 19,526, Allen (Pro.) 1,650; Fuller's plurality 19,684 and majority 18,014. Compared with 1883, this is a Republican loss of 9,332, a Democratic loss of one vote, and a Prohibition gain of 278, Kansas Democrats who opposed tho in Aorsement by the Democrats of tho People’s party State ticket have called a convention to meet in Topeka Oct. 7th. In the call they say; “By the action of tho convention vou are not only deprived of tho opportunity of directly expressing your appreciation of the wisdom, distinguished services and unexcelled patriotism of the worthy successor of Jefferson and Tilden, Grover Cleveland, but an attempt was also made to deliver you to a hostile political organization, which, if successful, would destroy our party hi tho Slate and bring disgrace and ruin to the interests of the people. While wo acquiesce lu the action of the convention with refer once to the electoral ticket, wo protest against its action as to the State ticket as unprecedented and revolutionary. No Democrat is hound thereby.” The Lunge of a Plant. Globe-Democrat, Oue of the prettiest microscopical studies is the examination of the lungs of a plant. Most people do not know a plant has lungs, but it has, and its lungs are in its leaves. Examined through a high-power microscope, every leaf will show thousands upon thousands of openings, infinitely small, of course, but each provided with lips which, m many species, are continually opening and closing. These openings lead to tiny cavities in the bodies of the leaf, and by the opening and closing of the cavity air is continually passing in and out, so that the act of prespiration is continually going on. The sap of the plant is thus purified, just as the blood of an animal is cleared of impurities by passing through the lungs, and the average sized tree will, therefore, in the course of a day, do as much breathing as a man. There is, perhaps, no more curious place on the Pacific seaboard than Iqnique, which was bombarded by the Chilean fleet last year. It stands in a region where rain has never been known to fall.
