Tho 11 ".roes gained such rapid headway thatescare by the ordinary exits was cut oft, and for a tiino it seemed that Lady Orde and her servants on the upper lloor would perish. One servant woman, frightened by the smoka and lianies, was about to leap from tbe window to tbe street, but the firemen and tho crowd shouted to her not to risk her life, nnd that she would surely be rescued. Lady Orde, who appeared at one of tho windows, showed remarkable courage and restrained her servants as much as possible while preparations were being made for rescue. The firemen hurriedly elevated the tire-escape and iust as a putlofsmoKe shot ont over the heads of the shrieking women the fire-escape was adjusted, and the firemen hastened to assist in their descent. Amid frantic shouts of delight from the crowd Lady Orde and, her servants were brought down in safoty. BrigaiMhtv in Ku-tlnn l'olniirt. Vir.NNA, Jan. 4. The authorities at Warsaw are excited over the spread of brigandage in Bnssian Poland. The province of Kadem, "adjoining Austrian Galicia. has recently been infested by a band of twenty brigands, led by a notorious robber chief named Julian Voyte. They attacked tho residence of a wealthy land-owner named Vetchkrovitch. who had refused to pay them black-mail, slaughtered the live stock found on tho place, and after plundering tho house, sot it on lire. The owner himself succeeded in escaping badly burned. Troops went in pursuit of and captured thn robbers after wounding several. In the cellar of the house a peasant was found whom the robber chief was holding for ransom. Another band of sixteen masked brigands attacked the mansion of Baron Khovok. near Alaxandrovo. about sixty miles WAst of Warsaw. A severe oontlict ensued, the Baron, aided by his servants and by peasanta from the estate, making a brave resistance to the bandits. Several persons were wounded on each side, but the bandits were repulsed. T: ly In Minn Witttoat Food. St. PiCTKitsnuRG, Jan. 4. Ten days aeo a mine on the line of the Lonotz railway was Hooded by the sudden ingress of a largo volume of water. Eight men were supposed to have been drowned in the work ings. To-day a party of miners went down to rescuo tho bodies of their comrades. They searched the main galleries, but found no trace of them. Finally in a steep working that had been abandoned a long titno atfo they almost stumbled over the men, who, it apDtmg, bad mndo for this point when they found escape by means of tno shaft cnt otr. They were still alive, bat had their rescue been delayed for a lew hours more they would have died of starvation. For the entire ten days they had been without a morsel of food, and they were so weuk that they could hardly speak. They were removed to the surface as quickly as possible Medical aid was summoned, and stimulants in a very small quantity were given them, after which they wj-ro allowed a little soup. The physicians state that with extreme care the eight men will probably recover. Probably a Tlald Lie.

IMMIGRATION AND DISEASE

Two Subjects Which Will Soon Wake Up Legislators at the National Capital. Senator Chandler Introduces Another Bill ProTitling for th Total Exclusion of Cer tain Classes of Fereigncrs. Several Congressmen Confidant Stringent Measures Will Soon Bo Adopted. Paper Honey a Breeding PIacb for Tacterla Typhn3 Fever Kacinc at New Ycrk The Arkansas Epidemic Under Investigation. RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION. Measures to that Effect Likely to lie Adopted bj the Present Congress. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. J. Senator Dubois, of Idaho, who is a member of the beuato committee on immigration, and who accompanied the committee upon its recent visit to Florida and Cuba, whither it woit with a view to ascertaining whether, in adopting a bill suspending immigration, it will ho advisable to include immigrants from Cuba as well as European ports, said to-day that a report would be submitted to the Senate within a few days, and that it would take the ground that immigrants from Cuba should not be barred out. "Wo found." said Senator Dubois, "that the quarantino laws of Florida, whose ports receivo most of the immigrants from Cnba. are so nearly perfect and are so well enforced that there is little, if any, danger from any epidemic disease, arising in Europe, especially, reaohing us through Cuban ports. Then tho Cuban sanitary and quarantine ollicera have promised to co-operate with our otlicers in keeping out of our country all infected immigrants.7' "Do you anticipate any immigration legislation before the 4th of March!" "There will bo no legislation upon the subject of immigration per se," replied the Senator, "hut 1 am continent a bill will bocome law which will either suspend immigration for one year, absolutely, or which will authorize or dirrot the President to do so under certain conditions. Upon that point thero is a division of opinion betweeu the irimigraiion committer and of tho two housos of Congress. The Senate believes in an absolute suspension of immigration for one year, while the House committee believes in a bill authorizing or directing the President to suspend immigration for one year at a time under certain conditions, such as the prevalence of cholera in Europe, providing further for the inspection of immigrants by consular ollicers, the fumigation of ships, and so forth. Such a bill will Fass the Senate, and I have no doubt tho louse will pass its bill. Then there will bo a conference, when the difference will bo adjusted. A bill tor tho suspension of immigration will become law before the 4th of March, in the opinion of the Senate committee, and 1 think thisis the view of ull legislators who are taking an interest in the subject. There will be little immigration next year unless tho cholera disappears. Tho reassembling of Congress to-day brought out ample evidence, ot the Interest in the general subject of restriction of immigration, not only on sanitary grounds, but for the protection of American labor. A petition was ollered asking for legislation to prevent the employment of Canadian laborers, who to the number of between two and three hundred thousand cross the border every morning, and, after working all day for American wages, re--turn to their homes at night. Tho protest against ' the employment of this kind of labor, which is said to have increased enormously within a few years, will only add to the agitation for annexation. Interest in immigration wns also shown by the discussion in the Senate of Mr. Uh an filer's effort to secure a special consideration of the two bills on the calendar, one from the committee on epidemic diseases, and the Other from the immigration committee. One of these bills proposes a total suspension of immigration for one year, and the other would give increased powers of quarantine to the federal government. Mr. Chandler strongly urged the importanceof these hills, and heannounced that the President, without waiting for additional authority from Congress, would within a few days anuounco new regulations as to quarantine, which would affect tho whole subject. Thai tho consideration of this subject is comparatively free from F artisan influences was k!owh by Senator larris. of Tennessee, who reported the qtianantine bill, and who declared his perfect agreement with Mr. Chandler. Nevertheless, the anti-option bill interfered with Mr. Chandler's ellorts to-day, although it will be renewed to-morrow. Senator Chandler's New IJ1H. Washington. Jan. 4. Senator Chandler to-day introduced a second bill restrictive of immigration, designed to supplement or supplant the first bill. The features of the new measures are the designation of four now classes of excluded persons; a requirement for a declaration by every immigrant of name, placo of departure, former residence and othor information; the issue of certificates by United States consuls upon voluntary application of immisrants; a requirement of more cubio space for immigrants aboard vessels, and better ventilation, and, lastly, a new naturalization clause requiring sixty days' notice of the application before trial. The excluded classes are additional to those persons excluded by the present law, and are as follows: 1. All persons physically c.ipaMo, nnd over twolvo years of age, who cannot read and writo with n-usouable facility their own lamcuaue; except that an a;ed person not so able to road and writo who is tho parent or grandparent of an admissible immigrant, may accompany or be sent for by such immigrant. J. All persons not provided, in addition to means of reaching their ihial destination, with surilclent money of their ow u, or of the heads of their families, for their comfortable up;ort for two months after Their arrival, tho atnoant to bo required not to exceed 100 for each single person or head of a family, and -5 tor each member of a family accompanying or sent for by such head of u family. :. Persous blind or crippled, or otherwise physically Imperfect, so that they are wholly or partially disabled from labor, unless It i uMirina-. tively and satisfactorily shown, on special inquiry, that such persons are sure of abundant support and not likely to bceouin a public ohartin. 1. Persons belonging to societies which favor or Justify the unlawful and criminal destruction of property or life. Tho section of the bill relating to spaco on shipboard prescribes a minimum airspace on the main deck or the deek next below of 200 feet for each passenger carried (double the present requirement), and on tho second deck of 25') cubio feet, instead of l'JO feet, as at nre;it. No passeugors shall be carried on decks more than live feet below tbe water-line. Berths are required to bo placed for nnd aft. and a large addition is required in the closet accommodations and ventilating tubus. SWARMING WITH UACTKRIA. Soiled 1'nper Money Corrrnl with Germ of Disease Mr. Outhwaite' Remedy. Washington, Jan. 4. Representati'e Outhwaite, of Ohio, has takou up and. iu view of the danger of cholera iiiTaainu, will press vigorously at this session of Congress, a proposition for the frequent exchange of soiled paper money for new notes. An investigation m.i.lo at his suggestion has shown that old greenbacks and bauk-uotes contain tho trcrms of disease to an unusual degree, mid that there is reason for apprehension of them ns a producer of disease. In view of the necessity of the utmost precautions against the spread of cholera in this country next enmmer, Mr. Outhwaite has introduced a bill directing the Secretary of the Treusury to make the necessary regulations to secure the speedy nnd frouueut

redemption of all United States paper car. reney and all national-bank notes which Iihvo become soiled, impure, unclean and otherwise unlit lor use. when presented in sums of not less than S100. and for the preparation and issue of new United htates paper currency in place of such as shall havo been redeemed. Fifty thousand dollars is appropriated, to become immediately available, toeuable the Socretary of the Treasury to carry into etlect the provisions of the act. The subject was first brought to Mr. Oothwaite's attention by Dr. Clark, of Columbus, and shortly afterwards the Hankers' Association of Ohio, to which Mr. Outhwaite wrote about tbe matter, adopted a report in favor of legislation to secure a frequent exchange of notes. Dr. J. C. Graham, bacteriologist of Starling Medical College, was asked to make an investigation, and his partial report disclosed tho fact that old paper money is as full of bacteria as eggs are said to be of meat. Dr. Graham writes that ho made an examination of eight bills. A one-dollar bill of the series of 1STS showed three kinds of bacteria: one oftboseries of lfc&G two kinds; two twodollar bills of the same series, one each and another dollar bill, series of 1SS6. two kinds. The bills were all much worn und very dirty. The culture made of the notes showed that on each of them there were a number of bacteria colonies which might some day, under some circumstances, develop energy enough to attack the human system. The English medical authority, the London Lancet, says: "Two notes were found containing nineteen thousand germs of various kinds. Cultures were made in broth, and these were injected into rats and guinea pigs, most of which

died within twenty-four boms." Mr. Outhwaite. speaking of hisintentionR in the matter, says: "As the introduction of cholera here next summer Is to be feared. wo should take every precaution against the spread of disease. I have, accordingly. introduced a bill, and hope it will become a law immediately. I will urge the bank ing committee to report it. and if it does not do eo, I will nsk the appropriations committee to provide money for the purpose. Aside frcm its possible disease-breed ing character, all persons in the West, and South especially, will welcomo a relief from the old ana dilapidated notes usually in circulation at present." BECOMING SERIOUS. Ten New Cases of Typhns Fever and Four Deaths at New York. New York, Jan. 4. Typhus fever is now undoubtedly epidemic in this city. This morning the health officials discovered twelve new cases, all on the east side of the city, in the more thickly populated district. To-day's cases make the total foot np eighty-three victims since Dec. 1, when the plague first broko out. There were four deaths at North Brothers island during the night and morning, the unfort unates being John Dilsky, Henry Knoedel and D. lirennan, all of whom had been taken from No. 31 Dayard street. Consid erable alarm was created at St, Vincent's Hospital this afternoon, when a case of typhus was discovered among the patients. The victim was John Maher, forty-six years old. of No. 12 Vanck street. He was sent to rsorth lsrothers island. John W. Henry, a newsboy, sixteen years old, an mmato of the newsboys' home, on Dnane street, was also found to bo suffering from the disease, lie was removed to the reception hospital. Kesolutions wero passed at a meeting of the health board to-day. asking the board to grant them $2,0U0 to provide for tho payiinent of additional health inspectors for thirty days, wno shall look lor typhus-fe ver patients among the houses and tene ments. Dr. Itryant. chairman of the sani tary committee, recommended that all mat tings, etc.. in the street cars and elevated road cars be removed. All lodging-house. keepers who havo more beds than their licenses permit were up before tho heilth borad to dav and wore told to remove those that were not absolutely necessary. ' Five new cases of typhus fever were re ported to-night, making a total of eightynine cases since Dec. 1. William Gande, fifty-four years old, walked into the Uolloivuo Hospital to-night sullering from the disease. He was removed to tbe recep tion hospital. William Little, a few min utes later, was brought to the hospital and held as a suspicions case. Three additional cases of typhus fever were reported late to-night, making a totl of ninety-two cases since Dec. 1. Two of the Htitlerers. William Morell. fifty years old. and Percival Carley. twenty-eight years old, were found on lilackwell s island. John Hubbard, tweu-tv-three years old. who was taken from 9 Bowery, is the other sulterer. ' RESE3XIILES CIIOEEKA, The Fplderalo in the Arkansas Penitentiary No Comma Hnctlla Yet Found. Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 4. The death of another convict at tho penitentiary in this city at 5 o'clock this morning and tbe dying condition of one more have again alarmed tho community. Dr. Goddings. of the United States hospital serv ice, arrived at 8 o'clock this morn ing. Ho went at once nnannounced to tho convicts and began investigating. Later he was joined by tho State and city hoards of health, and a cholera bacterio logical examination is now under way. It will require two days to complete it. Dr. Geddings gives it as his opinion, from whit ho has already seen and heard, that a viru lent form of disease resembling cholera has broken out. He ordered tho penitentiary authorities not to allow a convict to leave the building. A drove of hogs were driven from the penitentiary last week to a place of safety in the country, and it is feared there will be an outbreak in their wake as soon as warm woather but in. A young woman living in tho vicinity of the penitentiary was taken ill at 3 o'clock and diod in two hours. Several oi the convicts have died as quickly. Dr. Geddings said that the disease could be kept in its present con lines provided the .anthoritees kept the prisoners in the walls. Dr. Geddings noticed the existence of the dump in the penitentiary, and from his conversation it was inferred that he thought it a dangerous nuisanoe. For instance, if tne disease is pronounced cholera, it would bo possible for convicts to carry infected dirt on their feet. Dr. Geddines expressed surprise that the convicts from within tbe walls were allowed - to work on the streets under the circumstances. Dr. Geddings stated to-night that the result of his exam ination for comma baccilli up to to-night are negative; in other words, he hasdiscovered no indications of cholera whatever. There have been about sixty oases and six teen deaths, all in the penitentiary. Htenmslitp Efne Mtbidizd by Hawaii. Tacoma. Wash.. Jan. 4. W. R.

Acting in prt upon thi asnranej Mr. Simpson, as the representative of a Puget bound steam ship company, agreed to establish a new steamship line, and. to show the Ministry's appreciation of American enterprise, the Legislature, then in session, appropriated a iif ty-thousand dollar monthly snlxsidy. From the Queen, the Ministry and others Mr. Simpson learned that, while many natives favored annexation of tho baudwith Islands to theUnited States.tc was th -policy of the Harrison administration not to take charge of these islands unless preisfd to do so by tho failure of self-government there ami for the purpose of protecting the interests of its citizens.

PROGRESSIVE SCIENCE.

A Painless Operation, Performed In a Sec ond's Time, Cares Uupture Permanently .o Trusses Iscd-A Discovery of One of Our Ovn Physicians. The last quarter of a century undoubtedly marks the greatest era of advancement in the human race. Not only in science, mechanical arts, but in education in every branch. The dissecting knife of truth has been freely used; it has cut wide and deep, and has lopped olT hero and there a treas ured idea or ism, until tbe past is strewn with th e wrecks of former prized and hon estly believed illusions. Who would have believed twenty-five years ago that hernia could be cured? All medical authorities and writers for years have laid down as a fact that hernia was incurable, that a well adjusted truss was the best and only thing to be done for it. and that not more than three to live out of every one hundred cases treated by a surgical operation remained permanent. This small percentage ot cures in comparison with the danger to lite from a surgical operation was too hazardous for careful surgeons to recommend. All these dangers are now overcome, tho truss is thrown away, no knife is used, no blood is drawn, and an operation is now performed so quickly, skillfully and delicately that a baby does not even cry while undergoing it. Meeting Kobert Kemhardt, who resides at 02 Maxwell street, and is en gaged in business at 42 North Illinois street. and from a conversation had with nim, this artiolewas written.

I was recommended to go to Dr. . II. Nott.who made a specialty of ruptnro. His terms, which were N.o Pay Until Cured,' gave me confidence, and on May 9, lbb at the age of eleven months, the little fellow was treated; he took no anesthetic, and so skillfully and delicately was the operation performed that a cry did not escape his lips. His general health began to improve from that day. It is now over seven years siuce he has worn a support of any kind, is attending tho public school, and is as hearty as any boy in the world. 1 here is no question but that Dr. Xott's cure h one of the important discov eries of this century."
