London, Aug. 215. There is now no
doubt that the cholera has a I Inst en
tered England.
The disease was brought here by the
steamer Gemma, which arrived at
Gruvescnd yesterday Irom Hamburg. It
was reported the steamer was infected,
but the authorities, alter examining the
pnssengcis, allowed them to land.
A few hours after two aliens who
had arrived on the (lemma were taken
sick. They were at once removed to the
hospital at GravesencI, where the doc
tors pronounced their malady cholera.
In spite of everything that was done lor
them they died shortly after they were
adiuited.
This fact has caused considerable
anxiety, hut there is no panicky feeling.
The local government board and the
health authorities of the various English
ports will see to it that a more strict in
spection is made of vessels and passen
gers from the infected ports.
Antwhkp, Aug. 20. The cholera seems
to be at a standstill here. No new cases
have been reported since yesterday morn
ing. Bkki.in, Aug. 20. A most welci me
thunderstorm ha passed over this citv,
and the weather is much cooler. Tin
Vossischc eituiig newspaper asserts
that before Prof. Keiih lift Hamburg
he telegraphed to the sanitary board
that the cholera in that city, dispite
every effort of the authorities to check
it, is increasing. Over 800 cases of the
disease, he says, are recorded, and nearly
300 have proved fatal.
St I'etknsiu'rc,, Aug. 26. The chol
era returns show another upward jump
in the number of new cases reported
Wednesday oou new eases were re

new cases. The death figures also show

Wasiiinc.ton, Aug. 20. The govern
ment officials are very much concerned
ver the possibility of cholera being
brought into the United States from the
ountries where it is now raging. The
officials of the State and treasury de
partments devoted almost the entire day
to discussing the best plan to bepersucd.
Secretary of State Poster speaking on
the matter, said :
"I am very much concerned, in fuct,
alarmed, at the situation. It is not a
time to take any chances, for there is too
much at stake. The other officials, par
ticularly the Surgeon General, realize
that immediate and stringent methods
must be adopted it we want to keep the
dread visitor out, and vou can rest as
sured that everything that can be done
will be done.
Orders have already heen issued to
the ports of entrv to thoroughly examine
every vessel before allowing her to land."
The Consul at Hamburg lias notified
the State Department of the prevalence
of cholera at that place where 120 deaths
occurred in one day. Hamburg is in di

THIRD I'ARTY CONVENTION

Bat Nobody la There, to Bpealt
of, and II Looks as Though the
Nominations Would Not be
Made,
Waynhsville, N. C, Aug. 6. Special
At this hour (2 p. in. I the Third party
convention has not materialized. Long
of Buncombe, and Brown and Yancey of
McDowell seem to constitute the "mass
of the people who are aroused against
the old parties."
A few radicals from the "intelligent"
precincts of this county, spoken of by
Moody, are hero, but they do not look
happy. It looks now as if no nomina
tions could be made. J. P. K.
COUU AND DURHAM.
The Records or Two Nominees
of the Tnlrd Party.
Smkmiy.N. C. Aug. 2.-R. A. Cobb,
Third party candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, is well and most unfavorable
known in this county, where he married
and lived for several years. About the
close of the war he was an impressing
officer and tithe gatherer and inflicted
greit suffering around here. Amongst
others from whom he impressed stores
was Mrs. Micajah Durham, widow of
a soldier who had enlisted ns a substi
tute and was killed in the service, and
mother of the lamented Capt. i'lato Dur
ham. Cobb took from her about a doz
en cows and drove them to Shelbv,
where he kept them for some time aftct
the war.
Capt. Durham did not knowof this un
til Ins return from the surrender, when
he met Cobb on the street and denounced
the latter is a hog thief and gave him a
severe calling.
Dr. L. N. Durham, candidate for Secre
tary of State, has a record for henrtless
ness and penuriousness that is hard to
surpass.
The nomination of these two men has
injured the Third parly in this county .

SENATOR OR AY ON THE PO
LITICAL SI ri'ATHIN.
R publicans Are Fooling Them
selves ir They Expect Any Elec
toral Voles irom the South The
Force Hill.
Ni:w York, Aug. 2. Thestring of the
Republican campaign harp that is
twanged loudest and most constantly is
that which asserts the probability that
the "Solid South" will at last fail ti e
hopes ol the Democracy. Senator George
Gray, of Delaware, who was at the
national Democratic headquarters to
day, took up this point and guve the fol
lowing 'pertinent and timely interview :
"If the republicans are building any
hopes on enrtying Southern electoral
votes for Harrison they simply delude
themselves. The South is ns solid as
ever for Democracy. In my little Sta'.e
of Delaware, for instance, the republicans
will mnkc a vigorous campaign, and the
contest may be close, but we have a
reserve Democratic force which we can
bring forward whenever it is needed.
The same thing is true of Virginia, North
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and all the
Southern States. Whenever a principle
is at slake or a great cause endangered
this reserve force comes to the front and
and leaves no doubt whatever of the re
sult of the election.
Such a principle is at stake in this
campaign. 1 he force hill threatens the
liberty ol the riouthern people, threat
ens to deprive them of the power of
self-government and to turn control of
their elections over to agents of the ad
ministration at Washington. The peo
ple of the South will never permit this
grcnt wrong to be erpctrated if they
can help it. In congressional and local
elections some of them may go to the
new party, but just ns soon as they un
derstand that the Third party is being
used to help retain control of the White
House they will renew their allegiance
to Democratic faith. I have no fear
whatever of Republican gains in the
South." Baltimore Sun.

Ti iTsmiioii.Aug. 24-. Thornton Evans
was arrested on theMonongahela wharf
this morning because he would not stop

over the Central Station hearing, and he
was much amused at the hilarity of the

"He won't quit laughing," was the
charge made by l'oliceman lirennen.and
Evans confirmed the charge by keeping
up a roar. The prisoner finally sobered
down and Magistrate unpp asked :

"Judge, a man told me a story last

Antimigraine
THE NEVER FAILING CORE FOR
HEADACHE
Absolutely Safe, Perfectly
Sure, and Always
Speedy.
Cures Every Variety of Headache
AND NOTHING ELSE.
ANTIMIGRAINE
Has earned for itself the enviable reputa
tion of being the finest, most effective
and reliable article in the market for the
speedy relief and cure of every variety of
that common trouble, headache. The
immense favor which has greeted it from
all quarters proves its true merits and
acceptability to the public. It is some
thing which almost everyone needs, and
those who have once tried it will never
be without.
For its curative powers it does not
depend upon the subtle influences of such
poisonous drugs as
Antlpyrlne, Morphine, Chlo
ral and Cocaine,
since it does not contain an atom of
either of these. It is absolutely free from
injurious chemicals, and can be taken by
young and old without fear of serious
results. It is not a Cathartic, does not
disarrange the stomach, and contains
no noxious or sickening ingredients.
The peculiar advantages of Antimi
graine consist in its being thoroughly
reliable as a cure for any kind of head
ache without respect to cause leaving
no unpleasant or annoying after effects,
as in the case of other so-called "harm
less" remedies. These qualities make it
the most popular and saleable article in
the market, wherever known.
