Twenty-one fresh cases of cholera were reported in l'aris yesterday. Tlicrc were ten deaths Irom the disease. IIamiu'kg, S'.'pt. 1. The present chol- cra epidemic is the worst that has O'er visited this city, and everv hour the s t untiou liccoiucs worse. People are dy ing oil' like sheep and the plague is spread ing. St. I'ktdkshiki,, Sept. 1. Official cholera re' urns from all Russia show u gratifying decrease in the ravages of the pestilence. The death rate continues ex cessively high, however, the figures of the last report showing a mortality of slightly over 512 per cent. Washington Sept. I. President liar rison and party and reached Washing ton this morning a lew minutes bclore !) o'clock and were at once driven to the executive mansion. The President's un expected return to the capital was due to his desire to consult with the members ol his oabinrt now in thecity as to what further nunsurcs, if any, should be adopted I iy the government to prevent the introduction of cholera in this coun try. Secretary Charles Poster and At torney General Miller arc the only mem bers of the cabinet now here and the President asked them to meet him at 11 this imm.iug. The President, though not alarmed, tally coinprchemUthcgrnv- y of the situation, and nothing whiclf he general goverhnienl mav properly do to lessen the chances of a cholera inva- ion will be left undone. iftcr an hour's deliberation it was de- ided not to issue a proclamation at this imc. but to issue a special circular in stead, which will advise twenty days uaranune ol vessels or longer detention necessary, to be enforced where it is not in contravention ot state laws. The President will probably return to oon Lake I'riday. Oi'AHANTiMv, N. V., Sept. 1 The tcanicr Moravia was scut to the lower bav, two miles south of Swinburne Is aud this morning, nr.

The steamship Moravia which arrived rom Hamburg Tuesday night with 21! deaths from cholera among her passen gers during the trip, was ordered this morning down to lower quarantine. She iv in Grnvcsend bay last niuht and at daybreak hoisted a yellow llag, warning ill vessels to give her a wide berth. So new cases of the disease have broken out imong her passengers. Ir. Tallinadge, alter working among vessels in upper quarantine this morning visited the Mo ravia. 11c was met by Captain hhielc and the ship's doctor and the three made a tour ol the ship. The women wdio were attacked with the disease on the vcyage here were found to be in a fair way to recover. They arc convalescing in an isolated part ol ship. 1 he Moravia s passengers will receive i bath this alternoon. The steamer will cniaiu below Swinburn Island till the health officers arc certain that all trace ol the plague is removed from her. lr. cnlans, bclore leaving quarantine this morning at the meeting said he was not prepared to sav tooav that the d seasc on the Moravia was true Asiatic holcra. lr. Jenkins added that he was going to have special police appointed to patrol the bay with an order to shoot any one attempting to board any ot the quarantined vessels. This was called ;ortli hy an attempt ot some reporter to board the Moravia yesterday. All the big transatlantic steamships scheduled to arrive up to today have been heard from; the announcement is made bv the Ilcalih officers that these vessels are all il an and their passengers in a healthy condition.

And Then sintiic "Ta rn ra Boom de ay" Around the Victim. Mkmi'IUS, Trim., Aug. 30. Frank Coleman and James Crawford, negro boys, found Willis James, one of their playmates, asleep. They tied his hands and feet, wrapped cotton around his limbs, saturated it with Wosenc nnd touched it off. James, awakened bv the fiames, screamed so lustily lor help that several other negroes were attracted to the spot. Coleman and Crawford were dancing around their victim singinc, "Ta-ra-ra Hoom-dc-av and making no effort to save his life. Before the res cuers could smother the flames fames was so bndlv burned that he will nrob- al lydie. James Crawford escaped, but Coleman was arrested. N. Y. World. Kluif William's Narrow Kscape, BiiKNH, Aug. 30. While King William of Wuitcniburg was ynchting on Lake Constance he had a narrow escape from drowning. The royal party were some distance from shore when a storm arose suddenly and the royal steam yacht was nearly cnpsi.cd. King William kept ins sell control, nnd gave directions about righting the vessel. Then seeing that the crew ot u merchant vessel, wrecked in a gale, were in danger he gave direc tions to go to their assistance. The storm was still raging, but the royal yacht was headed direct for the wreck and the crew rescued. N. Y. Sun. NANCV HANKS AOAIN!

APPROVE IT7 A HombuheU Thrown luto the Democratic Camp. Washington, Aug. 30. A special New York dispatch to the Washington Post this morning says that Labor Commis sioner Peck, of that State, has issued his annual report, and that in it he sustains the claims of the Republicans that the McKinley bill is a beneficent measure. This report, so the special says, is the sensation of the hour in New York, as Peck is a Democrat and was appointed to his present place by Governor Cleve land in 1883. Peck is a Hill follower, however, and is one ol bis closest friends. The fact that there is no law compell ing the Commissioner to issue his report at this time is mentioned in the dispatch and the further statement is made that Senator Hill and lvdward Murphy read the report and passed upon it before it was given to the printer. The dispatch says additionally that Mr. Cleveland's friends are openly charg ine Hill with treachery and that they re gard it as fortunate that he has been un masked this carlv in the campaign. The publication of this item of news here has madethc Republicans in the city jubilant. 1 he beliel is exnressed that reck s ol- ll'cial paper was suggested by Hill, wl o wishes to thrust the tarin into the nncn ground and so work the defeat of Clcvc land. Iiv trading Cleveland for the State ticket, including the lcgUlat-jre, Hill will prove the statement of his friends made at Chicago and Cleveland could not carry the State of New Y'ork and besides secure a United States Sena tor in place of II iseock. This has been quietly suggested for some time, but Peck's report is the first tangible evi lencc that the state machine would sell national ticket. Atlanta ournal. the CtPT, 1CAVI-.H HAS WON.

Haves left here Saturday night after an earnest consultation with Secretary Foster, Commissioner Mas in and others who are in the confidence of the President. The program to lie followed on Septem ber 7 is opposed to fusion with the Third partyites, though' delegates to the Re publican convention are to be given a rcspectlul hearing. Judge William P. liynum is to be urged to accept the gubernatorial nomination, with Hovd as a second choice nnd Pur ches as third. Some of those with whom Iiaves consulted say they regard the Third party men ns "trying to slit) in nt the back door;" as men who want to vote the Republican tickst, but lack the courage of their convictions. Charlotte Observer. KIUICUl.OVS ! The Story Hint Mr. Cleveland AitUed Flower to Heucl Troops. Saranac, Inn., Aug. 30. Go. Flower laughed when a Sun reporter called his attention today to the statement in the Herald that ex-President Cleveland had asked him, through ex-Secretary Whit ney, to send, the troops to Uullalo. the story is rediculous, said the Oov ci nor. "Mr. Cleveland made no such request of me. I did what I conceived to be my duty, and I deserve no special credit foi it. As Governor of the State it was my duty to stop lawleseness and violence. and to defend the property of citizens against rioters. I am glad the trouble is ended, and that the soldiers have been permitted to return lo their homes Their conduct in this emergency was ex emplary and deserving of praise." X. Y Sun. A NLANnKH ON HIM.. lie Had NothlnK lo do With p rck'a Report. Ai.iianv, X. Y., Aug. 30, Labor Com missioner Peck grew indignant today while disussing charges that he acted in the interest of United States Senator David U. Hill in publishing his report. "It is absolutely ialse," said he, "abso lutely. I had no "idea that Senator Hill was in town until 1 read it in the papers. I never said a word to him about the re port, nor did he mention this matter to me. He had no more to do with my giving itlout than you did.

RAN INTO AX OPEN DRAW AT THE HCKNK OF A IOH3IKH FRIGHTFli. ACCIUICXr. Three Men Are Killed and Two Wounded -The Train Wan Run n I nil at Rate of a Mile a Minute The Koulne jumped (lie Gap. Kewiiprc, X. Y., Sept. 1 Thefast mail train on the Hudson railroad met with a disaster at Xewburx drawbridge, the scene of a frightful accident nearly' twenty years ago, at ten minutes past 6 o'clock this morning. The engineer, fireman and mail clerk were killed and two others slightly injured. The draw had been opened to let the little steamer Young America pass through and was being closed when the train came north ward. A gap of several feet remained when the engine reached the draw, going at the rate ol nearly a mile a minute. The engine jumped the gap, but the rear end of the tender dropped enough to stop the progress of the train. Then the mail ear crashed into the tender and pushed it against the locomotive. The rear end of the locomotive and the for ward end ol the mail car were splintered. The engineer, J. Owens, and the fire man, lid ward (lost, were crushed under the forward end of the cab and instantly killed. There were two clerks in the mail car. J. H. Kane of Cohoes was forced upward and landed on top of the debris of the mail car. He was instantly killed and his body shockingly mangled. The other clerk was not injured. After the mail car came two baggage cars. Conductor, Wm. L. Todd, at.d Trainman John Hitchcock were in the forward end of the first baggage car. J. H. O'Neil, a trainman, was in the rear part of the same car. Todd and Hitch cock were thrown against the end of the car. The former was hurt about the head, and bruised about the body, but was able to walk to New Hamburg station, and to send oil dispatches re- garding the accident. Hitchcock had one finger cut; otherwise he escaped in jury. O'Neill was not hurt. HORTIARV MTATI9TIC8. I'lie Deuilis In Four Mouths Tor Five Years Past. Superintendent W. S. Cornell, of River side cemetery, furnishes The Citizen a statement of much interest. It is a re. port showing the aggregate of inter ments in that cemetery during the months of June, July and August, from 1887 to 1892, inclusive, and for Septem ber from 1887 to 1891 inclusive. The number is as follows: WHITES. COL. Junel887 tolS92 50 49 July 1887 to 18S2 58 68 August 1887 to 18U2 aa on September 1887 to 1801 3 3 August of this year saw a heavy death rate in the colored column, a total of 28. Of this number 9 were white and 19 colored. Twelve ol the colored aud 3, whites were paupers; 10 colored and 2 whites were adults. This statement indicates the month of August as one of more than average good health among the white population, but it also shows an unusually heavy mortality among the colored people. It is t-1so notable that the increase of mor tality among the colored people is coin cident with the inception ol the water melon season. According to City Clerk Young's books 33 deaths were reported in Asheville dur ing the month of August. Of this num ber 18 were colored and 15 white. The age of the oldest was 05 years. The causes of death were as follows Consumption of the bowels, 1; asthenia, 1: tuberculosis. 2: consumption, .i; pui monarv trouble. 1: meningitis, 2; typhoid fever. 5: acute dvsenterv. 1: phthisis, 1; cho'cra inlantum. 2; diarrhea, 1; still born, 1; gastritis, 1; indigestion, 1 phthisic, 2; remittent fever, 1; premature birth, 1; convulsions, 1; tonsilitis, l heart failure, 1; other causes, 3. Of the number 13 were natives of Hun combe county, while the remaining 20 were credited to other counties and states, 1 lie physicians iinve not occomc ac - customed to the new order of things, the reporting of births.

Antimigraine THE NEVER FAILING CURE FOR HEADACHE Absolutely Safe, Perfectly Sure, and Always Speedy. Cures Every Variety of Headache AND NOTHING ELSE. ANTIMIGRAINE lias 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 docs not depend upon the subtle influences of such poisonous drugs as Antipvrlne, Morphine, Chlo ral and Cocaine, since it docs 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 Btomach, 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 achewithout respect to cause leaving no unpleasant or annoying after effects, as in the case of other so-called "harm less" remedies. These qnalities make it the most popular and saleable article in the market, wherever known. FOR SALE AT GRANT'S PHARMACY. i IP t, , i A BIG REDUCTION.
