MORE CHOLERA COMES IN ROOD EFFECT OF THE PRESI DENT'S CIRCULAR. Inimlsratlon Already Checked Steamers Arriving In New York Ordered Into QuarantineOth ers Leave Quarantine. Nkw York, Sept. 3. The steamer Ru. gia, from Hamburg, had twenty three deaths at sea from cholera, and ten cases of sickness from the same disease are now on board. The captain at once notified Health Officer Jenkins and the ship was ordered to the lower bav. She left Hamburg August 23 and touched at Havre. She sailed from there with 28 first and 240 steerage passen gers. She is a twelve day vessel and left before orders were given prohibiting im migration by the company. The Nor mania of the same line has also been or dered to the lower bay to keep company with the Moravia. She, too, has chol era patients aboard. The steamers I.ahn and Gnlia lift quar antine this morning at 8:30 and 9:10 respectively. The City of Rome left her dock at 10 a. 111. Pakis, Sept. 3. President Harrison's circular recommending twenty days' quarantine aguinst all emigrant vessels had an immediate effect on emigrants here. Groups of Italians in transit here last night for the United Statei were stopped and informed that the trans atlantic lines would carry only first and second class passeng rs. The immigrants were placed on a train nnd sent back to Italy at the expense of the French gov ernment. LoxiioN, Sept. 3. President Harrison's circular relative to the quarantining of resales carrying immigrants, finds gen eral approval, and cyen admiration here. There is some feeling of envy also that the American law enables the govern ment to take such prompt and thorough steps to stop the importation of cholera. STEVENSON'S VISIT.

A company of Northern capitalists, from Lynn, Mass., who own 70,000 acres of land in Madison county, in or der to bring the farmers and especially the lumber from that rich forest region nearer a market, have decided to build a 24-inch gauge railroad fiom HotSorings through the cliffs and mountains of that region in a northeasterly direction, 22 miles long, traversing partly through the length and breadth of their possessions. They propose to have the road finished in .893. The surveying of the road is nearly finished. The buildersand engineers have arrived and have been at work with all preliminary and necessary details, and ground will be broken in a few days, tools having arrived to excavate and do all preparatory work at once. The terminus ol this road will be 22 northeast, starting from Hot Springs, thus giving employment to many people all along the contemplated line and being at the same time an excellent feeder to Hot Springs from a region heretofore closed to this place, on account of its in accessibility. The cost of this road when finished will Ik about $150,000. Mr. Kine. the general manager 01 me company that will huild the ronil, has arrived at Hot Springs.

Locke Craig, the young man put out on the eltctoral ticket in the Ninth by the Democrats, shelled the Republican and People's party woods last night in , the court house, and as much of the enemy as was in sight wns completely routed. H. A. Gudger opeucd the meeting by announcing that Lon Wells, the Repub bean candidate, was not present, but Geo. Ii. Boggs, the People's party can didatc, was, and would meet Mr. Craig The speakers would have one hour each, Mr. Craig to speak first, and he to have a 30-minutes reply to Mr. Hogg's speech. In opening Mr. Craig said he had been hoping both Boggs and Wells would be present. As it was, the one great party anil "ne very small one were represented, The sjieaker went at once into the dis. cussion of financial questions. "There is today," he said, "more money in the country than there ever wns, yit there is also more poverty. Whose is the tault t It is the fault ot the lawmakers. Why, here in North Carolina, where we nave Democratic rule, taxes have been going down until it is now 70 cents on the $100 worth of property. And there lias not been an embezzler in this State in thirty years. On the other hand, the Republicans have run up the taxes of the government so high that the people can not realize tne weight ot the burdens The Republicans tax everything. 1 ne MCKiniey Dili did not protect the factories in Asheville. Two of them shut down after its passage, the Demen's and the furniture factory. But the bill does make monopolies. And one of these monopolies don't want to allow Jack Campbell to run his cigarette macmne. They bought up all the cigarette paper in this countrv nnd Jock had to send to England for his paper. The protective tariff protects tne millionaire and not the poor man. Our wealth has increased, but it has all all gone into the rich man's pocket. 1 acre is a tariii 01 ou per cent, on socks. Who can blame Jerry Simpson tor not wearing tnem .' "The force bill isan iniquitous measure, Have you ever read it ? It isdelusive on its lace, but it is like the jacnass in the lion s skin it's ears will stick out. Such a measure will never be submitted to by the people of this country. 1 call upon the Democrats ol Dixie to stand to gether 111 this great battle for our honor anil our rights. "The politicians were afraid of Grovcr Cleveland; they thought he was too bold, perhaps rash, and they went Chi cago to beat him for the nomination. But the people went there for him, and in November the ocoDle will elect him to the greatest office within their gift." Mr. Craig spoke his lull hour, and his speech brought out frequent and contin ued applause. Mr. Boggs was evidently not at ease when he urose. He said lie used to be a Democrat, and it was a hard struggle to disassociate himself from his old Demo cratic friends. Still, he honored the Democratic party. He agreed with Mr. Craig on the tariff and pension iniquities and the force bill, and in fact came near making a Democratic speech. He com pared the People's pa'ty to a mustard seed small wlien planted, hut soon to grow and overspread thiscountry."Tliis cry of nigger! nigger! nk'ger! he said, "1 am tired of hearing. It's a bugaboo. The Anglo-Saxon race tan and will take care of North Carolina. I am willing to leave the People's party to God and justiet, and we will win sooner or la ter. In closing Mr. Boggs said he would not attempt a set speech, nor would he take up his time, as he saw that nearly all the crowd was the other way." He had spoken thirty minutes. In his rejoinder Mr. Craig said Mr. Hoggs was mistaken about "nearly all" the crowd all the crowd was "the other w;ay." He said he believed Mr. Boggs did not know who he (Boggs) was go ing to vote for. A few extracts were read from Weaver's speech for Mr. Boggs' benefit. The points were so well made that the crowd was kept yelling continuously. Boggs looked discomfited, and it is predicted that he will be chary about meeting Craig again. The meeting closed shortly after 10 o'clock. The attendance was large. HEADED OFF THE OXEN. Ilraverv Rewarded by the Pre- Mentation of a Medal. A party ol young ladies and gentlemen left the Battery Park yesterday forenoon in a conveyance drawn by six horses. As it would hnppen, an ox team follow ed, and presently, taking fright, rushed toward the carriage containing the party. As it was about to be run into, liarl Sloan jumped out and, confronting the wild oxen with a ladv's umbrella. just succeeded in turning them to one side and preventing a serious collision. nut the incident did not end here. A medal, gold on one side and silver on the other, properly inscribed and of the size of a barrel head was struck of in the Asheville mint and presented to Mr. Sloan lust evening at the Battery Park in me presence 01 tne carnage Dartv. T. R. Ransom made the speech of oresenta- tion, and it was one of the cleverest of the season, though impromptu. Mr. Sloan was too much overcome to renin at length, but acknowledged the gift in a icw worus. Central Epworlh League.
