New York is Greatly Worried Over the PrsseEce of the Cholera. THE DISEASE DREADED The United States, New York State and City Health Officers Taking Strenuous Methods to Prevent the Spread of the Terrible Malady in This Country. The United States, New York State and City medical authorities have been working night and day for the past week or more in and around New York city to prevent the spread of the dread Asiatic cholera, which has already claimed several victims at the Swinburne quarantine station near that city. All suspects are be ing held at the station. The situa tion is serious, as cholera spreads with great rapidity when it gets a foothold in a country. Every possible effort is being made by this government to prevent the inroads of cholera to the United States. With the most rigid quar antine In force In New York, the Federal public health service has strengthened its Inspection abroaa and detailed instructions have been issued to all health officials as to the best means' of facing the menace. As sistant Surgeon General is watching the situation here tor the public health service, keeping n close touch with Surgeon General Wyman and co-operatng with Dr. Doty at quar antine. All vessels arriving In this country are .being thoroughly in spected. At Palermo,,Naples, ar.d other Ital ian ports, cholera Is epidemic. Tun dreds of victims have died from with in one to 24 hours after contract ing the disease. On the steamship sailing from Italy to the United States, the Italian government, try ing Its 'best to co-operate with the American health officials, sena spec . ial health officers to observe any pas sengers who may show signs of cholera. These officers have been of valuable assistance to the American officials. Quite a large ni\nber of shdps have been held in quarantine at' Swinburne and Hoffman islands the past two weeks, no passengers being permitted to enter the por* 01 New York. Cholera has developed among some of the passengers after they have been in quarantine for over a week, which emphaefzes the fact that the strickest sort of guard must be kept on passengers from Italian ports. Dr. Doty said regarding a visit from one of the bacteriological experts of Gen. Walter Wyman's Marine Hospi tal corps at Washington: "The'visit of this expert shows the increased precautionary methods which are being taken by the United States Government all along the coast to prevent Italy's present out break of cholera from entering thiB country. The Government is going Into the (bacteriological side of this threatened cholera Invasion -with un usual care. "The thing In fighting cholera Is to isolate each case as soon as it is suspected, and, secondly, to take care that there is no local infection, like the contamination of the water supply, in the place where the sus pect qases are isolated. That is why I detained all the passengers of the Moltke, although at the time there were no absolute cases of cholera among them. I let the crew take the vessel back to Europe, but refused to allow any of them to come ashore. "Great precautions are also being taken at Italian ports to keep the cholera from leaving them and get ting to this country. The American and Italian governments and the steamship companies themselves are combining to segregate all prospec tive passengers on large floats in Italian harbors for several days be fore the ships actually sail for this country. Preliminary symptoms of illness are carefully watched for. All private stocks of foodstuffs and fluids aretaken away from the passengers and bacteriological examinations inj many cases are made. Cholera, the prime cause of which; is one of the most perplexing ques- j tion3 with which scientists have to deal, originated in the East Indies and was not known to migrate for more than 1,000 years. It did not spread In Europe unti! 1830, when it created terrible ravages The Russians took it from India through couriers ard stage coaches. Cholera is usually ushered in by vomiting and griping pains in the stomach. Death follows in from one to 24 hours. If life is retained longer than this time, the patient may recover. A large percentange of the cases die. Caused by Booze. Charlie Trent, of Durham, N. C, aged 22, and Bennie Blackman, of Florence, S. C, aged IS, both white, were instantly killed in the Coast Line's freight yards at Florence Sat urday night. The two young men, it is supposed were under the influ ence of liquor and had lain down on the track, where they went asleep. Burned to Death. Leo Hunt lost his life in a fire in Battle Creek, Mich., last week, when he stopped to find his wooden leg before he left a burning building. * COUSIN ADMITS BUYING GUN FOR THE FATAL DEED.

It was on July 21, 1S61, just 50 years ago, that Bull Run ,or the first battle of Manassas, was fought. The Confederates, under Johnson, were accredited with a decisive victory ov er the Union forces, under McDowell, the retreat of the Federals leaving practically a clear road to Washing ton for the Confederates, it is said, had they chosen to continue their advance on the Capital. . This was the first real battle of the war, and its result awakened the North for the first, time to a realiza tion of what the secession of the Southern States meant. It was here that "Stonewall" Jackson gained the name which will be associated with his memory for all time. In August, IS62, Manassas was again the scene of a bloody battle. Lee and Pope contended for the mas tery. As in the former battle, the Federals were terribly beaten, the Confederates capturing thousands of prisoners and millions of dollars worth of stores, thousands or. small arms and many cannon . The battle lines in the second battle wee re versed from those of the first battle.

This is the chorus: | "America, all hail to thee; Thanks be to God who made us free, i North South, East, West, hand clasp ed In hand. United we, thy children, stand." Thin lines of veterans of the blue and gray, with halting steps, slowly advanced toward each other and meeting, clasped hands in fraternal greeting at noon on the historic ba tlefield, where fifty years ago they were encaged in the battle of Bull Run, the first great conflict of the war between the States. This, one of the crowning events of the Manassass peace jubilee, was wit nessed by six thousand people, in cluding many prominent persons. * Charges Machinery Monopoly.

PAID BIM WELL GETS SMALL FORTUNE FOR BE ING KIND TO OLD MAN. Exchanged Sleeping Car Berth With Him and Young Man Is Given Twenty Thousand Dollars.. Four years ago William R. O'Neal, a young business man of Bainbridge, Ga., exchanged a lower berth for an upper one with a feeble old gentle man who was journeying to Florida for his health. The Atlanta Constitution says on last Wednesday O'Neal learned that the chance friend had left him a for tune of $20,000, which will be turn ed over to him as soon as he complies j with certain legal formalities. "Aw, come on, come on; I know j you are lying," said O'Neal good nat uredely to the man who informed I him of his good fortune. They were walking up?Peachtree street at the time. "Well, I congratulate you anyway, whether you believe it or not, and you can find out for yourself that the man's son is here looking for you," was the reply. And O'Neal did find out that the statement is correct. J. T. Young, Jr., of Oakland, Cal., reached Atlanta Wednesday on a search for O'Neal. Mr. Young, Sr., having left him a substantial fortune in his will. Mr. Young did not know his address and enlisted the local press in the search. Nr. O'Neal is 26 years old. He reached Atlanta Wednesday after liv ing for some time in Macon. He was born in Bainbridge, and is the son of Mrs. Chloe O'Neal, a widow of that place. "What are you going to do with your fonlune?" Mr. O'Neal was ask ed by one who had visions of a tur key dinner, an automobile, a trip to Europe and a new overcoat. "Do. Well, I hardly know yet defi nitely, but I will invest it and prob ably go to work for myself. That's lot better that working, for someone else," answered the level-headed young chap. * Faked Whole Story. The Atlanta Journal says Thurs day a voice, a nice, trustworthy [ voice, that carried well over the telephone and inspired confidence, announced that it's owner was J. T. Young, Jr., and that J. T. Young, Sr., recently deceased rt Oakland, Cal., had left $20,00 to W. R. O'Neal, of Georgia. The voice ask ed the Atlanta papers to kindly as sist in the search for W. R. O'Neal, The papers kindly did. O'Neal was straightway found?In Atlanta. He expressed his joy and surprise. It is- now darkly hinted that these joy and these surprise were as mytholog ical as the sick old gentleman in Florida. As soon as W. R. O'Neal was found he was arrested for jumping a board bill in LaGrange, also for passing three worthless checks. He is now in jail in LaGrange. At the same time came a telegram, in response to inquiries, from Oak land, Cal., that no J. T. Young, eith er senior, or junior, either dead or ?alive, was known In those parts. The Youngs who did live in Oak land, who had other initials, denied all knowledge of W. R. O'Neal and of the sick old ger.l'.t-man in Florida. Whose the voice was is a mys tery, and there is still a bare possi bility that there is some mistake, and that O'Neal has really become an heir. Until the truth Is certified, it may be well for hopeful travelers to continue the pretty custom of re linquishing their lower berths to sick old gentlemen in Florida. SHOT INTO CROWDED CAR.

DARING ROBBERY THREE THIEVES SHOOT A CLERK AND ROB A STORE. They Seize x Tray Containing Five Thousand Dollars Worth of Dia monds and Escape. Three armed thieves invaded the heart of the Tenderloin at its gay est hour Saturday night in New York, smashed a Sixth avenue jew eler's shop window, shot his clerk dead, seized $5,000 worth of dia mond rings and :got away in a taxi cab, pursued by scores of persons who had witnessed the murder and robbery. A woman, who the police believe was a confederate, entered the store of Jacob Jacoby a few minutes prior to the shooting and asked Mr. Jac oby to test her eyes for glasses. While she engaged him the window glass was smashed and Adolph Stern, a clerk, rushed to the street. An under-sized man with a revolver blocked him at the door. Stern tried to brush past him to get at a man who had poked his hand through the broken window and grasped a tray of diamond rings. The under-sized man shot twice and Stern fell. "My God, I'm shot," he cried. A moment later he was dead. Passers saw the man at the win dow withdraw the tray of rings, tuck it under his coat and dart across the street. He disappeared through the open door of a red touring car. The engine coughed and the machine was gone with half a hundred men pursuing. These the oar soon out distanced, (but not until the first three numbers had been caugjht. They were 537 and constitute the chief clue left for the police. The man who shot Stern ran in the opposite direction, unseen by any one but Mr. Jocoby. The murderer fired a wild shot *t Jacoby, eluded him and escaped. Detectives took up the trail within a few minutes, and armed with de scriptions of the slayer and the auto mobile, are hopeful of capturing the thieves.' LADY'S TRAGIC DEATH.

Just how the accident occurred may never be known. It is the prevailing theory that as the elevator came up the operator opened the door, thinking Mrs. Robertson wished to go to a higher floor; that on finding she wished to go down instead, he start ed his car upward and, as the floor of the rar rose and before the door had closed, Mrs. Robertson, whose hearing was defective, stepped for ward and fell into the shaft, or else that the door did not catch as the car rose and Mrs. Robertson, peering down the shaft, was struck by the car as it descended.
