New York. <?<t. ?a case of cholera developed In the steerage of the Hamburg-American liner Moltke, which has been lying at quaran? tine as a possible cholera ? irrler since Mcndaj last. i>r. a. H, Doty, health officer of the port, reported the case tonight, vith additional In? formation, and another cholera pa tlenl from the Moltke la under treat? ment at Swinburne Island, This makes three eases of cholera which have actually reached this port. Today's victim la Giovanni Falcl glla, aged -<i, who came from Naples in the steerage of the Moltke. He la critically ill at Swinburne island, as is the other patient, Rudolph Sel litch, a coal trimmer, who was re garded as a "suspicious case," and was responsible for the Moltke's de? tention. Although he has been ;it Swinburne Island nearly ? week, he is fighting tie disease and was still alive tonight. Palciglla was stricken at noon lo lay after a drunken debauch, which kept the 888 steerage passengers held with him awake until dawn to? day. At the close of his celebration ho became violently 111, and an exam? ination showed his aliment to be an undoubted case of cholera. "The case shows all the features of the Germania case," said Dr. Doty tonight, "and Is undoubtedly of the kind known as 'cholera carrier.' The Moltke left Naples on September 21, and it was about seventeen days later that this man became 111. I shall remove to Hoffman Island all of the steerage and probably a part of the crew."

Lancaster, Oct. 9.?Sheriff Hunter made a hurried trip to Heath Springs today in response to a telegram ad? vising him to "come at once. Have trouble; a negro has insulted lady." On his arrival the sheriff found that the negro in question had been taken to Kershaw County and severely whipped and then ordered to leave the Stat?-. Jt is said that the negro. whose name is Hieb Thompson, about 25 years old, went to the home of a widow in the Heath Springs section last night and knocked at the door The summons was answered by her child, who went hack and reported to Its mother that a man wanted to see her. On the lady's going to the door herself the negro holdly made an Improper proposal to her, where? upon she indignantly ordered him off and shut the door, the negro dis? appearing in the darkness. The lady lost no time in notifying her people of what had happened. They captured the negro and Anally disposed of him as stated, doing so under the impression that. having mads no assault, he could not be punished under the law. Special to The Dally Item. Columbia, Oct. 11.?Some of the papers are remarking on the fact that Mr. E. J. Watson, commissioner of agriculture and commerce, is tak? ing a long time to decide whether pr not he will accept the position offered him by the national government? that of special agent of the depart? ment of commerce and labor in the far east. It is suggested by one or two of the papers that Mr. Watson might end the suspense by saying that he will take the job, and by others that he naturally is not in? clined to give up a position which he practically created and which he has so ably Ailed. South Carolinians seem doomed to wait six weeks or two months hefore hearing the last word in regard to Mr. Watson's ac? ceptance. WANTED?Manager tor six-horse farm. Apply P. O.
