eects BE -t THE BOHEMIA. Arrival of Another Plague Stricken Ship at New York. ELEVEN DEATHS AT SEA. All of Them Children—The Captain Re- lates the Story of the Passage and the Agent Considers They Did Fairly Well Con. sidering Every- thing. ship in the port and another story of disease and death on the voyage. Eleven more victims added to the long list of those who have died of cholera between Hamburg and New York. This is the story of the steamship Bohemia, which reached New York Thursday night and anchored in the lower quarantime. Her coming had been dreaded as much as the coming of her sister ship and sister death house, the Scandia. She left Hamburg, that fruit- ful hotbed of the cholera at the time when the pest was at its worst, and her 681 steerage passengers gathered from the infected regions of Germany and Russia were confidently expected to bring cholera with them. The Bohemia sailed from Hamburg Sep- tember 1. The Herald tug, which had been waiting for her inside the hook, drew up alongside as she steamed in, and Capt. Schroeder, of the Bohemia, came to the rail to tell me about her voyage. He was unwilling to say much about the deaths on board until he made his report to the health officer, but he ad- mitted the essential facts of the m fortunes that had befallen the com- pany. “We have had eleven board,” said the captain. ‘’They were all of little children. There is no sick- ness on board at present.” “What did the children die of?” “A diarrhoeal disease.” “Was it cholera?” “IT cannot tell. The last death was five days ago. Nobody has been ill on board since.” “How long after you left port side the first death occurred?” ‘About the fourth day. The children were all very young. The oldest was between 4and 5. They were all in the steerage. No adult passenge have been sick.” Immediately after the Bohemia cast anchor the quarantine tug Crystal Water went alongside and quarantine regulations were established. nce the appearance of the fast passenger steamers she has been carrying emi- grants. This morning Dr. Byron reported that there have been eleven deaths on the vessels and that four persons,twoadults and two children, were Il sick and were removed to the Swinburne island hospital. He reported the condition of the ship as first class. Yesterday the offices of the Ham- burg-American Packet Co. were in a normal condition, but this morning there was a run upon the offices by those who wanted news from the Bohe- mia. Agent Cortis was early at his desk. “I consider,” said he, “the re- port of eleven deaths, all children, from the Bohemia is good news. I question very much if they are genuine cholera eases. The Bohemia left Hamburg on August 31 after the most rigid measures had been taken looking to the pre- vention of a cholera outbreak. Not only was the baggage and steerage dis- infected daily for several days, but each steerage passenger was subjected to a quarantine of eight days before allowed to go on the vessel. There are 682 steerage passengers on the Bohemia. paths on Gov. WAT AD. He Was Attorney- ral in the Confed- crate Government. MontTGomMery, Ala., Sept. Thomas H. Watts, attorney-general of the confederacy from 1 then governor of Alabama until the close of the rebellion, died suddenly at his home here this morning of heart disease. He wason the street Thurs- day apparently in good health. Gov. Watts was born in Butler county January 3, 1819. He graduated from the university of Virginia in 1840 and be- gan practicing law in Greenville the next year. In 1842 he was elected to the legislature and re-elected in 1844 and 1845. In 1847 he removed to Mont- gomery county, and in 1849) wa elected to the legislature and in 1s to the state senate. In 1861 he and W. L. Yancey represented Alabama in the secession convention, and in the same year he went into the field as colonel of the Seventeenth Alabama regiment. In April, 1862, he was called by Jefferson Davis to act as attorney-general, and the next year was elected governor of Alabam: Since the war he had lived in retire- ment. Odd Fellows Gathering. PorTLAND, Ore., Sept. 16.—The main part of the Odd Fellows who are com- ing toattend the sovereign grand lodge convention in this city Monday next, arrived in Spokane yesterday. This afternoon they will reach Tacoma, where they will be entertained fora few hours, after which they will leave for Portland, arriving about 9 p.m. Many business houses and residences have already been draped with bunt- ing and the city presents a gay appear- ance. Attempted Robbery. Sr. J H, Mo., Sept. 16.—A mes- senger for the German-American bank was on his way to the express office with $1,200 at noon today when Thomas King pushed him into a doorway, at the corner of Sixth and Felix streets, before scores of people and attempted to seize the money, which he carried ina sack. The mes- senger drew his revolver and the nian fled, but was soon caught. In Case of an Uprising. WaAsnineton, Sept. 16.—The war de- partment has instructed Gen.

MRs. HARBISON WORSE. jorit A Fatal Endi g May Come at Any Mo- ment. Loon Laker, N. Y., Sept. 16.—This morning Mrs. Harrison’s condition be- came worse and the worst was expect- ed at any moment, all hope being aban- doned The morning examination by the doctors showed an increase of the fluid in the chest cavity and the attend- ant symptoms were so alarming that it was found ne ry to perform another ; market, so famou operation to relieve her sufferings. This alarming turn in the case was almost unexpected, because on Thurs- day Dr. Doughty, the New York special- fst, and Dr. Gardner, the family physi- cian, had made a thorough examina- tion of Mrs. Harrison’s lungs and sub- sequently informed the anxious mem- bers of the family that they had discov- ered no further accumu'ation of fluid in the chest and that the discase had made no progress within the past twenty- four hours, and because Mrs. Harr'son passed a fairly good night. J.R. MeKee, the president's son-in- law, arrived here this morning from Boston by special train from Platts- burg. Turned the Syrians Back Care Cian es, Va., Sept. 16.—Thir- teen Syrian emigrants, holding first class tickets for Suffolk, Va., via Nor- folk, were stopped at Cape Charles by the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad authorities owing to the quar- antine established against New York. Two of the number in broken English elaimed that all had been in Americ two years, having lived at Greenville, S.C. The fact of their having first- elass tickets is regarded as suspicious, for they are as unwashed a lot of Ishmaelities as ever seen. The lot will be returned to New York to-day. National Comunission in Washington. WasixeTon, Sept. 16.—The national sanitary commission composed of Drs. McCormick, of Louisville, Ky., Baker, of Michigan, Watson, of New Hamp- shire, and Price, of Toronto, Can., ar- rived here from Philadelphia, and upon invitation of Surgeon-General Wyman called at the Marine hospital office. where an informal discussion relating to cholera matters took plac Repablicar Day is > Lixcotx, Neb., Sept. 15 3 was republican day in Nebra By arrangement through the state central committee a meeting or rally of some kind was held in every county seat in the state.

I, Sept. 10 }m.—It is rumored that the steamer Seaudia, ‘rom Hambarg, which had anchored at lower Quarautine late last night, was badly stricken with cholera. Pr. Jenkins has not, up to this hour. received any official co ifirma- tien of the report. It is impossible to go down the bay to the Scandia, but if the report is true she must have the disease on board in a very bad Las steerage.
