INTERESTING FACTS REPORTED BY CONBUL MASON. U. 8. Consul Mason, at Marseilles, has submitted to the State department an exhaustive and lengthy Teport upon the cholera epidemtc at that place, Gated 19th ultimo. Since the disease first made its appearance, June 26th, he says there have been 1,512 deaths from the disease, But for the return of fugitives the early part of August, Mr. Mason thinks the disease might have been stamped out by the middle of Septemser. “How long it may be pro- longed by the returning of unfortunates cannot be determined. The report says: “Although the fact has not been oMicially announced, it 1s now learned ‘upon authority which seems unquestionable, that the cholera which prevailed In Egypt during’ the summer Of *83 was imported into Marseilles and caused a number of deaths ‘The malady was, however, of a comparatively benign type, and soon Fielded to skilitul treatment. By a and perhaps justifable collusion between, the mayor, ‘two hospital surgeons, and several Sisters oi Charity, Who acted as nurses, the nature of the dis- ‘ease was concealed, and acholera panic, with all ite deplorable effects upon commerce and general bus ness was arrested.” Mr. Mason says that cholera has spread through- out a district within a radius of 100 to 150 miles from Marselles. ‘In many cases the contagion is reserved and spread by the most willful and crimt- nal stupidity, which prompts the thrifty peasants to preserve aiid sell the bedding and clothes of their dead relatives. These, with other large contin- gent, whom no danger or warning can prevent m excessive Indulgence in melons, stale frults and cold di have been in this as tn past epl- | demics mainly fnstrumental in keeping aliveand transmitting the pestilence.” t Referring to vessels from Marseilles, Mr. Mason says: Every vessel 1s able if not to be ine fected, despite every precaution of her and although the most careful inspection may fall to discover any flaw in her uanitary record or present m ‘The vestigation. - CAPT.

Sims on Virginia Politics, HE THINKS THE STATE WANTS TO GO REPUBLICAN, ‘BUY PRARS MAMONR’s UNPOPULARITY WILL HURT THE PARTY'S CHANCES. Col. W. E. Sims, who has been prominent of late 1m Virginia politics as a republican opponent of ‘Mahone, passed through the city to-day and was asked by a Stax reporter for his views on the situs- ‘on, Said the colonel: “Virginia does not want to go democratic; she 1s Teally a republican state, but Dossism has well nigh ruined our party; Mahone, through his in- ternal revenue officers, has sought to nominate his Congretamen, The result, is that where he suc- his nominees will be overwhelmingly de- feaved,and where he tailed he and his men say they ‘will defeat the regular nominees.” “« But how can you get rid of Mahone?” asked the T*Pasliy.” replted Col aims «Cameron, Riddle. berger, Wise, Mayo, Bowen, Lewis, and maby other pany leadets—all ‘readjuster republicans oppose lahone’s Dossism. No one favors it save revenue officials and postmasters Yet all will support Blaine and Logan. Even the straightouts will sacrifice thelr feelings and vote the Mahone electoral ticket, and we all have assurance that with Blaine as pres- Went Mr. Mahone will cease to control Virginia “But Mahone now claims to be a good Blaine man,” said the reporter. “Yes,” replied the Colonel. ‘ joes now, ‘Dut he declared at Chi ae pianos ‘that Blaine’s nomina- ‘tion was his ruin, and although he has since then attempted to pdse as an original Blaine man, I Father think he was a true prophet as to his own downfall, ,We are fghting in Virginia for tree speech, and Mahone stifies all expression of honest opinion. I feel, that as hard as our fate was under Dourbon rule it would be worse under Mahone rule, and Ihave no idea that Mr. Blaine or his friends ‘Will incumber the party with such a load.

C. Pound ‘will do the republicans no harm,” sald a Wisconsin man who arrived here yesterday. Continuing, he said: “Why, Pound has lost what little influence he once had in the state. His career In Congress was neither brilliant nor satistactory to his constitu- ents, and as a result of their disapprobation he was elected to ‘stay at home’ the last time. One of the reasons for this was a. bellef among republicans the was ‘on the make’—that instead of repre- senting the interests of the people he was repre- senting the interests of Thad. C. Pound—and this feeling was 80 ‘against him that, although in his election to the Forty-seventh Congress he re- Seived a majority greater than that atthe preceding election, he was thrown overboard by his party constituents, who nominated and elected another man his successor in the present House, Mr. Price. ‘Oh, no; Pound’s apostacy will not hurt the repub- Ucans; on the contrary quite the reverse. Why, in Addition to the other objectionable tunings about him, he is regarded as ‘a man with a grievance’— you know what a dampening effect that has upon ‘mankind generally—and his ‘grievance’ is not of a kind toexcite sympathy; itis of that kind which Gauses people to wonder at his self-concelt and ‘cheek.’ Congressman Washburn, of Mimnesota, in Town, WHAT HE WANTS.

Views of a Prominent Officer. ‘THE 1083 OF THE TALLAPOOSA NOT DUE TO COLOR BLINDNESS, BUT BAD GEMENT OF THE SCHOON- ER—SUGGESTIONS AS TO DEFECTIVE VISION OF ‘NAVAL OFFICERS, BTC. »_ “Is there any probability that the loss of the Tal- Japoosa will be traced to color blindness on the part of her officers?” asked a Star reporter of a well- ‘known naval officer to-day. “I don’t think there ts the slightest,” was the reply. “Why was the court of inquiry instructed to tn- clude that subject in their investigation of the ac- cident?” queried the reporter. “Well, on general principles, I suppose. You see great deal of attention is belng given to color Diindness now-a-days, and as suspicions were aroused in the minds of some that it might have been an important factor in the late accident, It Was thought advisable naturally to look into the matter to allow nothing to pass which might after- ‘wards appear to have been {mportant.” 3 “But you think when the matter Is investigat 1t will be found that color biindness had nothing to do with ihe collision.” “Yes, I'am pretty sure of It, THE COLLIBION WAS CAUSED BY BAD MANAGEMENT, 5 near as Ian judge from the statements of the officers of both vessels, and I must say it was on the part of the schooner. All the men on the schooner agree that the red ght of the Tallapoosa ‘Was first seen and then the green light. Now, that shows that the Tallapoosa was changing her course and going to the starboard of the Schooner. ‘The latter had the right of way, and 1f she had kept her course there would have been no collision, as the Tallapoosa Would have passed to her starboard. Instead of that, however, the schooner must have Juffed and brought her ‘hed up to the wind, and ‘then she struck’ the Tallupoosi. Everybody, on Doth vessels, agrees to all of the above except as to the luffing. "The captain of the schooner says that ‘the helm wast’t touched. But he must be mis- taken, for if the helt hadn't been put hard down she wouldn't ‘have luffed, and if she hadn't luffed there would have been no collision. But whatever 4s the verdict of the court Iam pretty sure there ‘Will be no color blindness in 1.” “During your long and continued active service in the navy aid ever know color bilndness causing an accident?” asked THE STAR man. “No, I didn’t,” was the reply. “There are men in the service though who are color blind, and an_ac- cident is lable to happen on account of it; but there are not nearly so many casualties which ‘can be at- tributed to tliat cause as is generally supposed. A Man, although color blind, may sometimes be able to distinguish a red trom & green light. Icannot explain it, but there Is SOME MECHANICAL FACULTIES, ‘Which enables him to do it. I know of one such instance. A passenger conductor on one of the Taliroads, after Uwenty-five years’ service, was re- moved from that position for color blindness and placed at clerical work. He felt very sore over it, and maintained that it was unjust, as he was not color bilnd. Asa favor he was examined at the Navy department, and showed one of the worst cases of color biitiduess I ever saw, and yet,do you know that that man could distinguish a red from a reen light ona railroad train every thme. ‘There is no doubt about it, however. No ian ought to be allowed in the navy as an officer who is afflicted ‘With color blindness, and further than that, A NEAR-SIGHTED OFFICER ‘Who hes to wear glasses oucht not to be allowed. A watch officer with glasses on a rainy night 13 at great disadvantage. Shouid drop them in the dark where would he be? as many do, that not taken to prevent the admission into U of color blind cadets,” continued the officer. “You know that several youngsters had to send tn their resignations last year beca'se of color bilndness. ‘They are a great deal stricuer in that respect now than they used to be.” THE LOSS OF THE ONEIDA, “I see it stated,” sald the reporte>, “that the Onglda was lost in'the Chinese seas some twenty years ago on account of the color blindness of the commanding officer, who fs still in the service.” “That's a. mistake, the officer referred to has been gut of the navy forover a year, and the loss of tbe Ohelda was not due to color bimdness, but to (tat the heim.” recautions 2 An Infanvs Death from Neglect. ‘TESTIMONY AT THE CORONER’S INQUEST TO-DAY. A colored servant girl, named Georgiana Cole, about twenty years of age, who was employed by ‘Mr, and Mrs. Oppenheimer, at 618 H street, yester- day morning gave birth to an infant, which was subsequently found dead, as stated in THe Stax last evening. It 1s stated that the girl had recently come from the country, and while her employers were absent at market. She was taken sick. When they returned, abou: 7 o'clock, Mrs. Oppenheimer found that the gir! had not left’ ner room. ‘Think- ing she was ill Sirs. Oppenhelmer entered ‘and saw the girl lying on the floor, with the body of a newly- born babe In a bucket beside her. She carriea the girl upstairs and attended to her, but discovered that the baby was dead. Georgiana was after- wards removed to the Freedinan's hospital, and the body of the Infant was taken tothe seventh pre- cinct station, where Corouer Patterson examined iUand Was of opinion that it had been born alive. ‘THE INQUEST TO-DAY. ‘This morning Dr. Patterson, the coroner, held an inquest at the seventh precinct station over the boy of the Infant. The following jury was sworn: Alfred Connel, F. J. Willicke, Al. Fennell, James Nally, W. J. Work and T. J. Waish. Dr. M. Bruckhelmer testifled that Mrs. heimer called ou him, stating that her servant had been confined, and that he went tothe house and saw the servant, who sald that the child was born in the bath-room about 6 o'clock; she put {tin the water bucket. ‘Mrs. Oppenhelmer also stated to him that she had found the giri groaning and asked her what was the matter, but the girl did not answer. On looking into’ the Dueket she saw the child. Dr. Patterson Sald he saw the girl at the hospital last night, and she seemed to him a very ignorant rl, She'admitted that the child was born alive. She eried, and said she was not in a position to care for it. Mrs. M. Oppenheimer testified to the discovery of the Infant and the condition of the girl as given above. The girl had lived with her about four Months, and Was @ good, honest girl. Dr. J.B. Hartigan testified to making an autopsy on the child and found iva full term colored male child, and the examination showed that it had been born allve and would have lived had it re- celved ordinary attention. ‘There were no marks Of violence upon the body. Witness did not think that a woman not experienced was capapble of at- ‘tending to the child alone. ‘THE VERDICT. ‘The jury returned a verdict that death was caused by neglect on the part of Georgianna Cole, and “further find that the negiect was excusable by reason of her pecuilar and solitary situation.” An Alleged Elopement.
