Shut Out the Cholera.
The violent outbreak of cholera at
Havre and Hamburg, two European
ports from which steamers ply directly
to our Atlantic seaports, renders it nec-
essary that the health authorities. na-
tional, state and municipal. should act
promptly and in concert to prevent the
importation of the deadly epidemic.
Fortunately the Marine Hospital De-
partment at “’ashington has notified
all municipal Health Boardsof the situ-
ation and the. latter are taking prompt
measures to exclude the disease.
While the danger of the importation
.of Asiatic cholera is not great at this
.late season of the year, it is best to err
«on the side of safety. The quarantine
against the infected ports should
amount to 9. blockade if necessary. We
are not suffering for lack of Russian or
other foreign emigrants at present,ancl
we certainly do not want them now or
hereafter if we must admit cholera
along with them.
Fountain of Disorder.
The fountain of industrial disorder in
this country may be readily ”found by
scanning the immigration statistics of
the last few years. Here is the record
of the flood-tide of Huns, Poles and
Italians for three years :

It is the pauper and criminal labor of
Europe that is now disturbing the land,
.and it is the employers of the country
who have invited it here. Pauper la»
ibor has infused into our industry the
most lawless and dangerous elements.
The influx of this largely ignorant,
vicious and lawless labor element to the
appalling extent of 471,193 in three
years, presents a grave problem for our
:statesmanship as well as for our Ameri-
can industries, and while there is free
:trcde in pauper and criminal labor,
there can be no adequate protection by
law, to legitimate American working-
men.
Let us strike at the fountain of the
general disorder that now disgraces the
Let us not
only, alike by state and national stat-
utes, sternly prohibit this flood-tide of
death to legitimate labor, but take the
arrest stringent measures to drive every
.Anarchist from the country. This is
‘the. land of liberty and law ; the. land
of peaceful and requited labor ; the
land of homes for all who honestly seek
.‘to possess them, and there is no room
‘for the blatant champions of anarchy.

TheStrike Declared Off.
The switchmen’s strike at Bufi‘alo
was formally declared ofi‘ at 11 o’clock
:last night. In the general conference
held yesterday the leaders of the vari-
ous organizations concerned refused to
consider Mr. Sweeney’s appeal for a
combined strike of the employees on
the leading railroads of the State. The
collapse of the switchmen’s strike was
the immediate consequence.
The public is to be congratulated on
the determination of the more conser-
vative railroad men not to join in the
switchmen’s strike. From the moment
when the strikers and their sympathi-
zers began their series of attacks on
life and property the strike was doomed.
It is impossible for a movement of this
sort to: succeed without popular sup-
port : and when the first car was fired
and the first attempt at train wrecking
made at Buffalo, the grievances of the
strikers became of no account in the
estimation of the community in com-
parison with the imperative necessity
.of stamping out anarchy. arson and
murder with the whole power of the
State. The engineers, firemen, train-
men’ and telegraphers would have made
a. fatal blunder if they had allied them-
selves at this juncture with the forces
.of disorder and lawlessness.
A strong body of soldiers should be
‘Ikept at Buffalo until. the spirit of riot
and assassination is thoroughly quelled
and the reign of law and order fully
trestored, as it is obvious that a danger-
ous conspiracy having for its objects
incendiarism, train wrecking and the
destruction of life, has been at work in
Buffalo. The inhuman attempts to
throw passenger trains from the track
and to destroy scores of innocent lives
have in particular aroused the detesta-
«tion of all decent men and women. The
.soldiers sent to maintain .the law have
shown an admirable courage and pa-
itience. They will be amply justified
in taking severe measures in the sup-
mression of, further violence. It would
be a mistake to show any hesitation in
dealing with men such as these who
have ,conspired to commit wholesale
murder by wrecking trains and have
made brutal assaults upon non-union
switchmen whenever they found them
unguarded.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. Eli—A great
crowd was present in Judge Blaisdell’s
courtroom to attend the preliminary hear-
ing of Miss Lizzie A. Borden on the charge
of killing her father with an ax. Clergy-
men, laymen, physicians and more than 150
ladies who were not directly connected with
the case were on hand. Ex-Congressznan
Davis, (ex-Medical Examiner Dwell, Rev.
B. W. Lyman and Rev. Father Suiguere
were among those present.
There was a craning of necks when Attor-
neys Jennings and Adams entered the
courtroom. Mr. Charles J. Holmes ap-
peared with Miss Emma Borden on his arm.
Following them came Mrs. Brigham, Mrs.
Holmes and the Rev. Mr. Buck. Miss Liz‘
zie Borden came in last with Marshal Hil-
liard. Miss Borden’s face gave evidence of
an extreme strain.
Lizzie and Her Sister.
She was handed to a. seat between her
two legal advisers and near a settee cu
which her sister was seated. The two
women sat elbow to elbow, Miss Lizzie at
her sister’s right hand. Not a word passed
“We are ready to proceed,
your honor, ” said District Attorney Knowl-
ton, and Medical Examiner Dolan was
called to the stand.
The witness testified to the position of
the bodies of the murdered couple when
found and to sending their stomachs to
Professor Wood, of Harvard college, for
analysis. “Mrs. Borden’s body was dressed
as you would expect a housewife to be at
that time of the day. It had an old hand-
kerchief about the neck that was bloody,”
he said.
Surveyor Kiernan then took the stand.
Kiernan submitted plans showing the in-
terior and exterior of the Borden home-
stead, with measurements of the rooms,
description and measurements of the land,
height of fences, location of the barn, etc.
He saw blood spots and located them in the
plans. Five feet four inches above the sofa
there were blood spots on the pictures.
Mr. Jennings cross examined the witness.
The blood spots on the picture were diffi-
cult to find and could be seen only when
the light fell on it from a certain point.
The piece of wood he saw in the marshal’s
office exactly fitted the space where a piece
was cut from the door. W'itness thought
from the appearance of the spot of blood on
the door casing that it was thrown from the
sitting room toward the kitchen. Witness
gave Mr. Jennings a small sketch of the
piece of wood upon which the blood was
seen.
Blood Thrown from the Ax.
“fitness—The spot was on the dining
room side of the door’ casing. I did not
form any theory as to how this blood might
have been thrown from an ax in motion
from the inside of the sitting room. There
were two spots—one three-quarters of an
inch, the other an inch west of the crack.
Did not see any blood stains on the ceiling.
I did not put upon the plan the pile of
boards in the yard near the fence nor the
bay window in the barn.
J ennings—Would it be difficult for a man
to jump the fence from the pile of lumber?
Mr. Knowlton interposed his first objection
on the ground that it was merely a matter
of opinion. The judge sustained the ob-
jection, and Mr. Jennings reformulated his
question, which was again objected to and
the objection sustained. Mr. Knowlton
suggested that the witness go to the house
and measure the ceiling and the boards and
repor llater. There was a slight interrup-
tion while the plans were shown to the
judge.
Lizzie Borden bore an expressicnless
countenance and bit at the edge of a palm
leaf fan, while Emma hid her face behind a.
similar article.
Dr. Dolan was called back to the stand,
and the district attorney asked him to de
scribe the appearance of Mr. Borden’s body
when the cloth was lifted from the dead
man’s face.
How Borden’s Body Looked.
He answered: “It was the most ghastly
thing I ever saw.” Mr. Adams objected to
such a description and the witness went on:
“The first wound commenced at the angle
of his nose on the left side; out the cheek,
lips and chin. The next wound commenced
at the frontal bone over the eye; out the
bone clean in two parts, broke the cheek-
bone and shattered the jawbone. ' '
One of the other cuts showed on the left
side of the face. Almost over the ear was a
crush wound, one and a. half inches wide
and fourinches long, which literally smashed
the skull. Mr. Knowlton asked the doctor
to produce his record of the autopsy, which
he did. Mr. Jennings wanted to know
when the I‘LcOl'd was made, and upon being
told it was made at the examination a few
days after the murder he objected.
Mr. Knowltoz- mid “Put it away, doctor;
put it away.” [ fun obeyed] “Now, doc-
tor, tell us from your memory what you
saw.”
Killed by Shock.
Witness Dolan—There were ten wounds
in all in the face and side of the head, all of
them parallel. Nearly all of them were
deep and cut through to the bone. A week
after the murder I saw all the vital organs
of the body and found no other apparent
cause of death.
Knowlton—What caused Mr. Borden’s
death?
Dolan—He died from shock.
The judge understood what the word
shock meant, as used by the medical profes-
sion. The witness then told a story of the
blood spots found in the room, saying the
side”of Mr. Borden’s head and face were
covered with blood. The shirt was bloody
and the back of his clothes soaked. His
head lay not on the arm of the sofa, but in
the angle. The blood was not clotted, but
fresh and still oozing from the wounds, and
the blood was still warm. This was at
seventeen minutes of 12, when witness ar-
rived at the house. ,
Witness described the various blood spots
at length. There were spots on the ceiling,
pictures, doors and wallpaper. The wounds
were made by a sharp instrument, probably
by an ax or a Hatchet. The blows were
struck at the weakest part of the skull,
where it is not one- twelfth of an inch thick.
Witness said the wounds could be made by
any person of ordinary strength using mod-
erate force. Attorney Adams objected,
but the judge considered the answer a
proper one. 4
Continuing, Dr. Dolan said: “There were

two hours when he saw her. Mrs. Borden
weighed from 210 to 225 pounds. She died
of shock.
Witness saw four axes in the collar of the
house. He examined one with a claw on it,
and found that it had been scraped and

which looked like blood. Witness took
