The Oyster Season.
Indications point to a big year for
the oyster men. The oysters are re-
ported in an excellent condition and
the crop will be a large one. Last year
thousands of bushels were planted and
this year the early samples of the shell
fish show that they are the best raised
in the waters hereabouts for years.
Bridgeport’s Burgular Caught.
Captain Birmingham, of Bridgeport,
captured Frank Miller, a colored man,
about 27 years old last night in William
Casey’s pawnshop, in that city. Miller
was negotiating the sale of a marble
clock which was stolen yesterday from
City Attorney Howard H. Knapp’s res-
idence.
Miller was locked up at the police
station. His rooms were searched and
a quantity of stolen goods were found.
Among the articles were a number of
pieces of silverware which were stolen
at Worcester a few weeks ago.
It is believed that Miller is one of
the gang of burglars that has been
operating lately throughout New
England.
Was. He Stabbed ?
Tuesday, at a Main street store,
a number of young men were engaged
in fooling with Matt Cowdry,the hunch-
back peddler. For a. time he took' it
all good naturedly. ' Finally he became
enraged at their antics and putting his
hand in his pocket, drew out a knife
and opening it,plunged the blade into
the footl'of one of the party named
Joseph ' Sheehan. The knife cut
through the leather and caused con-
siderable of a wound to Sheehan’s foot.
from which he walks quite lame to-daly.
Cowdry left the store immediate y
after doing the stabbing. It is not be-
lieved that he will be arrested. All
the parties having any knowledge of
the affair are very reticent. and it
was only by the most persistent ques-
tionin that even the above facts were
elicite . Why they wish to keep the
matter quiet 13 not known. The hunch-
back is of a treacherous dispositiOu and
would not hes1tate at anything when

prove of a more serious nature than he
thinks for now. Anyway, it W111 be a

The President is"o'n Deck.
The action of ,President -Harrison
yesterday, when the: serious news
reached him from the New York Quar-
antine station, was "entirely character.
istic of the man. No emergency has
ever yet found him unequal to the re.
sponsibilities of his high ofiice, and in
this crisis he once more demonstrates
himself to be an American President
who knows what a grave exigency re-
quires of him and is able to meet it in a
prompt and business like way.
Instantly upon receiving the cholera
bulletins describing the situation
created by the Moravia’s arrival in New
York Mr. Harrison cut short all poli-
tical consultations, closed his visit to
Mr. Reid and left for Washington to
give personal direction to all the steps
necessary to be taken by the national
Government to protect the country
from the threatened invasion of pes-
tilence.
Cholera at Our Doors.
As was to have been anticipated, in
view of our intimate commercial rela-
tions withthe cholera-infected ports of
Europe, New York is to-day face to
face with a pestilential invader.
The steamship Moravia, which ar-
rived in New York trom Hamburg yes-
terday, brought the infection. On her
voyage" twenty-two of her passengers
died. , It matters not that the majority
of the victims were children and that
the diSease is classed as “c'holerine.”
We know it as genuine cholera. The
Moraviai came from the Worst-infected
port of Europe. She received a motley
drove . of immigrants without proper
inspection and proper safe-guards. For
this the Hamburg-American Peeket
Company is responsible.
The Health authorities have the ves-
sel well quarantined, and with proper
vigilance and precaution the visitation
maybe, for a time, averted. There is,
at the most, no good ground for panic
or alarm. . During the past twenty-five
years cholera epidemics in this country
have been short and in no sense viru-
lent. New York’s improved sanitation
isa splendid defense. The climate is
on our side. The frost has always
checked the disease here, as it checks
yellow fever. We are now within six
weeks of frost. The Health Board
seems to be acting with intelligent
pr‘omptuess, and the duty of every
good citizen is to be calm, and Spare
no pains to allay the apprehensions of
the timid and the unwise.
The Cholera Peril.
The fact that cholera has found a
lodgment in London, with all the pre-
cautions taken to halt its advance, is an
admonition to us that ice advent of the
dread plague to our land is more than
possible. There is no occasion for panic,
but there is occasion for the utmost
vigilance in the enforcement of quaran-
' tine regulations at all our ports.
It would be well for us to be pre-
pared in advance for the coming of
cholera, for it will be little less than a
miracle if we, shall entirely escape it.
The greatest foe to the black scourge
of the Indies is cleanliness—cleanliness
of homes; cleanliness of streets; clean-
liness of person. Every centre of filth
in a town isa breeding pool for cholera,
and the authorities should take the
promptest and most radical measures
to cleanse Norwalk thoroughly.
Fortunately the march of cholera has
been delayed until we are near the
close of the summer season when it al-
ways reaches its greatest sweep of de-
struction ; but there is yet time for a
malady so swift and deadly in its pro-
gress to become epidemic in our midst.
The peril is more than ample to inSpire
us to employ the best sanitary methods
for self preservation; and the first step
to be taken after the strictest quaran-
tine, is universal cleanliness.
When cholera becomes epidemic in
any country fully four-fifths of its vic-
tims, and probably many more, are
made easy prey to the plague by the
prostration of fright.
most enervating. of all causes outside
of actual disease, and it is fright that
gives t0”cholera its most appalling sac-
rifice. As a rule, there is little peril
even from epidemic cholera if there is
no special mental strain and the sys-
tem is toned up by healthy food and
the usual sanitary Observances. Of
course, it is not safe to count confident-
ly on escaping such a deadly 'malady
even with the utmost precautions; but
when the danger must be faced, there
is safety only in scrupulous care and
cool philosophy. .

The action of the coal combine in
again advancing the price of coal is
making the poor anxious and the rich
angry. So far as we can learn neither
the miners nor the railroad employees
have profiited by this " consolidation of
interests. The output has been limited
to 3,000,000 of tons for September, 250.-
000 tons less than the product of last
September’s operations, and we know
that scores of railroad men have been
discharged as .one of the “economies of
operation. ” The Standard Oil company
may have squeezed middlemen, but 'it
never plucked the public, and has im-
proved the quality of its product. The
Standard Oil 'magnat'es have been sav-
agely denounced by corporation-haters,
but in comparison with robbing coal-
barons they are fairy godmothers. The
courts have decided against this unholy
alliance, but the unity of interests'so
successfully established will be main-
tained and continue to fatten at the
public expense. '
Happy at Last.
The eloping couple, Lewis Olmstead
and Miss Eva Brown, an account 08
whose elopement and pursuit was given
in. these columns Tuesday, must have
dallied on’the way, as notwithstanding
the fact that they had' over an hour’s
start, the young lady’s mother and step-
father succeeded in apprehending them
before the officiating clergyman had
pronounced them man and wife, for
weal or woe, etc. We are informed
that, Mrs. Morrell forbade the bans
taking place, claiming that her daugh-
ter was not of- age. ,‘It is stated that
Miss Brown produced proofs to the
cOntrary. and the clergyman refused to
accede to Mrs. Morrell’s demand.
Whereupon, it is further said, Mrs.
Morrell, in language more expressive
than beautiful, told the prospective
groom and his bride what her opinion
was of them, and casting a withering
look on both, left the house, and getting
into the carriage, Was driven home in
no very pleasant frame of mind. We
understand that Mrs. M.’s. principalob-
jection to Olmstead is that he is not
able to support a wife. Nothing defi-
nite is yet known, but it is said that
after the departure of Mrs. 'Morrell,
the minister executed the marital con-
tract Without further delay, and that
Mr. and Mrs. Olmstead are now en‘oy-
ing a wedding tour through “ or]:
State” in a carriage. Their friends
expect them home either to-day or to-
morrow, and'thatl’ere' long all will be
forgiven ; and let us hope that the mar-
riage may be a happy one.

The Fighters’ Carnival.
Three championship prize ring bat-
tles are likely to take place in New Or-
leans in a week for purses and stakes
amounting to nearly eighty-five thous-
and dollars. The rather distinguished
character of the principals has set the
sporting circles of the country on fire,
so that thousands will see the fights. ‘
Of the matches the heavy weight is
It brings to- ,
gether the old pugilist, John L. Sulli- ‘
van, and the younger aspirant for fistic
honors, James J. Corbett. Vanity, it
has been said, impelled the latter to ac-
cept the Champion’s challenge and now
some good judges are of the opinion
that he has a chance of defeating the
only John L.
Sullivan, on the contrary, is confi-
dentthat the battle will still leave him
king. He has honestly trained for the
event, and that for the first time in his
life, so that he is in fair physical cons,
dition. ‘
If Corbett does not turn out to be of
superior and determined pugilist he
will have ample time to regret his fool-
hardiness in meeting Sullivan, but]
' enough is known of the Californian to
make his friends believe that the cham-
pion has a fight onhis hands.

a new Order of the Iron Hall. It won’t}
pay to do it, therefore, don’t, says the"
Philadelphia Times. ‘
The argument presented by Supreme"
Somerby to induce members to revive’
the order, is dishonest on its face. He
says that 60 per cent. of the members
will retire and the other 40 .per cent.§
can profit by the losses of the retiring
members. Don’t! ;
The mingled dishonesty and incomf
petency of the “ Supremes ” of the Iron
Hall prove that no such institution can
again command public confidence ; and
without confidence there can’t be the
semblance of success. Don’t! .
There is only one way for the victims
of the Iron Hall and kindred organize}
tious to protect themselves, and that is
to get out with as little loss as possible;
and no matter who comes with theprop-
osition to revive the order, don’t! ,
All institutions which promise two or
more dollars for one, must be founded
on the theory of cheating somebody,
and they generally result in cheating
all but the high-titled officers who live
in luxury. “To all appeals for member-
