Then the health officer said: In a general way 1 will say that the gentlemen who have drawn up and signed this appeal excellent people, no doubt aro entirely mistaken in their assertions. They have not been neglected, wo are not incompetent and tho situation on the Normannia is not all what they declare it to ho. You may sum the whole thing up in a nutshell by saying that these cabin passengers want very much to get ashore and write accordingly.

CIT TR05TED HEN PROVED DISHONEST, Montgomery II. Lewis and W. II. I.ea Russell, liookkeepor and Treasurer of the Lombard Investment Company, Embezzle 8130,000 They Aro Located in Mexico and Will He Hrought Hack. Kansas City, Sept.

12. Montgomery II. Lewis and II. W. Lee Russell, well known socially and until quite recently bookkeeper and treasurer, respectively, of the Lombard Investment company, with handsome offices in the Exchange building, have been indicted by the grand jury of Jackson county, now in session, on something over twenty counts charging embezzlement and forgery.

The amount of money taken from the Lombard company by these men estimated at it may be much greater. Lewis and Russell are now in business in the City of Mexico. Last night William E. Swentzel, second vice president of the Lombard Investment company, scoured from Secretary of State Foster at Washington a telegraphic request upon Minister Ryan, for the temporary apprehension of the fugitives. Extradition papers will follow immediately.

Upon receipt of these papers Lewis and Russell will he turned over to Pinkerton detectives and Special Agent Bowman of the American Surety company who are already on the ground. If all plans do not miscarry the two men will at once be brought back to this city for trial Thus briefly is told the story of the-downfall of two young men. In the case of Russell it will come as a great shock to the community. There are many who will not be surprised to learn that Lewis has gone wrong, lie was a handsome fellow and had a somewhat meteoric social career, mov ing in the front rank of the 400, and was looked upon somewhat as a high roller. His style of living was out of all proportion to lffs salary.

Both were trusted employes and Lewis told the Lombard company a plausible story how he secured the money he so lavishly spent. Many people who knew something of lffs private life, however, doubted the truth of his explanation. Russell was a popular fellow. He has a wife and one child and a white haired old father. The news of lffs misdeeds will be received with sincere regret.

Sympathy in Lewis case will go in greater part to a most charming and estimable young lady of this city to whom he is said to be engaged. Ohio Republicans Open. Woodsdale Park, 0., Sept. 12. The anniversary of Perrys victory on Lake Erie was chosen by the league of Republican clubs to open the presidential campaign in Ohio and the annual mass meeting of the Ohio Republican league was the occasion.

Fort Scott, Sept. 12. John Withers, now on trial here for the murder of a neighbor, attempted to commit suicide in his cell last night by cutting his body in several places, evidently intending to bleed to death, lie also took poison, which he had secured during the trial, probably from some friend. The wounds are all on the arm and one more lash of the tin would have severed the radial artery and proved fatal. Last Honors to Whittier.

Amesbuuy, Mass. Sept. 12. The body of John Greenleaf Whittier was brought from Hampton Falls yesterday morning and taken to the poets former home on Friend street, where it lay in state to-day from 13 until 2 oclock, during which time the public took a last view of all that remains of the honored dead. After the Quaker service this afternoon the body was taken to the cemetery and lowered to its last resting place.

The grave was closed with an arched brick roof. The Czar Hrnves Cholera. St. Petersburg, Sept. 12.

The recent visit of the czar and czarina to the cholera hospitals of this city has evoked an outburst of patriotic eulogy from all classes.

ileiikluti Denies Statements of tho Normsm-ula Iassongcrs Kansas end Missouri Health OllicluU on the Alert. New York, Sept. 12. The Scanff'a is the first vessel to arrive thorough!" infected with cholera. The Moravia, Rugia and Normannia had brought it in their steerage and in the cu.se of Che latter it had worked among the crew.

The Scandia has it from her low to her stern, from her main deck to her keelson. Cabin passengers, crew and emigrants all have it in their midst and she will probably he the hardest cholera importer to fight of the lot. The work of fumigating the Scandia was begun long before daybreak. Dr. Jenkins visited the Scandia this morning and examined every person on board.

Tho task was an arduous one, for her immigrant passengers alone numbered Ml. The Scandia's passengers are for the most part Russian Jews. They all boarded at cheap and dirty lodging houses near the wharfs in Hamburg before they boarded the steamer. All classes were allowed to intermingle during the trip, To-day they were all removed to Hoffman island and there a bath. They will not be returned to the steamer, but will be isolated and their clothing and baggage thoroughly fumigated and disinfected.

The surgeon of the Wyoming has been taken to Swinburne island suffering from diarrhoea and vomiting. 2:30 p. m. the Stonington was the Normannia in the lower bay. At tho office of Lewisohn 81 Fulton street, this morning, W.

II. liain, manager of the firms mining business, said that the negotiations for tho purchase of the Surf hotel on Fire island were completed at noon. The hotel property consists of 120 acres of ground, thirteen cottages and the steamboat liipple. As though the Scandia was not nough for one night, at 3 o'clock this morning Mrs. Person, the mother of the two little children who find died on the Wyoming of a suspicious disease, herself succumbed to the dreaded disease.

She with three more were removed from the Wyoming during the late forenoon yesterday and placed in the hospital. At 0:30 this morning a message received from Swinburne island reported that two bodies and eleven cases of cholera had been removed from the iScandia at that hour. Two deaths have also occurred and farther cases Have been discovered on the island. The crew of the quarantine tug Fletcher, which was ordered this morning to transfer the passengers from the Normannia and Rugia to the relief vessels Stonington and New Hampshire, refused to do duty wiih the tug on tiffs service. Tho preparation of the Sound steamier Stonington and the old battle-ship New Hampshire for the reception of the healthier portion of the quarantined cabin passengers was completed this morning, and the two ships, it is expected, will receive their prisoners to-day.

The local health authorities still keep the No cholera here signal and the Kaiser Wilhelm from Bremen passed Fire island to-day hoisting the flag which denotes All well on board. The new addition to tho cholera fleet has increased tho gravity of the situation at quarantine as the already overtaxed quarantine officers have more than they could well do, but nobody has lost heart and the belief that the scourge will bo driven back is strengthened instead of weakened as 1 of security arises from the fact that every day draws nearer to cold weather and that the city is getting cleaner because all the health fortiii-cations have been erected and because it cannot be denied that cholera lias been besieging the city now for sixteen days, but the health defenders have so far managed to keep the enemy from lauding on the coast. Thus it (is that New York grows more 'confident clay by day. So far as known the choler clays go by and no ease of choki a. is iscovered in New York.

The first poll of tiie vote of the stato by the Populists, places the majority for the fusion electoral ticket at ami for the state ticket at 3.3,000 to 40,000. In tho increased vote for a presidential year the Republicans are conceded a gain of 5,000 over the vote of two years ago and tho Populists claim It was current gossip in political circles this momiug that Major E. N. Morrill would throw himself into the campaign for Smith the latter part of this month and it was further contended that ho would be the leading candidate few the United States senate. Chairman Breidcnthal has yielded to the pressure brought to bear on him by tho People's party state candidates and has promised to move lffs headquarters to Topeka tho latter part oi next week.

Joseph Lowe of Washington, leader of the Democratic revolt against fusion, has written a three-column letter for campaign use, in reply to Judge Martins letter. He assumes the position that Democrats aro not bound by the action of the state convention, and denounces the People's party as more dangerous to the Democracy than any party since the days of Know Nothingism. Ed McKeever, secretary of the Young Mens Republican club of Topeka, has been authoritatively notified that Senator Ingalls will make his first speech of the campaign here about October 1. Unless delayed by the cholera quarantine he will return to Kansas the last week in September. Many Marriages Void.

Wichita, Sept. 12. The parents of Cora Burrton, a 14-year-old girl who was taken out of school some months ago by Chris Kimmcrlo, her fathers hired man, spirited away Newton and there married to her abductor, brought suit to annul the marriage. Tho hearing began here to-day. In examining the marriage license it was found that in the absence of the probate judge of Harvey county the county clerk had issued the license and Judge Reed decided there was therefore no marriage to annul.

The county clerk had made a practice of issuing licenses when the probate judge was away and the discovery that all marriages consummated under his license are null will create consternation in the county.

Do you mean that it is the business of the bteamslup lo furnish disinfectants? I understand it so, but would add that, in view of the importance of the matter, I have myself repeatedly sent disinfectants on board I)r. Warner took enough bichloride of mercury to the Normannia the other day to disinfect a do.en steamers. Isnt that so, It certainly is, said the New Brighton physician, who is a cholera veteran.

I would say, after a thorough visitation and inspection of the Normannia, that tiffs complaint or appeal is absolutely without justification. And how absurd it is for them to pretend that they have not been in communication with a medical expert! continued Dr. Jenkins. Dr. Sanborn, who has been a quarantine official for years, has been aboard Hits Normannia several times a clay, and is now stationed there permanently day and night.

Besides that from the very first full instructions were given to the ship surgeon for any emergencies which might arise. How about the water?

Chicago, Sept. 12 Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning four carloads of immigrants arrived at tho Union depot from Sweden by way of New York and Pittsburg. The train came here with a clean bill of health, but Albertina Larson, 18 years of age, was in a semi-conscious condition. On the way to the house of a friend she relapsed into unconsciousness and Dr. Garrett of the health department sent her to the county hospital.

She died on the way, and the body was taken to the county morgue and placed in a separate room. The clothing was fumigated and deposited with it All sorts of wild stories were set alloat and one of the morning papers issued a sensational extra, but even before it was generally read Sanitary Officer Walter V. Hoyt was busy at his telephone sending assurances in various directions that it, was his positive belief that the woman had not died of cholera. Ho at once gave the cause of death as exhaustion and the statement was later confirmed by Dr. Garrett himself.
