IMPORTANT RAILROAD MOVE.
An KxteoHlve Southern Railroad System

This is the same syndicate that is behind

Foolish Playing; Lotes Another Game For
the Quicksteps.. Various Notea.
Yesterday afternoon in the presence of
f bout 400 persons, th* Quickstep added
another to their long list of defeats. The
club was singularly unfortunate in yester
day's game. Dorr was put in to pitch and
Pitched a splendid game for three Innings,
Jutin the fourth inning he completely went
to pieces, the skin came off his hands and
the Anthracites lit on to him and earned
three out of five runs they made in the
inning. The next inning he was retired and
Fox put in,the coal crackers hitting him for
but two safe hits. Another was the ex
periment at second base, Wood, the Altoona
)layer; he played a miserable game,
ast and by no means least was "Umpire"
Burt. Such an apology has not been around
lor some time; his decisions were « xecrable.
He seemed to have no judgment as to strikes
and balls, and several other decisions, not
Ahl V nno a* Imm., nl*»« AiA
Cusick behind the bat was splendid,
holding both Dorr and Fox in superb
style. Kienzel proved himself an addition
as his record will show. In eighth inning
the club bid fair to tie the score and
eeeded in earning three runs after two men
were out. Two men were on base and
Kienzel came to the bat. Kienzel had made
a hitevery time he came to the bat before. A
good ball came,he sent on a savage drive to
left field, but it was intercepted by Alcott
after a long run. The playing of McLaugh
lin at short was splendid and at the bat he
did well. The score follows:

deaths occur in London weekly at this
son of the year, which are classified as chol
era, but which are difficult to distinguish
from aggravated diarrhoea. There have
been severa' hundred cases of the latter
disease weekly this Summer, which is iu
cess of the average.
Dispatches received here say the Dumber
of deaths at Cairo yesterday was 311, and
that a British lieutenant and eight soldiers
succumbed to the disease. At Ghizeb there
were 56 deaths, at Chibin 48; at Mehal)a,29,

In the House of Commons this afternoon
Sir Charles Dilke, president of the Local
Government Board, replying to Sir Stafford
Northcote. said that in the last fortnight
there had been three suspicious cases of sick
ness in England which were declared to be
cholera, out it had been ascertained that
they were what is known a6 simple cholera.
There is no Asiatic cholera, he said, in Eng
in Europe. The deaths from simple
cholera in England this year, he stated, had
uot reached the ordiuary average; last week
the number was only half of the u suri
age. Mr. Cross, under secretary for India,
stated that 1,161 deaths from cholera
curred in the Bombay Presidency during the
first week of Juue.
It is officially reported that the total num
ber of deaths from the disease in the British
Army in Egypt to date is 25.
ties here say they know nothing of any
death from cholera In the Docks. Lord Car
lingiord, president of the Council, stated in
the House of Lords this afternoon that the
Government had no intention to enforce
quarantine against shipping arriving at
English ports, as it was th »ught impossible
to establish an absolute quarantine cistern.
He said medical inspection would be adopted
instead.
Mr. Packard, the American consul at
Liverpool, has appointed a doctor to iuspect
passengers and cargoes of vessels bound for
the United States. Mr. Packard has sent to
Washington a detailed dispatch concerning
the shipment to Boston of rags received
from Egypt.
A dispatch from Alexandria says: The
Khedive is suffering from a slight soreness

this ailment of his Majesty had caused

ACTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
Washington, July 27.—Immediately on
the receipt of a telegram from Liverpool to
day, of the departure from that port for Bos
ton, of a steamer having as a part ol its
cargo several bales ol Egyptian rag6, the
Acting Secretary of State telegraphed
Consul at Liverpool to appoint t
tional inspectors of vessels leaving that port
foi the United States. At the Treasury De
partment Secretary Folger was engaged with
Surgeon-Geueral Hamilton, of the Marine
Hospital service, considering the best
to prevent the importât!« u of cholera or
other infectious diseases to this country.

horn the responsibility rested lor
official aetiou in the premises. The law
formerly gave such authority to the Sur
geon General of the Marine Hospital ser
vice. Several years ago it was transferred
to the National Board of Health. The latter
body haviDg had its business curtailed by
Congress, the Secretary finally concluded
that it rested with the Marine Hospital ser
vice, and instructed Surgeon General Ham
ilton to assert his authority until further
notice. The Secretary then indited the fol
lowing letter to the Collector of Customs at
Boston :
"Sir: Because of the expiration of limita
tion of act of June 2, 1879, I conceive that
chapter 66 of April 29, 1878, is again in
force, and the régula' ions by circular, »luted
March 3, 1879, are again promulgated. A
telegram from Liverpool informs me that
the steamer Bavarian sailed on Wednesday
for Boston, having 155 bale» of Egyptian
