There was no special news from the lower ipiaraiitine today. The steanier liohemia is all that re mains of the cholera Meet. Her passenirers, which were removed to Hoffman island, were all reported well this afternoon. Dr. Abbott re ports all well at Swinburne island. The patients are all convalescent. The following steamers are an chored in quarantine having on board steerage passengers: Indi ana and Nevada, from Liverpool. The Massaiia from Naples and the I'olarsis were carefully disinfected yesterday afternoon and are only waiting the action of the govern ment as to whether their passen gers can be landed.

A coroner's jury was impaneled and evidence is now I einy taken as to the cause oi his death. It is t'lai iir.'il by I'ovi II :ih 'II people that Kid, be. or.- the li-bt cmn iiiriK'cd, took some medicine as an autidole for drunkenness, and that was ;he immediate cause of his death Keefe has fought several ba'.b. in Covington and is a hard ' s i J.r.' I he Kid is a "sure tiling gambler and highwayman who has served several sentences in the county jail for robbery and niiniir ollences. Dully was under ifiiKI bonds lor his appearance at the next term of district court for rob bery from the person, committed on Peter Mollitcr of this county last April. Puffy claimed his home at St. Funis. He leaves a wile. Sherilf Wynu about a month ago endeavored to suppress pri.e light ing in Covington ami arrested two principals who were about to enter the ring, but when the case was called in court it was dismissed by County Attorney McAllister. Since then Covington has been more un lawful than ever, but the happening last night will probably end the sport, as the tax payers are becom ing indignant at the amount of use less prosecution necessary lo main tain peace in that place. ShcrilT Wyan tonight brought up from Covington and lodged in jail Jack Keefe, principal; Hilly O lliiimell, second for Keefe; Jack Cahill, assistant second for Hilly the Kid, and a steamboat man kuownjas Paddy, referee. Charles Monroe, second for the Kid, is un der arrest at Sioux City and will not return without a reipiisitiou. Complaint will be lodged against the prisoners as soonns the coro ner's verdict is returned. a i ' 1 1!

A police whistle was blown by one of the women and an ollicer hurried down tbd hill, lie was directed to the locality and alter looking at the bloody (ot Hi, called the patrol wagon. The ollicers with the stretcher !ecoglii.ed the mail as C. P. Miller, mayor o! South Oniah i. The doc tor was at the jail as soon as the wagon with the dying mayor ar rived, and was at once ordered to carry the patient to the Methodist hospital. An examination showed that a la calibre bullet had 'entered the h it side of the forehead near the temple and that the left e e was l)ing down on the cheek, hanging only by a lew shreds of Uesh. Dr. Soiners probed for the bullet and traced its course for a short tam e but could not lind il. In Mayor Miller's pockets were found his watch, cards and docu ments which proved his identity be yond a doubt. The police obtained the information that two women who lived down near the Jones street dump had seen the man raise the weapon to his head and lire but the women could not be found mid diligent inquiry among the resi dents of the quarter where the dy ing man was found did not throw any light on the subject. All the women denied having heard a shot lired. Dr. Somers worked with his pa tient for a couple of hours and when he left the hospital to answer another call he staled that Miller could live but a little while. At ten o'clock the nurses said the mayor was still alive but that he was sink ing rapidly. Mayor Miller was unconscious w hen found and remained in a com atose condition during all the time the doctors were working with him.

An amazingly rich body of ore was struck. He and his Fng lish associates capitalized the mine for $5,(H)u.iaii), ami for a lonjr time the mine shipped MO tons a day of ore that ran from 2uo to 7ik ounces Chased a Bogus Check.

Some of the mayor's friends were so anxious to see him that they objected strongly to the doctor's orders, and talked so loud that (he nurse telephoned for a po lice ollicer who was asked to keep the crowd quiet. There was a rumor that some of the gamblers in the Magic City were responsible lor the shooting and (he idea of suicide was scouted by the mayor's friends.
