WASUINOTON , January 3. The nationn
Aboard of health has information , commu
micatcd by the atato dupartment , of th
continuance of cholera in Moxandria
Judge Farman , of thu intornatiom
tribumto at Cairo , says : 'There ar
from one to three caaes each cLiyresultiiij
in death , and ninny moro in which thus
attacked recover. " Ho estimates th
number of deaths during thu siimino
from cholera as double that given ii
the official reports. The United State :
consul general nt Cairo reports tin
oQicial estimate ns 48,009 to 50,000
Owing to the wantof propororgani ation
however , the returns are not truat
worthy. For example , on July 24 , th
sanitary bulletin fixed the douths ii
Cairo at 465. From police statistic
they exceeded 1,200. The consul genera
reports that in well-informed oflicial eir
cles the number of victims is estimated a
(55,000 to 70,000. In many villages o
the interior , ho Bays , the majority of th
laboring population died , and , in som
instances , 'nearly entire communities die
appeared , and not sufficient effective
hands remain to cultivate and harvest th
crops.

DUHUN , January 3. The Weekly No wi
publishes a letter from A. M. Sullivan ,
jno of Patrick O'Donnoll's counsel , ontl
Lied , "Susan ( Jallngher , the Irish Jeanie
\io Deans ; an Episode of the O'Donnoll
Trial. " Sullivan describes the connec
tion of Susan Gallagher with the killing :
of Carey , and arguoa that the facts re
dound to the credit of the Iriah pensan
try. In this case , ho saya , u simple
Donegal girl outrivaled the Midlothoan
heroine in her anguish , sacrifice , devotion
tion and truth. Mr. Russell's nine-
terly and irresistible argumon !
proved a hundred circumstances
and considerations in favor o :
Carey having handled n pistol during
the tragedy. YUM * ugo O'Donnell separated
aratod from his wife in America. While
revisiting Donegal O'Donnoll ' met Susat
who consented under the appearance ol
his sister to accompany him to the Capo ,
where they intended to marry. When ,
after their return to England , she was
interviewed by Pryor and Sullivan ,
Susan stated that after leaving Capi
Town she sat listless , seasick and dazcci
in the steamer's saloon on n bench , ant
when Sullivan approached the critica
point concerning Carey's pistol , Susan
realizing the tremendous importance ol
the question , suffered intense mental an
guishand trembled like a leaf. Sobbing ! }
she replied , ' 'My back was turned towarc
them air. Oh , sir , if I had only turnec
round before. Oh , sir , I was not look
ing the right way. I hoard some noise
on the floor. It might have been tlu
shuflling of feet. It vraa a small matter. '
Sullivan adds , "Who could contradic
her if she testified she behold Carey witl
a pistol in his hand , or wffat could bi
easier than for her to declare she he an
the pistol fall. " In conclusion ho says
"Tho people of Tyrconnell may clain
with pride the humble heroine , unswerving
ing in her religion and truth , Susan Gal
higher , the Irish Jcannio Deans. "
