THE CHOLERA SCOURGE
ROME, October 16.
There have- been serious cholera riots at Segmi. The mob, believing the officials' action to combat cholera was the outcome of a design to slaughter innocent people, besieged the Town Hall, overcame the email force of carabiniers, sacked the building, invaded the hospital, and carried away the patients, some of whom were at the point of death, to their homes. Military reinforcements quelled the disturbance.
