Crescent City Rifle Club will not be
beaten, and that the prizes offered here will
remain at home.

Course Of the Epidemic In Savannah.
The total number of deaths during the

of this number, 1914 died of various dis.
eases other than yellow fever. If the forty
deaths whlch occurred between the twenty
frst of August, the period from which we
date the commencement of the yellow fever,
be added to these returns, it would give
total of 755 deaths from all diseases. or
twenty Der diem for thirty-nine days.
The mortality among children was very
great, show wing 273 deaths out Of . total OF

feature is the fact that, although the colored
population 10 within q thousand or two OF
the white, but l54 of them have died since

1ifth. Apart from yellow fever altogether,
there have been no less than 1876 deaths

AGRICULTURAL.
Georgia Crop Report.


ATLANTA, October 12-The report of the
Georgia State commissioner of agriculture
for September shows the corn crop is thir-
ty-four Der cent better than last year; cot
ton fifteen per cent better; sugar cane thir-
ty-three per cent: ground peas four per cent
and sweet potatoes eleven per cent. Tho
tu1nip crop is almost failure on account of
the drouth, but no: too late to SOW yet in
this climate. Cotton picking is much fur
ther advanced than last year. 1t is esti-
mated that the bulk of the crop will be
gathered by November 1. So far it is nearly
all gathered in universally good condition.
Hogs have been universally kept from
cholera this year, and thoee for slaughter
this fall are seven per cent gresSer in number
and better in quality. The stock of hogs il
generally improving. All forage crops are
saved in extraordinarily fine condition and
nearly full supply made. The seas,n is
remarkably favorable for gathering the
matured crops, but very unfavorable for
crops not matured and for sowing small
grains.

DISASTERS.

A Terrible Explosion at PtttsburR-A Mill
Destroyed and Lives Lost.
P1rTsBURG, Pa, October IA terrible
explosion occurred at ZuR Il Co.'s mills,
corner of Thirteenth and Ktna streets, at
tended by great loss OF life. The boilers in
the nail mill exploded, and that building
and more than half the rolling mill were
demolished. A large number Of employees
were at work. It ie impossible to tell how
many were buried in the ruins. The great
est excitement prevails. The building
caught fire, and the flames have not yet
been extinguished. So far ten dead bodies
have been taken from the ruins.
At the time of the explosion $50 men and
boys were working in the building, which
was literally torn to pieces. The roof, fall
ing back, rested on one of the nail machines,
enabling the men to crawl out before the
wreck was in flames. The following is q
fireman; Andrew Sullivan, fireman; Frank
Cupps. Peter Kendrick. John and Joseph
Anderson, feeders; two brothers named Nc
Cafferty, and an unknown man whose head
was blown off and whose body has not been
identified. A large number Of persons were
wounded.
The scenes on the outside in the vicinity
of the works for considerable distance
were of the widest and most heartrending
C00r0CI0r. no 0oW1 OF Cu0 EXPLOSION
spread like wildfire through the city, and
in q short time people began to gather from
all parts. Men, women and children who
had relatives and friends in the establish
ment rushed franricslly forward. A scene
of the widest confusion followed. The po-
lice, with ropes extended across the street,
kept the surging crowd from interfering
with the successful work of the firemen
and th.ir apparatus.
The chief Of police, with large body of
patrolmen, were kept busy in keeping back
the crowd and assisting in carrying out the
wounded and killed from under the debris.
The Office of the works, on the corner of
Etna street, opposite the mill, where the
explosion occurred, was considerably used
up. The building was improvised into q
temporary hospital, where the dead and
wounded we're carried. A large number of
surgeons were promptly on the grounds.
The causes which led to the frightful ca.
lamity are yet enveloped in mystery. The
boilers were in charge of careful engi-
neer and had been duly inspected before
the works resumed operations some five
weeks ago.
3P. M.-Frank Managers, Andrew Man
gers and Louis Thrank have died from their
Injuries, and Pat Griffin. John Higgins,
john Klein, Frank McCaferry and Harris
Loher will doubtless die.

tinued, and DR.. Herndon relieved when
notified by the president.
DIR. Southworth states that the drafts
from him were to the order OF the secretary
of the board; that he has the right to col
lect the fees and pay the expenses of the
station first under Revised Statutes, 3042;;
that the board long ago determined, in
order to accommodate vessels, that the
physician in his discretion might accept
drafte; that as the resident physician is re-
quired TO account for all fees, it follows
that the drafts should be payable to his
order: !hat at the time the complaints were
made the board had certified pay rolls; that
it is no loss to the State for him to collect
the drafts, and saves the board the trouble
and expense.
The committee on the subject reported
that two drafts were at Shultz & Co.'s to
the order of 81. T. yennard.
On motion of DR.. Devron, the legal ques-
ton was referred to the attorney, and

fed that no more drafts would be paid ex-
cept on the order of the board.

that the quarantine of New Orleans at Gal
weston would be raised on the sixteenth,

gers would be allowed to pass on that date.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER
The Interstate Rife Match.

Some months since the Crescent City
Rife Club conceived the idea of arranging
an interstate rife match, to engage the
clubs of different States in q contest for
superiority. 1t being impracticable for
amateurs to leave their business and meet
at one place, the entries were made to
allow each team selected to shoot at home
on their own grounds. The circulars issued
by Captain John Glynu, Jr.. secretary of
the Crescent City Rifle Club, were re-
sponded to by clubs in New York, Vermont,
Massachusetts. Rhode Island. Wisconsin,
Illinois and other States. Disinterested
judges were selected for each team of eight
men, and the contest took place Yesterday
afternoon. The shooting of our team at
the Crescent City rife range resulted in
the following score, each man having fifteen
shots az each Of the long ranges of 800, 500
and 1000 : ards, under CreedmoOr rulee:
