JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept 21.-The follow
ing appeal has been issued by the Mayor of
Fernabdina:
In view of the fact that many of our citizens
have left our stricken city, and that therefore
the burden of providing for the poor and sick
devolves upon those remaining; and also for
the reason that the medical men present an
nounce it as their positive belief that the
dreadful disease in our town will not be stayed
until after frost: we reluctantly ask our
fellow citizens who may read this call to mod
erately aid US in our troubles. We would ask
that corporations, associations and private
individuals, who desire to extend helping
hand, may be pleased to notify US of the
amount of money or supplies by them COL
lected, and give us authority to draw upon
them as onr necessities may require.
There was.one death from yellow fever at
Fernandiana today. Twenty-one new cases
are reported. Several Of the critical cases yes

number. The disease is becoming epidemic,
At OldtowD, about mile north of the city

A Denial.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21-Secretary Sherman
emphatically and Indignantly denies a report
which has been circulated, that he has ap-
proved paper obliging the Ohio clerks in the
Treasury Department to 60 home and vote at
the coming election.
The Syndicate.
Messrs Pierrepont, Morgan, George Bliss,
Joseph Seligman, Aug.s Belmont and f. O.
French. representing the syndcatel of the
United States per cent bonds, arrived here
today and this evening had conference with
Secretary Sherman at the Treasury Depart
ment. After the conference the Secretary
stated that the visit Of the gentlemen above
mentioned was merely for the purpose of con-
sultation with him and the settlement of ac-
counts between the syndicate and the govern
ment, but that no new proposition pertaining
to the present contract or sale of the bonds was
considered. They leave for New York tomor-

From the Boston Journal
The Speakership.
Mr.. Randalps friends claim that letters re-
ceived within the last few days make it certain
that he will be elected Speaker upon the third
ballot, Should this be done there is not much
doubt that the craftsmanship of the committee
which will have charge of subsidy legislation
will be given to the South and the railroad in
terest The newspaper organ of Congressman
Goode of Virginia now declares that be is in
favor of the Texas Pacific scheme. Hitherto
Mr.. Goodies friends have stoutiy denied this.
This admission now indicates the growing
power of the Texas Pacific job in the Speaker
ship contest.
Patent Dispute Settled.
Mr.. Sargent has been successful in his lock
suit. The Yale Lock Co., after long and ex.
pensive trial, in which they endeavored to pre-.
vent the issuing OF patent to Sargent. the in
ventor of the time lock, have been defeated in
the Appellate Court Judge Garter, after q
careful review of the case decided that there
was no appeal from the decision of the Secre-
tary of the Interior, who was the final record
in all questions coming before any bureau in
his Department. In accordance with this iudg-
ment the Secretary to-day has ordered the pa
tent to issue to Mr.. Sargent. This has been
one of the most important patent cases ever
presented before the Department, and involved
the most valuable patent of recent date.
