THE FEVER STILL SPREADING.
NEW YORK, Oct. Especial dispatches
from the South show the death rate in
creasing. The disease in the river towns is
of most malignanttype. Watering places
on the Gulf are invaded by the destroyer,
creating a panic and fight of the resi-
dents.
103 CASES ON A TRAIN.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-The train which
arrived from Beloris Sunday night was
crowded with refugees from watering places
Oh the way. When it got to Rigolets the
discovery was made that fever had broken
out on the train, and before New Orleans
was reached there were one hundred and
three cases on board
The speed slackened from Rigolets to this
point, so that instead of arriving at $50, as
due, it did not get in until near midnight.
The scene beggars description, men, women
and children being stretched out upon the
seats, some in delirium and others in the
agony of fear.
The arrival of fresh material from water
ing places and the North is feeding the fever
rapidly and no material diminution can be
expected until frost stops the appalling de-
stroyer.

The recent rapid advance III the price of Western

President Green denied that any such action had

He said that such action by the Executive Commit
tee would carry no weight the stockholders alone

pany provided that special meetings of the stock
holders could only be called by the president upon
an application of stockholders representing at least
one-third of the capital stock of the company. No
such call had been served on him yet, nor did he
know when II would be. President Green added:
at cannot be denied that there is Affecting among
many of the largest stockholders that the surplus
earnings should be capitalized; these earnings
belong to those who have invested their in the
company and they have both legal and an equita-
bic right to such capitalization. Those who advo-
cate this project believe that the earnings of the
company are ample to pay per cent dividend
