WASHINGTON, Jan. Saturday Senator
Thurman sent the following supplementary
letter to Senator Teller:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4.
Hon. VIM. Teller. Chairman of the Select Com
mittee of Investigations
DEAR SIR: In further compliance with the
| request of your committee communicated by
your letter of the 21st ult., have the honor
now to enclose to you instalIment No. 2 Of
facts relating to the late elections. especially
as to the misconduct of United States super
visors and deputy mashals, to-wit:
First-A letter from James Fl. Pains,
Jacksonville, Florida, relative to the miscon-
duct of United States supervisors and deputy
marshals at the elections in the Second Con-
gressional district in that State.
SeconG--An affidavit of Owen j. Sommers,
Duvall county, Florida, relating to the same
subject.
Third-Statements of F. G. Randolph,
Montgomery, Alabama, showing the miscon-
quot of United States deputy marshal at the
late election in that State.
| am a sured that these three gentlemen
are citizens of high standing and respecta-
bility, and I beg leave TO commend their
statements to the earnest consideration Of
your committee. am sir, very respectfully
your obedient servant.
(Signed) A. G. THURMAN.
Here follows the statements referred to in
the letter of Senator Thurman The first
letter refers principally 10 the employment of
the United States supervisor of election and
deputy marshal at voting precincts through
the counties comprising the 'black beIt'' of
Florida, Nassau, Duval, Aiachua, Columbia,
Suwanee, Marion, Madison, Jefferson, Leon
and Gadzlon, AID he concludes by saying
that the deputy United States marshals, who
were present on election day at the various
precincts in the ''black bejt' counties, were
IN no wise deputies, but were solely en-
gagged on special service, beginning and
ending on election day; that there was
NO. earthly necessity for their being present
at all, as the State and municipal officers
present were amply able to preserve order
and insure fair election, as has been evil
denced time and again befor,
Owen j. Sommers, whose affidavit Is al
luded to by Mr.. Thurman, deposes that
colored deputy United States marshals in
Duval Co., Fla, were engaged in the cleo
ton on the 9Th of November in distributing
Republic IN ballots and persuading colored
voters to vote the same.
Randolph, letter concerning the coaduct Of
the election in Montgomery county, alleges
that colored men were forced by deputy
United States marshals to vote the Republic
can tickets, and that t.o deputy United
States marshals, in violation of the state
law, distributed whisky and other refresh
ments among the colored voters.

NEW TRIAL DENIED.
Doctors Disa.re.iup.

New ORLEANS, Jan. 5.-Dr. A. w. Smythe.
prominent practicing physician, testified
before the Congress committee he believes
yellow fever wherever it exists originates
there. He believes heat to be the main fac
tor OF fever, but not that bad sanitary con-
dition superinduces. Crops are better dnr-
ing epidemics and vegetation more luxuri-
Gus. Does not believe in the germ theory
or that yellow fever is transmittable from
one person to another. Does not think there
Is any evidence that fever poison is trans
m1ssabie In goods or clothing. Believes
there is more liability in secondary attacks
OF yellow fever than smallpox. Knew sew
erai cases of reoccurrence, but thinks one
attack generally immunitive of disease. DR..
Austin, of the board of health, quoted
authorities in favor of his opinion that
fever was imported.
