YELLOW FEVER.
The ScOurge Spent at BrOwnsville-The
Outlook at Pensacola.

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, October 12.-There
have been no new cases of yellow fever to-
day, and but one death, that Of a Mexican.
There was one death at Fort Brown, viz:
Lieutenant Winnie, of the Nineteenth In
fantry. General Smiths command is
camped nine miles below the city, and the
men are yet in fine health. There is slight
abatement in the sickness at Camargo and
Mier. The weather is hot, with strong
south winds.
PENSACOLA, October Am imperfect
report gives 33 new cases of yellow fever
to-day and deaths. The total number OF
cases to date is l ,439 and the total deaths
rs. Among the deaths have been those
of Rev. Mr.. Dubois, pastor of the
Methodist Church, and of young Raw-
kins, mentioned In yesterdays dispatch.
Among the new cases are those Of DR..
White, OF the United States Marine Hos
pital Service, and of DR.. RenshaW, who had
already recovered from a new attack of the
epidemic. The illness OF these two practi-
tioners, with another already sick, causes a
serious lack OF medical attention, and rem
ders the report of new cases imperfect. The
recent cases have been marked by aggra-
waited malignance.
NEW ORLEANS, October IL The FtcG
yatne'S Pensacola special reports 33 new cases
of yellow fever and deaths to-day. The
deaths yesterday were John Solser, mer-
chant, a son of Mr.. Lappinton, Salvador

lister, Jas. Curry, a prominent merchant,
Mrs E. M. Jordan, Francisco Vento, an
italian sailor, Ransom Anderson and Geo.

gregstion, and up to the time of his being
stricken was steadfast in his work for the
alleviation of the suffering. Mrs. Jordan
leaves three orphan children, the father
having died some weeks ago. DR.. White,
of the United States Marine Hospital Ser
vice, is sick from overwork but not from
fever. The total of cases to date is 1,4S9
and deaths 12S.

EIGHTY MILES AN HOUR.
A Run from Boston to Providence in
Fffty-fOur Minutes.


Through the kindness of Superintendent
Folsom, a Journal reporter was permitted to
ride upon the "Shore Line express" on the
Boston and Providence Railroad This train
Is the fastest run on the road, and brief
description of his experience will not come
amiss. The train on this special occasion
consisted Of eight cars heavily loaded. At
one O'Clock the last bell sounded, and the
reporter, after producing his credentials,
clambered into the cab. The steam gauge
indicated 16O pounds, and had there
been a thermometer the heat would
doubtless have registered an equal
number OF degrees. The train
rolled slowly to the crossing and then the
throttle-valve was thrown half open. The
increase OF speed was soon noticeable, and
In rapid succession Roxbury, Boylston. Ja-
maica Plain, Forest Hills and Mount Hope
were left behind. Along this portion OF the
route there Is succession of curves which
render quick time an impossibility, but
after passing the last mentioned place there
1s straight stretch of road over mile In
length, and here the speed was increased.
Hyde Park, seven and half miles from the
start, was passed in twelve minutes, and
then, with no curves for over five miles, the
engine settled down TO ''a mile a minute" "
From De1ham Roads to Sharon
Heights is grade seven and q half miles
and as the train toiled up this inclined plane
of nearly 300 feet there was an appreciabIe
slackening Of the speed. you'll see some
fast time now," remarked the engineer, as
he opened the throttle valve still further,
and, ia response to the word, the engine
leaped forward for its wild race against
time. 1t seemed gigantic monster en-
dowed with life. At every pulsation OF its
mighty heart it made renewed efforts to es-
cape. We were on the down grade. OBJ
jects few backward with lightning rapidity.
We were plugging forward into space.
To see an object ahead was to be upon
1t. Behind was the long line of cars: be-
yond-nothiDg. Occasionally the engine
would give a lurch as IL gathering its
force for still greater speed. But this could
not last long. Eight miles behind us was
the top OF the grade. This distance had
been trave Ged in six minutes. East Fox
boro, Mans--ld and AttlebOro were left in
the distance. We had run thirty-three
miles In forty-one minutes. Providence was
eleven miles beyond, and in twelve minutes
we had reached the round house: Rfty.three
and half minutes had fed, and Boston was
fortV-four miles away. A delay of a minute
was caused by the required stop at the
round house, and the train steamed slowly
into the Providence station, having made
the quickest run on record-going a portion
of the distance at the rate OF eighty miles

ENGLAND AND EGYPT.
THE BRITISH POLICY OUTLINED.
No Desire to Annex the Countrywide
Trial of the RebeIs-The Moderate
Party UppermOst at COnstantinopIe.

LONDON, October IA dispatch from
Cairo says: "Risz Pasha still refuses to
allow English counsel to defend Arabi
Pasha. Sir Edward Malet firmly advocates
the employment of counsel. He contends
that delay in granting the application for
counsel will seriously prejudice the case of
Arab, who meanwhile is being subjected to
a long and severe series of private examina-
tions."
A dispatch from Constantipople saws:
1.-THE moderate party has gained a victory
over the fanattcal party. Said Pasha has
made two conditions for his remaining in
office. First that each Minister shall be
responsible for the working of his own de-
partment. Second tha. the Austro.
German alliance shall he abandoned, the
accomplished facts in Egypt accepted and
good understanding with England and
France on the Eastern question re-estab-
lished.
Mr.. Leonard Fl. Courtney, NJ. P, Junior
Secretary to the Treasury, on opening the
Liberal Club at Tarpoint, denied that the
government arrogated to themselves credit
for the victories In Egypt. That country,
he said, must evidently be independent Of
foreign control. The cost of the war should
be betrayed by Egypt. No doubt the bond
holders would have to forego. something.
1t was not for them that England went 10
war. 1t would be necessary to consult
the powers in regard to a resettlement,
Mr.. Courtney concluded by saying
that the policy of the government was to
detach Egypt from the Sultan, to look after
the Suez canal and to allow the Egyptians
to stew In their own juice, and in SO acting
warn the Khedive that his future position
depends upon his management of affairs.
LIVERPOOL, October 12-Lord North
brook, First Lord Of the Admiralty, in
replying to toast at q banquet here to-
night, said there no doubt was a feeling of
sympathy among the Mohammedans with
the Egyptian insurrection, but the Indian
Mohsmmedans know that the Queen has
made no distinction between her subjects,
and that the government has no
desire to annex or govern Egypt. The
great powers are satisfied that England has
no other object than to prevent anarchy
and the closing OF the canal, whether In
peace or war.
Right Hon. Henry Fawcett, Postmaster
General, also spoke. sHe said that the Liber-
al party were never more united or ready to
sacrifice their individual wishes to the gen
ersl good.
CAIRO, October 12.-The following Pashas
will be arraigned with Arab for trial: Toulba
Ali, Fehny, Mahmoul, Fehmy, Abdellah,
SamY, Yakoob, Amar, Rahmy, Ali Rouby,
Said Bey and Gandeel. A list of the prison
ers awaiting court martial has been handed
Sir Edward Malet, the British Consul Gen
eral, 1t contains 113 names. Gen. Alison
has been appointed to the chief command
OF the army of occupation. Generals Haw-
ley and Willis have sailed for England.

THE r. Sd SALE.
Rumored Change of Ownership Confirm
ed-The BaIlin.ore and Ohio the Real
Purchaser-Garretrs Anxiety for u
Southwestern Outlet.


Attontd ConstfthtSO75.
The rumor that the control of the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad Company had
passed out of the hands OF those Gentlemen
who have heretofore held it, was Confirmed
on Yesterday by several Incidental points.
There is the best Of reasons for saving
that the Standard Oil Company, II It Is the
purchaser, represents the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. It is known that
for several years Mr.. Garrett has been seek
ing Southwestern outlet. When the Rich
mond and Danville people bid for the lease
Of the Air. Line, Mr.. Garrett was only day
or two behind them, and actually offered
more than they gave. He competed with
them for the purchase of the Virginia Mid
land, and when beaten in that announced
that he would build an Independent line into
the South. He even went so far as to locate
a line between LvnchburQ and DanVille, and
we believe began work on it.
Suddenly Mr.. Garrett withdrew all nego-
tiations for 8 Southern line, and it appeared
that he had abandoned all idea OF coming
South. The purchase of the control OF the
Rome and Dalton system by the Standard
OIL Company, many OF the directors Of
which are directors OF the Baltimore aud
Ohio and close friends OF Mr.. Garrett. looks
as If that veteran railroader had made his
Southwestern connection at one fell swoop,
instead of building it up by piecemeal and
unueE the pressure OF cOmpetlLlOn. lie said
to prominent Georgian a short time since:
81 will be down In your section in few
weeks If my plans mature as they are now
projected"
The heavy decline Of the stock Of the
West Point Terminal Company offered q
capital opportunity for Mr.. Garrett to COB
bic up the Richmond and Danville system.
That system and It's leases are controlled BY
the West Point Terminal, which has C~alY
81, 100000 capital. OF this, the Riehnao..u
and Danville people owned the controlling
interest. TIE stock, which has been very
high, dropped to 80 last week. AT this rate
the whole stock could have been bought for
O,OOO, or a controlling interest for $780,
600.
If the control of these lines be passed OF
OF these men, who built up the magniAce
system, which we hope-is not the case, 1
fortunate that it has gone into such
strong hands as the Baltimore and Ohio. III
Mr.. Garrett has bought the Richmond and
Danville Roads end leases 1t means that he
Will faish the G aorgis Pacific and hurry
everything to The Mississippi river and
Southwest. The system viii not be COM
plete or efficient without the completion OF
the Georgia Pacific, and the Baltimore and
Ohio has the money to push It through in
the shortest possible time.

A SERIOUS STRIKE.
Grave Trouble Feared on the Northern
Pacific.

SAN FRANCISCO. October IA dispatch
from Portland, Oregon, says: "The laborers
on the Northern Pacific Railway yesterday
demanded an advance of wages from So to
81 90 per day. This was refused BY Mr..
Hallet, Superintendent of Construction. All
the Cinnamon were then driven from work.
Mr.. Hallet. it is understood, telegraphed
to Missouls for troops, but 1t can't be learn
ed whether or not the commanding officer
furnished any. This morning the ring
Leaders OF the mob threatened to hang Mr.
Hallet. Engineer Thietson, with the pay
master, started to the front this morning
with large sum Of money, aud an escort
OF twenty-five soldiers. While the men
are, as rule, well disposed, there are
probably two hundred convicts and many
fugitives from justice in the crowd, and

ROBBED In THE STREET.
A BANK CASHIER OUT THIRTY
THOUSAND.
Set Upon by Highwaymen-A Gallant Re-
sistance--Escape of the Thieves.

LEBANON, Pa, October 12.-About eight
O'Clock this evening George D. Rise, cashier
of the Lebanon Dime Savings Bank, was
robbed Of a satchel containing 10000, all
in bills. He had just returned from Phila-
delphis, and before going to the bank
stopped at his house for supper. While on
his way to the bank after supper, and about
a square from his house, he was passed by
two men, and directly sfterward received a
blow, knocking him in the gutter. He held
on to the satchel and cried murder. The
robbers, who had been beating and knock
ing him all the while, fearing his cries would
bring assistance, moved off ashort distance
but AGAIN returned, and wrenching the han
die of the satchel succeeded In securing It.
Mr.. Rrise made a gallant fight and
was covered with blood It has
since been learned that the struggle between
the cashier aud the robbers was witnessed
by George Pohr. who was passing along the
street, but he thought 1t was fight between
lot OF drunken men. The robbers were
seen to run into vacant lot near by and
were hailed as they ran by another citizen
curious to know the cause of their hurry.
There is no further clue. The money be-
longed to the bank,

A NICE QUESTION.
Involving Criminal Convictions.

New ORLEANS, October 12.-In the case
of Healy, charged with murder, Judge W.
r. Whitaker, Of counsel for the defense,
filed challenge to the array of jurors on
the ground that the Jury Commissioners are
Illegally appointed under sections of act
9S organizing the Criminal District Court,
which act was passed in direct violation of
article 4S of the constitution. Sections
l to 5 inclusive Of said act, constitute a
local and special law on the subject
not enumerated in article 46 of the consti-
tuition, and no publication of an intention
to apply therefor was made in the manner
provided by law. Therefore counsel prays
that the panel OF jurors be quashed. The
motion was filed for argument on Saturday
next. The belief is that this motion will
not be granted, inasmuch as such action
would, in effect, abolish the Criminal Dis
trict Courts, that have been in operation
over two years.

Orleans special says: San ordinance was
passed by Council o-day which disposes Of
the well known litigation between the city
OF New Orleans and the New Orleans, Mo-
bile and Texas Railway Company, which
began about the year 1870. The case had

The representatives of the company at first
offered the city S. 900. and finally agreed to
pay over $4,000 on condition that the grants
