The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1883-08-25

Yellow fever appeared in Ameri-
can ports on the Gulf of Mexico last
year at least two weeks earlier than
this. 1t prevailed in a mild form at
Brownsville, Tex, before August Z,
and in a more malignant type across
the river at Matamoras, Mexico.
During the two weeks next before
the 18th there were sixty.two cases
and ten deaths at Brownsville. Be-
fore September the number of new
cases daily ranged from thirty to
eighty, and there we've three or four
deaths every day. No fever has yet
been reported this year in Texas, no
cases have been definitely located in
Louisiana, and the outbreak at the
Pensacola naval station is not very
threatening. There is every reason
to hope that vigilant inspection and
rigorous quarantine will preserve the
Mississippi Valley from infection.

1t is given out that the South Car
Dina Railway Company have made
known their willingness to furnish
free transportation to negroes who de-
sire to leave the State. This privi-
lege. however, will only be extended
to:organized bands of 'exodusters' who
express determination never to re-
turn to the State. With the constant
increase of negro population the race
is fast becoming dead weight upon
the State and many thousands of them
can we'll be spared.

Fireproofed WO d.
INew York Sun.l

lNcW lOth sum-
A test of freproofed wood was
made yesterday afternoon by Mr..
Starkweather, the architect of the
new Potter building, in the furnace
cha mber in the bottom of the huge
excavation for that structure. A box
fourteen inches square and about five
inches in depth, made of ireproofed
wood, was placed in the midst of an
enormous fire of hickory, oak and
yellow pine, famed into furious activ-
ity by strong draught, and was kept
there twenty-five minutes. uati the
pile of fuel was burned down into
embers. Then the box, charred OUT
side, but clear of fire marks inside,
was opened, and from its interior were
taken, unsinged and without discolor-
alton, copies of the Sun, a dollar bill
and some visiting cards, which had
been put in for the test. The en-
ployment of this prepared wood in
the new building is contemplated.
The sample of it shown on this occa-
sion went through test that would
have been severe on iron. .n.''
