DENYING p Libel on Seeroes.

CHICAGO Nov. p The Inter Ocean hes a
special from Brunswick, Ga, as follows
The special telegram sent out from Savan-
nah, in which it was represented that the
negroes refused to assist in the suppression OF
the fire, that they made use of incendialy
language, and that they cut the hose SO as tc
prevent the extinction of the flames, has
aroused the deepest Indignation of the white
people here. They held meeting at whicl
it was resolved, as per report of a committes
of FIVE, that there was no ground for the in
cendiary ideas of said correspondent, decIar
ing that the reported cutting of hose wa.
utterly groundless; that there was no appear
ance of a riot; that the political turn sought
to be given the event is utterly and abso
lutely without foundation. This was
unanimously adopted. Among the most
effective workers at the fire were ne
groes, many Of them noted Re
publican politicians. One poor negro lost
his life in saving the property of white peo
pie, vet the correspondent ignores the hero
ism Of this man and seeks to brand the whole
race with the drunken expressions of a few
men who did not know what they were say
ing. The Appeal just issued says: The col
ored hand engine and tiremen were on hand
promptly, as usual, and did good work ON

the neighbors were attracted to the house by

he has not heed heard from since, though
the police have !ean hunting for

that the motive was not burglary or robbery,
aud what the motive was is as yet ghastly
riddle. Mr.. Cases pistol was found in his

loaded, and not one of the pistol shots of his

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 25.-The par
ticularS OF bitter quarrel between Maj Gen.
Sprigg Carroll who is on the retired list ..of
the army, and Col, George b. Corkhill, who
achieved national reputation through his
connection with the prosecution of Guiteau,
have just come to light. CorkhiI is counsel
for Mrs. Carroll, who has entered suit for
divorce against her husband.
Carroll claims that Corkhili has ex-
ceeded the bounds of propriety by giving the
case an menviable publicity. a few even
ings ago he called at Corkhilrs room at vii
lard, $ hotel, entered, and locked the door.
Corkhill arose, and demanded that the door
be unlocked. Gen. CAROLS only reply was
to take two revolvers from his pocket, and
to tell Corkhill to take his choice, as he
CARROLL had come to kill him. Cork
hill begged SO hard that Carroll
finally decided not to shoot him.

Talk About the Cholera.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 2j.-There ap-
pears to be q decided difference Of opinion
among experts concerning the deliberations
of the state boards of health which met at
New York last weel, to consider the ap-
pretended visit of cholera to the United
States. Medical men who recall the futile
efforts made during previous efforts of the
cholera do not pin their faith to any epidem-
les of quarantine regulations or restrictions.
The theory is that cholera, unlike yellow
fever travels through the air and overleaps
quarantine barriers, so that the better way
60 fight it is to thoroughly clean the large
cities, particularly seaport cities on the At
lantic coast prevent overcrowding in the tene-
ment houses, and suppress nuisances and
denominations OF every kind, upon which dis
ease finds its chief nourishment. Quaran.
tine, it is admitted, is an effective bar
against yellow fever, typhus fever and other
complaints of that character, but it is held
to be a weak defense, or no defense at all,
against the pestilence that is now desolating

EVANSTON, Ills, Nov. 25.-The Congrega.
tlonal church, an imposing frame structure,
corner of Grove and Hinman streets, was
destroyed by fire early Monday morning.
The flames were first discovered about l. 80
i'll the night, but it was after mid
night before the fire department was ready
to do good work, and it was then too late to
save the structure. At 1870 the flames shot
up from the roof, lighting the village for
blocks around, and soon after the
roof, spire and chimneys crashed to the
cellar sending skyward showers of sparks.
Crowds of shivering sight-seers stood
around and witnessed the progress of the
contiagration. The church was built in
1869 at n cost of nearly 500
600. II was damaged by the hurri-
cane of May ., 1888, and was repaired at a
cost of 5000, and was later further i'm.
