The Strange Epidemic at Work
in Virginia.
The Southern Colored Men are
More Composed.
Fourth TranscOntinental Route
Formally Opened.
A Deadly Epidemic.

L%YNcHBURG, Va, November 25.-The
following in from well known preacher
in Southwest Virginia: The latest ad-
vices concerning the epidemic in Wise.
Lee, Dickinson and Buchanan counties,
are hcartrending. On Guests river, Wise
county, within a radius of four miles, are
thirty cases of the disease. In one in
stance the father, mother, and six chill
dren have died. Many persons die for
want Of attention. Business is suspended,
all being concerned with the sick and
dying. Six persons were buried in one
grave yard in one day. The disease is
assuming a milder form in some locations.
Not less than one hundred and seventy
five of the best citizens of Wise county
alone have died. During the last few
days the disease made its appearance in
Lee county and several deaths occurred.
More worthy people never called more
loudly for relief than these. They need
nurses, medicines and a committee Of in
telligent physicians to diagnose the dis
ease and stop its terrible march"

A GAS JET.
Ferguson Street Flooded With h Mel

What a frightful lot of gas that
burner must consume, Z" said a gentleman
pointing to a brilliant jet, resembling a
lime light in its beauty and intensity,
which was displayed in front Of the Gas
CompanY's Office on Ferguson street last
evening.
The lamp post, surmounted by the Z
traordinary burner, was placed in position
yesterday and last night for the first time
threw out its effulgent radiance. The light
was of wonderful Illuminating capacity
and yet so beautifully mellow
that it had no irritating effect upon the
eye.
what sort of a novel burner is that?''
inquired a LEADER reporter of Mr., Fay.
who has charge of the Gas Company's
practical affairs.
Here's a man that can tell you all
about it, replied Mr.. Fay. This is Mr..
NJ. Leader. who represents the plumbing

Mr.. Leader being spoken to regarding
the matter, said that the burner was
arranged upon a new and novel princi-
pie. and was just being intro
dueed into this country. 1t was invented
by Prof Siemen, of Berlin, one of the
leading practical scientists of the world.
Besides its extraordinary Illuminating
qualities it also serves the purpose of a

Suit on an OLD Note for a Slave.

Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, Oct. 81.
A suit is now on trial in the United
States court for the collection of a note
given 30 years ago in payment for a ne
gro slave, Emma. The suit is brought
by Judge Hugh Buchanan, of NEWMAN,
against Judge Dennis +. Hammond, for.
merly of Coweta county, hut now of Or
lando, Fla. The note was given in 1854
and was due on the 25th of December of
that year, and was for $3.50. 1t was given
by George w. Holland, with Dennis +.
Hammond and r. w. Sims as securities.
The plaintiff claims that he bought the
dote. Judge Hammond claims that the
giver of the note left Coweta county for
Alabama in 1855. and on leaving turned
over to the law firm of which Judge Blu.
chanan was a member, collateral more
than sufficient to pay the
note; that the attorneys received
the collateral, which was per-
fectly good and solvent, and allowed the
giver of the note to move to Alabama I'M
molested. That the defendant in this
suit did not authorize this proceeding,
that 1t was increasing his risk, and he was
thus released. The defendant also claims
that the attorneys should account for the
collaterals before they are entitled to any
judgment against anybody. They do not
account for them at all. Judge Buchanan
denies that he had anything to do at all
with the taking of the collateral or the
contract connected Herewith. The case
hung fire in the courts before the war.
Then Judge Hammond became Judge and
it hung off. Then Judge Buchanan went
on the bench, and now it is finally in the
United States court. The interest ia two
or three times as much as the principal.
The evidence is all in and the argument
is in progress. The maker of the note is
still living. The negro Emma, the inno-
cent cause of all the trouble, is probably
dead.

Moworkman's Death.

OaHAs ~ hSA -
Captain Donald McWorkman, who
came TO Fargo about fourteen months ago
as bookkeeper for general agent Newell,
of the Woods Harvester company, died
yesterday morning at FIVE o'clock with
dropsy of the heart, at the residence of
Mrs. Powell, on the corner Of Eleventh
street and Washington avenue, age fifty
four years, one month and three days.
Mrs, McWorkman had telegraphed for
their son, DR.. H. McWorkman, of Tracy,
Minnesota, who was present with
the captain breathed his last.
Capt. McWorkman entered the army
as a private in the Second Iowa infantry
from K%eosauqua in 1861, and was pro.
NOTED at Corinth In 1868 to be quarter
master of the First Alabama cavalry.
He was an old.time army friend
of the editor of the Argus,
they serving together in the
campaign through Georgia on Sherman's
famous march to the sea. On his return
from the war the captain settled at Coun.
Gil Bluffs, where he made his home for
many years, until coming to Fargo with
Mr.. Newell.
The corpse was embalmed by Mr.. Rice
funeral director for the Luger Furniture
company. The Fargo commandery of
Knights Templar, of which he was a
member, have taken charge of the funeral
services, and the knights will attend in
a body, escorting the remains to the
Ma nitoba train, leaving for the east at
half-past seven this morning. Mrs. Nc
Workman will accompany her son, the
doctor, to Tracy, Minnesota, where the
remains will bs inferred.
Mr.. Newell, who has known Captain
McWorkman for many years, regrets the
loss of a kind friend and valued assist.
ant, while all those who have known the
deceased in the past mourn his loss and
extend the warmest sympathy to the be-
reaved relatives .-Fargo Argus, Novem-

Almost Fatal CareIessness.

Mr.. Bert Clinton, son of Judge Gin.

other day by the carelessness of a SER
want, where he was boarding at Weeping
Water, Neb. Some concentrated lye had
been used for some purpose in the kitch-
en-, and some had accidentally been spill.
ed on the table in the kitchen. Some
bread was cut on the same tai le, and a
little lump of the lye got on to the bread.
Mr.. Clinton at the meal time CHANGED to
get this piece of bread, and swallowed
the bit of lye. Medical aid was sum.
moned, and it was thought that he could
not live, but the danger is now supposed
to be passed, he is still quite i'll. He has
been brought to this city and is now be-
ing cared for at Mrs. McMahon's, and is
under the treatment of DR.. Macrae.
