CASES of yellow fever are becoming
unpleasantly frequent in the cities of the
East, being generally some person
from ship that has ostensibly passed
the quarantine stations. The most strict
sanitary measures will only prevent the

Tue Laredo Times points Il moral as
in the transfer of the general offices of
the Galveston, Harrisburg and San An
tonic Railway system to New Orleans,
and attributes it to the failure of deep
the press has been inconsistent and one
sided. The bars at Galveston have
been obstacles to navigation at all
times, and to obtain deep water Is an
large that the Government could not af-
ford 1t. The authorities there said it
would take more than the 81, 600. 600 APP
propropriation asked for, ami 1t could
not be done for less, on the Government
or the Fades plan. This failure to Sc
cure deep water at Galveston seems to
have settled the question for all other
Texas Gulf ports, in the opinion Of the
papers of the State, and in consequence
they commence to talk about the falling
of of business. The work done at Sa-
bne Pass, and Aransas Pass, and We
lasco has been proven to be success,
and that deep water and good harbor
could be secured at either point for less
money than at Galveston. At Arkansas
Pass the work has passed beyond the
experimental stages, and has proven to
everyone conyersant with the subject
that deep water can be secured easily,
speedily, and cheaply, and that, too, on
the Government plan. Because Calves
ton Is unfortunately surrounded by a
series of accommodating sand bars is
no reason that the trade and commercial
supremacy of Texas is on the decline for
good. The same good opinion and good
Will extended toward the work at Aran-
sas Pass would be productive of good,
and at the seme time would not be mis-
placed, because all that is needed to
make 1t the really deep-water port OF
Texas is little earnest cooperation on
the part Of the press and the people, and
the object will be accomplished.

Chicago expert out here, named DR.. Piper, and
he has made several very interesting micro
scopical and Photographic experiments with the
contract, all of which he claims, of course show
that it Is a forgery. When he demanded the pro-
duction of the contract in court a while ago, that
he mi ght remove some of the ink In order to
subject it to chemical tests to show, as he said,
that two or three different kinds of ink were
used, Miss Hill refused to give it up, and she
was sent to Jail twenty four hours for contempt
the court having made the order. Since then
operations in that line have been suspended. and
Miss Hill keeps her precious document in her
own hands. DIR. Piper is arranging his testi-

matter of scientific analysis of chirography.
The confession of Nellie Bracket, Miss Hills
boon companion in the earlier stages Of the iti-
cation, in which she admits that all her testi-
mony was false, is not new, though it was widely
telegraphed. The truth is, nothing in her tes-
timony when it was given was calculated to
help Miss Hill much.
Nellie Bracket is the daughter of respectable
parents here who had no idea that she was ac-
quainted with Miss Hill until the scandal became
public, and they have done everything in their
power to get the young woman out of the scrape.

much perjury is all but admitted on both sides.

million dollars, and that, while she is not max

A DETERMINED SUICIDE.
Father Attempts to Drown His Boy and
Then Deliberately Takes His Own Life.

BALTIMORE Nd. June 16.-Charles Gerach,
aged thirty years, was invited by friend. Capt.
Frederick H. Smith. to go on all excursion down
the bay on the latter's oyster pungy yesterday.
Gerach was formerly quite wealthy but recently
lost his all in skating rink and other unprodt-
able ventures. When he went on the pungy
yesterday, he took his son with him. He seemed
to be very low spirited, and it was a subject Of
comment that he refused to associate with any
of his friends, When the pungy reached a good
bathing point down the bay she ran ashore, and
all hands went in swimming. Gerach it was
noticed, had his son we'll into the deep
water, and then suddenly seized him
and they both went under. The
boy succeeded in breaking loose from his father,
and swan for the shore. The latter swan in
pursuit. but finding that he could not overtake
his son, turned about and deliberately started
toward the middle of the bay His friends
called to him, but he only once turned and
waved his hand in token of goodbye Learning
from the boy that Gerach had tried to drown
him, the mans friends got into yawl boat and
rowed rapidly in pursuit Gerach, however,
who was very powerful swimmer, persistently
headed on his fata. course using every exertion
to outstrip his pursuers. They finally overlook
him, but he swan around the boat and eluded
up in the boat. and, holding out his hands,
cried: Father, father. don't leave me!
Come back" The desperate man by
this time was growing weaker, and, swimmin g
up to the side of the boat, said to his son: Give
me your hand, Neddie, and help me in" The
boy started to grasp the outstretehed hand, bat
one OF his companions. suspecting the father
intention, pushed him aside and held out his own
hand to help the drowning man into the boat
Gerach at once proved the meaning of the
request to the boy by refusing to accept the
proffered assistance He swan rapidly away
from the boat, and then allowed himself to sink.
shouting as he went down: Good bye, son! l
trust in God"
The boy tainted, and it was some moments
before the trembling men could muster up
strength enough to row back to the pungy. The
body was recovered in few hours, and brought
to the city to day. Gerach leaves widow and
the one son. In note to his wife, he had
announced his intention of killing himself, and
said he would xiii the boy. who only ten years
old. so that he would not be burden to his
mother
