YELLOW JACK.
The Presence of the Dread Disease at
Biloxi Causes Excitement
AlOng the Coast.
Tho Infected Town Guaranteed on AN
Sides and Virtually Cut on
from the World.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, Sept. 2.-The an
nouncement of yellow fever at Biloxi has
caused excitement along the gulf coast
of Mississippi and in the neighborinp
towns and cities. Mobile, Montgomery,
Pensacola, Ocean Springs and Bay st.
Louis all Immediately issued quarantine
proclamations. The state board OF health
OF Louisiana decided not to quarantine
until tomorrow in order TO allow the
New Orleans people In Biloxi not living
in the infected district to return home.
All the summer visitors have returned TO
the city, and many from Ocean Springs,
Mississippi City and other seaside re-
sorts, the trains being crowded durinu
the last two days. A number of Mo
billans summering at Biloxi got caught
by the Mobile quarantine and found
1t Impossible to get home. To-
morrow the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad will discontinue their
stopping at Biloxi, while this place will
thus be left in the same fix as Pensacola
was few years ago, cut off from all CON
mnnication with the world except by
water. The prevalence OF the fever at
Biloxi Is attributed to its nearness 20 SHIN
island, the United States quarantine sta
ton on the gulf, and it is proposed that
the station shall be changed to some other
place. The charge is made that commu-
nication took place between Biloxi and
the Island where there was great deal of
yellow fever. In the meeting of the
board OF health to-day DR.. Hall denounced
the health authorities of Biloxi for having
broken their pledge to him to announce the
iirst suspicious, case of yellow fever. 1t
was known by many persons
In Biloxi ten days ago thar
fever prevailed there, but II was strenuous.
y denied by. the health officers. An the
cases are confined to three houses on Ca
deaux Point, completely isolated from the
rest OF the town. This quarter is being
thoroughly dislnfected aud il ia believed
that the spread of the disease can be pre-.
vented.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 2,-The state
board OF health at its meeting tonight

Is said that their action was due 10 the

CONTEST IN THE THIRD KENTUCKY.
hUssELLvILLE, KY, Sept. 2.-The
contest for congress is waxing warm In
the Third district in Kentucky, Rhea, a
lawyer OF Russellville being the opposing
candidate to Halsell, the present incum-
bent. Certain electioneering statements
were made by Rhea for which T. Il. Hite
demanded retraction. This being re-
fused, a challenge was sent, which Rhea
declined to accept on the ground that he
had no sympathy with the code and that
the laws of God and man alike forbade it,
and should he accept IL would debar him
from livelihood in the practice Of law.
The impression is, Hite will attack him,
aud there is much excitement.

PLAYS traitor TO all alike. The end for
which the Republican party was

To THE GAZETTE say: There is no
hope for Prohibition In either of the old
parties. Wherever they enact prohibit
tory laws they enact laws so weak they
cannot be enforced, and elect officers that
will not enforce them. They make great
show OF morality in their law, and whis-
per to the saioon-keepers to "sell on, the
law won't hurt you" The time has come
for lines to be drawn. A Democrat is
not Prohibtionist II he mdorses the

not Prohlbitionist if he indorses the
policy OF his party. And 1t is time all

Southern ladies' journal. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1886-18??, 1886-04-17

The imposition practiced upon the late
Mrs. Mary Jane Morgan by a class of
cart sharps" is very graphically demon
strated by the Times in long article
devoted to the history ofthe now renown-
ed Morgan Peachblow Vase" It now
transpires that the vase was purchased
by Mr.. Austin Robertson, the agent OF
the American Art Association, in 1854
for the insignificant sum $3.50, and re-
sold to Mrs. Morgan for $I2 ,ooo-quite
a snug little profit when it is taken into
consideration that the vase is not what 1t
is claimed to be-a piece de resistance in
the porcelain line.
