DIR. HOLT on the FLORIDA EPE
DEMLC

We publish in another column part of a
letter written by Dr. Joseph Holt, late
Health Officer Of New Orleans, and for.
mcrly President OF the Board OF Health
OF the State Of Louisiana, in which he
traces, by means OF the statements and
accounts published in the Florida papers,
the origin and growth OF the existing
epidemic Of yellow iover in that State,
which he charges Is due TO the cupidity
OF railroad and steamship companies and
others interested in travel in Florida,
who suppressed the knowledge of the
existence Of the lever in Tampa
until II got such Roadway that il
asserted itself as an overwhelmingly dc.
structivo agency before anything could
be done TO arrest IFS progress. This used
10 be our way Of doing things in Mem.
phis But after the wociul epidemic of
1878, the sensible conclusion was reached
by press and public never again 10 con-
ccal anything in relation TO epidemic
disease, and diligently to search out the
refugees by whom such diseases are
spread, II any should surrcptitiously enter
the city and drive them out after proper
and thorough disiniecton by sulphur.
The present experience by the people Of
Florida will, 1t Is possible, teach them this
lesson also, 81 that next year and in all
the years 10 come they will be yigilant to
refuse an asylum to refugees from Cuba or
elsewhere, aud thus in future prevent tho
advent OF the most dangerous aud dis.
tructivc OF diseases Refugees arc US

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Decided Unconstitutional by the Wash

Decided Unconstitutional by the Wash
ington Territory Supreme Court.
CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. l6.-A dispatch from
Olympia, W. T., says The supreme court
of Washington Territory has decided the
law granting suffrage to women unconsti.
tutional. The grounds for the opinion
were based on the fact that the Legislature
exceeded its powers granted by Congress.
The court took the ground that the word
"the citizens" in the organic act can mean
nothing else than male citizens. The
opinion contained 1000 words, and an APP
peal will be taken 20 the supreme court
OF the United States The peculiarly OF
the legislation on woman suffrage in the
Territory is that this is the second law
passed and the second time it has been
declared unconstitutional under the orig.
inal law passed by large majority in the
Legislature: Two years ago an election
was held and women cast votes in all the
counties. Then the supreme court over
ruled 1t. Again few weeks ago the Leg.
is!ature passed the law, and this has met
the same fate. Tho Territory is a strong
hold Of prohibition and woman suffrage
advocates, and they will fight this case to
the court of last resort.

that he was living near Oxford, Miss,
and 50 reported to the sheriff, who q
few days ago, got a requisiIion
for him, and yesterday, at his
request, Sheriff p. L. Matthews. OF
Oxford, with several deputies, surprised
him at his home, and after desperate
tussle succeeded in Handwriting him. He
was taken TO Oxford, and tonight Sheriff

this morning about o'clock. The branch
train was returning from its trip TO Arte.
sin, which il had mado about two hours
previous, when it came TO curve lust
beyond which was a trestle, in the middle
OF which little negro boy about twelve
years Of age lay asleep. There was no
time TO whistle for brakes, for the engine
was TOO near the boy. So the engineer
pulled ahead, knowing that IL he did
whistle the boy would awake suddenly
aud he killed outright; ~ he ran ahead,
hoping that his train would not kill the
child, which II did not, but Knocked a
small plug out Of his bead and broke his
lief, arm. Tho negro is doing well. and
was certainly quite fortunate in escaping
instant death.
