The Park Row Dead Man Identified.

NEW YORK, August 26.--The body of the man who was murdered in Park row yesterday afternoon was identified to-day as that of Ferdinand Serganani, an Italian, fl years old, a foreman by occupation. Two Italians, named John James and Michael Plavine, friends of Serganani, identified him. They said he had been missing for a month, and, learning of the murder, determined to see the man. Serganani had been in this country for seventeen years. At the Coroner's office this morning Cohen, the newsboy, who claimed to have seen the murderer a moment af- ter shooting leave the hallway where the body was found, failed to identify Manning, who was arrested on suS- picion last night as the man he saw, though he thought he might be. The police are inclined to the belief that Serganani committed suicide.
 Frederick Fischer, court interpreter in Judge Monell's court, called at the Coroner's office this afternoon and stated that he was standing in front of 73 Park row Tuesday about 3:45 o'clock. waiting for car. He suddenly heard the report of pistol, and, turn ing around, saw a man sitting on the steps leading to the upper floors of the Hitler building. A pistol dropped from the mans hand and he fell back dead. Just then young man who was pass ing rushed into the hallway, and pick ing mp the pistol, exclaimed: lies gone.' He then started for the door, dropped the pistol and disappeared.

YELLOW FEVER.
People of Jacksonville Encouraged by the
 Slow Progress. of the Plague.

JACKSONVILLE. FLA. Aug. 2.-Up to D. m. today four new cases ofyel- low fever have been reported and one death, |. W. Dixon, a watchman. The slow progress of the epidemic and it's mildness greatly encourages the people. The fight is brayely kept up against the enemy, and the people work together with will. The sani. tary force is still large, and is kept busily at work all the while. Every portion of the city is gone over time and time again, and disinfectants in large quantities are very freely used. People living in the blocks where the local centres of infection are known to be, are moving into other sections of the city. and this will certainly prove very seryiceable in stopping the fever s progress.
 The Lafayette House, where Mrs. McClelland died, has been thoroughly fumigated and cleansed, and as MT. McClellaud has shown no signs Of the fever, he will be allowed to go to-mor- row. The patients this noon, with the exception of Jack HowaTth and Vim. 8tdAHll hltllAAL, anu 1IOA W AAto and Tom Marshall are doing well. They will probably be discharged to- morrow. The additional accommoda- tions now being made at the Sand Hills have been sorely needed, and Dr. Mitchell feels that with their eomple- tion hi. work will be far easier. Forty additional patients will thus be pro yided for. and there will be better rooms for suspects, an office for the doctor, commissary department, etc. Nurses have been provided in abund- ance, and if the doctors don't all get sick the patients here can rely on being well treated.
 A great commotion was caused this afternoon by report that the Savan- nah, Florida and Western Railroad had refused to take passengers from this point even on through tickets to Northern points where towns had ill., yited refugees from this city to go. On investigation it was found to be true. Only a mail car left to-day. One passengr was put off the train at La Villa Junction, as the conductor said that he had orders not to allow a single passenger to leave on the train. No express North nor any other pack age will be taken. It cannot be ascer- tained here as yet who is responsible | for this new rule. Not only are through passengers prohibited. but all | persons intending to go to the quar- l antine station at Cologne are not per mitted to go on the trains. This will ] kindle blaze here in Jacksonville as soon as the people become fully cogni-
 zant of the matter. A mass-meeting | will probably be called in the morning,

PIERRE, DAK., August 26.-The re- port of the arrest and confinement of John Grass was confirmed to-day by the arrival of Agent McCiesney, Of Cheyenne Agency. The arrest is made on account of his int m m'dation of In- dians who were desirous Of sign ng the treaty. and the confinement of t1is obstTefjsfons ..rcd will have much to do toward making tIe work of the Commissioners a success, iBasmueh as he is the leader of the oppos ton, and has even teen down into Chel enne Agency trying t0 work up revolt Meshesney sags his Indians are not bitterly 0pTo ed t0 the measure, and the snecess the Commissioners meet with at Crow Greek will Irobably in fiuence their act on.

A BLOODY TRAGEDY.
Capt. Nat Kinney, Chief of the Bald
 knobbers, Killed.

Knobbers Killed.
 SPRINGFIELD. Mo. August 26.-An- other terrible tragedy growing out Of the late Bald Knob troubles has just been enacted in Christian County. Capt. Nat Kinney, the famous chief and founder of the Bald Knob organi- ration, was last night shot and in- stantly killed at Ozark, by Bill Niles, an anti. Bald Knobber. Miles es- caped and although pursued by an angry mob of fifty of kinney's warm est supporters, has not yet been cap tured. Reliable particulars of the tragedy have been received, but the correspondent informant states that for more than two years Kinney and Miles had been at Daggers point.
 The feud originally arose ill the troublesome times when Kinney was chief of the outlaw band and reigned the hills of Christian County with a rod of iron. Mills was bitter in his denunciaton of the organization and when the law took hand in the set tlement of the troubles, he was most active in hunting evidence against members of the band. Saturday, the men attended Republican rally at Ozark and remained over Sunday and yesterday. They quarreed once, but trouble was ayerted. and the friends of
 both tried tbget them out of town.
 Both refused to go and the town
 people looked for bloodshed, and they
 were not disappointed. Late at night the men met and the Bald-knobber
 troubles were taken up and discussed
 by them. The argument grew into
 another quarrel, and suddenly both
 men drew their reyolyers. Both men fired at about the same time, but Miles was triie the quickest and his
 ball was sent crushing through Kin
 ney's brain. The giant Bald knobber staggered, and then fell dead, with his | brains and blood forming p0ol ! around him.
 Another report is that Kinney was | shot from ambush but men who know | Miles call him square man, not capable of such cowardly act. h. tense excitement prevails i'll the | vicinity of the murder and bloOodshed | is feared. as Kinney has an almost un- | dilllllOho III b4lt 4AAA1- AAAACh :
 the rough people there he was king,
 and his kindly acts to men of his kind | had endeared him to them.
 | His word was law, and the death of
 their chief will not go unayenged. A message has been sent to Harrison, | Ark, for blood hounds to track the | murderer, and the horrible scenes that l will folloy have probably never been | equalled in the Bald Knob hills.
 | A late message from Ozark confirms | the killing of Capt. Kinney and the | reports of the terrible excitement there. | Capt. Kinney, the murdered chieftain, stood 6 feet inches in his stocking | feet and weighed 200 pounds. He was the founder of the organization, and | from the fall of 1881 to the spring of 1887, was king of the boldest band of outlaws that ever disgraced the South
 west. His first individual murder was the killing of Andrew Coghorn at a | church near Ozark on Sunday, March | F, 1886. After this repeated outrages | and crimes were charged to him and | his death is received with joy by the | anti-Knobt CTS. and with feelings bor- dering on frenzy by members of the | old band.
