FIGHTING YELLOW JACK.
Firing Cannon and Burning Tar
at Jacksonville.
Physicians and People working Like spar.
taus to Stay the Disease.


JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 1b.--The sit.
uation this morning makes tho doctors
smile, and the people here q deal better
pleased. Up to eleven last night there
were only three new cases, two coming
from the original source Of oil the trouble.
No new cases or deaths reported to-day
up to $50 O'Clock, and the people are tex.
ing In a long breath. The physicians now
admit that tho diagnoses Of some Of the
So called yellow-fever patients were
wrong, and tomorrow corrected list will
be issued. This will state that altogether
there have not been over twelve
cases here. kilograms are pouring In
from all quarters offering aid Of
every kind, and Jacksonville foolingly no.
knowlcdges the kindness shown. The
weather is cooler this evening and more
favorable to fighting the disease. Last
night Wilson's Battery, with flvc guns,
bombarded the microbes and germs, and
all hope with good effect. Very heavy
charges Of powder were used. Five guns
d. were sent over from st. Augustine on
special train, but they did not arrive In
time for us last night. In fact no one
seems to know whore they were. The two

should have reached here Sunday evening,
have not yet put In their appearance,
Perhaps they are somewhere on the
line Of the railroad. If by the
merest accident they should. reach
here TO day there will then be
ten guns on hand, which will enable those
having the matter In charge to pursue tho
experiment In various portions OF the city
at the Same time, and II Is probable that
the experiment will be kept up Cor several
evenings and mornings. The battery was
out again at o'clock this morning for an
hour, shooting, and hereafter from 8 to o.
M. and from to 0 p. m, sun timo. Great
numbers Of tar fires were burned In va.
rious portions Of the city last night while
the conclusion was going on, and very
many moro will be going tonight, 80 that
with the smoke from the powder and tar
the city will be pretty well enveloped to-
night. The air now Is completely
impregnatod with its fumes. Nearly
everybody Is preparing to burn tar to-
night, and IN this way aid as far as they
can the earnest work Of those who ore
striving so hard and resorting TO every
means In their power to stamp out tho dis
case now prevailing In the city. At special
meeting Of the city council $4,000 was APP
propriated for the Relief Committee. The
police force Is being Increased, as 1t Ia
found that some trouble may occur from
thieves, as nearly all the negroes here, save
those employed clearing up, are idle and
have no money. II plundering once begins,
there will bp some sharp work with any
caught at 1t, as the people hero now mean
business, revolvers and shotguns being q
portion Of every mans toilet articles.

PARxERsnuRa, w. VA, Aug. 19.-Mr.
Samuel Bebbia, OF Pond Creek, jackson

had bcen In tho habit of working. When
Bebbie got close enough to catch tho ami
NAL by tho horns 1t suddenly turned and
tossed him into the air. He fell twenty
feet distant, whom the bull rushed after
him and goyed him In the side. The boy
who had accompanied Bcbbie fortunately
was armed with heavy club with
which he succeeded in beating OF tho bull.
Henry Bobbie, son Of Samuel, concluded
to subdue the animal, but was himself
tossed and gored terribly, and would have
been killed outright but for the opportune
arrival Of ten or twelve mon, who were
armed with clubs and pltch.forks. They
attracted his attention long enough for
him TO toss one Of their number clear over
the fence, knock down several others, and
to scatter the crowd. At last accounts
none Of the injured men wore dead.
