Some Still Panic Stricken.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, August A.
The latest news from Tampa is to the
effect that there are four suspicious
cases of sickness there and three cases
of yellow fever being in the house in
which Waterman died a month ago.
Manatee has two cases, Plant City
one. st. Augustine is still widely
alarmed for some reason or other and
1000 persons have left there in the
last day or two. The feeling here is
better and quieter, as the disease
seems so mild.

A Negro Tragedy.

JACKSON, Miss, August IA. - A
tragedy at Utica, Sunday night, was
followed by lynching last evening.
E. B. Robertson, accompanied by a
young lady, were walking to church
Sunday evening, when they encoun-
tered six negroes on the side walk,
who instead of yielding the side walk
to the lady, pushed her in very rude
manner. Robertson demonstrated
and was cursed by the negroes, who
said they would get him on his return
by three or four of his friends and was
telling them of the conduct of the ne
groes, when his party was rushed up
on by the six negroes, who began fir
ing on the white the latter being un'
armed. DR.. l.. w. Holiday was shot
through the head and will die, Mr..
Mand, white, received serious wound
through his thigh, and Frank Wal
lace was shot in the arm.
All of the negroes escaped, eX-
cept Bob Born, the ringleader, who
it is known shot Holiday. He was
taken out of the calaboose last
evening by the mob, and strung up to
tree near the cemetary. Ike Broom,
brother of the negro who was lynch
ed, and Sam Harris were captured
and carried to the Raymond Jail.
Others are being pursued, and if
caught they may be lynched.

CATTLEBURG, Ky, August A.
There is trouble again in Pike county
between the Hatfields and McCoys.
Frank Phillips, sheriff of Pike county,
last week was out through the county
securing witnesses etc., and when in
the neighborhood of Better, the scene of
former bloody encounter, he
was approached by three men
who claimed to be detectives, and
who demanded his surrender. Phil
lips replied by whipping out
his revolver, and opening fire on the
trio. He shot the belt off one Alex
ander, well known here, and secured
his three revolvers. They retreated
minus their hats, weapons, etc. Next
day they returned with nine re-
cruits, in search of Phillips, and
his body guard and Westvirgis
were again repulsed. Sunday
a Hatfield squad to the number of
sixty, passed the mouth of Better
creek, and shortly afterward a
skirmish between the Hatfields and
McCOys took place, the latter being
As strong, and lying in wait for their
enemies. Three of the Hatfields were
killed, and two wounded, while three
of the McCoys were slightly wounded.

1t is we'll for our moral reformers,

common school for its deficiencies in

like droves of cattle on the way to and
from the school-house. If the critic
would follow the children from their
school hours through the rest of the
week, he would see that a majority,
oven in the best community, are never
under moral, sanitary, social and re-
fining influences so elevated AS in the
school-house. Nothing is gained by
such overstrained and one-sided pict-
ures of the defects of the character
training side Of the public schools as
we are often called to witness in our
educational gatherings. They do great
injustice to the teachers and schools,
and play into the hands of those malig-

PROLoNGING HIS LIFE.
Tho AIeth0siical Way In Which an Invalid
Outlived His Kin

A Boston merchant who lived and died on
Summer street was, according to the Bos-
ton Advertiser, q curious instance of one who
was an invalid from childhood, always ex-
tremely hypochondriacal, who never imag-
ined himself i'll when he was not, nor ex-
aggerated his actual illness, nor feared,
unduly, sickness or pain, or death itself.
But it was the business of his life to take
care Of his health, and he devoted himself
to this work with b wonderful assiduity.
He rode just SO far each day, when tho
weather was fair, and at such an hour. He
had q great variety Of clothing, which he
regulated with precision by the thermome-
ter, sometimes changing his dress many
times in a day, and selected for his over
clothes when he rode out the very garments
which the mercury indicated.
He had a weathercock put upon his stable
within fair view from his bedroom and
sitting g-room, and that and his thermometer,
and all possible or impossible signs OF the
weather, he was watching constantly, and
found in these occupations very agreeable
way of employing all his day and all his
days. How far his long life is 10 be st-
tributed to this excessive care 1t is impos-
isble to tell, but he outlived every brother
and sister, every brothers. wife, every
sisters husband, and his own wife, aud
died In 1887 at the age of eighty-one,

Ill pleased, she viewed

Contemptuous burned

Her tablet from her, then home returned.
