A TERRIBLE STATE
OF Affairs In Florida Town From the
Yellow Fever.

OF Affairs In = Florida Town From the
Yellow Fever.
CHICAGO, September 6 "A special from
st. Augustine, Fla, says letter has been
received in this city disclosing Q terrible
state of affairs in the town of Bayard, Q
small settlement on the line of the Jack
sonville and st. Augustine Railroad, about
twenty miles north of here. VIM. Orth-
gus, the son Of farmer living at Sampson,
about five miles from Bsyard, had occasion
to visit the latter place. On nearing the
settlement he was attracted by q strong
stencil, eminating from the vicinity of q
house supposed to be vacant. Through
curiosity he hitched his horse and pro-
ceeded to investigate. On reaching the
house q ghsstly spectacle met his eyes.
Stretched upon q couch was the body of
woman and in the same room were
the bodies Of five children. They had evi-
IDENTIFY been dead for several days. The
10y, on realizing the horror of the scene,
fled precipitately, and mounting his horse,
rode back to his home and told the start
ling story to his parents. As st. Augustine
is strictly quarantined against Bsyard and
that vicinity, the news did not reach here
until several days after the occurrence.
The country people are horror-stricken,
and even if it were known that any one
was occupying the house, it is unlikely
that any one of them could have been in
duced to 90 near it if he knew there was
case of yellow fever. 1t is supposed that
the unfortunates were refugees from Jack
sonville, and were stricken with the fever
after leaving the town.

special TlSorGR to ne Register.
NEW YORK, September 6.-The old
Roman is not an early riser under ordi-
nary circumstances, and he usually does
not get up before eleven o'clock, but to-
day he got up before ten.
A short time after rising, his grnsd-
SOD, Allen c., called upon him. They
then had breakfast. Judge Thurman to-day
received very few callers, and only those
who were among his own personal friends
or prominent members of the Democratic
National Committee. Among those who
called were the Hons. L. NJ. Barlow, Gen.
Fullerton, of ST. Louis; Augustus Belmont,
W. w. Armstrong, editor of the Cleveland
Plaindealer, and Mr.. ". Hill Fowler. The
newspaper men buzzsd around his apart
ments like bees, but he refused to see any
of them, on the ground that he desired to
be comfortably rested for to-night's speesi.
When asked to-day how he felt he re-
piled you can see for yourself. am not
only looking well but feel so TOO. My
hOarseness is all gone, and I am able for
tO-night's emergency. l still, however,
have to be careful and have determined to
remain in doors all day.
They arranged, however, to give him q
ride in Central Park, bat the weather Was
so cold that this part of it was abandoned.
The Fifth Avenue Hotel was crowded sll
day with prominent politicians and leading
merchants, anxious to meet Judge Thur
man. The police arrangements, however,
we're perfect, and no one could get near
him. At the foot of the main stairway in
the hotel were two big policemen, and a
squad of eight more were scattered around
the lower flcor of the hotel and outside to
preserve order.
Judge Thurman was busy sll the after
noon preparing his speech. At about bait
past three, he was, however, taken with a
severe attack of indigestion. Tonight,
however, he said he wss all right, and
though he did not feel strong enough to
make an extensive speech, yet he would
90 and say something.
