ness illegally and must be wound up.
Complaint against the association was
made by Attorney-General Hunt in an
information which contained forty
charges The most serious charge was
that the association admitted infants
to membership. and other allegations
were made which placed the company
in the light of a deathbed insurance

NO SMALLPOX IN FERNANDINA,
SO Says tho Rev. W. j. powell.


FRRNANDINA, FLA, Oct. 3-Editor
Morning Netps: In your issue of Oct. /, the
correspondent from Jacksonville referred
to rumors of smallpox from Fernandina,
stating also that they had not been denied,
Allow me to say that such rumors are
utterly false. 1t seems impossible for sucn
report to have originated here, for we
never even dreamed of local liar of such
magnitude being in our midst This is not
the first instance, however, where efforts
have been made by tIeacherous and I'M
scrupulous enemies to injure this city. 1t is,
indeed, a sad commentary on the spirit of the
times when such malicious prevar cation is
INDUCED. | would say further, that the vel
low fever Developments in Fernandina have
Teen of such a mild character as TO inspire
considerable skepticism here. Many per
sons are daily contrasting e present cpl
Gemlc with that which visited the place In
1871. In this connection we offer the fol-
loving suggestions: We all know that GER
tain conditions act ei her for or against the
di ease of yellow fever. We are informed
that in 1877 the city was very uncIean.
During the present year everything
has been done 10 conserve and pre-
serve excellent sanitary regulations, and
Fernandina was never in liner condition
than 1t is to-day. The difference betw cen
these epidemics is thus far explained.
Again we are informed that in 1877, I'M
mediateiy upon the announcement of yellow
fever in Fernandina, rigid guarantees
We're generally enforced, precluding the
usual exodus. In the present year many
were frightened away by the fever III Jack
sonville, and in their state of nervous ex-
element at every death occurring here
others went, so that when yellow lever was
declared, the city was almost
depopulated. Hence the second reason
is furnished why the epidemic
is not more extensive. We are all more or
less impressed with the fact of yellow fever
being in Fernandina, but it is my candid
opinion, that under its present fnlili form,
but for our close proximity TO Jacksonville,
and had the fever prevailed at remote
point, like Key West, for instance, We
would have passed through our present.
epidemic free from alarm.

From the RGil,0ay Press.
Few of the outside public can have any
idea of the enormous cost of getting a rail-
way bill through parliament.
The parliamentary surveying, and en-
cheering costs of the Kendall & Winder-
mere Co., amounted to trifle over 2 per
cent on the whole expenditure on the line
OF parliamentary costs the Brighton Rail
way averaged "a 500 per mile; Manchester
and Birmingham, 95, 100; Blackwell, 414,-
Ala. These figures are almost beyond
belief, when we consider that some English
lines in favorable positions cost altogether
only 10000 per mile The Brighton line
for two sessions fought desperate battle
against several other companies, and when
its bill came before the committee the ex-
penses of counsel and witnesses amounted
TO over Ell, 900 day, and the discussion Of
the measure lasted fifty days.
The solicitors bill of the Southeastern
railway contained 10. 900 folios, occupying
twelve months in taxation, and amounted
to e240,0O0. One company found such diff
Guilty in getting their bill through its pre-
liminary stages that at last, when they had
reached the long -deshed last stage, they had
already spent nearly million of money,
and this simply for obtaining the privilege
Of making the railway. or the terrible
costs which have been incurred only to lead
to ultimate failure one instance will be suf-
fcient The discussion upon the Stone and
Rugby bill lasted sixty-six sitting days,
from February till August, 1889; and in the
year 1910 the measure was defeated, after
having resulted in loss of 9l46, 900 to its
unhappy promoters
Ii is needless to say that such enormous
expenditure cripples many railway, and
prevents its shareholders from ever earning
good dividends. The ceaseless energy, un-
firing perseverance, and neat diplomacy
which have 70 be shown in pushing a rail-
way bill to a successful issue are almost be
yond belief but it is much to be desired
that some means should be discovered of
keeping down the expenses which so often
go far to ruin line even before it has be-
gun working.
