THE DEATH ROLL.

Alarming Progress of Yellow Fever at
Ja"ksonville-Unscrup Politicians.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. S.-Reperts
heretofore without confirmation that vel
low fever was raging at McClenhy on the
Florida Railway & Navigation Company's
road, thirty miles west of the CITY, were
confirmed yesterday. About twenty five
cases have been reported from there as
dengue fever, but there have been three or
four deaths, it is claimed, from malaral
fever, McClenny is town of 200 or 400
persons and the county seat of Baker
County. Montgomery, Ala, has quaran-
tined against it.
The committee on depopulation COM
pleted the census of the city yesterday
and reported the total population remain
ing at 13,511-whites, 3,945; colored, 9,S12;
unwilling to leave, 10,375, mostly colOred
people; with means of self f-support, 1865;
without means, s,495; refusing to answer
as to means, 1880. 1t is expected that two
or three thousand will leave in ten or
twelve days. The complete depopulaton
of the city is impossible, and those with
out means can hardly be provided for in
the refugees camps under month or six
weeks, during which time it is feared the
epidemic will have done its work and hun
are 10th to leaye, being told by politicians
that they will lose their votes by change
of residence.
Seventy new cases were reported
to the Board of Trade yesterday for the
twenty four hour ended at six p. m. There
were eight deaths from yellow fever dur
ing the same period. Among the prostra-
tions by fever are Hon. II. A. Lengle,
cashier of the State Bank of Florida and
chairman of the committee of sanitation
of the the citizens association, who had
worked indefatigably since the outbreak
Of the fever. The roll of deaths is as fol-
lows: DIR. Cone Williams, prominent
druggist; NJ. A. Brotherton, clerk for
Kohn, Furchott & Co.; Mrs. Herrick, the
third of her family Mrs. Davenport, colored,
A.C. Oswald, NJ. G. Cliggott and Mrs. Wash
ington, colored The total number of cases
to date is oil; total deaths, 60. DIR. G.
Walton, druggist, died from what was
reported as bilious remittent fever, and
Miss Nellie Rogers, manager of the Singer
Sewing Machine Company, died after the
official list had closed. The infant child
of Mrs. Wolf died yesterday, but, it is
said, not from yellow fever, though the
whole family-the mother and eight chill
dren-have the disease, and one daughter
lied Thursday.

OFFICIALS DOUBTFUL.

The State Department Doubtful re gat ding
the ENpedieacy OF thu Ehinese Exclusion
Bit,
WASHINGTON, Sept. while not ex-
pressing themselves very loudly, there is
some doubt expressed by State Depart
ment officials concerning the propriety of
Congress pushing to its passage a bill such
as that now before the Senate, the Scott
Chinese exclusion measure, before this
Government has received official inferms
tion of the rejection of the treaty by the
Celestials,
"lt will lie particularly awkward for
u.s." said one of them TO a reporter this
morning, 'if we should learn that the
treaty has not been rejected after all.
There has been nothing official heard, you
know, and even Mini ster DENLY says that
he has no positive information 10 the
effect that the treaty has been re-
iected. All that has been re-
ceived is an unofficial, unauthori-
tative dispatch from London, and it is a
very slight thread on which to hang such
radical legislation as that of the Scott bill,
| can see why it may be forced,to ts pas.
sage, for, in view of coming events, neith.
er political party wants to object to such
an act, thereby jeopardizing some hope of
success. China would have good cause to
complain if the report of the rejection of
the treaty should prove false and the bill
should become law, notwithstanding the
fact that it might be argued that the bill
was an entirely domestic matter. 1t does
not seem exactly courteous to be in such
haste"

STUART, Neb., Sept. S.-Last winter Dick
Roach had charge of a farm belonging
to Andrew Lowe, near Long Pine, on
which there were some cattle, and during
the great blizzard of January - several
of them perlshed. Lowe claimed COM
pensaton, and when Roach left re-
tanned mower belonging to him.
Roach went to loves farm last night
and took the machine to the farm of a man
named Philbrick, where he was working.
This morning Lowe went to Philbrick's
farm with his son and attempted to take
the mower back. Roach protested and
drew his revolver on young Lowe, who
was rushing at him with an axe, when the
elder Lowe, stepping up behind his son
with pistol, fired. Roach returned the
fire without effect, and fell mortally
wounded. Both the Loves are in Jail.

The Tsa Of Some Words.

Pretty refers TO external beauty on
small scale. Grace of manners is natural
gift; elegance implies cultivation. Well
bred is referable to general conduct rather
than individual actions. Beautiful is tho
strongest word of its class, implying soft
ness and delicacy in addition TO every
thing that is in similar words Courtesy
has reference to others, politeness TO our
selves. The former is duty or privilege
to others, the latter is tehavior assumed
from proper self-respect Benevolent re-
fers to the character of the agent acting,
benehcent to the act performed. Charita-
BILE is restricted to aims giving except
when used in reference to Judgment OF
others Lovely is used only when there is
something more than external beauty,
when there is q combination Of personal
beauty and pleasing manner. Faultless
features do not make lady lovely who is
disagreeable in disposition.-JoGI1IdI Of
Education.

Bomb Found.

CHICAGO, Sept. s.-A bomb was found
yesterday afternoon by workman at
George Z. Kimball's glass house at the
corner of Wabash avenue and Congress
street behind some packing boxes next to
the wall. 1t was seven inches long and an
inch in diameter, with one end plugged
with brass, in which was a filled percus-
sion cap, the object of which was to ex-
plode the contents when thrown against
the ground or wall of house. The end OF
the missile was closed with metal. 1t was
taken to police headquarters and turned
over to Inspector Bonfeld. The greatest
secrecy was maintained in regard to it.

Harriet Beecher stowe.

New YORK, Sept. S.-The Tribune says:
"Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe is dying.
Some months ago she came to live at the
home of Rev. Charles Edward Stowe, at
North Haven, near Sag Harbor, l.. l.
About eight days ago congestion of the
brain set in and last night Mrs. Stowe lay
in a partially unconscious condition. There
is no hope of her recovery. Yesterday
the members of the family were called to
the sick woman's bedside. Mrs. Stowe is
now seventy seven years DID,"

The Prohibition Issue I'm Arkansas.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. ii. l.. Palmer, chair
man of the Arkansas Prohibition State

counties of Arkansas have gone against

deal TO do with the raid on ballot boxes at
the State capital. The returns carried
away were from precincts which gave
large Prohibition majorities.

Well and Truly Said.

The accusation is again made that
prohibition caused the recent double
tragedy at Jackson. This is another
injustice to the cause and fling at
those who advocate one of the great
est of moral questions. A mans zeal
in any cause ought to he proportion
ate to the good he sees in it and to the
intensity of the opposition which he
encounters. Because Mr.. Gambrell and
Mr.. Martin gagged theirs by this rule
and were afterwards slain, it is alleg-
ed that prohibition did it. No, pro-
hibition alone would not have brought
about any of this trouble. Arraign-
ing crooked official records is what
did the mischief. For a long time
high officials have been allowed to
pursue the even tenor of their some
times corrupt way, but change has
come and with it the usual attendant.

4 Crowded CITY.

Jackson was the scene of vast
gathering of people last week.
Wednesday the Democratic State
Convention met, Thursday the State
Immigration and Grass Growers con-
ventions followed, and on Friday the
corner stone Of the Confederate mon
ument was laid, which brought peo-
pie on excursions from every portion
of the State and literally delugcd the
Capital City with humanity, includ-
in half dozen of the best military
companies of the State. Then
the Spring opening of the State Fair
claimed a share of attention and ex-
tended from Tuesday to Friday in
elusive.
Mr. Davis, who was expected to
participate i'll the ceremonies of lay
ing the corner stone, failed on ac-
count Of feeble health to attend, but
was reprented 10y his lovely daughter,
Miss Winnie, 1.-the Child of the Con-
fedcracy, whom all delighted to hon
or. The site of the monument is in
the Capital yard. south of the State
House. The corner stone was laid by
Hon. NJ. VI. Evans, Master of the Ma
sonic Grand Lodge. \ letter of re-
gret was read from Mr.. Davis, and
Hon. G.. f.. Hooker delivered an
address appropriate to the occasion.
Mr.. Luther Manship read poem
written for the occasion by c. f. Mer-
rill. formerly of Mississippi, and Mrs.
Luther Manship, who is one of the
