he fell a victim later on.
The Epening Metropolis tells the follow

this city, Herman Damon, clerk at Marvin,
Denham q Co. s. would now probably be
in his grave, a victim to neglect and vel
low fever. Mr.. Damon lives in LaVilla,
in the same house where Rev. Mr.. Barbour
died, and he was very much op-
pressed by the latter's death, so much
SO that his friends in his neighborhood
were afraid thht he too might become ILL.,
Saturday night, as Mr.. Paxon. who is in
charge of LiJtlefield & Steers candy factory
in this city, was going home, he saw a light
i'll Mr.. Damon's room, and thinking he
might be lonesome, called to invite him to
dinner Sunday. On going to the
door and knocking and receiving
no answer, Mr.. Paxton pushed it
open, and hearing weak voice from
Mr.. Damon's room, went up stairs and
found him in bed with very high fever
and not soul to attend to his wants. Sec
ing the condition of the sick man, Mr..
Paxon went home, prepared some warm
orange leaf tea, and returning, gave it to Mr..
Damon to drink, covered him up and then
went for d doctor. When the latter ar
rived the patients temperature was found
to be 104', and the medical man Immediately
advised that Mr. Damon be sent out to
the Sand Hills at once, for if they waited
until morning it would be impossible to
move him. Mr.. Paxon thereupon got a
carriage and, wrapping Mr.. Damon up
carefully, he was taken out to the hospital,

BOSWORTH'S DOODLE.
Overdrafts on Pay Day the Scheme by
Which He Got the Money.

Overdrafts on Pay Day the Scheme by
Which He Got the Money.
FALL RIVER, MASS, Oct. 8.-Twenty
thousand dollars is now stated to be the
amount Of money taken from the Stafford
mills by A. E. Bosworth, the defaulting
treasurer. An examination of the books
is not yet complete, but it is not believed
that the defalcation will exceed that
amount Bosworth's peculations appear to
have been confined to the payrolls which
required $500 TO pay off weekly. and
Bosworth would draw $3.50 or $4,000 and
appropriate the overdraft. AS he had full
control of the books, and accounts were not
audited, he was able to carry this on for
years without detection. 1t is now found
that ON leaving his house ON Tuesday aftor-
noon last he went to livery stable and was
driven to the Bowenville depot, where he
took the o'clock train for Boston
Since then no trace of him
has been found and he has not sent any
word to his family. Tonight opinion
inclines to the belief that lie went to
Canada 1t is still believed that he did not
have large amount of money with him
when he left. To-day circulars were sent
to the subscribers to the new stock asking
them to report the subscription paid in.

SHOT DOWN IN A sANoTUiI.
An Editor and Two other Men At
tackled at Admission.

ADMISSION, ALA, Oct. S.-About 2:3O
o'clock this afternoon an attempt was made
to assassinate w. II. Edmonds, editor Of
tho Hot Blast, in his office. The trouble
grew out of enmity aroused among the
lawless class in consequence of the vigor-
GUS war waged by the paper in favor of
rigid enforcement of the prohibition laws.
A week ago four ex-policemen who he'd
been discharged for inetficiency waylaid

on him and beat him severely, Mr.. Ed

An outrageous account of the affair was
sent to the Montgomery Dispatch. reflect
ing seriously upon Mr.. Ednlonds, who re-
piled through the Dispatch. pronouncing
the author a liar, and charging him wit
cowardice in sending forth such falsehood
unsigned. II. was developed that the cor
respondent was j. S. Lawrence, Justice
of the peace. This afternoon Lawrence,
accompanied by win Lacey, entered the
Hot Blast office, in which at the time were
Mr.. Edmonds, John Chappell, the mailing
clerk, and A. Tripney, who had come in on
business.
CALLED OUTSIDE.
Lawrence called Mr.. Edmonds outside,
where some conversation was had in refer
ence to the communication, and Lawrence
demanded retraction of Mr.. Edmonds'
card pronouncing him liar. Mr.. Edmonds
said there was nothing to retract, when
Lawrence advanced toward him. Lacey
inquired II MIR. Edmonds was armed, TO
which a negative reply was made, when
Lacey said: Neither is Lawrence" at the
same time trying to get behind Mr.. Ed
monds, who began to back into his Office.
FIRE OPENED UPON HIM.
AS he partially turned, fire was opened
upon him. He was shot in the left arm at
the elbow and seriously wound. Lacey
attempted to shoot again, but bis pistol
snapped, which probably saved Mr. Ed
monds life. The wouldbe assassin then
fired on Messrs. Chappell and Tripley. The
former was shot through the neck, and the
latter received two wounds in the head,
both of which are serious.
THE DEsPERADoEs CAPTURED.
Lawrence and Lacey escaped, but were
subsequently captured and turned over to
the sheriff on state warrants and taken to
Jacksonville, Ala
The feeling in the city is intense, and
strong talk of lynching has been indulged
in. Never were the people more thoroughly
aroused. The cowardly attempt at assas-
sination is most bitterly condemned.
EDMoNDs DOING WELL.
Mr.. Edmonds is doing well and it is
hoped that no serious results will follow his
wounds.
The shooting of Messrs. Chappell and
Tripley was malicious and unprovoked.
A meeting Of citizens will be held to-
morrow, when a plan of action will be
decided upon to rid the city of these desper-
adoes
Tonight the city is in tumult of excite
ment and indignation.
Lawrence's report to the Dispatch is uni

CONGRESS TO THE RESCUE.
The Bill to Establish Camps of Refuge
Fsyorably Reported.

SONN-
WASHINGTON, Oct. SIN the House
to-day, among the bills introduced and re-
ferred was one by Mr.. Dougherty of Flor
ida, appropriating 100000 to suppress
infection in interstate commerce of tn g
United States.
Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama to-day reported
favorably to the House from the committee
on expenditures in the treasury department
the bill appropriating $500,000 to establish
camps for yellow fever refugees The bill
authorizes the President to establish camps
of refuge in designated localities; to furnish
supplies to the camps, and to destroy camp
equipage after the disappearance of an cpl
demic The committee in its report
says that the object to be accomplished
by the proposed bill is of the most urgent
and gravest importance to the whole people
of the United States. By a visitation of
divine Providence q yellow fever scourge
made its appearance in q comparatively
small community in Florida, whence it has
spread to other localities with the result of
creating at numerous other places such dire
apprehensions as to induce the establish
ment of rigid quarantine regula-
tions, SO ruthlessly. enforced as to
expose many Of our citizens
to the charge of inhumanity. While the
generous must deplore, few can be found so
unreasonable as to censure these desperate
measures of protection against the plague
As a consequence of these severe measures
the citizens of any locality where yellow
fever makes its appearance must be exposed
to great sufferings beside those resulting
from the disease, many of them being de-
prived of the opportunity to purchase neces-
sary provisions, even when able to pay for
them. The committee is of the opinion
that the bill cannot fail to mitigate these
ills by the establishment Of camps in which
persons fleeing from the scourge may be
collected and properly cared for; he spread
of the disease arrested by their isolation,
and proper medical certificates issued to
persons leaving the camp.

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-District Assembly No.
"a, knights of Labor met last night to take
action ON the North Side strike. The con-
ductors and drivers of the North Side are
in the district controlled by No. "a. The

authorize the employment of forty omni-
buses for use this morning, to be manned
by striking drivers and conductors, and to
make regular trips on the North

during the day, and a change OF men.
They will run until late at night. The men
say they are determined that the travelling
public shall not be Inconvenience If it is
in their power TO prevent it.
TO AVOID VIOLENCE.
A resolution was unanimously adopted
recommending the leaders OF the strikers to
keep all their men away from barns, power
rooms and Offices of the company, and in
no manner W whatever to attempt to interfere
y ith the lawful efforts Of the street car
officials 10 run their cars, IL they were able
to do so. Another resolution was adopted
fully sustaining the strikers and promising
them the support Of the various assemblies
of the district until victory was assured.
CARS STARTED.
As was promised Saturday, cars were
started this morning over the North Side
lines. At 7:30 o'clock this morning six
open cars, drawn by horses and manned by
about a dozen policemen each, left the city
limits car barns destined for the business
center. The cars, which we're run in q
bunch, preceded by q patrol wagonload of
policemen. we're not molested by the 200 or
300 strikers and onlookers gathered around
the barns.
NO DISORDER.
The down trip was made successfully
without any mishaps TO speak Of, although
the cars were somewhat hampered by a
crowd Of vehicles which took up the track.
At $3.50 o'clock Washington street, the
North Side terminus of the horse car line,
was reached ana the cars started on their
return trip Cars were also started from
several of the other North Side barns but
none Of them were patronized by the public
to any great extent
BETTER PATRoNIzED.
Later in the day the cars carried con-
siderable number of passengers, for as pub
lie confidence increased, the seats were bet
ter filed. There was no Ifoting or conflicts
of any kind. The new men were called
''scabs," )" and hooted at by the crowds which
lined the streets, but beyond that there was
no trouble. Many of the new men were
captured by the strikers, who succeeded in
inducing them to quit and go home, the
strikers paying their fares If they lived at
distant points.

CHINESE AT THE GATE.
Two Steamers Reach Frisco with 426
Almond-Eyed Immigrants.


Almond-Eyed Immigrants.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8.-The Pacific
mail steamship Belgic, which arrived from
Hong Kong and Yokohama yesterday, has
176 Chinese on board, including two women
and one child. All Of the Cinnamon, with
the exception OF fifteen, whose destination
is Panama, have custom house return GER
tificates.
The Canadian Pacific steamer Duke Of
Westminster, which also arrived yesterday,
brings 250 Chinese.
The number brought by the Belgic is
much smaller than would have been brought
here on that vessel had there not been con-
siderable talk in China before it left about
the probability Of Chinese passengers not
being able to land when they reached here.
The officers on the steamer say that some
such law as the exclusion act has been ex-
pected in China. and this anticipation exer-
cised a deterrent influence in Hong Kong
on the exodus Of Chinese.
