How the Panic Affects New Orlcnns-The
City Healthy.

How the Panic Affects New OrIcans-The
City Healthy.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 26.-For the past
four days the entire country between
New Orleans and Nashville and shreve-
port and Montgomery has been in state
Of panic scarcely describable.
The announcement that yellow fever
existed in Jackson, Miss, was immediate
Iy followed by quarantine against that
place by every town and hamlet in the
section above bounded. In some places
the entire male population turned out
with shotguns TO drive away refugees.
This state OF panic reached its climax
yesterday, by which time many trains
had been abandoned and commnnica.
tiOns between the various localities was
entirely out OF the question. People left
their homes in great numbers, fleeing
from imaginary danger, most OF them
seeking refuge north Of the Ohio.
New Orleans has suffered somewhat
from the panic because OF the Interrupt
ton OF travel and the movement OF
freight, and the feeling that II a single
case OF fever occurred here all avenues
OF trade would be closed to the city.
Otherwise ii has not been affected.
There has been no rush TO get out OF the
city. On the contrary, the movement
has been the other way, owing to the
large number now returning from their
summer outing and others who have
come home to prevent being quaran-
tined. The city continues healthy and
every precaution is taken to prevent
communication with Jackson, Decatur
and other infected points in Florida.
Confidence is felt that the vigilance OF
the health authorities will prove effec-
tive. This feeling was well illustrated
by the course Of the stock market yes
terday. When the fever at Jackson was
announced last Friday there was a heavy
decline in active local stocks, but yester-
day there was sharp reaction all along
the line and the market closed at top
figures.
The Times Democrats Jacksonville spe-
cial says: The nurses occupy q good
portion Of attention on account OF the
bad character OF some. A case in point
occurred this morning. A white woman
nursed a member OF the Whitney family
with such success and decorum that she
was recommended by DR.. Vanwood to
anotherpatient. Drawing small sum OF
money on account she expended it in
drink, and one OF her patients
relapsed. She was arrested dead drunk
and placed in Jail. P. D. Wade, from
New Orleans, and Charles L. Deiern,
from Detroit, both telegraph operators,
have arrived. Deiern has had yellow
fever three times in Memphis. v. G..
Sherarer, an operator, is smiling over
the arrival Of fine boy. His associate
operators suggest that the boy should
be named "Jack,"

Is the Panic and Frightit Causes
all Over the South.
THE YELLOW FEVER COUNTRY
Under u Reign of Terror-The En-

out with shotGuns-A Spree
Mistaken for the Fever

ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 26.-The damage
which the South is suffering from sense
less panics and insane quarantines is fai
greater than the injury which has fol.
lowed in the wake of the yellow fevel
scourge itself.
For no cause whatever, towns, vii
lages and even cities close their gates to
the entire world and tear up the rail-
road tracks to prevent the railroads from
bringing trains through, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the railroads offer to
pass through such towns at breakneck
speed and not allow a human being to
get on or of.
A person is taken sick in town in
the morning. 1t gets out that the symp-
toms are identical with those OF yellow
fever, aud before night stampede has
relieved the town OF almost every citi.
zen. Towns around hear OF the panic,
exaggerate the circumstances greatly,
and the consequence is that every town,
hamlet, village and city within o radius
OF hundred miles ut once goes into a
strict quarantine. Sometimes it as an
orderly quarantine, and sometimes Il is
a shotgun mob that guards the town,
and person takes his life into his hand
when he undertakes to travel in sucll
localities.
There is absolutely little orno connec-
ton with the West from here. Travel is
rendered impossible to all points in Mis-
sissippi, and about the only route open
from here is to Alabama by the way OF
Montgomery and when you reach that
point your Journey is about at an end,
as almost every little town in Alabama
is under strick quarantine regulations.
Where Lave the people gone who have
fed from Decatur? Everywhere-any-
where they can get to in the shortest
time. A great many have gone to Trim
ity Mountain near by, and are camping
out under tents and in cabins. Two or
three grocery stores have been removed
from Decatur to the mountains, and it is
a new city out there. They are living
in Gread OF the fever and seem
to be- wild with excitement. There are
about six hundred people OF Decatur on
Trinity Mountain.

polygnmlst Brown Convicted.

CHICAGO, Sept. ga dispatch from
Detroit says: About fifteen of the thirty
three women who were married to James
w. Brown, the champion benedict since
1888, confronted him in the Recorders
Court yesterday afternoon. The list OF
victims included Helen Brownlee and
Annie Winters, Of Chicago. The jury
agreed with her evidently for they took
but four minutes to find him guilty and
sentence was deferred to allow the court
to investigate Browns career further.
j. w. Brown, convicted OF bigamy
yesterday, was sentenced this afternoon
TO four years and six months in the
penitentiary. Seven OF the thirty-three
women he Is alleged to have married APP
peared against him as witnesses.

SOME VERY FRANK TALK
In the Senate Yesterday by Mr..
George, Of Mississippi,
THE WHITES OF MISSISSIPPI
Propose "to Continue the Struggle
Mt all Evcnts"-Thc Bnl to Pro-
vide for National Inquests
Serves us His Text.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 2G.-In tht
Senate to-day the bill reported by Mr.
Hoar on the 9Th of February last, "tc
provide for inquests under nationa
authority" was taken up, and Mr.
George proceeded to address the Senate
on the subject.
Mr.. George said that he spoke under
full sense of the great responsibility
resting on him as au American Senator,
charged with the high duty OF promot.
ing the general welfare OF all sections
and all citizens, and charged also with
the no less high trust Of repelling unjust
implications cast upon the people whose
commission he held as member of the
Senate.
After a review OF the origin and his
tory OF African slavery and OF the causes
leading up to the civil war, he said that
he did not wish to be understood as say
ing that the South had Just cause for
secession, or that the Interpretation
which she had placed on the constitution
was correct, or as admitting the contrary.
What his opinions we're, was well known
to those with whom he associated.
Nor would he say which OF the sec
tons had fred the first gun and precipi-
tated the war. War had been certain,
as certain as the decree OF fate; and war
came. 1t had been no petty insurrec-
ton, no conflict even between organized
military forces; but the mighty struggle
OF peoples and States. With what valor,
heroism and devotion the soldiers OF the
Union met, was attested by the monu-
ments erected to them everywhere
throughout the land.
The necessities OF that war had
brought out the Southern soldier, whose
endurance, selt.sacriice aud heroic for.
titude had never been surpassed in all
the long ages since men learned to kill
each other in war. But the South could
not succeed against fate ); it went down
before irresistible numbers, and was left
to commence the world anew.
In conclusion, he declared that he
had, no other aspiration, no other wish,
than to contribute all in his power 70
the progress and welfare OF every Sec
ton and every part OF the Union, and
he earnestly desired his own section
and his own State to participate in that
progress. He never would surrender
the hope that that participation would
be accorded by the people OF the North.
At all events, the white people OF Mis-
sissippi meant to carry on the struggle
for the preservation OF their civilization,
for their own safety and welfare and for
Just equality in the Government.
The bill went over without action.
Mr.. Daniels addressed the Senate on
the resolution to refer the Presidents
message. He said that the Democracy
had written on its banner UNNECESSARY
taxation is unjust taxation" and in that
sign it would conquer or fall.

honor Of the visit OF Postmaster General
Dickinson, Hon. John @. Black, ex-
Senator Joseph L. Mcdonald and other
distinguished guests, .
Ats o'clock the parade, composed Of
numerous ward clubs, first voters, visit
ing delegations, ETC., was reviewed from
the balcony OF the Russell house, and
then the guests were driven to the
Larned street rink, where they were
greeted by an audience that filled every
Inch Of available space. The rink was
finely decorated.
Postmaster General Dickinson was the
first speaker. He said he had nnnx-
pectedly been called upon to preside at
this great meeting. He had told the
committee OF arrangements that 1t would
be unjust to the other guests for him to
make any extended remarks. He would
be in Michigan two weeks during the
campaign and all his friends would have
the opportunity OF hearing him on the
issues 81 the campaign. The committee,
however, had insisted that he should
say something about the President, and
this he would proceed to do, His speech
