infection by which diseases often become
epidemic. So the mem bers OF the Missis-
sippi Valley Association unanimously de-
clared in st. Louis recently. In the
matter of yellow fever they declared in a
series Of well considered and carefully
prepared resolutions that that disease is
not contagious except in an atmosphere
containing germs, and that therefore the
clothing and effects Of persons from infected
districts should be burned and the owner
reimbursed from the public funds. The
National Government can alone undertake
as thorough measure OF prevention rs
this. 1t has the authority and can best
support the machinery necessary TO its &C.
complainant. When Congress meets
again in December il should be the special
care Of the Southern members Of that body
TO press TO an early passage bill for this
purpose.

COL PATTERSON'S SPEECH.


1t is gratifying to know that the au-
dience that greeted Col Josiah Patterson
last night was representative one, that II
was largely made up OF the solid men Of
Memphis, the men of influence and OF
mark, who have so much TO do in
shaping tho future Of the city.
This much Of compliment was due
the Colonel in recognition Of his labor in
upholding Democratic principles through
out the State, with an ability that has
been willingly recognized wherever he
has appeared, in city, town or country.
His speech, a fall report Of which we pub
fish on another page, proves his title to 50
high measure Of respect at the
hands Of his political friends and
neighbors II proves that the State Con-
yention made no mistake In nominating
him for one OF the electors and standard
bearers OF the Democratic party. His

THE SALE OF THE AMERICAN.

President of the Company.

Col. Duncan B. Cooper to Become
President of the Company.
Special Dispatch TO The Appeal.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. l5.-The rumor
obtained currency yesterday that Col.
Duncan b. Cooper had purchased n con-
trolling interest in the American newspa.
per. 1t is ascerIained today that this is the
fact. As far as appears on the surface Col.
Cooper has purchased the entire stock Of
the paper. The names of all the gentle
men engaged in the purchase were not as
certained by the reporter, nor was the
price paid given for publication. The
trade was consummated this afternoon
and, at meeting, the old board Of direct
ors resigned and new board was elected,
composed OF the following: ID. Il. Cooper,
James l.. Gaines, John w. Childress, b.
Lanier and George X. Whitworth. II is
understood that Col. ID. b. Cooper
will be president OF the company,
John w. Childress yice-president and gem
cral manager. II is also understood that
Col. Cooper will direct the editorial policy
Of the paper Col. Cooper when asked
concerning the policy OF the paper, said II
would be Democratic and would support
the administration Of President Cleveland.
The working force Of the paper will remain
unchanged until the new directory has
undertaken It's reorganization. The report
Of the newspaper purchase has caused
much comment in the city, but the new
management has been reticent while com.
pleting its arrangements for the transfer Of
the property. The American goes into the
control Of the new management today.

Destitution al Fernaudina.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. l5.-Bishop
Weed has returned from his visit to Fer
nandina. There are there 5000 who need
instant help, OF this number about 1900
are negro laborers out Of work
and they may cause trouble. They
are the ones who struck last summer
and interfered with those who took their
places. On that occasion three companies
Of militia had TO be sent TO prevent riot.
The financial committee today sent $1,000
TO Fernandina. At least $4,000 will be
needed TO tide them over their troubles.
The Southern Association Of passenger
agents have decided TO extend the time OF
excursion tickets held by persons who left
Jacksonville early in the summer.

that lis provisions apply TO Chinese now in

Terrible Destitution at Fernandina-Dis-

New ORLEANS, La, Oct 15.--The Times
Democrats Jacksonville special sa@
"There are hundreds Of people here to
whom 5000 is an immense sum, and to
these, ii their bedding is destroyed, much
suffering will be caused. Again, there
are scores OF medium well-to-do mechanics
and others to whom in ordinary times this
amount would not be so much, but
they have been out Of work, had sickness
in their families, and perhaps all their
savings have vanished. So they feel that
they cannot suffer the loss OF bedding and
things OF that character, since they have
no means OF replacing them. They well
know the delays and worry of an appraisal
committee, especially of anything con-
nected with the government What is to
be done in such cases is problem;
and then there are other classes
clerks on salaries, who perhaps have rela-
tons to support; business men with large
families and light remnant OF business.
They are not paupers, but the loss OF 500
or $500 means q great deal TO them. What
is TO be done in these cases will require
the wisdom OF Solomon to tell. 1t
is most vital question, and the
government should decide at once
on what steps TO take, so that at
the moment the epidemic is declared at an
end the work OF disinfecting, fumigating
and cleaning up may be begun. In South
Jacksonville some distress is reported, but
the authorities are working nobly TO ale
viate it, The epidemic is passing through
its last stages and good frost will bring it
to an end. There are many signs OF re-
turning confidence. Store windows are
being repaired and cleaned and general
cleaning up is being practiced wherever
