SITUATION AT JACKSONVILLE.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, September 27.-This
is lovely Florida autumnal day, warmer
than yesterday, but very pleasant. There
Is no special change in the situation since
last night. The fever has broken out in
Sanderson, next station west of McClenny,
on the Florida Railway and Navigation
road. Mr.. f. j. Pons, democratic nominee
for state treasurer, and his entire family
have the disease. Aid has been asked by
the people, many of whom are needy.
Thirty six new cases have been reported
this morning twelve white, twenty -four
oolored-and three deaths: Alvia Herricks,
Miss Louisa Perrete and Mr.. Mccormack.
HOPEFUL FEELING AT JACKSON.
MEMPHIS, September 27.-A special to
the Evening Scimetar from jackson, Miss,
says:
The day opened bright and clear with a
temperature warmer aud more pleasant.
No new cases reported since Sunday last.
Lee died this morning at 8 O'Clock, max
ing the fifth death out of fourteen cases
reported since the breaking out of the
fever. Mrs. Lee, his wife, is quite i'll. The
wild excitement in the country continues.
Lynch creek bridge about one and
half miles from town has been torn down
to prevent the crosssng of wagons or the
establishment of a quarantine
camp in that direction. This
was wholly unnecessary as it had
been determined to pitch 200 tents here
below town in the fair grounds. This is
not desirable location, but the only one
accessible, all other places having closed
their doors.
The Howard association will, if necessa-
ry, furnish provisions to those in need,
provided they move into camp. Citizens
remaining here are working together to
stamp out and prevent further spread of
the disease. bright and hopeful feeling
pervades all this morning, it being hoped
and believed the worst has passed. DR.. L.
A. Guilbert, a prominent physician of
this place, was to day commissioned by
the Society of the Red Cross as their req
resentative during the prevalence of the
fever.
ASSISTANCE OFFERED.
MEMPHIS, September 27.-The follow
ing has been received by the Associated
Press from Decatur, Ala:
"Our relief committee is prepared to
give assistance to al who need it. We
especially deprecate the making of
appeals for help by other parties. When
the committee needs more help they will
give due notice to the public. Miss
NannisJones died to-day. No new cases
since noon. There are suspicious cases at
Hanesvile, Hartville and Madison-all
Decatur refugees. 1 think the fever is
not likely to spread in these villages at
this season of the year. Mr.. Buetheit, at
Coleman, is doing we'll"

MEMPHIS, September 26.-The an
Dr.. G. B. Thornton, president of the
board of health, at the meeting last night,
was the fulfillment of a pledge he had
made to the profession abroad, that any

from the store house by of the bookleepers who
sold It. Upon the discovery of this fact the book

Speculation is stilI lively among the followers Of
baseball over the proposed transfer Of Ward That
the Washington club Will ultimately get him now seems
assured. II tho present arrangements fall through
Ward will remain in the local club No other city
except Washington has tho least chance OF getting him.
An offer Of 1000 from Boston would not secure
his release. In fact offer Of the same amount
from any other club outside OF washington "ou'u
meet with the Same result
Before starting for Australia Ward had long talk
with the local managers and the situation was mapped
ont He demanded his release not so much because
he wanted to leave New.York, but because he wanted
to practise some of hts theories about baseball ana
he knew he would never have a chance to do 1t In
INF. CITY again His short trial captain Of the
nine two years ago made 1t impossible for him ever
to assume control Of the men again He was mol
on friendly terms with some Of the players, is not
now. and probably never will be-
In either the Washington or Boston clubs Ward
would have full control of the nine and that Is Just
what he wants. The Boston club might have secured
Ward some time ago. but the team could not get
him now no matter how much money was offered
for his release John B. Day, president OF the local
club was seen in HIS Maiden lane office yesterday
and at last consented to untanglc the Ward mystery
Ward will in all probability play in the Washington
club next season." he said but that is not dchntey
settled If he does not play in Washington he VIII
remain In tho NewYork team. Ward told me early
in the summer that he wanted to go to either the
Washington or Boston clubs I don't think he would
care to 20 to any other CITY, The Boston people seem
to be trying to upset washngtons negotiations for
Ward but they are simply wasting timo and INK
Ward win not 20 to Boston. The only way ward
could be- got by Boston would be for the Washington
club after it has secured Ward to sell him to Boston,

John b. Pine, secretary Of the Executive Com
mittee said yesterday: I've have decided not to
draw up any high license bill until the Excise Com
mission submits its report to the Legislature Janu-
airy TO- and we may not prepare any bill then, for we
hope that the Commission will submit High License
bill which We can support The excise laws of the
State are In q bad condition, and sadly need amend
ment BY the terms Of the law under which they
we're appointed the Excise Commission can either
offer amendments TO the present excise laws they
can submit q law sweeping away ALL past excise
legislation and bringing in entirely new statutes on
the subject We hope that they will profer a new
law, the present excise laws are SO contradictory
that one can understand them. The statute on
which most OF the excise legislation rests passed
In 1857 and successive amendments have been made
10 It. Then the amendments have been partially
repealed and in such a way ono can tell whether
the original act ID affected or not.
1t would be better to destroy 1t all and bring for
ward as have said, clearly written now law There
are excellent examples of good excise legislation
TO be discovered in other States Nebraska for In

hope the Excise Commission viii examine all those
statutes II the Excise Commission does not sub
init satisfactory law, shall submit one ourselves
