train was attacked by robbers at water
tank two miles east Of Dana Station. The
engineer, Breeze, was oling his en-
gine, and Fireman Wallen was giving the
engine water from the tank, when three
men rushed up to the front end OF the train
and cried out: "Hold up your hands,
you -" The engineer did 80, ana
the fireman jumped down from the
tender and was shot as soon as he
struck the ground, receiving flesh wound
in the right arm. In the meantime a con-
slant fire was kept up on the train by
some of the robbers concealed by the
darkness, and about fifty yards from the
train. The front brakeman, VIM. Tillman'

FIGHTING YELLOW JACK.
Firing Cannon and Burning Tar
at Jacksonville.
Physicians and People working Like spar.
tans to Stay the Disease.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 15.-The sit
uation this morning makes the doctors
smile, and the people here deal better
pleased. Up to eleven last night there
were only three new cases, two coming
from the original source Of all the trouble.
No new cases or deaths reported to-day
up to $3.50 O'Clock, and the people are taxi
ing in long breath. The physicians now
admit that the diagnoses Of some of the
so-called yellow-fever patients were
wrong, and tomorrow corrected list will
be issued. This will state that altogether
there have not been over twelve
cases here. kilograms are pouring in
from all quarters offering aid of
every kind, and Jacksonville feelingly ac-
knowledges the kindness shown. The
weather is cooler this evening and more
favorable to fighting the disease. Last
night Wilson's Battery, with five guns,
bombarded the microbes and germs, and
all hope with good effect. Very heavy
charges of powder were used. Five guns
were sent over from st. Augustine on q
special train, but they did not arrive in
time for us last night. In fact no one
seems to know where they were. The two
guns ordered from Fernandina, and which
should have reached here Sunday evening,
have not yet put in their appearance.
Perhaps they are somewhere on the
line Of the railroad. If by the
merest accident they should reach
here to day there will then be
ten guns on hand, which will enable those
having the matter in charge to pursue the
experiment in various portions Of the city
at the same time, and it is probable that
the experiment will be kept up for several
evenings and mornings. The battery was
out again at 8 O'Clock this morning for an
hour, shooting, and hereafter from to q,
M. and from I to 0 p. M, sun time. Great
numbers Of tar fires were burned in va
rious portions of the city last night while
the concussion was going on, and very
many more will be going tonight, SO that
with the smoke from the powder and tar
the city will be pretty we'll enveloped to-
night. The air now is completely
impregnated with its fumes. Nearly
everybody is preparing to burn tar to.
night, and in this way aid as far as they
can the earnest work Of those who are
striving so hard and resorting to every
means in their power to stamp out the dis
ease now prevailing in the city. At Especial
meeting of the city council $4,000 was ap.
propriated for the Relief Committee. The
police force is being increased, as it ID
found that some trouble may occur from
thieves, as nearly all the negroes here, save
those employed clearing up, are idle and
have no money. If ptundering once begins,
there will be some sharp work with any
caught at it, as the people here now mean
business, revolvers and shotguns being q
portion of every mans toilet articles.

An Electric Girls F.at..

CLINTON, IA, Aug. 17.-Miss Lena Loeb,
the electric girl, is here attending the
Spiritualists' camp meeting, and is aston
ishing people with her wonderful powers.
Though weighing but ninety-four pounds,
and only sixteen years old, she pushed
five strong men all about room at once in
daylight, and held a man weighing three
hundred pounds suspended from the floor
in q chair, though ten other men were
pulling down on the chair so strongly that
it was pulled in pieces. Her other feats
are as wonderful.

aoRED BY A BULL.
Two Men Badly Injured by Vicious
Brute.


PARKERsBuRG, w. VA, Aug. 19.-Mr.
Samuel Bebbie, of Pond Greek, Jackson
County, went into one of his fields day
or two since to yoke up bull which he
had been in the habit Of working. When
Bebbie got close enough to catch the ami
NAL by the horns it suddenly turned and
tossed him into the air. He fell twenty
feet distant, when the bull rushed after
him and gored him in the side. The boy
who had accompanied Bebbie fortunately
was armed with heavy club, with
which he succeeded in beating off the bull.
Henry Bebbie, son of Samuel, concluded
to subdue the animal, but was himself
tossed and gored terribly, and would have
been killed outright but for the opportune
arrival of ten or twelve men, who were
armed with clubs and pitch-forks. They
attracted his attention long enough for
him to toss one of their number clear over
the fence, knock down several others, and
to scatter the crowd. AT last accounts
none of the injured men were dead.
