FEW TRAINS ARE RUNNING.

WASHINGTON, Sept, A-The Postofice de-
partment received several kilograms from the
yellow fever district which indicate that the
running of trains on nearly all of the rail
roads in Alabama and Mississippi has been
abandoned and that the whole section is
panic-stricken. One telegram dated Atlanta
says the running of trains between Chatta-
noogs and Shreveport, Greenwood and Jack
west of Columbus, Miss, are not permitted
by the people and the probability is that the
Cairo and Mobile and Memphis and New Or
leans trains will be discontinued. The only
means of reaching New Orleans with any de-
gree of certainty Is by way of Montgomery,
and even this route is threatened.

graphic stories of the panic in Mississippi.
The Oldest residents of the section seem to be
the most frightened. Officers from Chata-
nooga are putting suspected passengers off
the cars near Oil City and Rising Fswn con-
vict camps, and to prevent trouble Governor
Gordon has declared quarantine at the

An Opportunity for the People of Annap-

An opportunity for the People of--Annap-
oils.
In Baltimore one of the most rapidly grow
ing enterprises of the last few years, and one
of the most appreciated as well has been the
Installment business. Its great advantage
and benefits especially to the medium and
poorer classes. cannot be overestlmated For
merry people in ordinary circumstances were
compelled 10 do withouta great many neces-
sary comforts OF life; that is, their houses
were scantily furnished. and only because
they could not at any time raise sufficient
cash money 70 properly furnish them. What
little furniture they had. was OF the poorest
and cheapest class and never made respecta-
bic appearance. or gave any satisfaction. Now
on the lnstallment Plan any honest person, no
matter what his or her circumstances are. no
matter how poor or how rich. can get anything
in the way OF furniture, Carpets. Stoves Re-
frigerators, Crockery. Baby Carriages, Parlor
sary to furnish the home complete from cellar
TO attic,-they can get all these By simply pay
ing Q small amount cash down and the balance
on small monthly payments. which are made
TO suit their circumstances and are always
made SO low that the money will hardly be
missed THIS plan has become so popular in
all the larger cities that over two-thirds OF all
the people now purchase their household goods
that way;-in fact all excepting the extreme
wealthy classes. Now the People OF Annapo-
lis never have had this opportunity offered
them, so the Peoples Instaliment Company.
1t9 and ll94 N. Howard Street. between
Fayette and Lexington SITS, Baltimore. the
largest and best conducted and most reliable
Instalment house in Baltimore, have decided
TO allow any resident of Annapolis or imme-
date vicinity. the same advantage as the peo-
pie of Baltimore now enjoy:-that is to sell
them anything which they may desire to have
en- the lnSta'm ent Plant at lowest cash prices
and make terms of payments low enough TO
suit any ones convenience. This House not
only sells everything in the way OF Furniture,
Carpets, Stoves, kefrigeratoTs. Baby Carriages
Cr0ckery, Cutlery, House Furnishing Goods,
Parlor Organs etc. but also carries a COM
plete stock of Silks, Velvets, Foreign and Do
nestle Dress Goods, Ladies Cloaks and Wraps.
Millinery, Gents, Youths Boys and Childrens'
Clothing, shoes, Hats, Watches, Jewelry. etc.:
in fact they are general Outfitters and are the
only House in Baltimore where wearing APP
parel as well as furniture too, can be bought
on the Installment Plan at Cash Prices and
very easy terms of payment. This House will
always be glad to have the people of Annap0-
lis call on them whether they intend purchas-

through their immense Warehouse and get

Every well regulated bridge in this
State has its sign boards posted al either
end forbidding persons with vehicle and
on horseback from riding faster than a
walk over the bridge; but we regret to
say neither of the bridges-the Spa nor
the Severn River bridge have such warn
ings TO travellers. and the consequences is
that every one who crosses these bridges
on horseback and in vehicle, have no re-
gard for the danger they run or The dam
age that ensues TO the bridge by such
reckless travelling. It is to be hoped our
County Commissioners will look into this
