YELLOW FEVER IL GEORGIA.
Brunswick Citizens AIarmed-EGort te
Suppress the News.

Brunswick, Ga, July 9.-Thc discovery
of yellow fever i'll this city has caused
much alarm. Two uumistakable cases OF
the dread disease were reported Oh Friday
last. but the victims had been suffering
for fully week.
A foreign brig was sighted off the bar
last Saturday and was boarded by Pilot
Charles Arnold, and, in spite of the strict
quarantine regulations regarding infected
vessels, he brought this one into the har-
Dor. On Friday he was stricken with the
fever and is very sick.
People are leaving town by the score
because of the bad sanitary condition of
the streets and houses. They fear gen.
cral outbreak and are moving their faml-
lies and taking everything with them for
prolonged stay.
The authorities have taken remarkable
precautions to keep the matter quiet and
have even threatened the newspaper cor
respondents with arrest in case they
should communicate the fact to the out
side world. On Friday morning the tele-
graph wires were cut to prevent the send
ing of dispatches. The injury to the city
would be extreme in case of general
stampede or if the neiShboring towns
should place quarantine restrictions on
the place. 1t can readily be understood
that the railroad companies and all the
business community arc interested in
suppressng the facts.

would be made in this case the Governor
could not say. II might be found adyisa-
bic, but 1T vas not required by the law.
The Governor based his opinion Of the
Importance of the official report in the
hcmmler case on the fact that there was
disagreement amoug the medical men
as to what had actually happened there.
And the first reports that were pub
lishcd would not stand investigation.
added the Governor. "Mcn went in there
who were not accustomed to seeing exc
BUTTONS, and. indeed, may not even ever
have seen man die q natural death.
They were very much affected, and
they invested the chair and all the ac-
cessorics of the execution with horror.

COMING TO AMERICA.
The Great Tin Plate Plants Of Wales will
Likely be Transferred to tho United
States.
(London Dispatch.)


The Times to-day says: "Should the
sixty delegates report favorably the pros
poets for tin-platc workers in the United
States, it is not unlikely that there will be
so large an exodus to America as to lead
to great part Of the trade hitherto
monopoized by Wales being transferred
to America. Hitherto the idea has been
that it was impossible to manufacture tin
plates in America, owing to atmospheric
conditions, but tim plate makers who ac-
companied the iron and steel institute
delegates to America reported that there
was nothing, except the want of skilled
labor, to prevent the successful manufac-
ture of tin plate in America"
In the House Of Commons to-day Baron
de Worms, Political Secretary Of the Col
onial Office, said in reply to q question
that the Government did not anticipate
that British dealers would suffer much by
the prohibition from catching seals for
the period imposed upon them by the re-
cent order in council.
British officers, who have been engaged
in fighting the slave trade in East Africa,
in submitting the reports OF their opera
tions for the year 1890, declare that the
traffic is on it's last legs. The action of

AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION.
Jno. 6. Carlisle Writes Letter in Which
he Condemns tho Document.

LOUISVILLE, July 9-After some delay
that has not been fully understood Scna-
tor Carlisle has finally had il published
that he opposes the new Constitution of
Kentucky. Under date Of June "a, Col.
j .Stoddard Johnston wrote from Louisville
to Senator Carlisle, setting out reason
why, in his opinion, the new Constitution
should he rejected by the people.
Writing from his: home in Covington,
under date of July 4, Senator Carlisle
replies as follows
"Abscnce from home has prevented an
earlier receipt and acknowledgement of
your favor of June "a. In my opinion it
would be Il great mistake to adopt the pro-
posed new Constitution as it now stands,
and it was my purpose at one time to
write or say something upon the subject,
but the question is a large one and found
that my engagements would not permit
me to discuss it in a satisfactory manner,
and, therefore, concluded to let it alone.

TRADE REVIEW.
The Prospect Continues Encouraging and
There is Every Reason to Believe
Better Times are at Hand.

New York, July 9-Dunn's weekly re-
view of trades says that everything waits
for the crops. 1t ia, therefore, of the first
Importance that the crop prospects have
never been more uniformly satisfactory at
this season than they are now. From
nearly all Western and Southern points
the reports refer especially to tho improve
ment in prospects resulting from the re-
cent rains, and particularly in the Dakotas
and in portions of the South where rain
was recently much needed, and the course
OF the markets favors heavy movement in
brcadstuffs.
During the past week, the treasury has
paid out only as much money as it has
taken in, though the disbursements for
July have not yet been rcckoncd out
HE money markets appear Oh the whole a
little less easy, though the rate on call
here has ranged during the past week be-
tween y, and 3 per cent. Stringency
still appears at few Southern points, but
at New Orleans the supply is verys fair,
though the market is firm. In other
respects the general outlook is in the main
unchanged, though there is less anxiety
than of late about gold exports, some pur
chascs of securities on foreign account
appearing in the place Of recent salcs.
and the large disbursements by the Treas
ury and by many corporations for half
yearly interest and dividends will make
the money markets generally easier, and
there is a prevailing confidence in the
speedy recovery and expansion of trade.
Trade is dull at Nashville, holding up
fairly Mt Savannah, sluggish but strength
ening at Memphis rs the crop prospects
there improve, and larger at Jacksonville,
where vegetables are moving in large
quantities. Trade is reasonable at New
Orleans, but refined sugar is active
1t is the dull season in iron, many mills
having closed for the usual vacation, and
while prices are generally shade stron-
ger than in May vague fear of the future
checks purchases. Structural and plate
iron are fairly active, but of rails no sales
are noted, and the shipments for the half
year are placed at 100000 tons against
775,00O last year. Coal has been advanc-
ed by dealers but the independent opera
tors make no change.

THE BULL CALF CASE.
1t Is Decided After Pending Fifteen
Years.

PARIS, KY, July S.-The famous Megib-
ben bull (which has been in the courts
for fifteen years, was settled at Versailles
recently by the jury returning verdict
of $4,000 for plaintiff. In 1875, Thomas
Megibben, of Harrison county, and Edwin
Bedford, of this county, bought a fine
Jersey COW, which produced q valuable
bull calf. Megibben bought for $4,000
Bedford's interest in the calf which prov
ed impotent. and Megibben sued for his
money. In 1879 Megibben was rendered
judgement for $4,000, but the ease was
taken to the Court of Appeals, where it
was untouched for twelve years. Six
months ago it reversed the decision of
the lower court and last week the case
was tried at Versailles with the above re-
suit Thomas Megibben, the original
plaintiff, has been dead year, and the
verdict was in favor of his estate. Hon.
John G.. Carlisle, Col. w. C.P. Breckin-
ridge, Hon. Harry Ward, Hon. John B..
Houston and other noted lawyers were
employed in the case.

Judge c. R. Green, OF Scott county, has

But before leaving our beautiful noun

He succeeded, and that admirably To be
