SAM is A LEPER.



JERSEY CITY, n. j., Sep. "A few
weeks ago Sam Sing Chinese laundry
man in Harrison, was reported TO be a
victim of leprosy, and after a thorough
examination by the medical inspectors
of the county board of health he was
pronounced feper and taken to the pest
house at Snake Hill.
Sans brother then took charge of his
business and effects, and contending
that Sam was not afflicted with leprosy,
demanded his release.
When this was refused suit for 500, 600
damages was begun against the health
board for keeping Sam locked up.
Sans friends finally decided to have
him examined by a Chinese doctor,
a man said to be the greatest expert on
leprosy in this country. The examina-
tion was made yesterday, and to-day the
Chinese doctor sent in his report, which
delares that Sam is a leper without doubt.
Sans friends have accepted the de
cision as final, withdrawn their suit and
sent letter of apology to the health
board.
The authorities will negotiate with the
New York health board to have the leper
taken to North Brother Island, where
two other Chinese lepers are now quar-
tered

MINERS FARE BADLY
A Hostile Motion Adopted by
the Tennessee I0dse
THE SENATE TO VOTE TODAY
Citizens Of Nashville Assemble to Hear
the Debate,

There Was a Strong Movement to Abolish
the Convict Lease system--Fears that
Rioting May be Resumed at Briceville.
EWorlSingmen Anxiously Awaiting the
senates and Governors Action.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sep. 4.--The House
adopted a resolution ordering an investi-
cation of reports rejecting upon state
Labor Commissioner Ford and his assist
ant, Representative Alleman, the pream-
bic to the resolution rociting that, in q
measure, they were responsible for the
recent trouble at the Briceville mine; that
they abetted the miners 10y public
speeches, and that they have been agita-
tors encouraging lawlessness.
There was an exciting time when the
House took up Mr. Johnson's resolution,
saying that in the opinion of the General
Assembly under the Constitution the
Legislature has no power to abrogate the
contract existing between the State and
| lessees of convict labor.
Mr. Davis favored the abrogation OF
the present contract and the abolition o
the lease system. The State should pa,
! the lessees a million dollars damages j
necessary, and raise the revenue assess
ment to meet it. This was the first at
1 tempt in the history of the United State
and possibly in the world to beat dow
| free labor with convict labor and i
should be stopped as soon as possible
The johnson resolution was adopted by
vote of 81 to 81.
The calling of the roll was watches
with great interest by the members q
| the House and citizens assembled to hea
the debate. The resolution will be sen
to the Senate this afternoon.
There is general feeling here that
the Senate passes the House resoluHo
that rioting will be renewed at BriceyillC
unless the Governor should step in wit
a veto.
The miners representatives. here di!
play great anxiety over the result.

Fears of an Attempt at Lynehtng.

ELIZABETH, N. j., Sep 4.-Hud son
Green, the negro who entered the house
of Bank Teller Phillips yesterday, as
saulted Mrs, Phillips and with knife
severed the finger of Mr. Doves, mer-
chant, who came to Mrs. Phillips assist
ance, is closely guarded in the Jail here,
as it is feared an attempt will be made to
lynch him. The cut on Mr.. Doves
throat is not serious, but clearly proves
that the negro tried to kill him. Mrs.
Phillips is completely prostrated by
fright and it is feared the shock to her
nerves will be permanent.

The Court has gauted him h'rty dpye
upon his fling q bond of 800. co., I"
his affidavit Mr. Eiustein sa-s Ohto tho
actual value of tho pssats IS. ieh hayo
come into his ispossCssior is about rs. 800,
principally in the bonds and shares OF
Southern railroad corporations, though
Backer's real estate Glastonbury cotton

included in this estimate.
As it was announced at the time o.
BacKer's failure that his liabilities wert
between three and four millions of dol
lars, and this was afterwards confirmed
by the declarations of his assignee, the
startling discrepancy between assets anC
liabilities which now appear to exist ha!
given the anxious creditors Of the bank

Mr.. Einstein, the assignee, says he cal
give no further particulars as to the stu

come into his hands and whose value ht
estimates at $390,00O have a nomina
value of nearly 81, 200, 900.
He attributes the deficiency to tn,
shrinkage in value OF the railroad secu
