Mosquito Bites AFRO Dangerous.

While mosquitoes are pretty generally
regarded as being about as energetic little
nuisances us can be found anywhere, they
have not been considered dangerous A
strange case however has been reported
from New York city, where the authori-
ties of Bellevue hospital have had case
Of death from mosquito bite. 1t is by no
means unprecedented, but it is something
rather unusual. In this case the mosquito
had absorbed the microbes of IL dangerous
disease, which he transmitted to the pa
tient in the biting process. A fatal case
OF meningitis was developed as the result
The bacillus of anthrax is the scientific
name of the poisonous germ in thi. In
stance.
The patient was Peter Kennedy, sixty
nine years old, and a day laborer. He was
bitten on the left cheek by n mosquito He
experienced the usual singing sensation,
and the swelling soon became so painful
that he was removed to the hospital, where
he died in great agony When we know
that mosquitoes feed on dead animals,
there Is nothing remarkable in their alb
sorbing the disease germs or bacilli OF an
thrax which are terminated in the putre-
flying flesh. 1t adds q new terror to the
pesky insects.

Interesting Chat Heard at the
Different Hotels.

S. w. Henderson. of Montgomery
Alabama, yesterday passed through tho
city on his way to Washington and
stopped off for few hours. In the
course OF conversation he said: 81 re-
gard the political situation in my State
as very dangerous at the present time.
There is not the least doubt but that
Governor Jones was re collected fairly and
honestly by good majority. There was
no corruption used as those seem to
think who arc unfamiliar with the Sit
uation in that State.
~ have seen from the press and espec.
tally Northern papers that in the black
belt where Democratic majority was
never known before Jones' majority was
very heavy. From this they argue that
corruption and fraud were perpetrated
as the negro never votes the Democratic
ticket. These people forget tho fact
that kolb, all through the campaign,
reiterated the fact that he not only was
Democrat but better one than his
opponent. The negro understood the
contest to be between two Democrats
aud consequently he voted not on party
liues. If Kolb had been an avowed Re-
publican there might have appeared
some reason in these Statements
However, while Jones was undo ubt-
edly elected by handsome majority,
many of the Farmers Alliance party be-
lieve that Kolb was defrauded out of
the office and they are carrying knives
up their sleeves for the party leaders
whom they believe counted their candi-
date out. fully believe that the Third
party will mako substantial gains in my
State this fall. Strong efforts will be
made to defeat some of the best Demo
cratic Congressman, and in several in
stances 1 very much fear that they will
be successful. There Is also great dan
ger that sufficient number of these AL
lance men will vote for the Third party
candidate for President to lose the cleo
toral vote of the State to the Demo.

At the Ponce dc Leon yesterday. a
Northern gentleman in discussing the
political situation said: "Of course it

fore just preceding an election the Re-
publican party has been able to stave
off strikes and lessen all friction be-
tween employer and employee until
after the election
This year with all of their shrewd
management they have been unable to
do 80. Strike has followed strike in
rapid succession, and in every instance
they have occurred in the manufacture
ing esta b'ishments OF prominent expo
aents of the high tariff theory, and in
the ma jority of cases they have been
precipitated by reduction of wages.
This very naturally destroys the work
lngman's belief in the assertion OF the
Republican party that protection guar
antees good wages. This will effect not
only the strikers, but laborers through
out the country will sympathize with
the strikers. and when election day
comes they will even up scores with the
grand old party by voting the Demo.
