TAMPA, FLA, Aug. 13.-The reports Of
the existence Of yellow fever on the Ameri-
can schooner Eva B. Douglass have been
confirmed by official statements Of DIR.
Joseph Y. Porter received here to-day.
The vessel was bound from Havana to
Punta Gorda TO load with phosphate and
was detained at the state quarantine station
on Mullet Keys, twenty-eight miles below
Port Tampa, according to law for fumiga-
cation and disinfection. This was on
Aug. 8, and while this work was
going on Capt Let's was stricken
down with yellow fever. Before the vessel
Dry Tortugus, three others Of the crsw we're
taken sick. 30 State Health officer Porter
put some Of his own men aboard, who took
the vessel Eve miles down the bay and
anchored her at a point ten miles from shore
aud ten miles from tho track OF vessels,
where he is personally attending the sick.
Last Thursday morning Capt. Let's died
and his body was buried on Anna Maria
Key an uninhabited island down the bay.
the disease will probably go
through the entire crew, with
the exception Of a mulatto cook trom Cuba,
who has probably had the fever before.
COMPLETELY ISOLATED.
The Douglass is completely isolated and
there il absolutely no communication with
the mainland or with other shipping. The
state board OF health has the matter under
perfect control and has haudled it
in the most efficient and prudent
manner. Confidential notifications were
sent In cipher TO the chairman
OF every county board of health Ia
Florida, as we'll as to the presidents OF all
state boards as per the agreement made at
the Montgomery quarantine conference
three years ago. FloridA's coast patrol has

swered that he did not wish to discuss the

TO the reasons given by the indianapolis re-
puolicans why he could not antsgonize the

American, he considered it his duty to vote
according to his convictions, and that he
owed no slavish obedience to any party.

CROPS IN WARE.
Good Yields Promised-Thirty Acres
in Tobacco,


WAYcRoss, GA, Aug. 13.-The pros
poets are bright in Ware county for good
food crops. The corn crop is good gem
orally; the acreage is larger than it was
last year. The oat crop was unusually
fine considering the long drought in the
spring. This Is not wheat growing coun-
try, but the farmers are becoming
more interested In diversified crops this
year than ever before. The cotton crop
was retarded by the long drought in the
spring. but the farmers claim fair prospects.
The cotton acreage is about one quarter less
than last year. Truck farming is becoming
a paying industry here. The melon crop
was fine and the yield larger than usual L.
Vegetables have been injured by the
drought bus the yield was fair.
THE TOBACCO ASSOCIATION.
The Waycross Tobacco Association has
planted thirty acres In tobacco this year.
The barns have been built, and the curing
Of tobacco has been going on. The expert
ment is a decided success. Those who are
tobacco experts pronounce the cured leaf
from this farm to be a superior quality of
tobacco. and claim that it will make fine
cigars The farmers generally in Ware
county are enthusiastic over the gratifying
results Of the experiment, and they are sat
isfed that Ware county soil is the natural
home Of the finest varieties of the tobacco.
The association proposes to build cigar
and tobacco factory In Wsycross, and build
warehouses, and make Waycross the great
tobacco center Of Georgia.
Fruit culture is receiving more attention
from the enterprising farmers than ever
before. They have planted many large
orchards and vineyards. Pears and peaches
have been very fine this year, the yield
being much larger than 1t was last year.
3. L. Bishop, on experienced nurseryman,
has demonstrated tho fact that Ware county
soil is the home of the apple. He has shown
US specimens from his orchard that are as
fine in quality and as large as any grown in
the south. Grapes are plentiful.

All the farmers have planted the weed ex-

capitalists will purchase several hundred
acres of land near here at an early date and
establish colony here this winter TO raise
tobacco on large scale. This means q
great deal for the prosperity and wealth Of
the county.

KNIGHTS rnMpLAR 1k.PERIL.
One OF Their Trains Wrecked But No
One Fatally Injured.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. IA special train
on the Chicago and Northwestern railroad
carrying Knights TempIar from Denver
met with an accident two miles west Of
Clinton, Ia. to-day.
The train consisted Of an engine, baggage
car and seven sleepers, carrying knights
Templar from along the line of the Lehigh
Valley railroad In Pennsylvania and New
Jersey with Grand Commander Coddtng Of
Pennsylvania In charge.
Through an accident of some sort to
the fifth sleeper it jumped the
track and derailed the two
following it. The last two turned COM
the road. A number of persons were in
jured, but aside from Mrs. Charles Rhoades
of South Bethlehem, Pa, and Reuben
Bresell OF Hazelton, Pa, all were able to
proceed on their journey to Chicago. Mrs
Rhoades and Mr.. Bresell were taken to
Clinton and cared for. Fortunately there
were four physicians on board the train,
who were able to give the necessary medical
assistance to those who were hurt Mr.
Bresell is the most seriously hurt, but IL 10
not believed that his injuries will prove
fatal. 1t is expected that Mrs. Rhoades
will be able to resume her journey tormor-
row.
John Maxwell. the fireman, also of Gales
burg. jumped after putting on the air brakes
and thus saved the train. He was quite
badly injured, one leg being broken, besides
suffering internal injuries. None of the
passengers were injured, though all we're
badly shaken up and a number bruised. II
is believed that boys, placing a spike on the
rail to see the engine smash 1t, caused the
accident.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-It is true, as
was reported to-day, that when it was
thought that Judge Gresham would be
nominated by the third party, ez-Chairman
Clarkson and other anti Harrisonian repub-
licans advised that IL 1t was ascertained
after election day that the election was
likely TO be thrown into the House because
the third party had gotten electoral votes
enough to prevent the election of either
President Harrison or ex-Presidens Cleve-
land, the repu blican electors, when they met,
should cast their votes for Judge Gresham If
they would suffice to elect him aud 90 shut
ex-President Cleveland out. But it is also
true, as has not been reported, that this
proposition was vigorously opposed by
President Harrison, who said that he would
not countenauoe any such extraordinary
proceeding. He would rather, he said,
have ex-President Cleveland than Judge
Gresham In the white house.
