YELLOW JACKS HAVOC.
Nearly 400 Deaths Week the Record at a
brazilian Seaport CITY,

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 Special. NEARLY
every vessel from Santos, Brazil, loses one
or more of her crew by yellow fever on her
voyage into the latitude of frost. The
British steamship Ptolemy, which arrived
to-day, left the stricken Brazilian port on
December g. Her chief steward, F. Rich
ards, an Englishman, 50 years old died on
December 16, while the Ptolemy was on her
way to Santa Lucia from Rio Janeiro,
whence she sailed on December 10. She
was detained at quarantine last night for
fumigation. The steamship Plato was also
detained because her fireman, ]. Habison.
Scotchman, died of yellow fever on De-
cember IA, when the steamship was two
davs out from Rio.
Both men probably caught the disease
while on shore at Santos. The death rate
there for the wee6 ending December 81 was
S9.1- The population of Santos is about
10000. This means 397 deaths a week.
Many of the victims are sailors from vessels
in the harbor There has never been such
frightful mortality in the town. As the
summer does not end until March it is
probable that the death rate will increase
within the next few weeks.

PowDERLY Is GREATLY WORRIED.
An Address From the General Master Work
man on Chinese immigration.

/
man on Chinese immigration.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. S.-General Master
Workman Powderly has just issued an ad-
dress on the Chinese immigration question
which is to be read in all district and local
assemblies of the knights of Labor. In the
address Mr.. Powderly says that had not the
tide of immigration been checked there
would not be a white laborer now at work
west of the Rocky Mountains while those
east of that range would be retreating be-
fore the barbaric hordes who work almost
for nothing In speaking of the Chinese re-
striction act, Mr.. Powderly says:
On May 6, 1882, that act was signed by
| President Arthur: it went into effect 80 days
after he signed it, and after the 9th day of
next May it will have expired and every
barrier to the immigration and importation
of Chinese cheap labor will be swept away.
Wages reduced TO a level at which manhood
cannot be maintained, the substitution of
the Mongol slave for the American freeman,
the abandonment of the home for the street
i and slum, the prostitution of men and
women, talents and bodies, and the final
overthrow of the republic, are among the
possibilities if Congress does not re-enact
that or more stringent law for the prohibi-
zion of this most servile of all races
Some Of The most powerful influences in
this nation are now at work on Congress in
the intcrceding for the Chinese. They are
at work on C0ngressInen and Senators: their
missionaries are laying plans for the con-
version OF the President OF the United States
TO their theories. Standing behind them are
the Christian employers of this land. who
would rather import heather willing to
work for barely enough to sustain life than
retain Il brother Christian at wage sufficient
to enable a man 10 live 10 becomes a
Christian. We do no5 want the opium or
the Chinese who grow il: both are curses
when planted where civilization has foot
hold.
Mr.. Powderly makes strong plea for
the restriction of immigration ''of kind
that is scarcely any better than that which
flows from China" He says:
l believe that the day has arrived for
those who love humanity to protest against
the further immigration of these people.
The United States and Canada should no
longer constitute the safety valve of Europe.
Self-preservation is the first law of nature,
and the time has come to state fearlessly
and unequivocally that the immigration of
to-day is Il curse to those who are here as
well as to those to come.
In conclusion Mr.. Powderly urges all
members of the order to work for the re-
striction of immigration and the election of
United States Senators by direct vote.

1t would seem that the East End having
become somewhat warm for burglars and
tootpads, they have removed their base of
operations to the other end of the city.
John Loeffier, clerk in the engineering
department of the Fort Wayne Railway
Company, called on his lady love in Belle
vue Wednesday evening, and after taking
leave of her went down to the station
to flag train. Here two men came to him
and asked the time. They were tough look
ing customers and Loefler having valuable
gold watch in his pocket feared to take it
out, and so told them he didn't know. They
then demanded tobacco and as Loeffier was
not disposed to be communicative they
made an attempt to examine his pockets.
He broke away and they chased him all the
way to Jacks Run, throwing off all disguise
and letting him know that they meant to 90
through him for all they could get Finally,
Loeffler, winded and almost exhausted, made
a show of resistance, and putting his hand to
his hip-pocket, faced about. The thugs
were towards and fed at this demonstration,
and Loeffier finally got train. His pant
aloons and coat-tails were frayed by contact
with briars until almost unpresentable.

THEIR TROUBLES AT AN END.

x. Of L. Musicians and the M. M. p. q.
Said to Be Friends-D. A. s Omcials
Deny 1t, but the Other Side Affirm the
Story.
There seems to be some doubt about the
story of the Knights of Labor musicians
having returned to the Musical Union and
the hatchet being buried after a hotly con-
tested fight of four years.
1t is said that committee from the
Knights Union visited the Musical Union
Sunday afternoon and asked to have the
Knights feinstated in the Musical Union.
The committee promised that all fines and
back dues would be paid. The M. NJ. P.
q. agreed to the terms and the fight was
declared off
This fight originated in 1888, when q
number of the members of the Great West
ern Band deserted and formed q union in
the knights of Labor. This always caused
trouble when band was needed, as the
two factions were always at war.
Gus Kriel, of the Musical Union, yester-
day said the past had been forgotten and the
musicians now were all concentrated under
the one banner of the M. NJ. p. o. 1t is
his intention now to form military band
of 100 pieces, which will give open air con-
certs and show the people of Pittsburg what
her own musicians can do.
The officials of the X. of L. say that the
musical Knights have not left, as they have
received no notice Of it. 1t is the general
impression that the story is true.

Any amount Of football teams want to
tackle the Pittsburgs now that the latter
have gained prominence. The latest to
challenge the local team are the Swifts, of
Chicago, the McDonalds and the McKees-
ports. The two latter might have had games
long ago If they had accepted the challenge
of the Pittsburgs which was open for sew.
eral weeks. Speaking of these challenges
last evening President Goodwin said:
at is a very strange proceeding these
clubs challenging us now after they have
ignored our standing challenge for months.
They know that we have engaged to play
the New Castle team, and if we win the
others can all get their cash ready. They
must put up q stake"
Regarding the game at Chicago Saturday
last between the Chicagos and the Thistles,
the Inter- Ocean makes the following interest
ing remarks: ''The Chicago Cricket Club,
which has not suffered deieat this season,
met the Thistles and their fmportations'
from Aurora and Joliet for the last time in
the jackson cup competition at Parkside
yesterday, the game ending in . tie, two
goals each, much in favor of the cricketers,
who experienced hard luck in not scoring
oftener. The game was played under pro-
test, and will be brought up at the next

SOME INTERESTING FOOTBALL GOSSIP

BUFFALO, N. Y, March Charlie
Mitchell, the English pugilist was seen by
an Associated Press representative here
to-day, and he gave the following official
and definite ultimatum to Sullivan:
'eIn reply to Sullivan's charge, I deny
that am challenging him for the sake Of
getting notoriety. He fatters himself.
do not require it I have been before the
American public for II years. He syas Of me
that man Mitchell don't want to fight.
Not to copy him say all that old woman
Sullivan has to do is to put his name to the
articles that the Olympic Club forwards him.
The pleasure it would give him to thrash
me, according to his own accounts,
ought to be satisfaction enough
outside of the financial benefits derived
thereby. 1t seems incredible that a purse
of $25. 900 is not enough to satisfy this man,
who tries to gull the Americans by saying
that am such an easy mark for him. II
is he himself, who requires free advertising
for, from all accounts, rotten show. I
want this to be final for require no news
paper talk. Myself and Slavin 60 around
giving legitimate boxing shows, willing to
meet any comers in any town. Neither Of
US are under fake contract.
"If Sullivan wishes to make the people
of the continent believe in him, he wants to
quit his bad impersonation of an actor.
which only brings ridicule upon
him from the play going public, and come
right down to business like man and say.
4 will beat this 150-pound man Mitchell,
who ran away from me in France l need
hardly repeat that have as yet never failed
in any particular to accomplish what I said
I would. Have never disappointed the pub
lie; that is more than John L. Sui
livan can say, To prove that I am
no buffer, 1 here state 1 will fight.
for the purse offered by the Olympic
Athletic Club and will conform
to their rules will put up
$500 deposit that will forfeit to the club
if do not appear on the night they fix for
the contest. I will also bet $500 that I
am proclaimed the victor. I do not want
anyone to fix up challenges and then beat
about the bush when Straightforward
reply comes believe that what have
herin stated will meet with the approval of
the fair-minded and sport-loving public of
America. I will concede to Sullivan his
choice of rules. Yours truly,
CHARLEY MITCHELL"
Mitchell frequently emphasized his re-
marks by declaring that Sullivan was afraid
to meet him.
'T hope this official challenge will bring
him to terms" he concluded.

Before Master Mcconnell.

KEwsY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPAfcH.1 -
NEW CASTLE, March THE celebrated
case in which Andrew Carnegie was sum-
moned as witness, but refused to come un-
til an attachment was issued, has just been
decided BY the master, Malcolm Mcconnell.
The case involves over $4,000
When, in 1881, the Wampum Furnace
Company purchased the property in that
place, S. d. and II. s. Oliphant and George
Lander gave purchase mortgage for S55,-
600, and the Wampum Iron Company was
organized. In the course of time the COM
pany became indebted to Peter Tillia, who
lives in the lower part of this county, for
$4,000 and in 1888 Mr.. Tillia received .
verdict in the Lawrence county courts for
this amount.
Bv successive transfers the property came
into the hands of Andrew Carnegie, who in
1856 transferred it as gift to Annie Land0,
wife of George Lander, the latter being a
cousin to Mr.. Carnegie. Afterward, in 1883,
the parties transferred it to the WaInpum
Iron Company. 1t was stated that it was
held by them for the use and benefit of said
company. An execution on the mortgage OF
SIS 600 was made and the property was sold
by the Sheriff for $4,000 to Mrs. George
Lander.
The question arising before the master
was as to the distribution of the money aris-
ing from the sale, it being claimed by Peter
Tillia that his Judgment was entitled to be
first paid, for the reason that the money ad-
vanced by Andrew Carnegie for the alleged
purchase of the mortgage was, in fact but
loan to George Lander; that having loaned
the money to Lander it created new debt
of Lander to Carnegie; that the mortgage
was simply security for the payment of the
debt, and not the debt itself; that this trans
action occurred since the rendering Of judg-
ment in favor of Tillia.
The Master decided to-day to award the
money to the plaintiff, Mrs. Lander. Attor-
ney WinternitZ. for the defense, will at once
file exceptions to the report.
