No Money for the Worlds Fair Voted
By the County as Yet.
TIrUsvILLE, FLA, Aug. 25.-The county
commissioners, at a special meeting yester-
day, voted to postpone consideration of ap-
propriating the money for the worlds fair
fund until their regular meeting in Septem-
Der, but It is understood the members all
favor Arthur G. Jackson's scheme for
raising the required amount and that Bre-
wards proportion may be counted on as
surely forthcoming.
Another move by the receiver Of the
Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
railroad was made this week, when
the business Of the railroad aud of the
Indian River Steamboat Company, which
has been transacted by the same officer, was
separated and officers appointed to attend
to the steamboat company's affairs.
The third party went up with q little
smoke and less noise, 80 far as this county
Is concerned, on account of the non-appear-
ance Of Messrs. Baskin and Mann or any
OF their representatives to speak here yes
terday as advertised. The most prominent
man In this section OF Peoples party affilia-
tions was on hand 10 receive them, but as
they did not come he concluded to celebrate
without them. He sent telegram to head
quarters, however, asking for an explation,
which was received, stating that sickness
had prevented the carrying out of the pro-
gramme, but that meeting would be held
here later in the season. The strength of
the party is very little in this neig hborhood

Sign Also.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 25.-The Southern

Sourned to night, all the lines having re-
newed their membership except the Gin
cinnati Southern and the Alabama Great
Southern. The Richmond and Danville
held of until a late hour but finally an
nounced that it would sign. Maj FINK, re-
ceiver Of the East Tennessee system, held
out for differential of cents per hundred
on grain from Illinois points. The board OF
arbitration awarded him 3 cents. be would
not accept that and stuck out for the extra
cent. The members sat around caucussing
and there was not much general discussion.
FINK STARTLED.
Just before the adjournment President
Thomas announced that be would take out
che Western and Atlantic il the Cincinnati
Southern did not.coms in. This startled
Maj. Fink, but did not bring him to terms.
and the association adjourned after giving
the Cincinnati Southern and the Ala
bama Great Southern seven days in
which TO announce their decision.
II they do not sign the Louisville and
Nashville. Illinois Central, Newport News
and Mississippi Valley and the Western and
Atlantic will draw out. In that event it lie
predicted that there will be bitter rate war
and threat is made that the Cincinnati
Southern will not get bushel Of Illinois

An Idahosn Eaten Alive in the Pres

An Idahosn Eaten Alive in the Pres
ence of His Invalid Wife.
From the 81 Louis Globe Democrat.
BOISE CITY, IDAHO. Aug. 1O.-Willian
Easton, aged IS years, who came to Idaho in
1865 from Cairo, ILL.,, was eaten alive by
two cinnomon bears on Aug. 5. His aged
wife, who is an invalid witnessed the dread
full tragedy, but she was powerless to assist
her fated husband. The scene of the horri-
flying occurrence was Easton's ranch, eight
miles west Of Elk City, in Idaho county.
The unfortunate rancher and his wife were
eating their breakfast, when they heard
great commotion in the calf pen. Thinking
the hogs had broken into the pen to rob the
calves of their food, Easton picked up an
ordinary carriage whip and went firth to
straighren matters out. He climbed into the
pen, and, seeing black snout inserted be-
tween two fence rails, struck it sharp
blow with the whip.
A gu lien snarl apprised him that he had
encountered bear instead Of a hog, and he
started to leave the pen to get rife. Be-
fore he had succeeded in getting over the
fence male bear ran around the pen and
sliced him ny bis right leg. He screamed
with pain and the animal released him. AS
quickly as his wound and his age would
permit Easton hobbled to a smoke house
and tried to crawl through a window. The
bear pursued him, and, seizlng his hip, COM
menced to ravenously tear the flesh.
Agonizing screams issued from the old
mans lips. His invalid wife wheeled her
self to window, and when she saw what
was taking place she, too, commenced to
shrek Her husband, already terribly
wounded, cried out:
do not make noise or you will be
killed"
A moment later he fell to the ground ard
another bear, a half-grown cub, joined the
first animal in tearing at the PROSTATE man.
Mrs. Easton, almost transfixed with horror,
could do nothing to assist her husband. She
heard him moan:
20, Lord, help me TO bear this death. o,
God protect my helpless wife"
At this point she became unconscious,
and when she revived she could see only
fragments of her husbands body and cloth
ing, while the bears were frolicking in the
orchard. Four hours later Easton's hired
man came in from hunt. He heard the
wifes horrible story, and after little
search he found Mr. Easton's head, spine
and thigh bones, but no other portion of
his body. The poor mans face was not
badly Scared. but his ears had been bitten
off. Fhe bears were speedily killed.
Mrs. Easton is ropidly sinking beneath
the shock, and her death is momeutly ex-
pected. The ranchers of that locality will
have bear drive next Sunday, IN order to
avenge Easton's death.

AN AsHEvILLE INN AFLAME.

Half Dozen Guests Have a Narrow
Escape From Death.
AsHEvILLE, N. c., Aug. 25.-Late last
night fire started in the laundry room of
the Hotel Belmont, in West Asheville, and
before it was discovered had made its way
to the elevator shaft and spread to the upper
stories. An alarm was sounded immedi-
ately. With the exception OF perhaps half
dozen, the us guests got out safely, The
remaining few had a narrow escape
from death. Several jumped from
the third floor to the top OF
veranda and thence to the ground, sus-
tanning severe injuries. Mrs. Carue of
Charleston lost S5 600 worth Of diamonds,
and another guest 50, 900 in cash. The hotel
cost $50, 900 and was insured for S25 900. 1t
was the property of the West Asheville I'm
provemeDt Company. The furniture was
owned by DR.. Karl Won Ruck, the lessee of
the hotel, and was insured for S25, 900.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug 25.-To the
Public: You are advised that the rumors
current throughout the state OF the preva-
lence of yellow fever at Tampa or Ybor
City are utterly without foundation. There
is no yellow fever in the state of Florida.
nor has there been since the cases reported
in the third annual report of the state board
OF health. These runors possibly became
rife through the report of the state health
officer of the existence Of yellow fever on
