The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-09-18

Town, a settlement Of the lower classes
near thamills. l found only one case of
sickness, and that onlya slight cold and
not serious. At the mills all were well
and looked happy. St. Simon's is
perfectly healthy. No boats returned
to-day, and I was brought eight miles
in row boat to Brunswick, when I heard
the awful news of the increase in cases.
Strong wind and d heavy salt atmos-
phere on St. SimOns makes fever there
almost impossible. One of the pathetic
things of this epidemic is the numerous
letters Postmaster Mac Brown daily re-
ceives from wives and mothers, inuuiring
for their people, from whom they cannot
hear. In answer to these I would say
that all that could go have gone or are
preparing to leave Immediately. Fire in
surance companies have temporarily
waived the absence clause.
PROPERTY TO BE PROTECTED.
Chief Of Police Lewis Beach is doubling
his force, and with Lieut.. Robert Levison
will remain and see that property is pro-
tected. Fire Chief Saunders and a full
force are on duty to respond to any
alarms. The change in the weather to-
day is unfavorable, and the worst may be
expected. Nothing but the heaviest frost
will stop it, and people had better remain
away until ice forms.

THAT STOLEN BULLION.
Antiquarian Cochran Wouldn't Crib
Anything But Gold.

Philadelphia, Sept. 17-It is probable
that Henry S. Cochran will be arraigned
tomorrow before the United States COM
missioner on the charge Of robbing the
Philadelphia mint of S26,576 worth Of
gold. Chief inspector of the secret SER
vice, Drummond, went to Washing
ton to-day to get instructions
from Acting, Mint Director Preston,
and when he returned tonight he had q
conference With one of the assistants
Of the United States district attorney,
Ingham, in reference to getting his aged
prisoner a prompt hearing. The witness
ses of the government will be Chief Drum
mond, Treasury Agent Morgan and As
sistant Chief Weighing Clerk John u.
Jones of the mint The government is
not disposed to push the case with any
degree of vigor, but District Attorney
Ingham will ask that Cochran be taken
out of the hands of Secret Service Inspect
Ors Wood and Linden, who now have him
in charge, and put him where he can be
found when wanted.
PASSION STRONG FOR GOLD.
Chief Drummond tonight said that he
was not in position TO definitely say
whether or not the government would
prosecute Cochran, but declared that he
would recommend the abandonment of
the case in the event of complete restora-
tion being made. HE is old and feeble,
and has done good service" Chief Drum
mond further said, "and / don't believe
that he is altogether responsible for his
actions. ] would trust Cochran with
millions of dollars worth of anything
valuable, except gold. 1t would be safe
to give him control of vault filed with
greenbacks, for he would not take a cent
Of it. He has handled gold all his life,
and has developed passion for it which
is too strong 10 be described. He thought
the government was rich enough without
a few bars, more or less, and he helped
himself to an extent that would make his
declining years happy ones"

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE time al
lotted for public hearings, before the ways

Wednesday,, goth inst, unless the commit
tee reconsiders its action. There seems
to be disposition on the part of the re-
publican members Of the committee to

Negroes Were Arming.
New Orleans, Sept. 17.-Chief of Police
Caster has been appealed to by the white
residents along the two principal roads
leading out of the upper part of the city,
as well as by the plantations above the
city and the government experimental
station, aslsing for protection and repeat
ing the rumors that the negroes were
gathering and were armed and threaten
ing
Squads of mounted police were sent to
several points where the negroes were re
ported to be gathering, but found every
thing quiet and the exciting stories uu-
true There is no doubt Of considerable
excitement among the negroes regarding
the last nights lynching, but no violence
has resulted, nor have any whites been
ordered TO leave their homes.
ONLY THEIR OWN FEARS.
A few families living in isolated places
came 10 CarrOllton to spend the night,
but this was done on account Of their own
apprehension, rather than on account Of
threats made. One Of the plantation

stated that he did so because he did not

THE STRIP.
Thousands Getting Away From the
Great Land Of Promise.


Kansas City, Sept. 17.-There was a
big exodus of disappointed people from
the Cherokee strip to-day. The Santa Fe
brought in three special train loads this
morning, and the Rock Island
two. All the regular trains on
both these roads were crowded
with men and women who left the strip
last night, and who were glad enough to
get back to civilization. A whole party
of people from Illinois, who had planned
to establish a colony Of their own in the
strip, came back on the Santa Fe.
HAPPY PIONEERS.
They were the most forlorn looking
party that the officials of the union depot
had ever seen. They were dust begrimed
and weary. They made the run on foot
from the line north of Orlando, Okla
homa, and got nothing after having stood
in line for four days at the registration
booth, sleeping on the ground and exist
ing on muddy water and dry bread.
