caused by yellow fever.
This afternoon a report was heard
that one of the Cox children was sick,
This is the same family that caused so
much excitement in the previous panic
by picking up a sick child and running
away with it to escape the government
doctors. The boy who is now sick Is
said to have been wading in a pond OF

Brunswick was regaining her old pro-
gressive condition rapidly, and the
rumor5 to day did not visibly affect her
commerce, though the inevitable quar-
antine will put a stop to business as be-
lore. Some nervousness is shown, and
a number of people left on the night
train, but there was nothing like a
panic. There are a great number of
people who have returned, and many
that did not leave before, who have
no means to go on. But all seem to
take the matter calmly, though every
thing Is as gloomy as can be. The
board Of health has not met yet, and
therefore no idea can be given as to the
conditions for an epidemic. A large
number of the old refugees express a
determination to remain here. The
schedules on the E T., V. &C., and B.

with the quarantine regulations.

TRAIN ROBBERS AT WORK.
A Lake Shore Train Held Up by Twenty
Masked Men he Express
Safe Robbed.

CHICAGO, Sept. II Twenty masked
men held up a Lake Shore train 100
miles from here near midnight, and,
after wounding the engineer, blew
open the safe IN the express a and
stole it's contents. The train was the
one which drew out of the Twelfth
street depot of the Illinois Central Road
at 7:45 o'clock last evening. 1t reached
Kendalville, a small station in Indiana,
a little short of four hours later. 1t
went past the town and had hardly
gone a mile through a stretch of tim
Der land, when the engineer slowed up
near a curve. AS the engine ratified
round the turn the engineer saw a red
light ahead. When the tram came to
a stop a dozen men spraDg into the cab,
shot the engineer, seriously wounding
him, and then blew open the express
car with dynamite and drilled open
one Of the safes, getting safely away
with their booty, whatever IL was. OF
that there is no certain information,
and all sorts of wild stories r afloat
placing the amount al the way from
$50, 600 to $3.50, 600,
The car dynamited belonged to the
United States Express Company, and
General Superintendent Crosby, of
that company, declared this afternoon
that the total loss by the robbery is
way below $50, 600. He says the rob
bers thought they were carrying away
national bank notes but secured mostly
papers worthless to them, and that
they overlooked SIS, 900 of gold bullion.
Mr.. Crosby emphatically denied the
reports that 1875, 900 had been taken.
There was not one tenth of that amount
! on the whole train, he says. In the
80 I1~-yo $500 100 - COLD 80 Ell
of packages done up about the size and
packages were marked $1,000. s $1,000
and so on. These figures indicated the
value that the package was listed at.
but practically they were worth moth
ing more than the paperthey contained.
Their contents consisted Of settlements
with agents, receipts for moneys, legal
papers, etc., which can all be duplicated
after a time. 1t was a load Of this
nature and very little actual money
which the robbers secured. Only five
or six men, he says, were concerned in
the robbery.
The rumor that the safe contained a
shipment of $3.50, 0U0 from a Chicago
bank to a New York bank could not be
confirmed, the only fact lending any
credence to the story being the recent
rise IN the value Of New York eX-
change. None of the bank officials adj
mitted having made such a shipment
and the express company's officers de
MED that there was any such amount
on the train.
President Newell, Of the Lake Shore
Road, this afternoon offered a reward
of 81, 1000 for the capture and convic-
ton of the robbers. A tramp, who
was stealing a ride on the train and
claims to have seen the whole occur
renee, says there were at least twenty
men in the gang and some Of train
men put the number as higha as twenty
five.

ELECTION LAW REPEAL.
Federal Supervision of Contests at the
Polls Sure to be Stopped.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-PrOmpt re-
peal of the federal election laws was
decided upon at a conference of the
Democratic members of the Commit
tee on the Election of President and
Vice President today. They will pre-
sent their report to the House to NOR
row. Republican members will pre-
sent a minority report. Representative
Catchings will ask that the report be
laid on the table, to be taken up for
debate on Thursday.
Chairman Fitch was not present to-
day. Representative Tucker presented
to the committee a revised draft of the
bill which he introduced on Saturday,
to repeal all statutes relating to super
visors of elections and special deputy
marshals.
This bill, if passed, as now seems
probable, will wipe from the statute
everything relating to federal super,
vision Of registration, federal interior
ence with the conduct of elections at
the polls and the prosecution of citizens
of the State under federal statutes for
alleged offenses against the elective
franchise. This will leave the entire
supervision of elections to the State
and take away the power to transfer
election cases from State to federal
courts.
All the Democratic leaders in the
House favor the bill, and while it will
doubtless occasion some heated discus
sion, it's passage through the House is
practically assured, but it will make a
great deal of trouble in the Senate.
Realizing this, several leaders in the
House have opposed its consideration
at this time, believing it might leopard
ize the chances for unconditional re-
peal of the Sherman act in the Senate.
General Tracey, Of Albany, and Repre-
sentative Raynor, of Maryland, take
this stand, The election law, however,
will be repealed by this Congress.

and Nicholai Nardacihione. FORTY o;ob+
years old, of South Mount Vernon. With
several other Italians, went out in the
fields near that village Saturday to
gather mushrooms for Sunday dinner.
They were not particular what thew
gathered, SO long as it bore a resem6
lance to a mushroom, and they did not
hesitate to take toadstools off of the
stumps of dead trees. They cooked a
portion of what they had gathered for
their evening meal Saturday. The re-
suit was that two of them-Mary
Coffrcella and Nicholia Nardacihione
died yesterday morning, and four
others cannot live.
SAUGATUCK, Conn Sept. 11.-There
was buried here this afternoon a bright
boy, Albert Gallagher, five years old,
whose death on Saturday vas caused,
as the attending physician states, by
eating toadstools. The boy visited his
aunt, Mrs. Samuel Allen, Friday and
staid to dinner.
Among the tempting things placed
on the table were what were supposed
to be mushrooms, but which proved to
be toadstools. The boy ate heartily of
them. Before bedtime he complained
of acute pains in the stomach, which
powerful medicine promptly given
could not affect or remove He sank
and died in great agony.

He has always returned empty handed.
Often would he bring up fish in the

YELLOW FEVER IN BRUNSWICK
The Dread Pestilence Again Appears ant
Claims a Number of Victims.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. ia special
to night to the Morning NeucS, from
Brunswick, Ga, says:
CIV. Killian, a German shoe maker
in this city, was taken sick last Friday
at his shop where he had a sleeping
room. He had been complaining for
several days previous. AS he was liv-
ing alone, he received no treatment
until Sunday, when the Odd Fellows
learned of his illness and gave him i'm
mediate attention. A physician was
called in and treated him for gastric
fever. His death this morning caused
some rumor, and Mayor Lamb called
in Surgeon Quite ras to hold an autopsy.
This was done, five of the local ply
sicians assisting. The result was the
pronouncing that Klllian died from
yellow fever.
This afternoon another suspicious
death was reported at the City Hos
pital, the person being a Norwegian
who was being treated for consump-
ton. He has been sick for some time.

were as famous for the excellence of their |
wines as are the vineyards of Burgundy |
and of the Medoc, in France, today. |
Wine was both plentiful and cheap; was
considered one of the necessities of life; it |
entered into the list of dietary articles at
that time, just as it does today in France
and parts OF Germany.
"And with corn and wine have l sus-
and oil were the three great staples of
Palestine, and are mentioned together
everywhere throughout the Old Testa-
ment. THAT will give you the rain of
your land in his due seasonIth first rain
and the latter rain. that thou mayest

! not eat within the gates the tithe of thy
corn, or of thy wine, or ofthy oil."-Deut.
IL: II. "And thou shalt eat before the

of thy corn, of thv wine, and of thy OIL"
l-Deut. ~: %. until come and take
you away to a land like your own land,
a land of Corn and wine, a land of bread
| and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of
honey.'-2d Kings, 13: 80.
These three products constituted the
chief sources Of wealth of the country.
Storehouses were constructed especially
for their safe keeping. "Storehouses also
for the increase of corn, and wine, and
| oil.'-2d Chron. 80: 20.
If bread was the staff of life among the
people of Palestine, wine and oil were no
less it's props. Wine was everyw here
taken with meals, for. being cheap, it
was within reach of the poor equally
with the rich, and was not an expensive
luxury as with us. 1t was used as milk
and coffee and tea are with us.
All of these facts combined, render it
highly probable that Christ, in this res
pect. did not differ from the majority of
his people. Indeed, his own words go
to show that He did drink wine, But
say unto you. will not drink henceforth
of this fruit of the vine" Math., 26-29.
Verify say unto you, will drink no
more of the fruit of the vine" "

used, but the meaning is essentially the
same. The expression "henceforth" and

previously drank wine. II such were not
the case, then they are meaningless
