BRUNSWICK, Ga, Oct. 16.-Twenty
seven new cases OF yellow fever were
reported to day, seven whites and
twenty negroes.

health. has complied the following re-
capitulation: Under treatment, 66
whites; ia colored; total, $40; dis

223; dead, % whites; colored; total, 26.
The confident prediction of Surgeon
FACET that this continued cool weather
will greatly decrease the number of
new cases after six days has buoyed the
people up considerably. There are
some, however, who disagree with
Surgeon FACET and all are positive that
the low death rate to date should not be
counted as sign that mortality will
not greatly increase as this cool wave
has caught many under treatment who
are practically unprepared for the cold.
There are two new cases at Jesup,
ono negro whose name is unknown
and Mrs. Warren, making eleven now

Three Men Killed at a Bank Robbery.

The most daring robbery ever con-
sumated in this part of Colorado oc-
Cured at Delta in broad daylight. The
object of the attack was the Farmers
& Merchants bank. While the sums
secured were small, the robbery re-
suited in the death of three people,
the cashier of the bank and two of the
men who made the attack. Half an
hour after the bank opened three men
rode up and entered the bank. The
cashier refused to hand over the cash
on demand of the robbers and was shot
dead. They secured $500 and after
firing several other shots started to
ride away. Several citizens had been
drawn to the scene, among them Ray
Simpson, hardware merchant and "a
dead shot, who secured his Winchester
and killed two of the robbers, but the
third escaped.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-R. 9. Dun & Co 3
weekly review OF trade says: Improve
ment has extended from the banks TO the
mills. The condition OF great industries
has DISTINCTLY mended, though still seriously
depressed. more important by far than any
rise in stocks Is the fact that moro, works
have resumed during the past week than
have stopped operations, so that the pro-
dncing force OF the country, after months
ofconstant decline has begun TO increase.
The money markets are mole healthy, the
premium ON currency has almost vanished,
the embarrassments in domestic exchanges
have we'll nigh disappeared and, while very
little money Is yet available for eOmmes
cial or industrial loans. there Is some relief
in that respect also. IL must take time 10
revive business after such "A shock rs IL has
sustained, and there is no occasion for dis
heartenment IL recovery is slow The pros
poets for corn have not improved, and the
Injury done by drouth seems 10 insure n
much smaller yield than was expected. The
price has advanced fully nc. Cotton has,
nd vanced to SC. with assurance that new
treasury arrangement will facilitate the
supplies OF money for moving the crop.
After touching Sc, the price has fallen a six
teenth and crop reports ane still favorable
on the whole. That the volume or trade
has been small of late Is not surprising.
Exchanges through the principal clearing
houses, outside New ork, continue TO show
n large decrease In comparison with last
year, for the past week 243 per cent. AL
though several banks which were forced to
numerous failures of two months have
thrown into confusion the calculation of
merchants and compelled them to curtail
operations. Failures for the past week
were only 323 In number, against 3Si the week
previous.

To Give Chinese Another Chance.

Chinese residents of Los Angeles,
Cal, have petitioned congress to give
them another opportunity TO comply
with the regulations of the Geary eX-
clusion law. They say they were led
to believe that the act was in violation
of the treaty between the United
States and China, but the U. S. su-
preme court having upheld the law
they are now willing and ready to
register under its regulations.
The new Chinese minister has had
several interviews with President
Cleveland on the matter and bill
which will probably pass-has been
introduced in the House to extend the
time for Chinese to comply with the
Geary law from May 5, 1898, TO October
l, 1894. This will overcome all the
difficulty and the United States and
China will again be at peace.

GLADSTONE WHIPPED.
The Grand Old Englishman's Home Rule
Bill at Last Meets Its Fate.

London cable: The bill giving home
rule to Ireland to which that grand
old -Gladstone-hadg given
his life's greatest efforts has been
killed by the peers of the realm after
having passed the lower house of par
lament.
The house of lords presented a bril-
liant and almost unprecedented specta-
Gle when Lord Salisbury rose TO de-
liver the last speech in opposition to the
home rule bill. The house was filed in
every part with people anxious to hear
the decision of the lords upon the meas
ure which had been SO long debated
in and out of parliament. Not only
was the house itself filled with peers,
but all the corridors and approaches
thereto were packed with people
"eager to be in at the death. "
Prominent among the crowd were
Joseph Chamberlain, Arthur James
Balfour, late chief secretary for Ire
land, and a host of minor lights of the
British political world. United States
Minister Thomas f. Bayard was also
present and received much flattering
attention from many Of the prominent
parliamentarians present. Lord Sails
bury was long and loudly cheered
when he stood up to make the closing
speech and it was some time before he
was allowed to proceed.
The earl of Kimberly (liberaD, twice
secretary of state for the colonies, and
lord president OF the council, followed
the marquis of Salisbury and spoke for
the bill in behalf of the government.
The earl S remarks failed TO make any
decided impression on his hearers. At
the close of his speech the division was
taken. The latter proceeding lasted
over half an hour and resulted in o
vote of 40 against the bill and Al in
favor of il.

Adoices from L. $. Minister Thomp-

In response to an appeal from the

Official cables TO London from the

that the dispatches do not tell the

BRIEF MICHIGAN NEWS.
ANN ARBOR HAS A BIG SENSA-
TION.--AN EMBEzzLEMENT. 20
The Water Company IN the Hands OF n
Receiver Because of Tricky Man
ager.-KiIed While Hunting.

The city of Ann Arbor was greatly
excited over a sensation which resulted
in the appointment of DIR. A. Kent
Hall as receiver of the Ann Arbor
Water company on the petition of Her
man Hutzel, one of the stockholders
and creditors of the company.
1t is alleged in the petition that
there are 400 water takers with sea-
900 gross income and with $4,000 eX-
penses; that the company has issued
and sold $4,000 first mortgage bonds,
and that $4,000 second mortgage
bonds were issued, but only Sl2, 900
sold; that the total cost Of the plant
was 100000.
The charges of fraud are that A. w.
Hamilton, VINO was president and sup
erintendent of the company from May,
1887 TO August 20, 1898, had in that
time issued S27, 200 of the company's
notes for his personal use. 1t was
also charged that Hamilton has embez-
zled S.. AGO. and that by his fraudulent
acts, populations and mismanagement
has made bankrupt the company so
that the capital stock of the company,
which has been sold above par, is now
without market value. The franchise,
real estate and personal property of
the company is estimated to be of the
value of $500, 900, bonded indebtedness
S162. 900, and the floating Indebtedness
500, 900, of which S27, 900 is fraudulent
and not claim on the company.
It was also alleged that Hamilton
made statement that he has made
fraudulent entries and failed to malSe
credits on the books. That the books
were kept in such careless manner
that it was impossible to ascertain the
amounts received and expenditures of
the company. Judge Kline, after
hearing the petition, appointed DIR. A.
Kent Hale, one of the largest stock
holders and creditors of the company,
as receiver.

It's a Girl Again.

President Cleveland has been made
happy by the birth of a second babe
and it is a girl-much TO the disap-
pointment Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland as
well as their friends. The event oc-
Cured in the White House and both
mother and babe are in splendid health.
This is the first time in the history OF
the republic that the wall of the new
born infant of a President of the
United States has been heard within
the walls of the White House. OF the
babies who first saw the light of day
in the old house probably only two are
living until this happy event added
another. One is Mrs. Mary Emily
Donelson-WilcoX, daughter of An
drew Donelson, nephew of President
Jackson, and the private secretary and
confidential adviser of "Old Hickory"
during his entire official life, and the
other is Julia Dent Grant, the first
child born to Col. and Mrs Fred Grant,
and now young lady just past Is.
