WON'T CHECK THE FEVER.

DR.. Drummer Says the Cold is Not
Severe Enough to do That.
TWAS reported at the city exchange yes
terday that case Of yellow fever had de-
veloped on St. Simon's Island near Bruins
wick, but the report is not confirmed
by the Geographic reports this morning.
DIR. Drummer said that he did not think
the cool spell win have any particular
effect upon the fever at Brunswick, as
the cool weather is not likely to last He
thinks Brunswick is in for another month
of fever at least, unless there is a eavy
frost before Nov l.
Some of the weather prophets are pre-
dieting an early winter, in which case the
situation at Brunswick may be relic we'd
earlier Than will be the case should the
usual mild fall weather prevail.

4 DROWNING ACCIDENT.
SAMUEL wIGGERTON, A FREIGHT CONDUCTOR
ON THE O., l. & W., THE VICTIM.
The Casualty Not Reported Until Early yesterday
MOrning-A Serious Accident and
Narrow Escape from Death
on the South Side.

Samuel Wiggerton, aged thirty, a
resident of Kirkwood, where he leaves
q wife and one child, was drowned In
the "Back" river about ten o'clock
Monday night.
The accident was not reported by the
companions OF the victim until early
yesterday morning, when search Tor
the body was commenced, but up to
last evening the quest was futile one.
Wiggerton. Mart Harrison and man
named Garrison went down to the river
between eight and nine o'clock on the
evening in question to engage in the
unlawful occupation Of seining. They
had quite a comfortable jag on, and
were not In the right condition to ven
ture out In a skiff, especially as the
wind was high and rising. They ma
nipulated the sein until about ten
o'clock, when the high wind made the
skiff unmanageable, and it becoming
fouled in the sein was overturned, spilllng
the three men into the water. Wigger-
ton could not swim, and not being able
TO get hold of the skiff, soon sank. His
two companions managed to get ashore,
after infinite trouble, and their escape
seems TO have been narrow one. They
did not report the accident, hut went to
their homes. They met again at the
river at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, drew in their sein, which had been
left in the water all night, and began
search for Wiggerton. After fruit
less hunt they made the accident known,
and parties at once went to work to
drag the river. This was kept up all
yesterday, guns being fired at intervals
in the hope Of bringing the body TO the
surface, but without avail. The re-
mains had probably been carried down
stream and over the dam during the
night.
1t was stated last evening that Wig
gerton was a member OF the Conductors
Order, which pays $4,000 upon the
death Of a member.

a SERIOUS ACCIDENT,
In which Two Men Have Very Narrow
Escape From Death.

A serious accident occurred in the
B. e. o. yards, near the foot OF Twenty
second street, about half past nine
Monday night, which resulted in the
serious injury OF two men and came
near costing both Of them their lives.
The presence of mind OF young man
alone prevented this fatal outcome.
George Daubs and John Kraus were
on top Of box car, one of train, when
engine No. 50 backed up and coupled on
10 the train. The train was started up
slowly, and just as 1t commenced NOV
ing the two men made jump for the
ground. In some manner they came to-
gether and fell upon the bumper Of the
car, and thence TO the track, their legs
being across one rail, directly in front
of the moving wheels. Daubs was bad
ly hurt on one leg and Kraus was I'M
conscious, and on quarter OF minute
both would have been run over, had not
a young man who was near by seen the
danger, aid had presence OF mind
enough to drag the men from the rail
Just as the wheel reached them. The
men were taken to their homes and DR..
Walden summoned. Kraus was found
to be injured in the back and side, and
is also thought to have sustained inter-
nal injuries. He was resting reasona-
bly, easy last evening, but his hurts may
yet result seriously. Daubs is not so
badly injured.

She Could Not Help 1t.

One could almost be sure they were
engaged lovers as they walked from the
crowded ball room into the conserva-
tory. The look or their faces told
much more plainly than words could
have done that they preferred each 9TH
er's company among the flowers TO that
OF the restless dancers.
The scent-laden air seemed conducive
to quiet happiness, for the two sat and
watched the fountain play and breathed
the odorous air, but said nothing. II
was enough to be near each other.
Their spirits were well enough &C
ouainted to commune together without
the medium Of words.

WE'RE IN A HURRY.
REPUBLICAN OoUNCILMEN COULDN'T WAIT ON
THE NATURAL COURSE OF EVENTS,
But Called Special Meeting Of Council With a
View to Q1iskly Getting Control Of the
Water Board 0fiess-SomshOw, the
Thing Didn't Work.

Some OF the Republicans about must
be extremely hungry and very thirsty.
So keen is their appetite for office
that they couldn't stand it to see Demo-
Gratis browsing about in the green pas
lures controlled by the Water Board
any longer, and Monday they called
special meeting of Council for last night,
that the oaths Office and the joint bond
OF the new Board might be approved,
and the way be thereby prepared for q
speedy decapltation of the Democratic
officials.
Had they been content to allow things
| TO take their natural course, they would
have been in possession OF the places
| they covet so much by April 25th, as the
bond would have been regularly APP
proved at the meeting of Council on the
18th, the Board could then have made
its selection of officers, and they would
have been confirmed on the oath, and
could have taken possession the next
day. There would have been nothing
| In tho way of unseemly haste about this,
and Democrats would have had no OBJ
| lection. But the Republicans, as was
remarked above, couldn't wait that
long, and the special meeting was called
for last night, to the end that two weeks
might be cut off the flag end Of the flick
ering political life OF sundry and divers
| Democrats.
But sometimes, when one makes
| Of
| chickens, an added egg is struck, and
| the count is wrong.
The Second Branch convened at eight
o'clock last evening, with bare quo
rum, nine Of the members being Repu0-
| licans and six Democrats. Mr.. Filan
came In after roll CALL The joint bond,
in the sum OF $4,000, was read aud APP
proved, and the oath OF Office was like
wise pronounced correct. The papers
were then sent TO the First Branch, but
there an obstacle was met with, and the
| Republican plan came TO grief. There
were but six members In the chamber,
Messrs. Robinson, Otto, Caddle, Rich
ards, Dobbins and Halter, all kepubli-
cans. and although these gentlemen sat
around for quite time no one else APP
peared, and His Honor the Mayor went
of to listen to the debate at the Repub-
| lIcan Club, and the members dispersed
10 their several homes. The result IS
that another special session will have
to be called, or matters will be allowed
! TO take their natural course.
By the way, a special meeting OF the
Water Board had to be called for yester-
! day TO make out and sign up new papers
! for the members elect. At the meeting
held a week ago, the papers were pre-
pared so as to read that the members
had been elected March 2sth. when, as
a matter of fact, only Mr.. Ebeling was
chosen on that date, the others having
been elected month before. The er-
ror was discovered by Clerk Thoner
and hence the formalities had to be all
gone over again. Had the papers reach
ed Council as originally drafted, they
would have been objected to as incor-
| rect and sent back.

A Popular Myth.

The time worn "million stamps" lie
still survives, and is likely to prove i'm
mortal. People all over the country are
trying to accumulate 100000 Cancelled
postage stamps, in the belief that a
standing offer is made by the govern
ment or by some body OF big prize for
such a collection. Some think that Sl0,-
900 is the sum guaranteed, while others
imagine that the reward is the endow-
ment of permanent bed In hospital.
The popular notion on this subject be-
ing somewhat underlined, letters asking
about it are constantly received at the
Postoffice Department. But no denials
serve to destroy the widespread faith in
this strange cbimera. Washington

THE WHITAKER IDLE.
TROUBLE BETWEEN Tbs OFFICIALS AND
EMPLOYEES OF THB MILL
Nearly Every Department Of the Plant oil On
Account Of an Alleged Violation Of the
Amalgamaiat Scale.

Wheeling has been particularly IN
fortunate since the beginning OF the
year in the way OF labor disturbances.
Following upon the heels OF the street
railway aud carpenters strike, is trouble
at the Whitaker Iron Works, as a re-
suit of which the entire plant is idle,
and over three hundred men temper
arily out Of employment. 1t is earnest
~ hoped and believed, however, that
the differences between the officials OF
the company and their employees will be
satisfactorily adjusted within Few
DAYS.
The trouble at the Whitaker has
been brewing for some time. 1t culmi-
mated Yesterday, when the omclaIs
ordered the rollers TO do work heretofore
performed by the rOugherS, In per-
emDtory refusal on the part OF the men.
The rollers decided TO quit work until
the order was Withdrawn, and notl-
fed the management OF their intention.
This action was taken about -FOUR
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr.. N
Il. Whitaker left for New York Few
hours before, and the men decided 70
remain out until he returned, when
they will lay before him their griev-
ances, Crescent Lodge A. A. OF l. and
5. w, held a special meeting last night
at Trades Assembly Hall, for the purpose
OF discussing the situation, but tho pro-
ceedings were not made public.
Officials OF the company declined 10
say anything regarding the matter, ana
the men are almost equally retlcent'
preferring TO maintain silence pending
a conference with Mr., Whitaker. IL
was learned, however, that IL has long
been a matter Of controversy between
the roughers and rollers as TO whose
duty IL is, under the A. A. OF j. ~ > W.
scale, 10 adjust the screws on the rolIs'
II is claimed thar rOugherS doing stint
lar work in the Etna and Standard mills
receive extra compensation. ms IS
met by the counter statement by the
rollers that the rolls in the TWO mills are
OF a different nature, az least those
which figure IN the quarrel. This con-
tentiOn was confined to the men, but
the matter assumed another phase when
the officials ordered the rollers 10 do the
work.
1t is understood that this action was
not taken as a result Of the controversy
between the men, but on account OF in
efficient work by rOugherS, resulting IN
broken rolls, and entailing heavy losses
upon the company. 1t was claimed by
the company that the pair heaters"
screwed too heavy, breaking the rolls.
During the past six days no less than
six rolls have been broken IN this
way. On Monday morning two were
broken. Yesterday afternoon a roll
was broken, and the accident was fol-
lowed by the notice from the company
referred 10 above.
The trouble originated in sheet mills
Nos. 3 and !, but as all employees OF the
mill are members Of the Amalgamation,
all were affected Indirectly. The seven
sheet mills of the plant were closed
down, and last night the bars were
drawn in the bar mill. There are AZ
rollers and rOughers employed on the

RIP VAN wINKLE TONIGHT.
The Grand was we'll filled last night
to see the Columbia Comedy Co. This
afternoon there will be a grand matt
nee for ladies and children. when the
famous drama Rip Van Winkie, will
be produced, with Mr.. Ed. Chrissie in
his great character Of Rip Van Wrinkle.
This will be the first production OF
this celebrated play in this city for
many years, and a large audience
should be present. This evening will
be the las appearance Of this company,
and Rip Van Wrinkle will be repeated.
GLORIANA.
The attraction at the Opera House to-
night will be Charles Fordham's New
York Company, presenting James
Mortimer's farce comedy, "Glori-
ana" The piece had long
and successful run in New
York, but has never before been seen in
this city. 1t has an interesting little
plot, of more merit than the average OF
that class of plays. Its dialogue is
bright and witty, it is full OF action, and
does not depend Oil horse play for its
fun. Servants masquerade as masters
aud masters as servants, and the Situa-
tionS are grotesque and amusing to the
last degree. The company is an excel
lent one: even the most trivial parts
are in competent hands. The company
is unusually strong, including George
w. Barnum, William Norris, Charles
Drake, John Allen, y. Sherwood, G. G.
Phillips, Jacques Martin, Eugene f.
Eberle, Charles +. Warren, Misses Ell
eanor Merron, HELEN Holland, Tillie
Barnum and others.
THE ELKs TOMORROW NIGHT.
Tomorrow night the long-antcipated
two nights engagement Of that very
excellent organization known as the
Elks' Ministries opens at the Opera
House. The way the seats have been
sold is a sufficient guarantee that the
house will be filed both tomorrow and
Friday night, and Col. Reister is prepar-
ing to hang up the Standing Room
Only" sign. Yesterday the gallery
went of at lively rate but there are
vet few seats left and those who wish
to see the Elks should secure them. The
performance promises TO be par excel
lence and will likely be enough to make
Lew Dockstader or Hughey Dougherty
turn green with envy when Tom Camp
bell and the other end men open the
ball of merriment in the great first
part. Look out for the big parade to-
morrow al p. m.
The route of parade will be as fol-
lows: Start at hall, Chapline street, to
Fourteenth, to Market, to Ninth, to
Main, to Twenty-third, to Chapline, to
Twentieth, TO Market, to Twelfth, to
hail.
