PENSACOLA. Fla, Aug. IA. The state
health officer OF Florida today announced
that an investigation of the cause OF the
death OF Rev. +. G. Waite and Ellen
Wood, reported to have died Of yellow
fever in Pensacola August 9th, shows
nothing in the case OF Waite to justify the
diagnosis OF yellow fever. In the case
of the child, Ellen Wood, the opinion is
given that while the record does not give
clear history of yellow fever, yet it
contains sufficient evidence to justify
the statement that the case was suspici-

Constituencies and smooth tougued navi-
gators Of the Potomac may make frequent and
emphatic denial of charges that steamboat
racing is INDUCED in on the river but the fact
remains-and glib falsehood will not cover il
up-that many OF the boats are overexerted in
efforts to catch up with or get away from the
craft of competing lines. On Saturday last the
steamers Harry Randall and Wakefield went
down the river, the Harry Randall having on
board about four hundred men. women and
children of course it will be easy to state that
there was competition to speed, but if
there was none then great many passengers
are much mistaken heWakefeld desired to
cross to the Virginia shore. but did not want to
fall astern. so she tried TO get far enough
ahead TO cross the Randalrs bows-something
that did not seem to be possible. The result of
the maneuverinS was a collision in which. fortu-
nately. no one was hurt. That no lives were
lost is matter for colgratulation, but the con-
graduation should not extend to the ofic
who were responsible for the rude contact Of
two steamboats, that had the great width OF the
Potomac all TO themselves. Some day q large
number of Washington's reputable citizens will
go out for a holiday and owing to some such
carelessness as that of Saturday will never come
back any more. And then several fresh water
sailors will be glad that prison walls are strong
enough TO keep out a mob whose endeavors.
though Illegal, would have in them an element
of justice.

Ireland is undoubtedly the closing struggle OF

There is n screw loose somewhere in the ma

one little county to rise up in its independent

into treaty negotiations with many peoples and
by the terms of those agreements each of the
parties pledged itself to assist the other in sub

Consequent upon the railroad accident which
took place at the Parkville, New York, tunnel,
comes the discovery Of startling evidence as to
the cold-blooded character of at least one rail-
road company. To save the difference in ex-
pense the company constructed a single-track
tunnel for double-track road and then, to pre-
vent the possibility Of ''head-on' collision
within the tunnel. arranged dead switch"
which was, b. ditching one Of the two trains,
tc save the other from injury. The New York
Times SAYS that this dead switch is a mon
strous evidence that the company took the
chance deliberately Of Strengthening passen-
gers rather than go to the expense of
constructing the tunnel for double
track. which was the only proper and
effective means Of avoiding all danger of COL
lision. This coalescence of the east
and west tracks in going through the tunnel,
with switches and signals on either side
operated BY one man, who can see neither train
until il gets close to the trap. is a diabolical
continuance which should not have been per-
mitted for a single day. and with any proper
supervision of the construction and operation
Of railroads it would not have been permitted. "
1t will hardly be believed by civilized people
that the company's regulations required the
svitchman on duty at that point. if he heard
to trains coming in opposite directions and
liable to meet in the tunnel. to give one the
right Of way and deliberately throw the other
of the track. vet the Times vouches for the ex-
istence of such a rule. Washington has had
some rough experiences with steam railroads,
has been forced to contribute victims to be
offered up the grade-crossing altar, but no
such corporate inhumanity as that uncovered
by the Parkville disaster has as vet made local
appearance.

ton. The deputy secretary Of the common
wealth said when questioned that "ths state
has nothing whatever to do with the expenses
attendant upon the carrying out Of a requisi-
ton. When the requisition was asked
for Blank and Rosenwigi the request was
accompanied by statement to this effect
from District Attorney James G. Frear Of
Wyoming county" Attached to the request
was District Attorney Frear's Endorsement:
81 am satisfied that the expenses attending this
extradition Of said fugitives shall be charged
upon this county, and will take proper means
to obtain them" Upon that promise the papers
were issued. The secretary admitted that the
state had received bill from the Canadian
government and said that it had been forwarded
to Wyoming county. Thus" said he, "the
matter rests 30 far as the state Of Pennsylvania
is concerned. If the Wyoming county people
refuse to pay the responsibility rests solely
upon them" Carry this doctrine into business
life and it will afford infinite relief to thousands
OF men who have Endorsed notes and upset
commercial conditions to an uncomfortable ex-
tent. Suppose Wyoming county declines to
pay the bill and the state holds to its present
position. what excuse may the general govern
