Quarantine Raised.

BRUNSWICK, Ga.- Nov. 30-There
were no new cases of yellow fever to-
day, no deaths and no discharges. The
refugees are returning fast, and the
streets are lively. Today has been one
of unusual thanksgiving in Bruins.
wick and everybody gave thanks from
the humblest citizen to the highest ofh.
cial. In the churches congregations
gathered and joined in prayers of
thanKs for those who administered to
the afflicted during the deadly plague
that has been among the people. All
are free now and all rejoice. This af-
ternoon the brass band paraded the
streets with enlivening music that
brought out large crowds. Surgeon
Murray gives Brunswick double rea.
son for celebrating Thanksgiving TO-
night by removing the government
quarantine around the city and any
person can enter Brunswick now with
out fear of certificate. Surgeon Muir
ray said to night: II have removed
the quarantine and any one can enter
Brunswick now without certificate.
A surveillance will be kept on any out
going baggage or household goods.
The railroads will resume their regular
schedules in and out tomorrow. The
Mallory line of steam ships will re-
sumo their schedules Immediately,
There have been no new cases Of fever
among the refugees lately returned
The condition of Brunswick warrants
the statement that the city Is practi-
cally safe. The outside world may i'm
plicitly trust people from Brunswick
as far as yellow fever Is concerned, and
if the people In Brunswick will be ra-
tionally careful they will suffer nc
danger themselves. If more cases oc.
COR they will be treated as sporadic and
no reports will be made Of them. In
every way good faith will be preserved
with the outside world. A. OFT, who
claims he Is q citizen Of the United
States and has refused to allow his
bedding disinfected, has been arrested
under the laws Of the city and has gtYer
bond to appear. Brunswick will be
disinfected properly but no damage
will be done to the peoples property
You can say as coming officially from
me that the epidemic Is over so far 81
the outside world is concerned, al
though think that few more cases
may occur which may cause no alarm

Burning at the Stake.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Nov. 30.-Will
Harvey and Thsmas Wilson, sons of
prominent people of Otsego, few
miles down the Kalamazoo river, have
been storing their minds recently with
the contents of dime novels on Western
eutlawry, and became imbued with de.
sires to do some thrilling and desperate
deed. Yesterday afternoon Charlie Nett

cause, fell under the ban of their dis /.
pleasure, and the two older boys de
clded to offer him up as q burnt offer.

them up the river bank to the vicinity
of the dam on the pretense of looking
after some traps they had set. They
took Harry Patrick, aged ten years,
along with them. Vixen they arrived at
secluded spot, the young fends bound
the Mattson boy toa tall sapling and
proceeded to gag him, tying a handker.
chief over his mouth 80 that his screams
could not be heard. Ttey then kindled
fire about his feet and stood back to
watch their victims struggles. Young
Patrick protested, but says he was
threatened with being thrown into tue
river If he did not keep still. Soon Matt.
sons overcoat took fire at tho bottom,
and it was evident that he was suffering
trightfully from terror and pain. The
Patrick boy could stand the horrible
scene no longer, and dashing forward
With his knife he cut the cord that bound
his young playmate and liberated him.
Frightened almost out his wits, Matt.
son threw off his burning overcoat and
ran. The young outlaws, angered at
his release, seized the rescuer and served
him as they had the first victim. His
clothes were ablaze from tho flames
about his legs, and the brave
lad would soon have paid the
penalty Of bis shivalrous rescue
Of bis companion with his life; when 9

parts Of the city, and the principal

native land four days ago, was fonnd
drowned on Claiborne street, one Of

LONDON, NV. 30.-The Sc. James

DETAILS OF THE BILL.
AS to details of the bill, l will briefly
recapitulate the saliant changes of
several schedules. In the chemical
schedule, we have transferred to the
free list quite a number of articles
used in manufactures, the most i'm.
portsnt of which is sulphuric acid, one
of the corner stones OF all chemical in.
dustry. The duty on castor oil is re-
duced from 85 to 80 cents per gallon,
and the duty on inseed oil, which was
secretly raised to 80 cents by the con-
ference committee on the Mckinley
bill, after each house had openly voted
for lower duty, we put at 15 cents a
gallon. Pig lead being reduced from
to cent pound, lead paints are
correspondingly reduced.
The Mckinley bill increased the duty
on opium prepared for smoking to $12
q pound, in the vain hope of lessening
its importation. The custom house of.
ficers on the Pacific coast declare that
this increase on duty has simply placed
In the hands of smugglers the bring
ing in Of opium, to the decentralization
Of the customs service and the loss of
over half million in revenue. The
duty proposed is believed to be collect
able, and will put the traffic under gov
eminent control and supervision.
In the pottery schedule, substantial
reductions are made Plain white
ware is dropped from the high sched.
ule In which it mysteriously crowded
itself; decorated ware is reduced from
60 to As per cent; undecorated from SIS
to 40. In common window glass, where

stead of at duties that on the common
grades frequently reach one hundred
per cent. and in some cases two or
three times that merciless figure.
Cloths and dress goods are put at 40
per cent. and clothing at 45 per cent
rates higher than the committee de-
sired, but deemed temporarily neces
sary because our manufactures have 80
long been excluded from two-thirds of
the woods of the world that they will
have to learn the art of manufacturing
! with free wool. A sliding scale is
therefore added, by which the rates In
the wooden schedule are to cone down
five points with the lapse Of i've years.
Carpets, an industry on which we will
be Independent of competition, are put
at 50 per cent. for Administer, Mo-
quette and Wilton; 20 per cent. for
Brussels, while common grades 60
down to 20 per cent.
The bill provides that the duties
shall be removed from Wool on March
l and reduced on wooden goods on
July 1.
In the silk schedule, the reduction OF
rates is smaller than in cotton or
woolen fabrics.
Sole leather is reduced from 10 to 5
per cent. Leather gloves are classified
according to material and length, and
are uniformly rated at specific duties,
which average not over rs per cent. on
the common varieties and near 40 per
cont on the fine lamb and kid plOVes

articles, like hatters' plush, are put on
the free list. The duty on cut dia.

MILLIONS LEFT BY BECK.
His Fortune Far Greater than

Columbia College and Charitab bio
Institutions BenefcIarles.

1t was learned to-day that the estate
Of Charles Bathgatc Beck. the West
Farms millionaire, who died a week ago,
instead of being worth two or three
millions, was at least worth five, and
after complete inventories had been
made might reach ten millions of dol
lars.
Mr.. Bch was a man of retiring DISPOSE
tion and led a secluded life. No one
but himself knew the actual amount of
his property. He had no near relations
and most of his vast wealth will so to
benevolent institutions
His most intimate friend was l.. J..
Jessup, II he has received "a large
legacy, the amount being in the neigh
borhood of half Il million dollars. Mir.
Jessup's attorney. Jesse Grant Roe, Of
100 Broadway. was seen by an Evening
World reporter this morning. hut he
refused to give II particulars in re-
gard to the beuest to his client, and de-
clined to be interviewed about the
will.
1t is expected that the document will
be filed for probate within a few days.
1t is now in possession Of the Farmers
Loan ana Trust COMPANY, which Is
the Company refuse to max any of its
provisions public before 1t is filed.
The chief. beneficial ries, as stated be-
fore, are all charitable institutions. and
include Columbia College, the Board Of
Presbyterian Missions, the Peabody
Home for Old Women. the Home for In
curablcs, the Society for the Prevention
of Crime. the New York Hospital and
the Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to animals.
The amount which will 20 to each
could not be ascertained. but II is certain
that they will have some five or six
millions. of dollars. to divide. between
them. A large number of small legacies
are mentioned in the will. but alto
gether, II is said, these will not amount
to Il million dollars.
1t was reported after Mr.. Bech's
death that his Will might be contested
by Matilda and Charlotte cortcs. who
claimed to be the children of Alexander
Bathrate. the testator's cousin. 1t was
learned. however. that they had hC-
ceptcd a compromise and given a release

The statement Is made, however. on
good authority that after the will is
