A WOMAN SHOT.
Warren Furlow shot to kill Annie Olsen,
a disreputable woman, to-day, missed his
aim and only broke her jaw bone, Both
white. The MORNING News correspond
ent rode to the womans bedside with
Chief OF Police Beach and found about
fifty half-cra1y people, of all ages, sexes
and Colors, crowding in the house around
the bed, and about half Of them trying to
pull the woman's hand from her bloody
jaw while they piled her with questions.
Between a bottle of whisky and these
queStionerS the woman was in a terribly
nervous state. Chief Beach waded into
the crowd and made them scatter right
ana left. The woman, in a pitiful tone,
told her tale OF woe. She said FurlOw shot
his pistol in the hall and she ran out
to the steps with her child, a little,
tiaXen haired, pretty girl, about 8 years
old. Furlow came out and told her he
was going to kill her. She begged and
pleaded, but Furlow was determined aud
She, transhxed with fear, did not move
until the gun was fired and the ball
struck her. She then took the pistol
from him. A policeman ran up and,
with the assistance of David Davis, car
ried Furlow to jail. He fought like q
tiger but Davis, who is a powerful man,
beat him severely with the pistol. Da-
vis' hands were terribly cut from his
fight. The woman will live if lockiaw
does not set in.
QUARANTINE GUARD SHOT.
John Brock, one of the white guards on
the quarantine boat Minnie, on St
Simon's sound, was shot in the eye by the
accidental discharge of a gun in the
hands of Cnpt. Ben, A Eahm to-day. The
wound is not dangerous, but is painful,
Religious fever is now striking the ig-
noranb negroes. Julia Treatwell, who Is
taking care of Joseph Matthew'S fruit
store on New Castle street, had So
called "spell' tonight and disturbed the
few people in the surrounding neighbor-
hood before she could be quieted A
bucket Of cold water thrown over her
did the work.
NO NEW CASES AT JEsUP.
Jesup, Ga, Oct 20.-No new cases of
fever were reported to-day. The seven
under treatment are doing remarkably
well and there will probably be several
discharged in few days.
There has been general rejoicing to-
| day over the prediction Of frosU tonight
| received by wire at / O'Clock this after
noon. The only drawback has been that
| the weather has been so mild as to make
the majority doubt the accuracy Of the
prediction, still all nope 1t will be veri-
fed
1t has become painfully evident that
although the inhabitants of Jesup have
been deeply afflicted this summer, il has
not exercised a purifying effect upon the
minds of those who remained here, and
there are a few who endeavor to suppress
and distOrt the Incidents of the outcome
of the epidemic here and even go so far as
TO threaten the MORNING. News correspoR-
dent with personal resentment If matters
should be reported as they have hap
pened. The correspondent has heretofore
yielded, not through any fear of veuge-
ance, but simple for the sake of the un-
fortunate town, already burdened with
| heavy misfortunes, and also for the
| preservation of peace and har-
| mony among its inhabitants, bu iinas-
much as the courtesies have not been
| recognized, and possibly the disafected
might think that he was deferred by fear,
| everything else OF any Importance occur
ring will be reported IL verified, it max
ing no difference if it be Of public or per-
sonal interest.
TURNING TO POLITICS
1t is perfectly apparent that the end OF
the epidemic is drawing near, for some Of
our citizens whose wits it is believed have
been paralyzed by fear heretofore. are
beginning to recover themselves, and this
is made manifest by the fact
that some of them are already
beginning toagitate local poltitic matters
and to electioneer against the present
administration in the coming election In
January. This is deeply TO be regretted,
as the authorities have acted well and
nobly under the trying circumstances to
which they have been subjected, and
! while mistakes have been made it is
ungrateful and unjust to criticise their
actions adversely by attempting TO set up
| oppositions TO them at this early date.
| They have deserved well Of their city,
and as a reward it should be left TO them
| alone TO say whether they shall be candi-
| dates for reelection or not.
