BABY UNDER A HOUSE.
It's Mother a Widow Who Refuses to
Tell Who its Father is

Griffin, Ga, Oct 11.-This morning
about l o'clock Charles Floy d reported to
Officers j. M. Gossett and S. S. Floyd
that he had heard a baby crying under a
house at the Griffin mills and asked that
the matter be investigated. The officers
began an investigation, calling in DR.. j.
NJ. Kelly, the chairman of the police COM
mittee The noise was soon located under
the house of widow by the name
of Rocquemore, who was then sick in bed.
On investigation babe was found in dry
goods box under the house. 1t was but a
few hours old Mrs. RocQuemore was
asked about the baby, but denied all
knowledge Of its parentage, and her old
est daughter, Mrs. Barnett, seconded her
in her denial until officer Gossett insisted
upon Dr. Kelly making an examination,
when the widow broke down and said
that she was the mother of the child, and
that a man who had now left Griffin was
the father but she refused to divulge his
name. She said that the baby was put
under the house at II o'clock in the morn
| ing by her daughter, Mrs. Barnett, who
thought it was dead, and that the reason
for so doing was that she wanted the
! family to escape disgrace. The baby is a
well-developed boy, and she has taken it
to care for and TO acknowledge as her
| own, but she refuses to disclose its
| fathers name.

Commenting upon the full table DR..
Horlbeck observes: In the above list the
great preponderance was among the
males, and the great exemption from the
disease among the black race is evident"
Speaking of the same disease DR. Ram
sayssays: THE unseasoned negroes were
not free from its ravages, but they es-
capped oftener than the white strangers,
and when attacked they had the disease
in lighter degree, and if properly treated
were more generally cured" 1t is not at
all improbable that this subject will be
brought up for consideration before the
highest medical authority in the United
States at some future time. If so it will
furnish food for much reflection and dis
cussion. Has the character of yellow
fever changed, or is the Brunswick epi-
demic merely an exception to all the rules
which have heretofore governed the dis
ease

AN INsOLVRNT BREWER.
Jacob Gebert Files Petition in the
Superior Court.

odSOO OtpSrC GllSS q GeUlClOn IN the
Superior Court.
Jacob Gebert has filed his petition in
Insolvency in the Superior Court The
liabilities are stated to be 81, 2l2 partly
secured, and the real estate assets 81, 49,
with membranes amounting to S23, 400
personal property amounting to 81, SIS,
and homestead with a net value over
membranes of 50, 400.
Gebert makes the following allegations
regarding his inability to meet his liabii-
ties:
Your petitioner alleges that his ina
bility 10 pay his debts is owing to some
business reverses occurring in the last
lew years. He was engaged in an unsuc-
cesstui mining enterprise, sustained a
severe loss by fire, and has invested money
IN many enterprises which produce no
revenue, but require the expenditure of
money to keep and maintain, and al
though many of these enterprises may in
time, by prudent management, become
profitable, yet at the present time petit
TONER is unable to realize anything
thereon, and has not sufficient means to
pay all his just debts and liabilities. or to
pay those who are pressing for thenimme-
diate payment of their demands; and as
he is unable to pay all his debts, he does
not desire to give any one creditor a
preference over another, but desires that
all should be treated alike, and he there
fore has made a cession of his property in
order that the same may be ratably dis
tributed among all his creditors and he
may be discharged from his liabilities -

The courtroom at the Palmer trial
yesterday was crowded with people eager
to hear the evidence. Thomas Mckinney,
Judge Catlin, Timothy Lee and Palmer's

Afternoon Session.

William Boyne entered his protest. He
said there were about $4,000 people to be
consulted in this matter, and they ought
to have chance at a general election to
express their opinions on the subject.
He could not see anything in the PROPOSE
ton for the benefit of Sacramento.
PETERSON NOW OPPOSED TO IT.
W. +. Peterson said he was opposed to
annexation, as he did not think 1t was for
the interest OF Sacramento. lie had been
for it at first, but bad looked over the
ground and could not see any eligible
sites for factories. a business man will
not ask that land may be given him to
build on, but invests his money and asks
other capital to join him. Annexation
would only increase taxes and turn the
trade of Woodland away from us. If
annexed. Sacramento will have to sur
round the locality with levee and build
bridge, which will make taxes 3 per
cent. We don't want to buy Reeds
ranch.
DIR. Dixon asked Peterson what au-
thority he had for stating that levee
would have to be built, and the latter
stated that it would be necessary in order
! to protect the factories.
Mr.. Lubin asked if he Lubin) had ever
stated that Reeds ranch was to be bought,
and after repeated reiteration of his ques-
| ton, finally obtained from Peterson the
answer that be had not done So but had
said they wanted to buy property.
r. II. BEAMER
of Woodland, said that their attorney
was unavoidably absent, but since the
speeches of Sacramentans they did not
/ feel his absence SO much. He was satisfied
that if annexation was put to a vote in
! Sacramento it would be defeated five TO
one He pointed out on a map of y olo
County the territory desired to be an
! nexed and said that Mr.. Lubin's argu-
ment would react against him. If he
wanted to take this strip, let him take the
whole river front below. He only wishes
to take the strip that suits his purpose for
factories. The value of the property is
not the question, but was it fair that y olo
should be deprived of this territory. He
was certain the people OF the district dc
| not wish to be annexed. He was satisfied,
as was Senator Dray, that some motive is
concealed in this request. The Wood
land people had received Mr.. Lubin as
gentlemen should, but they did not then
understand the question as they now do.
The Yolo people asked to be left in pos
session OF their property. Neither
Woodland nor Washington wished Il
part with it. He hoped the board would
report to the Legislature against the
measure.
In answer to question by DIR. Dixon
he stated that he would not admit that
majority of the landowners were in iavol
OF annexation. He was willing to leav,

He did not want any man to say that
he had stood in the way Of SacraNento's
prosperity, but he was unable to see
any benefit in the plan. If the Super
visors realize it, the course of events is
toward the division of counties, and not
their enlargement, and this will create a
demand from the southern part of the
county for division. The Yolo Super
visors require the residents of Washing

taxation, and this board will do the same.
