instance only shows more clearly how
nearly impossible it would be to foul the
waters of the Savannah river by any pop
ulation the city is likely to have in the
next one hundred years.
The proposed outlet could not possibly.
in any way. be dangerous to the city's
health now or in the future. 1t is planned
in accordance with established sanitary
laws and theories and is also backed by the
practical demonstration of scores of other
cities whose death rates have materially
decreased after constructing similar out
lets.
The whole matter is, as you say, one
for careful consideration, but we should
not allow our judgment to be warped by
plausible theories which are not estab-
lished by fact, and which are contradicted
al every point by the experience of other
cities. Percy Sugden,

GORDON is DISCHARGED.

The Judge Decides That the Louisville
Tragedy Was JustfhabIe Homicide.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 1O.-The city
court was crowded again yesterday
when the case of Fulton Gordon,
charged with the murder of his wife
and Archie Brown was recalled. After
arguments were completed and the case
closed Judge Thompson announced that
he could not hold the prisoner and that
he would discharge him, as an object
lesson to other adulterers. In explana-
ton, the judge said that there was no
evidence of guilt on Gordon's part, but
that the adulterer and adulteress stood
on the verge of an abyss of ruin and
death and that their fate was only
what could be expected. Thus ends
the last chapter to the most sensational
tragedy in the history of Kentucky.

WARDEN CHASE MIDDLE.

The Kansas PenTtentiary Directors Find
Themselves Unable to Obey the Supreme
Courts Order.
LEAvENwoRTH Kan, May 10.-The
board of directors for the Kansas peni-
tertiary met here yesterday to settle
up the accounts of the institution for
April and May, during which time
Warden Chase has been suspended and
Deputy Warden Markum has had
charge, by order of Gov. Morrill,.
A mandamus from the supreme court
was laid before the board directing
the accounts to be audited. The ac-
counts were presented, sworn to by
Chase as warden, and the board re-
fused to consider them on the ground
that he had been suspended by the
governor. Deputy Warden Markum
was requested to certify the accounts,
but he refused point blank to do so,
upon the demand of Chase. The board
of directors is composed of two
populists and one republican, and
one of the populis.s stood
with the republican as against
recognizing Chase as warden. It is as
serted by Chase that Gov. Morrill, de-
manded of the board the removal of
Markum and Chief Clerk Prather for
characterization, but it did not comply
with the demand. The board left last
night for Topeka to lay their case be-
fore the supreme court.

well-stocked tray of provisions. These
were spread on q little square table,
neatly covered with clean linen.

the favor from the dishes of buttered

New York Mi1Iionaires GObbling Up the
Land of Flowers.

PALM BEACH, Fla, May 10.-A big
traffic fight is on between two New York
millionaires, if current reports are true
1t is announced by j. ]. Mcdonald, one
of the contractors for II. M. Flagler of
New York, that he has closed contract
with the millionaire for an immense hotel
at Biscayne Bay, on the Florida east
coast, over $50 miles south of Jackson
Vile.
The firm of Mcclure s. Mcdonald
has already begun the erection of an
other bedroom hotel at Palm Beach, on
Lake Worth. McDonald's statement is
the basis for many railway and steam
ship rumOrs, among which the following
appears to be well authenticated. Mr.
Flagler will extend the east coast line
from Lake Worth to Biscayne Bay, and
there put in service feet of fast ships
to ply between Florida and Nassau. and

trail and Peninsular railway, which is
an active competitor of the Plant system,
is said to have close traffic arrangement
with the Flagler transportation lines, and
a sharp contest for business all the way
from New England to the Gulf has been
precipitated. A sharp fight will be made
for the Bermudas, the Bahamas and the
West India mail contracts.

Gresham Has Same Disease that Carried
on the PIumsd Knight
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1O.-Dr. W.
G. Johnston, the physician who is at
tending Secretary Gresham, has dis
covered that the Iatter's symptoms are
almost identical with those from which
Secretary Blaine suffered for many years
prior to his fatal illness. The late Mr..
Blaine WAS the victim of q chronic
stomach disorder. brought on by indis-
Greet habits of dieting and exercise. This
accounted for the sudden fainting spells
to which he used to be subject, and
which, at times, created SO much alarm
among his family and friends.
A story was related today by one OF
the dining room attaches of the Airing
ton to show how thoughtless the
secretary of state is in the matter of
dieting. There is standing order that
the gaests shall write their own break
fast orders to prevent complaints against
the walters This rule is strictly adj
hered to. A few weeks ago Mrs. Gresh-
am asked the manager, Mr.. Bennett, to
relax the rule and permit the waiter
to order breakfNst for the secretary.
Mrs. Gresham explained that her hus-
band was so much absorbed in affairs of
his office and took so little thought of
his meals that he was not competent to
give his orders, and that his absent
minded and careless method of taking
nourishment was seriously undermining
his constitution. DR.. Johnston has al
ready given imperative orders concern
ing the secretary's dieting in case he re-
covers, and pointed out Mr.. Blaine's case
as an object lesson.
