New Orleans, Sept, s. Night fell
upon New Orleans without a single
case of yellow fever having been re-
ported to the board OF health, Rut
one important case thus far has been
developed here and death wiped that
cut The board of health through its
president, DR., Olliphant, and its prcSi-
dent pro tenn Dr. Wamsley. declared
that in spite of all reports to the con-
trary not one of the many who had
&C me hjther from Ocean Springs had
been stricken with the fatal disease
Dispatches yesterday afternoon
contained a statement made
OF the authority of the
hospital officials in Washington that
Olliphant had telegraphed DR.. Wasdin
at Mobile that two deaths had occurred
mere and there were three new cases.
olliphant aflirms with emphasis that
ne signed no such dispatch, nor did
any representative of his in the board
of health, and it was unjust to thus
create an alarm in the public mind
when there is no foundation for the
story. Yesterday at the Gelhi resi-
dence, where the first and fatal case
was reported the premises were
thoroughly impregnated with sulphur
and ii is believed that every lingering
germ therein has been killed. The
four inmates are absolutely quarau-,
tined. No one is permitted to either
enter or leave the house which will
be in charge of the board for five days
Physicians are promptly reporting
cases of fever that come under their
observation. DR.. Wamsley said four
or five doubtful cases We're reported
and members of the board of experts
have investigated them oil. In none of
them was there a trace or symptom of
yellow fevcr,
Inspectors have been sent to all gull
coast points to make a thorough cN
animation of their health and sanitary
conditions, There seems to be nc

lnt one road reports business Outgoin1
as normal. Northwestern officials said
that they are carrying somewhlt
heavier CCl signment of passengers
than ordinarily, and attributed the in
crease to the natural fear of unaccli-
mated strangers. Only one additional
- h is reported at Ocean Springs
with symptoms of yellow fever, a null
alto. No new eases have been reported
curing the afternoon. Ocean Springs
Las now been absolutely shut off from
the outside world and the only means
OF reaching the town are by wire or

Chicago, Sept. S.-Two strong points
were scored by the prosecution in the
Luetgert trial yesterday and unless
the defense is able to impeach the
testimony of two witnesses, Nicholas
Faber and Charles Hengst, their evil

weight with the jury. Nicholas Fa-
Der, an employee of Luetgert, testified
having seen Luetgert and wife enter

teuse felt that they hal undermined

MARRIED THEM UP A TREE.
Minister and Brida, Couple
Driven Aloft by a Bull.

Miss Lizzie Swanger and
Harry Bangler. her accepted
sultor, quarreled at party held
at neighbor's house, near Mon
trose, Pa. Shortly before mid
night they returned to their
homes es.--They were accompanied
by the Rev. w. Hunter. The
party had occasion to pass
through field. Here they were
pursued by furious bull and
all three took to a tree. Miss
Swanger climbed one tree and
Bangler and the minister the
adjoining two. The infuriated
bull ran around and around the
tree, believing and throwing the
earth in the air. The trio re-
nained up the trees nearly an
hour and no relief came. The
bull still stood guard.
Thinking this an excellent
time to reconcile the couple the
minister began. His work was
Gone, however, almost before he
had begun. The couple desired
to be married then and there,
thinking they were about to
meet trc sic deat1, and the min
lister ,lArried them. Bangler
had had a license in his pocket
for several weeks. The lovers
could just join hands from where
they cluug, and when they got
grip they held it, while Mr..
Hunter performed the ceremony.
When the good man had con-
cluded Farmer Stone and his two
boys drove up with a load of ice.
An explanation was hastily
spoken and the bull was driven
away, the preacher kissed the
bride and received his fee, and
the party were driven to the res
idence of Mr.. Bangler.

WORKMEN BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Terrible Explosion Of Nitro
Glycerine in New Jersey.

Three workmen were blown
to atoms and several others were
injured shortly after noon FRI
day by all explosion at the Res
pauno Nitro-glycerine works OIL
the Delaware river front, near
Woodbury., N. J.
None of the injured are seri-
ously hurt. The explosion was
felt and heard ten miles from
the mills.
The Repauno works are oper-
ated by the Duponts (of powder
making fame) and are used for
the manufacture of nitro-plvcer>
inc and gun cotton.
The explosion occurred in the
house where the nitro -glycerine
goes through one of the most
delicate and dangerous processes.
The three men who were blown
to atoms were the only occupants
of the building, and the cause of
the disaster cannot be learned.
Some of the Worknen who
were passing through the yard of
the nitro-glycerine works say
they saw the separating house
rise bodily in the air and then
they were thrown to the ground
by the awful blast.
When the separating house
had stood there was a great hole
Ill the ground and the trees for
two hundred yards around were
denuded of their limbs and twist
ed by the force of the explosion.
The bodies of the victims had
been blown into fragments which
were found scattered for a con-
siderable distance around.

Something to Think About.

Misers live in novels.
Rich men have lived in dug :
outs.
Poor men have lived in man
sions.
Men Of shoddy have liven in
palaces.
BY the house we live in so
may we not be judged, but so
will we must always be reck-
oned.
Men of genius may wear fray
ed panteloons and 60 with un>
kelnpt hair, but worn out trous<
ers and scraggy hair are not
marks Of genius, for those things
the tramps have also.
Many clerk OH his littl. paw
is dressed better than his EN-.
ployer, but he is no less a valu>
able clerk for that.
There are branches from even
the straighest beaten track of
safety, but the law of averages
accepted by the majority to fol-
low than even the successful
rules of exception.
The we'll dressed man is more
likely to be a prosperous man
than the man of shabby over
coat, and the poorly-dressed man
is more likely to be al unsuc
cessful man than the man with
tailor made clothes.
The teautiful Office may be a
den of swindlers, but it more
likely to be the business home of
a profitable business.

When John McNulty was ar
raigned in Jefferson Market
Court the other day for having
been found drunk in the hall
way of 1I3 Christopher street the
previous night Magistrate Crane
asked him what he had to say
for himself:
II but obeyed the teachings ot
the Bible," he pleaded.
II don't think you did," re-
piled the Court. "The police
man says you were drunk"
Taking the Bible used for adj
1ninistering oaths to witnesses,
McNulty turned the pages rap
idly and read from Proverbs
XXI, 81: "Give strong drink
unto hi,n that is ready to perish
and wine unto those that be
heavy of heart. Let him drink
and forget his poverty and res
member his misery no more" "
"Discharged!' was the brief
comment of the Court.
