The valise Thieves Hit Hard by Judge Fea-
 gin-A Total of Ninety Days.

Buck Pointer and Henry Maloney, the two white msn who were arrested some days ago on the charge of having stolen the valise of F. M. Dobson, val ued at $20, were fined $25 and 60 days extra, in the inferior criminal court yes- terday morning. The valise was stolsn from the Union Passenger Station some time ago. It was not recovered but the contents were and MT. Dobson identl- fled them.
 The two men were arrested on charges of loitering but this was done more as an excuse for holding them on the larceny case. It is thought they are members of a gang which has been operating around the passenger station, and many yalises have been stolen.
 Pointer has recently served one term in the city prison as stevedore. Some years ago hc was we'll known to the police and an old indictment was pend- ing against him f+r burglary and grand larceny when he returned. He has besn absent a number of years. Maloney is unknown to the local officers.

 One of the features during the day is
 that people of mature age have been a,-
 tackled. Heretofore the disease has been confined to children of tender age and
 boys and girls not yet grown 'so man
 hood and womarhood. Two of the late
 cases show that old people have bsen
 stricken. A conference was held this af. erncon at ,.he St. Charles hotel. Mem bers of the board of health, representa- tiyes of the Parish Medical society. and | city officials, including Mayor Flower, l were present. The situation was dis | cussed in all its phases for two hours

 were several new eases reported today

 Thirteen people wsre put off there Monday nigt," continued the dis tinguished educator. When I passed the camp this afternoon some of the refugees came out to the train. On= of them ssood under the window where l was. He was just rejoicing that some cots had been sent out. He said they had nothing to slesp on the night be- fore and very little to eat. Now, it seems to me that a city would provide comfortable quacters for the quaran- tine station, just for self protection. Of course they can't furnish a stylish ho- tel, but comfortable quarters should be provided.
 Every one who can get out convent ently is leaving Montgomery. I was in f4emminSs restaurant last night and thene were only seven people there. Again in the morning there were only five. There seems to be little far among the authorities, but there is some excitement among the masses of the people. I understood that Auditor Puri- foy was only two doors from the pho tographer, Dakin, who was supposed to have yellow fever. This man left Ocean Springs fourteen days before he was faken sick, but there was evidently something the matter with him.

mark of confidence. The petition having
reached this office but few minutes be-
fore Mr.. Ross was leaving his place OF
business for the night, a representative
of the Eagle was despatched for an an
ewer from him, formally or otherwise.
While he seemed greatly fiattered by the
number and character OF the names and
the proposed honor, yet he did not hlGe
the feeling Of responsibility which an af-
firmative answer would involve. He in
short replied if those who inspired this
movement are DESTROYS of the matters set
forth in the petition. and will pledge them
selves to use their best endeavors for the
nomination of treasurer, clerk and al
torney along the same line and ticket of
councilmen, all men who, from their

think more OF their obligations TO the
people than TO the politicians he would
accept the party's nomination and, if
elected, endeavor % the very best Of his
abilities TO not disappoint the men who
had thus so signaly honored him by
their petition. His first consideration
seemed to be for ticket which would
be a guaranty upon it's face of a har-
mony of intent and an earnest desire 10
serve the best interests OF the people in
the most economical manner If this were
not probable he did not desire to be-
come a target in a race which, even IL
successful, might leave him powerless.
Whatever else he may have said the
Eagle prefers that his own words be
used when the proper time comes.
The Eagle takes il that this settles the
matter so far as the head Of the ticket is
concerned, from the very pointed fact
that the men who inspired the move
ment and the men who signed the petition
did SO with the distinct intention and IN
derstanding that the ticket from top TO
bottom should be of the same character.
that. in short, only men whose names and
business record stand as a guaranty OF
their official course vii; be for one mo
ment considered. There being no doubt
as to the one. there can be no doubt as TO
the other. The names OF the men TO the
petition answers affirmatively every stip-
Ulation made by Mr.. Ross.
