A Mystery.

ANTWERP, Oct, 2.-This city is
greatly stirred by the solution of q
mystery which for some months past
has baffled the police and people. A
bell .ringer of st. Paul's Church, named
Nuyens, vowed vengeance against a
man named Derollus and his wife for
supposed injury, and few months ago
stole their four-year-old child, after
which he wrote its parents, saying they
would never see the child again alive.
All efforts to trace the bellringer and
the child failed. A fortnight ago the
finding of the body of the bell ringer in
the Brussels canal revived interest in
the mystery. Last evening the body
of the child was found hanging in the
vaults of St. Paul's Church.

Swami Fire.

CHICAGO JUNCTION, Ohio, Oct. q
One of the most disastrous fires in the
history of this section of the country is
Cow prevailing in the New Haven
marsh, mile and a half south of
this place. The ground is COM
posed of dry weeds and rotten
vegetation and is easily iguited.
The fire was caused by the burning
of a brush heap by a farmer and has
been burning for nearly week, and to-
day 1900 acres of the tract of 5000 is a
smoking mass. Two houses have been
burned and nearly dozen more are in
danger. The fire is burning everything
in its path.
The Hollanders celery gardens are in
close proximity and great fear if being
entertained by them as they have
nearly all of their late crop Of celery to
harvest. Several large fields of corn,
potatoes and cabbage belonging to them
have already been burned.

New OkLLA :. oct. 2.-The fever
sluu u. uIo 40. improve this morning.
No now cases have been reported but
there were reports of four deaths. The
board of health continues to find great
difficulty in its work of stamping out
the disease. Failure to report cases of
sickness is becomsng exasperatingly
common. The result is that patents
are not receiving prompt medical at
tention, and are dying where they
might be pulled through if doctors
were Immediately called In. The cases
at the yellow fever hospital are increas-
ing; there were II there last night and
others are to be removed there this
morning. A number of people were
released yesterday and to-day from
the detention camp. The Rigolets de-
tention camp has been closed. There
was no reason to maintain it because
very few people were coming into New
Orleans over the Louisville and Nash
vile road. Orders have been issued to
send all suspects from infected points
to Fontainbleau, where there are ample
Accommodations for several hundred
people. Although the number of cases
here is increasing, the board of health
has resolutely refused to modify its
quarantine regulations. Every affect.
ed point is being watched. The board
will continue to quarantine houses here
wherein fever exists. The effect will
be to prevent spread of the disease
and to give employment 10 several hun
dred men who have been thrown out
of work by the stagnation of trade.
Maj. E. j. Hamilton, the probable
successor of Chief of Police Caster, was
stricken with yellow fever to-day.
Gov. Foster has telegraphed the Gov.
ernors of Texas and Mississippi, asking
them to meet him in conference in the
interest of uniformity of quarantine re.

the Chicago platform was an assault
upon the highest court of the land
Curious authority, to be sure, for the
Times to adduce, but even if that plat.
form, did as Mr.. Hill says, mean
the reconstruction of the court by Con-
gress, it was no assault" either eI-
pressed or implied upon the court,
and when the same court a0as recon.
structed before, in the interest Of the
money power, the same men who are
now 80 pronounced in their denuncia-
ton of even q criticism of the court,
were loud in their praise of such recon
struction. But reconstruction of the
court now would be in the interest OF
equality and simple justice, by which
the rich would be compelled to pay their
iair share OF the expense Of the federal
government, by the favored legislation
of which their wealth was acquired,
and by which it is increased and pro-
tecled.
