A farmer wants to know if Nelson,
the Republican candidate for clerk
ever worked at anything. So far as
known he has never done a days
work since he has been in Yelling
ton, excepting the short time he
was employed by County Clerk Sadler,
by whom he was discharged, as Sadler
says privately, for lncompetency
His chief employment has been in
looking for "snaps"-taking advan-
tage of the unfortunate circumstances
of farmers and others. BE worked

No DECLINE
In the Number of Yellow Fever
Cases at New Orleans.
There Has Been No Increase in the
Malignancy of the Disease.
Four Deaths From the Disease and Forty
One New Cases Reported Thursday
The Existing Copditions Are Not
in Favor of Checking the Plague.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 15.-It was the
same old story here Thursday. The
yellow fever situation showed no de-
cline in the number of cases reported.
The death column was about normal.
What was said in this report Wcdnes-
day night was borne out by Thurs
days figures. There has been no
increase in the malignancy of the dis
ease. Wednesday record of nine deaths
was exceptional. 1t was o'clock Thurs
day night before third as many
deaths were reported as had been in
the previous "a hours. The existing
conditions are not favorable for quick
stamping out of the disease. The
weather is warm and sultry, and un-
usual for the season, and if it keeps up
there will be little improvement for
the time being.
Prof. Metz said Thursday evening that
up to dark there has been 719 cases al
together of yellow fever here and ~;
foci of infection. Since the beginning
Of the sickness, 1853 foci have been alb
solutcly wiped out, and there remained
Thursday evening but 2G0, with APP
plOAlhldlCly olJ SdSCo uh'tSI IICdIhCub.
The figures, the doctor said, were graf.
flying, owing to the fact that they
showed that good work had been done
through sanitary methods in removing
places that if left alone might have
helped to breed an epidemic.
AS reported in previous dispatches,
residents of the vicinity have protested
against the reception by Touro infrm-
ary of patients suffering from yellow
fever. Rabbi Leucht and DR.. Loeber,
however, contend that there is no
danger in receiving the patients
in the hospital and that they
will continue to do SO. During a
month 20 cases have been treated
in the hospital. Five have died, four
have been discharged and 20 are still
being cared for. Yet not u single case
of the fever has originated in the in
stitution, and the system OF isolation
and disinfection is so perfect that the
disease has been confined to a single
quarter of the buildings devoted for
the time being to handling cases of yell
low jack. Sixteen of the cases have
been treated by the hospital free of
my charge.
The board of health officially reports:
Gases of yellow fever Thursday, Al;
leaths Thursday, A. total cases of vel.
ow fever to date, 726; total deaths
rom yellow fever to date, 81; total
,ases absolutely recovered, 331; total
,ases under treatment, 314.

Brutal Act of a Negro Woman.

MAYF1ELD, KY, Oct. ia fever of
intense excitement was created here
Thursday over the brutal act of a Ne
gro woman in an attempt to burn to-
death white woman named Mrs.
Brents McKelvy. The Negro woman
entered the McKelvy homestead and
demanded of Mrs. McKelvy her jewelry
and money. Upon her refusal to give.
up her valuables the black virago
threw Mrs. McKelvy across red hot
stove and held her until she received
probably fatal burns. The Negress
then made her escape.

The family left Port Angeles on

dren look stout and healthy.

Business Men to Be Given an Oppor.
tunity to Show Their Colors on
the Stop Over Question.
The Bo.rd OF Trade will tonight meet
in their room in the Crosby 4 Hill build
ing. The question Of securing stop-over
privileges is to be considered. The OBJ
ject will be to secure them and to secure
them at once. Not next spring, not next
fall, but now. To secure such accom-
modations it is absolutely necessary that
the merchants and business men of the
city support the Board Of Trade in their
work. For the board to attempt to secure
anything from the Pennsylvania Railroad
without being absolutely sure of the sup
port of the men who would be benefited
thereby would be folly.
This fact the Board recognizes and in
order to assure themselves of the CO.
operation of the commercial interests
they not only invite, but request the
attendance of the live business men OF
the city. 1t is case of "make a spoon
or spoil a horn," and it depends alto.
gether on the people who are interested.
Secretary Daniel W. Taylor, of the
Board Of Trade, says that the matter will
either be put in definite shape or dropped
at this meeting. There is no article in
use in any section Of the country covered
by the line Of the railroads running
through this city that cannot be bought
to better advantage here than elsewhere.
Every single article used or wanted in
any household or on any farm on the
Peninsula can be purchased right here in
Wilmington. Freight rates are less by at
least 20 miles than from Philadelphia
and transportation cuts quite large fig.
ure in the expense.
The lack of stop over privileges which
has existed always is in large measure
responsible for the fact that the residents
of the lower part of the State do not take
advantage of these facts They have be.
come SO used to the sensation of being
carried through Wilmington that they
never think of it as purchasing place
If without cost to themselves, they could
stop over here and investigate the line
carried by local merchants, many thous.
ands of dollars which now roll through
here each year would find it's way into
the tills Of Wilmington stores,
Tonight will show whether the Will
mington merchant is on par with q
cross roads storekeeper or whether he is
really wide awake, progressive business
man. From the sentiments expressed
among them there will be a large attend
ancc.

FLYING MACHINE DRAWSA CAR
Experiment on the Pennsylvania
Railroad Secures Il Speed Of
Three Miles an Hour.

Mousr HOLLY, n. j., Dec. 1.-For the
past few days a flying machine brought
here by Prof. Langley, Of Washington,
and Prof Elffeth Watkins, OF New York,
has been attached to a car on the Med
ford Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad
to demonstrate whether the machine
could propcl Il car.
The experiments were conducted on
the Mcdford Branch Of the Pennsylvania
+. II. The machine was attached to Il fat
car. The car was dragged along at tI>'
rate Of three miles an hour which
Gem 4 to please .thc professors very
mu y. Prof. Langley says the propclers
do not rcvolve fast enough to get the best
results, and that he can easily perfect
tli. detect and have u better and stronger
machine. On the whole, however, the
tests do not appear to have been very
satisfactory. The machine was taken
away today and shipped to Camden. 1t
is said some improvements will be made
there and then the experiments con-
tinucl.
There is gasoline engine in the ma
chine and the power is supplied to two
propcllers about four feet long, and they
make about 600 revolutions minute.
The two professors are OF the opinion
that a machine can be constructed that
will draw Il car at the ordinary rate OF
speed not allowed on railroads

Fathers Awful Vengeance.

EVERGREEN, Ala, Dec. 1.-Coot King
a farm hand on the plantation of Will
lam Ellis near here, was killed yester-
day afternoon by Mr.. Ellis alone, he
refusing all assistance, though hundred
or more Of the neigLbors gathered in
the forenoon and We're anxious to have
hand in the affair.
William Ellis is one Of the most prom
in mt planters in Alabama, and is a man
of considerable wealth. His eighteen
year-old daughter is a handsome and ac-
complished young woman, and it was an
assault upon her committed by King
that caused the killing.
Mr.. Ellis captured King yesterday
morning, and kept him tied and pris-
oner in his house until afternoon. He
cool!y informed others who had been
apprised Of the offence and had collected
in a mob that he would deal to the negro.
unaided and alone, the punishment that
he deserved, and commanded them to
disperse.
He marched King to nearby swamp
in the afternoon, hanged him to tree
and riddled his body with bullets. He
left the body hanging, returned to his
home and stated that the negro had been
lynched, and that nobody was respon-
sible for it but himself.
1t is the first time in the South that
a man has been sllmmarily executed by
one man, and SO coolly and deliberately
under such circumstances.
