Special Master Craige Takes Testi-
mOny i'm n Sensational Railroad

mOny i'm n Sensational Railroad
Case.
Raleigh, N. c., Sept. IA second hear
ing was had to-day at Salisbury before
Special Master Kerr Craige. touching the
question as to whether or not there was
an fraud on the part of the directors In
the recent releasing of the North Caro-
lima railroad to the Southern railway.
In the disposal of the injunction pro-
ceedings before him, this was the form in
which United States Judge Simonton put
the case into the hands of the special
master, asking that this point be decided
before he went further. There were emil
nent counsel on both sides, and strong at
tempts were made to establish legal fraud,
the most striking feature, probably, of the
evidence being the production by eX-Judge
Avery of the minutes of the board where
in, as alleged. vouchers are established
showing the use of s., 900 for lobbying pur-
poses. Another minute of wrong-doms
was said to be that which authorized
Alexander to bring the board to Raleigh
during the session of the legislature al
the expense of the North Carolina rail-
road

One additional death has been reported
at Ocean Springs with symptoms of yellow

No new cases had been reported during
the afternoon. Ocean Springs has now
been absolutely cut off from the outside

the town are by wire or mail.

In the Associated Press dispatches last
night it was strongly lntimated that the
yellow fever at Ocean Springs had been
communicated from Ship Island, where
the federal government maintains a quar-.

The island is within sight of Ocean

sissippi board of health, said:

a menace to the health of the people of

voted to quarantine or to shipping, and

DID THE BRIGGS co DOWN.
A Schooner With Arms For the Gu
ban Insurgents Is Lost.

Philadelphia, Sept From information
brought to this port tonight by the Brit
ism steamship Straits of Dover, from San
tiago De Cuba, there is reason to fear that
the schooner Donna T. Briggs which sail
ed from New York three weeks ago with
arms and ammunition for the insurgcnt
army has foundered.
The steamer brought word that the
Briggs had not arrived on the coast of the
province, and that nothing has been heard
of her. Her cargo was intended for Gen
Garcia, who is encamped in the mountains
near Baracoa on the north coast of the
province, awaiting the arrival of the yes
sci.
She was deeply laden with a dead weight
cargo of shot and shell when she left New
York. Soon afterward a tropical cyclone
swept the Bahama Islands, and IL is not
unlikely that the Briggs went down.
The Dauntless which, It Is claimed was
to have met her and taken on board the
cargo, still remains at Savannah nothing
being able eveH|to locate the Briggs.

a traveller in Venezuela gives an in
terestiDg description Of the fish of the
Orinoco country. He says the party sew
eral times came in contact with the
CaTib fish, which are the most ferocious
inhabitants of the water known. The
fish are not over IA inches long, but
they travel in schools. Their teeth are
three cornered. Any living object which
attracts their attention is attacked with
fury. Mr.. Thompson tells Of an Indian
woman who entered the water TO fill u
bucket. She was attacked by the fish
and reached shore only to die in 10
minutes. The flesh was literally torn
from her body. Mr.. Dart, who was
with Mr.. Thompson, caught one Of the
fish and pulled it upon the bank. He
held the carib under his foot while he
pointed at the peculiar teeth with his
finger With quick movement the car
id Topped out from under Mr.. Darts
foot and seized him by the finger, cut
ting that member to the bone. The fish
frequently have been known 10 bite or
binary fishhooks in two.
Another fish which the party often
came across was the morccoto, the fla
vor of which is like Lake Superior
whitefish, only more dolicate. The mo
rocoto is provided with molar teeth and
subsists on vegetable matter, which it
thoroughly masticates before swallow
ing. Another peculiar creature found
