Texas and Alabama have declared
that no people shall get off the trains
at their stations who come from this
city. Other towns, however, have re-
fused to join in the panic and say that
until yellow fever is known absolutely
to exist here they do not propose to
shut themselves in. Some of the citi-
zens have adopted more severe mea-
sures and have surrounded themselves
with shotgun guards, who would prob
ably use their weapons if necessary.
Reports to the board of health since
last night indicate a steady improve
ment in the cases of the twelve people
down with fever in one square on st.
Claude street. A board of experts will
meet during the day at the board of
health office and visit the patients in a
body for the purpose of a final dag
nosis.
Their report will be made to the
board of health tonight, and it will be
officially announced to the world
what is the nature of the disease.
The excitement of yesterday has
subsidized and the impression is grow
ing that the board of experts will de-
clare those cases not to be yellow fever,
but simply bilious, malaria or some
other kind of fever.
a dispatch from Biloxi says that
two new cases of yellow fever have
developed. No deaths have occurred.
All the patients are doing we'll. DR..
HARRISON is in receipt of a dispatch
from Pascagoula saying that case of
yellow fever has developed in that
town. There are six cases at Ocean
Springs, but no deaths.

@O~

Messrs. Raymond & Upper, owners
of the City of Brunswick, received a
telegram from Jacksonville last night,
announcing that the steamer had
burned to the waters edge on the way
from Jacksonville to Mayport, and
that all that remained of her was ly-
ing at the Mayport wharf.
The fire, it seems from the report,
originated In some unknown way just
after the City of Brunswick left Jack
sonville for Mayport. This was at
p. M. Effort was made to check the
flames, but it proved unavailing. All
possible speed was made to reach May
port and save the lives of the crew
and passengers. The portion of the
steamer that was above the water
line was about half consumed when
the dock was reached. The passengers
were gotten ashore as quickly as pos
sible, and, there being evidently no
chance of saving the steamer, the
crew followed,
The steamer quickly burned to the
waters edge at the wharf.
Mr.. Raymond said last night that
there was a little insurance on the
steamer, but did not state how much.

At the Proposed Action of the Bank of Eng
land.

lana.
London, Sept. 1.-THE important
announcement made by the Times
this morning In an article from a spe.
cial correspondent to the effect that
the directors of the Bank of England
have consented to hold one.fifth of
the banks reserve in silver has caused
much excitement on the Continent.
The governor of the Bank of Eng
land, Albert George Sandman, when
questioned on the subject today, re-
fused to confirm or deny the state
ment. From other Bank of England
officials, however, it was learned that
the article was probably sent out at
the instance of the government in
order to ascertain the temper of the
people on the subject before giving a
final answer to the United States
monetary commission.
The Pail Mail Gazette this after
noon, commenting upon the report,
says: "This startling rumor is such q
bolt from the blue that we would fain
believe there must be some mistake.
Should the suggested action of the
bank have substantial foun dation in
fact, the whole commercial world will
Immediately rise upin arms and pro-
test against so dangerous an innova-
tion."
The Contemporary Review darkly
hints at pressure from high quarters
and, with equal mystery, suggests
weighty affairs of the state as the pos
sible explanation for this sudden and
unexpected departure from the
straight and narrow path. "But the
business of TIE comfy" it says, "will
not be satisfied with any vague and
unauthorized statements of this kind"
and demands an official pronounce
ment.

Paine, Murphy & Co.'s Grain Letter.
Savannah, Sept. 11.-About the
same weakness characterized the mar
ket today as week ago. Last Satur-
day the anticipation of heavy receipts
on Tuesday morning was the depress-
ing factor, while today, expected
large increase in the visible supply and
the possibility of less bullsh statis-
tics from abroad exerted a bearish in
fiuence and checked the good specula-
tive demand that was apparent yes
terday. But the weeks market as a
whole has been favorable to holders,
and an advance of over 3 cents was
recorded, over three cents of which
was lost today. Liverpool closes at
about four cents advance over last
Saturday aud the strength is in the
foreign markets together with an in
creased export demand and continued
liberal clearances.

Affair at Lat

SITUATION OMNIBUS WITH DANGER.
Sullen Threats Among the Miners -Four
Men Died Yesterday Soldiers
Off for the Scene.

Hazletop, Pa, Sept. 11.-Nlneteen
dead and Al wounded is the record of
the WInchesters welded by the dep
uty sheriffs at Latimer yesterday af-
ternoon. Eleven of the unfortunates
dropped dead in their tracks under
the terrible battery, four more died
during the night and four were added
to the record this morning. The
work of Identifying the dead was
actively going on all night and is still
so far from complete that an accurate
list Of the victims will not be obtain
able for some time.
The ninth regiment, third brigade,
under Colonel Dougherty, of Wilkes
barre, were the first detachment of
state militia to arrive. They came
after O'clock this morning and
camped on the common in the centre
of HaZletOn. Coroner Bowman has
impaneled a jury and an inquest in
the bloody affair will be held this af-
ternOOn. So far from being wildly
excited this morning this place is per-
vaded by sort of sullen quiet which
appears ominous. All sorts ofTumors
are afoat-One to the effect that 5000
strikers from the south side miners
are marching on Hazeton with the
purpose of wreaking vengeance for
the shooting. 1t was later reported
that they had dispersed upon learning
of the presence of the troops.
The indignation against the depu
ties is running high and the charge Is
publicly made that there was no ne
cessity for the horrible slaughter. The
miners, it is declared, were not armed
in any way and if the deputies feared
trouble single shot over their heads
would have dispersed them. The fact
is undisputed that many of the VIC
Tins were shot through the back
while flying from the guns of the
deputies.

An hour or two, or a day for
sightseeing in Philadelphia? Spend
the time here.
The new Jewelry store, Thir-
teenth and Chestnut streets, is a
wonderland of elegance. You might
easily think that prices would be
excessive amid such surroundings.
But there are good many surprises
here.
Right above is the Millinery store
two Salons of Frenchy elegance
that are by all odds the handsom-
est millinery show rooms in the
land, or in the world, for that mat
ter.
In the larger Millinery Salon we
have the collection of Dresses and
Wraps that has been brought in its
entirety from the Brussels Exposi-
ton. The display of Paris Gowns
and Wraps is in the vast space ad-
joining.
The newly-arranged Lace store
is very elegant and holds laceS that
deserve place in permanent ex-
hibltS. Everything is for sale.
The heart of the store is given
to Dress Goods-the most elegant
fabrics being in the Salon, south of
center.
Take any elevator to the Third
floor and toward Market street you
will find the new home for Oriental
Rugs. Magnificent pieces of weav-
ing, some quite rare. The finest
rug is $25OO.
There will be many more ele-
vatOrS running before long. They
are building on all sides.
Next, trip through the China
store, second floor, center. Cut
glass, art goods and tableware are
the attractions.
Then to the Basement. The $4,000
OrcheStrion plays, morning and
afternoon. We have sold several.
These now here will soon be gone.
The Humber Bicycles-royalty

ing them at not much above half

after its arrival. $500.
