NEWPORT'S DOWNED.

NEW BEDFORD. Mass, Aug. 2S.-
BY fast ball playing in all departments
of the game the local team got big
lead over Newport Friday. Then Man
ager Finns pets pulled out three runs.
but were unable to win. Connie Murphy
broke up Newport's chances for runs
early in the game by fast throwing to
second. Hawley pitched well up TO the
seventh and the score would have been
smaller had his colleagues paid less at
tention To the umpire and more to the
game. Anderson allowed but three sim
giles up to the seventh. \ one-hand
catch by Bean i'm the first inning in
creased his self-estimation to such an
extent that later i'm the game when
things went against his team he gave
a pleasing exhibition of how to sulk.
The hitting OF Anderson. Hernon, Kel-

Glen and McDermott were the features.

and when the excitement began over
the dengue at Edwards l sent for my
wagon, got out with my family at my
leisure, and we are now eating our own
home-raised bread and meat, cornfield
peas, chickens, eggs, etc, and really
faring better than If at Jackson, so far
as something to eat is concerned. And
then have not forgotten how to fish
and hunt, nor has old age destroyed
my fondness for such sports, and we
have had squirrel for dinner more than
once. That's not alive are going to
have more of such eating il / keep my
health and am able to get about. Pos
sums are ripe, too, and / know how to
put their tail in a crack.
The last / heard about the Senate
rial matter was to the effect that the
Hon. Jno. w. Cutrer, of Coahoma, was
the favorite, and very likely to be the
governors choice. This has been the
opinion for two weeks or more, and it
begins to look very much like he will
be the winner of the prize. The other
possibilities will not become convinced
of this fact so long as there is the re-
motest chance of any other solution Of
the Senatorial problem, of course, but
l am pretty thoroughly convinced that
they might just as we'll take down
their lightning rods. The governor ap-
preciates the fact that if he bestows
the honor on Col. Money he will make
the Lowry forces mad, and that if he
appoints Ex-Gov. Lowry, he doubles
the enmity of the Money men.
The governor was not in jackson
when the scramble for places in the
country occurred, being down in Smith
county on little personal business
for the purpose of explaining to the vo-
ters why and wherefore he vetoed the
new capitol bill last spring. 1t was
not necessary for the governor to tell
the people of Smith why he did this or
that as they just shut their eyes and
swallow him whole, anyhow, no matter
what he may do. He has made two or
three speeches of this nature here of
late, one of them being up in Leake,
where 30. P. O." holds forth, and
since that visit the old man of the Car
thagenian hasn't been doing thing to
the governor. AS to whether o. p. Q.
hath his quarrel just is not the pro-
vince of this writer at this particular
time, he has expressed himself repeat
edly on that score, and always in line
with what the correspondent of the
Times Democrat has said about it
that is, that the veto message was not
patriotic deliverance.

Who Is He =?

A citizen of Vicksburg inquiries
through the Herald show it is, that a
high public official can be guilty OF
drunkenness and disorderly conduct
on the principal street of the city OF
Vicksburg, before a large concourse OF
citizens without being arrested by the
proper authorities How is it, Mr.. Ed
itor, that the same official, while in
this intoxicated condition can violate
one of the ordinances of the city, that
which prohibits fast and reckless
driving on the streets, without his
honor, the mayor, having his officers
file the proper charges against him
Does he not know that violation OF
this ordinance endangers the lives OF
our wives and children, even though
the violation be by a high State ofd-
cial 2"

NEW ORLEANS SITUATION.

A Plain Statement of the Facts by Re-

Special correspondence of The Leader.l
New ORLEANS, Sept. 19.--Knowing
how excited people become over the
reports of yellow fever, and that New
Orleans is and has always been consid-
cred the chief point which we were to
dread, 1 will endeavor to state the
true situation here.
Up to this date there have been re-
ported 40 cases of "so-called" mark
the "so-calledo yellow fever, with G
deaths in this city. Others counted
suspicious" cases are being closely
watched. AS soon as any one gets the
least sick, he is examined by the board
Of health and invariably counted "sus-
picious," and is put under guard. Peo-
pie are afraid to let it be known here if
they have headache, cold, ETC., for
fear the board of health will be sent
for. The fever is undoubtedly conta-
gious. Some of the physicians think
it is bad type of malarial fever or
dengue, and originated from the exist
ing sanitary conditions, both in the
city and on the coast. 1t is we'll
known fact that this city, on account
of it's deficiency in drainage, is not
generally" in good sanitary condi-
tion.
You cannot depend on the reports
sent in from all parts of this State and
others, because the people in great
many instances are excited mot know
ing if this be yellow fever, that it is the
mildest type ever known or heard of
and take for granted the people will
be moved down as in '7S and other yell
low fever epidemics. am here where
l can see and hear all about it every
day, and must say, such as we have had
up to date is not as much to be dread
ed as typhoid fever, or real bad case
of measles.
People differ here very widely as to
it's being yellow fever at all, although
it has been so pronounced by the board
of health. Hundreds who passed
through '7S here, say it is not yellow
fever.
Several hundred laborers have been
thrown out of employment from the
fact that their houses could ship no
goods and it seems that panic is more
to be dreaded than an epidemic of vel
low fever by the inhabitants of New
Orleans. The fright will cost this city
thousands if not millions of dollars.
It is generally being termed "so-call-
ed" on account of the wide difference
of opinion.
The above can be relied ON as true
statement of affairs here, as far as can
be ascertained up to this date.

EDITOR LEADER: In looking over
the names of the farmers you lately
published who raised enough home
supplies for family use, it carries me
back in memory to boyhood and school
days. find six of the farmers we're
my schoolmates and from this l can
rejoice and feel proud of such rec
ord for 6 of US out of 38 shows that
while the Lord did not or has not call
ed any of us to preach, He has given
US the power and understanding of be-
ing good, practical farmers.
Hump boys, 1 must tell your names:
]. G. May, G. w. Ivy, F. M. Furr. A.
w. White, Nola White, j. w. White.
Boys, if any of you of Lincoln and
of Lawrence counties who we're school
mates of the above named six and have
left yourself out on account of Uncle
Ned or some other old darky telling
you that this was a scheme to find out
your worth, so as to raise your taxes,
just say to him, away with your CAB,
and send in your name and let's see
who you are.
Boys, there is quite number of you
who are farmers, and / hope good ones,
but would like to see your names with
those few, for when look back just
after the late war can see us going
to school, thinly clad, some with no
shoes, with the ground frozen, and 1
for one among the rest remember pick
ing cotton after the war for the first
pair of shoes l had put on my feet in
three winters. We all have had hard
times all along the line of our lives;
but when l think Of myself without
father or mother all through those
trying years, to work for wages and
pay for my board and schooling, can
scarcely see how / got through. Boys,
/ still love you all, but there is some
difference for g. w. Ivy, who without
father pulled through and took care of
his mother and the little ones his
father had left and educated himself
to the emlnence Of teacher.
Boys, q pound Of pluck is worth a
ton Of luck.

Omciai Proceedings of Special Meetings
To the Honorable Mayor and Board Of Alder.
men:
While frequent meetings are being
held because Of the dread Of epidemics
it would be highly proper to give some
attention to the condition of your own
city. The first suggestion would be tu
look to all the privy vaults and see that
the contents thereof are daily covered
with the dust of dry earth, which is
the very best disinfectant for this nui-
sance, for neither lime, soda salt or
potash are as good for this purpose;
and remember that il is an establish
ed fact that human feces dung is the
vehicle that carries deadly agencies of
three Of the most dreaded diseases of
this country, towit: Yellow fever, ty-
phoid fever and cholera. Remember
that to get rid of this nuisance all that
is needed Is plentiful covering of dry
earth, and let your ordinance look to
that end.
AS to garbage, such as waste veg
etables and meat, have them burned
or buried instead Of lying around the
back yards as fly bait. When all this
Is done the chances for contaminated
water Is much reduced.
Respectfully,
j. W. BENNETT,
County Health officer.

to avow her inability or indisposition
to defend her interests in Cuba, Sec
tary Gage holds that the responsible
ity for the success of this expedition
may properly be fixed upon Spanish
authorities as they repeatedly asserted
that all the seaports Of Cuba were IN
their possession.
In all 60 alleged expeditions were
examined. Of these Gage shows that
% were frustrated through the efforts
of the treasury department, five by
the United States navy, four by Spain,
two were wrecked, one was driven
back by a storm and one was nothing
mere than a violation of the British
foreign enlistment act. AS Spain suf-
fered no injury from these 43 failures,
it is assumed that they will be ac-
copied by Spain as evidence of the sue
cess of the United States in maintain
ing it's obligations and that a detailed
statement concerning each is unneces-
sary Gage makes no estimate of the
cost involved in patrolling the coast
which evidently has been very large,
deeming the extent and results Of the
work performed by the department a
better measure of fidelity of it's officers
to their oaths and better standard
by which to measure their efficiency.

Washington. Dec. Secretary
Gage has submitted to the state de-
partment his report upon the action
of the treasury department in sup
pressing filibustering expeditions to
Cuba in violation of neutrality laws.
Secretary Gage points out the fact that
during two years and a half only six
American vessels of an aggregate OF
1881 registered tons are alleged to
have successfully landed expeditions
from the United States in Cuba. With
the exception of the Laurada the six
American vessels alleged to have sue

Cuban waters are small tugs and IA

and obviously incapable of carrying

titles of arms and ammunitions. Three
foreign vessels of an aggregate Of 1,778
tons are alleged to have been success
full in the same effort.
Referring to these foreign vessels,

Danish steamer, Horsa, and the Brit
ish steamer, Bermuda, the secretary in
vites attention to the fact that the
crews of these vessels are required to

San Quentin till the date set for his
execution, but reversed the sentenc-

and remanded the case to the superior
court with instructions to proceed ac-
cording to law. AS the remittur was

holds that execution can only be
stayed now by issuance of a certifi-
cate of probable cause, it only remains
