A BOUNDARY QUESTION.
Virginia and Maryland Have IA Dis
pute on Hand.

Richmond. Va, Oct. 15-.Gov. Lowndes
of Maryland has informed Gov. OFerrall
that in his opinion it is necessary to have
the boundary line between Maryland and
Virginia in the Pocomoke sound and river
established and that he. himself. will have
the matter attended to.
Gov. Lowndes, in his letter says in part:
"Whue l believe the work or re-marklng
the boundary line should be carried on un-
der the joint supervision of and at the
joint expense of the states of Maryland
and Virginia, yet, In view of the evident
disinclination of the state of Virginia to
take part in this work. and because of the
absolute necessity that the boundary line
should be so marked as to leave no further
ground for controversy, i have to advise
your excellency that l will at once cause
the boundary line, as laid down by the
Black & Jenkins award. to be located and
permanent beacons or other marks placed
thereon, in order that the same may be
easily designated"
The matter referred 10 has been repeat
edly investigated by both the states con
cerned, and Virginia has always taken
the ground that the present boundary
line is the one laid down by the Black 81
Jenkins award.
-Four years ago the legislatures of both
states appointed special committees, who
went over the ground very carefully, anu
the Virginia committee afterward report
ed In favor of retaining the existing
boundary line The Maryland people de-
cline TO accept this line.

ATLANTA's SMALLPOX rA1Nr.
The situation Taking On a More Sc
riOus AsDCct

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 15.-The smallpox sit
uation is assuming serious aspect In
this city. There are now eleven cases in
the pest house, half dozen having been
discharged, and several others are con-
fined in the detention camp because they
were in contact with affected ones.
To-day negro man was picked up on
Marietta street. He was sitting on the
curb-stone too weak to walk. He told the
police that he had gone to a physician
complaining of illness and the doctor told
him that he had smallpox and should
go to the pest house. He was immedl-
ately taken there by the agents of the
health board.
Another case was developed at the city
stockade among the prisoners, and now
the whole camp is under quarantine. So
far there have been in all about twenty
cases reported to the authorities, or rath-
er discovered by them as the negroes
among whom the disease is confined take
every precaution they can TO prevent the
authorities from getting hold of them
when they become victims of the dis.
ease. They do not want to be sent to the
pest house. There have been no deaths
as yet, and the only parts of the city in
fected are Marietta and Decatur street
neighborhoods, which are inhabited by the
dirtier class of negroes.
To-day the board of health held a spe-
cial meeting to consider the situation, and
determined to employ a corps of physl-
clans to make compulsory vaccination
throughout the city.

HIS client.
Chicago, Oct. 15.-The intensely hct
weather of to-day had but little effect
upon the attendance at the Luetgert trial.
The court room was packed and hundreds
of persons were unable to gain admit
tance. Attorney Vincent, chief counsel
for the defense, continued his address to
the jury. His arguments were principally
directed toward the reasonable doubt as
to the death of Mrs. Luetgert. He vigor-
ously attacked the police officials for their
alleged brow-beating of witnesses partic-
ularly in the case of Mary Siemmering,
whom, he declared, the defendant had
treated more like a daughter than an en-
ploye. The witnesses for the prosecu-
ton were held UP to scorn, and Judge
Vincent declared that the prosecution had
done nothing but throw mud at his client

among his effects.
The Morning News of Friday contained
the following: "The demented German

"Franck, in charge of Deputy Sheriff

FROM GALLONS TO ASYLUM.
Florida Has Serious Aspect Con-
fronting Her.

fronting Her.
Tallahassee, Fla, Oct. 15.-A remarka-
BILE condition of affairs confronts the peo-
pie of Florida in the case of R. w. Wilkes,
who choked a woman to death in Jackson
vile. He was tried and escaped the gal
lows on a plea of insanity, though no~one
ever for a moment doubted his guilt.
He has been confined in the state in
sane asylum at Chattahoochee for several
months, and Wilkes is reported as saying
that he is not crazy, and that his attor-
ney induced him to play the role of a
crazy man. It is also said that the physl-
clan at the asylum is convinced that
Wilkes is not crazy and never has been.
A red-handed murderer, on a false plea
of insanity, enjoying his ease and COM
fort in a state institution, at the expense
of the people, is surely lamentable state
of affairs, and one for which there seems
to be no remedy.
