Less than twenty years ago thousands
were dying in this and other cities of the

bankruptcy followed in the wake of the

The yellow fever flag is flying at Biloxi
and many towns in southern Mississippi.
The reluctant announcement to-day of real
yellow fever in New Orleans will only

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The officials of
the Marine Hospital Service in the fever
stricken district have kept in telegraphic
communication with Surgeon General Wy

train was a car loaded with heavy ma
chinery and it was in this car that thirteen
men were stealing a ride and from which
seven dead ard six seriously wounded were
taken by the trainmen shortly afterwards
1t appears that the occupants of the
wrecked car were a party of men and bows

Van Buren to find employment in the cot
ton fields. When the machinery ear left
