Pearisburg, Va, Oct. 26.-Special. -

tectives, placed George Brown, n negro,
in Jail here yesterday evening charged
with shooting at JAS. Urquhart, brake
man on the Norfolk and Western railroad.
on July 20, 1897, near Eggleston, this
county The negro, with another tramp
was stealing ride on freight going
east on the morning of July 25. Brake
man Urquhart ordered hir, off the train
He jumped to the ground and fired five
shots at the brakeman, none taking
effect, although two struck the car upon
which he was standing. At Eggleston
Springs the conductor with other parties
tried to arrest the negro and some fifteen
or twenty shots were fired but the negro
made his escape. The railroad company
put their detectives on his track. Last
week one of ttem went hunting near
Vickers, employing a small boy named
Irving Jones, living in that neghborhood,
TO show him where to shoot squirrels.
This boy was a nephew of George Brown
and evidently must have talked too
much. Anyhow Brown was located and
arrested at Upland, w. Va, and brought
back to this State Brown waived an ex :

Washington, Oct. 26.---Over 800, OO0 of
alleged fraudulent warrants on the Uni

Creek Indian nation in Indian Territory
have been discovered by government nti-
thorities. The alleged fraud was perpe-
trated i'll connection with the payment of
the Greek Indian hation debts, and only
the barest details have reached here.
Congress, by II recent enactment, au-
tnorized the liquidation of Indebtedness
of the Creeks, amounting to.S333, 300, in

OF that tribe now in the Treasury for
their benefit The work of paving Off
was begun months ago, but when the
warrants were presented, it was found
that the amount paid, Instead of 1888
OO0. as authorized, had reached 1852, 900.
Special Agent w. H. Zeverly, of Mis-
souri,, formerly confidential agent for Sec
rethry Francis, and Special Agent Ross
were Immediately dispatched to make au
investigation OF the discrepancy. Mr.
Zeverly left here October 4. Since then
the Two officials have been working on the
case, and advices III ON them now show
that over $50, 900 worth of warrants were
fraudulent Supplementng this is the
fact that one of those implicated made u
confession yesterday.
1t was found that many old warrants
to which no consideration had ever at
tach:d had been revived and paid under
the process OF tribal approval, and that
many new warrants had been issued and
paid in the place of old ones. oa which
full payment already had been made.
The matter promises to prove a great
sensation in the Territory. The facts
have been reported to the Department of
Justice, and the case is now in the hands
of the United States district attorney
there for prosecution
Special Agent Ieverly is on the way to
Washington to lay the complete facts

TESTING A FEVER CURE.
Or. SaraneIli Has Been Able to
Cure the Lower Animals.

Bue 1os Ayres Argentina, Oct 90
DIR. Sanarelli, who has been in Uruguay
many months studying the yellow fever
problem, and who recently announced his
discovery of n curative antitoxin for the
disease, has been interviewed again as to
his work.
In the first place DIR. Sanarelli stated
that American physicians who have ex.
pressed opinions as to his discovery are
completely mistaken rs to it's uses. 1t is
not serum to he used for incubation to
prevent yellow fever, but serum which,
he believes, will cure it,
He said he had inoculated many dogs,
horses and other animals with a serum
which was intended to give them a m lid
form oil fever and immuniZe them. This
method he found to be slow. difficult aud
varying in ts results, according to the
class of animals of which experiments
were made In order to immunize n
horse he found :noculation -~ould have to
he made at intervals covering fourteen
months.
Then DR.. Sanarelli turned his attention
to the experiments which resulted in the
discovery of the curative serum He
first inoculated some of the lower ami
mails in order to give them the yellow
fever, and then tried his curative serum,
animals were almost dead with the gen.
uine yellow fever when the curative
serum was injected. In each ease they
recovered.
The doctor believes the same results
would follow the snme treatment of
man who su tfered from the fever. though
as yet he has been unable to make prac-
tical test on a man. He states that n
human being will not yield SO readily to
the fever, and, therefore, he may have to
make minor changes in his treatment
after testing it. The new serum, if COM
pared with others intended for preventive
or curative purposes, will he found far
above them in efficacy, DIR. SanarelIi
says, though it is not yet perfect.
Before announcing his final conclusions
and the composition of his serum DIR.
Sannrelli will try to make more potent
pfeparation for experiment on fever..pa-
tient. He will soon leave Montevideo for
ltio Janeiro, where he will continue h
experiments

BRYAN AGAINST TAMMANY.
a Letter From Ex- Gov. Stone Creates
Some Excitement.

Some Excitement.
New York, Oct. 26.-The Tamnany
leaders and campaign managers were
thrown into panic yesterday by the
news that w. j. Bryan favored the cleo
ton of Henry George and that he refused
absolutely to say one wcrd in favor of the
Tanmany ticket. When George entered
the race disturbing rumors about Bryan's
attitude reached Tammany leaders, and
then they went to work to use all the in
fiuence they could control TO keep t, g
Boy Orator from coming out openly for
the only candidate running on the Chi
cago platform.
Yesterday letter from ex.Gov. Will
liam ]. Stone, OF Missouri, was received
Mt Tammany Hall which threw the cam
paign managers into an excited state.
Mr.. Stone wrote that Bryan had refused
to say word in support of the Tam
many ticket.
The Georgeites last night decided to
form a national party. To-day the exec,,-
tive committee wrote and sent an official
letter to William j. Bryan, telling him
what is to be done and asking him to de.
clare what attitude he will assume TO-
ward the movement.

New Orleans. Oct. G.-Twenty-three
new cases and five deaths from yellow
fever were reported here this afternoon.
The system Of the board of health in
eetting reports does not always insure
promptness, as deaths sometimes occur
which are not reported for hours after
war;. The increase tf new cases is at
triouted TO the fact that the physicians
are promptly reporting every suspicious
case as yellow fey err. 1t is fair to assume
that ~ per cent. of The cases reported are
not genuine yellow fever. At the same
time it is possible that this 10 per cent is
more than made up ny cases not reported

Richmond, Va, Oct. 26.-Gen. Eitz
Lee has gone to Lexington to superin
teno the removal of the furniture frcm
his formerlresidence at that place to the
house he has leased in Richmond. It. is
not positively known, but it is believed
that Lee intends to take up his residence
here: The fact that he is giving up his
residence in Lexington and removing his
furniture here looks as if there might he
some truth in the rumur that ne ia To
become citizen of this city. From no
litical standpoint this would be wise
thing for him to do. Having decided to
run for the Senate he would be uncom-
tortably close to Daniel while residing in
Lexington AS n resident OF Richmond
he would be considered as residing in the
eastern part of the State, while Daniel is
from the western portion of Virginia.
All that the Lee family have authorized
to he stated is that they will stay here
this winter. 1t is more than likely, how
ever, that after Lee retires from the office
he now fills he will return here and
make this city his home.
According to very reliable repo,ts re.
ceived here the Hon. James A. Frazier
Populist, is likely to be elected to the
house OF delegates from Rockbridge. He
liz makinga red hot canvass and will
probably pull through. 1t is generally
conceded that the Hon j. S. Craig, Dem
ocrat, will be re-e' ected. Mr.. Frazier was
an interesting figure in the house at the
session of 1SSl-'S2, when the Hon. John
Is. Lady was mis- colleague from Rock.
bridge Mr. Frazier was the leader of
the Readjusters on the floor of the house.
while Mr.. Lady was speaker Though he
VIII belong to the minority this time. if
elected, he IS sure to make things lively.
The house contest over in the Chester
held district is one of the most interest
ing in'Vfreinia. Each county has been
thoroughly canvassed. There is no doubt
OF the election of Harry B. Owens, OF the
Democratic nominees, but the Democrats
fear MIR. j. Haskins Hobson will defeat
Mr. Wood. Mr.. Ovens running mate.
The Democrats are exceedingly anxious
to beat Mr.. Hobson, who is the State
chairman of the Popnlist party, and has
the endorsement of the Republicans in
this contest. Should he and James A.
Frazier come to the house they would
make very lively opposition even If
their number should be small
The Hon. John f. Ryan, in a private
letter to friend here, says he has re-
ceived promises from enough of the Dem
ocratic candidates for the house to give
him the nomination for the speakership

elected speaker and will receive the votes
