Politicians Arrested for Trying to Defame
Wanamaker.
Easton, Pa, Septem Der 11.-Gen. Frank
Reeder, late Secretary of the Common
wealth, was forced by Gov. Hastings to
resign this week, and Hon. Webster G.
Weiss, Republican member of the legisla-
ture from this county, were arrested in
the formers office in this city late today
on very serious charges preferred by the
adherents of John Wanamaker. Morris
G.. Luckenbach, prominent and wealthy
citizen of Bethlehem, is accused with
Reeder and Weiss. The warrants were
served on Reeder and Weiss by county
constable and were sworn out by JUS
tice Koch of Pen Argyll on the oath of
Chas. Colvert, whose identity is now
known to Reeder and his friend. There
are three informations. The first de-
clares that Reeder, Weiss and Luckenbac Oh
conspired together to defame the good
name of John Wanamaker by having him
offer br ibe to Weiss to secure Weiss's
vote in the legislature for Wanamaker
for United States senator. The second
information says that these three con-
spired together to offer the alleged bride
to Weiss. The third statement is that
they conspired with Detective billiard.
who offered the bride to Weiss Reeder
and Weiss waived hearing and gave
$1,000 bail each for their appearance at

GUN SQUADS.
Gnard Towns Threatened by Yellow lack

New Orleans, La, September Ii The
principal item of interest here this NOM.
ing is the fact that towns on every t,.urlr
line running into New Orleans have de-
clared quarantine against Louisiana
Burgs in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas
and Alabama have declared that no peo-
pie shall get off trains at their stations
who come from this city. Some of the
cities have adopted the most extreme
measures and have surrounded them
selves with shot gun squads. Most of the
towns that have declared strict quarantine
are suffering as much or great deal
more than New Orleans itself, for thew
are deprived of their newspapers, are un-
able to replenish needed supplies and are
being put to great inconvenience.
Reports received at the board of health
since last night indicate a steady i'm
provement in the 10 cases on st. Claude
street. Many people who had contem-
plated sending their families north yester-
day have changed their minds.
A despatch from Biloxi SAYS two
new cases have developed. There have
been no deaths. All patients are doing
we'll. DR.. Haraldsen is in receipt of a
despatch from DIR. Fella of Pascagoula.
saying q case of yellow fever has DEVELOPED
in that town. The doctor REQUESTS
quarantine supplies. A meeting. of the
mayor and aldermen Of Biloxi has been
called for the purpose of assisting DR..
Haraldsen of tho state board, in taking
charge of the city. Six new cases are re.
ported at Ocean Springs, but no deaths.
The city today decided to appropriate
$40, 900 for the cleaning and finishing of
the streets and cutters.

The Railroad b uilders Are at Work in the
Gold Region.

Gold Region.
Seattle, Wash, September 1.-THE
steamer City of Topeka arrived from
Alaska at O'Clock this morning with
the following letter to the Associated
Press:
Juneau, Alaska, September 6.-Among
the recent arrivals at this port are the
steamers Rosalie, Mayfower, Detroit.
Willamette and Topeka and the falling
off in the volume of travel is very notice
able. The majority of newcomers will
remain at Juneau until spring. An effort
will be made next year to turn the tide of
travel by way of Sitka, going from there
to Yakoutal, and Disenchantment bay
and up the White river, the distance be-
ing only about 1865 miles from Sitka to
Dawson as against 700 miles from Juneau
over the present trail. The building of
railroad from Juneau to Lake Testin is
now assured. Thorough examination by
the interested parties has decided them to
commence work at the earliest possible
moment next year. No doubt this will be
quickly followed by others, two prospec-
tive roads in particular having the same
terminus as the Juneau road In going
into the Yukon country the White Horse
rapids and many other dangerous places
will be avoided. AS there will be suita-
BILE boats plying on Lake Testin and the
Hootalinqua river, the trip will be one of
pleasure rather than otherwise.
Rapid progress is being made on the
cable tramway now constructing at Chill
koot pass, and when finished everything
can go over more cheaply and quickly
than heretofore. Every one is now map
ping out arrangements for winter quarters
as it will soon be out of the question TO
enter the Klondike before February or
March.
