board of health met Wednesday night
DIR. Olliphant had no additional cases
to report to that body as having oc-
CURED in New Orleans, and was able to
say that the local situation had vastly
improved, and that there were no pres
ent prospects of evil results following
the death of the Gelpi child. A thorough
canvass at Ocean Springs completed
Wednesday shows there have been
748 cases of the prevailing fever since
July s. There are now 81 still sick.
The total deaths have been nine. and in
severalinstances physicians certificates
show the fever was complicated with
other diseases. There are believed to
have been only two deaths due to yell
lowjack. At the suggestion of DR.. Cant
every house where there had been sick
ness or there is now is being fumigated.
DR.. Grant says whether the prevailing
disease is yellow fever or low malaria
it is certainly contagious. Quarantine
is being very strictly maintained.

Fast Trains Collide Near EmpOrfa,
Kan.-Bryan Aids the Injured.
Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. "a special
to the Times from Emporia, Kan, says:
One of the worst wrecks in the history
Of the Santa Fe railroad occurred three
miles east of here at about 1880 o'clock
Wednesday night. Twelve or Is per-
sonswere killed and as many more were
badly hurt. The fast mail train going
east and the Mexico and California ex-
press west bound collided head on. The
Mexico and California express was
pulled by two locomotives, and when
mail, the boilers of all three engines
exploded and tore a hole in the ground
so deep that the smoking cars of the
west-bound train went in on top of the
three engines and two mail cars and
balanced there, without turning over.
The passengers in the smoking car es-
capped through the windows. The front
end OF this car was enveloped in vol
ume of sitting smoke and steam, belch-
ing up from the wreck below, and the
rear door was jammed tight in the
wreck of the car behind. The wreck
caught fire from the engines. In climb
ing out of the smoking car several men
fell through the riffs into the wreck
below and it is impossible to tell wheth-
er they escaped or were burned to
death. Eight bodies have been taken
from the wreck.
The west-bound train carried seven
or eight coaches, and it's passengers
included many excursionists who had
been to hear Hon. w. J. Bryan speak at
the county fair at Burlington. Mr..
Bryan himself was on the train, but
was riding in the rear Pullman some
400 feet from the cars which were
wrecked. Mr.. Bryan helped to carry
out the dead and wounded and gave
the greatest attention to their needs.

have appellate Jurisdiction Of all the APP
peals from the county and corporation
