Federal Judge jackson Makes In
iuuctiou PerpctunI.

Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. 81. The
feature of interest in the opening ses-
sion of the September term of the
United States court for the district of
West Virginia was the application of
ex-Gov. A. b. Fleming, of Fairmont,
to make the injunction against Eugene
V. Debs and others perpetual. The
governor was acting for his client, the
Monongah Coal company, and as there
was no appearance for any of the de-
PENDANTS, the injunction was made per-
petual. In the course of his remarks
in making this decision, Judge Jackson
said that if like case were presented
to him now no would make the same
kind of order he had made at Parkers-
burg, where the temporary injunction
was issued recently. Continuing he
said:
There have been some public structures
that / know are due TO the fact that the
order made in these cases was not under
stood This decision is founded on good
law, good morals and justice Nearly 200
years ago courts of equity in England is-
sued restraining orders to protect the Cit
izen in his right Of property. There Is no
reason why the rights of property owners
should not be protected by the courts
These owners invested large sums of money
in their plants at Monongah, and the bin
for Injunction alleged the defendants were
about to do things that would lessen the
value of the property and possibly de-
stroy IL. The law is that where an INJURY
is threatened to which the law AFFORDS no
adequate remedy, then the court OF equity
terfere TO prevent the injury, and TINS
is such a case. The injunction abridged
no rights of the miners, did not interfere
with the rights of free speech and was
carefully prepared and well-considered or
der. | instructed my officers in taking that
Injunction to serve 1t, to stand behind II
like the soldiers behind the fortress, but
to keep within the lines of the injunction
and not to extend or step beyond II, ana 90
nothing excepting exactly that which was
required. This order was not an innoVa-
ton. 1t is an application of what con-
slider good law, and was done in proper
case to protect property OF the plaintiHs,
which the court conceives to be its duty
lust as Il would protect the rights OF the
defendants in the proper exercise OF an
their privileges under the constitution.

THE FEVER SITUATION.
Plague Grows In Fury-Mnny Ncw
Case. In New Orleans.

New Orleans, Sept. 30. - The condi-
ton relative to the yellow fever scare
throughout the south is gradually be-
coming more complicated, chiefly ow-
ing 10 the fact that there had been no
fatalities save the one which marked
the introduction of the fever two
weeks ago. Since then, however, there
occurred a death Friday, two Saturday
and one Sunday-fiye in all--with the
total number of 40 actual cases up to
six p. m. Sunday. All over the city the
" york of cleaning and disinfecting is
going on. Meetings are being held daily
by all classes of the population and
the business men are putting in the
time collectively and individually push
ing this branch of the fight against
the fever Hundreds of barrels of lime
are being used in the drains and gut
tiers and each infected locality is being
fumigated and sanitated thoroughly
under the organized direction of the
board of health.
The board has a report from Biloxi,
showing 36 cases to date, besides six
suspects and % cases of yellow fever
now on hand. No deaths reported.
Vicksburg is thoroughly guarded and
entirely healthy. 1t is estimated that
perhaps ten per cent. of the popula-
ton has left town.
New Orleans, Sept. 21.-The largest
number of cases reported on any day

/ ance in New Orleans two weeks ago was
recorded on the books of the board of

although at that hour not a single case

The most sensational incident of the
\ day was the announcement from DR..
/ Joseph Holt, expressed to the board of
/ health, that he had discovered nine
/ cases among his practice, the first of
\ which had come under his observation
