preciated prices, and, as a consequence,
hundreds of bushels will rot on the
vines, as the hot weather has ripened
them very fast.

struck the lead industry, and the mar

Estimates of the wheat crop of Union

bushels to 1000, 900. While the latter
figure is considered rather high, yet
better crops of this year, as compared
with others, are taken into cnsidera-
tion, it is not improbable that the out
put will reach that amount.

The eggs are dipped in preparation to

The Town ouarantined.

Mississippi and Louisiana boards of
health have been at Ocean Springs since
yesterday. An examination of the pre-
vailing disease was made a week ago.
There have been several hundred cases,
but few deaths, and board of experts
declared the disease to be Dengue fever.
Since then, mortalities became more
frequent, and the symptoms became
more like yellow fever and the alarm
became so great that the health authors
ties again gathered. This time they
were accompanied by Professor A. L.
Metz, chemist of the Louisiana board,
who analyzed the virus in several cases.
The verdict tonight was yellow fever,
and various points On both sides of the
town are rapidly declaring quarantine.

Ocean Springs, Miss, Sept. This

to whether or not yellow fever exists
here, and the question has not been de-
termined. The members of the Louis

hard at work all day long, working in
conjunction with the representatives of
the Alabama and the Mississippi organ.
izations, in determined effort to settle
the vexed question as to the identity of
the pernicious fever. Their inyestiga-
tions were extensive. Professor Metz
appears of the opinion that the prevail
ing complaint is due in a measure to
the pollution of the water in the bay
fronting the town. It is feared that
the oysters absorb poisonous germs and
communicate them to the consumers.

last Saturday or Sunday that there
was yellow fever at Raceland, by
Monday morning it had gathered suf-

DR. Stark took the matter in hand
and wrote to DR.. Ago, the coroner,
and after consultation with Sheriff

NJ. Walsh should visit Raceland, to
confer with DR.. Ago and do some
investigation on his own account.

all, reported that same evening that

Thus has another yellow fever lie

Voters should bear in mind that to
vote at the coming January election

must register anew under the law
of 1896. All prior registration will
be of no avail, and only such as are
registered under the provisions of
that law will be allowed to partici-
pate in that election.
They should avail themselves Of
the opportunity to register that they
may be in a position to exercise their
right of suffrage.

The object of 1! e melting was To de-
wise some uniform system OF quaran-
tine in the four parishes, and 10 agree
from what parishes health certificates
would be recognized, and To iiscnss
the advisability Of disseminating the
system Of charging residents Of the
four parishes for health certificates.
These were the objects of the meeting
as understood them, and when the
question of admitting skilled labor, OF
anyone who had been detained in the

jected, stating | did not know how

Ibereupon Mr.. Bentley proceeded
to enliglten me and others, assuring
us that conducted as it was, there was
not a particle of danger of infection.
That there were twelve camps num-
be:ed from ten to twelve !; hat per-
sons coming in were first placed in
camp No /. and on the following day
they were moved up to camp No. 2 to
give place To these who entered the
camp on that day, and so Oh until
they had gone through the twelve
camps, when they were discharged
and given certificates.
Mr.. Bentley assured the conference
that all persons detained ip the va
rions camps and who had entered on
different days We're not allowed to as
sociate or communicate with each
other for the twelve days they were
detained. | then said, that il the

That the camp IN question vas not

ment. The camp was established
only after receiving positl.. ;issnran-
ces from the health a~nthotitie Of these
paiish-s that the laboreis detained
there would be- accepted ; hence the
reported action Of these authorities is
4 breach of faith which nothing can
excuse. Fear Of possible consagion
cannot possibly Justify so fragrant n
disregard for pledges and promises !;
hence the Picas u is disposed to be-
lieve that there must be some misun-
de%rstanding san,emheIe.'
We do not intend to speak for the
parishes of Ascension, Assumption
aud T%errehonne, but We do say that
so far as the Parish of LafourcIie is
concerned, the Picaynne il mistaken
when it includes the health officers
Of that parisi, in tile assertion that
1.-The Camp was established after re-
ceivlng positive assurances from the
health officers of these parishes that
the laborers detained there would be
accepted" We have 30 doubt tile
P%lcayune bases this assertion on in
formation received, but it has been
misinformed in that respect. if We are
correctly advised, as we believe we
are.
The health authorities Of Lafourche
never took any oifcial action on the
question of admitting inmates from the
detention camp prior to the confer
ence held here on October 18th, and
at that time the camp was already i'll
operation.
1t could not be said, therefore, that
the camp vas established after posi-
tive ass urances given by the Board of
Health Of this parish.
Whatever assurances any individual
member of the board may have given
in the premises, if any we're SO given,
cannot be classed as assurances given
by the health authorities Of this par
lsh.
As to the action of the health au-
thorities i'll withdrawing its assent to
the resolutions adopted by the con-
ference and refusing to admit inmates
from the camp, that il a matter which
needs no defense the health author
tiles acted within their jurisdiction
and according to their sound discre-
ton /; they notified the other parishes
to the conference Of it's withdrawal,
and in this observed the proprietles,
and they w apologies to no one
least OF all to the parties in charge of
the detention camp.
