Ocean Springs, Miss, Oct. 16.-It
p
looks very much as though it would
only be a short time till Camp Fon-
tainbleau would be thing of the past.
Nearly every day sees some part of
the place torn down and sent to Louis
lana, and the working force is gradu-
ally being sent there also.
The last to go was Fumigator Good
man, who left yesterday. There are
at present about 200 people there. The
camp was originally built to accom-
modate from 1000 to 1900 people, but
six hundred is the most they have had
at one time. Everything here is as
quiet as can be. 1t is nearly three
weeks now since we have had a case
OF fever and The psople have about
made up their minds that we had all
we are going to have.

FIRING Desperate Measures to Dust
A Postmaster.
His BOndSman'S Property is Being
Destroyed By IncendiarieS and
He May Lose His Office.
Special Writ to Sunday Light.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 1.-THE would-be
assassins of the negro postmaster at
Hogansville, /. H. Loftin, have taken
another method of freezing him out.
On his accession to office, he was COM
PEELED to execute a bond for $4,000
and secured as his heaviest bondsman,
William Hatton, the wealthiest ne
gro in the county. A few days ago
Hatton's immense gin was totally de-
stroyed by fire and although Loftin
has not directly admitted it, it is
known that he connects the men who
attempted his death with those who
set the torch to Hatton's property.
Hatton is nearly crazy from fright
and there is every probability that he
will resign from his friends bond and
| as Loftin cannot secure another
bondsman with ease 1t is believed thai
he will be compelled to give up his Of
flee.
District Attorney Angler and Postal
Inspector Rossen, who have been at
work on the assassination feature, are,
it is believed, now engaged in tracing
the incendiaries with a view to pros
ecuting them to the full extent of the
law, that Loftin may enjoy the bene-
fit of his office without such menaces
as these. The negroes of that vicini-
| ty are thoroughly aroused and If a
repetition of the offense ocurs soon
there trouble Is feared.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE civil SER
vice commission filed today with the
attorney general statement of the
views of the commission on an i'm
portant question raised by the action
of Brady, collector of internal revenue
at Richmond, in the turning out of the
deputies collector employed under his
predecessor.
He claimed that their terms of SER
vice expired when the collector under
whom they We're employed went out of
office. OF course such a principle, If
maintained, would virtually abolish
the civil service.
The commission hold that the depu-
ties collector are employees of the gov
eminent and not of the collector.
They can be dismissed only by the
government and are in the classified
service.
Under the old law collectors collect
ed revenues on the farming out sys-
tenn and employed their assistants, but
that law has been repealed. Collect
ors may designate deputies for ap-
pointment by the department, but
when approved they become employ
es of the United States, and subject to
removal only by the head of the de-
partment, as in the case of other en-
ployes.
1t is the view of the commission that
to make tenure of office dependent on
the will of the collector would be to
defeat the object of the civil service
law.

AT LAKE CHARLES.
By special wire to Sunday Light.

By special wire to Sunday Light.
Lake Charles, La, Oct. 16.-A local
newspaper of this city has for several
days been publishing attacks upon the
police jury Of Calcaseau parish for ex-
travagant expenditures in maintaining
guarantees. According to state
ments of bills approved by the police
jury the quarantine has thus far cost
Calcaseau parish over $500, $1,000 of
this amountwent to members of the po-
lice jury in payment for services as
members of the board of health, and
special quarantine officers and for ex-
ira work, the character of which is
not defined.
This evening the local paper referred
to publishes the state law relative to
parish boards of health and declares
that according to that law the Calca-
seau board is Illegally constituted and
acting without authority. The point
made is that the law requires reg
istered physician to be a member and
the executive officer of the board.
Since the resignation of DR.. Mcmahon,
no such officer has been elected, and the
president of the police jury has assum-
ed the duties of chairman of the board
of health. The feeling in this way,
engendered by alleged extravaganza of
the board, will probably lead to legal
proceedings against them.

cases to date 152; deaths 81; recoveries
SO; remaining under treatment, SO.
One of the most difficult problems
here is how to relieve the negroes,
without waste of money of the chari-
table. The negro clergy are on the in
vestigating committee, and although
great care is used, the acquisitions
threaten to exhaust the funds of the
citizens relief committee. Today the
last named committee resolved to lin
1t the expenditures for the relief of
the colored to $50 a day. All efforts to
get the negroes to work seem to have
failed. No applications are received
from them to be sent to the railroad
contractor at Dog river, where 81 a day
is offered, and to the proposition of the
relief committee that all able-bodied
men seeking relief will be given work
on the Virginia street drain, the re-
sponses were but two. Here, as else
where, it is shown that so long as there
is distribution of food the negro men
will not do any work. To cut off the
food supply of these will not be eff
fective unless deserving families are
cut also, for they manage to get part
Of the supplies by quartering on the
families. With many there is no
sense of obligation to do anything to
support their families, The obliga.
tions seem to be the other way.

New Orleans, Oct. 16.-Railroad peo-
pie are discussing the future of the
Sunset limited. The Southern Pacific
people have decided to run the train
from Chicago to San Francisco via
the Chicago and Alton road, to St.
Louis, from thence over the st. Louis
and Iron Mountain to Texarkana and
from thence to their own rails at Ell
Paso, over the Texas and Pacific. The
first train will leave Chicago about the
9Th of this month, or possibly later.
The Southern Pacific road has been
compelled to turn this famous train,
a service which has done much for
New Orleans, away from the city, be-
cause of the fever fright. They hope,
however, to be able to resume the
schedule out of New Orleans, by the
LIST of December. At least it is not the
intention of the company to make the
Chicago route a permanent one.
Railroad people, in their discussion,
of the Sunsets Limited future, deplOre
the fact that it has been forced away
from New Orleans. This train, the en-
terprise of General Passenger Agent
Morse, has proven one of the greatest
advertisements New orleans has ever
had in the east. Had not the fever
fright interfered the railroad people
say the famous train would this year
have brought thousands of people to
New Orleans, who have never been
here before, people who would have
come here and put up at the hotels of
the city for the winter.

This theatre was built over twenty

best Cincinnati could boast of in the
old days. 1t was situated on Seventh
street, and was thought to be built
very thoroughly and lasting. The

New Orleans, La, Oct. 16.-Last
hight word reached Gretna, that the
residents of Barateria are maintaining
system of quarantine in conformity
with police jury regulations, and on
Thursday, the 9TH inst, Boutte had
made a boast that guards could not
prevent him from going and coming as
he pleased. He crossed the 'trocha,"
as it were and was subsequently ar
rested; not until he made desperate re-
sistance, however. He was taken to
Jail late in the evening and locked up
il small wooden structure, and that
is the last heard of him. When the
constable went to the Jail the next
morning for the purpose of bringing
him before Judge Fecende, for arraign-
ment, the door of the cell was broken
down and the cell was empty. Search
was made by several of the officers of
the place, but no evidence OF his Wnere-
abouts could be ascertained, and this
led the authorities to believe that the
negro was taken from his cell at very
late hour at night, by crowd of as
sassins who cruelty murdered the I'M
fortunate fellow.
Boute was quite young man and
was a leader among his race. On
numerous occasions he expounded the
bible to his class and often boosted of
his political influence. To some of the
white people living on the bayou he
seemed an obnoxious character, and
it is for this reason solely, it is thought
that his life paid the penalty of preju-
dice. The authorities of Gretna have
been notified of the occurrence and it
is expected a thorough investigation
Of the crime will be made.

At the session of the County Com
missioners' court yesterday the prin-
cipal question under discussion was the
quarantine matter. DR.. Berrey, coun-
tv health officer, had informed the
court that Bexar county had raised
quarantine on freight against Houston
and Galveston, and read the telegram
from DR.. Swearingen advising MIN
that it would not be safe to raise
quarantine on passenger trains from
these points, ..
The court has authorized DR.. Berrey
to telegraph to the health officers OF
Galveston and Houston and inquire il
there are any yellow fever cases in
those cities, and that if the answers
received are in the negative to declare
quarantine against those places off at
once.
DR.. Berrey accordingly sent the fol-
lowing message to Galveston and
Houston:
us there a single case Of yellow fever
in your city? Answer, officially, yes
or no."
In the afternoon about 4:S0 O'Clock
DR.. Berrey received the following re-
plies:
From Galveston-"Board of Health
has passed resolutions, declaring unan-
imously that there is no yellow fever
here. Perfectly safe to raise auaran-
tine. w. C. Fisher, Health officer"
From Houston-"No yellow fever
here. d. F. Stuart, President Board
of Health"
Immediately upon receipt of this in
formation Bexar county's quarantine
against Houston and Galveston, on
both freight and passenger trains was
officially declared off, and DR.. Berrey
at once notified all the local railroads
running trains between these points.
