YELLOW FEVER NEWS.
Two Deaths I'm New Orleans and
Three SuspiciOus Gases.


NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22, 1S97.-There
were, as usual, no early morning reports
today of new cases of yellow fever in
New Orleans. Three cases, however, are
under close investigation and one OF
these is Mrs A. I. Wimberly, wife of the
member of the Republican National Com
mittee, Captain Wimberly, who has been
wired of his wife's Illness. Among the
cases reported yesterday were Judge
Lea, one Of the Secretaries of the Cotton
Exchange and R. F. Reynolds, freight
agent of the Mississippi Valley r. R. Two
more cases of fever, Rubinstein ON Poy-
dras street. and the second Gelpi boy,
have been discharged. Forty others are
steadily improving and are considered out
of danger. Three are dangerously i'll.
The camp of detention was opened this
morning at Oakland Park and a large
number of italian men, women and chill
dren will be removed thither and given
accommodation until the fever is stamped
out. The camp has been rapidly gotten
in shape and the refugees will find COM
Portable quarters assigned to them The
spell of cool weather continues and the
mildness of the twenty-seven cases in
the past two days is especially pro-
nounced.
Chief O'Connor has placed another en-
gine at the disposal of a special volunteer
force and the down town streets, alleys
and back yards are being thoroughly
scrubbed Mayor Flower convened a
meeting of the Finance Committee this
morning and the committee will seek to
make arrangements to advance part or
all of the $4,000 which the Board OF
Health has requested to enable it to pay
the large force of sanitary and other help
that is required in handling the situation
here. There does not seem to be at pre-
sent much hope that Governor Foster will
advance any money, because he has no
legal right to do so. He would have to
violate the written law in giving the board
additional money at this time.
DR.. Lowell, son of Colonel Starr Lowell,
of Mississippi, who has been i'll for more
than a week, died at $50 A. M. He con-
tracted the disease while attending fever
patients.
A second death also occurred, making
eight in all. 1t was Miss Elizabeth
Nussbaum, aged II years, of No. 1900
Calves street.

Stark'S "TroubleS" In
wolves His Business
Associates.
Several Others Implicated.


The TROUBLES" OF Herman Stark still
furnish material for the newspaper re
porter to write about. The latest turn
in his affairs is th-t the sheriff got news
OF the fact that Morris Goldman, who
has been implicated in the secreting oil
Stark's goods about the county. had
sold a quantity OF goods TO Ike Oshin-
sky, OF Hancock. On looking upthe mat
ter Sheriff Lean found that Goldman
held bill OF sale OF the goods from
Stark and that young Oshinsky also had
a bill OF sale from Goldman showing be
had paid money down on the transac-
ton, buy ing the goods at a ridiculously
low figure. The sheriff, who had got
ten wind that the goods referred TO were
on the premises OF Jabob Oshinsky, Ike's
father, he proceeded to his residence in
Hancock and took the goods and stored
them with the other goods in kauth's
building. When the sheriff called on
Oshinsky there were fully forty OF his
Jewish friends on the premises and from
the noise made were evidently holding an
Indignation meeting, regarding the man.
ner Stark's planted treasure were being
handled about. After Goldman had sold
the goods in his possession and asStark's
friends thought he was liable to ssy too
much about Stark's affairs they got him
to leave the country. He eventually took
Wednesdays train going south and got
off the train at Iron Mountain, where he
ran up against Deputy Sheriff MacNam-
ara, who happene TO b. there looking for

ing Goldman, and yesterday morning
Assignee James Tamblyn had papers
drawn up for the arrest OF Goldman on
the charge of selling stolen goods and
Goldma, will probably be brought home
today.
What turn affairs will take next is
hard to imagine. 1t is thought that
after Goldman has spent some time IN
the sweatbox at Houghton, he will cell
all he knows of the affair and that
large amount of goods will yet be
forthcoming. Messrs. l.. H. Richardson
and George Emery we're busy appraising
the goods seized by the sheriff at Oshin-
sky's house.

The fire at the coal sheds at Dollar Bay
still continues and 1t ia hard to say what
extent OF damage has been done. At the
time the fire started there were 36,OoO
tons of coal in the shed. A gang oil
eighty men are at work removing the
coal in cars, and three locomotives are
kept busy night and day hauling it TO
the mills and mine. 1t is estimated that
the coal lie being removed at the rate OF
about 1000 tons day. At that rate it
will take at least another week, working
night and day, TO complete the work OF
removing sufficient coal to extinguish the
Dire. Just what the amount OF loss to
company will be it is hard TO conjecture,
but it will amount to no small SUN.

from the mine to the docks at Hancock
where it will be loaded onto scows and

Brooks came into the room with glow
Of exultation on his face. He was trun-
ding his bicycle.

fastest wheel ever rode. I went out for
spin this morning, and I give you my
word 1 travelled 10 miles an hour right
along just as easily as l ever rode at half
that speed on any other machine. It's a
wonder!"
"Humph!" calculated Rivers. "How
long were you out?"
"Three hours.
"And you went 40 miles i'm that timc"

"On race track"
"No. On ordinary roads Half the
time, moreover, was pulling against a
strong wind"
"And you mean to tell me seriously,
Brooks, that you rode that machine As
miles in three hours on common roads?"
"That's what do mean, and I'll thank
you not to dispute it. When started out,
it was exactly o'clock and the cyclome-
ter stood ut 1877 miles When / got back,
it was Just ii and the cyclometer indicat-
ed 242 miles to hair. That cyclometer
is perfectly accurate. Look at it yourself,
Rivers. You know the make. I've tested
1t between township lines"
Rivers stopped down and inspected it,
Brooks, he said, II don't want to ex.
pose you before anybody, but when you
make the preposterous claim that
"I'm talking i'm dead earnest. I'll mako
oath to every word have said"
Don't do it, Brooks. Don { do it. Take
look at that cyclometer yourself"
"Tm looking at it. It's all right. 1t
stands now at 243 miles. I've ridden o
"But how about that other knocker?"
"What?'
"That other knocker You've got two
Of them on opposite spokes. Every time
the wheel makes q revolution 1t hits the
star wheel twice. and at the end OF your
run the cyclometer indicates just twice the
distance you have travelled Your record
for the three hours, Brooks, is exactly 22X
miles. and l respectfully submit that it
isn't anything to boast off,
With something like a groan Brooks
sprang to the side of the machine and made
q personal inspection. It was even So
There were two knockers"
"Rivers, he shouted pale with wrath,
you did that You sneaked that other
one on there yourself. III be even with
you II it takes me the rest of my lifetime. I"
Without another word he grabbed his
