handsome young woman claiming to be the
wife Of c. NJ. Guys, alias J. G. Norris, the
young piano agent who is now under ar
rest at Scottsburg, awaiting trial on var
ious charges. was in the city to-day on the
way to Scottsburg to assist him in finan-
cial way during the trial She is member
of a prominent Louisville family and was
very anxious to avoid publicity, as she said
home should he find out where she was.
Norris was representing Kimball & Co, of
Louisville piano men, at the time he was
arrested charged with crookedness. Soon
after being arrested he made his escape by
pretending to become very sick, getting the
officer to run for doctor. The obliging of

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept M.-The United
States coast-defense vessel Monterey ar
rived here this morning and is now anchored
in the stream off Folsom street While the
naval authorities decline to either deny or
confirm a report that she went ashore at
Point Arena yesterday, they state that she
anchored off the point in order to avoid the
danger of proceeding in an unusually heavy
fog. They admit that she might have
touched bottom, but say they know nothing
of the matter, and if she is damaged at
all the extent of her injuries cannot be as
certained until she gets up to Mare island.
1t is thought that part of her machinery
broke down and that she drifted with the
tide and struck on the rocks. In three-quar-
tiers of an hour the necessary repairs TO
work the machinery were completed and the
steamer backed off with some difficulty from
her perilOuS position.

rocks at a point half way between the sum-

will probably be frozen in six weeks Ten

any more cases as suspicious. He would
wait until the symptoms became unmstak-
able.
DR.. T. o. Summers, representing the Ten
neSsee Board of Health, has spent two DAYS
here. He made two trips to the persons sick
with the fever, and his opinion is that there
IS an exceedingly mild type OF yellow fever
here, all the characteristics being present
but In exceedingly mild form, so mild in
deed that If there had not been the Sus-
picion raised by the outbreak at Ocean
Springs the symptoms would probably have
passed unnoticed. He is loud in his praise
of the way the board has fought the dis
