Wednesdays Fever Record.

Twenty-Five new cases and four
deaths were recorded Wednesday in
New Orleans. Edwards reported twen-
ty.four and no deaths; Mobile four
and no deaths; Biloxi fifteen new cases
but no fatalities.
From this report Wednesday in New
Orleans was record breaker in the
number of new cases reported, while
the deaths equaled in number those Of
any day since the fever was first dis
covered in the city.
There are various reasons given for
the spread Of the disease, but the
principal ones are two, that the
weather turned warm again, and ow-
ing to the much wider field TO cover,
the board of health had some difficulty
in getting every house as closely
guarded as was possible when the
cases were few in number and the
trained officials of the board were sta
toned about the quarantined houses.
The fact that the death rate has been
small and that the chances of an cpl
demic have been constantly growing
less, have made the general public
somewhat careless and there has been
increasing friction between the quar-.
antined people and the authorities.
Imprisoned inmates of houses have
been going over back fences and
snesking out Of side doors in order
not to be confined, and the result has
been that more germs have been scat.
tered and rapidly developed in these
warm days.

WESLEYAN METHODS.
Mr.. F. H. Valleys Call Results
in the Establishment Of a
Permanent Society--A
Return to Primitive
Methods.

The First Wesleyan Church of Jersey
City has been organized.
In response to a call issued by Mr.. Il.
H. Valley, a small body of believers in
the denomination which claims to repre-
sent primitive Methodism, met at No. 1So
Webster avenue last night, and organised
the first wesleyan Methodist Society or
Jersey City-it is also the only one OF
that denomination in this vicinity, the
nearest being located at Peekskill, N. I.
The organization meeting was preceded
by ain old fashioned Methodist class meet
ing. over which the Rev. e. Hilton Post,
a clergyman Of thai denomination, who
has recently come to this city, presided.
He will have charge of the flock until the
next meeting Of the New York conference
when the congregation will have the
privilege of calling him or else
they desire to administer to their spiritual
wants.
At the conclusion of the class meeting
the clergyman, who is a young but Wen
informed man, delivered an interesting
address, in which he explained the sys-
tenn of church government of the Yves
leyans. HI spoke of it's republican sim
plicity in allowing the people to call
their pastors, and compared this system
wit hthat of the Methodist Episcopalians
Who nave practically no voice in the Sc
lection. He announces himself as OPP
posed to PROSECUTING, and said that dur
ing his ministry he had never tried to
persuade a person to join the church.
All the conclusion of the meeting he
formally recognized, as he explained ne
had the right to do, the new society, but
did not read the church discipline to
which the members must subscribe before
Joining. This, he announced. would be
ready at the next meeting which will be
held at the same place on Tuesday, All
gust 81, at which time the officers of the
church-two stewards and one or more
class le~aders-will be elected, and the
right hand of fellowship extended to the
members, who will take the church VOW.
When the organization is thus COM
pleted, the officiating clergyman an
nounced, the church society would engage
a hail and open its work with special re-
vival services.
The denomination of Wesleyan Metho-
dists numbers about %, 600 souls, located
principally in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio,
Michigan and western and northeastern
New York. Although claiming kinship to
a similar denomination in Great Britain,
who's name they pear and whose doc
trines they claim are identical with those
of the American brand, they acknowledge
that they dfssented from the Methodist
E~piscopaiians in this country in the year
1S42. They claim that his dissension was
caused by the question Of slavery. which
the M. Els were prohibited from preaching
about.
AT that time, the writer's informant
says, about $4,000 members of the M. E.
left their church. but about 80, 900 returned
after the question nae been settled by
the victory of the North in the Civil War.
The new church, which starts with four
teen members, will join the New York
Conference.

boarders. Thomas Grace lives on the

very friendly until recently. What the
cause of the falling out was is known
only to themselves, but the quarrel has
furnished the neighborhood with gossip
ever since 1t occurred. Grace, it is
alleged, made some Serious reflections of
Mrs. Galvin's character.
The remarks that We're beng made by
Grace reached the ears of the Galvins and
naturally they were indignant. Galvin's
first impulse was to go out with a gun
or a club and hunt for Grace, but after
consulting with his wife he thought bet
ter of it. Grace has some property and
to recover financial repairs for the
damage lone to Mrs. Galyln's character,
would be much preferable to doing bodily
injury and being tried for 1t afterward.
Calvin therefore consulted Lawyer Alex

humble apology to Mrs. Calvin. He
declares that he never entertained any
thing but the highest regard for Mrs. Gal

been drunk. The Galvins, however, DO
not propose to let him off with an

BONES AMONG THE CARGO.
CHASTITY Discovery Made by Wreck
ers OF ,ha MASSACHUSETTS Coast.

The news reached Philadelphia yester-
day of a gruesome discovery made off
Nansett. Mass, by the wreckers engaged
in saving the cargo of cast iron pipe
from the schooner Ami E. Rudolph, OF
this city, which WIS sunk off that point
NAV 8, in collision with the tug Paoh,
Captain Philip b. Gardner, her
master, mate, w. J. Smell, and one sea
man whose name was never learned. the
wreckers, 1T appears, while at work, as
sisted by divers had brought to the sur
face the skull bone of a human being
and several other parts which by their
dimensions would indicate that they had
belonged to one person of an unusually
large frame. In this connection they
were somewhat mystitied to know now
the bones became fast in among the
cargo and this gave rise to some curious
reports, which have been magniled until
some persons have been led to the be-
lief that there occurred previous to the
sinking of the vessel some disaster that
was not reported.
AT the office of Manuel McShain q
Company. the agents here for the iose
yesseh it is believed that the bones are
none other than those of Mate Smell as
he was a large man with prominent
square Jaws. He was said to have been
on deck attempting to cut away the HE
boat at the time the vessel sunk. Dut
it is quite easy to imagine how he could
have been held below by some heavy ma
terial and worked in among the cargo
as the vessel broke up, The man that
was below would naturally have been
found in amongst the pipe and there
held fast until the flesh decayed away
from the bones. No settlement of this
case has ever been made.

YOUNG HOoDLUMs FINED.
Threw stones ON Steps and Rang
Bousebells-Polfce Took a Hand.

l6 - ~
Three well known young men of the
Heights started a little celebration last
night which included innumerable visits
to thirst-cure establishments and as a
result the three young men were ar
raigned before Acting Police Justice Macs
in the Oakland avenue court this morn
ing charged with being disorderly per-
sons. Two of the trio, Fred Niles, of No.
12S Sherman avenue, and Alfred Siegfried.
of No. SO South street, paid fines of S. each
in preference to going to the County Jail
for thirty days. Another, John Mulhearn,
of No. 2 Sherman avenue contributed 81
to the city's treasury ooner han spend
five days in jail. Siegfried was also
charged with interfering with Roundsman
Richards when that officer attempted to
arrest his companions. This charge was
dismissed as the prisoner satisfied the
Court that he was only trying to quiet
the others and had no intention of dis
turbing the peace.
The trio nae been annoying residents
along Central avenue and other streets
of the Heights by shying paving stones
on front stoops and ringing door bells.
When they were warned to desist by
Roundsman Richards and Ratrolman Mar
tin, they expressed doubt as to the ability
of the policemen to prevent them from
amusing themselves as they saw fit. They
used somewhat abusive language in ex-
their opinions of the police in
general and these officers in particular.

Some time ago complaint was made to
the Board of Health that Gustave
Schmidt, who conducted a butchers shop
at No. 145 Manhattan avenue, was MAX

ease. The matter vas placed in the

day afternoon last a descent was made
upon the sausage establishment and a
number of samples were captured. AS
a result of the examination of the stuff
a summons was issued for Schmidt to ap-
pear in the Oakland avenue police court
on August 81. When the officer reached
the sausage mill he learned that his man
a disappeared.
This morning, Mrs. Schmidt appeared
in the Oakland venue police court and
