Several Deaths Reported.

The number of red and yellow flags, in
dichting yellow fever about New Orleans.
Is increasing, but the disease is not grow
ing any more malignant than it was ten
days ago. "A new case was reported We'd
nesday morning at an early hour on Jack
son avenue. 1t is the fourth on that
thoroughfare. Reports were also received
at the Board of Health of two Deaths but
the names and locations were not given
out. A tent 1900 feet away from the
main building has been established at the
camp of detention for the care of develop
ed cases Of the fever until they can be re-
moved to the isolation hospital. 1t is an
nounced that the reported sickness on the
steamer Tartar Prince is not yellow fever,
but malaria. The cases were examined
by DR.. Carter of the marine hospital SER
vice. DIR. John Guiteras was invited to
accompany President Oliphant and DR..
Carter on their trip as far as Shreve-
port, to confer with health officials in
the interest of more rational quarantine
regulations. Arrangements are being
made for the establishment of a camp of
detention, to which laborers may go be-
fore leaving for the country to do work
on the sugar plantations. There is a
large demand in the sugar districts for
labor. The Board of Health issues a no.
tice to physicians to promptly report all
cases of patients discharged.

ing the storm the hawser which connect

She carried crew of seven men and two
passengers, the latter being Engineer Tur-
ner and his wife, Of the steamer Eliza An

port that there are three tons Of gold at
st. Michacl's awaiting shipment on the
sound ON the steamer Portland il untrue;
that unless the gold arrived from Dawson
after the tug sailed, very little will be
brought down before the river opens and
the boats get down next June. Travel
from ST. Michaers up the Yukon was still
going on when the Holyoke left, but the
river was not expected to remain open
long. People mt st. Michael's are well
provided with necessaries of life for win
ter, and many of them are engaged in
building boats, which will be operated
upon the river next season.

from Lack Of Kahn
Nearly the entire central and western
portions OF the United States are suffer
ing from the long-continued drought.
Danger and hardship exist In many of the
sections where no rain has fallen recent
", and the result IL great fear among the
people. Had not the crops matured be-
fore the dry spell they would have been
scorched and ruined. And even now fire
threatens the fields and pastures on the
prairies Of Illinois and other Western
States.
4, In many instances the conditions have
become such that there Is actually severe
suffering among the population. Farmers
on both sides OF the Missouri river are
compelled to haul water many miles.
Wells have become dry and men and ami
mails must quench their thirst. The only
rain that has fallen has been insufficient
to affect the, parched ground or to bring
water into wells which have become dry
or at least low. Instead OF the fall rains,
which would soften the ground for plow-
ing, there is fair weather and an unusual
and dangerous dryness.
One of the greatest dangers connected
with this condition throughout the coun-
try is that of fire. Not only in northern
Wisconsin, covered by timber land, is
there fear OF destructive fires, but in
Illinois and adjoining States every farmer
whose acres are traversed by railroad
or are near to any railway line is con-
stantly afraid his corn fields may be set
afire by sparks from n passing locomo-
tive. The dried-up pastures all over the
prairie land are in the same danger, and
the least carelessness may result in enOr-
nous destruction and even loss Of life.
AS for the lack Of water, it is daily be-
coming greater, and farmers do not know
what they will do with their stock when
present sources of supply give out, which
will not be long il there is no precipita-
ton of moisture soon. There is no State
where these conditions do not exist Kan
sas, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois
and Indiana all are included in the belt
where there is nothing but dust and the
parched remains Of harvest fields and pas
lures where animals grazed n month ago.
In Illinois, Indiana and Iowa there is the
worst suffering, according to the reports
received from all the cities, towns and
hamlets in the country districts of these
three States.
In Illinois and Iowa, where so large a
portion of the crop is corn and corn fields
cover every county and line every rail-
way, the most fear of prairie fires exists.
1t is only the absence of a strong wind
which has so far prevented them, for any
small spark might kindle one which could
spread over large area. The farmers
have exercised the greatest care during
the last two weeks to prevent small
blazes spreading.
But the fire danger and the suffering
from want of water in some districts is
not the only result of the drought. Nearly
all pasturage has been made absolutely
barren. At this time, when horses and
cows usually are outside before the ap-
proach of the cold weather, they must
be fed on hay. They have torn up even
the roots in pastures In their endeavor to
get grass, and dust has taken the place
of verdure.

Verdict on the Deaths.

The coroner's jury which investigated
the death of the striking miners at Latti-
mer, Pa, after an hours deliberation rem
dered the following verdict: THAT from
the circumstances of the case and the
evidence offered, the said Clement Pla-
took and others came to their death by
gunshot wounds Gu Sept. 10, 1897, at the
hands of Sheriff James Martin and his
deputies, and in this way we the jury do
all agree; and we. Phil j. Boyle. Thomas
L. Thomas, Barton Freas and Peter Nc
Kiernan, Of this jury, do further say that
the said Clement Platock, with others,
was marching peaceably and unarmed on
the public highway; that they were inter-
cepted by said Sheriff Martin and his
deputies and mercilessly shot to death;
and we do further find that the killing
was unnecessary and could have been
avoided without serious injury to either
person or property, and we find finally
that the killing was wanton and unjustif-
able; but in this we, George Maue and
Il. j. MacNeal of this jury, do not concur;
and we the jury do further say that there
was such strong suspicion of unlawful
violence at the hands of person or persons
unknown to this jury as to make this in
quest necessary"

Rock Island Train Robbed by Five
Outlaws.

A Rock Island passenger train was held
MP near Chickasha, l. T., by band Of
five robbers. The bandits lay secreted
near the section house until within half
hour OF train time, when they took pos
session OF the section house and all with
in. They then secured the switch keys,
opened the siding and tagged the train.
The train men wondered what it all
meant, but ran upon the track until stop
ped by a car of coal, half of the passen-
ger train remaining upon the main track.
The robbers Immediately boarded the
engine, drew the fire and opened the mud
valve. They used dynamite on the ex-
press car door and entered, then went to
work on the local and through safes. The
through safe contained large amount Of
currency, but it resisted the explosives.
The local safe gave way after two or
three attempts, and everything within it
was secured, Amounting to several hun
dred dollars. The bandits were not at all
satisfied with this, and three of them, in
Guiding their leader, went through the
day coaches and sleeper, securing every
thing of value from the passengers.

Dun's Review Says That of the Past
Three Months.
II. G. Dun IL Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Trade says: 1.-THE failures during the third
quarter of 1897 were 1908, with liabili-
ties of $2S,963, 261, of which twenty-nine
Were in banking, with liabilities of 3d.
49,, 069. The commercial failures, 2,S1A
with liabilities of $25,576,1 1872, average
only $500 each, lower than in any other
quarter for twenty-three years. The
amount of defaultcd liabilities is the
smallest in any quarter for five years, and
In fifteen years only six quarters have
shown smaller liabilities. Manufacturing
failures, 651, with liabilities of $9,431,-
191, average but $14,4S7 each, and trad
ing, 2,164, with liabilities Of $12,S25,O65
average but $5,927 each, both smaller in
average of liabilities than in any previous
year of which classified record exists. The
volume Of legitimate business continues a
little larger than in the same month of
1892. New York makes settlements for a
large part of the country, and the daily
average, including city, was in September,
S2O6, 1854 900, against $134, S59,0OO last
year, $133, 10000 in 1894, $122, 49,, 900
In 1893 and $176, 327, 900 in 1892, SO that
the gain over the same month in the best
of past years is IL per cent"
