MISSISSIPPIANS DETERMINED TO
STOP RAILWAY TRAFFIC..

Further Tearing Up of Tracks
and Burning of TrestIes.
RESULT OF THE FEVER PANIC
GOVERNOR M'LAURIN NOT PERMIT
TED TO ENTER THE CAPITAL.
Eleven New Cases of "BIack JacIS' at
Mobile, Five at New Orleans
and Ten at Edwards.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept 1s.-As a result
of the destruction of the tracks and
culvert on the Alabama &, vicksburg road
early this moraing, Governor McLaurin has
ordered out the Capital Light Guards, of
this city, in order to prevent any further
destruction of property. The number of
men composing this company in ordinary
times is about thirty-six, but it is doubtful
whether more than ten or twelve can be
assembled at this time. In addition to tear
ing up the tracks of the Alabama & Vicks-
burg Railroad, the crowd also burned a
trestle of the same road a few miles west
of the city. Meridian having consented to
allow trains to pass through that city, the
Alabama & Vicksburg regular train passed
here at p. m. yesterday going to Meridian.
The speed of the train was not greater
than four miles an hour, whereas the road
has been ordered to run it's trains through
here at twenty-mile rate. Not only was
this order willfully disregarded by the road,
but the train actually stopped in the heart
of the city. Indignation is at fever heat
here, and the people say that if necessary
to compel the observance of their reason
able quarantine regulations they will burn
every bridge between here and Vicksburg
The city authorities say that if yellow
fever is introduced into Jackson it will be
by the unlawful disregard of their rules
as in this case.
VICKSBURG, Miss, Sept. Ex-Governor
McLaurin has instructed the state troops
at this place to be ready to move, and has
wired Superintendent Bond of the Queen
& Crescent to know If he can handle them
to which the latter responded favorably.
The Jackson outrage has created much ex-
citement here. Superintendent Bond cor
rects the report from Jackson that he had
instructed the engineer of yesterdays train
to run as he pleased through Jackson. On
the contrary, in view of the threats re-
ported from there that the bridges would
be burned tracks torn up and switches
thrown, the engineer was ordered TO run
through the town carefully and with his
train under full control; the orders that a
prudent man would give under the circum-
stances. The doors of the train We're
locked. Messages have been received from
citizens Of Jackson repudiating last nights
affair and terming it the act of lawless
men. From Meridian to Shreveport the
Queen & Crescent is now tied up, though
negotiations are pending which may open
the Louisiana division tomorrow. Vicks-
burg is still free from fever.

train was to start later. DR.. James tele-
graphed to the Bellevue Hospital superin-
tendent to have an ambulance at the milk
station of the New York Central road at
Forty-eighth street and Lexington avenue
The physician had the young man placed
on the milk train. The patient reached
Bellevue early in the morning. Surgeons
found that the shaft had penetrated Los
ser'S body near the navel 1t had pierced
the stomach and made a hole about two
inches in diameter. On the end of the
shaft was brass ferule There was some
dirt on the end OF the shaft, and this made
the case still more serious. An operation
was performed at once, and Losser stood IL
well. He was unconscious when admitted
and has been in a semi-comatose condition
since the operation.

Governor McLaurin Quarant.ned.

JACKSON, Miss. Sept. 18-The Governor
of a sovereign State denied admission to
the capital city-this is the unique state
of affairs that exists in Mississippi this
morning as a result of the troublesome
times in which the people now find them
selves. Governor McLaurin at the outbreak
of the yellow fever wave was in the inter-
rior of Simpson county, from which place
he proceeded to his old home in Brandon.
Being anxious to return to the state capi-
tai, he made application to the City Board
of Health for permission to enter the city,
which was promptly declined by that board.
There is a general quarantine rule against
persons entering the city. and these public
officials had no respect of persons in en-
forcing the rule.

TREsPAssING.

There seems to be a general dis
position on the part of some people
to wholly disregard the property
rights of others in the matter of
hunting on their lands, fishing in
the streams and ponds and taking
such liberties in the way of building
fires as they see proper. Especially
is it considered that these associa-
tions which have been established
in our county are proper subjects on
which to intlict such wanton tres
passes. They are looked upon as
soulless corporations, ,grasping lands,
streams and ponds, to the detriment
and injury of what people call the
liberty of the poor man. It needs
no argument to show that these as
sociations have rights which are
bound to be respected. They are
heavy taxpayers, spend large
amounts of money in improvements
employ natives of the county, pay
good wages, buy produce of the
farmers, aid largely in improving
the roads, contribute to the schoc
funds, and in manifold ways, are a
benefit to the community and
county. They are anxious to refor-
est the lands, which were worthless
barrens and to make pleasant places
of what were wildernesses of rocks,
stones and fire swept hills. They
seek health and pleasure, are not
selfish in their enjoyments, spend
money, made elsewhere, freely here
and they should receive the support
and encouragement of all our peo-
pie. This is fair, it is just and right

PoACHERs.

We have learned that the Forest
Lake Association has been annoyed
by some who poach on its lakes at
night, fish and hunt on its lands at
all seasons, build camp fires in its
woods, and conduct themselves in a
lawless manner generally. For each
of these offences there is a penalty
and recent legislation has made the
infiction easier and more certain.
The officers feel that they have suf-
fered at the hands of such characters
until forbearance has ceased to be
a virtue, and they contemplate tax
ing such steps as will protect them
by having the law enforced. The
property of the club is being closely
watched, and the surrounding for
ests are being guarded so as to de-
tect marauders. This association is
greatly interested in preserving and
cultivating its forests and the rs
storation of the wild game in the
woods, and fish in its ponds. Those
who persistin these violations should
not feel, if they are caught and pun
ished, that any hardship has been
inflicted They have had ample no
