An Effort Made TO Destroy the Pests in
York Township.

An Effort Made to Destroy the Pests in
York Township.
Yesterday a representative OF the
PRESS made a trip to the hopper in
tested neighborhood in York town
ship, mentioned in former issues.
The fields had been visited the day
before by Prof. Saunders, entomolo-
gist OF the Brookings college, togeth-
er with numerous citizens-this trip
resulting in a reques I TO the county
Commissioners to look into the mat
ter. Commissioners Baily, Thomp-
son and Coquillette came and made
an examination.
The first place examined vas Robt.
McCarthy's wheat field, where hop
pers We're thicker than hopes for rain
after three days OF dry weather. We
found there q crude instrument Or
dered made by the Professor to eXter-
inmate the bugs which by the way,
are green and brownin color, and are
called Colorado iocusts. This chop
perdoser' as the Prof. calls it,
looked like three large dripping pans
fastened together-in other words, a
tin pan affair about six feet long two
feet wide and two inches deep, with
two or three divisions in it. This
pan was placed on two runners-2x4
sticks laid fiat. On the back side of
the pan was fastened a light lath
frame three feet high covered with
muslin. Attach a rope to the front
end OF each 2x4, and you are ready
to drag it across a hopper field. A
couple OF men can pull it, but of
course when working in earnest a
horse would be hitched to it. The
pan was filled with kerosene, al
though crude petroleum is cheaper
and better, and will be used. AS the
hopperdoser is pulled overthe ground
MYRIADs OF HoPPERs
Jump up out of the grain, the bulk of
them right towards the muslin sail,
which they strike and then fall into
the pans and oil. A few jumps and
wiggles, a roll over on their backs
an~d-that's all.
The grain is not literally eaten off
clean, but in patches, six or eight
inch stalks being ate down to within
one or two inches of the ground,
but of course in time all would be
cleaned off. The hoppers were found
in wheat, in grass, and in dry weeC
patches. They were in almost al
stages, from q quarter inch to ovel
one inch in length-the larger one.
; being nearly able to Hy-and they
were in patches over
COUPLE OF MILES SQUARE.
They dropped down there last sum
mer, laid their eggs in the ground
and the results a wonderful ncreas,
i. which would be ten times create
next year.
{ The Commissioners decided t.
make an effort to eradicate the pests
/ as officers of both Brown and Ed
munds counties are doing. The.
have ordered a hall dozen OF pan
: made, which cost about so each

tested fields. Those who have passes

Bay St. Louis, reported that town healthy. with no eemblanee of yellow jack. Ths re seems to be TO threatened ex- odus from the city. At Baton Rouge the situation is normal The Northwestern officials said they were carrying much heavier consignment of passengers than ordinarily, and contributed the increase to the natural outflow of strangers. An additional death hss-hecn reported at Ocean Springs, with symptoms of vel low fever, a. mulIsto,
 No ngw cases had been reported during the afternoon. ocean Springs has now been absolutely cut off from the outside world and tlha oaay means of reaching the town are by wire or mail. 1t was said ttfe afternoon there was only one ton of ice in town. and there were mo means to get more. Physicians in town get no rest, and 1t is probable they will soon be exhausted at ther work, but in the course of day or two means will be found whereby relief will be supplied. If required, this city's physicians will volunteer ito aid the local doctors.
 In a dispatch it was strongly intimat- ed That yellow fever had been communi cated from Ship Island, where the gov ernment maintains O quarantine station. The island is within sight of ocean Springs. Today MT. Haraiscn, of the Mississippi board of health, said that the gulf quarantine at Ships Island is a nenace ito the health of the people of Mississippi and the people of the entire south. Ship Island harbor should either be devoted to quarantine or to shipping, and should not be used for both pur- poses.
 asked Dr. Wyman, supervising sur geon-general of the United States, or pr. Moray, surgeon of tse United States marine, or pr. Smii5h, assistant surgeon in the quarantine office at Ship Island, to show mo anywhere in the world a harbor as small as Ship Island harbor that is used for both quarantine and shipping without lazaretto for yellow fever patients. Mississippi is the only state in the unon that would submit to the indignity and danger of such sta- tion at her very door.

THE OLD STORY.
Allegro Attempted to Assault Miss MilIstead at
 0xmoor.

An unknown negro, thought so be named Charlie Paine, msue an attempt to erimlnally assault Miss Annie Mil1- stead, a white woman about IS years old, in Oxmoor early yesterday morning. That information was given to the sher- iffs office shortly before o'clock in the morning.
 The negro entered the house of James Veath, an employe of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, at that place, where he worked around the furnace. The young lady was a visitor at his residence. She was awakened before daylight by some one touching her. She saw it was a negro and began to. scream. This attracted MT. Yeath to her room, when she told of the black intruder and his attempt to assault her. The negro made his escape at once in the darkness and did not attempt to rob the house. 1
 Chief Deputy Robert Warnock took the dogs and two deputies to the scene during the morning, but the trail was so dry that pursuit was impossible. At midnight TO information had been re- ceived at the county jail concerning the negro.

A STRICKEN FATHER.
A Telegram From the Infected District Tells of
 the Death of His Daughter.

Yesterday morning Jule Schusrtze, a tnaveling man who is in the city, re- ceived a telegram from Ocean Springs that his daughter, a lady in h5r 18th year. had died of the dread yellow fe- yer. She was there for the summer, and was among the first who were strickeD with the disease.
 The grief of the aged gentleman was pitable to behold. He paced the hotel corridor, hs muscleis twitching nerv- ously, and bitter tears coursing down his wrinxlsd cheeks. In ansewr to uuer- ries he said his home was in St. Louis, but his family were summering in Ocean Springs. His daughter was to have been married in two months. The grief of the old gentleman seemed to be intensified by the knowledge that he could not go to her bier on account of the quarantines.

This decision was arrived at after @ conference this afternoon be- tween Dr. Andrews and his advisers and khe committee of the corporation. His connection with the Cosmopolitan university, it is thought, will take up too much of his time to permit of hEs de- voting his attention to both universities. His decisoin is reserved pending his con- sideraion of the request of the faculty begging him to remain.

Where Is the Vessel.

Philadelphia, Sept 7.-From informa- tion brought to this port tonight by the British steamship Straits of Dover, from Santiago de Cuba, there is reason to fear that the Schooner Donna T. Briggs, which sailed from New York three weeks ago with arms and ammunition for the insurgent army, has foundered. The steamer brought word that the Briggs had not arrived on the coast of the province and that nothing had been heard from her. Her cargo was intend ed for Gen. Garcia. who is encamped in the mountains near Baracoa, on the north coast of the province, awaiting
 the aariva1 of the vessel. She was deep iy laden with a dead weight cargo of shot and shell when she left New York.

In the inferior criminal court yester- day morning the case against w. G.. Lunsford for violating the plumbing regulations was argued and submitted to Judge Feagin. The decision was held up. The plumbers regard this as a test case. The cause of the plumbers com- plaint is that they are required to make a deposit of $25 in addition to their reg ular annual license. It must be re- placed when exhausted. The plumbers do not relish this law, and are attempt ing to have it repealed.
