People Fleeing from jackson, Miss.
Because Of Yellow Fever.
Jackson. Miss, Sept. 10. - Tho city u
completely demoralized and business u
at standstill. The people continued
to pour out Of the city during all OF
Tuesday night and day, and by mid.
night fully two-thirds of the population
had gone. Their fears as to the
suspicious cases at Edwards, rs miles
distant, were in no way allayed, but
their apprehension grows hourly.
DIR. Guiteras, the government expert,
arrived at Edwards at four q. m.
Wednesday from Mobile, on special
train. In reply to telegram asking for
information of the situation at Ed
wards, he replied that he could make
no statement for publication. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that DIR. Guiteras
has already reported to the surgeon
general at Washington, and that he
confirms seven genuine cases of yellow
fever and there are many suspects.
At 1880 p. nj. Mayor Wharton posted
notice that he had been advised by the
state board of health that it would be
well to get all the people out of town,
provided they wanted to leave at all.
New Orleans, Sept. Is. - There has
been no further change in the fever sit
uation since the official bulletin of the
board of health Tuesday night declar-
ing five new cases of yellow fever. In
the matter of the five suspicious cases,
1t was understood that the board Of ex-
perts would pay visits again to further
note the condition of the patients and
to complete their diagnoses. A final
report on some more of these cases
would be made during the day. Nu-
merous suspected cases were being re-
ported to the board, but many of them
were known to show no traces of yellow
fever.
On the streets there is no semblnnce
of excitement. and what business there
is to transact locally is going on without
Interruption. 1t is only ut the steamer
aud ship landings and ut their depots
that any evidences of the effects of the
fever here are found. So MANY towns
are quarantining against river craft
that most of the boats will have to be
withdrawn for the time being. At
railroad depots very little freight is be-
ing handled, and the passenger bust
ness has dwindled to nothing.

REFUGEES IN GREECE.
Thousands Made Destitute by the
R0vaEeM of the Turkiah Armx

RnvaEes of the Turkish Army
Washington, Sept. 16.-As result of
the Turkish occupation OF Thessaly, uc-
cording to dispatch to the state de
pnrtment from United States Consul
Horton, at Athens, there are now over
100000 Thessalian refugees scattered
through Greece, mostly in condition
of restitution. Even should peace be de-
clared tomorrow and these refugees be
allowed to return to their abandoned
homes, several years would be required
to repair the damage done and to re-
establish life and industry on their
former basis. The Turkish army OF oc-
equation renped and appropriated all
of the grain, which amounted to $780,
100000 pounds of wheat, 53,2a0,0O of
Indian corn and $1,000, 900 OF barley. All
sheep and cattle not driven away by the
fleeing inhabitants went to feed the
Turkish army-a serious matter for
Greece, as the principal meat supply has
been hitherto derived from ThessaIy.

MaGowan and Mrs. Barnes walked past
the house where Mrs. MaGowan and her

times. The boys believed 1t was with
the deliberate purpose Of annoying their
mother. They began to shout at Ma
Gowan and told him to take Mrs Barnes
into the house. and it is said that I'M
complimentary remarks were made.
MaGowan walked into the yard Of his
former wife's house after the boys.
They ran into the house. Meanwhile
Mrs. MaGOwan sent for policeman and
ordered the arrest of the ex-mayor. The
latter ordered the policeman to arrest the
boys, but the policeman declined to do
either without warrant. The matter

issued, but at the police headquarters to-
night ii was said no steps had been
taken yet by either side.

London Finances.

London. June 6.-The principal fea-
ture on the stock exchange last week
was the increased activity in American
railway securities, secured by German
buying after realization. The market is
much stronger than before and this
seems TO have infused new life to the
general market. Grand Trunk being es-
pecially favored as result of the excel
lent April statement. South American
mining shares are more quiet. There
has been no noteworthy fall. A good
deal of attention is given to West Aus
tralians, where developments are prom
iSing.
A decidedly holiday feeling pervades
the city and the Stock Exchange is closed
till Tuesday. when the settlement in min
ing shares will begin, to be followed on
Wednesday by the general list.
There is always some difficulty in EN-
ploying balances over the holidays, as the
half per cent rate for the week rallied
averages from II to "a. Last week
discount and money rates tluctuated
from day to day. The very large APP
plications for new japanese bonds
caused some scarcity, but the lcndings by
the India council since have made the
tone somewhat better.

FROM THURSDAYS DAILY.
A GRUESOME FIND,
The Body of a Little Babe Found by
Some Children.

Yesterday morning, while Miss Rocky
Hardin and some companions were play
ing on First street. some three or four
blocks east of Waller creek, they
jumped up rabbit and he ran under an
old vacant house, the children following
him. AS they were crawling about,
hunting the rabbit, they found bundle
of old quilts carefully rolled up. They
unrolled the bundle and to their dismay
the skeleton of very small babe was eX-
posed to view. The children scrambled
out from under the house in short order
and little Rockcy hurried home to tell
her mother, and the neighborhood soon
turned out. and word was sent to the
officers.
Justice Mat Johnson called up DR..
Graves and they went down to investi-
gate and they found that the babe had
probably been dead a month or two:
About all left of it was the bones and
skin and a few hairs on the skull, which
indicated that the child was white.
There was nothing to show that the
child had met a violent death, notwith..
standing there was some evidence OF
blood about the quilts in which it had
been wrapped. The size and condition
of the bones indicated that possibly the
child may have been two or three weeks
old at the time of its death.

A HAPPY WEDDING.
st. Mary's Church the Scene of a
Beautiful Wedding.

st. MRry'S Churcn the ScehS VI I"
Beautiful Wedding.
Yesterday morning at s o'clock, just af-
ter high mass at st. Marys church, Rev.
Father Lauth united in marriage Miss
Dedie Newton, youngest daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. w. H. Newton of this city, to
Mr.. w. ]. Mcnamara, book keeper for
Mexican & Eilers. The spacious church
had been beautifully decorated for the
occasion, and there was a wealth of lv-
ing verdure to add to the beauty of the
surroundings. Graceful palms and fra,
grant and many-hued flowers charmed
the eye and breathed of hallowed love
and happiness for the young couple.
The ceremony by Father Lauth was
solemn and impressive, made unusually
so from the fact that it is the first time
for many years that wedding has been
solemnized at high mass in Austin. The
church was crowded with friends of the
contracting parties, who witnessed the
beautiful ceremony with the greatest in
terest.
The bride is well known in Austin,
where her charming manners, womanly
graces and intelligence have attracted to
her a large number of friends, all of
whom wish her a blessed, happy life. The
groom is well known and stands high in
the estimation of all with whom he as
sociates. Mexican & Eilers prize him
highly, and yesterday they closed their
house and all attended the wedding. The
groom has the well-wishes of a large
number of friends.
The newly married couple left on the
noon Houston and Texas Central train
for the Nashville exposition, and they
will be absent two or three weeks.

PURELY LOCAL ISSUES.
New York Municipal Elections VIII
Not he Burdened with Ma



Albany, n. Y. June 6.-The demo-
cratic party will not bring national issues
into the various local campaigns and eec-
tons in this state this fall, and while re-
pudiation of the Chicago platform will
not be allowed, it will not be brought
forward as an issue paramount to any
thing else. That is the statement of Ma
tionnl Committeeman Frank Campbell of
Bath. MIR. Campbell was in the city to-
night, fresh from conference with
party leader, and said:
1.-THE policy of the democratic party of
the nation as laid down in the platform
at Chicago il. 1896 can not be disturbed
until the next democratic national con-
vention, which will be held in 1900. 1t
will stand snaltered. In the election
last fall the regular organization of the
state of New York was loyal and true
to the nominees and platform of the
Chicago convention. The same organ-
cation heartily supported Mr.. Cleveland
date for president, although these dele
gates were opposed to him in the national
convention.
II believe in home rule. If the demo-
Gratis of the city of New York. Buffalo
and Rochester deem 1t expedient and
wise to party success to conduct their
local elections without injecting into
them state or national issues, believe
they have perfect right to do so. with
out interference of any state or nationals
committee. Democrats living in the
state outside of the city of New York are
looking anxiously for the election of
democratic mayor for Greater New
York. If this could be accomplished it
would encourage the rank and file of the
party and enable the organization to get
into fighting shape for the important state
election that is to take place year from
this fall. when governor, state officers
and legislature are to be elected.
IF we carry Greater New York and
elect eight officers next year, then the
party will be in shape, with a fair chance
of placing New York in the democratic
column in 1900.
AS the representative of the organizes
ton of New York on the national COM
mittee. | can state that, SO far as know.
the national committee has no interest In
New York state elections this fall and
does not wish to dictate to the democrats
of New York what their issues shall be
in these elections"

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Its Excessive Use.
Common soda is all right in it's place
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but it
was never intended for a medicine, and
people who use it as such will some day
regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands of people prac-
tice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover, the soda
only gives temporary relief and in the
end the stomach trouble gets worse and
worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it accumu-
lated in the intestines, causing death by
inflammation or peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab
let's are large 20 grain lozenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the natural
acids, peptones and digestive elements
essential to good digestion, and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before it has
time to ferment, sour and poison the
blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and
finds them certain cure not only for
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create a healthy appetite, in
crease flesh and strengthen the action of
the heart and liver. They are not a
cathartic but intended only for stomach
diseases and weaknesses. and will be
found reliable in any stomach trouble ex-
cept cancer of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets at 80 cents per package.

stomach weakness and their cure mailed
