New Orleans, Nov. 2O.-The yellow
fever outbreak of 1897 is almost a
thing of the past. Yesterday for the
first time in more than two months
there was not death from yellow fe-
yer in this city, and only six new cases.
Many refugees have returned home,
quarantine which has paralyZed the
commerce of the city has been relaxed
everywhere and business is already be-
ginning to revive. In fact things have
begun to look right cheerful. The
same encouraging conditions prevail in
all coast towns, which have been in
fected and by the end of the week it
is believed everything will have re-
turned to a normal state. At Ed
wards and other towns to the north,
heavy frosts have fallen and the fever
has entirely disappeared. Today the
weather turned quite warm and ten
new cases and four death for twenty
four hours ending at six o'clock We're
reported.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 2O.-The death of
Capt. ]. H. Nichols, yesterday, in Ma
coochee valley, this state, recalls ro-
nance that reads like fiction. Thirty
years ago Captain Nichols was one of
the most popular and most successful
young lawyers in South Georgia. He
was rich and talented, and had scores
of friends. Just while he was in the
zenith of his success he discovered that
his beautiful young wife was in the
primary stages of insanity. He then
built a magnificent palace in the Ma
coochee valley, fifty miles from a rail-
road. had pianos and fine furniture
hauled by wagon over the hills, and
made the place a veritable fairyland
1t was as pretty in detail and in con-
ception as the palaces and gardens
pictured in Arabian Nights" The
wealth of an idolizing, doting husband
was concentrated in making that home
for the insane wife as beautiful as hu-
man ingenuity could conceive. The
natural effects were marvellous within
themselves and the handiwork of man
enhanced them until there was no
such realm of beauty in all the south
land. Nacoochee valley is two miles
long and about half a mile wide, just
the size for the ideal place that Cap
tain Nichols made of it. 1t was, per-
haps, the most unreal, stIangest eX-
istence ever recorded outside the pag-
es of fiction, yet it is part of history
of Georgia, remembered by many Of
her citizens of today. However, the
wife, sad to say, even in the midst of
her gorgeous surroundings, instead of
improving, after a time grew worse
and finally had to be taken to an in
sane asylum, where she is yet. After
separation the husband appeared
heartbroken, and has never since cared
for anything. He was ever afterward
moody and silent caring absolutely for
nothing. The beauty of his magnifi-
cent place had no charms for him any
more, he failed to attend properly to
his own business affairs, and in
dreamy state of mind lived out weary
existence. He met with financial re-
verses, facing them calmly and with
so little emotion as to evidence the fact
that nothing in life had any interest
for him. He lost most all of his prop
erty and died in the remote corner
of the splendid estate which was once
all his own.

Monroe, La, Nov. 2O-The state con-
vention of the Peoples party, after adj
journing yesterday to meet at o'clock
this morning did not assemble until
u o'clock, the delay being caused by
the committee on nominations not be-
ing able to agree on a full set of nom
inees. The committee as composed
was dominated by the Middle Of the
Readers" who wanted to put no one on
the ticket but true and tried followers
of the Middle of the Road policy, while
the minority of the COM
mittee favored more con-
sentative plan and advocated putting
representative men on the ticket, re-
CARELESS of their past party affiliations,
so long as they favored the reforms adj
vocated by the Peoples party. After
considerable wrangling the committee
brought in their report, which, when
read, did not meet with the approval of
the convention, so the whole matter
was referred back to the committee
with gentle hint to the effect that
the minority report would be prefera-
BILE. The convention then adjourned
| to meet again at p. M, but before
doing so the committee on resolutions
and platform reported a series of re-
| solutions, which were adopted without
a dissenting vote. The substance of
the report is as follows: They de-
nounce the legislature for calling a
limited constitutional convention and
advise all good citizens to vote against
the same and in favor of an unlimited
one. They denounce fraud and the
attempt to disfranchise any class of
citizens. They favor poll tax receipts
as voters registration receipts. They
favor the Australian ballot system, re-
duction of expenses in state affairs, es-
pecially judicial and executive, reduc-
ton of state taxes, but not to exceed
mills, exemption of citizens home
steads without registration or condi-
ton. They denounce one man pow
er and favor making all officers cleo
tive and oppose the issuance of bonds
by municipal and parochial corpora
tons, and demand a better system of
public schools, The convention re-as-
sembled at o'clock and the nominat-
ing committee reported that they had
nominated ticket from the twenty
six senatorial districts. The names
were then read and adopted. This act
shelves the middle of the road policy
for the time as the ticket names a
number of prominent Republicans as
delegates at large. After the report
was read and adopted, the state central
committee was empowered to fill any
vacancies that might occur by death.
after which the convention adjourned.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 20.-Every
now and then the accusation is made
that there are leaks in the United
States Supreme court. These charg-
es are preferred, however only to be
denied. a suit for $4,000 damages in
the Supreme court of New York coun-
ty, just instituted, discloses that a
friendly tip as to what would be the
opinion of the United States Supreme
court in the Bell telephone case, recent
ly decided, resulted in a deal by which
certain Washington lobbyists cleared
about 100000 in Wall street.. The
suit is the result of a wrangle between
the principals, Edwin Barbour, of Vir-
ginia, now of New York city, and ].
b. McMurran, western man. Nc
Murran claimed to have a friend in
the clerks office at the court who could
be relied on to give him the correct tip
at the right time, and he kept his
promise, too, but failing to get his
share of the "swag" kicked up row
and took the matter into court. Phil
Thompson, of Kentucky, a well known
lobbyist here, who took an active part
in getting the sugar bounty through,
is also said to be implicated in the deal
as a Silent" partner of McMurren
The publication of the details of the af-
fair has stirred up quite a sensation
in legal circles here, but the allegations
of McMurren are emphatically denied
by Clerk McKenny, of the Supreme
court. Not only do the verdicts of the
courts in cases adjudicated never reach
this office until they have been hand
ed down from the bench, says Mr.. Nc
Kenny, but in this particular case the
usual custom of sending the opinion to
the printer was not followed out, the
decision of the court having been read
from the original manuscript 1t is
a notorious fact, however, that impor-
tant decisions of the Supreme cour
have for years been obtainable in ad-
vance, particularly in such cases where
there was a motive to excite the Gu
pidity of spectators, as occurred in
the income tax case, the Chicago lake
front case, the Laclede gas case, and
others in which the full text of the OPP
inion was secured without very great
difficulty.

Austin, Tex, Nov. 2O.-The following
letter, which is self explanatory, has
been issued from the office of the at
torney general:
Attorney Generals Office,
Austin, Tex, Nov. II, '97.
Gov. c. A. Culberson, Capitol:
Dear Sir-I am in receipt of yours of
yesterday, in which you inquire wheth-
er there is any law to punish white
Gaping" which you understand to
consist of threats made to do personal
violence to citizens unless they obey
some request of the whitecappers.
Replying thereto 1 beg to say that it
seems to me that Arts. 962 to 966, in
elusive of the Penal Code, provide for
the punishment Of just such conduct
as you mention. Art. 962 says:
IF any person shall threaten to take
the life of any human being, or to in
fiict upon any human being any SER
ious bodily injury, he shall be punished
by fine of not less than one hundred
nor more than two thousand dollars
and in addition thereto may be i'm
prisoned in the county Jail not ex-
ceeding one year"
The threat as provided by this article
of the code, must be to do serious bod
lily injury in order to constitute an Of
Tense. Art. 966, however, is broader
in its terms. 1t provides:
If any person shall knowingly send,
deliver to another any letter or writing
whether signed or not, threatening to
kill or in any manner injure the per-
son of such other, or to burn or other
wise destroy or injure any of his prop
erty, real or personal, or to do any
other injury to such other person, he
shall be punished by a fine not less
than one hundred nor more than one
thousand dollars; and in addition
thereto may be imprisoned in the
county jail not exceeding one year"
The first article covers threats made
to do serious bodily injury and the
second threats to do any kind Of bod
lily injury. Very truly yours,
(SigneO c. NJ. CRANE,

Austin, Tex, Nov. 2O.-Following the
custom established by the fathers and
in conformity with the proclamation
of the president of the United States,
1, Charles A. Culberson, governor Of
the State of Texas. do hereby desig-
nate and set apart Thursday, the 18th
day of November, A. D., 1897, as day
of public thanksgiving.
1t is appropriate that the people of
Texas should cultivate a spirit of rev.
erence and thankfulness. Blessed with
an imperial commonwealth, rich in his
toric treasures and limitless in mater
ial promise, they have not been mind
full of the nobler destiny of mankind
and have steadily progressed toward a
higher civilization. They have special
reason to be thankful the present year.
State agencies have responded to their
governmental demands; they have
been spared fatal pestilences which
have visited other lands; the soil has
yielded bountifully to the husbandman
and where unfettered by unjust legis-
lation material prosperity has result
ed from their labors.
The day set apart should be observ-
ed by such gatherings in places of
worship and at the family altar as
shall appropriately express to AL
mighty God our thanlfulness for these
blessings. c. A. CULBERSON,

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The United
States vice consul general for Egypt
reports to the bureau of foreign COM
merce at Washington the traffic that
passed through the Suez canal for the
first six months of 1897. The details
of this enormous commerce should fill
the American people with shame at
the pitiful part they have in that vast
business. The table given below shows
the numbers, tonnage and nationality
of ships that passed through the canal
for the time stated. 1t shows that
this great republic, which is nothing, if
not a commercial nation, is behind all
the rest, European, Asiatic and At
rican, and has sent through the canal
one small vessel of less than 700 tons
burden, and which, in reality was
pleasure yacht and not ship carry
ing commerce. Following is the COM

BIG ELEVATOR PROPOSED.

By special wire to Sunday Light.
New Orleans, La, Nov. 2O.-Since the
completion of the Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Gulf road into Lake Charles
and divisions thereof so much western
grain arrives by the new route that
the Southern Pacific, which handles
the bulk of the shipments, has had i'm
pressed the necessity for provid-
ing some facilities for handling the
grain. Hence some time ago it was
decided to erect a large elevator, and
the plans for this enterprise are now
being considered. 1t is said the South
ern Pacific will put up a large elevator,
one of the best in the south, having all
the latest improvements.
