PLAGUE FIGHTERS TRIALS.
Failure TO Report Gases Early Causes
Increased Mortalfty.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 2, 18S7.-The
fever situation did not improve this morn
ing, No new cases have ben reported,
but there were reports of four deaths. One
was Hickey, patient at the yellow fever
hospital Another death was that of O.
child named Bauer at Philip and Chip
pewa streets. A great crowd gathered
in the vicinity and extra guards had to
be sent to clear the streets.
There are five cases in the neighborhood
in one square. The Board of Health con-
tinues to find great dif1culty in it's work
of stamping out the disease. The failure
to report cases of sicknesssis becoming ex-
asperatingly common. The result is that
patients are not receiving prompt medical
attention, and are dying where they might
be pulled through if doctors were imme-
diately called in.
The cases at the yellow fever hospital
are increasing; there were II there last
night and others are to be removed there
this morning. "A number were released
yesterday and today from Detention
camp. The Rigoiets detention camp has
been closed, There was no reason to
maintain it because very few people were
coming into New Orleans over the Louis
vile and Nashville road.
Orders have been issued to send all sus-
poets from infected points to Fontaine-
bleau, where there are ample acoommo-
dations for several hundred people. AL
though the number of cases here is in
creasing the Board of Health has reso-
lutely refused to- modify its quarantine
regulations. Every affected point is be-
ing watched.
The Board will continue to quarantine
houses here wherein fever exists. The ef-
feet will be to prevent spread of the dis
ease and to give employment to several
hundred men who have been thrown out
of work by the stagnation of trade.

Tells ihe Improvement Association
His Factory Ii Not Unhealthy.

The Hudson City Improvement Asso-
citation met at Groeschers Hall, at Oak

the controversy between the Lienau
place residents and Candle Manufacturer
Charles F. Staples. Mr.. Staples was pres
ent and toward the close of the meeting
was given the privilege of the floor. He
began by reviewing the history of the
Hill section since he had become a resi-
dent of it, thirty-nine years ago.
There is no place that God has done
SO much for and man so little for as this
section of the HILL" declared Mr.. Staples.
He said he had refused, and would con-
tinue to refuse the Lienau place resi-
dents permission to drain their sewerage
u as settled No smell of any kind came
from his factory and annoyed his neigh
bors.
This was too much for the champion of
the anti-factory people, Mr.. Reder, who
jumped to his feet with the exclamation,
s.Don,t stink? 1t does nothing but stink"
1t was with difficulty that the doughty
little German could be repressed to give
the candle manufacturer an opportunity
to finish his talk.
Mr.. Reder declared that vile smelling

sured the members that the stuff which
his opponent said was foul smelling was
fifty bags of salt which he had received
at the time mentioned.

members became involved, was finally
settled by committee of three, Messss.

SCHOONER AT WHARF ON FIRE.
Pennsylvanta Railroad Department
called Out.

A fire broke out this morning on a
schooner moored on the north side OF
Pier B of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, which might haye resulted se-
riorsly On the south side of the pier
is the big steamship New York of the
American Line, laid UP for the winter,
and it would have been difficult matter
to get her out into the stream without
damage had the sheds on the wharf
caught fire.
The fire started in the galley of the
schooner and was caused by an over
heated stove igniting some of the wood
work. Smoke poured out Of the galley
hatchway and at first it looked like
serious fire. The crew went to work to
extinguish the flames and an alarm was
sent to the Pennsylvania fire depart
ment. They quickly responded, but the
crew had done such good work that their
services were not required.
The fire tug Belvidere also responded to
the alarm, but her presence was not
needed The damage to the schooner was
slight.

JUST A GRAB FOB FEES.

Coroner Greenleaf started an inquest
yesterday afternoon in the Court House
with view of fixing the responsibility
for the collision between the steamers st.
John and Catskll on September Is on the
North River, opposite Fifty-ninth street,
New York. Just where the coroner gets
jurisdiction is not quite clear, but he is
holding the inquest any way, because two
of the victims, Mrs. Mary Mcdonald and
her daughter, Miss Morris, lived in Gut
tenberg. The third victim, boy named
Berties Zimmerman, lived in Catslill, and
if the coroner there is as enterprising as
Coroner Greenleaf, the boy will be made
the subject of an inquest too.
The officers of the Catskill appeared
yesterday in response to the subpoenaes
and told their story of the disaster as
they had told it before and as it was
printed in the newspapers They laid
all the blame on the st. John. The in
quest will be Continued on Tuesday next
and Coroner Greenleaf expects the officers
of the St. John to come over and tell
their story.

DEMOCRATS IN BURLINGTON.
VIII Likely Name Farmer for SEM

Especial to ssThe Jersey City News.
BURLINGTON, Oct. 2. 1Ss7.-The Demo-
Gratis of Burlington will hold their county
convention today, at which will be nomi-
mated a candidate to battle with Joshua
B. Borton for a seat in the State Senate.
Borton is lawyer in Burlington and was
only nominated after fierce factional
fight. There were several other aspirants
for the Senatorial nomination on the Re-
publican ticket, and as a result the G. O..
p. in Burlington is in a badly disinte-
grated condition.
1t is very probable that the Democrats
will take advantage of the Republican
split and nominate a good farmer candi-
date at today's convention. The nomina-
tion is likely to go to J. Ballinger of
Hamesport, if he can be induced to ac-
cept. He stands very high in the agri-
cultural communities of his county, ana
would make good race.
There seems to be lack of interest in
affairs political on the part of the Repub-
lican farmers throughout the State They
were conspicuous by their absence on
Thursday at the fair and it is very evil
dent that they are red-hot against the
present Republican administration. The
agriculturists have Jared very badly at
the hands of the Republicans in every
way and no doubt will have revenge at
the polls.
1t is very probable that in Sussex coun-
ty the Democrats will name Col. Martin,
a well-known farmer, for the state SEN
ate. The Democrats count on carrying
Sussex this year, and Martin would no
doubt make good run.

MUST FAST TwBNTY-F0UR HOURS
Thieves Carry OF the Supplies Of the
TurboaG WetherIII.

Hugh Bradley and John O'Brien, two
mean thieves, were committed by Justice
Potts this morning. The prisoners are of
the class that are too healthy to work.
Last night they boarded the fugboat E.
S. Wetherill, which was lying at the foot
of Washington street and stole all the
provisions which had been bought for the
crew.
The Wetherill is engaged in towing mud
scows to sea. She is out anywhere from
twenty-four to thirty-six hours on each
trip Last night she had to go oe.+ and
the cook, owing to the threatening
weather laid in a larger supply than
usual Just as the boat had cast off the
discovery was made that the provisions
had been stolen. 1t was too late to re-
turn and the crew had to go to sea with
the prospect of having nothing to eat for
at least twenty-four hours and possibly
longer. =
Policeman Kavanaugh caught Bradley
and O'Brien with the stolen provisions an
hour after the tugboat had sailed.
The Wetherill's crew consists OF five
men They said they would try to get
along with the tobacco they possessed.

1t seems little strange to realize that
we have a midnight sun of our own.
.Going to see the midnight SUM- has for
so many years meant the tfap to the
North Cape that it gives ones geograph-
ical notions slight wrench TO turn them
from Norway to Alaska. and comprehend
that the Stars and Stripes that float
above the Klondike region are illumined
at midnight in June by a bright sum
shine as ever falls upon this part of
Uncle Sans possessions on a July noon
day The extension of the feeling of ma
tionalty which comes with the idea that
besides all else Uncle Sam has midnight
sun, too, is enough to confirm the Mon
roe doctrine in any vacillating heart. Our
country is not particularly well known
yet west of the Mississippi to most peo-
pie east of it, but the Alaskan gold fever
and the Hawaiian intentions have pro-
jeeted the thoughts of men beyond the
Pacific borders and made them know that
this Is truly. in a deeper than the Fourth
of Ju.v sense, "a great and glorious

which comes with a great attraction for
