COLD FLOODED MURDER.
A Criminal Shoots Down His Prose-
cutor When They Meet.

MACON (Ga.), Sept. ia special to
the Telegraph from Valdosta, Ca,
says:
The story of the killing of Sam
Parker, a well-known citizen of Cecil
at Hahira this morning by Shelton
Dampier, shows it to have been one
of the blacklist crimes that has ever
stained the criminal annals of this
country. Parker was on his way to
church and had stopped on the street
to talk to some gentlemen, Dampier be-
ing in the crowd After few min
utes' conversation the crowd began to
break up and Parker. Dampier and
the Town Marshal were left alone
Dampier drew his pistol at this juno
ture, ard putting it against the bosom
of Parker, fired one shot The ball
passed through Parker's heart, and he
sank to the ground without a word
dying instantly. Turning to the Mar
shall, Dampier waved his pistol in his
face and defied him, threatening to kill
him if he moved. The desperate then
turned and made his escape. Every
effort will be made to capture him.
The cause of the tragedy is said to
date back three years. when Dampier
was prosecuted for stealing some meat
from Parker. Dampier was convicted
and sent to the chain gang. He swore
vengeance at the time, declaring he
would kill Parker on sight, and to-
day was the first time they had met

KLoNDIKERS RETURNING.
A Crime to Tempt Men to Try the
Skaguay Pass.

SEATTLE. Sept. 12.-The steamers
George E. Starr and City of Seattle ar
rived to-day from Skaguay Bay. The
Seattle left there last Tuesday at 1
a. m. Both steamers brought back
men who could not stand the trial of
White Pass. They gave up, and have
come south to winter, or will return
home.
Two of the schooner Moonlight's pas
sengers were on the Starr. They heard
of the impossible condition of the
Skaguay trail, and concluded there was
no show for them.
Captain Harry Struve of this city
spent thirty days in trying to get over
the summit, and failed. He went from
here with one of the best-equipped par
ties that have gone north, including
Mat and Jack Scurry, J. J. Madigan
and John Mather. They had ten
horses and about half a ton of provis-
ions pel man. After thirty days hard
work and the expenditure of a. large
amount of money, they succeeded in
getting their outfits to the ford, a river
just below the summit. Then they
gave it up and sold their outfits.
Captain Struve said to-day: cit is
crime to tempt men to try to go over
the Skaguay trail. There is no trail
there 1t cannot be described. You
cannot paint it black enough. I stored
my provisions and will try it again next
February. The Bond party will get
through all right, but it will cost them
$4,000 to get their outfit to the lakes
The party is headed by Marshal Bond
the son Of a wealthy Seattle man, who
is supplied with ample funds"

PORT TOWNSEND CWash), Sept.
12.-The steamer City of Seattle arrived
to-day five days from Skaguay.
Among the passengers are twelve men
who started for the Klondike, but fail
ed to cross the pass. a. c. Warner Of
Seattle, an artist who has been getting
views on both the Dyea and Skaguay
passes for the past week, was a re-
turning passenger on the Seattle. He
says the Skaguay Pass is closed for
the season, but that many are still
fioundering around in the mud in a
vain attempt to get through. The first
fourteen miles of the trail from Skag-
uay reach is strewn with the carcasses
of 600 horses.
Eleven saloons and three dance halls
are doing business there, but Warner
says there is no trouble, there being no
fighting or thieving. AT Dyea, the
people are still moving slowly forward,
although greatly impeded by mud and
rain With the exception of two days
rain has fallen there continuously for
three weeks. Collector of Customs Ivy
is doing a rushing business in the con-
fiscatiOn of whisky. He has thirty in
spectOrs on the beaches and trails, and
but little stuff gets through. Frank
Cain, a Canadian, was caught in a sloop
a few days ago with an 5000 stock OF
whisky The stock was seized and
Cain sent to the Juneau Jail. Whisky
sells at $50 per gallon at Lake Linder-
man. The Thorp party started across
from Mission to Yukon Valley a few
days ago with so head of cattle. They

A DISAPPOINTMENT.
Hospital Officials Had Hoped the
Fever Was Arrested.

WASHINGTON, Sept. i. - The
news from New Orleans announcing
that seven of the heretofore suspicious
cases there were yellow fever was a
disappointment and surprise to the
Marine Hospital officials, as it was
hoped that the disease had been ar
rested in its progress. DR.. Wyman
received word of the development of
the cases tonight from President Oil
phant of the State Board of Health.
Dr. Wyman has received a dispatch
from Surgeon Murray at Ocean Springs,
Miss, announcing that the detention
camp at Fontainbleau was surveyed
and the cars containing the outfit un-
loaded.
The President of the Mobile and Ala
bama State Board of Health in a dis
patch to DR.. Wyman says there are
no cases of fever there that are re-
garded as the least suspicious. The
weekly report of the Mobile Board of
Health shows twenty deaths from all
causes-two from fever (the character
of the fever is not stated.
To-day Surgeon Porter telegraphed
from Mobile that there were no cases
of yellow fever there nor were there
any that were suspicious.

THE NIAGARA AGROUND.
Lies Upon the Rocks OFF the Harbor
of Santiago de Cuba

HAVANA, Sept 12.-It was due to
the courtesy of Admiral Navarro, the
Spanish Naval Commander in Cuban
waters, that the representative of the
Associated Press here has been able to
obtain details from Santiago de Cuba
of the grounding on the Colorado
shoals, off the harbor Of Santiago de
Cuba, of the Ward Line steamship Nj
agara, Captain Crocker, from New
York, August 18th, via Nassau, on Au
gust 9th, for Guantanamo, Cienfue-
gos, etc.
1t appears that the Niagara was en-
tering the harbor at Santiago de Cuba
from Cienfuegos in ballast. The water
was smooth and the weather fine, but
owing to her fouling her rudder, on
account of currents, the steamer
grounded on a rocky bottom. The
Spanish gunboat Elstrella and the tug
boat Colon Immediately went to her
assistance and tried to pull her off, but
without success. The British steamer
Mameluke, a powerful vessel, made an
attempt to float the Niagara yesterday
morning, exhausting all efforts. But
although assisted by the Colon, it is
doubtful whether the Niagara can be
floated.
The pilot who was in charge of the
Niagara has been suspended by the
marine authorities until the exact
cause of the disaster can be ascer-
tanned.
The Niagara, according to latest re-
ports received here, is not leaking. Her
machinery still works well.
The Santiago passengers of the Nj
agara have been landed, and the 9TH
ers are on board.
The Captain of the port of Santiago
de Cuba considers the accident to the
Niagara. as serious, but believes with
the resources at the disposal of San
tiago Ge Cuba, the Niagara can be

THE ELIZA ANDERSON.
Reported Wrecked Near Kodiak
and All Hands Lost.

SEATTLE, Sept. 12.-Another story
of the wreck of the Eliza Anderson
reached this city to-day. 1t came on
the steamer George Starr. Captain
Harry Struve, one of the best-known
men in Seattle was a passenger on
the Starr from Skaguay Bay. AT Marys
Island he was told by the customs of
ficials there that a. schooner had touch
ed that port from Kodiak Island, re-
porting that the Eliza Anderson was
wrecked in the vicinity of Kodiak, with
all hands lost.
Captain Struve did not learn the
name Of the schooner which brought
the news. The statement was made
by the customs officer with apparent
truth.
The Anderson was last seen by the
tug Holyoke near Kodiak Island. She
was headed that way for fuel and to
get out of the way of the furious gale
that was blowing from the southeast.
While the story told by Captain Struve
may not establish the fact of the An
dersou's wreck, it gives rise to grave
fears for her safety.

April 10Th to June 10Th, four men took
out from No. 13 Ell Dorado from but
small part of the claim, a strip only
25x70 feet $42, ,62S and have recently
sold the claim for $40, 900. This is so
far the highest estimate got out of a
Klondike mine, nearly 100000.
'Of the lucky ones, Alex Mcdonald,

Bill Cottwell bought claim for 800

above bed rock, three or four inches
thick. The owners are taking out very
little because they can't do anything
with the cumbrous gold just now. On
another claim there are two holes and

What is the most gold you know to

'T can answer it with complete as
surance, for the principal owner of the
claim, Frank Densmore, told me of it
himself. 1t was ninety pounds of gold
in one day That is equal to some
thing like $4,000. The stories Of
lucky failures are extremely interest

not get it. He has just sold the same
half to ]. J. Healy for $4,000. Charles
Engel of New York City bought half
claim at Victoria for $15. A man
offered him $500 for it soon after. IF
he had offered $50, said Engel to me,
I should have taken it, but the larger
sum told me it was good to keep and I
have a good thing there There are
dozens of just such fortunate strikes

uniformly that the suspicious were
groundless. The force of physicians
attached to the Board of Health has
been largely increased, and the board
is in communication with every section
of the city. Acting Mayor Brittin and
the members of the conference met the
Board of Health to-day and discussed
the question of sanitation.
President Oliphant, soon after he got
the report of the experts to-day, wired
Governor Foster, who had requested to
be fully informed on the situation.
DR.. Oliphant also notified the rail-
road companies and others who had a
special interest in the situation
Acting Mayor Brittin has been on
duty throughout the day. He fears
some business injury of a temporary
nature will result from the announce
ment of the existence of thu seven
cases, but he does not think the harm
viii be permanent, or that anything
has happened to justify an exodus from
the city.
DR.. Lehman, who has been at Ocean
Springs for several days and is yell
low fever expert, has returned. He
says:
I went over to Ocean Springs to at
tend the poor who might be suffering
with yellow fever. After a most dill
gent search for any who might be suf-
fering with the disease, I made a num-
Der of calls. investigating the condi-
tion of the convalescents, and seeing
a few cases by courtesy of the attend
ing physicians, I concluded that as no
yellow fever existed, my duties were
over"
DR.. Lehman came direct from Ocean
Springs here, having, however to un-
dergo a thorough fumigation of his
clothes and effects. The Board of
Health here gave him the permission
to come here. AS there has since been
considerable inquiry as to the right of
a physician to come from an infected
without detention when the lay public
is refused permission, Secretary Pat
/ ton of the Board of Health when asked
( for statement, said:
1T is the invariable rule in yellow
fever epidemics to give the widest pos
sible latitude to physicians travelling.
oughly the scientific means usually
employed to destroy germs about their
person. in their clothes and among
their effects. Somebody with scientific
knowledge must attend the sick, and
if we are going to isolate the physi-
clans simply because they have been
in infected towns or in contact with
yellow fever patients, we might just
as well sit down, fold our hands and
let the plague have full swing"
The Board of Health official bulletin
tonight says: The Board of Experts
have to-day declared six of the twelve
cases previously reported as suspicious
to be yellow fever. Also, eha~ sour u
! these six cases are now convalescent.
/ The remaining six cases are of a type
so mild that they have all recovered.
/ A new case, the infectious origin of
which is traceable to Scranton, Miss,
and diagnosis as yellow fever, exists
here. Strict quarantine is maintained
