Macon, Ca, September IA special
to the Telegraph from Valdosta, Ca,
says: Sam Parker, well known citizen
of Cecilent was killed at Fahira this
morning by Shelton Dampier. Parker

through Parker's heart, and he sank to
the ground without a word, dying in
stantly Turning to the marshal, Dampier

cHANpLER's PROCLAMATION.
Sees the Dawn of the Triumph of Inter-
national BimetalIism.

Boston, September Ex-senator VIM.
Chandler of New Hampshire, has given
the following letter to the Associated
Press:
ST appeal to all Republicans to meet
with joyous welcome the first step Eng
land may take towards bi-metallism. The
movement earnestly and zealously begun
by President Mckinley, in obedience to
the St. Louis platform, was. quickly joined
by the French ministry and the joint pro-
posals are being carefully and seriously
considered by the British cabinet, with
reasonable prospect that England will
reopen her Indian mints, will use silver
as part Of her bank reserve and otherwise
cordially aid in remonetization. Every
such indication should arouse friendly
feelings in the United States, four-fifths
of whose people, as well as nine-tenths of
the people of India, desire the bi-metailic
system, which SO much depends upon
English help. This is no time for dis
eliminating duties or denunciatory demon
strations against any European country,
nor should bankers alone assume to voice
American sentiment. I entreat BIZ
metallists everywhere to make themselves
heard against the selfish outcries Of the
engorged money lenders of New York and
Chicago and their subservient newspapers.

william H. Jeffrey Tells Old Orchard
People There Is Rum Sold in Portland
ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.l

Old Orchard, September 12.-At a
temperance meeting held in Willard hall,
at the camp ground today, William H.
jeffrey Of Portland gave an address in the
interest of the Washingtonian movement.
Incidentally he made some sweeping
charges regarding the non-enforcement of
the prohibitory law He declared that the
much boasted Maine liquor law is not,
never was and never will be successfully
and energetically enforced. Speaking of
Portland. he said: II once heard ven
erable worker in the cause say that there
is practically no liquor sold in the city
Of Portland. Let me say to you, and do
not wish to paint the picture too dark,
that / candidly believe there is as much
liquor sold in Portland per capita as in
any city in this country today 1t is sold
not only in open defiance Of law, but in
the most low and degraded places, and in
the most damnable way conceivable. 1t is
of hourly occurrence to see children, both
boys and girls, varying in age from six
to fifteen years, with pals, cans and
pitchers going as regularly as the busy
bee between the saloons and wretched
homes''
He charged the sheriffs of York and
Cumberland counties with not living UP
to their oaths of office and said there are
In these two counties more than 3o(
parties holding retail liquor dealers GER

urged the need of individual work IN

BOTH ROASTED TO DEATH.
Distressing Death Of Two Old Ladies
in Lynn.
OIL STOVE SET FIRE TO THE
CLOTHING OF ONE.

Flames Were Communicated to Other
Who Went to Her Sisters Assistance
Both Were Too Infirm to Fight the
Flames-They We're Over Eighty Years
| of Age.
| Lynn, Mass, September 1.-Two
maiden sisters, Miss Harriet G.. Sheldon,
81 years of age, and Miss Matilda Shell
don, Sc were burned to death this fore
noon at their home No. So Cedar street.
The old ladies, who lived in house by
themselves, were engaged in cooking with
a kerosene stove, when the latter tipped
over and the oil ran out and ignited. In
attempting to right the stove the burning
oil communicated to Matilda's clothes
and they were quickly ablaze Harriet
made a desperate attempt to extinguish
the fire and her clothing also caught. The
old ladies were both infirm and unable to
| fight the flames as younger persons could
have done, and they could do bat little
except to scream for assistance.
Charles Peabody, who lives in an ad-
joining house, heard their cries, and look
ing from his window, saw their terrible
predicament, and after alarming other
neighbors, he rushed to their aid. Before
he could reach them, Matilda had ran
through the house into the front room,
and thrown herself into an easy chair
with her clothing atiame and herself al
most roasted to death, and when Mr..
Peabody finally got to her side the poor
woman was dead.
On the floor in the kitchen lay the other
sister. suffering terribly from her burns.
The neighbors extinguished the flames in
very short time, and the woman was re-
moved to the hospital but she died during
the afternoon. The Sheldon sisters had
lived together in the same house all their
lives and their parents lived there for
years before them.
About fifty years ago, they conducted a
private school in which they gave tuition
to children of the best families in this
city.

SIX YELLOW FEVER GASES.
A Single New Orleans Street Has That
Many.

New Orleans, September 12.-Shortly
before noon today the board of health
officially declared six of the suspicious
cases of fever on St. Claude street to be
yellow fever A couple of hours subse-
quently the board announced another pro.
nounced case of yellow fever at Miro and
Esplanade streets, ,also in the lower part OF
| the city but a mile or more away from the
infected square. No general alarm has re-
| suited. The authorities are still confident
of their ability with. modern sanitary ap-
pliances to successfully quarantine the in
tested districts.
OF the original twelve cases, all of
which had their origin from case that
had come from Ocean Springs, the six
other than those reported today as yellow
fever were said this afternoon to be
practically we'll.
OF the six pronounced yellow fever, four
are convalescent and two were declared
to be critically i'll, one of these having
suffered relapse since yesterday.
Among the suspicious cases reported
yesterday was that of boy named Roy,
living at Miro and Esplanade streets.
Drs. Lemmonier, Touatre and Matas
were sent to make careful observation
of the case. This afternoon they pro-
nounced 1t to be unquestionably yellow
fever, and as having apparently had It's
origin in Scranton, Miss, or in the
vicinity OF that town. As soon as the re-
port was received the board Of health
took charge of the house, quarantined the
inmates, placed guards SO that no one
might come within close proximity to the
disinfect the neighborhood.
