BARRING OUT FEVER.
Health Inspector Benjamin's
Precautions Regarding
Troops En- Route.

Health Inspector Benjamin has re-
ouested the Pennsylvania Railroad off,
cials that all troops from the South who
are sick be hurried at once in the cars in
which they arrive. aboard the floats which
take them to Long Island or to the hos
pital. Inspector Benjamin is very much
afraid that fever germs may be scattered
abroad in Jersey City and cause an epf-
demic. He Is taking great pains to pre-
vent any such catastrophe.
So far as is known nothing has been
done thus far thai would endanger the
health of the people of Jersey City The
greatest pains have been taken in the
handling of the troops. No visitors have
been allowed to visit the cars in which
the sick soldiers have been kept. AS far
as possible the sick have been kept
isolated, whether they were known to
have fever or not. The surgeons accom-
panying the troopers lave eo-operated
with the railroad and local authorities in
this respect.
Health Inspector Benjamin has had a
sanitary officer stationed in the railroad
yard at the foot of Bay street continually
since the troops began to arrive from the
south. This officer has seen to it that
every precaution to secure the health OF
the people has been taken. He has in
sisted that the railroad yard be thorough
ly cleaned and f~umigated after arrival of
each train. The trains that have been
vacated by the soldiers have also been
thoroughly fumigated before leaving the
wards to return South.

REID THINKS OF HIS SOUL
But viii Not Commit Himself
to Re .5entance Until Sure
He Must Hang.

William Reid, who is under sentence OF
death for the murder of Andrew Henry,
in Hoboken, has become impressed with
the idea thai he ought to have some relig-
ious consolation. Learning that Rather
Thomas Moran of st. Josephss Church
has been visiting the murderers who are
confined to the County Jail, Reid ex-
pressed a desire a few days g TO have
the priest call on him.
Reid is not a Catholic; in fact, he does
not profess any religion, but when Father
Moran was informed that the murderer
was DESTROYS of seeing him he sent a
note to Reid saying that he would call
on him if he desired it.
Reid sent word back that he would be
pleased to see Father Moran, and the
priest has made two or three visits to the
condemned man.. Religious topics were
not discussed. Reid is not DESTROYS OF
protesting any religion until he learns
what prospect there is of having his con
viction set aside. He is waiting to hear
from his counsel whether they propose TO
carry his case up.
If the worst comes to the worst Reid
will probably embrace the Catholic
faith

1t may not generally be known that
for many years the general Government
has conducted a savings bank for the ac-
commodation of certain citizens. An act
of Congress of the date OF May Is, 1872,
provides that any soldier in the army may
deposit with any payrnaster his savings
in sums not less than s., and it shall be
the duty OF the p~aymaster to supply the
soldier with a deposit book in which are
entered the amounts of his deposits.
When the deposits have reached the sum
of $50 the Government is required to pay
the depositor interest at the rate of four
per cent. per annum. Having once de-
posted a sum OF money the depositor is
not permitted to draw 1t until the date
of his discharge The deposits are ex-
empt from attachment for debt, but they
forfeit testhe Government if the depositor
deserts from the army. The Government
assumes the responsibility for all such de-
posts and a defaulting paymaster can
work the soldiers M injury. Paymaster
Fucker once told the writer a about
thirty per cent of the enlisted men in the

CAMDEN, Aug. u, 1s9s.-United States
Senator William +. Sewell, whose ex-

and a legislator. together with his close
personal relations with President Nc

affairs entitled TO high consideration, was
asked at his Office yesterday to give his

FERRYB0AT IN COLLISION.
Panic Among Passengers When the
Atlantic Was Struck.

NEW YORK, Aug. Il, 1S9S.-The South
Ferry boat Atlantic, when crossing from
Atlantic street, Brooklyn, TO the Battery,
about $40 this morning. heavily crowded
with passengers, was struck just off the
Battery, by Starin's steam lighter Mid
dlesex, bound from Pier Is. North River,
for somewhere up East River.
The Atlantic had joiner work consider
ably smashed on the port side aft and
the Middlesex's bow was badly stove.
There was a good deal of excitement
among the passengers on the ~ferryboat,
but no one was hurt and the ferry slip
was reached safely. with very little loss
of time. III ferryboat will be hauled
of for repairs.
The Middlesex proceeded to some dock
on East River.
When the collision occurred the ferry
boat was nearing her Slip. there were
many craft passing just at the time and
both boats were moving slowly. 1t Is
supposed that the collision happened from
tain thinking that the Atlantic was NOV
ing fast enough for the Middlesex to pass
astern.

A SOCIAL QUARREL.
TwelfthWa Improvement Associa-
ton at Skies and Sevens


The bad blood that has heretofore ex-
listed between the Socialists and the anti
Socialists of the Twelfth Ward Improve
ment Association. manifested itself last
night. There were only about fifteen mem-
bers present at the associations regular
meeting.
II was openly charged by the anti-So-
~cialists that the Socialistic element was.
hampering the association in its work.
There are many Socialists in the
Twelfth Ward. President Hoelz, of the.
Improvement Association. is an anti-So-
cialist. The Secretary, Carl Pankopf,
ran on the Socialists ticket for Alderman
at the last election. Though defeated,
ne carried at least one precinct by a large
majority.
At the meeting of the Improvement AS
ISOLATION last night a s~quabble first occur
red over the location Of a site for the
proposed new fire house. Chairman
Bugaseh Of the Fire House Committee,
an anti-Socialist, wanted the committee
to be empowered to recommend a suitable
site to the Fire Board without referring
the matter to the association.
If the action of the committee, he ar
eued. was anticipated it would have a
ltiilCiiGg ~ ttSl NooC tllC - - ~ 49, l'fOt
of land selected. Some of the members
wanted the proposed new fire house To-
Gated on the slope of the hill. Others
wanted it located on the Boulevard, some
where in the neighborhood of zabriskie
street. The matter was finally settled by
leaving it to the committee to select and
suggest to the Fire Commissioners a
suitable site for the house.
During the argument Chairman
Bugasch, of the committee, said he had
been threatened by the Socialistie ele-
ment of the association with being thrown
out of 3 window. He said there was a
certain political undercurrent in the af-
fairs in the association that was handi-
Gaping the associations work n which
accounted for usual slim attendance. He
referred to the Socialists.
Secretary Pankroff denied that the So
cialists were attempting to exert their po-
lltical influence in the associations at
fairs.
President Holz took a and in the argu-
ment. and he recalled the fact that the
Socialistic element had made an attempt
to AXE the power of appointing commit
teese out of the hands of the president.
This effort was made at the last meeting
and was defeated.

WHY WHISTLES SCREAMED
Flag Raising in the P. r. r.
Creates Great Excitement
in the City.


There was great excitement in lower
Jersey City shortly before noon hour this
morning. Suddenly, without any warning
the whistle on each engine of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, which was in the yards
began footing its loudest, and the shrill
blasts Of the factory whistles were added
to the din. Thousands of persons came
hocking out of the buildings on Montgon-
cry street and the adjacent thoroughfares
to see what was the trouble. Such a din
is seldom heard in Jersey City, unless
there is a big fire on the river front.
Anxious crowds ran in the direction Of the
ferry fearing some great catastrophe.
Small boys believed that 1t could mean
nothing else but the sudden arrival of
Teddy Roosevelt, commander Of the
Rough Riders. they have been yelling
themselves hoarse over during the last
week.
Crowds locked to the western end Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad shed, which
seemed to be the point from which the
racket started. There they found that
the cause of the excitement was not a hre
or the arrival of Roosevelt, but the raising
of a flag by the car inspectors and car
cleaners of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
A crowd of the employees of the railroad
among whom were mingled a number OF
Rough Riders who had leave for a few
hours, We're gathered around the Tag
staff, which lowered eighty feet In the
air. and from which foated a flag 20 by S6
feet. They all cheered loudly despite the
fact that their voices were drowned by
tha din of the whistles.
The flag was bought by the car inspec-
tors and car cleaners, and the pole was
donated by Superintendent Brooks. me
halyard was pulled by Calvin Parker
foreman of the car inspectors.

Great Excitement in the
Neighborhood-
A MENACE FOR MANY MONTHS

An unusual accident, in which five peo-
pie were injured, one probably fatally, oc-
CURED at s.15 O'Clock this morning., in Ho-
boken and created considerable excite
ment in the big tenement district in
which it occurred. A clothes pole, thirty
feet in length, and weighing about nan
a ton. fell on a stoop filed with women
and children, crushing them like egg
shells.
TIL injured and their injuries are:-
HELEN DIscH, five years old, skull
fractured, will probably die.
WILLIAM DIsCH. eight years old, bad
" lacerated scalp, and confused wounds,
condition serious.
mis-. DIscH, severe injuries about the
head
LILLE DIscH, twelve years old, Sc
we're injuries about the head.
ABRAHAM SCHWARTZ. five years
old, back broken.
The accident occurred at No. 1862 Newark
street. This is a big rear tenement
house. with a yard IN front. In the front
OF the yard was located the clothes pole.
1t has been there for almost a quarter
of a century, and of late has been no.
ficed to sway violently in wind and rain
storms.
The recent stormy spell had its effect
on this pole, ana although it bent con-
s~iderably during the past few days no
one thought that there was any immedi-
ate danger of it falling.
This morning. about 9:l5 o'clock, Mrs.
Disch and the children named above were
seated on the front stoop enjoying a
breathing spell, when suddenly there was
a loud report, not unlike a pistol shot,
and the clothes pole broke neal its base.
Mrs. Disch gave a cry and grabbing
Helen, her youngest child, started to leave
the stoop. She was too late, the pole
falling with crushing force and striking
everyone on the stoop.
The news of the accident spread quickly
and soon a great crowd gathered in front
of the house. DR.. Drasel who lives near
by, was ummoned. A dozen strong men
lifted the blood-clotted pole from the in
animate forms of the woman and chill
dren. and DR.. Drasel administered to the
wounded.
He found that the most seriously hurt
were William Disch and Helen Disch and
advised their immediate removal to st.
Mary's Hospital. A hurry cali was sent
TO Police Headquarters for IN ambulance
and the two Disch children were at once
removed to the hospital. There it was
found that Helen's skull had been frac-
tured and that she is likely to die. Will
liam is also very badly injured.
The others are being cared for by DR.,
Drasel and he hopes to PUN them through.

He Takes OF His Hat as the Rail-

John Sherman, ex-United States Sena-
tor. ex-Secretary Of State and ex-candi-
date for President, was in the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad station this morning for
an hour and there was none so poor to
do him reverence. He attracted no more
attention than any other long, lank six
footer and not over a dozen knew who
he was. When the whistles set up their
unearthly din as the flag, purchased by
the car cleaners, was run up to the mast
head, the great Ohioan stepped out of the
waiting room and asked what all The
noise meant. A gentleman pointed out to
him the flag slowly climbing the pole and
the great statesman instantly took off his
hat. Mr.. Sherman took luncheon in the
depot restaurant and left for Washington
on the LIZ train.

P-reparing for the Fight.

M. Wilson, manager and secretary of the

ing that hi would continue to make prep
arations for the Corbett-McCoy contest
regardless of the result of the ministers
meeting yesterday, at which a letter was
read from the Sheriff declaring his inten-
ton to stop the fight.
He said tina he anticipated just such a
fuss and had secured the best legal advice
in New York and this city and in not
in one instance has the club violated a
law it does not intend to violate any.
He says that the. question has been
be foolish enough to light the case over
again. The only harm that can come
to the club is that a few out-of-town peo-
pie may be scared away. No effort will
be made to evade the law. 1t is not
necessary, Mr.. Wilson says
