malls to tho newspapers which had
printed his demise. DR.. Franz Her
man Mueller. the second victim of the
deathly germs. when he scraped the
walls of BariSch's death chamber to
obtain bacci!li, knew perfectly we'll that
he would pay with his own life for his
untiring scientific research.
On his deathbed DR.. Mueller called
the attention of the attending physician
to the fact that his phlegm was full Of
baccilIl. He remarked with utmost
coOlness: Five days more and all will
be over with me-" AS no one was per-
mitted to approach the dying man. for
fear of contagion, his priest gave him
extreme unction symbolically through
tightly shut window.
The young physician who died in the
service of his profession had been ap-
pointed in 1897 by the Royal Academy
of Science to study the symptoms of
the bubonic plague in India. He return
ed short time ago in perfect health.

Washington Oct. 25.-The president.
Attorney General Griggs and Secretar-
les Long, Hay and Alger yesterday dis
cusSed several matters which he found
awaiting his attention on his arrival
from the west. A telegram from Cen
ommending that the limit of time al
lowed the Spaniards to evacuate Cuba
be extended from Dec. l to Jan. l. He
said that it would be physically im-
possible for the $4,000 Spanish troops
now on the island to leave before the
first of the year. and he regarded the
extension of time as reasonable and
just. After the matter had been dis
cllssed at some length an agreement
was reached and General Wade was
tclegraphed that his recommendation
was approved.
In tn" meantime, however. the Uni
ted States troops now in Cuba and
others to be dispatched will take pos
session Of the territory as fast as the
Spaniards vacate it, probably leaving
Havana until the last. In regard to
the reported purpose of the Spaniards
to dsmount and remove to Spain the
heavy ordnance Of the forts and ar
senalH about Havana. it was stated in
positive terms that nothing of the kind
would be permitted. and if the move
ment already had begun it would be
stopped at once.

GOVERNOR M'LAURIN SNUBBED.

Invited to Return Tome by Ore ofan
Audience which He Was Urging to
Respect the Law-Captured Negroes
Moved For safe Keeping.
Forest, Miss, oct. 25.-Elcven dead
negroes, one dead white man and one
negro and three white men seriously
wounded is the result at thi~Writing
Of the bloody war being waged between
the white and black races in the Har-
persvlle neighborhood of Scott county.
Several of the rioters have been cap
tured and lodged In Jail at Forest but
the others escaped into the swamps.
Large crowds of white men are in close
pursuit. however. and more names are
hourly expected to be added to the
death list
The following Is a partial list Of the
killed:
Backs-Fish Burke, J. f. Gatewood
Henry Anderson. John Gatewood
Hugh Anderson, Sim Haralson and Ben
Haralson. White-W. H. Sibley.
Wounded-Ned Pace. colored, and
James Hamilton, NJ. Johnson and John
Hamilton, white.
1t is impossible to obtain an accurate
list. for the reason that some of the
negroes were shot down in the woods
and hurriedy buried by the whites
where they fell A member of the
posse said he helped bury three negroes
in trenches, but neither himself or any
one in his crowd knew their names.
Governor McIlaurin went to Harpers-
vile sunday night and appealed to the
whites not to molest the prisoners in
the custody Of the sheriff. The gov
ernors talk had a good effect on the
majority of the crowd. but the hot
headed members did not relish the
governors interference, and told him
so In plain language. For instance. at
q point in the governors speech where
he was emphasizing the duty of every
citizen to aid in the enforcement of the
law one individual in the audience
shouted: Governor. during the recent
yellow fever epidemic, when your SER
vices at Jackson We're needed, you could
hot he found. Where were you then?
Now. when you are not needed, you
come to stick your nose in our busi-
ness. Go back to Brandon"
The governor paid no attention, but
continued his argument, and finally
persuaded the crowd to permit the
sheriff to take the prisoners to Jail.
Til" governor returned to Brandon yes
t. day. Sheriff Stephenson placed a
guard at the Forest Jail to prevent the
lyNChing of the rioters now in custody,
on account of open threats being made
here to storm the prison. Last night
the negroes under arrest made a full
confession. The funeral of the mur-
der'd officer, Sbley. occurred at Har-
polsviIl" yesterday and was attended
by hundreds of people. 1t is reported
that two Of the murdered mans BROTH
ors are on their way from their home
In TazOO county bound for the scene
of the race war. 1t was feared that
when they arrived a determined and
successful attempt would be made on
the Jail and all the rioters confined
there taken out and lynched Sheriff
Stephenson considered the situation so
serious last night that he decided to
take the prisoners to Meridian for safe
keeping. A large posse was organized
and the negroes were stealthiy placed
on the Q o'clOcl: train.

GENERAL MERRITT MARRIED.
khe Bride's Slight Illness Prevented
the Proposed Church Wedding.


the Proposed Church wedding.
London, Oct 25.--General Merritt and
Miss Williams We're married at 6 o'clock
last evening in the brides apartments
at the Savoy hotel. 1t had been plan
ned to have the ceremony take place In
st. Andrews church, Westminster, but
an illness which Miss Williams con-
tracted during the voyage necesstated
the simplest possible ceremony and the
avoidance of exertion and excitement.
Consequently only few most intimate
friends were present, including Henry
White, the United States charge daft
faires.
A less ostentatious wedding could
not be imagined. The general strolled
from the Metropole to the Savoy un-
attended, wearing a beaver hat, frock
coat and a white tie. The party gath
cred in the drawing room, which had
been beautficd with few flowers. The
Hon. and Rev. John Northcote, rector
Of st. Andrews, ofIiciated. The bride
entered on the arm of her brother, who
gave her away. Though looking ILL., the
bride stood throughout the ceremony,
and pronounced the responses in
strong voice.
For a time it was feared the brides
illness would develop into typhoid fe.
yer. In fact on Sunday it was thought
the wedding would have to be post
poned indefinitely, but Miss Williams
was SO improved yesterday morning
that 1t was decided at nooon not to
delay the wedding. but to abandon the
proposed ceremony in the church. Then
the red tape of English law threatened
to be another obstacle, but, thanks to
the friendly offices of Mr.. White, it
was overcome.
General and Mrs. Merritt will be able
to carry out their plan of going to
Paris at the end of the week. They
will proceed to the Philippine Islands
after th" adjournment of the peace
commission.
