SICKNESS AT MEADE.
Patients Will Be Removed to Hos
pitals-Teamster OVerWorked.

Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa, Sept
1S-Fifteen typhoid fever cases were
shipped from the second division hos
pital this evening to the Charity hos
pital, Norristown, in a special car
The patients were from the Two Hun
dred and One and Two Hundred and
Two New York Fourth Missouri, First
Rhode Island and Second West V1r-
ginia regiments. Chief Surgeon Girard
believes the sick do better in hospitals
than in tents and arranged to ship
more away tomorrow TO Harrisburg
and Philadelphia hospitals. There are
175 fever and rheumatism patients in
the hospitals and they will be taken
as rapidly as they can be moved.
Private Biston d. Danto, company K,
Third New York, died in the Red Cross
hospital today of typhoid fever and
his body was shipped to Wellsville.
Corporal Samuel Crager, company II,
Second Tennessee, also died of conges-
tive chillS at the regimental dlSpenSary,
after a brief illness.
Detailed reports have been received
by Colonel GiraTd from the various
regimental surgeons on the health of
their regiments. They report very few
malarial cases and in the regiments
where this malady has been greatest
it is on the decrease. Most of the
cases of typhoid fever and malaria
have been brought here from the
camps in the south and Camp Black,
N. Y.
Colonel Abbott of the First Rhode
Island, is seriously i'll with typhoid
fever at the home of a friend in Middle
town.
Chief Quartermaster Hewards says
the Seventh Ohio, which has received
orders to muster out, can hardly get
away before Thursday. This will COM
plete, for a while, at least, the move
ment of troops from camp. There is a
strong probability that the Fourteenth
Pennsylvania will be the next regiment
to receive orders to muster out, on ac-
count of the trouble among the Of
.cers.
The following medical officers have
been detailed as brigade surgeons:
First Division, First Brigade-D. A.
Rannells, Seventh Ohio.
Second Brigade-A. NJ. c. Johnston,
Fourteenth Pennsylvania; Third brig

The camp has become scattered, so
that scores of army teams have been
forced to work Is hours a day. The
long hours are telling on the health of
the teamsters and Colonel Howard
has asked the war department for rs
additional teams. He was advised to-

CAPTAIN cAPRoN DEAD.
Well-known Army officer Succumbs
to Typhoid Fever.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Captain Allyn
Capron, First artillery, died at his
home near Fort Myer, Va, today.
Captain Capron was one of the best
known officers in the regular army. He
had devoted himself particularly to
the artillery branch of the service,
having been an honor graduate of the
artillery school in 1878, and was re-
garded as an authority on artillery
tactics. When General Skaters corps
went to Santiago, Capron accompanied
it and his battery did notably fine work
in the battle of Santiago. During the
first days fighting before the city, Cap
tain Caprons son, Captain Allyn K.
Capron of the rough riders, was killed.
The death of his son preyed upon the
fathers mind, but he meyer swerved
for an instant from his duty during
the terrible days that followed. The
seeds of disease were sown in his SyS-
tenn during the Cuban campaign, and
he returned to his home at Fort Meyer,
near this city, only to be stricken down
with typhoid fever. His death occurred
about II o'clock today.
Captain Capron was born in Florida
and entered the military academy as a
cadet in 1863. After graduating he was
made a second lieutenant of the First
artillery on the 18th of June, 1857, and
was an officer of that regiment until
his death. He was commissioned as
captain on Dec. 4, 1888.
1t is probable that Captain Capron
will be buried in. Arlington National
cemetery, but no definite arrangements
for his funeral have yet been made.

LOVE, JEALOUSY AND MURDER.
Rejected Suitor Killed By His Sue
cuessful Rival In Idaho.

Boise, Ida. Sept 1S.-Maddened by
jealousy, Enos Smith shot and killed
George Rice at Salmon Meadows last
Tuesday
Smith and Rice were rivals for the hand
and heart of Miss Della Clark of Mead
ows. After a period of courtship. which
proved as bitter as it was jealous, Miss
Clark bestowed her affections upon Smith
and few weeks ago the couple were mar
ried.
During the time Rice was counting the
young lady he became possessed of a
couple of her photographs, and after the
unsuccessful termination of his suit he at
tached the pictures to his bride and in
this manner the likeness of Smiths wife
was displayed about the country.
Smith learned of Ric6s action and was
furious. The men met in Jones ''Skog-
saas' saloon at Meadows and after
brief alteration decided to go outside and
have it out. They walked to the rear and
a few seconds later a shot was heard.
People rushed to the scene and saw Rice
writhing in death agony on the ground
Smith standing over him with a smoking
revolver. 1t was not stated whether Rice
was armed or not
Smith gave himself up and as there was
a good deal of bad feeling over the shoot
ing. the constable, fearful of a lynching
deemed it wise to take his prisoner to
Weiser at once and lodge him in the
county Jail.

WILL WELCOME THE SIXTH.
Famous Regiment of Regulars to Re-
turn to Fort Thomas.

Cincinnati, Sept. 1S.-The most elab-
crate arrangements have been made for
the reception of the Sixth infantry on
its return to Fort Thomas tomorrow.
Members of the chamber of commerce
and others went to Parkersburg today
to meet the regiment at the state line.
This regiment was one of the first
called out, and it suffered the most
severe losses. Colonel Cochran was
retired soon after the regiment reached
Tampa, and Lieutenant Colonel Egbert
succeeded. When the regiment was cut
to pieces at Santiago, Colonel Egbert
was shot through the lungs, and now
the regiment returns with Major Miner
commanding. Colonel Egbert is here,
anXiously awaiting the regiment
OF the 4S3 who went with this regi-
ment in April less than $50 return. The
regiment has been recruited, so that
490 are now in line. Fifty members of
the regiment are in the Fort Thomas
hospitals and some are away on fur
loughs, but many were buried in Cuba
AS now Fort Thomas is occupied by
hospitals, the regiment will camp on
adjoining territory on the site where
the Union troops camped under Gen
eral Green Clay Simth when General
Kirby Smith marched through Ken
lucky in his raid on Cincinnati 35 years
ago.

CONDITION OF CAVALRY.
Regiments Will Remain at Montauk
Sixteenth Infantry Moved.

Camp Wikoff. Sept. 1S.-The deaths
at Camp Wikoff today were as follows:
T. Carl, corporal company G, Twenty
third infantry; Benjamin Badgeley,
Fourth infantry; George Garrett,
Twenty-fourth infantry; L. Larter,
teamster Third cavalry.
A soldier named Clark, unidentified
as to regiment. was brought to the
hospital last night in an unconscious
condition. He died today.
Things We're quiet at the camp to-
day. A conference was held at Gen
eral Wheeler's headquarters, at which
the colonies of the cavalry division
We're present. Views were exchanged
on the question of the removal of the
troops to a new camp in the south,
prior to their transportation to Cuba,
and all those present were of the
opinion that it would be better for their
commands to remain at Montauk until
the government is ready to ship them
to Cuba. The men are now reported
to be in as good condition in a gen.
eral way as when they left their posts
last spring to mobilize for the cam
paign. General Wheeler will make a
report to General Corbin, endorsing this
view ot the case.
The transport Berlin sailed this after
noon, but it is thought she is still off
the coast not far from Montauk Point
on account of fog. On board the Berlin
are the First, Second, Eighth and Six
teenth infantry, bound for the Alabama
camp. None of the other transports
got away tonight.

Blanco's orders last week. The letter
was sent in four pieces, to elude atten-
ton in the mails. Among other things
it says:
Large basins were placed about on

made of beans. rice and sometimes a
piece of meat cooked with it. This was
dipped into smaller pans, one pan to

"A mother with six children occupied
two cots. Three Of the smaller children
10 years old, lay painting for life; three
young girls, so swollen about the body
and limbs they could not move-all
these and more waiting to die Several
elderly women We're among them. AL
together the sight was frightful.''
OF a small child, the writer says:
''The face was skin over the little
bones. Such eyes-oh, that picture!
The mother was in the same condition,
while tears ran down her face. We
turned and followed them. Later I
asked her some questions, through the
interpreter. Her story is beyond con-
ception-too cruel TO be published and
sent into homes among children"

WINNIE DAVIS PASSES AWAY
DAUGHTER OF THE CGNFEDER-
ACY Is DEAD.
Stricken By Fatal Malady at Mar
ragansett Pier - Her Sufferings
Have Been Intense.

Narragansett Pier, r. l., Sept. 1S.-
Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs.
jefferson Davis, died at noon today at
the Rockingham hotel, to which place
she came as a guest in the early part
of the Piers season. She had been Ill
for several weeks, and a fortnight ago
her ailment was diagnosed as malarial
gastritis. At times her condition be-
came very serious, so that consulta-
tions of physicians were deemed neces-
sary; but the frequent rallies gave
hope that she would ultimately recov-
er. During the past week esJeclally
was her condition considered favorable,
and it was thought her removal from
the hotel would be possible in a few
days, as the hotel had closed for the
season, leaving the patient and at
tendants practically alone in the house.
Last night, however, relapse in Miss
Davis condition was noticed, and
throughout the night she lost strength
perceptibly. This morning the physi-
clans said that the end was not far off,
and at noon death came to end the
suffering, which at times had been in
tense. Mrs. Davis had watched un-
remittingly at her daughters bedside,
and she is now bowed with sorrow.
The physicians of Mrs. Davis report
ness in her affiiction, and no fears are
at present entertained of her health
yielding to the strain.
Miss Winnie Davis, the Daughter, of
the Confederacy," was born in the con-
federate executive mansion at Rich
mond, Va, in 1868. She was educated
principally at home, owing to the
troubles surrounding her father and
the publicity which attended all the
movements of the Davis family. Miss
Davis attained her maturity at Beau
voir, Miss. Here she assisted her
mother in various ways, and took her
place in the many social functions of
the place. She was her fathers con-
slant companion. She assisted him in
all his work, and much of the infor-
nation which was required by Mr.. Da-
Wis in his writings was secured from
his daughter Her strong character
was marked from youth She was en-
gagged to Mr. Wilkerson of Syracuse. N.
Y, but shortly after her fathers death
the engagement was broken off. While
no public explanation of the rupture
was given, it is well known that it was
for the purpose of maintaining her
fathers name. She received the name
Daughter of the Confederacy'' in 1886,
when her father made his famous trip
through the south. Mr.. Davis being
unable to appear, Miss Winnie was
brought before the thousands at the
different points along the route, and
introduced as the Daughter of the
Confederacy."

THE EMPERoR's GRATITUDE.
Austrian Ruler Thanks the People
For Their Sympathy.

Vienna, Sept. 1S.-A rescript of the
emperor to Count Won Thunn Hohen-
stein, president of the Austrian council
of ministers, was published today, ex-
pressing in eloquent and pathetic Ian
guage the emperor's thanks for the ex-
pressions of national sympathy with
him in mis- great bereavement. In the
course of the rescript, his majesty says:
THE numbering hand, the instrument
of frenzied fanaticism, aiming at the
destruction of existing social order,
which was raised against the noblest
of women in blind and purpoSeless hate,
struck a. heart whicsl knew not hate
and beat only for good In the unmeas-
ured grief by which I and my house
are stricken, and in the presence Of the
unheard of deed which has sent a shud-
der through the whole civilized world,
the voice of my beloved people first
brings balm to my heart in affecting
unison with the resound of universal
lamentation for our immeasurable loss,
like a faithful echo of all that moves
my own soul. From my deeply sorrow
ing heart, I thank all for this new
pledge of devoted sympathy. If the
festive peals which should have greeted
this wear should remain dumb, there yet
remains to me the memory of innumer-
able proofs of loyalty and deep SYM
pathy, the most precious gift which
could have been bestowed upon me.
Our common grief weaves a new
and intimate bond between the throne
and the fatherland."
