A MENACE TO THE SOUTH.

A special to the Vicksburg
Herald dated New York, April
10, says;
In a report Of the board of
health this morning, DR.. Feeney,
chief sanitary inspector, sets
forth a frightful condition Of
things in regard to the handling
of second hand clothing and its
preparation for shipment to
Vieksburg, New Orleans, Mem
phis and other points in Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Lou
isiana and Texas. DR.. Feeney,
Friday and Saturday nights, vis-
tied several shops in Hesters
Bayard and Eldridge streets and
discovered that clothes taken
from the bodies of persons who
died from contagious and infec-
tious diseases were handled and
sold without the least compunc-
ton. Clothing taken from drowned
men is dried and then repaired in
these shops and sent south, where
it is sold in stores. DR.. Feeney
says that through these clothes
dis sases are communicated and
thatthe clothes are responsible for
epidemics in the south and always
for much sickness and death
among the poor of the commune
ties mentioned. Acting under or
ders of President Murphy, DR..
Feeney and several policemen of
the sanitary squad will raid the
places complained of. In one Of
the places complained of the shop
is used Saturdays as a syna-
gogue. Here is a part of DR..
Feeney's report: After refer
ring to piles Of the foulest SMELL
ing clothing" ready for shipment
to Mississippi and to Louisiana
the chief inspector says: "An
examination of these articles
showed that every one Of them
was extremely filthy; in many
cases they bore evidence Of hav-
ing at some time been deposited
on a manure heap while other
articles had suffered from situa-
ton to such an extent that they
must have been immersed in wa
ter for long periods Of time and
bore evidence Of the fact that
they had given their previous
owners long service. In fact,
many Of the. articles presented
the same appearance as the
clothing taken from dead persons
at the morgue after they had
been recovered from the river. In
view Of these facts, | would rec
ommend that the filthy clothing
found in these places be forth
with removed and fumigated. /
would also recommend that all
second hand clothing be submit-
ted to an examination before be-
ing sold by peddlers and manu-
facturers. =
The report is attracting much
attention here.

The trouble in Tangipahoa
parish, La, was terminated We'd
nesday when Otto and Monroe
Bamber, and Gage and Alexan-
der Gill, rode into Amite City
and voluntarily surrendered to
the sheriff. They were accom-
panied by relatives and friends
who signed the appearance and
peace bonds required and they
were released till the next term
of court eonvenes in that parish.
These boys are charged with
conspiracy, and were indicted at
the last term of court for intimi-
dating Superintendent Preston,
OF the Banner Lumber Company
at Kentwoo1, hut no doubt the
more serious charge Of lying in
wait and shooting at a train load
of people on that company 8 log
railroad will be filed against them
to be investigated by the grand
jury at the next term Of court.
The search for these young
men began Monday week, and
was brought about by the at
tempt to assassinate William Nc
Gehee, an employe Of the Ban
ner Lumber Co., although it is
not believed that they had any
thing to do with the shooting Of
McGehee.
The train on the Banner Lum-
Der company's road, that brought
the wounded man, as well as the
officers and posses TO Kentwood
Monday evening was fired into
about dark by some unknown
persons who had a little while
before that time, fired upon three
young men who we're walking on
the railroad track. Mr.. ". j.
Andrews, of this place, was
aboard the train with his pack Of
blood hounds, and after the
smoke Of battle was over, placed
the dogs on the track. and it is
said they followed the trail to the
homes Of these parties. The posse
followed the dogs to the houses,
but did not enter thinking 1t best
to return the next morning and
make the arrest. AS might have
been expected, when they went
back the alleged guilty parties
could not be found, and so the
search continued from day to day
till Wednesday last-coyering a
period Of eight days and nights.

John Danz, butcher, was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Detective Cody and
charged with grand larceny.
For some time past numerous COM
plants have been made to the police
concerning the bold operations of a gang
of "rustlers," who have been stealing
cattle from various ranches on the San
Bruno road. On January "A last John
Tischen, who has a ranch near the Five
mile house, found that twenty-seven head
of cattle had been driven off by the gang.
After considerable trouble he found the
stolen cattle in the public pound, where
they had been taken by the gang. Their
scheme was to raid a ranch, and after
getting away with all the available cat
tie they would drive them to the pound
After waiting several days. and in case
the cattle had not been claimed by the
owner they would visit the pound, and,
after identifying the cattle as their own,
them off. 1t is claimed that they would
then herd them into some convenient cor
raj. where they would be held until the
gang managed to dispose of them 1t
happened that Tischen visited the pound
and at once recognized his cattle.
He was compelled to pay $40 for their

police headquarters and Informed Captain
Bohen of his suspicious
Bohen detailed Detective Cody on the
case, and after a thorough investiga-
ton he became convinced that Danz had
bought the cattle from the gang. Yester-
day he found Danz on the San Bruno
road and placed him under arrest. He
was taken to the City Prison, where he
was booked on a charge of grand lar
ceny. On February Tischen had six of
his best cows stolen and he lost no time
in notifying the police After consider
able trouble Detective Cody found the
carcasses in Danes shop. where they had
been sold to him for 500. He claimed
that some stranger, who was on horse
back, sold him the cattle. and he, after
killing them, arranged with butcher
named Stone, who has a shop on Sixth
street, to buy them. The police are sat
isfied that an organized gang of rust
lers' have been stealing cattle, and to-
day efforts will be made to apprehend

DREYFUS CASE WAS QUOTED

When Antonio Sclafina fell dead on
Fisnermen's wharf a few brief months
ago, his body riddled with bullets. he was
a martyr alone to his own lust for blood.

sel-oefense and yesterday afternoon,
after brief elaboration, the Jury i'm
paheled to try his case set him free
mat he was. innocent of willful murder
none doubted, but the way of the h. "
must be observed and he was placed on
trial. Special counsel for the prosecution
was employed. and Assistant District At
torney Soloman made strenuous efforts
TO convict him, but without avail.
The close of the case was dramatic. A
squad of deputy sheriffs formed around
the prisoner when the jury filed in to an
nounce its verdict. and after it had been
home.
Indelegado's life is in danger. He has
been threatened by friends of the dead
man, and those who know the nature of
his enemies say they will follow him to
the end of the earth to avenge the death
of Antonio Sclafina
Yesterday the days proceedings were
taken up in argument. Eugene Bert, spe-
cial counsel for the prosecution made the
the defense followed, and Reel B. Terry,
of counsel for the defense, came next.
Mr. Terry made sharp analysis of the
evidence and his reply to the thrusts of
the prosecution won half the battle The
wife of the prisoner had supported him
during the ordeal and this was the cause
of comment from the prosecution.
When her mother, the mother of the
dead man, took the stand she referred
to the daughter as a traitor This was
seized upon by the prosecution as a point
but Terry. in his argument, turned the
thrust to the benefit of his client by re-
ferring to the loyalty of Madame Dreyfus
to her husband, standing by him in the
face of all the world.

bill for this week Not in many a day has
there been an acrobatic act of the COM
edy order at the Orpheum that can COM
pare with that of the Schrode brothers,
who come from the Winter Garden, Ber-
lin. Not only is their acrobatc work
good, but the clownng, too often the
weak point in such acts. is of the very
best and really funny. Professor Macart
with his troop of trained dogs and mon
keys scored a big hit, and well he might,
for this is one of the best and the funniest
acts of its kind that has. ever been seen
here. The dogs are trained to waltz, do
skirt dances and lots of other interesting
things, while the monkeys ride bicycles
and act as propertymen. bringing on and
carrying off all the properties used in
the act. Slime and Evans, in a laughable
sketch entitled "A Frisky Doctor" are

ent Board of Supervisors to make way
for a new favorite. AS Mrs. Walsh is
the mother of three children and support
ed them out OF her earnings as an en-
ploye of the municipality. her decapita-
ton has been a severe blow to her. For
the past twelve months she has looked
after the female prisoners entrusted to
her care in the gloomy and chilly base
ment of the City Hall. During all that
time she gave entire satisfaction to
those who were her immediate superiors
but through the election of a new board
the poor woman lost her means of live
