Meeting of the Republican Club-The
Turnpike Question.


Correspondence of The Evening Star.
EVANSVILLE, Md, August 5, 1899.
A meeting of the Bladensburg Colored
Republican Club was held last evening, s.
Stubs acting president and J. Triplett as
secretary. The question as to the candi-
date to be voted for at the primaries was
brought UP and voted upon. Mr.. r. ii.
Vincent, who is an aspirant for sheriff and
Mr. H. B. Fowler. a candidate for states
attorney, were the two contending gentle
men. Mr.. Vincent received ten per cent of
the vote.
Considerable interest is being manifested
in this place regarding the boundary line
of the old Baltimore and Washington turn
pike, with reference to the rights of abut-
ting property owners. Some time since the
commissioners of this place attempted to
extend this roadbed at the corner of John
SON avenue in order to afford more room
for vehicles, made necessary by the con-
struction of the City and Suburban rail
way. They were opposed in this project by
Mr.. w. p. Magruder claiming title to the
land proposed to be included in the pike
AT meeting of the commissioners held
recently, their attorney, Mr.. ]. c. Rogers,
submitted an opinion, holding that the title
to that portion of the sixty-foot Washing
ton and Baltimore turnpike which has been
urinterruptedly occupied by the public for
the past twenty years has become the
property of the county commissioners, and
to all intentS and purposes is a county road
at present. The charter of the old Balti-
more and Washington Turnpike Company
was surrendered some time in the COS.
Mr.. Rogers states that upon the surrender
of the charter the land which was taken
for the turnpike purposes reverted to
the original owners or heirs. The owners
having allowed the public to use a portion
of their property for over twenty years
without offering any objections, and hav-
ing stood by and seen the county make
improvements on their property, they are
now estopped from claiming a right in said
land, and the road as at present establish
ed belongs to Prince Georges county. Mr..
Latimer, the county surveyor, also sub
mitted a report. in which he finds the orig
inal lines of the old turnpike are still in
tact several old fences and boundary
stones having been found by the surveyor
which agreed with the new lines run by
him.

WHEN THE FEVER CAME.
Effect of the Dread Now on the PeO-
pie of Hampton.

&C correspondence of The Evening Star
HAMPTON, Va, August 9, 1899.
The towns of Phoebus and Hampton, to-
gether with the Hampton N. and A. School,
are gradually recovering from the intense
excitement occasioned by the announce
ment that yellow jack had made it's ap-
pearance at Soldiers Home. Sunday, July
30, dawned bright and clear, the intense
humidity Of the atmosphere, which had
characterized the whole of the previous
week, being absent, and there was promise
of better weather. A terrific storm oc-
Cured about noon, and many visitors, who
had gone to Old Point and Buckroe Beach
to enjoy sea bath, were returning to their
homes when they were startled by the re-
fusai of the railway company to issue
transfers to Old Point. Intense excitement
prevailed when it was stated that several
deaths had occurred at the Soldiers Home
from what appeared to be yellow fever,
and that no one was allowed to cross the
bridge to Fort Monroe, at which point
boats for Washington, Baltimore and Nor
folk land Speculation as to the cause and
number of deaths was INDUCED in and many
statements largely exaggerated to the
number of deaths and the rapid spreading
of the disease were made
The example set by the commanding Off
Ger of Fort Monroe in cutting off the gov
eminent reservation from the towns was
quickly followed by MAJOR Moten, the COM
mandant of the Hampton n. and A. In
stitute. Hampton and Newport News
later established a quarantine. The meas
ures enforced by the latter towns has been
the subject of much criticism, especially
the patrol of Newport News.
The streets are being thoroughly cleaned
by large force of men. and lime is being
freely used in the cutters
While the exodus of visitors from the
city was at first great and furnished many
amusing incidents in the hurry and con-
fusion of such departures, calmness and
coclness now characterize the people.

The abundance of rain does not create
the discomfort in this cottaged hamlet that

the good old time; yet the patter upon the
shingles is a harmonious accompanim
