Popular Pensions.

OF course this suggested dole to the

that the exchequer should be helped in
this matter of pensions by 5-shiIling duty

tectionists, we might get money 10 make

HOUSE BUR6LARIZED.
Valuable Household Articles Stolen
From A. H. Holiness House Dur
ino His Absence in Mexico.

During the absence of A. b. Holmes,
of this city, who has been in Mexico
looking after some valuable mining
properties, his home at 719 Myrtle ave-
nue. was entered by thieves and a great
many valuable household articles stol-
en- and destroyed. Pieces of furniture
were taken off, and 80 thorough was
the work of the thieves that they did
not even overlook the top of the large
steel range in the kitchen.
The brass gas jets we're removed
from the walls and the large chande-
lier in the parlor was broken beyond
repair. To make the job complete the
panes of glass in nearly all the win
dows of the house were broken out and
the door bell was taken of also.
Mr.. Holmes made search among
the different second hand stores in the
city for the stolen goods and only sue
ceeded in recovering a pistol that had
been taken. The police have not as
yet any clew to the thieves.

pU6ILISTIC CONTEST.
Mexican Lad No Match For Stall
Wart Negro Boy.

A regular knock down and drag out
pugilistic encounter occurred in The
custom house yard back of the post
Office Sunday morning between negro
and Mexican and was witnessed by q
throng Of delig hted spectators.
Both boys we're game, but the negro
soon demonstrated that he was more
accustomed to using his fists as weap-
ons and had little difficulty in landing
again and again on the Mexican's face.
Edgar Campbell came out on the Gus
tom house porch and refereed the fight,
which lasted Is minutes. He finally
awarded the belt to the negro, who
was highly elated over his victory. He
escaped without a scratch, but the
Mexican boys face resembled a piece
of raw beef where it had been bruised
by til e Kpuckles Of the negro. Strange
to say neither combatant was knocked
down during the progress of the fight.

BRILLIANTLY LIGHTED
The Orndorff Hotel Is Now Equip
ped With One of Captain Met
CaIf's ACety1ene Gas Plants
Which Supplies More Than ESQ
Burners at Half the Cost of
OrdinaryICOal Gds.-The Plant
GIVING Perfect Satisfaction.


Aeetylene gas is fast coming into
every day usage and Ell Paso is not be.
hind in adopting innovations.
Captain @. w. Metcalf, of California,
has patented one of the few acetylene
gas generators and reservoirs which a. e
considered safe by the underwriters
ands which do not prejudice the in
surance.
One of these machines has been pur-
chased by the Orndorff hotel at a cost
of 500 to supply its 250>jets with gas,
and now the hotel is lighted from the
top story to the basement with lights
more brilliant than those made by cleo
tricity and cheaper by half than those
produced by common coal gas.
The plant has been in operation
since July IA, and has given perfect
satisfaction up to date. 1t was put in
by the inventor, Captain Metcalf, and
audpurchased in Ell Paso. Nothing was
bought outside this city, but the car
bide, which had to be ordered else
where.
The insurance companies require
that the plant be located outside the
building which it is intended to light
and for that reason Captain Metcalf
had q small adobe room constructed in
the back yard of the Orndorff and the
consists of four generators and q large
gasometer and reservoir similar to
those at the city gas works, though
smaller. The reservoir holds IS bar
rels of water and the gasometer in
verted in this holds 230 cubic feet of
gas.
Two hundred and sixty-three lights
are supplied from the reservoir, and
the cost is almost exactly one-half that
Of or
Stunning l foot of gas per hour cost l
cent for that period: foot burners cost
] of a cent, and foot, of cent.
During the II days which the plant
has been in operation at the Orndorff
the material consumed has cost only
SIS, and Mr.. De Croft estimates that he
has saved more than so per cent on the
cost of city gas for the same number Of
lights, and the service is far superior.
AT night the hotel Is now ablsze with
brilliant white lights of 25 and SO can
die power.
A HERALD reporter inspected the
plant this morning and found every
thing in ship shape. The generators
are SO devised that one at time is US
ed until the supply of carbide therein
is exhausted. Should the supply of
rings bell in the office and should the
pressure get too high safety valve
guards against all danger.
Mr.. De Croft said that he had pur-
chased the plant outright and consider
ed it one of the most economical invest
ments he ever made. SIT saves fifty
per cent of my gas bills" said he, ''and
there is no comparison between these
lights and those furnished by the city
gas company. The continuance is Civ
ing perfect satisfaction and is entirely
safe.''
Capt. Metcalf will leave for Tucson
Immediately to put in plant for the
Star. the leading newspaper of that
city, and for two private residences.
Plants for private residences, supplying
lights, cost only $50.

The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1899-09-23

The people of jackson, with great
unanimity, have come to the conclusion
that perhaps mistake was made in
announcing that Mai. d. Z. Porter had
yellow fever. This announcement was
made on Sunday. Sept. 10, on the au-
thority of DR.. Murray, of the Marine
Hospital Service, who was passing
through Jackson that day. Maj, Por-
ter was taken sick on the night of the
9Th, but the theory that he became in
fected from contact with his brother
Joe, who hod been to New Orleans, has
failed DR.. Johnston, Joe's physician,
telegraphs from Chicago that Joe had
no symptoms of yellow ever, and an
other physician who visited him en-
phatically indorses DIR. Johnston's
statement. good many persons Wis
tied Mai. Porter before his case was
pronounced yellow fever, and there has
been no spread of that or any other
disease in the city. Judge Whitfield
sizes up the situation about correct in
the Clarion-Ledger of the 18th: There
will be no postponement of the opening
of the October term of the supreme
court. In the first place l do not be-
lieve that there has been any yellow
fever in jackson. The case reported
looks very illogical" All guarantees
against jackson may be safely raised.

Maj. d. p, Porter, city clerk Of Jack.
SON. died on Saturday afternoon, Sept.
TO- He was taken sick on Monday
night, Sept, I, and on the next Sunday
afternoon the case was diagnosed as
yellow fever DIR. Murray, of the Ma
rine Hospital Service, passing through
jackson that day, was invited to see
the patient, and pronounced it yellow
fever But as days passed and none Of
the many who had been exposed by
visiting the family were taken sick,
the community, very generally, con-
cluded that mistake had been made.
The theory that Maj Porter took the
disease from his brother Joe, who had
been TO New Orleans, and who was
sick on his return, was not sustained,
for DIR. Johnston published over his
own signature that Joe Porter had no
yellow fever symptoms. Another
physician who visited Joe expressed the
same opinion.
When Maj, Porter died it was decided
to have post mortem examination.
This was conducted by Drs. HARRISON,
Hunter, Todd and Hughes They sus-
tanned the yellow fever diagnosis.
Their decision was announced at 8
o'clock, but it did not create a ripple Of
excitement. Should there be no other
case in the next few days, all danger
from this will be passed, and the
healthy authorities will doubtless
recommend the raising of all quaran-
tines against jackson. The city is I'M
usually healthy,
