It is Of them we must think, to
give them peace of mind and all the

exist in the minds Of the laymen. You
must bear in mind that it is to the COM
munity at large we owe allegiance and
for that reason you must leave no stone
unturned to protect the citizens from any
danger that may arise because of the ex-
istence of yellow fever at Old Point

INDIANS BODY FOUND.
Killed Himself After Shooting
Young Edith MoreII.

SOUTH AMHERST, Mass. Aug. /. 1899
The body of Eugene Takahpuer the
Indian farm hand who shot and killed
Edith Norell, the seventeen-year-o1d
daughter of Mrs. J. F. MorelI, last even
ing. and afterwards set fire to the house
and barn, was found in the ruins of the
barn today A revolver was found by the
body, and it is believed that the Indian
committed suicide, just after setting the
barn on fire.
Large crowds of people from this seq
tion viewed the scene of the tragedy to-
day, and a number assisted in the search
for Takahpuer. Notwithstanding the
fact that several persons thought the
man fled to the mountains, others be-
lieyed that he had carried out a threat
to commit suicide, and looked carefully
among the ruins. AT length the body
was located and revolver was picked
up near by containing three empty cart
ridges. Two of these were fired when
Miss Morrell was killed. The third it is
believed was used by the Indian to end
his own life.
There were no other important develop
ments in connection with the tragedy to-
day. 1t is the general opinion that the
act of Takahpuer, who was a graduate
of the Carlisle Indian School, was due
to Miss Morel's refusal to accept his at
tenfi0ns

PREVENT YELLOW FEVER |
Board Of Health Takes Steps
to Keep it Out Of
Jersey City.

The Health Department of this city IS
taking every possible precaution to pre-
vent the Introduction of yellow fever into
this city, or the adjacent cities, by pas
sengers arriving on Southern trains The
Health Inspector has ~durfng the past
few weeks closely watched all trains from
the South especially from Virginia,
where there is an epidemic of the fever.
AS the result of Inspector Benjamin's $
forethought fumigators will be stationed
in the yards Of all railroads having their
terminus in this city. Each car that ar
rives from the south will be Immediately
fumigated. The railroad authorities are
cooperating with the health officers TO
prevent infection.
In former years it was not necessary
to fumigate the cars as a precaution
against the fever until the latter part of
September, but owing to the scare in
Virginia the work will be begun immedi-
ately The work of funigating the cars
is done by employees of the Board Of
Health at the expense of the railroad
companies.
To be prepared for any emergency the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
have even set apart room near the de-
pot at the foot of Exchange place in
which will be quartered any person who
may be suspected of having yellow fever
or who may have come in contact with
any person suffering from the dread dis
ease. This action was taken on the re-
quest made by Health Inspector Benja-
min, in the following order, sent to each
of the several railroads.
1.-THE Jersey City Board of Health is
most anxious to prevent the Introduction
of yellow fever to our city and State
through passengers coming from towns
and cities within the yellow fever dis
trict. Modern means of transportation
are so rapid and convenient and travel of
Southern visitors to our Northern cities,
sea shores, watering places and health
resorts has Increased so much of late that
the danger of contagion is greatly in
creased thereby
"sWe therefore, would respectfully re-
quest that your company provide place
to isolate any and all persons in any way
afflicted, suffering from or coming in i'm
mediate contact with the dread disease
and arriving from points where yellow
fever is known to exist until this office is
notified and ambulance ordered and
proper care taken to care for such sick
and afflicted persons; also to have the
cars in which any such case or cases
have been carried, thoroughly fumigated
Immediately after arriving.
ut is suggested that you order conduc-
tors of all North bound trains carrying
passengers from the fever district, to-
telegraph ahead to your office whenever
they find or suspect a case is on the train
of which they have charge, and that
copy of such telegram be sent or tele-
phoned to this Office as soon as possible
in order that we may receive early infor-
nation of any case or cases en- route,
and be prepared to act promptly when
ever our services are required"

THE BOYCOTT SPREADS
Cleveland Merchants Re-
quest Employees Not to
Patronize Consoli-
dated Lines.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. /, 1899.-This
is the sixteenth day of the present street
car strike in this city and apparently it
is no nearer settlement now than when
it began.
Late last night some unknown persons
pushed an electric freight car loaded with
ties from a switch on Mayfield Heights,
just east of the city, onto the main track
and down the long. steep hill towards
Euclid avenue. Half way down the in
cline it colided with an upbound car with
terrific force. Both cars We're badly
wrecked. Two passengers were on the
upbouna car Strange to say neither they
nor the crew were injured beyond a
severe shaking up.
The Big Consolidated officials today
state that every line in their system is in
full operation, and on the more important
lines the regular schedule is being main
tanned
The cars running down town on the
Euclid and Cedar avenue lines We're fairly
well filled this morning On the other
twelve lines on the Big Consolidated sys-
tenn, however, they were compare lively
empty at an hour when they are usually
crowded.
The boycott movement has spread so
rapidly that it has now reached the big
down town wholesale and department
stores In many cases the proprietors of
these establishments are requesting their
employees not to ride on the Big Console
dated cars. In some instances however,
the merchants have fatty refused to take
part in the boycott and declare they will
have nothing to do with it no matter
what the result may be.
A special from Sandusky. o., says
Late last night sympa thizers with the
Cleveland street railway strikers began
making attempts to wreck the cars OF
the Sandusky and interurban line here.
Large stones were placed en- the track,
stakes were driven between the rails, and
pieces of plank spiked across the track,
SO as to throw the cars off If possible.
AS socn as he plot to derail the cars
was discovered a detachment of police
was sent to guard the line. The Sam
dusky ana Interurban line is controlled
BY President Henry A. Everett of the
Big Consolidated Company at Cieve-
land.
No material damage has been done SO
far.
