THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC TIED UP
A Case of Yellow Fever at New Or
leans Results in Texas Quar-
dntine Being Establlshed---Dr.
YdndeII Talks.

! The fact that the Southern Pacific is
| tied up this early in the season by the
breaking out of yellow fever in New
/ Orleans is causing considerable talk in
and out of railroad circles.
President Sochon, of the Lou isiana
state board of health, sent out word
| that a case of yellow fever had appear
ed in New Orleans and with the adven t
of this news Health officer Blunt, of
this state, ordered a strict quarantine,
thus tying up the Souther Pacific
line.
When seen at his home today by
HERALD reporter State Quarantine In
spector Ysndell said: cit is somewh hat
early for the disease to make its ap-
pearance but 1 believe that it is proper
to establish an effective quarantine and
prevent the spread of the disease If
they exercise the proper care with this
case they may never hear of another
case for several months, but if they
neglect this case and allow the disease
to get started this time of the year, it is
liable to cause no end Of trouble
Chief Train Dispatcher McNiel, of the
Southern Pacific, said that they were
not bothered with the disease last year
until September. He was unable to
give any information more than that
the quarantine had been declared
against Louisiana by the state of Tex
as.
The traffic manager of the Southern
Pacific wired thesageot is in this city that
there exists no quarantine at New Or
leans at present and that travel over
that line is open, with no probability of
any trouble now.

SUES FOR DAMAGES.
William Gibson Asks For $4,000
For Injuries Received.

The case of William Gibson VS.. the
G. II. & S. A. and the 7. p. for per-
sonal injuries received, is on trial in
the district court today.
To avoid being in a collision which
was about to take place between two
trains at Clint on the 22d of February
of last year, Gibson. who was head
brakeman, jumped from the moving
train, sustaining personal injuries, from
which he has never fully recovered,
and is now suing the railroad compa-
oies for ten thousand dollars damages.
Judge Edwards is looking after the in
terests of the railroads and Patterson
and Wallace are Mr.. Gibson's attor-
news.

stating that he was in Jail at this point

At the Commercial they speak of

arrive in q few days from Dawson and
the young man will return and face the

to the jury. The charge was some
what lengthy and defined the law or
murder in the first and second degrees
The jury was instructed that any per-
son had right to kill another in de.
tense of his own life and that if he had
any reasonable ground for appreherd-
| ing that his life was in danger he had q
right to shoot. 1t was not necessary
that there should be any actual danger.
| The jury then silently fled out of the
room, and the crowd started to discuss
the probable outcome. 1t seemed that
the jury had been out only short
time when it was announced that they
had agreed upon verdict. When the
verdict was opened District Clerk AL
| derete read the following words. 1--WE.
| the jury, find the defendant guilty of
| murder in the second degree and assess
his punishment at five years in the
penitentiary.'' The verdict proved q
great surprise rs many had comunted
on it being either an acquaittal or a
hung jury; many, however, believed
that the defendant would be found
guilty and seemed satisfied with the
sentence imposed. The verdict was
handed in about o'clock.
The first vote in the jury room was
ten to two. This vote was taken on the
simple question as to whether the pri-
soner Was guilty or innocent. The sec.
ond vote resulted eleven to one, al
though there was no argument or con-
versation prior to the second vote.
The one man, who had stood for acquit-
tai, then gave in, and it was agreed af-
ter some discussion that the prisoner
should be given five years. In the pri-
soner's state of Ill health this amounts
practically to life sentence.
In the jury room there was little dis
cussion as to the details of the case.
There was general agreement that the
main point to be considered was wheth
err the prisoner acted in self defense.
Much of the evidence was discredited
or laid by, and it was recognized that
was manifest on both sides.
Since there did not appear to be any
evidence that Mulhern had
made any show of force until after he
had been shot by Price, the jury con- |
cluded that there did not exist in |
Prices mind any reasonable apprehen-
sion that his life was in danger. Hence |
the verdict.

Of Murder In the Second
Degree
RECEIVES FIVE YEARS
The Result Surprises SOme.-Judge
WalthalPs Charge to the jury
jury Out About Two HOurs.-A
Motion For New Trial tO,Be Filed.

The district court room was crowded
to Overlooking yesterday with eager
spectators, including many lawyers, tC
hear the concluding arguments of the
opposing counsel in the Price murder
trial, and the courts charge to the
jury.
Mr.. Yantis in his argument before
the jury accused Mr.. Dean of being
over Jealous in attacking q minister OF
the gospel and said that Mr.. Bloyce
"haa been praying for Deans kind for
the past twenty years."
Then the senator referred in the
most scsthing and bitter language
to Judg e Gatewood, and his action In
changing sides in the case and going
over to the state after first epgsing to
defend Price. He said that Gatewood
under the guise of friendship went to
the Jail, gained Prices confidence un-
der q promise to defend him. and then
betrayed him by going over to the
state, aud using what he had learned
in confidence against him.
The senator made savage attacks on
the evidence of Jesse Pruett, who tie
titled for the state, and pointed out the
many contradictions in it.
Mr.. Yantis said that he was defend
ing Price, who was dear friend of his,
and those who had known him for as
many years as he had would know that
he could never be guilty of murder.
Mr.. Dean in his closing argument
directed his attack against the speech
of Senator Yantis, as he considered
the latter's remarks as being personal
and resented them bitterly. He pro-
ceeded to ridicule the arguments of
Mr.. Yantis as to Prices having been
forced into taking GatewOOd as bis at
torney and declared that every officer
in jeff Davis county was on his side
and he could easily have had his hear
ing postponed until he could get an
other lawyer. He spoke sarcsstically
OF the prisoner in ''the tolls of Chad
burn, the cruel jailor," and "the of
flee holding trust of Jeff Davis county"
as he termed it.
Mr.. Dean closed the case for the |
state shortly after O'Clock. Judge |

Papers. ---Interviewed By Herald
Reporter.

There arrived in this city two weeks
ago from Dawson, Georgia, one Cbas.
S. Statham, who showed doctors GER
tiicate to prove that he was advised to
come here for his health.
1t was but few days after his ar
rival until he secured employment at
the Commercial hotel as night clerk
and accumulated friends very rapidly
Although his counteDance indicated
that he was not in the best of health
he was always in the best OF spirits
and treated the guests with every cour-
tesy within his pow err.
Last night about 6 o'clock, however,
Chief Lockart appeared at the hotel
armed with warrant from Dawson
Ga, ordering his arrest on charge of
forgery. Mr.. Statham accompanied
the chief to police headquarters and
this created no little stir because the
charge against him was not made
known.
This morning HERALD reporter
called at the Office of the chief of pol
ice and was granted permission 20 in
terview the prisoner.
In one of the cells Immediately in
side of the door the re-
porter found the young man resting on
one of the cots. At first he declined to
say anything, stating that the matter
better be kept quiet. He was informed
that it had been stated that he was
charged with forgery and this ad the
effect of getting him to talk in his own
behalf.

This is not said with view to rblam
ing anyone nor as the basis of a
charge that there has been reckless
extravaganza at Washington, but
simply as a statement of fact that
should be known by all of us and
which has been forced upon attention
by the publication of the grand total
Of the appropriations of the congress
that has just adjourned. That total,
according to the best information now
obtainable, exceeded fifteen hundred
million dollars and may very likely
millions. Where is the nation that
spends money at that rate to maintain
its government? Great Britain, with
its jurisdiction running entirely round
the world, has commonly been con-
sidered to have a more costly govern
ment than any other country till now.
But the American figures have grown
quite beyond the British limits. With
the enormous sums appropriated by
the British government on national
debt account, for annufties to the royal
family, for army and navy, for do
nestle needs, for the administration
and defense Of colonies scattered in
every quarter of the globe, the total
expenditures of the British govern
ment for the last two completed fiscal
years-the years ending April 1, 1897,
and 1S9S-were about SLOPE, zoo, 900.

'Umph!" growled the great editor.
Thus encouraged, the humorist pro-
ceeded:
For some time past, as you have

the world has developed a peculiar

GEATEST SUAGR COUNTRY IN
THE WORLD.

The average yield Of sugar to the
acre of cane is greater in the Hawaiian
islands than in any other cane-grow-
ing country in the world. 1t varies,
however, great deal; the average
yield of Maui, for instance, is about
three and one-half tons of sugar to
the acre; Hawaii's average is lowered
by the smaller producing qualities Of
her leeWard or dry size, but would not
go lower than four tons; Kauai, from
four to five tons; and Oahu, six to
seven tons. There are, OF course,
pieces of ground, even entire planta-
tions, on each Of these islands, where
the yield would greatly exceed the ay-
erage of the island; one plantation Of
Oahu, for instance, yields ten tons OF
sugar to the acre lit takes seven to
eight tons of cane to produce ton
of sugar., and special yields Of even
sixteen tons per acre have been OBJ
tanned from given sections Of the same
Oahu plantation. The quality Of these
figures is better appreciated by COM
parison with the yield Of Louisiana.
The average yield of Louisiana-ac-
cording to the figures Prof. w. c.
Stubs, director Of the state expert
ment station, has been kind enough
to furnish-varies from enc ton to
two and o1e-nalf tons of sugar per
acre-the average being perhaps not
over one and one-half tons.-Harpeps
Weekly.
