plurality in the unreported counties of 1888

contested counties are practically the same

Officials of Two State Boards Dis
cuss the Disease.
Jackson, Miss. November 17.-Dr Ed
mond Souchon, president of the Louisiana
State board of health, spent a portion of
the day here with Secretary Hunter of
the Mississippi board discussing the yell
low fever infection. He expressed the
opinion that the original germs were not
imported from Cuba, but were produc-
ton of the germ of last year which had
not been entirely killed by the severe cold
weather He denied that the Jackson in
lection had been brought from New Or
leans as no evidence in support of such
claim had been presented. After the eX-
animation of the pathological reports of
several local cases he said that the symp-
toms were the same as those OF the New
Orleans fever. Dr.. Souchon says yellow
fever Is growing milder each year and he
believes it will entirely disappear or cease
TO be known as yellow fever. He holds
that the disease Is not contagious as nony
people imagine and a great deal of the
fear is resultant more from the name
than anything else. He cited cases treat
ed in the New Orleans hospitals on beds
longside of patients suffering with other
troubles without infection being COM
Or. Souchon attributed tbs
light spread this year to SCIENTIFIC sani-
tation, which he says is the only efiectual
agency to stamp out tn, disease.

correspondent who has just visited the
sanitarlum hospital says all tho armored
train wounded are doing well Captain
Wylie, in an interview, said Sergeant Tod
deserves special mention for having sur
rounded him with boulders to protect
him from the rifles when lying helpless
and wounded. Tod even lay down beside
the officer to cheer him up. A shell land
ed among the protecting boulders, spat-
terlng them with earth. but Captain Wylie
sustained no further injury. But for Tod
he would have been killed. Several men
escaped maryelously. When Wieston
Churchill requested Captain wylie to call
for volunteers to remove the upset trucks,
the bullets, IL Ia said, were dropping on
the train like rain" The men through
out stuck TO their work, responding 10 the
noble example set by Churchill and Lieu-
tenant franklin until the line was cleared.
Churchill actually left with the engine
but he got out at the next station, Frere,
took rife from soldier saying he
could not leave the wounded and walked
away in the direction OF the Beers.
Sergeant Hassell OF the Dublin Fusileers
behaved with the greatest gallantry. He
took charge OF the firing party and stood
up unfinchingly under the Beers hot

that the relief movement towards KIM
herley commenced some time ago. The
Ninth Lancers, Northumberland Fusileers
and part OF tho Lancashires, who some

Lieutenant Colonel Keith Falooner Every
thing indicates that we are on the eve OF
very important developments In the region
on the Orange river and along the line
OF the Deaar junction, Colesburg, Burg

In an official statement issued by the

for the relief OF Ladysmith are completed
that the remaining troops viii be utilized
in accordance with the original plan OF

Observation-Disclosures:

Louisville, Ky, November IA ques-
If not deciding, influence on the con-
test for the governorship of Kentucky wac
brought up today before the canvassing
boards of Jefferson county, which includes
Louisville. Counsel for the democratic
candidates gave notice of mot on to
throw out the vote of the city because of
the presence of militia at the polling places
on November T. The notice served ON the
commissioners follows:
For the democratic candidates we
now give notice that at the close of
the count and before any certificates
are issued, we will move the board
and all other authorities that may con
slider this election to declare null and
void the election held in the city of
louisville on the 18th day of November.
1890.
l. Because Of the usurpation OF
William o. Bradley in calling out and
Illegally using the militia and over
awing and intimidating the voters and
officers of and at said election and in
derfering with the progress of said
election and the duties of officers of
said election.
.. Because S. B. Toney unlawfully
usurped power in requiring said Will
lam o. Bradley to call out and use
n,td ,,,it;t{a -,;J rrrnoso u,I,oo eoid
call was entirely unnecessary and the
civil authorities were able and willing
to execute any order made by said
court.
8. Because said militia was used for
the unlawful purposes aforesaid.
5. Because the said use of said
militia was unlawful in every respect
and criminal usurpation of power by
said named persons and thereby the
civil power was subordinated TO the
military power and an overt act OF
reasonable nature against the con-
stitution of the State of Kentucky was
committed.
This action has been expected ever since
the official count began. 1t was freely
reported on election day that If tho militia
were called out it would result in such a
step. With Louisville thrown out Goebel
would have a safe plurality In the re-
mainder of the State. This dispute VIII
and aggravate the fight. for the
republicans will make every effort in their
power to retain Taylor's Louisville plural
ity.
The official count was received tonight
from Floyd and Knott counties. Floyd
gives Goebel 1856 and Knott gives him 459
plurality.
Frankfort, KY, November 1.-THE
proposition today from Goebel's LAWYERS
to throw out the entire vote Of Louisville
was not wholly unlocked for by the re-
publican leaders here. 1t is now said
Senator Deboe's visit here last night was
for the purpose OF ascertain'ng definitely
TO what extent Governor Bradley VIII sup
port Taylor in the event that G ehel Is
given the certificate of election based on
this proceeding. Senator Deboe and Gov
erpor Bradley are not on speaking terms
and a third party communicated with both
n, them. Deboe says he is satisfied Brad
lev will stand by Taylor and will vigorous
ly resist Goebel
Senator Lindsay will be asked to act as
one Of the attorneys for the anti-Goebel
side before the State election commission.
