HAS FRISCO THE PLAGUE.
Report TO That Effect Comes From
Sacramento.

According to a story in the sacra-
mento Bee Of August 18th plague has
again broken out in San Francisco. The
Bee tells OF the death of a white man,
who had been n habitue of Chinatown
and morphine fend, with all the
symptoms OF plague. The mans name
was William Murphy and he died at the
city and County Hospital six hours
after he had arrived there. Not until
after his death was his disease dag
nosed "a plague. and then a post-mor-
tenn examination showed signs that
pointed directly 20 that disease. The
case was the first that has been re-
ported In san Francisco where a white
person had been affected.
The San Francisco papers of August
18th and 18th say nothing whatever of
any plague In the city, and no Informal
ton has been received In this city that
the disease exists there. DIR. Carmichael
said yesterday that he had no official
news on that score and he was still
aeting under instructions 20 admit al
vessels from San Francisco with a
clean hill OF hoa1th.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 4, 1S00-As a
result of the primaries held by the Re-
publicans of Middlesex county to select
delegates to the county convention in this
city tomorrow it is believed the nomina-
ton of State Senator will go to Theodore
Strong, or, possibly, to C. S. Edgar. The
nomination or Strong will be more than
pleasing to the Democrats, for they are
confident, in that event, of re-electing
James H. Van Cleef without the slightest
difficulty
The primaries were not without incident,
and in every polling place a determined
fight was made by the adherents of the
three aspirants. The convention will find
the delegates split up into three factions
to begin with, and this alone does not au-
ger well for harmony among the Republi-
cans. In some sections delegates favora-
BILE to c. .S Edgar have been named,
others have elected delegates who want
Edward w. Hicks nominated, and still
other delegates are favorable to Strong.
The fight throughout the county is UNI
questionably the crystallization of the
long, silent opposition to Robert Carson
as the Republican leader. This sentiment
has been growing, and Strong has been
shrewd enough to take advantage of it,
and in that way has many delegates
which he would not have otherwise had.
