ADDITIONAL FEVER CASES.
Fifteen Typhoid Cases Reported Since
Yesterday Afternoon.

Fifteen new cases of typhoid fever re-
ported at the health Office since the last
record of the outbreak, made by The Star
Yesterday afternoon. At about this same
rate typhoid fever has been increasing dur
ing the past ten days, and while this rate
is not so alarming as that which prevailed
In the two weeks ended August 10, the ply
sicians feel that they are still far from haV-
ing the disease Under control.
The District authorities have been in
formed by the United States engineers in
charge of the construction of the new filtra-
ton plant that unless otherwise notified
they might understand that there would be
no break in the announced program to turn
into the District mains an additional guam
tity of 5000 ZOO gallons of filtered water
every other day. 1t was stated at the Dis
trict building today that no word has come
from the filtration plant. and it Is assumed
that today the city's water supply includes
"a, 600 600 gallons of purified water. This 1t
ia believed. will soon show a marked effect
upon typhoid fever.
With the added case reported today the
number of typhoid fever patients under
treatment in the city Is increased to 312, or
twenty cases higher than the worst portion
of the outbreak last year.

QUARANTINE OF JAIL RAISED.
Prisoners Eeld Over Their Terms to Be
Released Tomorrow.

Unless the unexpected development of an
other case of smallpox in the District jail
occurs within the ensuing twelve hours, the
quarantine established over that institu-
ton following the discovery on August II
that Peyton Sweet. negro prisoner, was
suffering from that disease, will be 1e-
moved tomorrow morning During the past
two weeks i3 prisoners have been isolated
in the south wing of the Jail and all of
them carefully watched for any suspicious
signs of Illness. Fortunately, 1t appears
that Sweet infected none of his fellow pris-
oners during the time he was in Jail before
the nature of his malady was discovered
One result of the quarantine has been to
carry to the lowest point in years the num-
Der Of prisoners incarcerated in the jail,
this condition doubtless resulting from the
determination reached and carried out by
the Police Court judges to send only such
prisoners as absolutely necessary to the
Jail. At 1 O'Clock this afternoon there were
only 426 prisoners in the big brownstone
building. Usually there are 500 or more
men and women constantly the guests of
Warden Harris. OF the 1S3 prisoners I'M
der quarantine 81 have finished their terms
some time during the past two weeks, but
they were ordered to be held over until the
required sixteen days had elapsed. All of
the twenty-one will be released arly to-
morrow morning.

AFTER QUANTRELL RAIDERS.
Move to Try Men Under Indictments
Forty Years Old

A dispatch from Topeka. Kan. last night
says: Gov Hoch this morning made a
statement which indicates that he will
honor a request for a requsition on Gov.
Folk of Missouri for the return of the
Douglas county members of Quantrell' Q
band. indicted forty-two years ago for MUIR
der in connection with the sackng of Law
renee.
II do not know that such a request Will
be made TO me-" said Gov Hoch, but un-
derstand the feeling in Lawrence is very
strong as the result of the inflammatory
utterances of some of Quantrells men at
the recent reunion at Independence.
1T is extremely bad taste In these Did
raiders to stir up wartime anmosities.
They did nothing of which they should be
proud They killed non mbatants. Guam
trells men were in no way soldiers, and
such warfare as they waged is a disgrace
to civiliza ton"
A movement In favor OF prosecuting the
men connected started in Lawrence
this week. At the Independence reunion
one of Quantrels men is credited with
having said In a speech
Il am sorry now We did not wipe the
- - town out"
He was referring to Lawrence. Twenty
three raiders were indicted for murder in
1868. just following the Lawrence raid The
following is a complete list of the indicted
men:
William Quantren. Richard Yeager.

BARRED FROM THE MAILS.
Fraud Orders Issued Against Suspect
ed Cotton Brokers.

The Post Office Department has issued
fraud orders against two alleged cotton
brokerage firms doing business in New York
city, on the ground that their object Is to
defraud the public. The schemes are al
most identical with that of the Storey Cot
ton Company, Albert f.. Reed & Co
and other similar firms against which fraud
orders have been issued. The fraud orders
in this instance are issued against Doug
las. alley & Co. and James Horace
Gordon & Co, the former located at 375
Broadway and the latter at Al West 24th
street, New York city.
In both instances the report of the post
office inspectors shows that the alleged
companies rented small rooms in obscure
buildings and used only enough furniture
TO facilitate the handling of the mail orders
The companies advertised to use subscribers
money for speculation in all sorts of stocks,
and particularly in cotton, and guaranteed
big returns The Post Office Department
decided that the firms could not legally
accomplish what they advertised and the
fraud orders followed
Fraud orders issued against Prof. n.
Frederick. 217 West 125th street. New York
city, and Bradford a. Co, b East Sd street,
Cincinnati, have been revoked.

NOT CONTRARY TO LAW.
Commissions Ruling on Long and
Short Haul Charges.

The interstate commerce commission to-
day rendered an opinion in the case of the
Rock Hill Buggy Company against the
Southern railway and the Seaboard Air
Line/railway. 1t was held that the de-
PENDANTS rate of s1.S0 per 100 pounds on
buggies, in carloads, from Rock Hill, S. c..
to Tallahassee. Fla, is not shown to be un-
reasonable. Under the construction placed
on the long and short haul clause of the
statutes by the Supreme Court of the
United States, competition by the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company justifies the
defendants lower rate of 81. for the
longer distance to Quinsy Fla.
