No VERDICT IN
THE SANFORD
CASE
JuT Still Out at Ten o'clock Last
Night--Judge Opposed to
New Trial.
BY Associated Press.

Rome, Ga, Aug. 9.-The jury in the
Sanford case is still our at 10 o'clock
tonight and it is believed there is no
hope for a verdict by the present
jury.
Judge Wright in an interview with
the Associated Press this afternoon
stated that he could not tell when
the would call the jury in for inquiry
or whether he would declare a mis-
trial. He stated he would like the
present jury 10 reach a verdict, and
that no mistrial would be declared
very soon unless he changed his mind.
He is opposed to another trial on &C
count Of the cost, and on account of
the fact that almost every juror in the
county has heard the evidence pre-
sented at the t.lal already held.

BURTON LEAVES
FOR CONVICT
CAMP
Taken to Camp of Warn Bros. to
Commence Serving Term of
Eight Years.

B. H. Burton was yesterday taken
to the convict camp of Warn Bros,
where he will commence his lengthy
term OF eight years. He left the cOuG-
ty jail yesterday afternoon, in COM
pany with guards, and in a hack
passed through the city and out to
the camp, which is located near Mus
cogee.
Another prisoner. A DeROy, was
also taken out at the same time. The
latter is to serve nine months. having
pleaded guilty to grand larceny. He
was a former bluejacket and made
away with about $45 belonging to a
Greek, for whom he was working.
Mr.. Burton was convicted a short
time since of forgery and uttering
forged paper, and Judge Beggs gave
him a sentence of four years upon
each charge. Owing to the fact that
there were several other informations
pending against him, each containing
about three counts, the case was not
appealed to the supreme court.
The prisoner is well educated, an
expert pennman and draughtsman
ard is also an engineer.
Several friends called upon him at
the county jail before be was taken
out to the camp and bid him good
bye.

RAILROADS MUST
HANDLE. THE
MAILS
Instructed that Cove rnment
Pouches Must Be Moved in
Some Manner,
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 9.-In a manner
intended not to arouse combativeness
on the part of inhabitants of cities in
the yellow fever districts where local
guarantees have been raised, the post
office department is insuructing rail-
roads having mail carrying contracts
that it expects government pouches TO
be moved with as much dispatch as
possible. The railroads have been
given to understand that the depart
ment expects the mail to be moved in
some manner, if not on passenger
trains, then on freights, or handcars or
by any other means that can be adopt
ed. 1t is believed no objection will
be found to the transfer of mails in
quarantine districts if no attempt is
made by the railroads to discharge
at quarantine stations.

nosed as yellow fever.
Archbishop Chappelle was stout,
full blooded and past sixty years of
age, under which conditions the fever
is always alarming. The best of med
ical talent and nursing was pressed
into service and every effort was
made to fight the disease.
Steady inroads were made, -howev-
er, and yesterday the patient was
found to be in a serious condition.
There was no improvement this morn
ing and the patient showed alarming
signs of weakness. Before noon there
was an alarming change for the worse

off the end.

FEVER REFUGEES
IN COLORADO
Social to The JournaI.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 9.-The yellow
fever situation in Louisiana and along
the. eastern border of Texas and Ar
Kansas has caused a veritable exodus
OF Southern residents into Colorado
within the last few days.
Colorado climate is such that no
disease germs of virulent nature can
possibly gain a fOothold. This fact il
pretty well known in the south, with
the result that every train from the
south and east this week and last.
has been loaded with people who were
fleeing from the vicinity OF the infect
ed districts. A large part of them
came from Texas, though Louisiana.
Mississippi, Alabama and even Ten
nessee and Georgia are largely repre-
scented. II is estimated that there are
more than 5000 people in the city
this week from the immediate neigh
borhood of the diseasea districts.
