SULFUR DAY IN NEW ORLEANS.

XIII on Yellow Fever Mosquitoes.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 2.-There were three
deaths from yellow fever and sixteen new
cases to-day.
The city Is again enshrouded In the fumes
Of sulfur to-day, a wholesale fumigation
for the thirditime being had to kill the mos
quitoes. A general order has been issued
to the funeral directors by the health
authorities, requesting cooperation in fumi-
eating houses Immediately after death
and before funerals. Although there have
been over 800 cases OF yellow fever at Lee
vile, where the population is 800, according
to the health authorities, there have been
oniv twenty-eight deaths to date, or at the
rate OF about 8 per cent. It is also said
that about 200 persons have left that place
for parts unknown.
The matter Of holding general conven-
ton Of Southern States TO consider whether
hands OF the Federal Government will
probably be held in q short time. The
situation is that law has already passed
placing quarantine restrictions in the hands
OF the Government. but the Public Health
refused to take hold Of the matter excepting
ct the unanimous request Of the Southern
States. This is hardly likely to be obtained,
especially as J. H. White, In charge OF the
service here, has succeeded in stirring up
about a. many enemies as friends. Memphis
has threatened formal charges against him.

thirty-nine and deaths four. There have

Papc, "a, Of New York. has succeeded for
three Years in mulcting railroad and trolley
companies out Of thousands Of dollars in
fake damages.
In signed confession obtained to-day
by the Rapid Transit Company. Pspe tells
how he worked the big companies Of New
York, Chicago. Cleveland and Buffalo
successfully. He had turned States evil
Gs1ce en- the men who were connected
with him. Two q these, John Burns and
John Wilmott. were arrested, while the
police are after New York lawyer, who,
Pape says, did the gangs legal business.
Pape was held under $4,000 bail for court,
while his two confederates, who are con-
fined In a workhouse in Cleveland, will be
taken to New York where they will face
q number Of serious charges.
Pape, who was the leader Of the gang,
has peculiar physical asset that was most
valuable to him in these schemes. Time
after time. after he had apparently been
hurled from a moving street car, he has
been taken to hospitals Of various cities
in an unconscious condition. Doctors at
these institutions, after making IN X-ray
examination, would declare that he had
either fracture Of the skull or an injury to
the vertebrB.
With his confederates for witnesses to
the accident and the endorsement of the
physicians, Pape would have case for
damages that could not be attacked.
He did have an injury to the fifth verta-
bre. but this was received as a result Of
diving from height Of forty feet into
o vat containing six feet Of water. A
miscalculation caused Pape to strike his
head against the side Of the vat. When
he recovered from the effects Of this aoci-
dent, which broke q vertabra, there was
a lump on the back Of his neck, and the
muscles of the front Of the neck had taken
a peculiar formation. BY Stimulating the
actions Of man who had his spine injured,
he could, by the aid Of these physical evil
denoes fool any doctor.
