 Taies of the Yellow Fever's Rayages in
 Pensaeola.
 Pensacola, Fla, Oct. S.--tSpecial. )- Sad stories are being told about the yellow fever ravages in this city, and the latest Is one which closes the sad dest BIcturee thst has been seen yet. This is the case of the deaths of MT. and Mrs Schultz. an aged couple who came here some time since. had not great many friends and who resided alone, securing comfort from the com pany of each other. Mrs. Schultz, as tolu in The Advertisers dispatches. a few days ago, expired at her home while the aged husband was lying in another room sick with the fever. It was thought that information about his wifes death would have a bad effect on the old gentleman, so 1t was merci- fully kept from him for awhile, but he discovered after time that the conn panion of his life had passed away and then was enacted a sade scene which will never be forgotten by those who witnessed 1t. With moans which were pitiful to hear, the old gentleman want ed to know if his suspicious were true. After a time he was told that they were; that his wife had died from the fever. Then 1t was that he jumped from his bed, and 1t was related that with the fever still high on him he got to the hallway in his bare feet. It was afterward necessary to place a guard over him until he was taken to the hospital, where death enabled him to join his wife, who had preceded him but a few days.
 They were by themselves in this world, or at least in this city, for no oth sr relatives were with them known in Pensacola. During the cordon of portion of the city the old gentleman happened to be out of the limits when the guards were placed. He remained outside of the lines, as he could not afford to do without work. Each meal time his wife would convey to him his meals and these would be eaten in the public square. There could not have been found a more devoted couple.
 Another story revealed in the death of a young man named Eddie Biledeau, who had been known only as Willie Savage" in Pensacola. This young man was f9 years of age and his home was at Augusta Me. Three years ago, against the consent of his mother and amid the protests of his relatives. he joined the United States Navy, coming to Pensacola a short time ago on the cruiser Vixen. A short time ago he deserted from that ship and changed his name. His real identity would probably never have been known had he not been told that he would not re- cover and then ne told all yesterday a brother arrived in Pensacola to in ouire for the young man, and was 9rieved beyond measure when told that his brother, who had said he was i'll, fin a telegram before death to his home, had 3led and been buried burriedly near inc poor farm. The brother immedi- ately inaug lrated steps to have the re- maIns of the dec sased taken back home, and this probably will be done after the Fever Is stamped put altogether.
 It is stated that the Biledeau family ,s wealthy and they had not been ad- ui.ed of the presence of the younger one until the wire reached them that he was sick in Pensacola. Then 1t was that immediate steps were taken to saI,e him brought home If possible.
 The above are two of the saddest of storles which are coming out of the | nrssent unfortunate predicament of the | city.
