PLAGUE IN CARACAS
DISEASE DIAGNOSED IN
 THAT CITY.
First Case Develops fin Fashionable Quarter Which Increases the AIaFm.-ERerts to Stop Its
 RaVagea.

Caracas. June 1.-The dreaded plague has at last come to Caracas. which has for a few months past been hop ing against hope that it might be stricken the port of LaGuayra.
 The city awakened suddenly today to the full Knowledge that the disease was here and the fact that the case was that of an employe of the fam ous La India Cafe, one of the finest fin Caracas did not tend to decrease the general alarm. It was realized that the presence of the bubonic plague in such quarters meant that no section of the city was safe from it's ravages.
 The general supposition had been that if the plague ever reached Cara cas 1t would make it's first appearance in the dirty districts and probably be confined there. but this unexpected. foe GUS of infection has given rise to grave forebodings as to the future.
 When the mayor Of the city, ao- companied by a commission of physi- clans went to La India this afternoon to investigate the suspected case, a crowd of people congregated in the street. anxiously awaiting the oflcial report. About the same time a rumor spread that there was another case in another section of the city. This, how ever, could not be confirmed
 About a month ago there were three eases of suspicious bubonic plague in Caracas. They were isolated, however, and appeared to have left no infection behind.
 Last week an employe of La India Cafe died suddenly, and it was an- nounced that the cause of death was tetanus, or lockjaw. aith ough it be- came known that the body was buried Immediately and watch set on the house by the police. It was only today that the people became convinced that the plague had got a real hold on the city.
 The most reliable figures obtainable from private sources give about 100 eases in La Guayra since the epidemic came two months and half ago. This is only a little more than one case a day, but the city has little over five thousand inhabitants.
 As no money has bean appropriated with which to fight the disease in La Guayra or to clean up Caracas, and as the money subscribed by the merchants and corporations was not sufficient for the purpose. the joint committee of doctors and merchants which has been fighting the disease in La GuayrA has been obliged to abandon its efforts
 The alarm felt over the condition In that port caused a superficial clean- ing up in Caracas by the residents but the streets have not been cleaned for some time.

ment until the kidneys are we'll, when

Some Warm Language.

An exciting incident occurred
the week when Lawyer
Garland, of Salisbury, and Law
yer Hendren. of Winston, passed
the lie, in open court, something
an ex-judge sitting in the room
said he never had heard before.
The case of Minis VS.. the South
ern, or North Carolina railroad.
was being heard It seems that
the plaintiff in this suit, after
having retained Mr.. Garland,
compromised the case himself,
through some other lawyer. Mr..
Garland continued to press the
suit, and it was during this trial
that the red hot incident occurred.
Mr. Hendren was reading q
lengthy affidavit, setting forth al
legations about the manner in
which Mr.. Garland had obtained
the case, accusing him of unpro-
fessional conduct.
"That statement is not true,"
said MIR. Garland.
"You are q liar and you know
you are" responded Mr.. Hendren
"Gentlt men, you cannot use
such language in my COURT" said
Judge Webb.
II beg your honor's pardon"
said Mr.. Hendren, 'but [ know
no difference between "untrue''
and "a lie"
The judge stated that the allie
cations contained in the affidavit
were a topic that could be dis.
cussed in the meeting of the bal
association. They had nothing tc
do with the case. The case, how.
ever was dismissed, and Mr.. Gar.
land appealed Lexington Dis
patch.
