CHOLERA DEATH IN boston.
SAILORS BELIEVED TO HAVE
CARRIED DISEASE.
Children Of Dead Woman arc De-
taincd In Quarantine and Ita. ian
District Will be Fumi9atcd.

Boston, July 23.-Asiatic Cholera
has reached Boston. 1t caused one
death, while two foreign sailors who
are believed to have brought the
dreaded disease here, after being
taken i'll, disappeared and their
Whereabouts is unknown, according
to statement given out officially to
day by Chairman Samuel H. Durgin
Of the Boston board Of health.
The cholera victim was Mrs. Ia
massino MastrodenicO, who died at
the detention hospital on Gallup's
Island Thursday. She took into her
home as lodgers a few weeks ago
two sailors who We're members Of
the crew Of a steamer supposed to
have sailed from an Italian port. The
sailors subsequently We're taken i'll
and disappeared. Efforts are being
made to find them.
The children Of Mrs. Mustroderi-
co are under observation at the quar-
antine station and the board has
already begun the work Of examining
the many persons who may have
come into contact with the dead wo-
man. The house where the woman
lived is in the congested Italian dis
trict Of the city and will be thor
oughly fumigated, and all precau-
tions taken to protect the % fam
lilies, including some half hundred
children, who also live there.
The delay in determining def
nitely that the woman died Of chol-
era was due to difficulty in recogniz-
ing the germs of the disease Of the
cultures, the diagnosis being made
possible only yesterday by the re-
ceipt from Washington of a supply
Of anti-chOlera serum with which a
glutinatiOn test was made. Mrs.
Masterodenico until she was isolated
was attended constantly by her
daughter Mary, who slept with her.
The girl is being detained and close
ly watched.

IMPORTANT LUMBER DECISION.
Many Contracts May be Upset IL
Flagler Case Is Finally Won.

Florence. July 21.-The decision
of the supreme court in the case of
A. w. Flagler against the Atlantic
Coast Lumber company, recently
handed down, Is of the utmost i'm
portance to the people of this sec
ton Of the State, as millions OF dol
lars of land and the titles to the
timber thereon are involved in the
hnal settlement
The case came up in the circuit
court and was decided adversely to
the plaintiff, Mr.. Flagler, a citizen
of Williamsburg county, who had
with the majority of other owners Of
timber lands in this section sold his
timber to the Atlantic Coast Lumber
company, giving them the right to
cut at any time and the timber to
be theirs for a period of ten years
from the time the cutting began. The
appeal was made that the contract
was too indefinite to be enforced,
and was. therefore, different from
certain other timber right cases
heard in this State previously. The
supreme court reverses Judge Prince
in the matter. and the case will he
reopened in the circuit court and
the jury will have q finding Of fact
as TO a reasonable limit Of time,
which will practically void the con-
tract.
The case was appealed by Messrs
Clayton Of this city and Buck Of Ma.
rion. If they finally win out in the
matter ,as appears probable now, it
will upset many a timber contract
made at time when timber was
regarded as little more than an en-
cumbrance on the land.

TEXASELECT|ON STILL IN DOUBT
RETURNS INDICATE DEFEAT OF
PROHIBITIONISTS.
IL Seems Certain That Election Will
be Contested, Whatever May be
Final Outcome.

Dallas. Texas, July 2S.-Al re-
turns from the Statewide prohibition
election in Texas received by the
Galveston Dallas Texas News thus
far, after being subjected to the
most careful revision, give:
For prohibition, 225, ,533; against
22S,933. Anti-majority, 3,40O.
No returns have been received
from five counties, but these per-
haps have cast no more than 1000
votes. Forty-seven counties have
made only partial returns, but in
most of these only a few small box
es are missing.
The total unrepOrted vote pro-
badly will not exceed $4,000, it being
indicated that the vote pOlled was
about $4,000, which is the largest
vote ever polled in Texas, except in
1896, when 554, 900 votes were cast.
a survey of the territory not yet
reported. which is well scattered
over the State, indicates that the re-
turns yet to come hold about as
much promise for one side as the
other. and the result may be put
down as doubtful. but slightly more
in favor Of the anti's ;;ian The .ro
hibitonists.
At anti-prohibition headquarters
a majority of 5000 is claimed. The
prohibition leaders are quite as
emphatic in asserting that they have
gained a victory in the election, and
moreover they assert that frauds
have been committed. Both sides
have issued warnings that the bal
lot boxes should be carefully pre-
served, and it seems inevitable that
there will be a contest in the courts
and possibly a legislative investiga-
ion, regardless of the showing made
on the face of the returns.
