Another Death at New Orleans—Reports
From Cairo, Ills., and Ocean Springs
and Biloxi, 1IIiss.—Dr. Guitera’s
Dispatch Boat Sunk.
Louisville, Sept. 24.—-—T-he second case
of yellow fever in this city was an-
nounced today by Health Officer White.
- The first case was that of Frank De
Rumsey, who died at an infirmary here
on Aug. 16. Mr. De Rumsey came here
from Ocean Springs, Miss. Soon after
his arrival. he was taken ill. He was
immediately removed to the infirmary,
where he died in a few days. Every
precaution was taken and there was no
spread of the disease.
The second case is that of John Mc-
Dougall, a. machinist in the Louisville
and Nashville railroad shops at Mobile.
He arrived here from Mobile on Sept. 9
and was taken ill last Wednesday. As
his illness. showed peculiar symptoms,
Health Officer White was called in con—
sultation. The doctors watched the
terday morning that they were able to
diagnose it as yellow fever. As soon as
they were sure, Health Officer White
had McDougall conveyed to the deten-
tion hospital.
Dr. White said that the frost of the
last few nights would probably prevent
any one in Louisville from contracting
yellow fever.
The Situation at Ocean Springs.
Ocean Springs, Miss, Sept. 24.———Mr.
F. M. Wood is convalescent; Miss Lau-
ra. Atkins, who has been very ill, is im-
proving; Mrs. L. C. Kerr and Mrs.
Clements are able to be out, and the six
other yellow fever patients are doing
well. Seven new cases are reported.
Surgeon Eugene Wasdin was able to
be about. The marine hospital service
has furnished a full bacteriological Out-
fit from Washington for the use of Sur-
geon Wasdin, who will make a careful
investigation of the causes of the yel-
low fever as soon as possible.
At Biloxl, Miss.
Biloxi, Miss, Sept. 24.-—There were
one death from yellow fever and five
new cases at this place. The patient.
who died was Michael Levy. The new
cases were Dr. J. M. Wright, J. W.
Sweetman, druggist; Mrs. J. W. Sweet—
man, Ellis Hays Of The Gulf Coast.
News and F. H. Benedict of The Re-
view.
New Cases at Edwards.
Edwards, Miss, Sept. 24.—New cases
of yellow fever reported are as follows:
Mrs. Dr. Pool, Dr. W. A. Rattlif, Miss
Martin, W. G. Redfield, George Waib-
linger, Mrs. Scott Noblin, C. H. Noblin,
Frank White and Josephine Saunders.
There are the usual quota of suspects
not yet seen by the doctors. All, so far
as heard from, are doing fairly well.
Mrs. Greaves, who has been dangerous—
ly sick, is reported improving, and the
situation looks more cheerful. There
is now a total of 90 cases of yellow
fever here.
Guiteras’ Mission.
Memphis, Sept. 24.——Dr. John Guite-
ras, the government expert, passed
through here bound for Cairo. He was
on board the government tug Minne-
tonka, used as a dispatch boat for the
dredging fleet. His mission was to trace
the origin of two cases of fever at Cairo.
Early today at a point near Gold Dust
the tug sank. The doctor and the crew
made their way to the shore in boats.
The physician proceeded to Memphis on
another boat. He left Cairo by rail.
The Cairo Cases.
Cairo, 1115., Sept. 24.——The two yellow
fever patients in the marine hospital
here are improving rapidly. The al-
leged case at East Cairo also is conva-
lescent. The quarantine against the
marine hospital will be raised.
Two Deaths at New Orleans.
New Orleans, Sept. 24.—NO new cases
of yellow fever have been reported to
the board of health today. Four of the
patients are considered still to be in a
dangerous condition. The others are all
doing well, and the sanitary officers and
health authorities expect to be able in a
few days to announce that the fever
has been completely stamped out. The
patients on St. Cloud street, except in
one house, are nearly Well. The tem-
perature today was lower than for any
day this week, and last night was ex-
tremely cool. However scientists may
differ as to the effect of low tempera-
ture on the spread of yellow fever, the
change here has had the effect of in-
creasing public confidence and . of
strengthening faith in the opinion of
Dr. Touatre that there is no danger
here of an epidemic.
The city council will hold a special
session to consider the arrangement
made yesterday by which the city’s
financial agents are to advance $25,000
to the board of health to assist it in car-
rying on its fight against yellow fever.
Some objection has been made by coun-
ciimen on the ground that the money
ought to be expended by 'the city and
that the state ought to make provision
for the work of the board of health.
Requests are being made to the board
of health to close the theaters. No ac-
tion has been taken, however.
Just after 10 o'clock two deaths from
yellow fever were reported at the board
of health.

STOLE A WOMAN.
Queer Happenings In Missouri, \Vith Sug-
gestiom of a Lynching.
Warrensburg, Mo., Sept.
sensational charges are made as a re-
‘ suit of the alleged abduction of Mrs.
Stiil, a young farmer’s wife, who is al-
leged to have been taken from her hus-
band by two young men Of this county
and held a. prisoner by them for nearly
a, week.
. Developments have deterred Prose-
cuting Attorney Bradley from releas-
ing the prisoners, Jackson and Mc-
Keehan, who are charged with having
abducted the woman, as he believes
that, had he released them, both would
have been lynched.
Last Sunday Prosecuting Attorney
Bradley was taken into the woods by
friends of the two culprits, and there he
saw the Still woman in apparent revel-
ry with a. crowd of young men and was
told by her she had left her husband
voluntarily and would not return to
him. This fact at first prompted him
to release the prisoners.
Mrs. Still and her husband are to-
gether again at the home of a relative
at Knob Noster, and today she told At-
torney Bradley a new story of the af-
fair. ’
She states that the tw0 men who took
her from her husband on the highroad
on'the 13th inst. kept her a prisoner two
days in an abandoned cabin in the
woods, then sent her to her mother’s
home at Sulphur Springs.
After the arrest of Jackson and Mc-
Keehan, she says, two men, claiming to
be the sheriff of Johnson county and
his deputy, came to her mother's house
and told her that her husband was un-
der arrest for shooting at some men,
and that her evidence was necessary
to keep him out of the penitentiary.
She went with them and was com—
pelled by them under the fear of her
life to furnish the Sunday scene in the
woods and tell the story she told.
The greatest excitement prevails
throughout the county, and the pre-
liminary trial Of Jackson and McKee-
han on Monday next at Leeton prom-
ises to be followed by more startling
events.
Talk of lynching is common.
Tracy’s Name Suggested.
New York, Sept. 24.—General B. F.
Tracy, former secretary of the navy
and president of the Greater New York
charter commission, is to be nominated
for mayor by the Republican city con-
vention _ if he will agree to accept.
The Republican leaders have had sev-
eral conferences about the situation
during the past 24 hours. District At—
torney Olcott does not want the nomi-
nation and had reluctantly consented
to take it if he were the choice of the
convention.
To Make Structural Iron.
Cleveland, Sept. 24.—-About 20 repre-
sentatives of bridge building concerns
located in the territory between Chi-
cago and Philadelphia have been meet-
ing in this city during the last few
days. Their purpose is to make their
own structural iron, and they claim
that they have been forced to this ac-
tion by high prices put upon them by
iron manufacturers.

9., Lippman’s Great Remedy, Saves
a Man From Becoming a Cripple.
r. Asa Ammons. a. well-known
en of Jacksonville, Florida, was
‘ted by a terrible ulcer. Medical
seemed unavailing in stopping the
yes of the terrible disease. The
was swollen and intensely painful,
the ulcer had eaten its way down
0 the very bone. All medicines and
.reutincnts having failed to effect a
cure. the doctors said the leg must
come off. Just when it seemed that
M r. Ammons would beéome a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P.,
Lippman's Great Remedy, and the re-
sult was wonderful.
P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG.
“ Jacksonville, Fla, July 1, 1895.—
Two years ago I had the worst ulcer
on my leg 1 ever saw. It had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged 3
most offensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot castile
soap suds. It began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-dav
a sound and useful leg.
" i think l’. P. P.. Lippman's Great
Remedy. is all a man could ask for as
a blood purifier. as I have known it to
cure so incterrible cases of blood poi-
soning in a remarkably short time.
