Mississippi Resort.
EXPERTS ARE UNANIMOUS.
Many Places Have Imposed Quarantine.
Oysters From the Bay, It Is Thought,
Contained Germs \Vhich Origr
inated the Disease.
Ocean Springs, Miss, ,Sept. 7.—-Dr.
Hunter, secretary of the executive
committee, has reached here from
Jacksonville via New Orleans, The
members of the Louisiana state board
of health have been hard at work in
conjunction with the representatives of
the Alabama board and the Mississippi
organization to determine the nature
of the pernicious fever which has oper-
ated so greatly to the disadvantage 01
Ocean Springs, and today decided that
it is yellow fever. The visiting doctors
visited a. large number of persons now
down with the fever, and'made bac-
teriological tests of the blood and mat-
ter vomited. ‘
Drs. Archibald of New Orleans and
' Wasdin of the Mobile United States
marine station, who is also an expert
microscopist, were all day long making
the tests, reporting from time to time
to President Oliphant of the Louisiana
board, Dr. Saunders of the 'Alabama
and Dr. Haratson of the Mississippi
board. ‘
A Thorough Investigation.
In the meantime Professor Metz, as-
sisted by Chief Sanitary Inspector
Woods and Superintendent Will, col-
lected a series of specimens of well and
cistern water and of the bay oysters,
' and also made a number of photographs
showing the existing conditions of the
town’s sanitary arrangements and
drainage. Professor Metz appears to
be of the opinion that the prevailing
95119 laint is due in a measure to a pol-
lutio of the water in the bay where

I T123“ res It of the investigations of
Professor Meta will not be made known
until his return to New Orleans, as his
analysis will not be made until then.
There has been an extensive inquiry in-
to the history of the persons who have
died and also as to the inception of the
fever. Accounts vary among the citi-
zens of Ocean Springs. It is claimed
that the first cases of the fever were
noticed among a. number of Cubanshere
who were said" to be engaged in at-
tempts to filibuster. The Cubans have
recovered, but the fever spread. There
are several cases at New Chicago, near
here.
Mobile Quarantine.
Mobile. Sept. 7.—Dr Saunders of the
state health board, having reported the
result of the examination of the fever
which has been prevailing for some
weeks at Ocean Springs, Miss, on the
bay of Biloxi, 56 miles from Mobile and
84 miles from New Orleans, the disease
being pronounced yellow fever, the Mo-
bile board of health has declared a
rigid quarantine against Ocean Springs.
All persons coming from that place or
neighborhood are 'to be deiained at a
station established outside of the city
limits.
Positively Pronounced Yellow Fever.
Jackson, Miss, Sept. 7. -—Governor
McLaurin has just received the follow-
ing telegram from the two members of
the state board of health who were sent
to Ocean Springs, Miss, to investigate
the yellow fever scare: “After a. most
thorough investigatioh in every co‘n-
ceivable light it is the unanimous Opin-
ion of representatives of the Louisiana,
Alabama and Mississippi state boards
of health and the marine hospitals that
the fever now prevailing in Ocean
Springs is yellow fever."
Ocean Springs is a pretty villag on
the gulf coast of Mississippi. It has
about 2,000 permanent inhabitants, and
in summer is a seaside resort for peo-
ple from New Orleans and Mobile. The
oysters which it is supposed contained
the germs of the disease are caught in
the Mississippi sound and transplanted
in the bay upon which Ocean Springs
fronts. In former years when yellow
fever was epidemic in New Orleans the
towns along the Mississippi coast—Bay
St. Louis, Pass Christian, Biloxi, Ocean
Springs and Pascagoula—suffcrcd more
or less from the plague, but there has
been no yellow fever in that locality
since 1878.
Rumors of a General Quarantine.
Montgomery, _Ala.., Sept. 7.——Advices
received here today state that nearly
every town and city in the south has
either already .quarantined against
Ocean Springs or has taken steps whiph
will lead to that within a day or two.
Much alarm is felt, as it is believed
that the situation is considerably more
serious even than has been reported.
The Government Investigating.
Washington, Sept. 7.-—The Marine
hospital service is investigating the
fever at Ocean Springs, Miss, and the
information so far at hand inclines
them to the belief that the disease is
yellow fever, though conclusive infor-
mation is not yet at hand. Surgeon
General VVyman is absent from the
city. He has been attending the British
Medical association meeting at Mon-
treal, and is now at Vineyard Haven
Surgeon Bailbache is in charge. The
cases at Ocean Springs were first called
to the attention of Dr. Bailbache last
Surgeon Wasdln, who is stationed at
Mobile, asking permission to accom-
pany the state board of health to Ocean
Springs to investigate the fever. Dr.
Wasdin was directed to proceed.
Surgeon General Wyman has request-
ed Dr. John Guiteras, a professor in
the University of Pennsylvania, to pro-
ceed to Ocean Springs. Dr. Guiteras
was formerly in the Marine hospital
service and is the acknowledged au—
thority on fevers in this country. Dr.
Bailbache
inquire into the result of the autopsies
and consultation, to give the number
of the inhabitants of Ocean Springs
and the number of fatalities, as well as
all other information bearing upon the
subject. His report is expected tomor-
row.

mothers Keep Them: But
With a Little Light There
Need Be None.
HOW carefully mother guards the se-
crets of her boys and girls. At night
as she carefully tucks the bed clonhs
round them she chides and warns that
mother will be angry 'if they repeat
, last night’s offense, softly saying to her-
self it’s only a habit, but I must break
them of it. This is mother’s mistake-
The children cannot help it, and sweet,
clean dry beds can be the resting place
of every child when it is understood
that the cause is not a habit but a. weak—
ness that can be cured. Active life of
the little ones tends to weakening the
kidneys and weak kidneys mean ina-
bility to retain the urine. This is a
condition not a habit, and should have
the same prompt attention you would
give to the marked symptoms of any
disease. . One Doan’s K1dney pill, taken
twice a day and at bedtime, will
strengthen the kidneys of a child, and
in a short time there will be no cause
to scold, for the so-called habit will
disappear promptly. Here’sa grateful
mother that adds her endorsement to
our words.
Mrs. William Wood who Lives at 130
Colony street, Meriden, Coun., says:
“My little boy of ten years of, age has
always been troubled with weakness of
the kidneys, causing him to wet the
bed. So many mothers punish their
children for this, but I know he could
not help it. I read about Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills curing incontinence of urine
in adults and I thought they might
help the little fellow. I procured a
box and their use produced a marked
benefit at once. It is very seldom he
does it now and I shall continue giving
him Doan’s Kidney Pills until the kid-
neys are sound and strong. It is only
out of gratitude that I permit publica-
tion, but the trouble is a very preva-
lent one and most people from modesty
or diffidence do not speak of it. Physl‘
Clans do not appear to be able to cope
with the trouble and I consider it a
motherfs duty to tell others about it
when she has found a specific for this
terrible annoyance.” '
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6
boxes for $2.50. Sent by mail on re-

Ike Burglars I‘Vere Betrayed by a Man I
\Vhosez “'agou They Had Tried to
Steal—Policeman’s Shot Deadly. ~
Only One Man Escaped.
f
Brooklyn, Sept. 7.——Thre'e burglars
were captured early today while driv-
ing away with a. wagon load of stolen
goods. In a scuffle one of the burglars
was shot dead. Another burglar es-
caped. The dead burglar was Abraham
Dorfman, 30 years old,“of 82 Avenue C.
New York. His body was taken to the
Eastern Parkway police station await-
ing the arrival of the coroner, and two
of the confederates of 'the dead burglar
were safely lodged behind. iron bars in
the same building. The police then be-
gan looking for the fourth man, WhO is
still at large.
The burglars had planned a. wholesale
raid on one of the many clothing stores
at Brownsville. They went about their
work deliberately." One of their first
steps was to steal a horse and‘a set of
Having secured this they pro-
ceeded to look for a wagon. They suc-
ceeded in finding one belonging to Philip
Cohen, a peddler. Cohen’s house is
within eight blocks of the scene of the
clothing house raid. The burglars were
prowling around Cohen’s back yard
when one of them stumbled, over a box
anj fell.
The noise awakened Cohen. Peering
out of his window he saw the burglars
at work. Hastily attiring himself he
seized his revolver and stole quietly
down stairs. He came unexpectedly
upon the thieves.
”What do you want here?” demanded
Cohen. »
“Well, I’ll tell you what we want, but
don’t make a noise. \E‘e’re after a
wagon and )vg want om; bad. We will
.—
pay~ ii‘o’u well for yours.

Cohen, 15 Clll‘lOSlty a? use... ‘~
Then the burglars told Cohen that
they were going to rob the store of
Gellar & Abrawov, clothing dealers on
Watkins street, near Livonia avenue.
“We are going to make a big haul."
continued the burglar, "and will pay
you $10 for your wagon. We haven’t
the money now, but will pay you.”
Notified the Police.
Cohen insisted, however, that he must
have the money. After considerable
backing and filling the matter was set—
tled by the burglars paying 32 to Cohen
and promising to pay the balance.
Thereapon the horse was hurriedly
hitched to the wagon, and the four bur-
glars jumped in and drove away. As
soon as they disappeared Cohen ran
around to the Eastern Parkway police
station house.
Sergeant Blarney was behind the
desk when Cohen walked in and star-
tled the policeman by telling him about
the thieves. ,
“And if you want to get them you
had better hurry up, for they won’t be
long about it. They’re pretty slick ar-
ticles.”
Sergeant Blarney was inclined to
doubt Cohen’s story, but decided to in-
vestigate it nowithstanding. He called
out Roundsman William Gaughran and
directed him to take with him Police-
men Coffey and Payton and move cau-
tiously upon Gellar & Abrawov’s.
- The three bluecoats ran quickly down
the street. As they approached the
store they saw a wagon standing out
in front and dark figures with large
bundles in their arms going back and
forth. Roundsman Gaughran and the
two policemen then realized that Cohen
was telling the truth. The policemen
approached the tailor shop as close as
they thought wise and then stopped.
Policeman Gaughran stole around in
the rear of the store. Meanwhile the
burglars worked with great dispatch.
All four busied themselVes in carry-
ing huge bundles of men’s and boys’
clothing out to the street and dumping
them into the wagon. The work was
done with effrontery, for the burglars
had forced the lock from the front
door, and there was no effort made at
concealment. After bundling about
$700 worth of clothing into the wagon
and loading it down to its utmost ca.-
pucity, they got in and drove leisurely
toward Eastern Parkway, leaving the
front door of the. store Wide open be-
hind them.
One Robber Killed.
Two of the burglars sat on the seat
in front and the other two in the rear
on- the bundles of clothing. Rounds—
nian Gaughran came out of hiding and
started in pursuit, with the other two
policemen following in his trail.
When within 50 feet of the wagon.
Roundsman Gaughran drew his revolv-
er and called to the burglars to halt.
There was no response to his demand.
The two men on the front seat sprang
to the ground. Roundsman Gaughran
raised his revolver and fired. The bul-
let struck Dorfman, who was driving
the wagon, in the back of the head,
and he fell dead to the pavement.
The other man at his side escaped.
The two burglars on the rear of the
wagon slid down over the tailboard and
were cowering‘under the wagon when
the policemen came up. It was be-
lieved by the police that Dorfman was
shamming. There was a possibility
that he was Wounded, the policemen
thought, but nothing more.
Accordingly, scant courtesy was
shown to him. The policemen threw
the body on to the wagon, and, slipping
the nippers on the other two men.
drove the entire outfit around to the
station house.
Dorfman was carried into the station
house. It was then noticed that blood
was trickling from a bullet wound in
his head. Sergeant Blarney. imme-
diately sent for Dr. Louis Adlerman.
who lives next door. An ambulance
call was also sent in to St. John’s hos-
pital. In a few minutes Dr. Adlerman
and Ambulance Surgeon Graves were
on the scene. A glance satisfied them
that the man was dead.
