Situat‘iop In the Infected Dis-
tricts in Mississippi.
New Orleans, Sept. 25,—Efiicient work
by the fire department in face of the
attacks of a 'mob early today saved the
main portion of the Beauregard school
building, which was to have been used
as a hospital, and which was set on fire
by the mob. Only- the annexes of the
structure were reduced to ashes. The
alarm was sounded at 12:30. After the
mass meeting of the citizens held last
night a riotous crowd gathered around
the building and openly threatened that
at the first opportunity they would set
fire to it.
Throughout last evening Sister Agnes
and a number of sisters of charity, to-
gether with help from the hospital, had
i been putting the building in order. for
the reception of yellow fever patients.
The school board in the meantime had
removed from the building every desk-
and other article of furniture, and the
hospital people had moved into the
building cots and other necessary ad—
juncts for the treatment of yellow fe-
ver patients.
At nightfall Surgeon Bloom of the
hospital, the sisters and others had been
warned that they would best leave the
building. They did so, headed by Sis-
ter Agnes, and threaded their way
through a dense crowd of panic strick-
en citizens. Then a small force of po-
lice was ordered to the scene. But the
mob, bent on incendiarism, was sharp-
er than the guards, and, while the po—
lice were busily engaged in attempting
to quell the riotous crowd in front of
the building; two'men with a five gallon
can of oil proceeded to the rear and
quickly 'had the building in flames.
Police Beat the Mob Back.
An alarm was turned in, but the first
neighboring engine had scarcely arrived
when its hose was cut. When other en-
gines arrived, their hose also was de-
stroyed by the mob. Chief Caster and
Captain J ournee finally arrived in a pa-
trol wagon with a big squad of officers,
which beat the mob back. Then the
firemen went actively to work and suc-
ceeded in preventing the destruction of
the entire building.
The action of the mob is denounced
on all sides today. The school is a
handsome building, isolated and situ-
ated in the center of a large square.
There was no danger of infection from
it, and the people in the neighborhood
are unduly alarmed. Unless, however,
a company of soldiers is ordered out to
protect the building, it is not improb-
able that a second attempt will be made
to destroy it.
There is only one
fever reported.
man living on Bourbon street, and he
is reported to be in a dangerous condi-
tion.
Three deaths have occurred from yel-
low fever today, as follows: Salvador
Casinar, Fred Gund and Miss Drefus.

The Situation at Biloxi.
Biloxi, Miss, Sept. 25.——There are a
few new cases of yellow fever here, but
not as many as were reported on Tues-
‘day and Wednesday. Physicians state
that the weather conditions now exist-
ing—clear and cool—are highly favor-
able for preventing a spread of the in-
fection. The impression is general here
that there are numerous cases not
known outside of the immediate fami-
lies of the patients. The board of health
reports: Yellow fever cases under treat-
.ment, 30; suspicious, 5; other cases, 8;
total cases fever to date, 58; new cases
today, 3.
New Cases at Edwards.
Edwards, MiSS., Sept. 25.—New cases
pf yellow fever are: Whites, Miss Ula
Geode, Leroy Ratcliffe, Miss Marie
Lewis, A: J. Lewis, Sr., Miss Willie
Ross, Mrs. S. E Birdsong, R. W. El-
liott, Mrs. R. W. Elliott, E. K. Noblin;
colored, A. J. Jones, Mary Jones, Nancy
’Smith; total today, 12; total to date,
112. ‘
'Frank Rossman had black vomit all
\night and is in a. dangerous condition.
All others reported seriously ill yester-
day are doing well. ' ‘
No case‘s are reported discharged to-
day. Cases under treatment have in-
creased to 76, with but four physicians.
Their energies are sorely taxed. We
need more doctors. Our people as, a
rule are averse to appealing to the
outside, world for assistance except for
nurses and doctors, but the disease is
- spreading so rapidly and many of the
poorer classes are included in the list,
who are unable to bear any‘Tpart of
their burden, and there is no denying
the fact that we will in the near future
have to accept the help that has .so
generously been offered from various
points. While we are so sOrely afflicted
with the scourge which causes so much
anxiety and suffering, yet it .is mild
and the fatality so small that we feel
we have much to be thankful for.
Another Death at Mobile.
Mobile, ..Ala., Sept. Zia—Rev. Father.
Daniel Murray, the fifth victim of the
yellow fever here, died today. He was
a native of County Cork," aged 30,.and'
had been in this country four years.
He had been located near Birmingham,
Ala., and at Montgomery. He had in-
tended to take a vacation this fall, but
hearing that Father McQuillan was at:-
sent here offered his services. '
The Cairo Case.
Cairo, 1118., Sept. 25.—-Stevens, the ye]-
low, fever patient on the dredgeboat
Alpha, has had/a relapse. Dr. Cobb of
the marine service has charge of the
case. The two patients at the, marine
hospital are doing well.

" ‘ ‘THI: LURTCRRT TRIAL. ;
The Sensational Evidence of Witnesses
, For the Defense.
Chicago, Sept. 25.—The defense in the
Luetgert trial today devoted itself to
strengthening the story that Mrs. Luet~
gert, who, according .to the/theory of
,. the prosecution, was murdered May 1,
had been seen in and around Kenosha,
Wis., on May 3, 4 and 5. Two witnesses,
» one of whom had known Mrs. Luetgert
for seven years, positively identified a
photograph of Mrs.‘Luetgert as the pic-
ture of the woman they saw at Kenosha
on the dates mentioned.
Mrs. Mattie Scherer, Miss Maud
Scherer and Miss Gertrude Miller testi-
fied today that Emma Schimpke, since
she had testified for the prosecution,
had said in their hearing that her evi-
dence'was entirely false. She said the
only reason she testified falsely was to
support the evidence of her sister Gott-
lieba, who had at first lied. Frank
Schlebe, a farmer who lives near Ke-
nosha, Wis., who had known Mrs. Luet-
gert for seven years, testified that he
met her on a country road near that
town on May 4. He said he did not rec-
ognize the woman, but he was attracted
by her worn and generally exhausted
appearance. Afterward when he learn-
ed that Mrs. 'Luetgert was missing and
read a descr tion of the clothing she
wore‘when sh disappeared he was con-
fident he had seen her and that the
strange woman he met on the road was
she.
Policeman William Smith of Kenosha
told of seeing a strange woman at the
Northwestern railroad depot in Keno—
sha at 2 o’clock on the morning of May
5. He positively identified the photo-
graph of Mrs. Luetgert as the woman
he saw at the depot. The policemen
described the woman and her'attire.
