NO FURTHER CASES ire Anticipated By the Physicians of New Orleans ‘THE SITUATION IS NOT SO SERIOUS (Detention Camp to be Placed at Waynesville, Ga. IHE QUARANTINES MAY BE RAISED Expert* of the Government bent to Ocean Springe to Take Charge of tbe Cases. A Report Corrected. New Orleans, Sept 7.—lt was con siderably after midnight when the board of health office closed for a few hours and the tired physicians went home to snatch a few hours rest Up to that time, although.the wildest publicity had been given to the Gelpi case and the desire of the 'board was known that every suspicious case should be promptly reported, no news was received at the office that leads to the belief that there existed a single case of yellow fever in New Orleans. The office was reopened very early, but un to 9 o’clock no report was made of any suspicious cases. The board will hold another meeting to act on quarantine regulations and there will be informal conferences daily while the scare lasts. It is understood that at the meeting there will be some modification of regulations already adopted quarantining the entire coast, and steps will be taken to allow resi dents of New Orleans, who are sojourn ing at unaffected ports, to return to the city after having been properly ex amined and furnished with certificates that they have not been in proximity to any cases of yellow fever. • Quarantine* May Be Raised. Although the action of Mobile and Galveston in quarantining New Orleans is naturally resented, there is no dispo sition here to retaliate unless fever shall appear in one or both of these cities. Many small towns in Mississippi and Louisiana have quarantined against New Orleans, but the barriers are likely to be raised at once if no new cases de velop here. In the meantime the phy sicians are unshaken .in the belief that such a cordon can be drawn around the Gelpi residence as to prevent the spread of the sickness. Dr. H. A. Gant of Water Valley, member of the state board of health, has taken charge of the situation at Ocean Springs and will spare neither pains nor money in an effort to stamp out the prevailing fever. It is the opin ion that with care and good manage ment this can be done in a very few days. All houses where the fever has been or may be will be thoroughly looked after and the sick isolated. The board has put out disinfectants in all principal streets and the town will be strewn with lye from one end to the other. Excitement la About Over. The exoitement has quieted down considerably and the people, now that the first scare is over, see things are no worse than they have been ail along and, in fact, are better, as one newspa per reported, in the past 24 hours, and there are but three socalled suspicious cases among the fever patients in town. All of the patients are doiqg well. The duration of the fever is only from 24 to 48 hours and some of the patients do not take to their beds at all from the disease. The Louisiana board of health has a record of all the people who have come from Ocean Springs in the last few days and is giving strict attention to all of them. EXPERTS FOR EPIDEMIC. Dr*. Gulteriu, Murray and barter Or dered to Ocean Spring*. Washington, Sept. 7.—ln addition to Dr. Guiteras, Drs. Murray and Garter, also yellow fever experts, have been or dered by the marine hospital authori ties to the scene of the epidemic at Ocean Springs. The following order was telegraphed to Past Assistant Sur geon Wosdiu at Mobile: "Until a cordon is established, have railroad officials sell tickets only to rail road points north of Washington, or points in mountain districts, and keep record of all who leave with points of -their destination, notifying local au thorities.

"Such a change is hoped for by the administration, for the reason that it is believed the Liberals would pursue a course in regard to Cuba very different from that followed by the Conserva tives both before and since the death of Senor Canovas and that if Senor Sa gasta came into power he would receive with favor the new offers of the United States government to bring about an end of the insurrection which Minister Woodford is to make.’’ Veterinary- surgeon* in 'eaion.

A RIOT NEAR PITTSBURG. Striking Coal Al Inara, Headed by Women, the Deputy -lieriCs. Pittsburg, Sept. 7.—The efforts to evict the striking miners of the Pitts burg and Chicago Gas company at Or angeville, miles from Cantonville, resulted in a riot of no mean propor tions When it became known that lhe evictions were to be attempted, the whole vicinity about Finleyville, Gas tonville and Orangeville became wildly excited. About 7 pm. deputies from Wash ington, Pa., in charge of Deputy Joseph Hemphill, reached Finleyville, where they were met by a large crowd of strikers and their friends. Each deputy •was armed with a Winchester rifle and a revolver, but in spite of this rhe strikers, headed by 100 Polish women, closed in ou them and the deputies re ceived rough treatment. They were gradually forced back and finally re treated to Gastonville, where they were followed by a crowd of about 200 men and women. At 7. a. m. the trouble of the .night .reached a plimax when the depuries sallied out from their besieged quarters and started to march td’ Orangeville Each one carried his Winchester in his hands and his revolver was exposed, but these had no terrors for tbe besiegers. Headed by the same women the strikers rushed into the deputies with stones, clubs and pick handles and the blows fell thick and fast. One of the women wrested a rifle from a deputy’s hands hands and struck him on the head with it. inflicting serious injury. By this time 1,000 men, women and children bad joined the crowd. The deputies slowly made trieir way to Orangeville, taking all the above in sults and injuries, but never firing a shot There they took refuge in a va cant house, closely followed by a mob who surrounded the building and threat ened to burn it. Finally one of the strikers approached the house with a flag of truce and a conference was held. The deputies were ordered to leave town, and after a short parley, decided to do so. They emerged from the house a badly scared lot of men, and walking between the open ranks of strikers, started for Gastonville. Almost every man in the posse was cut and bleeding and several were seriously hurt. After their departure rhe mob disappeared and everything is quiet now. DEPUTIES WERE DELAYE D, The Cuban Congre** Did Not Convene on sept. 2, a* Planned. New York, Sept. 7.—A dispatch to The Herald from Havana says: It is reported here ou reliable authority that the meeting of the constituent assem bly, which was to have taken place ou Sept. 2 at Oamaguey, was postponed. The reason for the postponement of tin convention which is to elect a new pres ident of the Cuban republic is not yel known here. It is, however, surmised that the cause for delay is the nouar rival at Camaguey on the day fixed foi the meeting of the the assembly, oi some of the deputies representing the fourth, fifth and sixth army corps. It is explained by the insurgents in this city that the bad condition of the roads at this season of the year in Cuba renders very difficult the march of the men who are to reach Oamaguey from Pinar del Rio, Havana, Matanzas and Las Villas in order to take part in the election. The passage of the Jucaro- Moron trocha is one of the many seri ous obstac.es which the contingent ol troops accompanying tbe eastern depu ties will have to overcome before they reach the meeting place of the assembly.

During the voyage many efforts were made to draw Mr. Croker out on the subject, but not only to newspaper cor respondents, but to his taost intimate friends on board, did he decline to state his purpose. The understanding among Mr. Croker’s friends, however, is that he is very strongly inclined to permit the use of his name as a candidate for mayor, though he is naturally un willing that an announcement should be made to this effect before he has had an opportunity to confer with his lieu tenants. "1 nave not the slightest doubt that Tammany Hall will carry the greater city by 50,000 votes and upward,” said Mr. Croker to a correspondent of the Associated Press. "New York never had one reform ad ministration alter another. One such government appears to be all the people can stand in on» decade. The present socalled reform administration has been chiefly noted for its increase of tax rate accompanied by higher appraisement.

Hyuum the Main Speaker. Oolumbus, 0., Sept. 7.—The state gold Democratic convention will assem ble Wednesday, when district meetings will be held. The convention proper is to meet on Thursday. Mr. Bynum of Indiana is to be the principal speaker. The purpose is to nominate a full state ticKet. The Columbus contingent have decided to put up candidates for state senator, representatives in the legisla ture and suggest to other counties to follow suit. The feeling atno'ig the gold Demo crats is that since some of the party may, or would not vote for the gold ticket of any other party, it is best to give them gold Democratic candidates. The convention will meet in tbe Great Southern theater. The party will have to petition to get on the ballot. They claim that the vote in Ohio for the gold candidates for president last fall did not represent the full strength of the na tional gold Democrats, as many of them voted otherwise to make sure of the success of the McKinley ticket. Judge Clark of Youngstown is urged as a candidate for governor. The rep resentatives in the legislature number 42. It is practically settled shat John G. Carlisle will not be at the conven tion as expected. £ Increase Your Trade. $ * A Klondike Strike * * By advertising in The £ * Tribune. * $ Best medium in North Georgia J PRICE FIVE CENTS LUETGERT’S LETTERS Reading of Love Missives Seat to Widow Feldt. Crltidlses His Leading Attorney in Letters as Being “Greedy.” Prisoner Embarrassed. Chicago, Sept. 7.—When Luetgert. the alleged wife murderer, eptered Judge Tuthill’s courtroom he smiled and nodded to the jury, but failed to extend the sweep of his sknile to tha crowd. The first business taken up was the reading of translations of letters writ ten by the defendant to Mrs. Christine Feldt. The reading of the fond mis sives sent by Luetgert to the widow oc cupied much time, several beiug very lengthy. While Assistant State’s At torney McEwen read the epistles the jury listened carefully. The reader was careful to place due emphasis on each endearing word ot phrase or fully emphasize all reference to the fact that the big sausage manu facturer was anxious for the time to come when he would be free to wed the object of his affections. When those portions of the letters containing refer ence to Lnetgert’s trouble in engaging attorneys were read' aloud it evidently embarrassed the prisoner. Luetgert’s leading attotney, ex-Judge Vincent, paled and the prisoner visibly winced when the sentence was heard in which Attorney Vincent was termed “greedy.” The letter continued to state t-hat Luetgert intended to release Attorney Vincent, as he did not consider bim able to handle so important a case. Attorney Vincent shook with silent laughter several times during the above and similar reference. He seemed tc regard the matter as a huge joke. Luet gert, whose chances for life were so considerably reduced by the introduc tion of the letters as evidence, rocked to and fro in his chair and occasionally forced a sickly smile during the endear ing passages in the letter. After the letters were read, the re cipient, Mrs. Christine Feldt, a middle aged woman, was called to the witness chair for the purpose of finishing hei testimony for the state. ALL DETAILS ARRANGED.
