New Orleans, Sept. 25. —More eases
have been reported here tonight than
for any other day since the fever be
gan. Seventeen new cases and two
daeths are the records up to late to
night,
The fever has broken out at a num
ber of new points.
The weather continues cool here.
Cool weather is dangerous iu the cases
of those who are ill and the physicians
think it is increasing the death rate,
which now approximates 16 per cent.
The Beauregard school is being gotten
into shape for reception of yellow fever
patients. Threats continue to be made
by angry citizens, but so large a force
guarded the buildings during the night
that there was no opportunity for any
one to apply the torch. Mayor Flower
has received numerous offers from citi
zens to do guard duty.
The board of health and the mercan
tile community are receiving encourag
ing reports from various towns which
have quarantined against New Orleans,
announcing relaxation of quarantine
regulations.
Dr. Montluziu, who is to be prose
cuted by the board of health for his
failure to report the Dreyfus case, which
terminated fatally, says that he notified
the board as soon as he had completed
his diagnosis. The law, however, pro
vides that every case as to which the
least suspicion exists shall be reported
and thia law is to be brought into oper
ation in the prosecution of Drs. Holt and
Montluzin.
Commercial people have written to
Governor Foster asking him to use his
good offices in securing a modification
of quarantine regulations. The gover- •
nor will act in the premises..
Dr. Summers of St. Louis, who was
s?nt by the Tennessee board of health
along the vellow fever district to study
the prevailing disease, spent the day in
this city and then left for home.
ALL IS QUIET IN ATLANTA.
£care Following: the Announcement of
One Case Has Subsided.
Atlanta, Sept 25.—N0 new cases of
yellow fever have developed here and
the breeze of excitement that followed
the announcement Friday of a patient
at 119 Auburn avenue has about sub
sided. The sick girl. Miss Carrie Flem
ing, who came here from Mobile, seems
to be progressing favorably and the in
dications are that she will recover.
Guards have been placed about the
house in which the sick young lady is
located, and no one but* physiciansis
allowed to enter. Those who are in the
house are not allowed to leave it under
any circumstances.
While the board of health has no fear
that the fever will spread from the case
now here, they will take every precau
tion to see that no one comes in contact
with the sick girl.
Refugees arriving from Mobile and
New Orleans say that those two cities
are unusually quiet, and it seems al
most like Sunday there every day.
BURNED BRIDGES REBUILT.
New Orlran. and Northwestern la Again

Natchez, Miss., Sept. 25.—The New
Orleans and "Northwestern railroad has
restored its burned bridges and is again
carrying freight and mail, but no pas
sengers. The boards of health of this
city and county have appointed inspec
tors iu the surrounding country whose
certificates of uoninfection of cotton and
drivers of wagons will gain them access
to Natchez and partly raise the embargo
on the great staule about which some of
the business men have complained so
bitterly. There is great scarcity of coun
try produce, while some stocks of gro
ceries and provisions are giving out and
prices aie high.
Seven parties seeking entrance to the
city have been sent to the aeteution
camp to undergo the regular term of
isolation

Fever Hurtlug Nashville*. Fair.
Indianapolis, Sept. 25.—At a meet
ing of the governor and other state
officers it was decided to indefinitely
postpone the celebration of Indiana
day at the Centennial exposition at
Nashville. The day had been set for
Oct. 4. Yellow fever in the south com
pelled the state authorities to take this
action. They do not feel that there is
actual danger in carrying out the orig
inal program, but that caution under
the circumstances is necessary and that
they could not reasonably do otherwise
than postpone the day. Indiana day
will be celebrated during the closing
days of the exposition.

THE ROME TRIBUNE. SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 1891.
CHICAGO’S MURDER CASE.
Newspaper May leitlfy Against tha
Manufacturer.
Chicago. Sept. 23.—State’s Attorney
Dineen, Assistant State’s Attorney Wil
lard M. McEwen and Inspector A. J.
Schaack had a consultation during
which the matter of calling of Ford
Haines, an ex-newspaper writer, to the
Witness stand was discussed. Haines
is under conviction for forgery, '
Last August he was sentenced to the
penitentiary by Judge Neely. After
ward, through the influence of friends,
the sentence was vacated and the case
taken under advisement. Haines has
acted as a sort of confidential secretary
for Luetgert in the jail and has written
a number of letters for him.
It is said that Haines asserts that he
■wrote letters to a W. O. Grottey of
New York in which he said Grottey
was asked to come to Chicago aud say
that he saw Mrs. Luetgert in New York
a week after her disappearance.
The first witness called was Mary
Siemmering, Luetgert’s servant girl,
for love of whom it is alleged he killed
his wife. There was a general craning
of necks aud many people iu the crowded
courtroom rose to get a better glimpse
of the young woman as she ascended to
the witness stand. Her face was flashed
as she held up her light hand to be
sworn by the court clerk. She was evi
dently under suppressed excitement.
Attorney Phalau conducted the direct
examination. Under his guidance the
witness related what she said was the
whole truth about her experience with
-the Luetgert family. She had lived
with-the Luetgerts for seven or eight
years as a domestic. During all that
time the witness said Luetgert had
treated his wife kindly and there was
none of the quarreling aud bickering
the prosecution charged. Coming down
to May 1, the date of Mrs. Luetgert’s
disappearance, the witness said that on
the afternoon of that Mrs. Luetgert
said:
•‘Mary, I am going to leave. My hus
band’s money is all gone, and I am go
ing. too.
The witness with a show of spirit de
nied that she had ever visited Luetgert
in his factory at night except in the
evening ocoasioually when others were
present. Even then she said she did
not go to see him particularly, but just
to take a walk from the hous». She
denied emphatically that she went into
the factory through a window and that
Luetgert was in the habit of kissing
her when she was in his office.
VERY IMPORTANT RULING.
Lowndesville Baik's Stockholders Are
Held Doubly Liable,
Abbeville, S. 0., Sept. 25.—The case
of W. H. Parker, aud others, versus
Carolina Savings bank, which was heard
by Walter L. Miller, master of Abbe
ville county, on Aug. 17 last, has been
decided. The case involved the con
struction of the South Carolina consti
tution of 1868. That constitution made
the stockholders of corporations liable
“to the amount of their respective share
or shares of stock.’* The question be
fore the court was. did that mean a sin
gle or double liability ? Did it mean
that in case a bank failed the stock- ‘
holders simply forfeited their stock, or i
did they loose in addition a sum equal '
to the amount of their stock. I
The master filed his report in favor of
the latter construction—a double lia
bility. He held that the liability of
stockholders under the constitution of
1868 aud the statute was 105 per cent in
addition to a forfeiture of the stock.
The case mentioned above is an effort
on the part of the creditors of the
creditors of the Lowndesville bank to
hold the stockholders liable.
It involves an important constitu
tional question and will excite general
interest throughout the county. All of
the Abbeville bar and most of the An
derson bar are engaged iff it.
McKinley In the Barksiifrat.
Lenox, Mass., Sept. 25.—President
McKinley aud his party had splendid
weather for his second day iu the Berk
shires. “The most enchanting view 1
ever had,” was the president’s exclama
tion, as he stood upon the veranda of
the Sloane mansion, from which the eye
ean take in the landscape for 20 miles
to the south, while Greylock mountains,
40 miles away, is plainly visible to the
northward. President and Mrs. Mc-
Kinley were much interested iu Lenox,
the summer home of millionaires and
many prominent people, and in the
many historic memories that cluster
about the town.
Alleged Wfiiteoaps Acquitted.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 25. —The jury
in the case of the citizens of Fairfield
and Kershaw counties, charged with
Whitecapping Mormon elders, returned
a verdict of not guilty. The accused
were charged with whipping Mormons,
burning their church and persecuting
them The evidence was pretty strong
against them,, bur, because of intense
feeling in the county caused by reports
of immorality of the Mormans convic
tion was not expected. The elders say
they will continue their work.

Paris, Sept. 35.—The Gaulois says

A NEW GERMAN MINISTER.
.William Send* an Accomplinlied English
■‘cholar to Waidiington.
Washington, Sept. 25. The new
German ambassador, Dr. Von Holleben,
will arrive here the latter part of next
month and will be received by the pres
ident soon after the latter’s return for
the winter.
Recent letters to the state department
from the United States embassy at Ber
lin speak in the highest terms of the
new ambassador. One of them states
that Emperor William referred to the
appointment while speaking to Mr.
Jackson, secretary*of the United States
embassy, and said he had been moved
to make the selection because of Dr.
Von Hollben’s knowledge of the Eng
lish language which, the emperor re
marked, would be of material benefit at
this time.
The authorities here have no advices
thus far from Germany on the subject
of a reciprocity treaty under the new
tariff law and it is believed that such
steps as are taken in that line will be
through Ambassador White at Berlin.
It is regarded as a favorable circum
stance that our ambassador is an ac
complished German scholar, and that
the emperor in turn has selected an ac
complished English scholar to represent
Germany here.
REBELLION IN GUATEMALA.
United States Interests Threatened as a
Result of the Uprising.
Washington, Sept. 25.—The gravity
of the existing insurrection in Guate
mala is exhibited in the following tele
gram received at the state department
from Sam T, Lord, acting United States
consular agent, dated at Quezaltenango:
“I left Champerico and am in Que
zalteuango with the object of protect
ing American interests. Communica
tion with the Guatemalan capital is in
terrupted. The city of Quezaltenango
has been under fire and bombarded for
24 hours and is now in the hands of the
opposition general. Bombardment by
the government forces is feared. Great
American interests are threatened.”
The town of Quezaitenaugo, of which
Mr. Lord speaks, lies about 75 miles in
land, so that it is hardly possible for our
government to extend any relief in the
way of a naval force.
