Town, ;IT IS STILL VERY BAD AT EDWARDS Days Hot and Nights Chilly Unfavorable Weather THE PEOPLE ARE PRATING FOR FROST Wilmington, N. C., Charges For Health Cer- tificates—No New Cases Developed in Atlanta • ( New Oblean, Sept. 27.—Twenty one new cases and two deaths have been reported up to late tonight. Dr. John Guiteras, the noted yellow fever expert, engaged by the marine . hospital authorities, arrived here on a special train shortly after 3 a. m. and immediately went to the St. Charles hotel, where he retired. He has not yet made known his intentions as to when he will proceed to Texas, where it is his intention to examine into the fever prevailing at Gaiveston and other points. The doctor came from Vicks burg and was very much fatigued. The Southern Pacific is making arrange ments for a special train to leave here on Wednesday. Dr. Carter of the ma rine hospital service and President Oli phant will be aboard. It is also expected that Dr. Swearingen of Tex is will join the party. The train will stop at vari ous points on the Southern and Texas Pacific roads between here and Shreve port and gather up health officers iu the different parishes and towns for a con ference to deeide upon a united line of action in the matter of quarantines against infeotad points and the handling of property disinfected and vouchered for merchants in New Orleans. There is some, anxiety among plant ers about obtaining laborers to work in fields and sugar houses. The labor thus employed is from New Orleans and the rigidity of the quarantine regulations has made it well nigh impossible for planters to get the help they require. Terre Bonne has set an example, how ever, that may be followed by other parishes. It provides for detention of laborers at the quarantine camp at the mouth of the river for' a limited period. From ttfe detention Camp the laborers will be subsequently permitted to enter Terre Bonne. No attempt was made during the night to destroy the Beanregard school, Which is being used as a fever hospital, and the authorities expect to remove a number of patients to the institution soon. The mayor will properly guard the building at night, though, in spite of threats, it is not thought that the building will again be attacked. SITUATION AT SAVANNAH. Sanitary Board Report* Everything at Being In Excellent Shape. Savannah. Sept. 27.—The quarantine situation has developed no new features here, everything being reported in good shape at the meeting of the sanitary board. A Savannah lady was put off the train because she was without a health certificate and is still detained at Meldrim. Rumors and.reports from various places have not led the city authorities to make the quarantine any more rigid than it has been for some time. Dr. Liehardy says no one can pass without a health certificate, despite the claims of several that they have been able to do so. A drummer who came through Wil mington, N. 0., says he was charged (2 there for a health certificate, it being represented to him that other cities were charging $4 and (5. There is no charge whatever here, nor at any other cities in this section, so far as known. NEW CASES AT EDWARDS. The Mayor of tlia Town Stricken—Situa tion Grave—Prayers For Frost.

All the cars, except the rear Pullman sleeper were derailed. None of the passengers were injured, although sev eral were badly shaken up. Again Alyera Is Arrested. Atlanta, Sept. 27. —Chief Manly has received information to the effect that Will Myers, the muchly wanted mur derer, 'has been captured. This time the news comes from the sheriff of An derson, S. O. He states that he has the right man, and asks what steps he must take to bring him to Atlanta. Chief Manly has received so many false re- Sorts about the capture of Myers that* e is very ready now to doubt all of them. However, he has acted in this case just as if he believed the sheriff of Anderson was right and has told him how to get the prisoner back to Atlanta. ■An vrvßrirue auno'ouer arrives.

Young American His Sister Badly Treated by Spaniards In Cuba. New York, Sept. 27. —The Journal* and Advertiser says: Three years ago, | Miss Eloise Brunet was the belle of , ©ienfugos, Cuba. She was beautiful | and rich. Now she lies upon a cot in a 1 10x10, room in a small house on the outskirts of Philadelphia, her body burning with rever, her mind racked by terror of Spaniards, her memory filled with the horrorg of an experience J abounding in starvation, suffering and . peril. In her delirium she cries piti- ; fully for protection against Spaniards which she thinks are seeking to murder her. In a similar condition, aggravated by wounds, is Dr. Andrew Brunet, who served as a major in the Cuban army. The father of these refugees was an American, who owned a large estate in Oienfuegos. He died in 1893, and his son, Dr. Brunet, went to Cuba to settle up the estate. The Spanish adminis tration of such affairs made it a long , and difficult task. In September, 1895, General Rego raised the JJuban stand-, ard in the Oienfuegos district and the young Cuban-American was one of the first to join him. It was impossible for his sister to remain on their plantation, and she therefore went into the Cuban service as a nurse. After 20 months of hard life they both contracted malarial fever and were so ill that they had to leave the insur- ; gent party. They took so >d in a cave, where they lived for. three weeks. Finally the brother man&ged to climb the hill and attract the attention of a Spanish planter, who took them to Sierra, 1 whence they were taken by boat to Cienfuegos. Though almost unable to walk they . were dragged along by the Spanish sol- ; diers, who cursed and struck them. I The Spanish commander examined them 1 separately to find cause to put them to ' death, but failing iu that he permitted ' them to go to their sister’s, who lived nearly a mile away, on condition that | they reported in person every three or j four days. Dr. Brunet appealed to the American ' consul. Oweu McGarr, who took their ! case up. Then followed a long cor respondence with the state department and in the end the consul wus ordered to help them. They received their pass- I ports on Aug. E0 and sailed on Sept. 7. I Dr. Brunet stud his sister have filed a i claim at Washington against the Span- I ish government for the destruction of ’ their property at Cienfuegos. Officials at the Capital Optimistic. New York, Sept. 27.—A special to The Herald from Washington says: The possibility of a rupture between the United States and -Spain, growing out of representations recently" made to the Madrid authorities by "Minister Wood ford, is regarded as very remote by state department officials. At the time Mr. Woodford’s instructions were writ ten it was the opinion of administration officials that a tender of the good offices of the'Upited States would be rejected by Spain. Their views have changed on that point. It is said the authorities are confidently expecting that Spain will accept the offer in a conciliatory manner. Alliance Obgan Change* Hands. Columbia, S. 0., Sept. 27.—The man aging committee of The Cotton Plant, 1 the alliance organ, has awarded the printing and editing of the paper to Colonel James A.
