Atlanta’s Trade—Effort to Have
Tbem Changed. •
New Orleans, Oct. I.—The fever is
spreading to all sections of the city, and
the number of eases reported by 9 o’clock
this morning was fifteen.
The total number of cases for the day
is 23 with three deaths. The fever that
is developing is of a very mild type,
and a great deal of it is in houses
where the disease had previously found
victims. Among the cases is Rev.
Beverley Warner of Trinity Episcopal
Church, who is an eastern man, but who
came here to be with his congregation.
Eight people have been discharged
from the detention camp and are ming
ling with the community. The yellow
.fever hospital has received a number of
additional patients in the past few
hours. They are being scattered through
the building and the health officials are
thoroughly fumigating the structure.
The people in the neighborhood of the
building have concluded that there is no
reason why violence should be offered
and the health authorities consider that
there is no reason to apprehend further
incendiarism.
Officials of the board of health say
that figuring on the situation in lb7B,
and the progress of the disease at this
time, there is not the remotest possibil
ity of an epidemic. Cases are being nu
merously reported, now that the people
believe there is yellow fever liere, and
even if the case is only suspicious the
board of health makes a record of it.
The board comes in for some criticism
for its failure to report deaths promptly.
The officials say, however, that their
Staff is smaller than it ought to be, that
many of the men they employ are in
efficient, because they are picked up at
random and sometimes prove to be in
capable, and that it is not possible com
pletely to patrol the wide territory of a
- city like this, where everybody is doing
his best to beat the quarantine.
There is undisguised feeling against
the board of health because it is quar
antining people. But the board, by ex
perience, has shown that it is not far
from being right in taking every pre
caution. The trouble is, however, that
a number of local physicians are with
holding diagnosis of cases, not believt g
the prevailing fever is yellow jacK.
They justify their apparent negligence
by the fact that the deaths are few and
the cases not increasing.
THREE MORE IN EDWARDS.

dence.
Mr. W. A Dromgoole, who has had
charge of the cordon around the town,
has taken the fever. The doctors in
charge will miss him, as he took all
that part of the work and worry off of

FIRE IN ADAIRSVILLE
Eleven Houses Destroyed Early
Yesterday Morning.
No Fire Protection and No Insur
ance—Loss to Merchants’ Stocks
Estimated at $15,000.
Adairsville. Oct. I.—About 1
o’clock this morning fire was discover
ed in a row of wooden storehouses on
the public square. The alarm was
quickly given, but no power in reach
could stop its fury until it had swept
the lower end of the street. Eleven
places of business are now in ashes.
Beginning at the north end of the fire
district is the brick block of Colonel
J. W. Gray, two houses, one of them
occupied as a shoe shop; T. A. Ripley,
general merchandise; A. M. Cox, Mrs.
N. J. Reed, W. F. McCollin, grocery;
Miss A. Z, Earle, millinery; Frank
Green, grocery; Babe Casey, drinking
house; Park Johnson, barber shop; G.
M. Barker, general merchandise.
The loss cannot be estimated with
any degree of exactness yet. About
$15,000 is the loss on stocks. The dame
age to buildings is much greater. Ther
was no insurance and no fire protection.
the people or com mose states, the
chamber of commerce of this city has
adopted a resolution reciting the fact
that Atlanta is a perfectly healthy city,
and that no yellow fever exists here,
and calling upon the city, state and
national authorities to use their in
fience in having the quarantine modi
fied to reasonable requirements.
President Neal of the chamber of
commerce has addressed a letter to
Governor Johnston of Alabama invit
ing his co-operation in accomplishing
this result.
No New Cases In Clinton.
Clinton. Miss., Oct. I.—Everything
is comparatively quiet in this town.
There have been no new cases of yoilow
fever reported and the sick are reported
as getting on very well. Quite a num
ber of citizens and college students
boarded the special train at Mcßaven’s
for St. Louis. They very narrowly es
caped being too late, for the train, on
account of a few ignorant country peo
ple having torn up the county bridge
and refusing with pointed guns to allow
them to pass, when they were within a
short distance of the flag station. They
had to turn back and make a long trip
around and come up on the opposite
side and arrived just in time to catch
the train.
Gnlf Freight Route Cloned.
San Francisco, Oct. I.—ln conse
quence of the yellow fever quarantine
in the southern states, the Southern Pa
cific company has decided to close its
gulf route to all freight traffic. All ar
rangements have been perfected by trie
Southern Pacific with the Texas ai.d
Pacific whereby connection may be had
with New Orleans and other points in
the southern part of Louisiana. Through
freight for the east will also be turned
over to the Texas and Pacific at El
Paso. The arrangement, while oniy
temporary, will continue until the abate
ment of the yellow fever epidemic.

New York, Oct. I.—Dunns report
issued today gives a very glowing picture
of the business out look in every section
of the county.

amount of business liabilities were
reported than for any previous quarter
in five years. Only six quarters in the
past fifteen years show smaller figures.
Business is improving in all lines,
mines opening, factories running on full
time and merchants having a' heavy
business.

Havana, Oct. I.—The correspondent
here of the Associated Press has iuves

from this pity, via Key West, saying
that Captain General Weyler had sent
his resignation to Madrid to take effect
as soon as practicable, and has been in
formed in the best sources available
that, up to the present moment, the
captain general of Cuba has not re
sign ed.
A dispatch from Madrid says: The

It is taken for granted that- he will
form a cabinet, of which probably Se
nor Gamazo will be minister for foreign

SAMOA AND UNCLE SAM.
Relieved Oar Occupation of the Islands
Would He Opposed In Berlin.
Berlin, Oct. 1. —The officials of the
United States embassy, and of the
I United States consulate here, say there
is no truth in the story concerning a
dispatch from Berlin to the London
Daily Chronicle, saying that President
McKinley has instructed the new
United States consul general at Berlin
(in the absence of Ambassador White,
who has been spending a fortnight at
Herinsdorf). to give an opinion as to
the alteration of the Samoan treaty, and
it is believed that the United States in
tended to invite a conference on the
subject.
It is added that Germany is certain
to object strenuously to any weakening
of her hold on Samoa and that the com
plete cession of the group of islands to
Great Britain would meet with far more
support in Berlin than would American
occupation of the islands.
The Vossische. Ze.tung expresses the
opinion that Samoa ought to become
German, as two-thirds of the land is
owned by Germans.
The Vossische Zeitung also says:
“The existing treaty must be abol
ished and order re-established.’*
The other newspapers express similar
views on the subject.
CABINET TALKS OF CUBA.
Woodford Said to
Cable to Washington.
Washington, Oct. J. The cabinet
meeting was devoted almost entirely to
the consideration of the Spanish situa
tion and Cuban affairs. It was one of
the longest meetings held since the ad
vent of the McKinley administration,
lasting over two and a half hours. The
main subject of consideration was the
present cabinet crisis in Spain and its
effect on our relations with the Madrid
government and our future policy to
ward Cuba.
It is said an important cable has been
received from United States Minister
Woodford and that this formed the ba
sis of discussion. The members of the
cabinet are extremely reticent, as they
always are when matters of grave im
portance are before them, but one of
them said the discussion did not event
uate anything definite and that no ac
tion would follow.

DETECTIVES TRACED THE WOMEN
Production of These Women Will Follow
Close of Evidence of Defense and
Be in Nature of Rebuttal
Chicago, Oct. 1. —The prosecution is
planning the delivery of a crushing
blow to the defense in the Luetgert
nrurder trial. When this blow reaches
the solar plexis of the case, all seamoid,
phalanges, temporals and other anatom
ical exhibits will be knocked out of con
sideration for the time being.
It is now asserted that, the prosecu
tion will produce upon the witness
stand three of the women whom wit
nesses have identified as Mrs. Luetgert.
One of these is the woman who was
seen by witnesses in Kenosha, Wis., on
May 5. She is now in Kenosha, and is
being watched constantly by a detec
tive. This is the woman who left one
of her slippers in the Kenosha police
station.
She was described by several wit
nesses who saw her at the Northwest
ern station at Kenosha and at two of
the leading hotels of that town, and
who identified her by the photograph
of Mrs. Luetgert. The woman is claimed
to be a character well known in certain
districts of Chicago.
Detective Decelle has traced the
woman met on the country road near
Kenosha May 5 by Fred Schebe and
identified as Mrs. Luetgert to Joliet,
where she is now said to be located.
She will be called to the witness stand,
it is said, and- will testify that she
is a local evangelist, and was in the
vicinity of Kenosha on the day men
tioned in the. interest of some mission
ary work.
The production of the women who
have been identified as Mrs. Luetgert
will follow the close of the evidence of
the defense, and will be in the nature
of rebuttal evidence.
PEARY FOUND NO PROOFS.
Say, Ha Did Not Dlaonver Sign, of Caaal
balls in at < ape Sabina.
New York, Oct. I. The Herald
prints an interview with Lieutenant
Peary, in which he says:
“I found no evidences of cannibalism
at Camp Clay, on Cape Sabine. I have
said this repeatedly. I did not look for
proof or indications, or evidence or any
thing which would again open this ter
rible episode of arctic adventure. I did
not go to Cape Sabine to obtain proof
that the men with Greely bad their nat
ural feelings overcome by the agonies
of starvation.
“It seems to me, however, that this
talk of cannibalism is unnecessarily re
vived. I think 15 has been conceded
that the tragedy of Cape Sabine forced
the men into conditions which could
not have existed under other circum
stances. It seems to ine that the viola
tions of the laws of nature would be
excused which would compel the living
to perish when their existence might
have been sustained by the ‘food’ which
was put before them. It would, it
seems to me, be only a matter for the
individual to decide—whether he would
partake of the dead or die.
“It would be different if lots were
drawn and the unfortunate being made
tbe victim to the lust or appetite of his
living murderers. Nothing of that sort
has been evan imagined of the tragedy
of Cape Sabine. The living, in order to
sustain life, may have been tempted—
in fact, I believe it was decided that
thhy had preserved their lives in this
maimer. But as for taking any part in
any ghoulish search, that I did not, nor
will I do so.”

A VALUABLE CONTRIVANCE.
Device For the Savin* of Life by Prevent
ing Railroad Accidents.
St. Paul. Oct. I.—A very ingenious
and valuable contrivance for the saving
of life, by prevention of railroad acci
dents through forgetfulness of train
men, has been invented. The machine
has just stood a very severe test on the
Great Northern railroad, after having
been previously operated euooeeefaliy
on the St. Paul and Duluth road. Prac
tical railroad men in this section have
given strong indorsements to the device
after seeing its work.
The object of the device is to provide
an accurate and reliable reminder sig
nal and distance on indicator for loco
motives, by means of which engineers
are prevented from forgetting their
train orders as to stopping or meeting
points. The mechanism is simple but
positively connected with the forward
trucks of the engine, there being an ac
curate measuring of the diistauce trav
eled, the dial, placed in front of the en
gine, showing correctly the distance
traveled. Above the dial are placed 15
triggers, or dogs, pivoted at equally dis
tant points around the center.
When the engineer receives his or
ders he sets one or .more of these trig
gers to a*poiut 1 mile short of the dis
tance to be traveled before reaching
the stopping place. Then the mileage
indicator, on reaching such a point, re
leases the trigger, which starts the sig
nal whistle blowing. This continues >to
blow for a quarter of a mile, promptly
warning the engineer of the near ap
proach to the stopping place. If the
engineer is inattentive and fails to stop
when the last mile is run over, the ma
chine is worked by airbreaks stop the
train for him. A train similarly equip
ped, coming in the opposite direction,
would be stopped in the same manner
and a collision prevented.
The device can be made to run for
ward or backward. For foggy or
stormy weather, or for dark nights, the
device is considered especially valuable
for ordinary road use, although its life
saving feature was the point first sought
for.
Robbery Victims In 'Frisco.
San Francisco, Oct. I.—Five of ths
