X.ate*t Feirer News From tbe Infected
Towns—Major Hamilton. Chief of
Police’s Successor Stricken.
New OrlkAns, Oct 2.—The fever
situation is growing graver here every
day. Up to 11 o'clock tonight the
record is 25 new cases and five deaths
The disease continues to spread, and
the only hope now of stamping it out
is through the medium of frost.
Major E. J. Hamilton, the probable
sucessor of Chief of Police Gaster, has
been stricken" with yellow fever.
The board of health continues to'fiud
great difficulty in its work of stamping
out the disease. The failure to report
cases of sickness is becoming exasper
•tingly common. Tbe result is that
patients are not receiving prompt medi
cal attention and are dying, where they
Sight be pulled throngh if doctors were
(mediately called in.
The cases at the yellow fever hospital
•re increasing; there were 17 there Fri
day night and others were removed
thither Saturday morning. A number
of people were released daring the duy
from the detention camp. Tne Kigo
lets detention camp has been closed.
There is no reason to maintain it, be
cause very few people were coming
into New Orleans over the Louisville
•nd Nashville road. Orders have been
isused to send all suspects from in
fected points to Fountainbleau. where
there are ample accommodations for
several hundred people.
Although the number of cases here is
increasing, the board of health has
resolutely refused to modify its quaran
tine regulations. Every infected point
is being watched. The board will con
tinue to quarantine houses here wherein
fever exists. The effect will be to pre
▼ent a spread of the disease and to give
employment to several hundred men
who nave been thrown out of work by
the stagnation of trade.

BROWN WAS NOT BROWN.
Negro on Trial For Marder in Cedartown
Cleared. Identity Notdetabllohed.
• Ckdabtown. Oct. 2.—The trial of
Will Brown, a negro, charged with
killing Jim Herring, and which has
consumed four days, ended here today
an acquittal.
In November 1891, Brown and Her
ring got in a dispute about a pistol.
It resulted in Brown shooting Herring
through the heart. The murder
skipped, and for six years nothing
was beard of him. Some months ago
a negro answering the description was
arrested in Birmingham and brought
to Cedartown..
The negro swore that hds name was
Charlie Mauxs, and that he had never
been in Cedartown previous to bis
arrest. He said bis home was in
Meridian, but that he had been in
Chattanooga for several years.
Judge Janes appointed Messrs.
Saunders, Davis, Felder and Mundy
to defend tbe prisoner, and directed
that they spare no expense to estab
lish tbe prisoners identity.
Many prominent people visited tbe
negro in jail, and were positive that
he was Brown. Others were just as
positive that he was not.
The jury decided to give the negro
tbe benefit of the doubt, and returned
a verdict of not guilty.

MURDER AT MONTGOMERY.
One Negro Kills Another and Harlas HU
Ha»dr In a Qarsiau.
Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 2.—A horri
ble murder has just been brought tc
light here. Oscar Gillis, porter foi
Marks & Kohn, grocers, and Johu Glo
, ver, butler .for Henry Weil, both ne
groes, roomed together in an outhouse
on Mr. Weil’s fashionable resideuce
premises on Perry street.
Two weeks ago Gillis disappeared
and last week Glover left the city with
-1 out notice. Friends of Gillis suspected
1 something was wrong and an investi
gation was begun.
It was learned there had been gamb
ling in Glover aud Giilis’ room one
night about two weeks ago; that Gillis
had won, and had several hundred dol
lars; that Gillis had disappeared; that a
negro who had seen Glover several days
afterwards digging a deep trench in
Weil’s garden, was told by Glover that
it was intended to bury some weeds ano
trash; that the negro cook, who occu
pied a room adjoining Glover’s, had
seen him lift Giilis* body over the brick
division wall one night about a week
afterwards, aud was told Gillis hao
been sick aud was being taken to the
train.
The investigating party found the
garden had beeu recently worked ano
■owed in turnips, but by candle light
and with the aid of a fence paling the
location of the alleged trash pit was dis
covered by the looseness of the earth
above it. After industrious digging.
Gillis’ badly decomposed body was
found, wrapped in quilts and bound
with cord like an Egyptian mummy.
Evidence obtained since indicates that
after the card players had gone Glover
crushed his roommate’s skull with a
.bed slat and then cut his throat with a
razor. That he then wrapped the body
in the quilts and kept it in his room
about a week, then dug the hole in the
garden, buried it in the dead of night,
sowed the ground above it in turnips
and left the city for Atlanta. The po
lice are trying to capture him.
M’DANIEL FOUND GUILTY.
Seventy-Two Year-Old Man Given at.
Year Sentenee.
Covington, Ga., Oct. 2. —Henry Mc-
Daniel, 72 years of age, has been con
victed in the superior court here of vol
untary manslaughter and sentenced by
Judge Fite to eight years in the peni
tentiary.
Tbe crime for which McDaniel was
convicted occurred in the spring of 1895.
Riley Stewart, a young farmer who
lived ou an adjoining farm to McDan
iel’s. was btftiuing a fence on the line,
and Henry McDaniel aud his sou, San
ders McDaniel, went over and ordered
him to move the fence to the place
where they claimed it should be, a dis
tance of 1% feet.
He refused to move the fence, and in
the quarrel which followed Stewart was
stabbed to death by the knives of Henry
and Sanders McDaniel. The line be
tween the two farms had been disputed
for over 20 years. Stewart was a rela
tive of the McDaniels.
Sanders McDaniel was convicted at a
previous term of Newton superior court
of voluntary manslaughter, aud is now
serving a term of 12 years in the peni
tentiary.
At the trial of Sanders McDaniel his
father swore that he had do: e the kill
ing, and that Sanders had done noth
ihg, but at this trial Sanders McDaniel
swore that he had done the killing, aud
his father was not the slayer.
The jury was not out long, but
brought in a verdict of voluntary man
slaughter.

similar troubles, even though of many
