FLORIDA’S GUARD.
The Health Protective Association
Meeja at Jacksonville.
Key Wes’?, Fla., June 28.—There have
been three new cases of fever since yester
day, but no deaths.
THE HEALTH PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION.
Jacksonville, Fla., June2B.—The Flor
ida Health Protective Association, a body
of delegates representing the counties of the
State, assembled here to-day and formed a
permanent organization. Its object is to es
tablish a rigid coast quarantine, and when
this has been accomplished, to raise all in
terior quarantines. Dr. Wylly. of ( 'range
eounty, President of the Association, will
leave here at once for points of danger
along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and
will personally superintend the establish
ment at such jiomtu of quarantine sta
tions. The expenses will bo borne
by the counties represented in the associa
tion. Delegates from Hillsborough county,
in which Tampa is situat'd, wars present,
to-day, but refused to take part in the de
liberations of the meeting. The association
is a representative body, and it* action will
go far to re-establish confidence and revive
business.

COLQUITT FOR SECRETARY.
Many Senators Sure that Lamar Will
be Made Judge.
Washington, June 28. -The Southern
Senators now in town having satisfied them
selves that Secretary Lamar is to be placed
on the Supreme bench, are now trying to
ascertain who will succeed Secretary Lamar
in that event. The opinion held by a ma
jority Oi them is that the President will, in
the event that he puts Secretary Lamar
on the bench, tender the Seere
taryship of the Interior to Senator
Colquitt. Whether Mr. Colquitt would
accept is a doubtful question with them
One of them went so far as to ask Mr. Col
quitt to-day whether he would accept if the
portfolio was tendered to him. Mr. Colquitt
l eplied that he thought that it was rather
premature to discuss that question. Asa
matter of fact the President had not made
known his intentions in regard to the
Supreme Court vacancy, and, of course, has
not said anything about the Secretaryship
of the Interior to anyone.
MR. HAMMOND NOT TO GET IT,
One thing seems certain and that is that
ex-Lepresentative Hammond, of Georgia,
will not be appointed to the Supreme Bench,
u is stated in the local newspapers that the
Georgians, realizing this, and knowing that
Secretary Lamar is going to get this place,
are preparing to urge Mr. Hammond for
Secretary of the Interior. There is nothing
in this. The Georgians have urged Mr.
Hammond for a place on the Interstate
Commission, for a place on the Pacific Rail
way Commission and for a place on the
Supreme Bench. The President has been
unwilling to anpoint him to any of these
places, so the Georgians will try no farther.
TYING UP A DIVIDEND.
Richmond and Danville Stockholders
Make Trouble.
New York, June 28.—Deborah, Albert
E. and Nathaniel D. Powers obtained an
injunction from Judge Lawrence to-day re

from paying a dividend of 3 per cent, on
its stock, ordered by the directors of the
company on June 9, payable on and after
July 1 at. the Central Trust Company’s
office, or from paj’ing any money to any
person or stockholder from the assets or in
come of the company on account of the
dividend.
President Alfred Sully, of the Rich
mond and West Point” Terminal Com
pany, said to-day in regard to the Rich
mond and Danville induction: “The motion
for an injunction against paving a
dividend on the Richmond and Danville
stock comes up for a hearing to-morrow.
It is brought by a man holding 813,000
worth of stock, and his interest in the matter
amounts to only 8900. If the injunction is
granted the company will file a bond and go
ahead paying the dividend.”
EXPLODING POWDER.

Men Killed.
Wayne, N. J.. June 28.—Laflin & Rand’s

ing. The drying mill, in which men were

August Karouse, who was married about
nine months ago, was near the mill and has
not been seen since. He is undoubtedly
killed.
James H. Gardner, the foreman, was

rington and Hanley, for whom rewards ag
gregating 816,000 are offered. They are the

Gould Said to Have Absorbod the
Shares of Field. .
New York, June 28.—There was much
talk on “the street” this afternoon to the ef
fect that Jay Gould had absorbed Cyrus IV.

and the only facts obtainable were that 50,-
000 shares had been transferred and that a
check for $4,500,000 for Mr. Gould’s account
had been given on the Fourth National
Rank. The bank officials refused to make
any statement regarding the matter An

SAVANNAH, HA., WEDNESDAY. JUNE 29, 1887.
IN CAMP AMID THE RUINS.
A SAD SCENE IN THE FIRE-SWEPT
TOWN OF MARSHFIELD.
Moat of the 2,000 Homeless Inhabi
tants Spend the Night Under Impro
vised Coverings Near the Sites of
Their Smoking Homes The Loss
Over $1,000,000.
Milwaukee, June 28.—The latest ac
counts of the Marshfield fire come from
neighboring towns whose hospitality has
been thrown open to the 2,000 homeless in
habitants. But few availed themselves of it
howover,mostof the people being housed for
the night in wagons, rudely constructed
sheds, blankets and such household furni
ture piled up as was saved. The scenes last
night were pitiable. A Year led men and de
pressed women spent the night watching
the remnants of their homes and possess
ions promiscuously scattered round in the
surrounding woods, which were lit up by the
glow that camo from the still burning mass
that covered acres and represented a thriv
ing village. So rapid was the spread of the
fire that little could be saved. Frantic men
and women used vehicles of every descrip
tion to save goods when the fire reached the
residence part of the town. Messages have
been recei zed t hat the people are but scantily
provided with provision*, and there will be
suffering until aid is dispatched.
THE LOSS OVER A MILLION.
A special to the Evening Wisconsin from
Marshfield says: “It is impossible to get at
the exact figures of the losses and insurance
by yesterday’s fire. The loss will exceed
$1,000,000, and the total insurance will
reach 8300,000.
“The burned district embraces eight blocks,
bounded as follows: A street on the north,
Fourth street on the south, Maple street on
the east, and Chestnut street on the west.
“The Upham Manufacturing Company
lost their saw mill, lumber yard, flour mill,
elevator, 15,000 bushels of grain, 1,000 bar
rels of flour, planing mill and furniture
factory. Their loss is 8:250,000.
“Sauger, Rockwell & Cos., of Milwaukee,
are heavy losers, having an entire season’s
cut of fine lumber destroyed.
“Aid in the shape of provisions and cloth
ing is being received at Marshfield. There
are not enough roofs left standing to shelter
the homeless, and the people are camping in
the fields and woods.”
THE LOSS OVER $3,000,000.
Milwaukee, June 28, 11 p. m. —lt is now
estimated that the loss resulting from the
destruction of the city of Marshfield will not
be less than $8,000,000 and may be $8,500,-
000. The heaviest loser is the Upham Manu
facturing Company, whose loss is approxi
mated at SBOO,OOO.
Sauger, Rockwell & Cos., of Milwaukee,
lose $45,000, representing a whole season's
cut of timber.
The Tremont Hotel Company lose $28,000.
Mayor A. J. Upham loses on his store and
stock $50,000.
The Marshfield Bank loses SI,OOO.
There are about 1,000 losers, the amounts
varying from SSOO to SIO,OOO.
Twelve solid blocks of stores were de
stroyed.
A dispatch to-night says that that the fire
burned until an early hour this morning
and that but one house remains unscathed.
THE PEOPLE SUFFERING.
Half the population is still there, but is
suffering for want of clothing. Supplies
were sent from neighboring towns that
answered the purpose temporarily, but
Mayor Upham telegraphs that more pro
visions must be sent at once or the people
will suffer.
It appears that when the fire started there
was a nigh wind and the flames were car
ried with remarkable rapidity, seeming
almost to leap from house to house. Twelve
buildings were blown up with dynamite in
a vain effort to check the flames.
Conductor Grayson, who brought the
through sleeper from St. Paul on tne Cen
tral line this morning, said that the only
thing to be seen at Marshfield from where
the depot used to stand was one house and
an expanse of blackened ruins, with here
and there the remnants of smoke stacks and
some warped and twisted machinery to
show where a mill had stood.
the people leaving.
Ho describes the sceno as one of awful
desolation, hardly relieved by the presence
of human beings, as everybody had left, or
was leaving as last as possible.
Yesterday afternoon most of the well-to
do people left for Chippewa Falls, and this
morning two carloads of homeless working
people were brought as far as Stevens’
Point, the railway company carrying them
free. Conductor Grayson described them as
a sorry-looking crowd, with nothing but the
clothes they happened to ha ve on at the time
of the fire. Some of them had no hate.
There was hardly a woman who had any
kind of wrap or shawl, they being merely
clothed in their ordinary dresses and sun
bonnets, while the children were even worse
off, being barefooted, bareheaded and hun
gry. Tho Central road has repaired its
track so that trains can run right through
again. Last night a special train had to be
sent up and passengers from above walked
around the burned town to come through.
HEAVY LOSSES AT HURLEY.
A special from Hurley says: Fire broke
out in one end of Silver street, the principal
thoroughfare of the city, about 10 o’clock
this morning, and at noon four or five
blocks of business buildings had been swept
away.
The Burton House escaped. The loss is
estimated at $700,000.

Washington, June 28.—The brick ware
house of William Galt & Cos. was burned
to-day with 600 tons of hay and 1,200
haiTels of flour. The loss in between $20,000
and $35,000. and it is fully covered by in
surance. A boy with a lighted cigarette is
credited with starting the fire.
Killed in a Mine.
Chicago, June 28.—Four Englishmen,
named William Kellow, William Pengilly,
.lames Vanderslyus and Paul Ilastaing, were
instantly killed in a mine at Norway, Midi.,
this morning. They were coming out of

from Catlettsburgh that the Tolliver faction
of Rowan county are reorganizing, and the
people in that section of the State are ex
pecting another outbreak at Morehead.
Two cousins of Craig Tolliver passed
through Catlettsburgjyesterday. They said
they were from Lawrence county ana were
going to Morehead, but would not say what

marshaling their forces.
A citizens meeting, it is reported, will be
held at Morehead Wednesdny and the Tolli
ver gang, who are recovering from the
shock of Craig’s death, will try to get con
trol of it. Town Marshal "Jim” Mannin,
of Morehead, and his brother, “Bud” Mali
nin, were among those who escaped, and

a Revolver and Helps Him Escape.
St. Paul, June 28.—The Pioneer Presa
has news from Black Fork, Idaho, of a jail
delivery there last night. Henry Nickerson,
in for horse stealing, was-fnrnished with a
revolver by his wife who has boon visiting
him daily. With the revolver Nickerson
held up the guard, who had accompanied
his wife to the cell. The pair disarmed the
guard and locked him in a cell. They then
liberated Aleck Woods, a negro wife mur
derer, and one Williams, also convicted
of murder, both sentence 1 to hang
July 12, and another horse thief, and lock
ing up the rest of the watchmen, the en
tire party escaped to the outside, where
horses were awaiting them. Woods, weigh
ing 250 pounds, would not trust to this
course, and took to the brush on foot The
others fled on horseback. The Sheriff, re
turning an hour later, organize! a posse and
soon recaptured Woods, hut was still in pur
suit of the others at last accounts. As the
criminals are armed a desperate fight is
likely.
CHICAGO’S ANARCHISTS.
Rumors that the Supreme Court Has
Decided to Grant ft New Trial.
Chicago, June 28.—The Daily Ncivs
says: “A rumor that the Supreme Court
has decided to give the condemned An
archists anew trial was put into circulation
to-day. The intelligence was to the effect
that a majority of the judges sitting on the
Supreme bench had decided in favor of the
points submitted by Capt. Black and Leon
ard Swett, why the sentence pro
nounced by Judge Gary on the Hay
market assassin should not be
executed at least before another hearing
was allowed the condemned. The origin of
the rumor, so far rs it could be traced, ap
peared to be in tho civil courts in the county
building, and early this afternoon the rumor
that the Anarchists were indeed to have anew
trial was common talk among lawyers. From
these it was learned that the report stated
that the Supreme Court Judges had already
dictated their opinion, and tftat the deelara
tion that this opinion was favorable to the
Anarchists came from court official* who
had access to the document*. The story as
it circulated this afternoon occasioned a
sensation in and about the county building.”
A CYCLONE IN LOUISIANA.
Eight Lives Known to Have Been Lost
in the Blow.
Long View, La., June 28.—One of the
most destructive storms ever known, occur
red last night twenty miles below here, and
carried death and destruction in its eourso.

twenty miles south of here, five were killed
outright. At Fair Play, a small hamlet,
one woman and two children were killed,
having taken shelter in an old hotfse, on
which a very long tree fell, crushing them.
In the track of this tornado nothing was
left. The county is thinly settled, which
accounts for the few lives lost. As there is
no telegraphic commnmcation, hut, little
can lie learno® at this time. A heavy wind
and rain storm is raging now.

LABOR'S CONSTITUTION.
THE KNIGHTS VOTE IN FAVOR OF
THE NEW RULES.
Three-Quarters of tho Vote Polled
in Favor of the Change—Half of the
Negative Vote Cast by Gormans Who
Opposed the Anti-Liquor Clause.
Philadelphia, June 28.—8 y returns
made to the general headquarters of the
Knights of Labor this morning the new
constitution of the order, embodying many
important changes, has been adopted by at
least a throe-fourths vote. The clause pro
viding for tho formation of national trade
assemblies, sent out separately from the
constitution and voted upon by the local as
semblies throughout the order, has also boon
adopted by Dearly the same vote. The
new constitution will be promulgated by the
General Executive Board in a very few
days and will go into effect immediately
after its promulgation.
THE PROHIBITION CLAUSE.
An analysis of the vote shows that, nearly
one-half of the local assemblies that opposed
the adoption of the new constitution did so
oil account of section 325, which roads: "No
local or other assembly or member shall di
rectly or indirectly give, sell or have any
ale, beer or intoxicating liquors of
any kind at any meeting, party,
sociable, ball, picnic or entertainment
whatever appertaining to the order. Any
member found guilty of violating this law
shall be suspended for not loss than six
months or expelled. No flue shall he im
posed for this offense. Any local or other
assembly so offending shall be suspended
during the plwpuire of the General Execu
tive Board, or shall have its charter revoked
by said board.” Nearly every assembly

A CO-OPERATION FUND.
The article on co-operation was adapted
unanimously. It is quite lengthy and pro
vides for ttie creation and disbursement of a
fund to aid co-operative enterprises. Each
local assembly is required to collect and de
posit a sum of not leas than 2c. per month
for every member in good standing. The
money is to tie invested by the co-operative
board and the profits are to be divided
equally between the general assembly, co
operative fund and the workmen who
create the profit.
The new constitution gives tho General
Executive Board full power to settle all
strikes and disputes, whether sanctioned by
the board or not, and it increases the powers
of the general board in many other par
ticulars.
the basis of represf.ntation.
Hereafter each district, State, national or
unattached local assembly shall lie entitled
to one delegate to each '3,000 memtiers or
majority fraction thereof.
The term of office, over which there has
liean no much controversy, has been fixed at
two years. Compensation hereafter w ill be
fixed by the General Assembly when an
officer is elected.
The national trade assemblies clause is
probably the most important of the changes.
It provides that “any particular trade or
calling may form a national trade assembly
by giving at least three months notice to
each local assembly—the entire member
ship of which is composed of such trade —
to attend a convention for the purpose of
forming a national trade assembly.” At
least two-thirds of the local assemblies
must vote in favor of tho trade
assembly, and not less than ten assemblies,
if there lie tliat number iu the order, may
receive a charter.
Section 3 of the article is not very strong,
however, as it will leave the matter in the
hands of the general executive lioard,
which, if the law ha* lieen complied with,
may instruct the General Secretary to issue
a charter. The votes will lie received until
July 15, and recorded, although the new
constitution will be in effect some time be
fore that, probably about July 1.

LEO AND THE IRISH.
Archbbhop Walsh Denies Having Op
posed the Mission.
Rore, June 38.—1n consequence of a dis
patch from Mgr. Scillin, who represented
the Pope at the Queen's jubilee in London,
Mgr. Persico and Mgr. Gualdl have been
ordered by the Pope to proceed to Dublin to
execute their mission.
It is stated that the Pope was induced to
send the Papal mission to Ireland by the
Insistence on the part of the English bishops,
clergymen and laymen that the reports of
the Irish bishops on the condition of Ireland
were exaggerated Wishing to get at tho
exact truth the Pope decided to send un
biassed agents of his own to make an in
vestigation. Monsignori Persico and Guald,
who were chosen to make tho inquiry, were
recalled while on their way to the railway
station Friday lust, but left this evening for
Dublin. It is believed that they will con
firm tho Irish bishop’s reports.

THE CRIMES BILL.
London, June 38. —In the House of Com
mons to-day, numerous new clauses to the
crimes bill were proposed by the Parnellito
membei-s, but all were rejected. The gov
ernment protested against wasting time
over the proposals, which, they claimed,
were applicable to common law.
Upon motion to adjourn the debate, W.
11. Smith arose and said that, after the dis
cussion of this and tho preceding evening,
the House would lti> prepared for tho-ootioe
he was about to give. (.Cries of “cloture”
and cheers.] He would on Thursday move
that at 7 o’clock on Monday evening the re
maining resolutions on the report stage bo
put seriat im without debate.
The News says it believes that the govern
ment contemplates the abandonment of the
promised bill providing for trial by a com
mittee of judges and that the government
may ask an autumn silting for financial
business only, as many members desire tho
earliest dossi l ilo adjournment of the present
session for the holidays. It is probable that
the land bill will only pass its first reading
prior to the third reading of the crimes bill.
The Standard says: It is understood that
on the passage of tho crimes bill tho gov
ernment will issue a special proclamation
declaring the National League in Kerry,
Clare and Cork an illegal association, and
will also proclaim those counties and bring
them within range of the secret inquiry
and summary jurisdiction sections of the
act.

Hie Lawyers to Make an Effort to
Have Judge Barrett Stop the Trial
Where it is Physicians of the
Opinion That the Prisoner Cannot
Live Longer Than Two Weeks.
New York, June 38.— Thirty-two day*
of a trial such as Jacob Sharp has under
gone in tho very heat of the summer at hit
time of life is an ordeal that cannot be
safely passed. Yet has this old man with
all his manifold physical ailments borne
up bravely under it. He was no weaker
than usual when he caine into conrt this
morning, nor did he appear to be any bet
tor than usual, though he said to a reporter
that the effect of Dr. Ijoomis’ prescription of
yesterday was to niAkehim sleop better than
he had at any time since his committment
to jail. Dr. Dayton, of the Senate clerical
force was ready to testify with reference to
tho general surface railroad bill of 1883.
A BID FOR THE FRANCHISE.
John M. Scribner, of the law firm of Rob
inson, Scribner & Bright, Sharp’s legal ad
visers, was placed upon the stand, but his
testimony presented no strong point.
Abraham M. Earl, Secretary of the New
York Cable Railroad Company, let out in
cross-examination that President Andrews,
of his company, did make an offer to Mayor
Edson to iay $1,000,000 into the city treas
ury for the Broadway franchise.
Sharp’s testimony as a whole before the
Senate investigating committee was read.
A SURPRISE.
Quite unexpectedly at this point Mr. Par
sons said that tbo defense had only three
moro witnesses to examine, George Bliss
and John McMahon and Julius Heidman,
two members of the Rchnorer club. “After
we have examined these witnesses the de
fense will have concluded It* case.”
Mr. Bliss then took the witness chair. He
related how he hail been Rat upon by the
investigating oommittee when he attempted
to demand fair play for Sharp. The un
fairness consisted in not permitting Sharp
to accompany his answers with explana
tions. At 3:30 o’clock the defense rested
their case and Judgo Barrett adjourned the
court till to-morrow when the summing up
will begin.
RHARF DYINO.
The Mail and Krprts* in its extra edition
at 7 o’clock to-night says:
It is believed that Jake Sharp is dying.
His physicians and lawyers say hfe condition
is very critical. His defense ended in a
fiasco at 3:30 o’clock this afternoon. Every
one was surprised at tho sudden turn in af
fairs. At the beginning of the trial it was
Sharp's expressed determination to take the
stand in his own defense. He explained to
his counsel how ho would answer and ex
plain all seeming deficiencies in his exami
nation liefore tho Senate committee. He
went so far as to avow he would rather be
convicted than permit the statements of the
witnesses! for tue prosecution to go uncon
tradicted by him.
WRITING HIS RTATKMENT.
Everything was arranged that Sharp
should testify. From the Beginning of the
trial until the night that Judge Barrett or
dered his committal to Ludlow street jail
Hliarp spent several hours every day alter
the adjournment of court in perfecting the
statement which he would make to the jury.
From the time he was confined in jail he
has failed, and yesterday afternoon when
his counsel told hint to prepare to take the
stand they found to their horror that Hharp
was a physical wreck, and that even
mentally lie was not in fit condition to be a
witness. It U the opinion of Hharp’s physi
cians that ho cannot live longer than ten
days or two weeks. Tho slightest excite
ment will cause death, owing to the condi
tion of his heart. In the next few days hit
business affairs will he wound up.
•TRYING TO STOP THE TRIAL.
A scheme is under consideration by those
interested in Sharp’s case which, if carried
out successfully, will take tho case out of
tho jurisdiction of the jury to-morrow
liefore tho lawyers liave a eliance to display
their powers of oratory in Humming up.
It has lieon suggested that certificate*
from Hitch eminent physicians as Prof,
l/xmiis and his associates that Hharp would
in all probability drop dead in the court
room when the jury brought in their ver
dict if the case should he given them,
no matter whether the verdict lie guilty or
not guilty, would result in Judge Barrett’*
stopping the trial just where it is. In any
event, his advocates are sincerely of the
opinion, after listening to the advice of the
doctors, that Hliarp will never live to go to
Hing Hing. Hheriff Grant was so fearful
this afternoon that Hharp would die in Lud
low street jail that he kept him in his pri
vate office for two hours after the court had
adjourned.
