danger of an epidemic at Jacksonville

lid n t relax its vigilance, although no

ger from the weather than heretofore,
the reason that there had been a
t improvement in the sanitary condi
iof tue south. This improvement was
icially noticeable iu oho larger cities.

CIVIL SERVICE FAECES.
The Law About Removals Virtually a
Dead Letter.
Washington, July 24.—Civil Service
Commissioner Roosevelt .said to-day that
charges have been brought against both the
pension office and the sixth auditor's office
that men have been discharged because they
were democrats. He was rv >t prepared to
sav that this w.oj a violation of the law, but
individually lie was firmly of the opinion
tnat it was in violation of the spirit of the
law. He thought that no one, unless he
happened to be an active partisan, should
be dismissed from the public service. He
said that the commission was going to look
the matter up, not os relating to the pres
ent, but to the past
Iu speaking of the matter further Mr.
Roosevelt said that in the Baltimore post
office it was charged that there had been a
clean sweep, and out of 357 employes, there
were now only eleven republicans. He
thought that this was wrong, and ought to
be stopped.
BLACK PO3TAL CLERKS.
The Refusal of the Whites to Act as
Their Instructors.
Washington, July 24. —Supt. Bell ofthe
railway mail service said to-day that there
was nothing exceptional in the case reported
from Lynchburg, Va., alleging that two
white postal clerks had refused to instruct
a newly-appointed negro clerk. It fre
quently happened in the south that
clerks "at first refused to instruct negro
clerks, but a little persuasive talk usually
convinced them thr.t they were unreasona
ble. Persistent refusal of course, ho said,
could have no ohter result than dismissal
from the sorvico.

members of the New York ex
change to-day, on recommendation of its offi
cial body, the members decide 1 to send prices
forward through the gold and stock telegraph

taking place here. The service was com
menced at once and dispatces showing the
changes here are going forward promptly
to Buffalo, Toledo, Duluth, Minneapolis,
Indianapolis, Bt. Louis, Detroit and
Chicago.

Found, by Wreckers.
Philadelphia. Pa., July 24.—The

cargo was consigned to Penrose & Burton,
old time Philadelphia ship broker*, who are

proved by its confinement in the lost skip
per’s cabin. A sextaut and pistol and rifles
were also found in the wreck.

Col. Shepard.

clerk a telegram received from Elliott F.
Shepard of the American Sabbath Union,

at Chicago.
Chicago, July 24. —Prosecuting Attorney
May has decided that no law exists for tho
closing of policy shops, and in accordance
with his declaration the keepers of the West
Side establishments were this morning dis
charged from custody. This decision is
based on an opinion by the appellate court
that the city ordinance against gambling
does not apply to policy, because it does not
describe the implements used in that line of
speculative investment.

GIVING out the funds.
TRICK3 OF SOME MEN TO GET
MORE THAN THEIR SHARE.
More Than One Member of a Family
Gets on the List and Thus Diverts
the Money—Tho End of the Work of
Distributing Not Yet in Sight.
Johxstow.v, July 24.—A freight wreck
occui red at the viaduct this morning and
•iota ined the men wno are assigned to assist
Judge Cummiu in the distribution of Gov.
Bea% er’s money for more than an hour,
iho long delay caused persons to fear that
the distribution was over and they were to
be left out iu the cold. When a part of the
commission arrived the room was crowded
an on the previous day. A number of
orders for money have been stopped by the
board of iuquity because of systematic
swindling on the part of some applicants
for redef. Some of the schemes resorted to
are decidedly ingenious, among them the
following; A father will register himself
and family and be placed in a certain class
by the,local committee, where he is followed
by some other member of his household,
the result being a double allowance to the
family. In this way some families have re
ceived cs much as $240, while it was the
purpose of the committee to allow bat $BO.
TAKES LOTS OF TIME.
The distribution of the $5u0,000 has cost
a great deal of tune and the end la not yet
in sight, as many who were sufferers to a
great extent have not yet been registered.
It is a difficult matter to place ail the blame
where it properly belongs, as ail ihe loeil
employes are working lixo beavers to finish
the task. Tne amount paid out on orders
to-day was $15,144. According to the
latest statistics carefully compiled
by the board of inquiry tho number of lives
lost in the devastated district was about
b,OOO. These figures may bo changed some
in the near future, as it is possible that a
low who aro reported missing may have
boon absent on a visit when the compilation
was made.

ALBERT FiNK’S SUCCESSOR.
Tho Place Said to Have Boon Offered
to Judge Cooley.
Chicago, July 24. —A local paper says a
report is current that the trunk lines are
making strong efforts to secure tho services
of Chairman Cooley, of the interstate com
merce commission, as commissioner of the
Trunk Lines Association, in place of Albert
Fink, whose resignation was accepted about
i month ago. It. is believed that Chairman
Cooley is considering the advisabihty of
accepting the $.5,000 position. Ho
is at present on a trip to the
I'acific const. Should Judge Cooley decide
to accept some people will he curious to
know how he will leconcile such action
with Ins previ >usly exp essed opinions that
it was tho right of impropriety for a man
holding a place on tho interstate commerce
commission to accept any position from the
railroad. Indued, the expression of such
an opinion will, ln the minds of many,
argue strongly against tho probability that,
Judge Cooley will accent any commission
at the hands of the railroad people.

INSANE AND IN TERROR,
PITIABLE PLIGHT OF A WOMAN
AT BRUNSWICK.
D* Constant Fear of Violence at He?
Husband’s Hands Doubt as to
Whether Her Husband Ia All Riffht
Mentally—The Pair Leave the City
Together.
Brunswick, Ga., July 34.—At the resi
dence of Mrs. Htook well in this citv there
is a pitiable to be seen. It is that of a
woman who has b en driven insane by the
abuse of her husband. She is the wife of
Frod Qroober, a man who is well known in
this city. For days past there have been*
rumors afloat to tho effect that Mrs. Groo
bor was iu the city and was a raving ma
niac. uttering shrieks loud enough for the.
neighbors to hear, while amid them all she
would scream out, “Don’t let him touoh
me.”
A RELATIVE INTERVIEWED.
The Morning News correspondent called
unoii Mrs. Stock well this morning, and
questioned her iu regard to the rumor. The
story she told ia as follows: “Fred Groober
married my son-in-law’s sister Miss Minter
Nici, and moved her out to bis home iu the
O' mtitry. On Sunday last he brought hie
wife into town, and placed her lu my son
in-law’s house without asking anything
about it. The poor woman was sick, aud IB
looked to me as if she was crazy, for she
was continually holding out her bands, ex
claiming: ‘Don’t let him strike me I’
ABUSIVE LANGUAGE.
“lie began to use abusive language to
ward her, and I made him stop. Mutters
passed on until last night, when rnysoif and
daughter had to come over to my house.
We left Groober with his wife, and when
we relumed tboy wore gone. It afterward
developed that he had taken her out to
ride. He brought her back ond sat her
down here and began to talk to her. I
made him leave and told him he
should not stay in my house.
Ho left and now the poor creature is here
on my hands, and is continually raving and
crying out for us to protect her. I cio not
know what to do, assho trios to break a-vay
and run, and it takes continual watching
to Keep her quiet."
THE STORY TRUE.
The story is true iu every particular, and
many say wumo than has been
pictured. The womau has relatives here,
but they are Germans ami do not know
what 1 1 do. It is thought, that Groober is
insano, as he acts strangely. He took his
wife back home to-day, and no one would
step him. Several people fear that ho will
kill her aud they say they will take steps to
have her placed in the a-ylum. The story,
when it became known, created a good
deal of talk and the matter will not stop
where it now is.
The Bartlesville bund has notified the
Atlantic* of this city tiiat for various
reasons they cannot accept their challenge
to play them.
