CAMP HAINES.
It Will Soon be Formally Opened
to the Brunswick Refugees.
Waycross, Ga., Aug. 31—Dr. Faget, a
yellow fever expert of great reputation,
whose father was un original investiga
tor in the cause and treatment of yellow
fever and became famous for his discov
eries, was sent from New Orleans, La.
to Brunswick by Surgeon General Wy
man. He is at Brunswick and will go to
Cainp Haines, where it is formally oi>ened
for Brunswick refugees. The govern
ment quarantine cam j is named Camp
Haines, in honor of Capt. George W.
Haines, the superintendent of the Bruns
wick and Western railroad, who has’donc
more than any other man towards the
establishment of the camp and in render
ing assistance to the Brunswick refugees.
The erroneous idea tnat the camp was
named in honor of Surgeon Hutton was
first sent to the press by tlie Brunswick
correspondent.
A yellow fever hospital will be erected
at a safe distance from Camp Haines.
Should it become necessary, Dr. Faget
will be stationed there and will have
charge. A disinfecting apparatus is be
ing arranged at the camps for the disin
fection of freights and baggage. It con
sists of a close mail car with a pipe ex
tending to a railroad steam engine. The
engine forces the steam at a temperature
of 212 degress through the piping into the
car.
There are about fifteen tents at the
camps which are occupied by the carpen
ters and laborers for the present. The
storm did no great damage to the build
ings at Camp Haines.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE CAMP.
Waycross, Ga. Aug. 31.—1 visited
Camp Haines to-day in company with rep
resentatives of Harper’s Weekly amd
the northen press, and we were enter
tained by George W. Haines, superinten
dent of the Brunswick and Western rail
road. Dinner was served in the dining room
of Mr. Haines’ private car, at the foot of
the hill upon which the camps are situa
ted. Sergeon Hutton arrived on the
government special train in the after
noon. The reporters, in company with
Mr. Haines, and Sergeons Hutton and
Magruder made a thoruogh inspection of
the grounds and buildings in the vicinity
of the caqyp. Camp Haines is situated on
a hill 55 feet above the sea level, at’
the source of Turtle river, which flows
through Brunswick, within four miles of
tide water and the head of navigation
and four miles above the intersection of
the Brunswick and Western and Florida
Central and Peninsular railroads. It is
in the Rumford settlement, where the
wealthy rice planters of the South Atlan
tic coast resided with their families in
ante-be-lmum times. The Mumford man
sion is the only residence left standing
which belonged to the planters. Several
ruins in the settlement show
where other residences former
ly stood. The Mumford residence
contains about eighteen rooms and is sur
rounded by a most beautiful grove of oaks
and other shady trees. About twenty
Brunswick refugees, composed of young
ladies and their mothers, are residing
there, and have been there since the
death of Surgeon Branham. They are
frequently seen horseback riding in the
vicinity. There are eight houses at the
camp. They are built on the corners of a
squure about the size of one acre. From
the warehouse a walk leads up the hill
fifty yards to where the dining rooms,
kitchen, commissary, telegraph office,
surgeon’s office and quartermaster’s office
are situated. The buildings are large
and commodious. The front portion of
the camp is slightly hidden from view
from the railroad by a dense growth of
oaks and pines. The square forms a
beautiful plateau. The location is most
desirable for its convenience to Bruns
wick. Darien, Jacksonville and Savannah.
A fever hospital is being erected half
mile south of the camp. Near there, just
across the source of Turtle river, is a
sulphur spring which has
for many years been visited by
numbers of people on account its efficacy
in curing certain diseases. The plan of
the government in selecting this spot for
the establishment of the government de
tention camps and sanatarium was an ex
cellent one. For the present it is not
known whether or not the camps will be
opened at all. It is certain that if no
further trouble follows in Brunswick it
will not be.
M’RAE’S DEFENSE.
Why She Would Not Quarantine
Against Brunswick.
Mcßae, Ga., Aug. 31.—1 notice that
City Marshal Wade of Savannah takes
some exceptions to the report of your cor
respondent from Mcßae. There was one
fact not brought out in that report wjiieh
the citizens of Mcßae desire explained.
That is that Mcßae does not include in
her incorporation the junction of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad
with the Savannah, Amerieus and Mont
gomery railroad, and therefore could not
control passengers about the junction, if
Mcßae had quarantined thousands might
have come to Helena and gone and Mc-
Rae’s quarantine would have been of no
avail. Hence Mcßae's quarantine would
have done Savannah no good whatever.
The marshal leaves tne impression that
it is penuriousness that kept Mcßae from
quarantining against Brunswick, and
that she cared nothing for the welfare of
any other place while #2 a night would
have been to Mcßae —to have kept up a
quarantine against Brunswick—about
what SBO a night would have been to Sa
vannah ; yet Mcßae would have done it
if she had seen any good in it to herself
or to the south. But she saw none with
with existing circumstances. Mcßae
glories m Marshal Wade's statement that
she is a dry town.
The city fathers will allow neither cider
nor grape juice sold, let alone anything
stronger, and her population is constantly
and rapidly increasing. There are four
or five new houses in process of erection
all the while. Mcßae has felt the money
stringency less than any other town in
the state.
Mcßae is not pentrious. She has al
ready helped Brunswick, and will again
if she gets in trouble, or any other place,
but she will not expend money unless it
will pay.

AN AERIAL OX-YOKE.
Queer Sights Seen by Several Truth
ful Pennsylvania Farmers.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Waynesburg, IV, Aug. 34.—The aver
sion of reputable men to notoriety has
kept the details of the story secret until
now. Last Thursday I. M. Grandon,
driving near the residence of the late
John Church, west of town, had his at
tention called by Charles Church to a
black object floating in space. Young
Church thought the object was a balloon.
Others of the family came out of the
house and beheld the same object.
Mr. Church relates that it appeared
to him about the size of n wheat shock.
He drove on. noticing the object occasion
ally gliding through the air overhead.
As he neared the railroad crossing he
heard a roaring sound which resembled
the noise of a rapid approaching train.
He believed a train was near and reined
up his horse. Just then a lady in the
buggy with him told him to look at the
trees in the Wisecarver woods, as the
tops of them appeured to bo touching the
ground. 4 He said the tops of the trees
were swaying back and forth as if they
were pressed by a violent storm, whilo
the train-like roaring seemed to be con
concentrated under the railraad bridge,
which is some distance from the trees.
The black object or substance referred
to descended in the woods, which seemed
to be the cause Of the commotion. The
strange spectacle and noise was heard by
B. Huffman, Bell Ward, William Camp
bell, William Durbin, James Newirian and
others in that vicinity. One said the
black substance resembled an ox yoke de
scending endwise. James Newman said
it appeared to be a cloud about ten feet
square, and the rumbling noise was that
of a flock of sheep over an iron roof. Mr,
Durbin said the noise was equal to thut
of ten camel-back engines. After the
commotion of the trees had subsided a
lady hastened to the scene, but failed to
discover anything unusual. The trees
and ground showed no signs of disturbing
elements or forces.
PULLED THE ARTIST’S EAR.
A Member of Parliament’s Revenge on
Harry Furniss for a Caricature.
From the Baltimore Sun.
London, Aug. 23.—This week’s Punch
contains an extravagant caricature of J.
G. Swift Macneill, nationalist M. P. for
South Donegal. In the caricature Mr.
Macnoill’s protruding front teeth are rep
resented as startling deformities. The
initials in the corner of the picture indi
cate that Harry Furniss is the author of
it. Ever since Punch appeared Mr. Mac
neill has been threatening to punch Mr.
Furniss tho moment they shoifld meet.
This evening the men came together in
the lobbjt. Mr. Macneill shoved his fist un
der Mr. Furniss’s nose and shouted: 1 ‘ Your
conduct has been blackguardedly. If you
were not such a little man I would kick
you. As it is, I will merely pull your
car.”
Mr. Macneill then grasped Mr. Furni ss’
ear, twisted it and shook it, at the same
time shaking Mr. Furniss. 'A group of
excited members gathered at once around
the two men, as a tight was supposed to
■bo threatening. Mr. Furniss. however,
did not strike a blow. As soon as he got
his ear'free ho hastened to the sergeant
at-arms with his complaint. No step has
been taken as yet to discipline Mr. Mac
neill. ■
DROP OVER $4,000,000 ON HOPS.
Disastrous Attempt to Corner the
Pacific Coast Crop.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 24.—New York
and London hop .buyers have dropped
just $4,050,000 by their failure to prevent
the hop growers on the Pacific coast from
raising money enough to harvest their
crop. A few weeks ago, when it was
known that the hop yield of Europe would
fall 100,000 bales short of the demand, a
bunch of New York and London dealers
who had plenty of money at their com
mand set about to corner the Pacific,
coast yield, which this year is 20,000 bales
above the average, or 150,000 bales in all.
The scheme was to advance money to
those needing it. Ezra Meeker, repre
senting the growers, secured an advance
of $15,000 from the Milwaukee brewers
and renewed negotiations with Lindsay,
Bird & Cos. of London, who have finally
cabled that they had arranged for the
cash to harvest the crop.
VERMONT WANTS TO KNOW.
Will Congressman Breckinridge De
liver His Lecture on Christian
Morals P
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Washington, Aug. 24.—What the Y. M.
C. A. Lecture Association, of Burlington,
St. Johnsbury and Rutland, Vt., want to
know is whether Congressman Breckin
ridge means to keep the engagements his
manager has made for him to lecture in
those places on the subject of "Christian
Morals;” or whether lie intends to treat
the Green Mountain people as he has
treated the Washington crowds who
flocked to hear him speak on silver as an
nounced, while at the time he was enjoy
ing life with his new wife at a summer
resort.
Vermont papers have hinted at the pro
priety of organizing new lecture associa
tions outside the Christian associations,
hut they have expressed no doubt as to
the size of the audience which would lis
ten to the silver-tongued and handsome
Kentuckian, for they hold that he is en
titled to attention until his case is de
cided.
FREE COINAGE IN ILLINOIS.
Snade and Fiah Stories Without
Either Parity or Ratio.
From the Chester (111 > Tribune.
T he fellows about the court, house are a
set of George Washingtons in one res|*vt
they never tell a lie, and anything told
having an appearance or even suspected
of an untruth brings down upon the head
of the offender the wrath of the whole
outfit. We went down the other evening
to unload a lot of fish lies on the gang,
but could not get the floor, and had to sit
and listen to a few cold facts which tvera
being narrated. Sam Cro/ior was relat
ing a snake story, about a joint
snake he saw' once. He and a friend
were going along the road and met
up with one of them. Ho struck it with
a stick and it flew to pieces. Concluding
from tlie way the reptile’s anatomy was
wrecked that they had found li rare
specimen of the snake tribe, and having
hoard that snakes of this brand could
put themselves together they, decided to
wait ami watch. Sure enough the frag
ments with tho head on soon settled down
to business and proceeded to hunt up the
balance of its cadaver. It soon found
three or four pieces, and after licking the
dirt off the ends of the sections, hitched
on to them. Sam says he did not see the
entire job completed, but lie is satisfied
from the work he did see that tho snake
completed the job in a satisfactory man
ner. No one disputed the story, nor even
expressed a doubt, for sam said lie could
prove the story easily by his friend—but
his friend happened to be dead.
Hoop snakes naturally folly joint snakes
and John Buatte knew of two cases where
this fearful snake got in his work One
was when Phil Murphy was driving down
the Kaskaskia road and a hoop snake
came rolling towards him. It did not get
qut of his way, but stmek the tongue of
his wagon. The poison worked so rapidly
that in less than five minutes every wheel
of tho vehicle was paralyzed and refused
to turn on the axles, and the axles them
selves were swollen to twice their size.
Another one was that a farmer was out
grubbing when a hoop snake came rolling
toward him. He stuck the handle of the
grubbing hoe towards it and the snake
struck the end of it with his horn The
poison instantly ran down the handle into
the eye of the hoe, which rapidly swelled
up and burst.
Then the silence which lell upon tho
group becoming oppressive, and not to be
outdone, we told how we went down to
Mary’s river that day with a ball of
twine and a few grasshoppers and, with
Jim Wassail, raked in the fish ; how we
would tie a hopper on the end of the
string; how a fish would catch on and wo
would tow him up the bank, break off a
piece of twine, tie it to a stick and stick
it down in the ground, and how the fish
would lie there aud smile; wliat a lot of
them we had, and how they kept coming
until the whole ball of twine was used
up; how we pulled up the sticks,
gathered the loose ends of string together
and started for town, the fish fol
lowing contentedly until we mot Frank
Crain on Patton Branch bridge, and he
told us that George Allison, Charlie Mc-
Pheeters and Adam Gerlach were coming
out: and then every pesky fish let go of
his hopper and flounced and Hopped down
into the water —wanted to have some fun
with the boys by stealing the bait from
the hooks without running any risk of
being caught. We managed, by hustling
right lively, to stop enough of them, prin
cipally black and striped bass, for a
couple of meals for our families, but the
balance arc probably at their old stamp
ing ground awaiting the arrival of ama
teur fishermen. And the fneeting then
adjourned.
TWENTY-TWO TONS OF GOLD.
Ten Millions of Dollars of the Shining
Metal Ooinir to the New York Sub-
Treasury.
From the New York Times.
Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 25.—Ten mil
lion dollars in gold packed in canvas
sacks came into Kansas City this morn
ing on the Santa Fe train from San Fran
cisco. The money was guarded by ton
United States deputy marshals armed
with Winchester rifles. The gold is for
the sub-treasury in Ni w York city.
The news of the arrival of so much
gold quickly spread at the union station/
and attracted a large crowd which
watched with interest the transfer of tho
bags to a baggage car on the Hock Island
railway. The deputy marshals stood
around with their Winchesters in their
hands and watched each bag jealously
while it was being placed in the car, and
the interest of the spectators did not
abate until the last sack of the metal had
been put out of sight in the train to be
taken to Chicago.
Only seven of the guards will accom
pany the gold on its way to Chicago, as
fear of train robbers and wreckers di
minishes as the west is left behind.
The gold is in twcnty-dollar and ten
dollar pieces, and it is estimated that the
whole shipment weighs about twenty-two
tons troy weight. If one were given per
mission to help himseif and staggered off
with a load of 300 pounds he would be en
riched to the extent of about #60,000.
The shipment left San Francisco Mon
day and will roach New York Sunday. On
arrival at New York it will be taken to
the sub-treasury. The route of the gold
from Chicago to New York is kept secret
by the government officials.

Orlando, Fla , June 2. 1892. —Messrs. Lipp
miin Bros.. Proprietors P. P. P., Savannah,
Ga.: Gentlemen—l feel it my duty to inform
you of the cure your wonderful medicine, P.
P. P., wrought in my case. I have suffered
for two years with dyspepsia and malaria in
the worst form, and was a daily sufferer from
sick headache. My bowels did not act but
twice a week, and frequently only once a
week. I could not retain half I ale and my
stomach was always uncomfortably heavy. I
have tried pills all kinds of medicine—but
only found temporary relief In them. I was
despondent and was hoping to soon find relfef
in death. Seeing your P I’.P. advertisement
I decided to try it, and requested Ur Peak to
get me a bottle. I have taken two bottles and
will soon get another, and I can now eat in
peace and enjoy everything, and can sleep
like a top. My headaches have ceased and
my bowels are regular I would advise all
sufferers like myself to give P. P. p. a trial,
and they will write you as 1 have, that P P
P. beats any medioine on the market Yours

COTTOLENE.
A
Revolution
In Eating
has been brought about by the
introduction of Cottolf.ne, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is well known that thous
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything of that kind.
To such people, Cottolene is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. Cottolene
is a cooking marvel. It combines
with the food—imparts to it a
tempting colo*-, a delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
Cottolene is worthy of the
careful notice of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.
