nearly twice the capital. It 1ms put up a

ory, an immense*ice and bottling works, a
sash Ad blind factory, a broom factory
opened trp the finest granite quarry in the
Ui.ited State', and has many other enter¬
prises in outemplatiou. It has secured
another ailroad ninety miles long, and while
■ ^igyS n'the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
tha W st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to it s ultima'e completion. With
Its five white and three colored
oUarehes.it is now building a $10,000 new
Pre'byteriaa church. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at.
traded around its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyards, it is the home of the
grape and its wine making capacity 1ms
doubled every year. I has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a bait decade
and simply shows the progress of au already
admirable city, with the naturul advantages
of having tiie finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.

the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬

The Fever Growing Worse at Fernandlna

not Infected.
Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 18.—It has
been decidedly warm, and there appears
to be little hope that the fever will dis¬
appear, or even decrease much, so long
as the temperature remains as high as at
present.
The auxiliary association has an¬
nounced contributions of cash amount¬
ing to $2,451. The finance committee is
at present engaged in receiving reports,
and in making estimates, in order that
they may determine whether or not
to shut off the bountiful help which is
still coming in from almost every state
in the Union. Nearly ten days ago they
had hoped to have sufficient data at
hand, but circumstances have conspired
to delay the reports. A week ago they
confidently expected to have been able to
take some action on Monday last. Nearly
another decision in week the has elapsed and still no
matter has been reached.
The relief committee is cutting down
expenses sanitation rapidly, and and the committee on
on the county are giving
employment which enables to them many to be hundred self-support¬ men,
ing, and puts money into the channels of
trade. But the fever is still here, and
until its disappearance the city cannot,
of course, assume its normal condition.
Much may be done, however, to enliven
business if affairs are rightly managed.
The funeral Dr. ’
of J. M. Fairlic was
appointed largely attended. The association has
a committee to prepare suita¬
ble resolutions on his death. He will be
greatly missed here.
A day or two ago authority was asked
bv Dr. Porter to enter all premises for
the purpose of fumigation and disinfec¬
tion, but as yet he has not been clothed
with the proper authority. The ques¬
tion of epidemic, general disinfection at the close
of the bids fair to become one
of deep who moment to the public, especially

New York, Oct. 18.—The following
telegrams have been received by Secre¬
tary W. B. C. Duryee, of the Fernandi-
na committee in this city:
Fern an din a, Fla., Oct. 15. —New cases

Our reports do not show the full num¬
ber of cases, as in some instances negroes

ease is somewhat more severe. The num¬
ber of those calling on the association

bor is called for on the part of those in
charge.

The Situation al Decatur.
Decatur, Ala., Oct. 18.—Only two
new cases in the last twenty hours. No
deaths; but one case dangerous. I want
to say again that all quarantines on north
Alabama should he removed. The argu¬
ment of abundance of precaution has
been pushed to the absurd extreme. Peo¬
ple have taken counsel of their fears and
have been deaf to the dictates of the
judgment of experts. Yellow fever at
this season of the year, and in this lati¬
tude. cannot gain lodgment anywhere
against u.s. We will have a few more
cases in Decatur, because the disease has
a 1 read v taken root here in portions of
the towns, but outside of these infected
districts our refugees have not commu¬
nicated the disease to anybody. All old of
New Decatur and three-fourths of
Decatur are still free from the infection.

Boston, Oct. 18.—(Special.]—Mrs. Jos.
L. Hurd, intermediate passenger on the
Scythia, was suspected yesterday of con¬
cealing dutable goods. Search revealed
the existence of a double petticoat, in
which were hidden two silk dress pat¬
terns, twenty yards each: ten yards of
heavy cloth and as much flannel. This
morning there was a hearing given by
Collector Saltonstall. Mrs. Hurd was
represented by her husband. The hear¬
ing was private, but the result was an¬

and the imposition of a fine to
value of the goods on appraisement. The
matter will be allowed to drop on the
payment of the fine.

Reaves, Astor house.
Mr. Reaves told a World reporter that
he had married Miss Wallace two
months ago in the west. He did not
know whether her friends knew of it or
not, and so advertised under her maiden
name. She died suddenly a week ago,
and all lie knew of her relatives was
that her father, stepmother and little
sister Elsie, lived somewhere in Connect¬
icut, and her grandfather, who she said
was an expressman in Brooklyn.

— He Say** He Wants to Catch
tho Robber.
London Oct. 18.— Sy More!I Macken¬
zie's book and its premature publication
are still the great subject of the day. Sir
Morell and his publishers seem wild with
indignation, and have issued a circular
to the press, mistating that what has
been published by the American and
the London papers does not give a fair
view. The author does not contest the
accuracy of the advance publication,
but affects to hold that the text, without
the accompanying plates is misleading.
The general public who read the advance
sheets are quitecontent. additional The plates might
convey something to the
hypercritical professional mind, but lay
readers are satisfied to judge by the text,
which they do understand, rather than
by a series of plates, which do not con¬
vey much their minds. Sir Morel 1 is
thought to be trying to alter public opin¬
ion, and making a lame rolls- attempt strongly. of it.
The tide of opinion people here though Sir

Morell wasted time by hesitation, when
time was a matter of life and death. At
the same time anything public approaching opinion acquits Sir
Morell of wanton
malice or conscious carelessness. As

and people find it hard to decide whether
the English specialist did or did not pre¬
vent a change in the succession to the
imperial throne by declining to acknowl¬
edge the presence of cancer from the
outset.
Sir Morell Mackenzie expects to make
£50,000 by his book, and while the book¬
sellers' orders are heavy, when the pub¬
lic ascertain that tho greater part of the
work consists of a medical controversy,
very technical in its nature, they will
not be eager to buy it. The public had
been looking for a highly dramatic ac¬
count of the late emperor's Mackenzie savings and
doings during the mouths at¬
tended him.
They now see that what is offered
| them is merely a professional medical journals record of
a qgse, such as the pub¬
lish every week.
Sir Morell has been interviewed on the
subject of the premature p iblicntion.
He said:
“You see I had sold the sole American

Emperor William Displeased.
Berlin, Oct. 18. —The publication of
Dr. Mackenzie’s work in England, giving
a clinical history of the malady Edperor termi¬
nating in the death of the Fred¬

also reflected on the Empress Victoria.
Dr. Mackenzie is now beyond the reach
of a state prosecution, which would un¬
questionably be instituted' were he re¬

seen in the line at every prwession. The
great feature is the drum corps, com¬

but they make considerable noise, and
everything helps. This state does not
run to expensive banners as we do
in New York, nor to expensive
uniforms, although many of the
clubs are handsomely dressed. This
applies more carefully forcibly to the democrats,
who are hoarding all super¬
fluous cash to prevent a repetition of
the snap game in 1880, when the repub¬

their judgment as readers, but they want
to see for themselves the famous men
who are taking oratorical sides in this
fight, and to hear arguments rather than
