To-day haa been another gloomy day.
4n y people bad resolved to stick it through
p this hour, hut the figures, 34, in this
orning’s bulletin were too much. The real
port was S3, but L. E. Daney, who died

ifference of one. Health certificates have
•en in great demand all day, and the noon

Intense indignation was caused here by
the action of the surgeon general in stop
ping refugees from going to healthy points
to which they have been invited, and re
quiring that all be detained at the quaran
tine camp. President Daniels of the Citi
zen’s Auxilliary Sanitary Association, tele
graphed a vigorous protest, asserting that
many of our Dcst citizens would prefer to
keep their wives and children in the stricken
city rather than subject them to the expos
ure,, without protection, of a m'xed
quarantine camp where there is no
hospital for the suitable care of any taken
with the fever. The case of young Pollard

outlets from this city to points north of us,
which invite the starving people of our
stricken city to come and enjoy their
hospitality in peace and safety. All
who desire to leave and all who
can should depait at once, but they are re
quired to pass a weary period in a crowded
and rude quarantine camp, subject to con
tact witli the worst classes and the certainty,
if they develop fever, of being hustled on a
train and hauled back to Jacksonville before
they i nn have the attention that is mi vitally
important in the early Btages of the disease.
The death of young'Pollard was doubtless
due to the action of the authorities in send
ing him back to this city.

THE 1IAGGINO COMBINE.
A Member of the Pool Tells How It was
Formed nnd tlie Price Doubled.
Washington, Aug. 30.—The Senate com
mlttee on finance, acting under a resolution
offered by Mr. Jones of Arkansas, has been
examining Appleton Sturgis of New York,
president of the Eagle Gunny Cloth Mill,
for the last three days in respect to the
cotton baggin pool.
The witne s, in reply to Mr. Harris, said
the arrangement was not a trust or combina
tion. It aid not include all the manufactur
ers. He called it “a sympathetic movement
of part of the manufacturer* interested and
a few other parties who have joined them
selves witli the manufacturers.” He said
that the manufacturers o f gunny cloth had
been ioBiog money for the last two years.
It coine to such a point last September and
October that all the smaller mills had to
stop and the larger mills cnlv ran into No-
vember and December, instead of ruoniog
riithi alone. They were hoping that the
new year would give them little bettcrprlces
and better prospects.
While waiting, the Mills bill was intro'
dsccd and bagging was put on the free list.
Several gentlemen inteiested came on and
saw the w ays nnd means committee and rep
resented that to put bagging on the free list
would “wipe them out." They spent several
weeks and finally, finding they “could not
get any justice from that committee, or any
show at all for living another year, we de
termined that if we could not do any better
we would nt least make what money we
could thia year.”
The larger mills then enterred into an
arrangement and the smaller ones were
leased.
The price went up from 6 and 8X to 12
cents a pound. Witness submitted copies of
contracts under which the firms acted to
gether and gave a list of the firms.
HARRISON NOT A WINNING MAN.
Rrntcn for Almost Every Office He Ever

From the New York World
PlTTUURG, Aug. 26.—J. R. l'ritts, of In-
dinnapoiis, superintendent of pension ex-
amiuera in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin
Indiana and Dakota, passed through here
yesterday en route to his home. He thinks
there is little doubt of Cleveland’* election.
Speaking of how the fisheries message was
received in Washington, lie said:
“Why.it took the people by storm. I
never saw such enthusissm jn my life.
When that message was read in the House
the democrats fairly went wild, but there
was not a smile on the faces of the repub
licans. The message will make thousands
of votes for the ticket. Mr. Blaine’s boom
lias proved a boomerang to the republi
cans. His defense of the trusts will kill
him. I admit that lie is a very smart man,
but he makes mistakes, like the rest of us.
As to New York, you will see that Cleve
land will carry it by a large majority.
Whv, they are betting there now 10O to 30
on Cleveland, with few takers.”
“How about Indiana?”
“Indiana? Why, it will go from 15,000
to 10,000 for Cleveland. All the laboring
men are for the democratic nominee, and
solidly against ^Harrison.” The dinners in Michigan.

rose, better known to the English people ns
the “Red Duchess,” owing to tiio fact that
she frequently appeared on Newmarket
Heath, at Goodwood and at Ascot races
robed in scarlet from the summit of her
Alpine hat to the heels of her dainty
“bottoms,” has just sprung another mine
on London society by taking unto herself
a third husband in the person of Marcus
Henry Miner, the 24-year-old brother of
the Countess of Durham. Duchess Caro
line is in her 71st year, and gave her first
hostage to fortune in the person of the
present Duke of Montrose as far back a.s
1845, having made her first matrimonial
venture with the late Duke iu 1836, some-
tliing uver half a century an". Her first
husband died in 1874, ami thirteen
niont’s later she was married to W. S.
Stirling Crawford, a Scotch millionaire of
ancient lineage, best known to English
men as an enthusiastic patron of the turf.
The duchess, never on particularly cor
dial terms with the relatives of her first
husband, broke altogether witli tlie'family
when she married Mr. Crawford. She
speedily developed a love of horse-racing,
even more ardent than that of her new
husband, and on his death, which occurred
after some eight years ot uninterrupted
felicity, the Duchess apparently resolved to
to devote the remainder af her life to two
objects—the winning of races and the erec
tion of a magnificent and costly mausoleum
in memory of her second husband. She
selected Newmarket, the headquarters of
racing in England, for the mortuary chapel,
which at a cost of something like $250,000
slie built and dedicated to Mr. Crawford.
Then she added largely to her late hus
band’s racing stud, undertook to manage
it herself, bet hcavily ( hardly ever missed
attending a race meeting where her horses
were competitors, and associated almost
exclusively with followers of the turf.
Soon the duchess found that it needed a
wiser head than her own to compete suc
cessfully with tiie diplomats of the racing
world, so the secured the services of the
astute Captain Macheli as a master of the
horse, and for a time fortune smiled on
her scarlet banner. But a few reverses of
fortune caused the erratic lady lo lose con
fidence in the wily captain, and the busi
ness connection between the son of Mars
and the “Red Duchess” was summarily
severed. The next manager of the 6tables
was Sir John Willoughby, but his directO'
rate was a short one, and of late the
duchess has managed the affairs of tiie
stable herself, racing her thoroughbreds
under the name of “Mr. Manton,” and, it
must be confissed far more successfully
ihuu diu cither the caplaiu or the baropei.
Almost every jockey of recognized
ability has at one time or another ridden
in her colors, but she has quarreled with
nearly every one of fhem. The late Fred
Archer stood high in her esteem at one
time, and a year or so after the champion
jockey became a widower it was currently
rumored that the duchess and the “crack”
jockey were likely to make a match of it.
Before Archer’s untimely death, however,
he had fallen out with hia titled employer,
although the breach was partially healed
and he again sported the Manton “scarlet’
shortly before his death.
The Duchess is a plain-spoken woi
and can swi ar roundly at a peccant jockey
when she deems thnt liis unskillful riding
demands such verbal correction. She is
cordially disliked by nine-tenths of the
knights of tho pigskin, nnd although she
always liberally rewards those jockeys
who ride her horses to victory, more than
one rider has “begged to bo excused”
when invited to don tho Manton colors.
Gruff and Alec Taylor, who still train for
the Duchess of Montrose, nlthougli tiicy
have quarreled again and again to tiie
verge of separation on questions of stable
policy, gave the lady the retort courteous
after the victory of fhebair in the Liver-
pil'd Autumn cup mumc three years ago.
The Duchess won a heavy staiic over the
race and was consequently in the best of
humor when she encountered her trainer
in the weighing room a few minutes after
the race.
“Taylor, there is no mistake about it,
veu are a prince among trainers,” was
her cheery salutation as she extended a
red gaumletcd hand to the crabbed old
horseman.
/“Yes, your grace, I know I am—when I
win,” made answer the old fellow, as he
bowed in mock reverence over the irasci
ble employer’s gloved fingers.
The position of the Dowiger Duchess of
Montrose in society is not easy to define.
Everybody, from the Prince of Wales to
the tiniest mite of n light-weight rider
knows her on a race course. The Prince
may be seen at her side, hat in hand, con
gratulating her after the all scarlet has
just flashed past the wire a winner, while
the nute in passing will raise his forefinger
to the peak of his cap with a “Glad your
Grace won.” Into society properly, that
exclusive circle which tolerate neither
eccentricity nor vulgarity, if exhibited to
the world at large, the Duche-s goes hut
little, for the best of all possible reasons,
that she receives but few invitations.

THE LETTKR,
The following is the texttf Litchmnn’s
letter:
, PniLADKLrniA, Aug. 27.—Hon. Matthew
S. Quay, chairman national republican com-
untie—Dear Sir: My connection with tho
labor for the past fourteen years has made it
necess;irv for me to he a clo>e student of the
cause* of labor depression and of the needs
of those who toil. While, ns a hotly, a labor
organization may refrain from active partici
pation in politics, so much of what orgunized
labor demands must be obtained through
legislation that the individual member of a
labor must act politically as, in his judg
ment, will best aid the aims and objects ex
pressed in the principles of the organization
he represents and wnose success he desires.
In the gigantic political struggle now begun
side issues count as nothing except to aid or
hinder one of the principal combatants in
the political arena. However sincere mav
be the advocate of measures to secure which
these separate political organizations are
formed, and whatever strength iu votes may
be shown at. the polls, the fact remains
that the candidate of either the Republican
or the Democratic party will be the next
President of the United States. Therefore,
to him who has the good of his country and
the welfare of her people at heart a neces
sity exists to choose to ovhich of these two
old paity organizations shall be given his
aid, either directly or indirectly, by voice or
vote. While it may be that neitner party
uflom bu iiiat the labor organizations desire,
I belierc limi llio Republican party, in
adopting and advocating the American sys
tem of encouragement and protection to the
labor and wages of our own land, is nearer
the declaration aud desires of organized
labor thin its free trade opponent, tiie Dem
ocratic tarty. The conflict is between the
Adiericuu system, as represented by the
lt«u>iih1o>[«n party, which would fender and
encourage the labor of our own people and
retain,'.- •• them the market and wages of our
owij' . eoi« r y f am l the British system, as
re*. »re* hi by the Democratic party, which
at. jit, aidown the barriers of protection
and tjbow open our home market to the
productions of foreign factories and foreign
labor,.thus making idle our own toilers and
rcuUciuir io a lournr l«vnl a?amTnr>i f%{
American wages
When the Knights of Labor and kindred
organizations shall have obtained in foreign
lands the same commanding position and
influence enjoyed in the United States,
inequality iu wages will disappear, not by
levelling our wages down, but by levelling
their wages up. It is far better to level up
than level down, ns the larger the income
the larger is the power to consume.
IMMIGRATION.
Until this equalization can be accom
plished, and until the wages of labor abroad
•hall eqa*l those at home, there must be a
proper restriction of immigration so that our
land may not be dumping ground of the
paupers and degraded labor of the balance
of the world. This restriction, supplemented
by the con inu«tion of a thorough, systematic
organization of labor already here, iu con
junction with tho American idea of protec
tion to American labor, cannot fail to'secure
for our people the best results of their toil,
and by our example lift the labor of the
whole world t% a higher and better p'ane of
existence. Whichever party wins, something
must be done to regulate more strictly this
inij»i»i lation of foreign 1 $l»«>r under contract
and immigration of paupers and dependents.
If nothing should be done, then democratic
success would mean not only free trade in
goods made by pauper labor but the impor
tation of both labor and the goods. While
under free trade goods may be cheaper to
the consumer in certain lines, the labor made
idle ia these lines must turn to other means
of employment *and thus, by competition,
compel a lower rate of wages to those
already employed therein. The power of the
workingman to consume depends upon what
he receives for his labor. Unemployed, his
power to consume, except on charity or
theft, ceases. I prefer that America should
be the land of workers rather than the land
of thieves and paupers. What is true indi
viduals is 'equally true of the nation. The
primary element* of national wealth and
national prosperity are production, distribu
tion aud consumption. Whatever aflects
the power of labor to consume, aflects the
entire ii.tercbU of the nation; whatever
lowers ii‘e wages of labor aflects its power
to consume. An “iverage reduction” of
7 per centum on the cost of goods im
ported will not compensate American labor
tor tue b us ot lf.O per centum in wages in
the line allected, and of from 10 to 60 per
L *«jpts io tne imes oi employment

OEUnARD A VKUY SICK SIAN.
Mrs. Langtr;** Admirer Suflerlng from
Melancholia— Itrnln Affection Feared.
From the New York Star.
Another prominent club man is broken
in health. Following close upon the death
of Larry Jerome and the serious illness of
A. Wrieht Sanlord, both prominent in
club life, comes the announcement that
Fred Gebhard has bi e.i stricken down.
He is suffering from melancholia, and is
said to have un affection of the brain.
An intimate triend of Mr. Gebhard and
Mrs. Langtry told a reporter yesteHry
that Gebhard was really dangerously i’l.
“Although Mr. Gebhard has always been
considered a powerful man physically,"
the Star’s informant said, “he, in fact, lias
been in poor health lot Tbe inju
ries he received in tiie beawanliaka acci
dent, when his back was torn so terribly,
completely racked his whole system. In
looking at him one would have tho im
pression that he wasstrongand hearty, but
he is not. Lately ho lias been failing
fast. I saw him a month or so ago and lie
looked about ns usual, but when I met
him last week at Long Branch I hardly
knew [lie man. -.n gu-.it the eliani;*'. He woe
thin and haggard. His face a:; color
less, and to tell you my candid opinion it
seemed to me as if the man was di ing. 1
was at the theater snd spoke to Gebhard
about his horses. His mouth quivered,
and not to see him cry I turned away.
“I know personally that he has daily fits
of weeping and "ib very despondent, lie
was greatly in love with his horses and
the destruction of most ot them nearly
broke his heart. That street rogue, Eole,
was bin especial favorite, and his tragic
dentil was n sad tilow to the yrung man
The story* published that Gehlnud wen
to the wreck and looked over the ruins
and at tiie bodies of tiie racers is wrong.
His cousin went and St was U who
was mistaken for Mr. Gebhard who did
not have the heart to go near tiie wreck
“Mrs. Langtry has been very solicitou-
about Gcbhard's health since the accident,
I suggested a trip across the water, think
ing a change of air and scene would lie
beneficial. Both looked ujion tiie' sugger
tion with fnvor, but I cannot say wheflic
Gebhard sailed Saturday or noL I
hardly think that his name would appear
on the passenger list, for he rarely regis
ters when crossing the water. Mre. Lang
try would have accompanied him did not
her plans and engagement* interfere.”
Tho reporter asked if there was any
truth in the many stories going the rounds
of the press about tho marriage of Geb
hard and Mr*. Langtry at an early day.
“I really cannot answer that question,"
was the reply. “When I have conversed
witli Mrs. Langtry about the mailer situ
waa non-committal, merely saying that she
was still a married woman. I know she
has a great affection for him; and h
well be is a man of strong feelings. He
either likes you very much or not at all
Most of the stories I know to he untrue.
It grieves Mrs. Langtry very much to
have them circulated. The one about
drinking wine ont of the Geraldine-Ro-
santim cup at Monmouth Park waa ab
solutely scurrilous. It i* true that a bottle
Of wine waa poured into the cup and that
the ladies in the party took a sip, but as
for drinking from it until some were under
the influence of the liquor is a positive
falsehood. Why, the thing is absurd. You
can imagine how pleasant it would be
drinking irom the cup. It weighs—well,
you can guess how much when I tell you
it is nearly all silver and cost $250. That
would he a nice thing to hand around,
wouldn’t it?”
From another person, a friend of Sir.
Gebhard, it was learned that he and his
valet did sail on the La Champagne, and
that for the past three weeks the young
man has acted strangely unlike himself.
He haa been morose and has shunned his
old friends. Several times he has been
seen crying in public. It is feared by

some that he is suffering from brain trou
ble and that the shock and sorrow over
tub of bio isred roevra ha: only
made the malady more acute. That he
has gone abroad to arrange so that
Mrs. Langtry tan procure a divorce is
not believed by any of those who
know Mr. Gebhard’s real condition.
Should he recover his health and strength
he may buy some thoroughbreds to recruit
his stable, but for the time being nothing
will be thought of but the alarming con
dition of his health.
Mrs. Langtry will open her regular sea
son at Omaha In October, hut it is said on
good authority that she may be seen in
this city before that time. There is a
vacant week at the Grand Onera Home
which the actress hai been asked to take,
and if nothing un/ori seen happens she
will play there in September.

taking a choice, lat pig whenever they get
a chance. Night before last, just before
dark, he heard a fearful squealing in the
direction of tiie lake, and, suspecting it*
cause, he crabbed his double-barreled shot
gun nnd hurried out. Not seeing the pig,
he waded out some distance before he ascer
tained just where and what the trouble
waa.
Finally, amid a lot of “bonnets” aud
weeds, he found one of his best l>orker«
struggling in shout two and one-half feet
of water, trying to escape from somcuusi i a
foe miller the water that -•■eiiiid to hold it
in a close grip. Foster tossed his gun to
the shore, ami, yelling to a neighbor living
near by for his assistance, he jumped for
ward, and, seizing the hog by the ears, en
deavored to assist it. As he pulled tho
animal forward and out of the water ho
discovered that a big ’gator had hold of
tiie hog’s haunches and was holding oix
wilh a deallsgrip. It was 1 lien a turale nf
main Btrength. Tiie ’gator suiged hack ami
forth, now pulling Foster into deep water
and then being drawn nearer shore by tho
colored man's energetic maneuvers.
The colored man swore and called for
help, tiie poor pig squealed loud ami long,
and the ’gator added to tho din by hoarso
growls of rage and anger. For fifteen min
utes the contest continued, and the water
was threshed considerably by the combat
ants. Finally the negro Joe Hand ap
proached witli the gun, and, wading out
close to the ’gator, put a load of buckshot
into tho brute's head. This only seemed
to enrage the saurian more, and by n
tremendous effort he succeeded in pulling
Foster and the pig jnto deeper
water. But just before going under,
Hand poured another dose of buckshot
into him, which disabled him so that Fos
ter regained hh ground. Though nearly
dead tho gator clung to the pig. aud was
drawn nearly on to dry land before it let
go and attempted' to retreat. Itwnsthen
too late, as Hand and Foster both seized
fence rails and soon rendered the bruto
hors do combat. Tbe poor pig had to be
killed, as the ’gator’s long tee'll had near
ly cut off its hind legs. The saurian was
about fourteen feet iongand six feet round
the largest portion of its body.
Since the pigs have made it a practice to
root along the shore of the lake, it would
seem ns if tiie ’gators in the entire body of
water had crowded over to tliiH side. Oa
sunny days over seventy-five noses have
becn’coun’ted in a space equal t« an acre,
and dozens can be seen on the sandy pits at
all sides. Pigs and dogs are favorites of
theirs, and they will fight for siieh a meal
any d y.
