. WHAT THE FFVER18 DOING. JacksonvUle shows only sixteen new cases yesterday, and three deaths. The total number of cases to date have been 4,059, and total deaths 348. Bishop Weed is improving, and is now considered out of danger. The schooner Nettie Langdon is unloading a cargoof coal in Jackson ville. This is the first vessel in two months. She.wiU carry lumber, pis Baldwin is how on the list, and the mail will probably be sent by an- shoes that he had taken off on com other route. The Jacksonville correspondent of the Savannah' News has received from Connecticut a car load of apples for distribution among the convales- onts,. Enterprise still has cases of fever, bntno deaths. Sanford denies having any fever. Ferhandina reported seventeen new cases yesterday. Decatur has no, new cases or deaths, but is in the greatest need of help. The Mayor appeals moBt ur gently to the public. ing home late Saturday night These he took out on the back poreli,search ed them carefully for filthy lucre, and finding none, threw them down and went away disgusted. In view of his consideration in not carrying off that fat Snnday dinner goose, Mr. K says toe can inform him that if he returns next Saturday night be may find a pice lunch spread on that same table and a fine Havana to taper ofi on. We despise the chronic grumbler, but being a newspaper man to whom the public continually come to have its wrongs righted, \ve often appear in that light. Oti* attention has .been palled within the last 34 hours gr’tb tne condition of our - gas lights f. along our Btreets. The lamp at the corner of Union and George streets is not lit more than half Of the time, loes hol remain lit, and it was not burning.last night The one at the corner of Union and Mansfield last night gave about two candle power. Some others burned brighter, but all that we sgw had a sickly look, and needed attention.' Unless something is done to remedy this evil somebody will lay on an injunction on the city for paying for laid lights, and then there will be another law suit. We are paying a good price for'gas and ought to have the value of our money. We learn that some of the Aldermen aro getting worked up on this sub ject, so we may loqk but for a dash at the contractors when the Council next meets. More Churches. Rev. A. G. P. Dodge has placed with Cook Bros. d^jgCo., orders for lumber for three buildings, two churohes and a Rectory, all of which will be put up in Brunswick. One of the churohes will be a mission church for the whites in the upper end of town, the other edifice and the Rectory will be located at the corner of Monk and Albany streets, adjacent to the present St. Athanasius school building. These buildings will be erected by Mr. Dodge out of funds in his possesion for that purpose.. He has mapped out a big work in this seacoast section, all of which will bounder his immediate super vision- His whole heart seems to be in this mission work, which he is pushing vigorously forward. li - . Square Riggers. • If square rigged vessels be an in dication of business, our people are snrely doing something in that line. There are sixteen of those crafts now lying in our sound, ready to come up to their berths, hesides those already loading here aid at St Simons. ‘These together with five or six steamships,, a dozen or more schooners, etc., present quite on imposing sight—a regular fleet, re minding one of the harbor of some city tb'qt makes bigger pretentions than ours. That Gentlemanly Burglar. The recent capturing nnd killing of burglars has not yet gotten the entire force. 'The gentlemanly bur glar," as he is known, is still at large. He visited Mr. Mtchaelis Kaiser’s residence last Saturday night, prssed right by a nice, fat, un cooked goose on the table, and ,a lot of silver-ware, ransacked a number of fonoy boxes up stairs containing gloves, eto., but took nothing. Com ing down stairs, he found in the hall* way. Mr. Kaiser’s wet coat, vest and Thirteen Vessels And! dred or Six Hundr ' Stuck lkst. Darien Items from the Gazette. McIntosh county needs a county court. All quarantine will tie taken off on Thursday next. The Darien bank will be ready for business by Jan. 1. The quarantine cost the city; and county about $300 a month. Work on the artesian well is still going on. There are now five steamers on the river route. President R. K. Walker of the Da rien Short Line hoa"pnrchased South* erland’ Bluff. There is but very little timber com ing down at present although the rivers are in good rafting condition. It is the duty of our citizens to assist the committee in getting a fine exhibit for the Stato Fair from old McIntosh county. We have prom ised to show Georgia and the South what we can do and it is the duty of every good citizen to work to this end. The Doboy property of the late John Browne will be sold on Novem ber 6th. Saw mill men who are look ing for a mill site at one of the great Southern timber ports could do no better than to purchase this prop erty. San Francisco, Oct. 2? whaling bark J. A.

The Howland reports catch of the entire whaling! to a month ago was 122, the j number of whioh wore tat sols now fast in the ice, Th of the perilous situation ofi sols was brought to the whalij dezvous by the bark Lucret master of that vessel report when he left the ice, Sept.-1 others woro firmly fixed in ! apparently not the remotest of getting out. The position vessels was about latitude 7 and longitude 174 west. NEAR HERALD ISLAND. The point is about twenty from Herald island and place where the Jeannette perienced a tie-up. Ther Che a card the other day giving the ma sons why he had become a democrat. They were very good reasons, Ibut they seem notto have satisfied every body, for he received by tho next mail a communication with many pictures of skulls, cross-bonesj cof fins, etc. The mailing of this docu ment would have been a kuklux out rage, had the negro continued to be a good republican, but under tho cir cumstances wo will hear no howl from the New York Tribune. That great journal confines its sympathy to republican negroes and its curses' to democratic whites. The Recorder says: A young lady who wanted ter shoto that she had the belt and Smartest scholars in the Sunday School, meeting one on Lee street she called to him to stop. Af ter introducing him to the young gentleman that was escorting her to ohurch, she said to tho boy: "John nie, why did yon not. Attend Sunday School this morning, you |must have been sick?” “No, f had to stay at home and kill a cat." The young lady moved on. A Georgia editor makes the follow ing announcement in hie local col umns: “We have on hand an excel lent clothes wisher, which wo got for a year’s advertising. As we'have ho clothes to wash, we ore offering the thing for sale cheap, and to the per son buying we Will thirow in a free local notice and a year’s subBorlptton to our paper.” t*. The old dodge of taking the vot up vessels, and unless the up before long they will not to survive, as their provision! hold out. A relief party wt ized for Fox island, and the i breaks -able cannot oi-gan- eamers tain their We am glad to see evidence* that one republican paper has some ecru- pies on tho subject of betting. It is ho credit to elthor party that Wagers am publicly offered and taken on the Presidential candidates just as if they were horses on the race course, and the openness of the shameless conduot is a'disgraoe to the nation. The adventurous in both parties Boem to bo brazen in their disregard to.the moral and legal prohibitions of such a course. The Philadelphia Telegraph, republican, says: The statement that a quarter of a million dollars of republican campaign mon ey is locked up in wagers on the Pres- . idcntial contest for the purpose of building the chances'#f Mr. Harri son is probably a very, great exagger ation, but there is entirely too moch reason for-tho belief that the story has substantial basis in fact. It will be remembered that some ten days ago the first incident reported in this . connection was the remarkable ac- gwg tion ofthe sergeant-at-arms of the Republican National Committee who defiantly flourished a ten thousand dollar raeck in hotel lobbies in New York. Of course tho challenge was. accepted; and the real work begun oh both BldeB, The whole business is a burning disgrace to every one con nected with it or in any way respon sible therefor. It is demoralizing to the last degree; and will accomplish no good to anybody, but bring infin ite harm to many. The national managers, both I republican and dem ocratic, owe it to themselves and the ;anizatlons they represent to clear Freeman and Thrasher were loaded with supplies and started as soon as possible for the vessels. The result of this expedition is awaited with considerable anxiety. Another vessel with further par ticulars is expected to arrivo here from the Artie iu a few days. Seven of the whalers are from New Bedford. The value of tho thirteen vesels, in cluding the season’s catcb, which they have aboard, will aggregate over $500,000. now being resorted to. The demo cratio interviewers always find a sol id train load for Cleveland, while the republicans find that all the travel ers these days are - for Harrison. Rather queer, and yet just what might be expected.

Hon. W. G. Brantly Indorsed. Blagkshear, Ga„ Oct. 27.—-The Sentenced. Peirce Superior Court finished up, grand jury completed their labors The Pine Straw Industry. The great majorfey ot the farmers of the south are compelled to use jute bagging this year, biit there can be no doubt that arrangements are making, which will hot only smash the bugging trust,' but will result in the substitution of other materials for covering tho cdtton crop of the south. The Atlanta Constitution says: The enumeration of the Georgia Behoof population shows some inter esting foot!: That number of chil* dreff between the years of sfx and eighteen has increased 52,050 since 1882.

Charlie Johnson, also colored, and Charlie 'Williams, burglary, sentenc ed from three to ten years in-tho pen itentiary. Oliver Tomlins, stabbing! twelve months in chain gang. Julius Hays, larceny from the house, 12 months on the chain gang. Charlie Johnson and Charlie Wil liams were brought to the city to day by Sheriff Williamson to be kept until the penitentiary guard arrives. In their presentments occurs the fol lowing: “In as much as Hon. W. G. Brant ley is a candidate for solicitor gen eral of our circuit, we, his neighbors and fellow citizens, by a unanimous vote of this body of grand jurors, warmly indorse his worth ns a man, and his ability as a lawyer, and earnestly request our immediate rep resentative and senator in the next legislature to use all honorable means to accomplish his election.” District Elector J. A. Brannen de livered an able address yesterday at tho noon recess of tho court. The city of Buffalo has 50 miles of asphalted streets. The cost of keeping them m repair during, the past five years has been, seventy-five dollars. The Atlanta Constitution truthful ly gays tbo man who loafs around with his hands in bis pockets, prom ising his support to this and that candidate, should think of his fami ly.

A weekly newspaper will soon be published at Cordeie, on the Ameri cas, Preston and Lumpki road. | fe - ; n'~ <Aes’' The Chairman of the Cemetery Committee should visit that spot and see its needs. Ifour dead could rise, they would do something desperate to the persons that neglect them thus. Besides the grass, weeds, etc., we could eafl attention to the fact that the patent arrangement for shutting the gate on the western side (possibly the others) is a fraud of the flrat water.
