CONOR ESSIONAL.
The Senate, on Monday, resumed the
consideration of the fisheries treaty in
open executive session, and was addressed
by Mr. Call in support of its ratification.
...Mr. Davidson, of Florida, intro
duced a joint resolution in the House ap
propriating $200,000 to aid iu suppress

f States. Referred. The floor was then
accorded to the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia. After some time spent
[upon measures local to the District of
Columbia, the Senate bill was passed
increasing to S3O a month the rate of
pension for total deafness. Mr. Warner,
of Missouri, asked unanimous consent
for the immediate consideration of the
dependent pension bill, but Mr. Walker,
of Missouri, objected. The House then
went into committee of the whole on the
fortification appropriation bill. No time
'was consumed in general debate, and
the committee immediately proceeded to
the consideration of the bill by sections.

The River and Harbor bill became a
law ou Saturday without the President’s
signature. No memorandum made, but the
President stated that while the bill con
tained items to which he could not sign
his approval, the great bulk of work pro
vided for is so important to the best in
terests of the country, that he was unwil
ling to obstruct it by his veto.
During the present hot spell Mrs.
Cleveland does not go to Washington of
ten, but prefers to remain at Oak View
and enjoy the cool breezes that blow from
the river. It is a familiar sight to see
the President seated in his victoria alone,
with the faithful Hawkins on the box,
guiding the “seal browns,” down on
Woodley Lane, over Meridian Hill and
into the* White House grounds. It is also
observed that the President usually has
with him a little brown lunch basket,
which probably contains a tempting
noonday snack prepared by the dainty
fingers of his wife.
The grave in which Gen. Sheridan’s
body lies in Arlington is a few rods dis
tant from the Lee mansion, the front and
south of it, and just beyond the brow of
a grassy slope that pitches somewhat
steeply. It is a rare picture of forest and
city, of river, grave und garden diversi
fied, glorified with such a panorama of
stately public architecture as no other
spot "on the continent commands. A
mile of level separates the bluff from
the river which stretches in a broad, gray
belt across the landscape. Back of the
grave, and upon the most commanding
spot on the Virginia side, stands the old
Lee mansion, now the office and head
quarters of the National cemetery. _ Na
other grave than that of Sheridan is in
front of the mansion.
Fishes Mounting Skyward,
A peculiar phenomenon has occurred
at Lake Clietek, Wis. It was a water
spout iu Chetek Lake. The column of
water was from twelve to fifteen feet in
diameter. The water could be plainly
seen ascending in a spiral column to a
heavy mass of clouds about fitty rods
above the lake. With the aid of a glass
small fish could be seen winding their
way upward. After a little over a
quarter of an hour the column broke m
two in the middle, and th lower half
swept across Menoinonie 1 oint in the
form of a whirlwind, taking up all the
lighter matter in its course, while the
upper portion seemed to follow in the
same course, having th- exact appear
ance of an inverted funnel forty to fifty
rods long. After breaking it was fol
lowed by a great rain, with some
thunder and lightning. — St. l'aul Globe,
“GRIM JACK”
OF YELLOW TINGE, INVADES
FLORIDA, CAUSING A PANIC.
PEOPLE STAMPEDE FROM JACKSONVILLE —
MACON,GA., INVITES THE REFUGEES AND
THEN QUARANTINES AGAINST THEM.
Surgeon General Hamilton, Dr. Sim
mons, of Charleston, Mayor Lester, of
u\annah, and Capt. R. G. Fleming, to
other with a number of health officers
uid railroad officials, met in conference
t \\ aycross, Ga., on Sunday, to discuss
the situation iu reference to the present!
scourge at Jacksonville, and to devise
ways and means for succoring the people
amt otherwise aiding them. It was de
e ! that it was mecessary to speedily
i» et" the city of Jacksonville that the
Tse i.so might be more quickly stamped
(, ut. In order to do this a place of refuge
was necessary. It was decided that a
camp of refugees be established, and that
Boulogne, on the line of the Savanuah,
Florida & Western Railroad, thirty-six
miles from Jacksonville,in Nassau county,
be selected. To this end Surgeon-Gen
i ral Hamilton will have government tents
shipped immediately to the ground, and
the camp ground will be inaugurated at
once. No sick person will be retained,
but sent back to the city.
The mails will be fumigated at Way
cros«, Dupont and Chattahoochee, as
well as Gainesville. The transfer of
passengers and baggage takes place at
the 99 mile post, three miles south of
Waycross. AH passengers not properly
certificated are placed in the rough cars,
and not allowed to leave the coaches at
the station, The strictest patrol is kept
up by the inspectors from Brunswick,
Savannah and Thomasville. The trains
are passing there crowded and it is pit
eous to see the wo-bc-gone expressions of
the faces of women and the wonder
ing gaze of the children flying to escape
the terrors that a"re pictured behind
them; caring nothing for baggage or
worldly belongings—going—going any
where only to be going. As the trains
with locked doors slow up at the depot
the heads are poked out at the windows
as if in mute appeal, only to be directed
to a place of safety. There is no fear at
Way cross.
Being asked if he would express an
opinion on the probability of the yellow
fever sweeping Jacksonville, Dr. Hamil
ton replied indirectly, saying, however,
that he would advise everybody to leave
the city. “Just now the disease appears
to be of a mild type,” he continued.
“Until we have further data it is unsafe
to express a positive opinion one way or
another. All who can possibly leave
should do so. Fugitives not only save
their own lives in nine cases out of ten,
but save the lives of others by robbing
the pestilence of so much material which
it would feed upon. No disease is so
susceptible by quarantine than yellow
fever. In 1876 when Savannah had it so
bad, Charleston, which is but little more
than one hundred miles off, kept it out
effectually by a strict quarantine. There
is no reason why any of Jacksonville’s
neighbors should contract the fever if
they keep the refugees out. It did not
originate in Jacksonville this Summer,
but was imported. Plant City was not
free from fever at any time during the
past Winter.” Quarantine Officers Webb
and B iuglm were at work on ail the north
bound trains on the East Tennessee, Vir
ginia and Georgia and Central railway
trains coming into Macon, Ga., Officci
Baughn being stationed at Fort Valley
and Webb at Chauncy. As each train
arrives, they board it and come on tc'
Macon, en route finding out all parties
from the infected districts and informs
them they will not be allowed to stop, but
continue on their journey. Most of them
go on through. One or two have raised
a protest, but when they learned that
they were liable to be arrested if they
stopped, they continued on their way.
The officers accompany each train some
distance beyond the city to see that no
one jumps off and comes back.
A special to Jacksonville, received
Sunday, reports three new cases and one
death as the day’s record in that city one
suspicious case has developed at Pablo
Beach, where Capt. Tuttle, of the Louis
ville and Nashville Railroad, died. Three
suspicious cases have developed at St.
Augustine, and a stampede from that
city has begun.
The quarantine lines below Brunswick
and all poiuts in Florida is now fully
established and thoroughly guarded at
all points. Inspectors are stationed at
Jesup, Way cross, St. Mary’s, Owens Ferry
and Burnt Fort, while the steamer Mis
chief, is patroling the mouth of
the harbor, off Jekyl river.
The Brusnwick Ga. board of
health has taken every precaution neces
sary to establish perfect confidence and
a feeling of security in the city. All is
quiet now, and there is no longer a feel
ing of uneasiness as to the continued
(mod health of Brunswick.
O '
An authority on yellow fever in At
lanta on being questioned about the ad
visability of permitting refugees from
Florida to enter Atlanta said: “I think
it gives a change for the spread of the
disease and Ido not believe it is good
policy to take any chances with such a
dreadful disease as yellow fever. Take
the experience of Huntsville, Ala., and
other towns along the Memphis &
Charleston Railroad, in the epidemic of
1878. Huntsville is every bit • s health
fully situated as Atlanta. A resort for
delicate persons and young children from
all parts of the South; in a high rolling
country, with good water and air. The
idea of yellow fever coming there was
ridiculed and treated as a hobby of a few
meJical cranks. The local physicians
and others said yellow fever germs
DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESOURCES OF DADE COUNT if.
TRENTON. GA., FRIDAY. AUGUST 17. 1888.
couldn’t live there. Yellow fever did
gain a foothold there, and a large part
of the population died from the disease.
The governor of Georgia should establish
a strict quarantine along the Florida
border, and every person coming from
Florida should be detained in quarantine
eight or ten days, if necessary, before be
ing allowed to proceed, or until all dan
ger from contagion bad passed. If some,
such action is not taken the people of
Atlanta at least should not allow them
selves to remain inactive, but should
take stringent measures to preveut this
disease from gaining a foothold in th«
city.”
While numbers of cities in tbe state
are quarantined against Jacksonville and
other points in Florida, Gainesville, Ga.,
the paradise of the health and pleasure
seeker, opens wide her gates and invites
the unfortunate citizens to come . and
partake of her sparkling water, cool and
refreshing breezes and wholesome diet.
The atmosphere is too pure there for any
epidemic to take up its abode, and the
city extends a cordial welcome to all
those who are fleeing from the awful
scourge.
Chattanooga on Sunday established a
quarantine against Jacksonville and all
yellow fever infected points. A carload
of Jacksonville refugees who were en
route to Coat ai.ooga a, ere met at Gi -
depot by the mayor and board of health,
Rnd were not permitted to remain over.
They went North. A penalty of SI,OOO
fine or imprisonment twelve mouths on
the chaingang, will be imposed on any
conductor who allows a sleeping car from
a yellow fever infected district to stop
within the city limits of Macon, Ga.
The Citizens’ Auxilliary association to
Duval county board of health was in ses-*
siou in Jacksonville on Monday all the,
morning, various matters being under
discussion. The police force has been
increased, and six mounted police now
patrol the streets night and day. No
case of yellow fever has yet occurred
among the negro population. Business
is completely paralyzed, and colored men
out of work gather in knots in the streets,
and it is feared will soon begin to plun
der and pillage the hundreds of unoccu
pied houses in the city. Lime, sulphur
and tar have been ordered iu large quan
tities, and several hundred fires
will be kindled in every block, in order
to kill the fever germs if possible. At
night the concussion theory of killing
germs was given particular test and
Wilson’s battery, with five pieces of ar-_
tillery, began firing continuously from
seven o’clock for several hours ou Mon
day. Nearly every hotel, boarding
house and restaurant in the city has been
closed. Hundreds of stores are clo'sed
and the proprietors have fled. All oth
ers close at sp. ip. and open at 9 a. m.
in order to avoid, contact with the night
air. Many dining clubs are forming in
private houses wholly, All mails are
fumigated by order of the postoffice de
partment. The Western Union telegraph
office is seriously embarrassed, as only
about one third of its operatives remain.
The situation at 7 p. m. on Monday was
as follows: Ouly two new cases of yel
low fever are reported in the city as oc
curring in the past twenty-four hours —
B. F. Dillon, superintendent of the
Western Union Telegraph company, and
Mr. Sheppard, residing on Church street.
Dr. Mitchell, president of the board of
health, does not think Mr. Gelder died
of yellow fever. No other deaths are
reported. Deaths 1; recovered 1; under
treatment, 19; whole number of cases so
far, 25; total deaths, 4. Provisions
it is feared, will be short. Vegetables
are becoming scarce, as there seems to be
no way to bring them in. Undoubtedly
omong the poor there will be great suffer
ing it assistance is not rendered. Im
mense fires were kept up in all parts of
the city, coal tar being freely burned.
Over 1,000 Floridians have located in

AN EARTHQUAKE.
The Steamer City of Sidney, which ar
rived at San Francisco from Hong Kong
and Yokohama, brings through the Ja
panese journals the particulars of
the volcanic eruption of Bandai bank on
the 15th of July. The details of the
catastrophe came in a somewhat de
spoiled form. The Ghoya Skimbkn dis
patched a special reporter to the scene.
According to his account the villages
surrounding Bandii heard the strange
rumbling sounds and felt the shocks of
the earthquake from 13th. These pheno
mena continued intermittently for two
days and night's, but not being attended
by any serious result no great disquiet
was felt. Ou the morning of the 15th,
at about 8 o’clock, smaller Bandai San
trembled and roared violently. Imme
diately afterwards ashes began to fall,
the sky suddenly grew dark and the
rumbling sounds continued, accompanie t
by violent earthquakes and Hare of daz
zling flame. The crest, of the smaller
Bandai San appeared to be lifted bodily
upwards and then to fall again with a
tremendous noise. Then followed show
ers of red mud, mingled with large
stones, spreading havoc around. Such,
Indeed, was the nature of nearly all
erupted; and mud with no small stones,
but accompanied occasionally by heavy
rocks. Nearly 500 were killed.

Two men had made ready a very
heavy blast in the face of the high bluff
at the mouth of Smith’s forks, near Lan
caster. It was composed of quite a num
ber of holes about twenty feet deep, and
with nine or ten kegs of powder to the
hole. Everything had been made ready
to touch the" blast with electricity by
means of a wire connected with the bat
tery. A cloud came up in the meantime,
and as it was lightning, the men con
cluded to wait until the cloud pns c ed
over. A flash of lightning, however,
came running along the wire from the
battery exploding the blasts with a tre
mendous noise. The whole side of the
bluff was blown off and it tumbled with
a tremendous crash down below. At
the time the blast occurred, two laboring
men were seen coming along down
under the bluff. They were vigilantly
searched for after the explosion, but no
trace of them could be found.
H. C. Bate, the United States signal

following report as to general conditions
in his weekly weather crop bulletin:
Since the last report there has been but
little change in the percentage of condi

worse. In some places good local rains
liave revived the lowering conditions:
this is true of the central portion of the
eastern division, and in most of tho
middle division, while in the western di
vision there is beginning to be felt a se
rious want of rain to check the rapidly
falling percentages of conditions ol the
late corn and cotton crops. In Smith
countv the tobacco crop is reported
looking well. Fodder is rapidly drying
up, and tbe yield will be greatly less

tion being reported from one hundred to
a hundred and ten. Corn is reported at
79 for the state against 99 last year; the
average of rice for the state is 85 against
97 last year. The area in rice is about
the same as last year. Labor is satis

CONVENT BURNED.
It was about ten minutes past eight
on Monday night when Mother Superior
Jones, vicar of the eastern provinces, saw
smoke in the upper part of the convent
of the Sacred Heart on 132 d street, New
York. Mother McDuffy had charge of
fifty children who were all in the chapel
praying at the time, and the feast of the
Assumption is on Wednesday, and the
altar was all decorated. Mother Duffy
got the children together and took them
through the porch to St. Joseph’s shrine
iu the rear of the building and away from
danger. The women might have extin
guished the flames, it is thought, as the
tire worked along slowly at first, but
they sent out an alarm for the firemen,
who promptly responded. The laborers
employed about the place started to
work with a small hose. The difficulty
was a scarcity of water. When the fire
men arrived they first could find no wa»
ter except what was in a little reservoir
in front of the house. Beside the build
ing was on a hill and the engines had to
be pulled up the hill with ropes. The
hose of three engines were finally put
together and water drawn from St.
Nicholas and Tenth avenues, a distance
of 2,000 feet, to hydrants, but they were
unable to save the building.
A DEADLY ENEMY-
While Gen. Boulanger was out driving
in an open carriage at St. Dean Dangely
on Sunday, Prof. Perrin, of the Lycee,
fired five shots at him from a revolver.
M. Ratapar, a friend of the general,
rushed forward and managed to turn the
weapon aside. The result was that Rat
apan himself received a bullet in the
back of the head, but the wound is not
serious. Two peasants were also wound
ed. Gen. Boulanger was not touched.
Prof. Perrin is a friend of .Mayor Lair,
