In the note to her heart-chosen sweet
heart she gave him her ring and request

The secretary of the state board of
health, has received additional and im
portant information concerning the
alarming epidemic of black measles,
which is prevailing among the negroes
on the plantations along the Santee river,
in Georgetown! county. On the planta
tion of Mr. Hazard, where over thirty
negroes died from the disease, and
it is said to be spreading so rapidly that
an entire cessation of work on the grow
ing crops is feaied. The crops consist
mostly of rice which is now in the milk
and requires careful watching.
There is promise of a war among the
rice mills at Charleston. The battle was
begun by the Chisolm mill, which an
nounced a reduction of tolls for milling
to 6 cents per bushel. Up to 1886 the
price was 12 cents a bushel, 6 cents for
barreling and J cent for weighing, a to
tal of 18.1-2 cents. In 1886 therk w r as
a reduction to 8 cents for milling and 5
cents for barreling, a total of 18 cents.
The charges for weighing have been
abolished. The present reduction by
the Chisolm makes the rates 6 cents for
milling and 5 cents for barreling, a total
of 11 cents. There are five mills in
Charleston, all of which do an active
bus’aess.
A SMALL WAR.
A Trinidad, Col., special says: What
may prove a long and bloody struggle
opened to-day on the Maxwell Grant at
Stonewall, forty miles west of Trinidad.
The sheriff ’s posse sent to keen the peace
was met by armed settlers in numbers
estimated at from 200 to 500 men. The
settlers demanded the arms of the posse,
which demand was refused. The posse
took up quarters in the Pooler hotel, a
large frame building. The settlers en
deavored to force an entrance when the
posse opened fire. R. R. Russell, one oi
the oldest settlers, fell dead, and two or
three others were wounded, and the
building was soon riddled with bullets.i
The sheriff is gathering men in numbers)
to go to the relief of the besieged posse.!
It is believed that the building will bd
burned and a dozen besieged deputies!
put to death. The settlers come from!
tributaries of the Pugative River, Ver-j
mejo, New Mexico, and also from thej
Costillo grant in those mountain fas-|
nesses. It seems useless to oppose themj
with either militia or regular troops.j
Public sentiment in Trinidad is entirely
with the settlers. The settler cavalry
composed of both Americans and Mexi-i
cans. The Mexicans are painted as foif
war.
A BAD LOT.
A Chinese organization of so-called
anarchists, over 100 strong, has beer
formed in New York. The purpose of
this strange Mongolian organization it
ostensibly for “mutual protection, ’ but
its real object is to get possess on of tlie
Chinese municipality by foice. The
principal and most remunerative o.’ these
revenues is obtained from the forty or
more gambling dens that are now paying
the municipal treasury at the rate of $lO
per mon'h per den. This is divided by
two rival organizations—the Municipal
Council and the Lun Gee Tong Society —
e;’ch getting about S2OO per month regu
larly, But these Mongolian anirchists
propose now to obtain entire control of
all these revenues, and they began a few
days ago by invading, in a body, the
rooms of the Lun Gee Tong Society,
driving its members out with clubs and
nearly killing Goa Her, one of the prin
cipal members.
STOPPED,
Orders were given out on Monday to
contractors to stop work ou the Duluth,
South Shor and Atlantic extension to
West Superiors. That road ha- made an
agreement to u-e the Northern Pa ific
tracks. The immediate cause of this is
on account of President Cle eland’s re
taliatory message, as the South Shore
is entirely owned by the Canadian Pa
cifie.

GOVERNMENT RELTPF.
Information has just been received at
Jacksonville, Fla., from J. H. Stev. ns,
agent of the Savanna \ Florida & Western
Railway, that the United States Govern
ment has chartered a train from the road
and will run it daily from Jacksonville to
Boulogne, leaving Jacksonville at about
1:30 p. m., each day. Passage to the
camp will be provided by the government
free, the only requisite being certificates
from the board of health as to freedom
from disease. Passengers must, howev
er, satisfy the board that they intend go
ing there simply for quarantine purposes.
Alter a period of ten days, during which
the passenger is kept at the government's
expense, lie is discharged and may go on
to any part of the country at wiU.
YELLOW FEVER NOTES.
Governor Perry, of Florida, tele
graphed to Governor Goidon, of Georgia,
to ascertain if there was any truth in the
report of the proposed conference with
Governor Goidon, of Georgia, with a
view of putting ou a strict quarantine at
Waycross, and received a reply that he
had not heard of it. The fact is that
Waycross sent back several carloads ®f
passengers and baggage on Sunday, hav
ing ordered a strict quarantine o»
through traffic of every kind. This
hems Jacksonville in ou every hand.
Thu only way of egress is to go to Bou
logne quarantine camp, remain ten days,
an l upon the certificate of health be re
leased free to go where one chooses.
The Jacksonville board of health, re
scinded its order, ami will now publish
niiincs itnci rcssc* 3 of sirk Thfir©
is great satisfaction and relief at this
decision. The city lo >ks more desolate
than ever. Fully 15,000 people have left
it. The quarantine is complete, with'
scores of hospitable cities in Georgia,!
Alabama, Tennessee, and the Caroliuas
swinging their gates wide open; not a'
person in Jacksonville is permitted to set
foot upon an outgoiug car. Great ex
citement prevails, and there has Ueenj
some talk of tearing up the Savannah,
Florida and Western tracks, the argu
ment being that if that road refuses toj
take passengers out, the citizens may
very properly refuse to let cars come in.
Pre-ident Mitchell, of the Jacksonville
Board of Health, is in favor of giving
the widest publicity to all news, but it
seems that newspapers are not held in
much esteem by one or two others. If
these concealed cases are yellow fever,
then some one is criminally responsible.
If not, the public should know the exact
facts iu the matter, for concealment and
the loss of confidence would create a
panic that would be very pernicious in
its effects. It is suggested as an explan
ation of the act ion of the papers in sup
pressing the names of the victims, that,
as the aristocracy were catching it, they
did not like their names mingled with
canaille —Tom, Dick and Harry.
The Savannah, Florida & Western
Railway has reduced the number of its
trains in and out of Jacksonville to the
minimum. The train leaving Jackson
ville at 5 p. has been discontinued
till further notice. The train formerly
arriving in Jacksonville at Ba. in. has
also been discontinued. As soon as yel
low fever broke out in Jacksonville, Mr.
George W. Haines, superintendent of
the Brunswick & Western Railroad,
whose headquarters is iu Brunswick, set
out for that place to look after the em
ployes there. Two days ago he started
back but was stopped at Waycross by
Ihe quarantine inspectors. He appealed
to the Brunswick board of health by tel
egraph, but that body would not waive
any of the fifteen days at quarantine.
Mr. Haynes telegraphed to have the of
fice of the system that can be moved
temporarily transferred to Waycross.
The Spanish steamship Castelln, tiie first
of the cotton fleet known as ocean tramps,
arrived at quarantine at Charleston, 8.C.,
from Havana. At a meeting of the
board of health a resolution was adopted
prohibiting all vessels from feverin
fected points to come to that city until
after November, and that the Castella
should be quarantined for fourteen days.
Two passengers from Live Oak, near
Jacksonville, were captured iu Charlig
leston, having run the blockade. They
were at once sent over to the lazaretta,
where they will be kept fourteen days.
The board of health of Brunswick, Ga.,
refused to let the Mallory line steamships
run in their vessels there until
ufterthey have been quarantined twenty
days and fumigated three times is the
meantime.
IMPORTANT.
A very important discovery has been
made by which one of the greatest privi
leges now enjoyed by Canada will imme
diately cease, by order of the Secretary
of the Treasury, and that is the right ofc
Canada to ship her products in bond
through the territory of the United
States for export from the ports of the
United States. The statistics show that
of the $270,000,000 worth sent both
ways during the past six years at least
$100,000,000 worth was in Canadian
products exported via ports of the United
States.
DEMENTED MILLIONAIRE.
Robert Garrett, the railroad magnate,
has been placed in the Bloomingdale,
N. Y., lunatic asylum. It took six men
to control him before his confinement.
Mr. Garrett’s delusion is that he has Jay
Goul 1 conlined in a cell, “where,” to use
his own language, “I intend keeping
him until he rots.” Ilis perverted mind
makes him believe that while he was
asleep several of Gould’s minions, armed
with knives and revolvers, came to his
bedside aud threatened to kill him if he
did not release their chief.
THE CROPS.
f
Reports from Arkansas, Kent ucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina and South
Carolina indicate that the weather has
been favoiable to a i crops. High winds
aud heavy rains did considerable damage
to growing crops in Louisiana and Mis
sissipi. High winds also damaged corn
in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and New Jersey. But
the abending rains will improve the
crops.
A JOKE.
The French police have received in
structions to discover the authors of an
ingenious political trick, which consists
of defacing the coins of Napoleon 111,
and substituting the name of Boulanger
I, Empereur, with the date 1838.
