|E FEVER JUMPS
■ UP TO LOUISVILLE.
U There is Little Danger That
■ it Will Spread
There.
9 DEATHS AT NEW ORLEANS.

H er Causes Doubt—The
■ Situation.
■ jNew Orleans, Sept. 23. —The temper-
Btjure this morning is lower than any
Hy this week, and last night was ex
■emely cool. However scientists may
9ffer as to the effect of low tempera-
Bre on the spread of yellow fever, the
Biange here has had the effect of in-
Beasing public confidence and
Strengthening faith in the opinion of
Hr. Touatre that there is absolutely no
■anger here of an epidemic.
I Requests are being made to the
Hoard of health to close the theatres.
I Two deaths and one new case were
Reported today. The total number of
Bases up to the present writing has
Been 70. There have been 10 deaths.
AT EDWARDS.
I Edwards, Miss., Sept. 23. —There are
9 new cases of yellow fever since 8 p.
m. last night.
ANOTHER AT LOUISVILLE.
Louisville, Kj., Sept. 23. —A second
case of yellow fever is announced here
today, John McDougall, who came
here from Mobile on September 9.
The first case was Frank Derumsey,
who died at the infirmary in this city
on August 16. He came from Ocean
Springs, Miss. Hr. White said the
frost in the last few days would pre
vent any spread of the disease.
CARTER SATISFIED.
He Seems to Be Getting the Best of the
Investigation.
Savannah, Sept. 23.—Last night the
case against Captain Carter before
the board of investigation was closed
and Captain Carter’s side was taken
up. His witnesses were called and to
day are being examined.
From what is gathered on the out
side Captain Carter’s friends are very
well satisfied with the course of the
investigation. They do not seem to
be seriously disturbed. Oae gentle
men said today that from what he
could hear the fight on Captain Carter
would be brought to a standstill.
Tour of Inspection
Savannah, Sept. 23—C01. J. J. Rog
ers, Col. H. C. Hosbrouck, Capt, C. I*.
Miller and Lieut. C. P. Townsley of
the United States army, composing an
examining board of government en
gineers who are out inspecting the
fortifications at the southern ports,
arrived from Washington this morn
ing and are qnartered at the De Soto.
They came to Sayannah to inspect the
government works down at Tybeeto
ascertain if it would be advisable to
establish a garrison there.
Gold Coming.
New York, Sept. 23.—The Hanover
National bank will import one million
dollars in gold by the French line
steamship sailing from Havre Satur
day. This makes a total gold impor
tation thus far announced of two and
a half million, the National oity bank
having arranged to import a million
from London and half a million from
Genoa.
Condemn the Sheriff.
Washington, Sept. 23—At today’s
session of the American Federation of
Labor the following resolution was
adopted: “Resolved, That we declare
the act of Sheriff Martin and his dep
uties at Latimer, in shooting on
marching miners then on strike, was
a brutal and unprovoked massacre.”
SHIPPERS IMPORT
MANY LABORERS.
Sixty Men, Protected by Armed
Guards, to Load the
Albion.
MANY MORE TO ARRIVE TODAY.
To Be Fed From a Commissary—Straohan
and Raymond Make Statements—Re
gardless of Strikers.
The backbone of the strike was al
most broken yesterday when imported
laborers, in large numbers, began the
task of loading the Johnston liner
AlbioD: and when the Mallory liner
Rio Grande proceeded to be discharged
as speedily, it seemed as if there was
no such thing as a striking laborer.
The Johnston line men arrived early
and went to work at once loading
phosphate. They are negroes from
the interior, andwoik with a will.
No one is allawed on the Southern
railway wharves, where the Albion is
being loaded, except those who have
business. There is little danger of
interference with the new men. The
Mallory liner Rio Grande came up to
her wharf from quarantine, showing
few signs of her storm experience.
There were enough men to hand to
begin discharging her cargo at once.
Nine-tenths ot them were white.
The crew of the steamship was also
pressed into service, and went to
work. The Southern railway’s colored
gang, which did not strike, was on
hand.
The strike of the lumber men re
mained in statu quo. There were no
further propositions from the strikers,
and they say there will be none. The
lumber stevedores appear to be done
with the strikers, and will give em
ployment to any new men that may
come.
There are evidences of weakening
on the part of the strikers. They
have been idle long enough to feel the
effects of empty pockets and imminent
empty stomachs. The little aid that is
given by merchants does not go far.
Many of the women, cooks, washwo
men, etc, have also quit work, and the
deprivation is begining to be felt.
JOHNSTON GETS SIXTY.
Carried to Docks in Box Cars, Guarded By
Armed Men.
Agent F. D, M. Strachan, ot the
Johnston line, gave out the following
statement last night:
“YVe are now ready to meet the
strike in all its phases. We took sixty
men, brought from Port Royal and
other cities, to our wharves in box
cars at 6 o’clock this morning. They
were put to work loading the ship
with phosphate and unloading cotton
from cars. YVe will have more men
over the Southern railway tomorrow
morning.
“With the men ws took complete
commissary stores, including bedding.
The men will remain on the wharf.
“We have posted a guard of twelve
men, under ex-roliceman George
Richardson, at the wharves. They
are armed with Winchester repeating
shotguns, with buckshot cartridges.
The first attempt to interfere with our
imported men will be summarily dealt
with. We will carry on our business
regardless of the strike.”
Agent H. H. Raymond, of the Mal
lory line, said :
‘‘We are receiving and discharging
freight without delay. The Mallory
line will not be interfered with by the
strikers. We will have all the men
needed to handle our freight."
RETALIATION.
The Shippers Say They Will Supply All
Workers From a Commissary.
The part taken by several saloon
keepers and merchants in aiding and
abetting the strikers may have very
serious results so far as the general
trade of Brunswick is concerned.
Messrs. Strachan and Raymond,
after a conference last night, gave out
the statement to the press that they
contemplated establishing a big com
missary, where their employes could
secure all their rations at actual cost.
They are greatly offended at the as
sistance offered the strikers by a few
merchants, and say they are making
arrangements to retaliate.
Needs Repairing.
The boulevard extension to cypress
mills is in a very condition. The cul
vert just east of the Aiken Canning
company’s plant was blown out by the
storm, leaving a gap ten feet wide by
five deep. Lumber was hauled there
yesterday and it will be rebuilt today.
The road between Aiken’s and the cy
press mills was reported almost im
passable yesterday.
For Corporal.
An examination for corporal of the
Brunswick Riflemen will be held to
night at the armory, conducted by the
commissioned officers. A number of
privates will take the examination.
INSURGENTS SURRENDER.
Reported That a Foroe Gave Up in. Santa
. Clara.
Havana, Sept. 23. —It is officially an
nounced today that two insurgent offi
cers and twenty-one armed insurgent
cavalrymen, who belonged to the in
surgent forces under Trellez, surren
dered yesterday to the Spanish author
ities at Yaguaramas, province of Santa
Clara.

previous night by three of his follow
ers.
Senator Cantor Weds.
Chicago, Sept. 23.—The wedding of
State Senator Cantor, of New York,
and Miss Lydia Merriam Greenbaum
was celebrated at high noon today at
the residence of the bride’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. David A. Greenbaum,

Prsminent Man Dead.
•
Augusta, Sept. 23 .—Augusta was
shocked this morning to learn of the
sudden death of Colonel I. Clarence
Levy, who passed away at his home at
2 :30 a. m. He had been ill for only a
few days, suffering with acute indi
gestion, and on yesterday seemed so
much improved that he was expected
to be out in a few days .
Troops Victorious.
Managua, Nicaragua (via Galveston,
Tex.), Sept. 23. —General Paiz, com
mander of the revolutionary forces, is
reported to have been wounded in the
leg during a battle yesterday near
Rivas with the government troops,
wbioh is said to have resulted in a
complete victory for the latter.
Evarts Improving.
New York, Sept. 23.—At the resi
dence of Wm. M. Evans it was said
this morning that the ex-senator’s
condition was about the same as for
some time past, and that bs was stead
ily improving. The chances of his
ultimate recovery of health are very
favorable.
A Valdosta Fire.
Valdosta, Sept. 23.—A fire occurred
at this place last night, completely de
stroying the store building and stock
of Mr. O. O. YVorley and partially de
stroying the brick store building of
Mr. Sims, adjoining YVorley’s.
Brewery Burned.
La Crosse, YVis., Sept. 23.—The plant
of the John Gund Brewing company

A FAMOUS CRIME
ENDS IN BANGING.
Sylvanus Johnson, Who Caused
Several Riots, Hung at
Key West.
SANE “NEARER MY SOD TO THEE,”
His Crime Caused Key West to Suffer a Se
ries of Horrors—Mad Work
of the Mobs.
Key YVest, Sept. 23.—Sylvanus John
son was executed at 11:52. He strug
gled for three minutes violently, and
again after ten minutes had elapsed.
Twenty minutes after the drop foil he
was still alive. The drop was eight
feet nine inches. The rope slipped
from the ear to the chin, and he died
of strangulation.
He was led from the jail to the scaf
fold by two deputy sheriff's, singing
“Nearer My God to Thee.” In bis
short address he blessed and forgave
all the officials, his friends and his
enemies and concluded : “Oh, Father
I will be in thy kingdom soon.”
Johnson’6 erime and its immediate
results caused comment all aver the
world. The negro assaulted Mrs. At
well in the woods near this city. Dur
ing bis trial a man named Pendleton
called on the white men to lynch him.
This resulted in several riots. The
negroes tried to lynch Pendleton. The
military refused to turn out. The
negro mob captured the armories, and
after several days of dreadful scenes of
strife quiet was restored.

PASSAIC OURS.
Roosevelt Writes a Letter to Congressman
Brantley Saying So Positively.
Congressman YY’illiam G. Brantley
has received a very clever and charac
teristic letter from Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the
navy, in which that gentleman point
edly declares that the Georgia naval
militia incident is finally “closed.”
Mr. Roosevelt, in this letter, also
makes the first and only positive state
ment he has yet made, regarding the
disposition of the monitor Passaic.
The following extracts from the as
sistant secretary’s letter convey its
meaning: “I am perfectly willing to
accept your statement as to the spirit
and purpose of the Brunswick militia.
“I will leave them the Passaic.
“If possible, this winter, l will get
down to Brunswick and try to stir
them up and make them do as well
next year as the Georgia sharpshoot
ers did this year in the New Jersey
contest.”
This amiable letter from Mr. Roose
velt is the last of a long and exten
sive correspondence which has been
oarried on between himself and Con
gressman Brantley since the YVilming
ton officers gave out their unjust
criticisms of the Brunswick reserves.
Mr. Brantley frankly expressed his
opinion of the manner in which the
reserves had been treated, and the sec
retary made a further investigation
finally resulting in his assurance
quoted above.
The positive statement of Mr. Roose
velt that the Passaic will remain here
settles the controversy once and for
all. His suggestion that be might
visit Brunswick this winter caused
Mr. Brantley to write him a cordial
invitation.
This settles all the naval militia
muddle except the election of battal
ion officers, which will probably be
amicably adjusted in the course of a
few months.
