A Warning to Committeemen -To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: A man claiming first that he was' a painter and lived at Charlottesville, Hancoclc county, . ind secondly admitted New Castle as his home, waa in town, Monday, trying to pain access to Ihe RoDublican committeemen poll-books, saying that he was sent out by Chairman Huston. He gave his name as E. W. Conway, Milliken and Dunlan. He was neatly cornered, and, wheo asked to telegraph Chairman Huston in regard to his identity, squirmed and twisted like a boa eoustricter at bay. He was a miserable specimen of a painter, and showed by ins ignorane that the case in which he is endeavoring to ferret is a last and hopeless find. When he picks up the Republicans of Fortville he is ceitinjr a cigaatic piece of machinery on his bands, one in which he will find each cog in its place and no play in the bo lines.

THE FEVER-STRICKEN SOUTH

fto Marked Change at Jacksonville, but It Is Thought the Worst Is Passed. Eaihraya Still Sadly Demoralized.bat There Are Indications that tha ranic wm &ooa Subside, and Order Be Restored. Jacksonville, Fla,, Sept 23. The situation here to-nleht Is practically unchanged, except that the hopeful feeling that the worst of tbe epldemio is over continues. While the new cases are developing very rapidly, the type of the disease appears to be milder eren than before the equinoctial storms; and while many people are very sick, the death rate continues low. Tha official bulletin for the twenty-four hours ending at 6 P.M. reports 146 new east, of which 83 are among the colored people. Only four deaths are reported: Ij. Baran, a prominent citizen and member of the city board of public works; Mrs. Hall, colored; Otto Frip and Miss Florence Stowe. Total cases to date, 2,314; total deaths, 22L At Camp Mitchell thirty-five houses are ready for occupancy, but there will hardly be accom modations for any great number of refugees in time to assist to any considerable extent in the effort to depopulate the city. All plans for depopulating thus far have failed, owing to the laek of practical methods for putting them into execution. Barrs Block, in which is located the bureau of medical aid and nurses, presents a busy scene. Uniforms for the corps and saddlehorses, inscead of cabs, for the physicians, are all that is required to glrs it the appearance of military headquarters. A special from McClenny reports eight new cases of yellow fever and one death tbat of Jonathan Taw. Ample supplies for the present were yesterday sent to McClenny by the sanitary associations. The fever has never been epidemio on the south side of tbe river, thonch several cases originating in the city have devel oped on that side There nave been no cases yet at Pablo, Burnside Beach or May port. There bare been about a dozen ceatbs in t ernandma during the past two weeks. Stephen Assessior, civil engineer, died Sept. 1G. On Friday, the 22d, the Nassau county hoard ot health denounced the reports of yellow ierer in Fernandina as untrue, Dr. Palmer not agreeing to the statement, but being out-voted six to one, and tho Mayor and other prominent o facials and citizens indorsiug the denial. It wss only yesterday, when it became known tbat the town would be inspected by a marine hospital surgeon, that the presence of yellow fever was acknowledged. Tbe fact of tbe fever outbreak was eoneealed by the officisls for a month, it being an open secret in Fernandina. and many left the placo. The aetion of tbe Nassau connty board is considered an loexemable on trace on points in tha State, sueh as Gainesville, that have been in communication with that town, and is in striking contrast with the publication of the first suspicions case that came to Jacksonville. Modifying Quarantine Kegulattons. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 25. The local Board of Health met in session to-night and declined to modify their resolution placing all trains on the west side of the rivsr under strict non-intercourse quarantine regulations, and therefore the tame law will apply to them as now governs those on the east side of the nver. Dr. Thornton, of the Board of Health, said he had a suspicious sick man on the outskirts of the city. His attention to the c&so had been called by Drs. II L. Willford and H. IL Harding, who were suspicious of their patient The facts surrounding his illoss wero as follows: At 4 o'clock this afternoon Drs. Willford and Harding had teen called to attend Beary IL Binford, a resident of Memphis, bnt who travels for a MJinemnati coffee and spice housA. Binford bad a chill) this afternoon, at 3 o clock, which was followed by a hirh fever. His symptoms were such they felt it their duty to acquaint Dr. Thornton with their ausoicions. Ir. Thornton, in company with Dr. K. W. Mitchell, visited Binford at 7 o'elock to-nieht. Neither would express an opinion as to bis illness, and ia making his report to the Board of Health Dr. Thornton said he was only keeping faitb with the people of Memphis and the outside world, which ho had pledged to make public any ease to which had been attached tha least soipicion. Tha mere fact that Bintord hvl a chill, followed by a ferer, was not suspicions, but the surroundings mvle him feel that it was his duty to report it as sueh. lie bad gained tbe following information concerning tbe recent travels of Binford: He had been in Decatur, Ala., on the 3d ot September, aeeordinr to a letter writteu to his wife on that date, and had told Dr. Thornton that he was aleo in Decatur on the 14th. He was In Conrtland, Ala., on the 17tb, and went to Huntsville. He bad also been in Atlsnta, Gs., where he was quarantined five days and returned to Memphis on the 19th inst. Dr. Thornton wanted it impressed on the minds of the' board that he was reporting this only as a suspicions esse. No physician in the world could say that it was a case of yellow fever. In the morning he wonld diacnose the case, and then could state mors positively his opinion. It was proven by several who were well acquainted with Binford tbat he had been on a spree for the past four days, and tbat he was of a dissipated character. There is no doubt of tbis, as his brother, who has just been interviewed by tbe Associated Press reporter, acknowledged that he was a heavy drinker. The board ordered Binford removed at once to the yellow fever ward cf the city hospital. He is attended by a trained nurse. The Demoralized Hallway Service. Washington, Sept, 25. The PostofSce Department this afternoon received a telegram from Atlanta, Ga, stating that no trains are running between Memphis and New Orleans, except aeeommodstion trains. None between New Orleans and Wilson, La., nor none between Greenwood and Jackson; Jackson and Natchez; Meridian and Shreveport: Meridian and New Orleans; Cairo and Mobile; Aberdeen and Durant; Selma and Meridian; Chattanooga and Meridian, except a short train between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. Another says: "No new eases of yellow fever, or deaths have occurred at Jackson to-day, but this fact does not seem to abate the exeitement in the least. There are no trains running between Selma and Meridian, and Montgomery and Akron. A fumigating station has been established at Decatur. No station can be placed now at Jackson, as the neigh boring towns threaten, if mail or anything else, f utnigated or not, is taken in for Jackson, they will tear up the traek and burn tbe bridges. Arraneements have been made to establish a station at Jackson as soon as the excitement subsides. There are slight evidences of reaction. Business men begin to feel the pressure, and are commencing to resist the mob element." Chicago, Sept. 25. The quarantine restrictions, on account of tbe yellow fever in the South compelled the Illinois Centrtl company, to-dsy, to issue a notice to shippers setting forth that the road cannot receive or forward f reieht for Grand Junction, Tonn., Jackson, Miss., stations on the Aberdeen and Yazoo branches, or for any points on or reached by tbe following lines: The Memphis & Charleston, the Vicksburg & Meridian, the Natchez. Jackson & Columbus, the New Orleans & Northeastern, and the Alabama & Great Sonthern. Hay and grain will not be received for Green line points via any route. Tbe company will continue, however, to receive and forward freight for Vicks burg via Fulton and Memphis. Two Deaths at Decatur. Decatur, Sept. 25. The deserted streets, the closed business houses, the empty houses and the general melancholy appearance of everything shows the 'real condition of things. Two deaths have been reported since last night J. H. Weailey and his son, L. S. Weakley. They were from Brownsville, Tenn., and had been in Decatur only a short time. Two sew cases were reported to-day. Notwithstanding the unfavorable showing this morning the doctors still think the worst is over. Tbe supply of provisions and money Ir about exhausted, and is coming in very slowly. The relief committee are still calling for aid. No trains, cither passenger or freight, are allowed to stop, and com muoicatlon can bs had only by telegraph. The Refagees at Louisville. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 27. The situation of yellow fever refugees here to-day shows little difference, Benjamin Grant, from Decatur, has a mild type of the disease and is being cared for at the Eruptive Hospital. Many are leaving for Northern points as fast as their baggage is fumigated and turned over to thea. A fond ia btins

raised for those in need, and a concert will be given for their benefit The following proclamation was Issued tonight in response to the call of the Illinois Central upon Governor Bockaer for relief: Whereas, It has come to the knewledge of this board that local authorities in various towns and counties in tbis State have established quarantines without the consent of this hoard necessary to make suh quarantine regulations legal or effeetire; and. Whereas, This board has placed an inspection quarantine service along the entire sonthern border cf the State wh;eh will furnish adequate protection against any dancer from infection from yellow fever, it any possible danger exists at this late season of the year; Now, therefore, be It known, that by the virtus of the authority vested in us by law in tho supervision of local boards of health and of the quarantine regulations of tbe State, all sueh local quarantines are I ereby revoked and raised, except that of Hickman, which is not on the line of a inspected road. By order of the Hoard. PincknsyThompsok, M. P., President. J. M. McCORiLVCK, M. D., Secretary. Where the Fever Helens Supreme. St. Jaqo de Cuba, SepL 12. Yellow fever reigns supreme, both in this city and athe military hospital outside. A servant oFthe American consulate has jest boen sont to the hospital with it. La Autonimia, ;of tbis oity, yesterday published the following item: "Of ninety-six men of the battalion of San Quentin on duly in Santo Espiritu, twenty-three have fallen victims to yellow fever, seventeen more have been attacked with it, and three of them are dangerously ilL Of a detachment of nine men on duty at Parates, all were attacked, and seven died of the fever. The mortality has been terrible. E1 Pais, of that city, one day reported twenty-fonr deaths from it. Both natives and foreigners have been swept away. The epidemic has been sweeping the island. he terrific inroads made by yellow fever may be gathered from tbe following: "Oat of a full company of men. all bnt eierht have been swept

away in this city, lno island of .Nasi a a. knowing the daneer, has declared a forty-day quarantine against us." Evansvllle Offers a Refuge, gpecijj to tbe lodlanawuis Joarnaa. Evansvills, Ind., Sept. 25. At the session of the business men's association of Evansville, to-night, resolutions were adopted throwing open this city to the yellow fever refugees, Inviting them :o come here and remain until the denser of the scourge has passed. The sum of $500 was also appropriated for tbe benefit of yellow fever sufferers. This is the first city north of the Ohio river that has taken such action. Knights of rythlas Called on for Aid.

The conference will meet next year at Marion, I ft Aueust The proper committee made a report on the state cf the country whieh was adopted with a vim. Among other things this report says: We aro now in the midst of a beted political campaign in which we cannot ia any wise be miscarried. As the majority Jf our people belong to that class known as the laboring class, and as the issue in this campaign is that of high vs. low tariff, or protection to Am trie an industry and American labor vs. distruetion to American industry and poverty for the American labor or. we insist upon it that our ministers study closely the situation that they may in time advise the peop'.e in those things which will tend to their own prosperity as well as to the happiness anl security of the whole Nation. That we are not ia the enjoyment of the fullest and freest rights of American e:tizenship is a fact to be deplored. In many localities, especially at tic South, we are hampered, proscribed and in many eaes ostracized and brutally outrH?d. and so long; an this is true we feel called upon as ministers, freemen and citizens to enter a solemn protest. Therefore be it Kesolved, Tbst it is the et-nse of this conference that no political party should lay any claim whatever to the suffrage f colored voters, so long as tueu of that party by wor.l and deed declare themselves to bo opposoJ to our civil and political advancement. lie it farther Kesolved. That as in the past, so also in the pre;, ect, we believe that the best interests of the rsce and the Nation will be subserved by our unswerving allegiance to the principles and pledges of th Iiepublican party, and to this end we stand committed.

I.ogenport Butcher Charged with Obtain. ing Goods In a Fraudulent Manner. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Looansport, Sept. 25. William Wagoner, a young buteher of this city, ws arrested to-day on charge of obtaining goods in a fraudulent manner. Several days ago he purchased three cattle of a farmer named Levi McKaig, saying that he was a partder of Charles Stoll, a cattle buyer in good standing. He drove tha cattle to t own and sold them for $51, which was $39 less than he agreed to pay McKaig. Waeoner is a reckless fellow and has been in much trouble of late. Excitement Among Saloon-Kecpers. Special to the IndlanapoLs Journal. Grsexsburo, Sept 25. There was some excitement among the saloon-keepers here to-day, caused by the arrest of one of their number upon a grand jury indictment charging the sale of liquor without license. The question of law involved may become very important to those concerned. The circumstances leading to these indictments are these: Last winter licenses were granted by the County Commissioners over the remonstrance of a number of citizens, who then appealed to tbe Circuit Court There is a statute that provides tbat such license shall be valid 'until the close of the next term of tbe court in which sueh appeal is tending, and at which such cause mient De lawruiiy tried." For some reason the cases were not tried at the last April term, and tbe grand jury has acted upon the theory that sales made by such persons since the close of that term are unlawful; hence these indictments. Safe-Blowers Frightened from Their Work. 6cc;al to tbe lndianaeolis Journal. Brazil, Sept 25. At midnight, last nieht, while citizens of Bowling Green were retnrning from a political meeting at Patrieksburg, three safe-blowers, who had effected entrance into J. M.

They were pursued, but reached the river bottom about a imle distant, where they are supposed to be in hiding. Officers are in search. They bad bored into the safe in the store and were in tbe act ot touching off tbe powder. There is no bank in town and tns a afo contained considerable money. The Delby Case. The Journal is informed, on excellent authority, tbat the statement which appeared ic its columns yesterday, concerning the death of Mrs. Dal by, at Fairmount, was grossly erroneous in its reflection upon the husband of the deceased. Mr. Dalby is described by our informant as a kind and provident husband, who, since his absence from home, has frequently sent money to bis family, me dead woman is said to have been a sufferer from neuralgia, and her friends believe she eame to her death by inadvertently taking an overdose or morphine, which she was in tbe habit of uslne to assuage ber pain.

A Queer Document to Ite Written "in ih Senate In the Midst of a Debate." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. We printed yesterday, from "The Congressional Record," a short speech made by Mr. Vest, in explanation of a letter written by him. in which the foliowinc language occurred: Mr. . Cleveland, by Lis rresace, fur which I incctcij oonor cim, nas onaiiencea lue provectea ir.autries of the country to a ;lit of extermination. .. The fght is to the dtatn. Mr. Vest, interrogated by Mr. Sherman, admitted the genuineness cf the above as an extract but protested tbat it was a portion of a private letter not intended for publication. He eaid: There is a club in St. .Lonis whieh, fortonaMv or unfortunately, bears my namo the 'Yest Damcrat: Club." Some time s ;n? e I wrote to an intimate friend, Mr. Charles M. Napton, who happened to be secretary of that club, not specially on any political matter, but in reeard to some matter of business about whieh be wrote me, in which letter he asked me generally about the campaign, as the constituents of Senators generally do. I wrote bim a letier it was written hurriedly, without Bar idea that it would ever be niblished, or that it would ever be subj-eted to any - ublic criticism but I wrote it as one conOdential friend would write to another. As a matter of course I can say f ratltly that I am net an idiot, and that the Democratic rarty would not, in tho teth of its platform and of tne public and private expressions of all its members, attack the industries of this country. Further along Mr. Vest said the letter waa written "bere in the Senate, in the midst of a debate." It was, eh? How. then, does it happen to be in type-writing, with careful pen snd ink emendations and signature? We have seen the document as received by Mr. Napton. There are just four lines of "private matter in it. and two of these are occupied with an acknowledgment cf Mr. Napton's letter to him (Vest). Mr. Vest then goes on and occupies a page and a half of type-writing in saymg: I sir.eerely hope that your club may be made permanent, ana th&t iti meTubershio may b$ lr.rjrMy increased. While there is no possibility tbat Xissouri will fail to give ber electoral vote for Clovehiud an! Thurman. it is important, both for eamp5cn purposes and as an educational instrnmi ntality, that tho organization be continued. We are entering npon a most fearful presidential contest, the most important since that of 1SOO. Mr. Cleveland by his mettace, for which I sincerely honor him. has challenged the protected industries of the country to a fiffht of extermination. The men who are accumulating; Immense fortunes under the tariff laws are determined to defeat Cleve'.and if money and industry will accomplish it. It is tha personal duty of every Democrat in this country to do eeryth:n in his power to sustain the President. Every agency which can be used in this direction must be put actively to work. It is useless for us to disguise the fact that the Cent Is to the death, and we would be idiots to icnore this. Very respectfully, O. G. Vest. It will be observed that in his speech in tbe Senate Mr. Vest says, in effect that be is not an idiot, and therefore not a free-trader, while in his letter to Mr. Napton he ears, in effect, that Democrats who try to ignore or disgu'se the free-trade issue are idiots. Mr. Vesta powerful mind seems to run largely to idiots. Democratic Chivalry to a Woman. New York Trees. ''Is that a Demoeratio gcnP asked Anna Dickinson of her audience at Indianapolis oa Saturday evening, as her chivclrous foes out side tried to drown her voice by firing cannon in tbe court-house yard across the street 'Yes," was the reply. "Well," said she of the silver tongue that talked the fetters off the slave, "all the coisa of hell cannot suppress the truth." Do you hear tbat, Mr. Cleveland! Do you hear that Mr. Mills) Does Mr. Bayard bear that above the rattle of the keys as he locks up Consul Hotchkiss's suppressed report against free lumber in the Stats Department vaults! Democratic guns tried to silence ths truth about enslaved labor when Anna Dickinson, the girl orator, told it in 1SCL But truth prevailed and the slave became free. Anna Dickinson, whose engagement for tbe campaign was suggested to the National Republican Committee by Tbe Press, is again telling the truth with a force, a directness and a fascination that makes the Demoeratio gucs seem to tremble and shiver as tbey roar.
