This morning "a. report was spread among the pupils at the Orange street buitding that oeT. cases of the disease had been discovered in the neighborhood, and a stampede occurred that lasted until the superintendent, principals and teachers circulated among the pupils and quieted the alarm. Several parents who heard of the wild rumors sent notes to the teachers re questing that their children be allowed to go home.

A STRUGGLE IN MID AIR GREEK PAINTER ON TELEPHONE POLE. Re Gives Two Linemen a IlacI is Minutes And A Crowd An Enter tainmentKnocked Senseless 93 Peel Front The Ground. Atlanta, Oct. 10. A drunken painter, named Tucker, gave a war dance on the narrow platform at the top of a tele phone pole 95 feet above the ground at Mitchell and Foray the streets yesterday afternoon. Tucker carried up a. flask of whiskey and a can of green paint. With the paint he colored himself green from belt to crown. Then he sang, yelled and danced, attracting a great crowd. He swung himself from the rim oft be platform to the horror of the crowd below. ' Two linemen were telephoned for. They climbed up. One got through the door when Tucker shut it and would not let the other up. He assaulted the line man on the platform and they bad a thrilling fight. Tucker tried to throw the lineman off, but the latter finally got in a blow with his nippers on Tucker's head, knocking him senseless. The other lineman then got up and Tucker was led down with a rope and taken to the police station. COAL ON THE FREE LIST. BOUGHT LOW, WILL SELL CHEAP. KEW FALL AMD WINTER Dress Goods.

The city Board of Health held a meet ing during the morning and the result of their deliberations is shown in the follow iuK letter: "Mr. J. D.Egglcslon, Superintendent ol Schools: "Dear Sir: At a meeting of the Board of Health today, I was instructed to ad vise you that there is no ground tor the alarm: which is now felt in regard to diph theria in the public schools. "Up to the present time and covering a period of two months past there have been within the city limits six cases of diphtheria, of which two terminated fa tally, two recovered, and two are now under treatment. These two last men tioned are of a mild character. "Under these circumstances the Board of Health recommends, and asks you to suggest to parents that they have their children to continue steadily in their attendance at school, which is a perfectly safe course to adopt. -"The buildings have been thoroughly examined under authority of the Board and are found to be in a thoroughly san itary condition. Should any cause for alarm hereafter occur, the public may rest, assttred that the Board will not conceal the fact, but will advise such measures as the circumstances make necessary. Very respectfully, "T. W. Patton, "Chairman of Board of Health " On receipt of the above communica tion Superintendent Hgcleston bad cop ies thereof made and sent to all the schools, where they were read belore all the children and the scare is doubtless ended.; FEDEDAI, INTERFERENCE. It President Cleveland wauls Made Impossible, Washington, Oct. 10. A Democratic caucus will be held tonight to ijiye the Democrats an opportunity to discuss the proposed modifications of the federal election bill and decide whether any amendments to the pending; bill shall be adopted. " All" Democrats agree that government authority to keep peace at the polls by the use of United States troops and all laws relating to the ap pointment oi federal supervisors and deputy marshals shall go. The onlv question is whether the declaratory statutes, which in reality bave no power behind them, and Cob Gates' suggestion as to the jurisdiction of United States judges in case of violations shall bave in Federal elections shall be retained. The prevailing opinion among the Dem ocrats win nave canvassed the situation is that the Tucker bill will be atrreed upon as it stands,- with a possible modi fication to meetthe objection of Col, Oates. President Cleveland is reported to havtt said to Mr. Tucker, the "author ity ui me dim, mat ne uopecl tnat every vest see ol the law pertaining to Federal interference would be wiped out; and this expression is expected to have its ef- ifect in the caucus. As to the talk of postponing a vote on tne bill until ac tion is had on the silver in the Senate, has died out and it will probably cut no figure at the caucus. OVER I9t tICDOWF.1.1.

A serious shooting affair occurred at Biltmore Saturday evening, the shooter and his victim being colored men em ployed about the anderbilt estate. Thejnan wbo did the shooting is W W. Duncan, generally known among his fellow workmen as "George Wash ington," and the man who was shot is Pink Cansler. The shooting took place in front of Lowrance'a store in Biltmore, and three bullets from Duncan's pistol struck Cansler. One ball entered the left forearm, another entered the arm above the elbow, passed halfway around the arm and out again and then lodged in Cansler's side. The third ball went into his rieht lee. Duncan made his escape alter the shooting and has so far been able to elude the officers. He isa South Caro lina negro. Deputy Sheriff J. H. Hampton, who talked with several witnesses of the shooting, says that, judging from the stories he beard, the shooting was done on little or no provocation. The condition of Cansler, the wounded man, is considered quite serious. V. Frost Crop . Isanaaffe- Three Cs Chanice. Marion, N. C, Oct. 0. The crisp Oc tober weather, "with here aud there the appearance of the "sere and yellow leaf,' reminds one of the near appearance of another winter, but Jack frost has not put in appearance in these Darts vet Various h.tve been the estimates of the late damage to crops from the rain and wind. On the parts washed over on low bottoms, the dam ace is over 50 per cent; on other parts of the Dottoms not near so much, and on the uplands still less: so that it is doubtful if the total average damage will reach as much as 15 per cent., except as to fodder, which will likclv be 25 rjer cent, The 3 C's railroad changing hands has put a new phase on things somewhat, out on account of the stringency in the money market it will not be completed to Johnson Citv.

SOO KEGS OP POWDER Tne Most nifflcalt Problem For tne TarlffTlnkers. Washington, Oct. 10. It was sup posed that after the statement of the Governor of Virginia before the commit tee, that perhaps Chairman Wilson might be inclined to oppose a change in the coal schedule. But it is estimated, at least, that coal is likely to go on the free list. It has been areued that the West Virginia coal fields are benefitted only where the water can be reached by rail and canal routes, and that is a small matter until the entire consump tion of coal is considered, while it is claimed that the benefits to be derived by free coal to the New Kngland manu facturers is an item of great importance. It has also been claimed that the interior coal fields cannot be materially affected by free coal. There has been considerable talk over the it on and steel schedules and there are intimations that this is the most difficult problem that has yet confronted the committee and which is still -far from settlement. Members of the committee have talked about a reduction on pie and scrap iron from $6.72 to $2.50 or $3.00 per ton with the view that there would be large revenue derived trom importations under such a reduction. As to the manufactured products of iron there is vet nothing that can be called au agreement. That there will be reduc tions is beyond doubt, but the fixing of tne duties is considered one of the most difficult matters before the committee. DIRECT trade. flaysor & smitD, 31 PATTON AVENUE.
