Fair Maiden Startled the Atlantic City Crowd. Atlantic City, N. J., July 31. When the history of the season is written and the annals of summer are told, let the name of a life guard be heralded there In letters of purest gold! Not for sav ing a life from the ocean, a task worse than this M had it was askiug a woman to leave the beach, because she was loudly clad! This life guard was Indeed a hero. He has plunged through the surf many times and fished half drowned people out . and thought nothing of it. But when, in obedienca, to the Mayor's re cent edict that a too conspicuously loud bathing costume would not be allowed on the beach, he felt- constrained to approach a feminine promenader this morning, bis knees smote together; he turned pale under the brown of his tan; and thia life saver, this man who has shown that he does not fear death, ac tually stammered. The Voman in the case made her appearance for the first time this season, too, at about 11 o'clock, when the beach was crowded. Her bath ing suit was deeolette at the top, even as a ball room gown, narrow straps passing over very white shoulders. She w blonde and she was plump, and her nether members were encased in black, opeiiwork lisle thread as far as half way to the hips, where the skirt began. And the skirt, it was transparent; and the crowd in the wake of this vision, it Was large; and the life guard, perforce, step ped up and said: "Excuse me, miss, but orders are that these Tort of suits don't go. Just please,' as a favor, you knowfc sort of Slide up to the bath house, and and, ehthat Is j just piece It out a little, won't your" - ' . ; ; ; "rah! Trashl" said the vision but she "slid." Then the crowd' got back to the surf, and enjoyed the fine weather and the warm bathing, while the life guard aat down and tanned himself. - ' FOB RBNT.

LEAVING NORFOLK Seaboard and Southern Rail way Trains Crowded DISEASE CAN'T EXIST HERE No Danger of Yellow Fever Coming to Raleigh Mr. Jofaa Brown Makes a Practical Suggestion for Refugees. The outbreak of yellow fever at Hamp ton did not cause the slightest scare in Raleigh and even should the disease break out in Norfolk there would be uo necessity for Raleigh establishing a quarantine against Norfolk. As Col. F. A. Olds said this morning: "ItalcigU is uot in the danger district, as yellow fever simply cannot exist here. This was proven years ago, when there were epi demics at Norfolk and Wilmington. Many scores of persons refuged here and there were uo deaths. This high rolling country offers no foothold for the fever." - If uo cases appeared here ill lKj'i when the epidemic swept Norfolk and Wil mington there is uo danger of the dis ease ever making its appearauie in this city. Parties who came in this morning and last evening from Norfolk and vicinity state that people are leaving by the thousands. 'Hie hotels and resorts at Virginia Beach and Ocean View are almost deserted. A gentleman said today, "The Sea lioard Air Line and Southern U.-iilway have about all the passenger traffic they can handle. The other roads are not running within two and a half miles of Norfolk and many persons bound for Washington, Baltimore and other points are coining as far south as Weldou in onler to take trains for their homes." Science has made such gigantic strides in restraining the disease and quarantine regulations have- been so perfected that that there is a geueral belief that the disease will be confined within the Sol diers' Home at Hampton and that it certainly will not spread to Norfolk aud Portsmouth. What the people who are leaving Norfolk now fear is no so much yellow fever as being quarantined there. Mr. John W. Browu takes a very philosophical view of the situation, as he does on nil other public questions. 1 He thus soliloquized to a reporter this uiorniug, "Well, I hear that everybody is leaving Ocean View aud Virginia Beach and those fellows running places there are about broke up. "This scare will ruin both resorts for the rest of this season and wiJJ hurt them for several years to come. How ever, the people are fortunate in that Mr. Ellis is ready to open bis hotel at Fuquay Springs aud all who leave Old Point Comfort, Virginia Bench aud Oceau View can now tiud a delightful resort at Fuquay. President Mills should put oil a special Saturday rate to carry down the crowds to spem Sundays." JOHN BROWN'S MEN. Their Bones Removed from Harpers Ferry to North Elba. Harper's Ferry, W. Va., July 31. Hie bodies of seven followers of John Browu were disinterred near this Jilace place on Saturday by Dr. Thomas R. Featherstouhaugh, of Washington, D. C, and Capt. E. P. Hall, employed in the Interior Department. The forgot ten graves were located by Dr. Feather stouhaugh three years ago. The seven bodies were buried in a lone ly spot near the banks of the Shenan doah river. Dr. Featherstonhaugh learn ed that Jefferson county paid .Tames Marshall, now a very old man, $10 for burying the bodies. Marshall assisted him in' locating the graves, oue of which was opened. The remains were sent to North Elba, N. Y., the old homestead of John Brown, where his body lies burled, and will be interred' in adjacent noil. The bones were shipped to North Elba in charge of a nephew of one of the men who participated in the raid and escaped w.th h life. The remains of the seven disinterred Saturday will be received in the Old Adirondack home with ceremonies. Rev. Joshua Young, who buried John Brown, has been asked to attend the - reinter ment. A monument will be erected giving the names of the men and the circumstances of the recovery of the, bodies. Miss Katharine ETMcClellan, of Sara nac Lake, N. Y., is In charge of the ar rangements at the North Elba end of the route and will get together a notable gathering of personages. President McKInley will be invited to take some active part In the ceremonies, t The bodies have' been buried In two lurge store boxes. There was nothing left in the boxes except the bones and some of the men's clothes. Oliver Brown was buried in a shaggy overcoat of bear skin cloth, which we found around the bones of one individual, and two short lead pencils dropped from the coat.,"' '.- -Two heads are better than one."

".' ' v The Atlanta Journal gives the fol lowing account of the crime: "On the 22d of December of 1897, Wesley J. Dorsey killed his node, Rus sell M. Dorsey. The iatter had for several years tried to collect a debt from Wesley Dorsey, who 'had resisted its collection by all the legal means known to the law, and was defeated, and while the litigation was in progress, he threat ened to kill his uncle on several occa sions, and also js attorney. In the meantime his boy of some 12 or J4 years of age, went to his uncle, Russell, and told him that his father had treat ed him so shamefully that he could uot stay longer at home and begged him, Russell, to allow him, the boy, to stay with him. This his nncle agreed to do. The boy was finally, on his own motion, Isuind to Russell M. Dorsey, or be be came his guardian. "The boy becoming dissatisfied return ed to his father and Russell Dorse went to see what had become of the boy. He found that he and his father had L'ft home together, the latter with a donble barrelled shotgun, well loaded, saying while he was loading the gon that he was loading the same to kill Russell Dorsey. "When they met at Mr. Cooley's store Russell asked the boy, who was In his father's wagon, why he left him? Rus sell then discovered the gun in the wag on and tried to get it before Wesley J. Dorsey did, but did not succeed. Wes ley, on getting possession of the gun, notwithstanding the entreaties of his son aud Russell, shot the later while he was crouching down behind the slayer's team. "Wesley J. Dorsey had only two or three days previous said he would kill Russell, and the result of his deliberate shot shows how well he kept his word. Dorsey will have a fair trial, and if he is not guilty a White county jury will say so, but if he is and the evidence establishes the fact, he will be promptly found guilty." B. AND O. AND SEABOARD. Revival of the Plan to Connect at Georgetown. Richmond, Va., July 31. A conference was held between Messrs. John Skelton Williams, president, and EX St. John, vice-president of the Seaboard Air Line, and Capt. Joseph Willard In Portsmouth. ItHs understood that it was in relation to the construction of the proposed line to connect that road with the Baltimore and Ohio, above Georgetown, D. C.This connecting ling will probably start from or near Quantico and pass through Fair fax Court House, following the route surveyed and adopted by the Baltimore and Ohio some years ago. This plan was decided upou some time ago and a part of the connecting link was built and the rest surveyed. The Baltimore and Ohio obtained the charter 01 the Washington and Cumberland road, which along the banks of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal gave them a line all the way through Geogetown to Rock Greek. The purchase of the canal by the rail road would facilitate the plan to have a frcigh depot iq Georgetown. It is said that heretofore there has been trouble lu getting a bill through Congress to permit the railroad to cross the Wash ington aqueduct, but If that difficulty did exist it probably does.. no longer.
