B. Crocker to the local lodge of Elks. but it is understood the deed will be delivered as soon as the signature of Mrs. Amy Gillig, daughter of Mrs. Crocker, now in New York, is attached to the instrument. The re nce of Mrs. Crocker at Third and O streets has long heen_re- garded as one of the handsomest in in the city. It sets well back from the street upon a high terrace, and the surroundings are most beautiful. On the same block and connected with it by a covered bridge is the Crocker Art Gallery, presented some vears ago by Mrs. Crocker to the city, and which has been the scene of many brilliant entertainments. It is probable that eventually the property will be established as a home under the control of the national organization of Elks, but the needs of the local lodge will, of course, be first considered. This will have been the third manifestation of munificence on the part of Mrs. Crocker in this city, the gift of the art gallery and the Old Ladies’ Home being among her henefactions.

L ONE CASE OF TELLOW FEVER AT PHOBBIS Believed to Have Been Car- ried by Soldiers From the Hampton Home. STRICT OUARANTINE Three New Cases and One Death | the Day’s Record at Hampton. Troops to Be Moved. | iyt | Special Dispatch to The Call. | WASHINGTON, Aug. L — Surgeon | General Wyman is much encouraged | to-night by'the reports from the Hamp- | ton Soldters’ Home and surrounding places. There is no evidence whatever that yellow fever has spread beyond the original peint of infection, and each | day that passes without some evidence | | of its presence being discovered at | some other point makes it more certain } \ | that it was not carried out of the neigh- borhood of the home before the present impassable sanitary cordon was estab- lished. Reports received from Surgeon White, in charge of the Marine Hospital ‘ service at Hampton and surrounding | places, indicate that there have been | three new cases and one death to-day, | bringing the total number of cases up to forty and the number of deaths up | | to eight. | Surgeon White says there is little | doubt of the infection of the village of | Phoebus. He s there is one case there which is under observation and | is probably yvellow fever. Surgeon General Wyman had expected to learn that the disease had gotten into Phoebus., It is a little village imme- diately adjoining the Soldiers’ Home grounds. There are numerous saloons and other places of resort in the village hat were much frequented by the old | | soldiers all the time the fever was de- | | veloping in the home. For this reason | | Dr. Wyman says it cannot be said that | | the disease has spread to Phoebus, for | | it is there. It was established before | its first discovery inside the home, and | Phoebus is really a part of the same | | center of infection as the home itself. | Reports have been received from the | | Marine Hospital surgeons at Norfolk, | | Portsmouth, Newport News and Old | Point Comfort, showing that no one has | been found at either of these places | who had been exposed to the infection. | This still further encourages the hope that the ‘disease will be kept witnin the limits of the home and Phoebus. Dr. Woodward, health officer of| ‘Washington, has discovered two old| | soldiers in this city who were at the | | Hampton Home during the time when | the disease was developed. They have | been subjected to a careful examina- | tion and are apparently free from any symptoms of fever, but in order to minimize danger, they have been iso- | lated in the detention camp which was | established last winter for the deten- tion of persons who had been exposed to_smallpox. The War Department and the Marine Hospital service are co-operating to | get the artillery troops at Fort Mon- roe away from that neighborhood with | | the least possible delay. Quartermas- | ter McCaulley at Philadelphia has| made all arrangements for the trans- | !]\(vl‘l'dtinn of troops to Battery Point, | Delaware. A special train is to be run down to Cape Charles City, across in a steamer. Dr. Pettus, the Marine Hospital sur- geon in charge of the military reserva- tion, will carefully inspect all men be- fore they leave the fort, and any that | are suspected of being infected will be | detained. The entire command will be kept under close observation by medi- cal officers while in transit to Battery Point, and upon their arrival there they will be isolated from all other soldiers | at that post and will be carefully ob- served until the expiration of eleven days, which is considered the extreme period of incubation for yellow fever. Dr. Wyman does not believe there is | any possibility of the soldiers carrying the disease with them and spreading it | in the neighborhood of Battery Point, | for they will be so carefully watched by the medical officers of the army that if the fever should break out among them it would not get outside of the command. NEWPORT NEWS, Aug. 1.—It is not considered that there is any danger of the disease spreading to this place, al- thiugh all suspicious cases will be closely watched. People are going and | coming here as usual and there is very | little excitement. HANOVER ARRAIGNED ON PERJURY CHARGE| In Default of Bail the Round Va]le’y Witness Remains in Prison.
