The young lady left the home of her pa
rents on Washington street and went to

formed that it was confined after six

the premises without calling. She was at
tacked by the dog and before she could

PLUMING FOR THE FIGHT.
A meeting of the State Democratic Ex

cy of the Legislature of Florida to meet
and provide tor the exigency under such
conditions. He knew of no better use to
make of a part of the public money than to
make this contribution to be expended un
der the direction of the President of the
United States.
Immediately Mr. Brown inquired why
the appropriation should be confined to
Florida, while the disease was spreading
in other States.
Air. Edmunds said it is not confined to
the State of Florida. It is to aid all suffer
ers wherever they may be, whether in
Georgia, North Carolina, the city of Wash
ington, or any where else.
After brief remarks by Senators Call
and Pasco, the joint resolution was passed.
Air. Vest, from the Committee on Com
merce, reported a bill to authorize the
construction of bridges across the Ken

Louisville Southern railroad. It was

would be done to the cause of the special

QUARANTINED AT ALBANY.
A Negro With Yellow Fever Guarded lu an
Isolated Wood.
Albany, Sept. 19.—It having been re
ported to the Mayor throDgh the city phy
sician that a negro from Jacksonville,who
had yellow fever, had been detained at
the quarantine station two miles from the
city, a citizens’ meeting was called, at
which it was determined that three of
our reliable physicians should be sent
over to make a careful diagnosis of the
erse and report at a subsequent meet
ing. At a meeting this afternoon
the three physicians reported that it was
properly quarantined, provided for, and
entirely isolated. Upon motion, a com
mittee was appointed to make an honest
report of the facts for publication so as to
avoid all unnecessary apprehensions and
alarm. The committee certified to the
above facts as stated, and add: This state
meat of facts is sent out to allay and cor
rect any incorrect reports that may be
circulated under the present excited state
of public ODinion with reference to yellow
fever. We nave no yellow fever in Albany,
but have a strict quarantine regulation, as
is shown by the prompt detection and de
tention of this case.

propagation of the disease.

Fever In New Orleans and Texas.
New Orleans, Sept. 19.— A Picayune’s
Austin, Texas, special, dated Septembes
18, 'says: Information sent out yesterday,
stating that the quarantine against New
Orleans had been raised, was false, and the
Governor says it will not be raised until he
is satisfied that no fever exists in New Or
leans. It was reported here last night and
the evening papers issued extras that four
cases of yellow fever had developed in
Galveston. The Governor telegraphed for
information, and the Assistant Health Offi
cer replied that no yellow fever existed
there. Governor Ross’ private secretary
has been sent to Galveston to investigate
the matter. Dr. Rutherford being ques
tioned as to the location of the cases in
New Orleans, said they were on the Ram
parts and on Tchoupitonlas streets, but he
had forgotten the numbers.
Quarantine Against Decatur Raised.
AIontgohery, Sept, 19.—To-moirow
Alontgomery’s quarantine against Decatur
will be raised. There has been but one
suspicious case of fever reported from that
place, which was ten days ago, and it is
felt that there is no danger of any trouble
there, and all restrictions, so far ps this
city is concerned, will be removed. As to

New Treaty for France and Buaaia.
London, Sept. 19.—A special from the
for Georgia are: Fair and slightly wanner i Chronicle’s Berlin correspondent, thi«
morning, says that France has wnhmit^
to the Czar, a draft of a treaty of alii*nr>e,
a few miles west of Hamilton Tuesday
afternoon. The two men, with a number
of other negroes, were engaged in raising
a house. A dispute arose and Nelson
slapped Marshal’s face. The latter stepped
back a few feet and picked up a chop
axe, which he hurled at Nelson
with true aim and great force. The keen
blade of the axe struck Nelson's neok, in
flicting a long and horrible cut.
Nelson was almost dead before the flow
ot blood could be checked. He was still
alive at last accounts, but the chances
were against his recovery. Marshal had
not been arrested yesterday morning. The
negroes in the community are taia to be
greatly wrought up over the affair.
