YELLOW JACK SHIT OUT.
THR CITY’S GATES CLOSED
AGAINST TAMPA AND PALATKA.
An Inspector to bo Stationed at Way
cross To-day No Restriction of Jack
sonville and Gainesville Travel—How
Savannah is Protected.
To-day an inspector will be on hand at
VTavcross to examine all suspicious persons
ghd carry into effect against
Tampa and Palatka. The health author
ities do not consider this an absolute neces
sity. but still they do not propose to give
yellow fever the slightest opportunity to
get in here. The quarantine at Jackson
ville and Gainesville is rigid. It is impossi
ble for any one from Tampa to enter the
one, or from Gainesville to get into the
other, without the knowledge and
consent of the health officers at
those points Those who are admitted
are held fifteen days before they are permit
ted to leave. The whole section is thor
oughly protected, the county lines being
guarded by a cordon of armed men. The
only possible way in which persons from the
infected districts could get m here would lie
by going around those places and getting
on the trains at points north of Jacksonville
and GainAsville, but now such persons, if
there should be any, will be stopped at
Way cross.
INSPECTED AT WAYCROSS.
General Manager Haines, of the Savan
nah, Florida and Western Railway, has
been requested by the Sanitary Board to
instruct his conductors to render all the
assistance in their power to the Waycross
inspector by pouting out all persons who
board the train at points north of Jack
sonville and Gainesville who are not known
to be residents of the place at, which they
got on, thus while Jacksonville and Gaines
ville form an impregnable barrier against
the advance of yellow fever along the
avenues by which it travels, the Waycross
inspector will effectually prevent the 'possi
bility of its apnroach by any other route.
The mails are thoroughly fumigated be
fore they get into either Jacksonville or
Gainesville. They are subjected to the fumes
of burning sulphur for twelve hours before
they are sent on, and the authorities all
agree that twelve hours are more than suffi
cient to kill the germs, if there should lie
any in them. Thus in every possible way
Savannah is protected against the encroach
ment of the disease, with strict quaran
tine regulations at both Jacksonville and
Gainesvile, 170 miles away, the health au
thorities say that there is no possibility of
its reaching here. The season is too far ad
vanced, ana the weather is too cool to per
mit of its spreading outside of the narrow
limits to which it is confined.
LOCKED CARS TO GO THROUGH.
Thp following resolution was adopted by
the Jacksonville Board of Health on rYiday:
ReeoUvd, That all passengers from South
Florida be allowed to come to the railroad junc
tion, west of Jacksonville only in locked cars,
and pass on through to Georgia or elsewhere,
provided the President of this Board receives
assurance of a strict quarantine satisfactory to
him. and that said cars lie allowed to pass on
north or west if it does not cause a quarantine
against this city.
4n consequence of this a telegram was
vent by TV Neal Mitchell, President of the
Jacksonville Board of Health to the Sani
tary Board of Savannah, asking that the
President of the State Board of Health of
Georgia be requested to inform the authori
ties of Jacksonville whether refugees from
Tampa and. citizens of Palatka would be
permitted to remain in any part of Georgia,
and if so, under what conditions, if any ?
ISO STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Dr, Mitchell was informed that there is
no State Board of Healtli in Georgia, but
that each locality provided its own regula
tions, and that persons having passed the
quarantine at Jacksonville and having been
released by the health authorities of that
city, and residents of Jacksonville who had
not been in the infected district
will, of course, be permitted to
come to Savannah without restriction,
there being no more danger in receiving
them than in receiving persons from the
North. Dr. Mitchell’s inquiry also referred
to the locked cars spoken of in the resolu
tion, and he was wired that if the health
authorities of Jacksonville considered it safe
for these cars to pass Jacksonville, there
would be no objection to their passing Sa -
vannah, provided they come no nearer the
city than the Charleston and Savannah
junction. The health officers of Savannah,
Jacksonville and Gainesville are in daily
telegraphic communication, and are iyjl
kept thoroughly informed on exact condi
tion of affairs at each place.
HARD UP FOR A HAT.
A Negro Grab Thief Tries His Game on
a Congress Street Salesman.
Philip Henry, an athletic young negro,
tried the grab game in Falk & Sons’ cloth
ing house last night, and will be called
upon in Police Court to-inorrow to explain
how it worked. Henry was looking at a
suit of clothes, which be pretended he was
going to buy. When the salesman turned
Ins hack for a moment the negro pulled a
hat, and made a dash forthedoor. The sales
man didn’t tike his way of doing business,
and seized hold of his customer tearing off
halt' his coat. Reaching the door Henry ran up
Whitaker street, and just as he was turning
into Congress street lane he was surrounded
bv a crowd and captured. Twisting out of
his captor's hold he left his vest and shirt
and started down the lane. As he turned
into Barnard street he jumped into Police
man Sullivan's open arms, and in fifteen
minutes was in the barracks.

Area Mercury at 54 Degrees.
The high tmrometor area which has l>een
moving down from the Northwest for sev
eral days was central in this section yester
day. moving out to sea, and that was the
cause of the low temperature. The range of

FOR THE HEBREW ORPHANS
Hon. Bimon Wolff’s Address at the
Mickva Israel Synagogue.
Hon. Simon Wolff, of Washington. D. C.,
and J. I. Macks, Esq., of Wilmington, N.
have been in the city for some days past
soliciting subscriptions for the Hebrew
Orphan Asylum, which is to be built in At
lanta. Mr. Wolff delivered an address at
the Mickva Israel synagogue yesterday, in
which he thanked t■ Hebrews of this city
for their liberality. Messrs. Wolff and Macks
and Mr. E. A. Weil, .it this city, all of whom
are members of the Board of Control, will
leave to-night for Atlanta to attend the lay
ing of the cornor-stoutt, and also to close the
contracts for the erection of the building.
Mr. Wolff was at one time Consul to Tur
key. He is now a prominent member of
the Washington liar, and is a fluent and
fervid speaker. He is also chairman of the
Board of Control of the asylum fund of the
Fifth district, B'nai B’rith, and he devoted
a part of his remarks yesterday to an ac
count of this charity. He briefly outlined
the nature and object of the Hebrew order,
B’nai B’rith, which was first instituted in
New York fifty years ago by educated Jews
for the purpose of instructing immigrant
Jews from foreign countries in the princi
ples and spirit of a free government in or
der that thev might become good and useful
citizens of the United States. In fifty years
the order has become widespread, and is
now shedding its light and lieuovolence
among all the nations of the earth. As
an instance of the benevolence of the
order he cited the fact that it had estab
fished, and was supjiorting, several large
orphan asylums, where the destitute chil
dren of Hebrew parentage were being cared
for and educated. Four or five of these in
stitutions are now iiipractical o|ieration in
the United States. There is none, however,
in District No. .1, com|>osed of the District
of Columbia and the States of Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia. Some time ago it hail been
determined to establish such an asylum in
this district. A fund was started for the
purpose. It has now reached the sum of
*48,000.
AFRAID OF WET COTTON.
The Crews of the Naples and Resolute
Protest Against a Wet Cargo.
The Morning News of Sunday last pub
lished a ship agent's statement to the effect
that the ship Tranquebar, which sailed
from here in 1871 with a cargo of wet
cotton, lost half her crew from sickness on
the voyage and the other half died soon
after leaving Liverpool. The statement of
this agent has caused the crews of the Reso
lute and Naples to protent against going to
sea with the cargoes of cotton damaged in
those vessels, it being the desire of the
present holders of these cargoes to send
them forward. On account of the protests
entered by the sailors the matter was in
vestigated, and it was found that
Mr. T. B. Marshall was the
agent for the Tratiquebar which
sailed from this |Hirt in 1871 with a cargo of
wet cotton Mr. Marshall looked the
matter up and lound that the consignee in
Liverpool was Loss Skoldfleld, and a cable
was sent him inquiring into the truth of the
shiii agents statement. The reply was as
follows:
Liverpool, Oet. 15,1887,
Contain Steamer Rtnolutg, Savannah:
Tranquebar. Savannah to Liverpool in 1871,
delivered cargo without illness to crew.
Ross Skoi.dfieui.
From this it appears that the crows need
have no apprehensions about wet cotton
cargoes.
A HANDSOME VESSEL.
The Steamer Bayley One of the Finest
Vessels Ever at This Port.
The British steamship Bayley is without
doubt the finest as well as one of the hand
somest vessels of her kind that has ever
visited this port. She was fitted up for the
China trade and has passenger accommoda
tions. She has a very handsome saloon
finished in polished Hungarian ash, and
the officers’ quarters are largo and commo
dious. She is built of steel, with steel decks
covered with a sheathing of wood, and is
double-docked. Her bow is similar to that
of a sailing ship. Her steering gear is of
the latest improvement. She has a
direct acting windlass. She is fitted
with three boilers, and her engines
are triple expansion of 2,000-horse
power, cajiable of driving her at an aver
age speed of thirteen knots lier hour. Her
length over all is JO.') feet, breadth 40 feet
and dept h of hold 37 feet. Her gross ton -
nage is 2,608 tons, and her net or carrying
tonnage 1.606. She is complete in every
particular, and (.’apt. Child may well be
proud of his vessel. She was built at New
castle, Eng., by Swan A Hunter, and is
owned by Benham A Barton, of London,
her hailing port. She is well worth a visit
of inspection.

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.

i The New Hampshire I legislature has in-
I definitely postponed action upon a law eom
j (Killing all railroails within the State to
! make a passenger rate of 2c. per mile.
The South Carolina railway ticket office
at Summerville was broken into Friday
morning about 1 o'clock and the petty cash
m the money drawer, amounting to about
810 stolen.
The Cleveland AVcus (alls the attention of
all interested in improved railroad appli
ances to an Ohio minister who recently
married three couples in a railroad train.
It regards him as the most successful car
coupler yet invented.
At the last meeting of the National Asso
ciation of General Passenger and Ticket
Agents it Was voted that district rate-sheets
be hereafter published quarterly, instead of
monthly, as is the present custom. It Ls
understood that this will be put into effect
Jan. 1, 1888.
Owing to the pressure for coaches to ac
commodate persons attending the Piedmont
Exposition at Atlanta, the Charleston and
Savannah railway will not run the usual
Sunday excursion from Charleston to-dav.
The excursions will, however, be resumed
the next Sunday.
There are no now developments in the
Covington and Macon railroad matter. The
counter proposition made by the attorneys
for the creditors to the company has been
forwarded to the officers in New York, but
it is quite certain from what can be learned
that it will not be accepted.
The General Time Convention of the
United States and Canada has just closed a
very important session in New York. The
Committee on Train Rules aud Telegraphic
Orders submitted its final report, which
was adopted. These rules will soon be made
effective on the principal roads in North
America, as they are now in effect on the L.
and N. and other important lines. Some
radical changes of schedules were arranged,
which wifi shorten the time between the
North and South.
The big railroads North and West are
having a freight car famine. The Pennsyl
vania^Railroad Company for some time has
been unable to meet the constant demand
for cars made by shippers. It is stated that
the present shortage on the Pan-Handle sys
tem is about 1,000 cars per day, aud on the
Fort Wayne system about >4OO a day. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company last year
Irnilt 11,000 freight cars, and yet this enor
mous addition does not meet the present
need. Of course sticli a demand for cars is
only temporary, and to attempt to till it by
building more cars would be to increase the
enormous number that will have to fie idle
when the fall rush is over. Much of the
trouble from shortage of cars is due to un
reasonable detention by shippers and con
necting lines.
THE WEEK’S AMUSEMENTS.
Thomas Keene’s Three Nights’ Engage
ment ait the Theatre.
Thomas W. Keene will be the week’s at
traction at the theatre. He will play n
three nights’ and matinee engagement,
opening Thursday night with “Hamlet.”
On Friday night he will appear in
“Richelieu,” at Saturday's matinee in
“Merchant of Venice,” closing on Saturday
night with “Richard III.,” his greatest
play. That Keene is a favorite with Sa
vannah theatre-goers is evidenced by the
large audiences which he always nlays to.
His return here after an enforced alwence
of nearly two yeai-s will be a pleasure to
the amusement public. The reserved seat
sale will begin to-morrow morning. The
next attraction following Keene is the Mac
Collin Opera Company on Oct. 26, 27, 2b
and 29.
Andres Alpine Choir.
Andres Alpine Choir, under the auspices
of the Young Men’s Christian Association,
at Odd Fellows Hall will be a counter at
traction to Keene on Thursday evening.
Its entertainment will be unique to those
who liave never seen or heard the Ty-rolese
yodelers and warblers. Herr Andres’ choir
created a good deal of stir in this country
when it first appeared here. The major
part of the company are, with one exception,
natives of Tyrol, in Switzerland. They
dress in the picturesque costumes of the
Swiss peasantry, and present upon the stage
a quaint, but romantic appearance.
The Amateur Orchestra Concert.
The Amateur Orchestra will give its
initial concert and entertainment at Yonge’s
Hall, Whitaker and Duffy streets, on
Friday evening. The of-chestra is under the
directorship of Mr. August I .age, and com-
Sised of young men. It was organized last
arch as a quintette and during the sum
mer played for a number of amateur enter
tainments. It has now eleven instruments—
four violins, bass viol, violincello, trombone,
cornet, two flutes and piano, and is thor
oughly organized under an experienced
director. * Tickets for the entertainment, are
on sale at Ludden A- Bates’, A. M. & C. W.
West’s, St. .1. R. Yonge’s, and may be had
from memliors of the orchestra.

the residents of the town: “I am 73 years

Coming Home to Die.
At a period of life when budding woman
hood requires all her strength to meet the
demands nature makes upon it, many a
young woman returns home from the se
vere mental strain of school with a broken
down constitution, and her functions disar
ranged. to go to an early grave. If she had
been wisely counseled and given the benefit
of Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription” her
bodily development might have kept pace
with her mental grow-th, and health and
beauty would not have given way to de
cline and death.

The New Public Building and the
Oglethorpe Barracks Property.
Savannah. Oct. 15. — Editor Morning
News: Now that the location of our new
public building api>ears to have been de
cided ti|>o!i. would it not be w ell for the
United States government to get the whole
of the barracks property, instead of confin
ing itself to the part purchased. 120 feet on
Liberty street by 220 feet on Bull, which
may necessitate putting the building on, or
near to. the line of Bull street, instead of
setting it well back from that line, which
would be very desirable.
The gentlemen controlling the property
are public spirited, and would, no doubt, if
asked by the Secretary of the Treasury,
give the refusal of the balance of the prop
erty at the difference between the price
asked lor the whole and that agreed upon
for the part purchased, until the next Con
gress has time to consider the advisability
of making an additional appropriation for
that purpose. Our Representative in Con
gress would be in better condition to urge
an increased appropriation with such a re
fusal of the property on file than he would
be if the price was an open question, which
might lead to a suspension of a job to re
lieve the treasury of a part of its surplus.

The Day’s Happenings in the South
Carolina Metropolis.
The City of Atlanta, which used to ply
between Charleston and New York, has
been chartered by the Alexandria Steam
ship Line of New York to run between that
place and Mexican ports in place of the
steamship City of Puebla, which has been
sold to the Pacific Steamship Company.
The Fourth Brigade will not parade dur
ing gala week The chairman of the Execu

Gen. Huguenin, commanding the brigade,
saying: “I regret to say that, from mili
tary and other reasons deemed sufficient by
me, the brigade will not be able to parade
on that occasion.”
The usually safe and quiet city of Charles
ton has been disturbed during the past
month by about a dozen burglaries, for the
most part accompanied by chloroforming.
In no instance, says the News and Courier ,
has an arrest been made, and the phrase
“there is no clew,” has become stereotyped.
The mere statement of the case, it adds, con
demns our police as inefficient. Whether
that inefficiency is owing to the incapacity
of tlie officers, the lack of courage, watch
fulness, intelligence or physical strength on
the part of the men, or an insufficient num
ber of men to do the work required, wc are
not prepared to say; but the fact remains
that a force that neither prevents burgla
ries nor captures the burglars, fail in ac
complishing one of the most important ob
jects for which a police force is established,
and is therefore clearly inefficient.
