8 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. THE CITY’S MORTALITY. The Health Officer’s Record for the Past Week.

CYCLONE ON THE GULF. Savannah Under a High Barometer 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 ’lie thermometer was from 68* down to 54". There were sonic high winds at other |x>ints but not here. Titusville iFla.i reported a v-|or-ity of 82 miles an hour. Charleston old Cedar Keys reported 28 miles an hour. A telegram from AVasbington, recci ved at II o’clock last night, stated that n cyclone is forming south of Key West. Quarantined at Palatka.

Don’t know when I will get home.” The inspectors are needed here, but the office Rill have to get along without them until they are released from quarantine. Local Personal. Solicitor General dußignon left last night for Atlanta. F Alderman George J. Mills and family have returned from Asheville. 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. RIVER AND HARBOR NOTES.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1887. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. L. ('. Hendricks, auditor of the South Carolina railway, is now dangerously ill at | his residence in Charleston, 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. Renews Her Youth. Mrs. Phoebe ('besley. Petei-son, Clay coun tv, lowa, tells the following remarkable story, the truth of which is vouched for by the residents of the town: “I am 73 years old, have tmen troubled wilh kidney com plaint and lameness for many years': could not dress myself without help.

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 Fourth Brigade will not parade dur ing gala week The chairman of the Execu tive Committee has received a letter from 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.
