AND QUARANTINES.
No Diagnosis in the Case of the Two
Deaths but Room for Grave Appre
hension-Only Four New Cases and
Two Deaths at Tampajin the Past
Twenty-Four Hours.
{Sanford, Fla., Nov. 1. —Dr. Taylor, of
Lake county, was here to-day investigating
the yellow fever rumor. He is thoroughly
satisfied that there is none here. He will
immediately order Lake county’s quarantine
off.
Dr. Daniels, of Jacksonville, was here to
day, and is satisfied, personally, that there
is no yellow fever here. Not a member of
the Hoard of Health could now officially ad
vise the quarantine raised. The doctor re
turned to Jacksonville this morning. He
■will lay' the facts before the board. Dr.
Brunner, of Savannah, is here, and will in
vestigate thoroughly. He is likely to make
a post mortem examination of the colored
woman who died vesterday. and then make
an official report." The people are much
quieter than vesterday, and no alarm is felt,
There is one case of slight malaria in the
city. Father Swembergb, of Orlando, died
in ’l'ampa last night.
SANFORD QUARANTINED.
Jacksonville, Nov. I.—The two deaths
from fever under suspicious circumstances
yesterday in Sanford induced the Duval
County Board of Health to seud Dr. Daniel,
a yellow fever expert, down t here last night
on a special train to ascertain the facts and
report them. Dr. Daniels returned this
afternoon anil made an official report to the
Board of Health, in which he says
that no reliable diagnosis could be
obtained, but ad; Is: “There is
undoubted room for grave apprehensions
under the circumsiaoces and I am very sure
the authorities of Sanford are so impressed
in regard to the matter themselves.” Pre
ferring to err on the safe side the Duval
county Board of Health has declared a
rigid quarantine against Sanford. Trains
will not lie alioweil to run to the
latter city but will stop some miles out
and be met there by trains from Sanford
bringing the mails aim through passengers
Through | ass-ngers will not be allowed to
come to Jacksonville, but wiil be trans
ferred at the junction outside of the city
limits to roads leading north. Sanford is
125 miles iron' Jacksonville by rail and 200
mijes by riv er. The wenthcr is cool and
there was a heavy frost this morning. There
are no fears of u spread uf the disease.
Dr. Caldwell wired the board to-day that
the quarantine station would be moved to
a point between Plant City end Seffner so
as to stop all refugees on the four railroads
centreing thereabouts.
Father Slavrel, Vicar General of the
diocese of St. Augustine, located at Man
darin, left yesterday for Tampa.
It is said'that a third patient ill under
suspicious circumstances is in a precarious
condition at {Sanford.
The lioard here wore somewhat amused
over the BuHoch episode In reply to
their notification of the doctor's arrest, the
Savannah board telegraphed that they had
no desire to interfere with the quarantine
regulations here, and added: “When you
have got through with him, will receive
him.” The members were ajnused over tne
philosophical way the case was treated, anil
several jokes at Dr. Dulloeh's expense were
indulged in. He is “rusticating” at the
''sand hills,” as Duval’s quarantine station
is called, but don’t seem to enjoy
the close attention recently paid him.
News is received here of the death of
Father Swendiergh, the Catholic pi lest who
volunteered to go to Tampa from Orlando
at the death of Father Peterman. Father
Swembergh came here a year ago or so, and
then was sent to Orlando. He was a promi
nent figure in the late local option elections
there, as he opposed the temperance side
vigorously.
The Jacksonville and St. Augustine base
ball clubs will play a match game here
Tnursday on the fair grounds. The pro
ceeds are to be devoted to the Tampa suf
ferers.

Senator Colquitt’s Speech -An Old
Flag Cut for Miss Davis.
Athens, Ga., Nov. I.— The opening day
of the Northeast Georgia Fair has been per
fect. There was a large crowd on the
grounds and eight trains a day are drawiug
large numbers of jieople into the city.
Senator Colquitt delivered the opening
address. He called attention to tiie display
made by every section of Georgia in the ex
positions in Atlanta and Macon and Athens.
He said the South had made a decisive and
practical answer to the slanders of sectional
lioliticiaus at the North, who contended
that the people of the South were lazy and
indolent, and were devoting their time to
war memoirs and bulldozing elections. He
said Georgia had proven that there
were elements of enterprise in
every section of the Slate,
and that while devoted to the memories of
the past, she had made a wonderful prac
tical revelation to the people of the North
and South alike. lie paid a glowing com
pliment to Jefferson Davis’ daughters, who
sat before him, calling them the brightest
jewels iy the Southern cross. He said he
rejoiced to know that Southern farmers mi l
partisans, although crippled by the war,
had gone to work to build themselves up
without asking a bounty from the govern
ment or without asking to prosper at some
body’s expense They sought to thrive by
no false system of protection, but
were striving to succeed by
manly sell n nance. This allusion
of Senator Colquitt was the only one ho
made to the tariff and was clmered to the
echo. Mrs. Hayes and Miss Winnie Davis
were then greeted by the old veterans, who
oa-sml before them in double file and shook
hands with them in their carriage. Both
ladies kissed the old battle Dug of uie Troup
artillery, a.id Capt. H. H. Carlton cut trom
the ci ois two stars and presented them to
the .....ijnters of the Confederacy in a beau
til’u. pi axil amul wild cheering. Miss Win
nie Davis said, as she clasped the star to her
breast, while tears tilled her beautiful eyes:
“I prize this so much, and yet it is a pity to
cut that brave old flag.’’

OYSTER HANDS STRIKE.
The Knights of Labor Bou :d to Make
a Stir in Louisiana.
New Orleans, Nov. I.— A special to the
Times-Democrat from Biloxi, Miss., says:
“About GOO men, including opster openers
and the boatmen m the employ of the can
ning company here, struck work to-day.
The striko was ordered by the
local assembly of the Knights
of Labor. Some time ago shippers
and j lackers were notified that unless 10c.
per 100 lor opening oysters was paid on and
after Nov. 1 their employes would strike
and call off all the boats engaged in fishing.
The shippers and packers have resolved not

STRIKE OF THE SUGAR HANDS.
Pattbrsonville, La., Nov. I.—A gen
eral strike among the hands on
the sugar plantations was inau
fu rated this morning on the lower
echo, in the district between Bartells Sta
tion and Morgan City. All the places above
Grandwood are stiil working, and all the
places below, and including Grand
wood, are either idle or working with
a few white hands. The planters nre
a unit in resisting the demands of the
strikers, and they hare no doubt about, the
result. There is a feeling of intense bitter
ness throughout the district against certa n
prominent leuders who have urged on the
strike, and if the matter is not promptly
settled there is no telling what the resuit
will be.
A letter received this morning from a
well-known citizen of that city explains the
situation of affairs in Terre Bonne, St. Mary
and La Fourche parishes. Because
they are threatened with eviction
from he plantations, the strikers have
become demonstrative and threatening.
The letter reads as follows: “The negroes
passed a resolution in their meetings to re
sist being put off the plantations by force.
Tuesday and Wednesday have been fixed
by the planters as the time to have the
Sheriff move them off. Judge Allen has
promised to be here Tuesday, so as to be
able to try cases. I fear trouble Wednes
day.”

confidence of victory and intimate that
their main line of action will be to fill their
offices with non-union men.

In the October number of the American
Art Journal, published in New York, is an
article purporting to give the authorship of
the tune to which is sung: “John
Brown's body lies a mouldering in
the giave,” and sometimes the words
“We’ll hang Jeff Davis on a sour apple
tree,' 1 and which came over the picket lines
and was transformed into “We’ll hang Abe
Li‘Coin on a sour apple tree.” The article
in the Art Journal ascribes the authorship
of the tune to a Charlestonian. Careful in
quiry in Charleston, says the News and
Courier, has failed to develop anybody who
has ever heard of the alleged author, Mr.
Steffe. Musicians and poets alike profess
their ignorance of any knowledge or tra
dition concerning him. It is possible, how
ever, that Mr. Steffe may have flourished
four or live generations ago. It may be
mentioned that the tune of “John Brown’s
Body’’ was a well-known plantation melody
in this State for many years before the war.
