ENTIRELY FREED OF FEVER.
Brunswick Has Not Even Her Usual
Summer Sickness.
' Proclamation of No Fever and No Sue
picious Case Within the City On
the Other Hand, the Best of Health
Prevails .Notice That Other Than
Official Reports Should Not be Re
ceived as True The Able-Bodied Get
Notice That They Must Go to Work.
Voluntary Idlers Not to Share the
Bounty Meant for the Helpless.
Brunswick. Ga., Au?. 28. No nejpr or
suspicious cases. Brunswick has had h\c
days of freedom from fever, and the
health board has issued the following:
To the public: This board is pleased to
announce tha'. since August 10, the first
date of the yellow fever brought to this
city from the quarantine station, but
three cases have occurred : and this an
nouncement is made after thorough ex
amination of the entire city by visiting
medical experts and local physicians
There are to-day no new cases of any kind,
and the city is free from the usual sum
mer sickness. All rumors and re
ports of any other cases sent
abroad are absolutely false and’
misleading, and the public must not give
credence to the same. Only reports ema
nating from this board should be consid
ered true and official.
H. Burford, M. D., President.
The. following resolution was unani
mously adopted: "Whereas, There exists
in our community an element of popula
tion who are alarmists, and having in
terests ufTected by erroneous ami false
rumors of further Infection in our city,
‘•Be it resolved by this board, That our
mayor issue a proclamation making it a
crime punishable by fine and imprison
ment for any person or individual tore
port any cases as yellow fever except as
announced officially by this board.
MUST GET TO WORK.
Mayor Lamb issued the proclamation,
also one notifying all able-bodied men to
get work or be run in for loafing
on the streets. There are now about 1,000
negroes to 500 whites in BHlinswick, and
the situation is perplexing in order to ju
diciously distribute relief. The mayor
has divided the city into five wards, each
ward in the hands of a competent com
mittee, who will report those who are
needy.
THE STORM.
A terrible storm swept Brunswick, St.
Simons and Jekyl yesterday and last
night, cutting off telegraph communica
tion for twenty hours. In the city great
damage was (foue iu the suburbs. Fences
are down and large trees lying across
streets. The roof at the north end of
the Oglethorpe hotel was blown off. the
Kaiser block damaged and the roof of
Mayer & Oilman's buildiug partly blown
off. A large tree fell on the house of W.
H. Harris and smashed the roof in. The
front of Merrifteld’s bar was blown out,
who lost $l5O and f!K) worth of cigars.
The Ocean Hotel, from broken glass and
other wrecks of the wind, was damaged
$l5O. The front windows of Nunn
& Taylor’s saloon were demolished, every
window in the colored Odd Fellows' hall
was smashed, and the roof damaged. A
tree smashed in Postmaster Mcßrown's
house, narrowly missing himself and
wife. The Graoie, the largest pilot boat
here, turned bottom up. the watchman
and family of seven being rescued after
great trouble. The pilot boats Glynn and
Telegram were blown ashore. A large,
unknown schooner is ashore on Jokyl
beach. The sea wall at St. Simon's is badly
damaged, and oilier damages in the city
running the total into the thousands.
B. & W. HEADQUARTERS.
They Are Established at WaycroßS.
Way cross. Ga.. Aug. 27.—The headquar
ters of the Brunswick and Western rail
road were established here to-day. The
clerks arrived in the morning from Tif
ton and were met outside the city limits
by Surgeon Hutton and Supt. Geo. W.
Haines in a private car. Surgeon
Hutton returned to Brunswick. The
railroad officials were detained five days
in Tifton.
THE STORM AT WAYCROSS.
It Was the Heaviest in Years, But No
Lives Lost.
Waycross, Ga., Rug. 28.—The officers
and clerks of the Brunswick and Western
raiiroad are stopping at the Southern
hotel for the present. The offices are be
ing lilted up in the Johnson building, on
Plant avenue, and are below the Herald
office. The headquarters are convenient
to the bank, depot, railroad and Western
Union telegraph offices.
Surgeon Hutton is expected to arrive
here with Surgeon Magruder from Camp
Hutton to-night. Surgeon W. H. Carson
will receive an assignment from Surgeon
Hutton to-night.
surgeon button’s orders.
Orders have been issued from Surgeon
Hutton to the government inspectors here
und at Jesup, instructing them not to
allow any passengers from south of Jesup
on the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad and front south of Way
cross on the Brunswick and Western
railroad to stop south of Atlanta.
Ko one will be permitted to leave Bruns
wick until the government quarantine
station is opened for Brunswick refugees.
At Camp Hutton last night tho wind
blew down the tents and buildings which
had been erected. The buildings were
not completed aud could not withstand
tho violence of the storm. An effort
was made this morning to secure a large
number of carpenters and laborers to go
to Camp Hutton and work. It is the in
tention of the government to open the
camps formally for the reception of
Brunswick refugees Thursday. As soou
ns Camp Hutton is opened to the yellow
fever refugees, it is probable that all the
poor people in Brunswick will come there
and remain until they have been instruct
ed to leave by the government, while
those who are able will leave for the
north when they find that it is not to
their interest to remain there. It is safe
to say. if this conclusion is correct, that
Brunswick wilf be deserted in two weeks’
time and the yellow fever germs will
die. because they will have nothing to
feed upon. If such is the case, and
yellow fever does not become epidemic,
the government will probably decide that
the best way to deal with the disease to
prevent an epidemic is to isolate the
cases and for the people to desert the
town. What has been decided upon b,v
the government as being the proper course
to pursue in combating an epidemic of
yellow fever, will to devolo|>ed in the
course of time. Should Brunswick be
come deserted and no new cases of yellow
fever develop, at the end of two months
the people will return to that place and
1 business will ho resumed.
The storm struck thus place at 3 o'clock
vesterday. Several small buildincs are
reported as having been blown down last
! night in the vicinity of W'aycross The
I telegraph wires in every direction except
! to Jacksonville have been down all day
The blow was the severest that has vis
ited this place in several years. No lives
1 are lost, and It is not known to what ex
tent the crops have been damaged in this
section.
i The rei<orts from the surrounding coun
try are about the same-os at W'aycross.
HAVOC AT JESUP.

Jesup, Ga., Aug. 28.—This section was
visited yesterday by one of the severest
wind storms known for years. The storm

were hurt by a falling tree.
Leander Sternes, colored, lost his bouse

roads are impassible.
Dr. Samuels, government quarantine
officer, has assumed charge of the quar
antine regulations here. His instructions
are to allow no passengers, baggage or
freight from Brunswick or points be

The city officials raised the quarantine
against Tampa and other Florida points
this morning.
AT LYONS.
Lyons, Ga., Aug. 28.—A severe storm
of twenty-four hours duration ended
here this morning. It commenced yester
day morning about 8 o’clock blowing from
the northeast. The wind continued to
get higher all day until last night spout
8 o’clock, when it changed round to the
north and from then until a tout 1 o’clock
this morning the only word that can de
scrito it is “terriUc.” For six hours the
roar of the wind was like thunder inter
spersed with the continual fallingof trees.
Houses shix)k and in some instances the
occupants left them and took the wind
and rain out of doors, preferring,they say,
to stand the beating of the rain to that of
scantling and boards.
1 can stand on my piazza and count 35
large trees in a radius of 200 yards bio wu
up by the roots.
The Sam train which was due here at
10 o’clock last night did not arrive until 2
o’clock this morning, but from
the report they brought the storm
wits not near so severe between
here and Amcricus as it was between
here and Savannah, as the Central rail
road train due here last night at 11:45
o’clock did not get here until ti this morn
ing, and reports having to cut US trees,off
the track. The wires are all down
and public rot its are all blocked with
falleu timner. I have not been able to
hear from any other points.
AT GUYTON. ,
Guyton, Aug. 28.—Guyton experienced
the severest storm yesterday and last
night in the recollection of its oldest cit
izens. Rain began about noon, with oc
casional gusts of wind, which increased
until midnight. The storm then subsided
for a short time, but soon became as fierce
as ever.
The damage done to the town and sur
rounding country cannot be estimated.
A. J. Futrell’s store was unroofed and
the goods damaged.
Conductor B. B. Cubbedge’s servant
house was removed from the blocks and
tfte chimney blown down.
The kitchen and dining room of Cliff
Hodges were blown off of the blocks.
The huge rod oak, which has been ad
mired for many years by our people and
by all visitors, and which was so highly
prized by Mr. P. M. Adams, is lying flat
upon the ground.
Some of the streets are impassable, be
ing obstructed by fallen trees.
Most of the people of Guyton spent a
sleepless night, and many of them sat up

the farms, the growing crops having been
badly damaged.
Mrs. Minnie Lawrence is quite ill at the
home of William Speir.
AT MIDVILI.E.
Midville, Ga., Aug. 28. —This section

storm last night that has
been seen in our section for
many years. The blow started about
7 o’clock p. m., and was at its highest be
tween 10 and 11 o’clock. Many trees,
fences and out-houses in the country were
blown down. J. T. Agerton’s gin-house
was demolished. It contained seed cotton
and oats. x
AT CAMERON.
Cameron, Ga., Aug. 28. —Tho storm
here last right did great damage. A
large tree fell on the residence of Dr. J.
F. Brown, but fortunately no one was
injured. All the inmates, however, were
badly frightened. The cotton crop is al
most a total loss. It was just, ready for
picking and none of tho neighboring
planters had picked their cotton over the
first time. A number of the large water
oaks surrounding the house of Capt. W.
M. Henderson were blown down. The
scene beggars description.

lars up to this time. Dr. P. H. Comas of

parties, but he has not yet returned.
AT UINESVILI.E.
Ilinesville. Ga.. Aug. 28.—A most se
vere wind and rain storm visited this sec
tion yesterday and last night. The dam
age chiefly done was the blowing down of
thousands of pines that had been made
weak by boxing. Many fences were lev
eled to the ground and the damage done
the county will figure in the thousands.
AT MINTOSU.

THE MOKNIXG NEWS: TU ESDAY, AUGCST 29. 1*93.
THE WILSON BILL PASSED.
Both the Bland and Cockrell Amend
ments Rejected.
Public Interest in the Result Suffices
to Crowd the House Galleries,
Which is Unusual on a Day of Roll
Calls -The Wilson Bill Receives
a Majority of 130 Votes- The
Senate Settles the Lee Mantle
Case and Proceeds With the Finan
cial Problem.
Washington, Aug. 28. —The knowledge
that the day would be devoted to roll
calls which, though relating to the most
important question which has attracted
the attention of the country for the past
quarter of a century, are not of exciting
interest to the ordinary spectator in the
galleries, had no effect ut>on the audience
this morning. Long before the noon hour
of meeting, the public galleries
were jammed with earnest
listeners. When, at a quarter
before noon, the reserved galleries were
opened Jhere was a rush made to secure
good seats, and in a moment every bench
was filled with ladies in summer cos
tumes who manipulated their fans in or
der to temper the intense heat which per
vaded the chamber.
The floor was the scene of confusion,
the various leaders being busy in mar
shaling their cohorts. Every member
was on the tiptoe of expectation, and it
may be safe to say that every represen
tative who was not detained by illness
was in his seat.
The House was called to order
proniply at 13 o’clock, and the chaplain
invoked the special divine guidance of
members at this critical moment.
FIRST AMENDMENT DEFEATED.
The Wilson bill having been read, Mr.
Bland offered his first amendment, that of
free coinage at the present ratio of 16 to 1.
ami it was defeated by a vote of yeas 124,
nays 220, amid applause from the anti-su
ver men, who received one more majority
than they expected. Mr. Shell, dom.,
S. C., in favor of free silver, was
paired with Mr. Graham, dem.. N. Y., op
posed to it. Not nearly as much interest
was taken in the second vote, which
was on ratio of 17 to 1. The decisive vote
on the 16 to 1 ratio seemed to dishearten
the silvet men, and, in place of the atten
tion which was paid to the first vote, list
lessness spread throughout the hall. The
vote resulted In the defeat of the
amendment by a vote of yards 1100, nays
240. The populist members did not vote.
The members who voted for the l* 5 to
1 ratio but against the 17 to 1 ratio were:
Messrs. Brotz, dem., lnd., Brookshire,
dem., lnd., Bryan, dem., Neb., Conn,
dom., lnd., Doolittle, rep., Wash'n.,
Geary, dem., Cai., Harris, pop., Ivans.,
Holman, dem., Ind., Latimer, dem., S. C.,
McGuire, Cal., McKeigan, pop., Neb.,
McLuurin, dem., S. C., Post, rep., 111.,
Strait, dem., S. C., Sweet, rep., Idaho,
Talbert, dem., S. C., and Taylor, dem.,
lnd.
The members who voted for the 16 to l,
and who declined to vote at all on the 17
to 1 amendment, were: Messrs. Baker
pop., Kas., Bankhead, dem., Ala., Boen,
pop., Minn., Cannon, dem., Cal., Cockrell,
dem., Tex., Davis, pop., Ivan., Grady,
dem.. N. C., Hudson, dem., Kan., Keer,
pop., Neb., Pence, pop., Colo., Simpson,
pop., Ivan., and Turpin, dem., Ala.
Messrs. Russel, dem., N. C., and Snod
grass, dem., Tenn., who voted against the
16 to 1 ratio, voted in favor of 17 to 1.
The 18 to 1 standard was defeated by a
vote of, yeas, 102; nays. 239. Of those
who previously voted for 16 or 17 to 1 the
following did not vote at all on the 18
ratio; Allen, Miss.; Bankhead, Ala.;
Bailey, Tex., Cannon, dem., Cal.; Grady
and Livingston, Ga.
The house then voted on the 19 to 1
amendment, and it was defeated by a
vote of yeas 104, nays 238. Then came
the 20 to 1 amendment, and this in turn
was defeated, though it showed strength,
the vote standing: Yeas 121, nays 322.
The proposition to re-enact the Blaud-
Allisou act as a proviso to the repeal bill
received the strongest support, but even
that was defeated by a majority of 77, the
vote standing yeas 136, nays 213.
TUB FINAL VOTE.
Then came the final vote, which Bai
ley, dein, of Texas. endeavored to stave
off for a short time by offering an amend
ment to repeal the parity clause of the
Sherman act, in the hope that by doing
so he could rally some of the gold men to
his support and thus weaken the friends
of the unconditional repeal of the pur
chasing clause. But Speaker Crisp ruled
that this was not in order pending the de
mand of the engrossment and third read-

ingof the bill.and the hill was accordingly
ordered to a third reading.
Then Mr. Bailey raised the point that
there should be a division of the question.
One part of it repealed the purchasing
clause and the other retained the parity
clause. There should be a separate vote
on each. But again the Speaker |x>inted
to the decisive order of the resolution
under which the House was acting, and
held that such separation could not be
had.
180 MAJORITY FOR REPEAL.
The vote was then taken upon the final
passage of the Wilson bill, and it- was
passed, yeas 240, nays 110. A compari
son of seven separate votes taken shows
that at no time did the anti-silver men
have less than 77 clear majority. Their
greatest strength was shown on the sev
enteen to one majority, of 140. On the
final passage of the bill the antis mus
tered the same strength as this, but
ow ing to a desperate rally of the silver
men their majority was cut down to 129.
One of the surprises of the day was the
lack of strength on the 20 to I amend
ment, which was supposed to be the
strongest proposition that the silver men
had in reserve. Asa matter of fact, it
was weaker by three votes than the 16 to
1 proposition, and the majority against it
was 101.
BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.
Work Enough in View For Both Hie
Bodies.
The House, Having Won For Itself a
Respite, Will Probably Take a Few
Dayß Off -The Principal Standing
Committees, However, Have Plenty
to Engage Them -Outlook For a
, Tariff Bill at the Present Session.
Meanwhile the Senate Will Be Oc
cupied Almost Wholly With Mon
etary Discussions.
Washington, Aug. 28. —The Wilson bill
having reached a decisive vote to-day ac
cording to the general agreement entered
into two weeks ago, it is the purpose, as
understood, to proceed with business of
the session on the lines then laid down as
to other special matters.
RULES COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
Accordingly the report of the committee
on rules will be brought before the House
to-day. There has been no bitterness of con
test over the rules which are to govern
the deliberations of the Fifty-third
congress, although, as is usual, the minor
ity of the committee, Messrs. Reed and
Burrows, may have something to say in
opposition to the report; the effect of
the changes adopted in which will he ex
plained by My. Catcbings. It is.expected
that the committee's report will be
adopted without anything like obstructive
discussion.
At this point the house will have com
piled to the letter with the programme
decided upon for itself and will practi
cally arrive at a standstill for lack of
something to legislate upon, the burden
of the session's work being transferred,
for a time at least, to the Senate.
PROBARLY A SHORT RECESS.
In that contingency it is quite likely
the House will vote itself a recess for a
few days, which, to express it candidly,
it has abundantly earned by closest ap
plication for tedious days and nights to
the silver discussion. But, should the
House elect t 8 remain in session, there is
much business on the calendar to occupy
the members.
WRYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
The ways and means committee's meet
ing to-day is expected to develop im
portant results. Chairman Wilson com
bines a strong personal influence with an
aiert and masterly grasp of committee
management, and the principal committee
of the House may therefore be expected
to emerge even from its first formal com
ing together with considerable work laid
out for legislation, either now or at the
regular meeting in December. Those
who, really or affectedly, have supposed
that the tariff issue had toon in the least
obscured through the necessary promi
nence asserted by the financial problem,
will find that ihe strong point of the
party's creed is to come to the front in
great shape.
BILL ON THE TARIFF.,
Mr. Wilson’s appointment to the chair
manship of the ways and means commit
tee was assurance of this with those who
remembered Ilia remarkably strong atti
tude for tariff reform in 1887 and his very
able and eloquent exposition of its bene
fits during the debates of that year. It is
said that he has already prepared a bill for
the general revision of the tariff and that
he will submit it without delay to the
committee. For that matter, thcro are
numbers of other schemes and sugges
tions. and not a few formulated bills, all
looking to this reform, in the hands of
the committee, and there is no doubt that
the suitable date for reporting the best
measures, and also as to the advisability
or not of having hearings from interested
parties, will occupy its early attention.
B ANKING AND CURRENCY.
The banking and currency committee
will also meet to-day. It will prob
ably discuss Representative Johnson's
bill providing for the exchango of na
tional bonds for currency whtn so de
sired by the holder. With some modifi
cation looking to the protection of the
treasury gold from possible depletion
through the operation of the hill or by
designing bondholders, it is rx|H'Cted
that the Johnson bill will be reported
favorably.
The committee on appropriations will
meet during the week. There are im
portant matters to bo considered, among
them the appropriation of ?300.0tKl
asked by the Secretary of the Treasury
to defray the expense of "continuing the
moinageof fractional silver coin, and
some 445X00, to be paid for a special char
acter of paper on which to print treasury
notes.
BUSINESS IN THE SENATE.
The Senate during the week will be en
grossed by financial measures. The first
business, however, will to to dispose of
the Lee Mantle senatorship, which rray
or may not develop dilatory or delaying
elements. However, it is safe to say that
the Wilson bill will take its place at some
l>ointofthe session of to-day. and that
from that time finance, in various phases,
will occupy the Senate from day to day
for some time.
IN THE SENATE.
The Bill to Allow National Banks
to Increase the Circulation.
Washington. Aug. 28.—The question
of the right of the governor of
a state to appoint a senator
to fill a vacancy caused by the expiratVm
of a regular term land not hapjs’nlne by
resignation or otherwise) was decided by
the Senate to-day in the negative. The
final vote in the two eases from Montana
and Washington, deciding Messrs Mantle
and Alien to be not entitled to seats, was
32 to 29. There was no rot** necessary to
be taken in the third of these cases, that
from Wyoming. Mr. Beckwith having
resigned his appointment more than a
month ago.
FINANCE IN THE SENATE.
The remainder of the day's session was
occupied in the consideration of the bill
allowing national banks to increase their
circulation up to the par value of the
bonds deposited by them to secure circu
lation. The amendment which Mr. Cock
rell had offered some time ago to allow
the redemption of the $25,000,000 2 per
cent, bonds and payment for them in
anew issue of legal tender notes, was
rejected 23 to 29 Another amendment
was offered by Mr. Cockrell, and dis
cussed at great length, to allow tho hold
ers of any United States bonds to de
posit them in the treasury and receive
their face value in greenbacks, and. re
paying the greenbacks, get back their
bonds #ith the interest which had ac
crued on them while in the treasury, less
by IVJ j>er cent. No action was taken on
the amendment.
THE HOUSE BILL TO REPEAL.
The House hill, to repeal the Sherman
act, was laid before the Senate and re
lated to the committee on finance, Mr.
Voorhees, chairman of that committee,
announcing that there would be prompt
action by the committee to-morrow.
The Senate adjourned at 5 o'clock p. m.
