FORT TAMP A AGAIN STIRRED
A New Case of Yellow Fever is
Developed.
The Fruit of Official Hlajuditmeiit and
Mismanagement, it is Claimed Sev
eral Physicians Severely Criticised.
The Markomania Had the Fever on
Board and the Experts Called it Ma
laria—The Present Patient is the
Victim of Contact With That Vessel.
Tampa, Fla., Aug. 80.—The reported
case of yellow fever at Port Tampa
Tuesday lias created no little excitement
in our city. About noon Tuesday Pres
ident Henderson, of the state board of
health, received a message from Dr. J.
V Porter, who is still at Port Tampa,
slating that a case of fever had developed
there on Claude Neuman, who was then
verv ill, but is now considered better.
Newman was cheeking clerk on the dock,
ami was on tioard the Markomania fre
quently while she was at the port. The
last time he was on her w T as the Bth.
Neuman became sick about Sp. m. Mon
day, but the matter was kept quiet until
yesterday.
l-ROMPT PRESERVATIVE MEASURES.
A strict quarantine has been placed
around the ]>ort and no one allowed to
cnicr or leave the dock. Sheriff Spencer
has taken about twenty-five armed men
from the city to guard tbe negro dock
laborers who unload infected vessels, and
keep them from leaving the place. Dr.
Porter has ordered all persons who have
been in contact with Neuman or the
jMarkomania to be isolated on Picnic
Island. Guards were placed on the dock
with Winchesters, and every one was
kept under control. Trains were
promptly stopped and a strict quar
antine was immediately enforced,
and a great rush was made to
get out ofP ort Tampa city. About 350
managed to find their way out of the
neighborhood.
COMMUNICATION INTERRUPTED. ,
Telephone communication eould not be
had with the i>ort, and news is pery mea
gre. The inn and other hotels at Port
Tampa have closed their doors and work
on the Graham) Printing Company’s
building has been suspended. The busi
ness community is greatly grieved that
men of national reputation should mis
take yellow fever for malarial fever and
that ' after, raising quarantine re
strictions, a case should break out al
most in our midst and cause tbe commer
cial interest injury that will take months
to effect.
DOCTORS SEVERELY CENSURED.
Drs. Wall and Weedon pronounced the.
eases on board the Markomania yellow
fever, but Dr. Porter stated after investi
gation that it was only malarial troubles.
On that statement the quarantine was
raised and tk£ gates of Port Tampa were
opened to business. Dr. Echemendia, at
Mullet Key Station, is severely and justly
criticized for letting the Markomania
come into Port Tampa on Aug. 10 with
sickness on board under the impression
that it was of a malarial nature. Dr.
Murray of the government quarantine
station at Tortugas, who was considered
to be an expert on yellow fever, is also
censured for bringing the ship back
into Port Tampa after sho had
been sent into quarantine, some twelve
days ago, by the state board of health.
No one can help feeling that great injus
tice has been done by these officers, who
were thought to be looking to the
health of our people, and it remains to be
seen how many lives may be sacrificed by
their hasty actions. They have no right
to take chances in trying to advance new
theories at the expense of human life and
the business interests of Tampa.
T llF. NEW CASE ISOLATED.
The case at Port Tampa is isolated, and
no fear is manifested by our citizens that
it will become epidemic or get into Tampa,
as the party is ten miles from the city and
the authorities are doing all in their power
to keep everybody under control.
BRUNSWICK LETTER.
Pleasant Reading From the Rapidly
Recuperating City.
Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 80.—To the as
tonishineut o' the few Brunswickians
acquainted with the facts, a writer in the
Atlanta Constitution of Sunday last
charges the surgeons in charge of Bruns
wick's fever troubles with having moved
young Harris, against his bitter protest
and heartrending struggles, to the house
where Surgeon Branham died, and
recites in harrowing detail the imagin
ary struggles of the unfortunate young
man.
The facts of the case, as related bySur.
peon Carter, are best told in iiis own
words. He said: “On the morning
young Harris was moved I was informed
that he had himself requested it, and
furthermore X was given to understand
that his physician. Dr. Hugh Burford,
had recommended it. I visited the patient’s
room and found that lie was the only per
son living there at the time and that, un
der the circumstances then existing,
w itli the probabilities of an epidemic star
ing us in the face unless we removed the
causes, 1 consented to his removal. 1
couid not, neither eould any of the nurses,
go to him and give him the attention he
needed, and it was for the good of the
city, for Harris himself, and, as t under
stood. by his own request, and certainly
hi the advice of his physician, that lie
was moved.”
EVERYTHING JIEJXO DONE FOR THE BEST.
I hat Drs. Carter, Hutton and Guiteras
sre doing what they think best it would
'c unfair to quest ion. and those who
know the men do not indorse the severe
criticism that is being heaped upon
inein. To one not conversant with the
methods of treating the disease and the
hemic means that must be taken to stamp
a out, much that the physicians and sur
geons have done appears 10 be mere lium
ouggery.; but when one takes time to rea
son and investigate, the impression is left
that they are doing the best that eouid be
hone, and deserve, instead of harsh criti
cism. the most lavish praise that can be
given them. Drs. Hutton and Carter are
a "mg all they can to relieve Bruns
wick’s distress. and by acci
ii ut • your correspondent discovered
'hat it was Dr. Hutton's suggestion to
• urgeon-General Wyman that the gov
ernment give Brunswick SI,OOO per day
oi.t of the relief fund that first brought
jin- surgeon-general's attention to the dis
tress here. Dr. Hutton urged this amount
norore any appeal was made public, but
no modesty of the man prevented its bo
-1,1 - generally known.
SI "KIEs GROWING OUT OF THE SITUATION.
Some of the tales told on Brunswick
.msandof their dread of being found
' !’ , !in d moved to the pest house are
1n il. and some are pathetic. One of the
, V ls told on Sectetary A. V. Wood, of
e board of health, a devout churchman
“J!” Jocal scientest of note. He was
teted with a severe headache several
in - ¥?' and retired to his room. While
s ff vant spread the rei>ort that
in. i' kid the fever.” Post haste,
< doctors went to the house, and Mr.
ood saw them coming. Out of his bed
i. ,„ s,,r .‘l np ’ grabbed his clothes, got
lic .i hum, and walked out of
O* T 1 r ’whistling “After the Ball is
ot I)• Ihe doctors turned back at sight,
Wn i V heer Y countenance. And now Mr.
thmu ,! s 110 more headaches. He don't
t“;' k , Ul , e : V are safe to fool with. Old
r^les ' vtlo for years have worn
-,iiLus on their heads, jump behind
trees when they see the doctors coming j
and quickly uncover their heads for fear j
they will tie taken for sick i<ersons.
Young men who were used to making I
night merry now go to bed before sun- |
down for fear a stray microbe might !
catch them when the dew begins to fall, [
for the old-time belief that yellow fever !
is not catching while the dew is off the
ground stili no ids good in this section. i
THE MAYOR’S SQUARE NOTICE.
Mayor Lamb's strong talk to the able
bodied negro men who crowded ai-ound
tht^ relief headquarters, brought them to
their senses, but their protests and cur
ses are long and deep. Mayor Lamb told
them that relief would be cheerfully
given to the deserving poor, but those
who eould labor would be given work on
sanitation, and paid 26e. per day in cash,
with provisions lor themselves and fami
lies. There were many men in the crowd
who had quit good paying positions under
the belief that food would be given to
them free, but they left the mayor’s of
fice with many scowls when they learned
the truth of the situation.
(Since the first da.v the street corners
have been crowded with discontented and
peace disturbing negroes, but unless they
heed Mayor Lamb’s proclamation and
either get to work or leave the city, there
are yet enough men here to face them in
a general cleaning out of the entire gang.
The whites of Brunswick are few, but
as May or Lamb expresses it, “if we can’t
work them, or get rid of their discon
tented leaders, we will run them
out by means that have always
heretofore proved successful wherever
applied. The negroes are flocking to
Brunswick from all around the country,
and if they give much trouble yellow
Jack will be nowhere as a means of dis
persing them.
THE PROSPECTIVE VERY FAVORABLE.
The general outlook here is favorable,
and, while several yveeks must elapse be
fore frost, an epidemic at tiiis late day is
not expected.
A depositor can put all the money he
desires in Brunswick's banks now, but
under anew rule they have issued tem
porarily, no one can draw out over S2O
per day of their deposits. This seems
hard on depositors, but it must go for th e
present and until the yellow fever scare
is oy r er.
The public schools will open in October
at the usual time, and Supt. A. I. Bran
ham will be on hand to conduct them
safely through another year.
PORT ROYAL’S HORROR.
Little Doubt That One Hundred Lives
Were Lost.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 30. —News was re
ceived direct from Port Roy r al, S. C., last
night that 100 lives were lost in the cy
clone that burst upon that town at the
rate of 100 miles an hour on Monday, fol
lowed by a tidal wave that almost swept
the town away. This information is re
liable. It is furnished by F. M. Avenll,
general freight and passenger agent of
the Charleston, Sumter and Northern
railroad, who came up from Port Royal
last night. He says Port Royal is com
pletely cut off from the outside world.
All telegraph wires are down amtgrail
roads washed away.
WHAT MR. A\ r ERILL SAW.
Mr. Avcrill was unable to state the
exact number of lives lost, but, without
overestimating, he says he is certain they
will number over 100 unfortunates killed
and drowned. He saw himself thirty
two dead bodies. Nearly all the drowned
were negroes. So far as reported, when
Averill came away, only six white per
sons had lost their lives.
HATER FROM COOSAW RIVER.
The result of to-day’s work of the relief
party puts the number of missing at over
a hundred, but owing to the poor means
of communication, a correct list of tbe
dead cannot be obtained. in several
places along Coosaw river were found
eight or ten bodies lying on the bank
close together. Graves were hastily dug
near the places of discovery of the bodies
and, without ceremony, the storm victims
were placed beneath the earth. Many of
the dead were so far advanced in putre
faction that the sight was sickening and
revolting.
THE FEARFUL DISTRESS.
Suffering in some localities among the
negroes is reported as being distressing.
In some cases there were only one or two
left out of whole families of ten or fif
teen. To the extent of their ability the
people of Beaufort and Port Royal are
rendering all the assistance in their
power to the stricken families who lost
all in the flood of wind and water. Pro
visions and clothing are being liberally
distributed to the most needy.
NOTHING FROM ST. HELENA.
No news of definite character has been
received from St. Helena and other sur
rounding islands. The sea islands for the
most part are thickly populated, and it is
feared the loss of life lias been very great.
AFTER THE STORM.
Charleston Accustomed to the Shaft
of Devastation.
Charleston, S. C.. Aug. 30.—The cy
clone is ended. The city has started to
replace the damage, while yet shut off
from communication from the outer
world. The sight presented yesterday
was a familiar one to the people of this
city, a city almost in ruins—the streets
and thoroughfares strewn with the de
bris from the roofs of stores and dwell
ings, the roads blocked up by the h un
dreds of giant trees uprooted from the
earth, the sidewalks strewn with crumb
ling brick and mortar, the courts, and
allies and by paths under water, a mag
nificent water front, with its costly docks
where the fleet of a continent could be
berthed, piled with wreckage, some of its
churches unroofed, and almost every resi
dence in the city more or less injured.
HAIILEQUINADK OF THE EI.EMONTB.
Water and wind have played havoc in
the old City by the Sea. have laid waste
some of its pleasantest places, and "deso
lation saddens all her green.” It began
in the wee small hours of the dawn, and
while the fierce gale was still howling
through the town, threatening almost
total annihilation along the by-ways and
on the throughfares, you could see the
hewer of wood, the Afro-American citi
zens of Charleston, true to the instinct of
his race, armed with big and little hatch
ets, clearing away tho debris, with a
provident eye for extra firewood.
CLEAKINO TUE TRACKS.
A few minutes hater, away up King
street, you saw a battalion of stalwart
workmen, armed with axes, saws, picks
and spades, working their way down the
streets, close in their rear following one
of the familiar but indispensable bobtails
of the street railway, on the march from
Line street to the battery, and as they
progressed southward, almost in the teeth
of the gale, a hedge of evergreen arose on
each side of the roadway and the street
car.
The first step toward a return from
chaos to civilization is once more in evi
dence. A rough estimate of the losses
place them at something over a million
dollars. There are no lights in the city,
both gas and electricity having gone out,
and there has been no railroad communi
cation south of us. The loss of life is six
people.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. AniFST 31. ISttt
FROM GEORGETOWN. 8. O.
The Sampit River Described aa a Rag
ing Sea.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 30.—A special to
the State from Georgetown, on the coast,
sa,\ s the Sampit river is a raging sea and
its swollen tide has spread over every
dock and wharf, covering a large area ot
Front, Queen and Cannon streets to
a depth of from one to two feet, flooding
lots and stores and compelling their aban
donment. All houses on the wharves are
partially submerged and 'their contents
seriously damaged, while the swelling
waters are threatening to rise above the
floor of the stores on the west
side of Front street. A number
of small boats, lighters and bateaus
have been sunk at their moorings, while
the ends of the streets, docks and sub
merged wharves are filled with cord wood,
lumber, timber shingles, barrels of rosin,
turpentine and other debris of the storm
swept Sampit. The turpentine distille
ries of Congdon.Hazzard & Cos. on t he Pen
insula have teen wrecked and the storm
king has levied a terrible tribute upon
the stores of crude spirits and rosin, and
of cord wood from the “still” yards of
this firm, and of M. Moses & Bro., as well
as upon the largo slock of cypress timber
in the pens along the shores.
Fences innumerable have gone down
before the fury of the blast as if built of
straw, and our magnificent shado trees
have suffered to a most deplorable de
gree. In many places large oaks and elms
have been prostrated. Everywhere the
angry gale has whipped the foliage into
tatters, wrenched large arms of oaks from
their sockets and hurled them into the
streets or upon the fences. From end to
end the streets are covered with a mass
of broken and shattered limbs and with
twigs and leaves.
CITY HALL TOWER INJURED.
The east and west fronts of the
city hall tower, containing the
clock dials, have been blown in. No one
is known to be missing. News will be
anxiously awaited from North, South and
Pawley’s islands. The unparalleled and
unremitting violence and duration of the
gale render it not at all improbable that
those resorts have suffered heavily,
although no apprehension is felt for the
safety of residents and visitors.
FATE OF THE RICE CROP.
Next, what of the rice crop? The
gravest fears are entertained in this re
gard. The rice fields on the Sampit river
have been practically converted into i
part of that river, with the main land for
banks on either side. As with tho
Sampit, doubtless to a mueh worse extent
is it with the fields along the other rivers
ana Winyah bay. Some think that the
submergence of the rice has protected it
from the violence of the wind; that it has
not suffered mueli damage. Others thin k
the crop is destroyed. It is hardly cred
itable by one not an eye-witness to be told
that the waters covering the rice fields as
far as the eye eould reach were lashed
into angry waves and billows which
broke as they madly chased each other
over the submerged rice. What will tho
harvest bo? God knows.
•fears FOR THREE SCHOONERS.
A later dispatch states that Pawley’s
Island, a summer resort, is intact and
everybody is safe. The schooners Haz
ard, Waccamaw and Snyder, loaded with
lumber, cross ties and shingles from New
York, sailed on Monday, and it is feared
they had not time to make a safe offing
before the gale struck them.
LOUISVILLE GOT ITS SHAKE.
A Darky Who Was Moved to
Prayer by the Hurricane.
Louisville, Ga., Aug. 30.—The storm
here Sunday night did considerable dam
age to trees and fences. W. B. Watkins
hotel was injured by a falling tree. The
front piazza of the dwelling of Mrs. S.
Whiggam was also injured by a falling
tree.
I heard of an old darky who lives in
Mrs. -'s back yard who got up from
bed and asked his old wife to “come on
and let us pray.” He got down on his
knees, and holding out both hands said—:
“Oh good Lor,’ l’se fraid ob dis yer win,’
I’se fraid it ’ll blow disold houseand we too
inter ternity. Now dear lair’, de preacher
he say you can stop the win' and every
ting; I is no church member an hab

for netting no more. I isn't like dese
church fellers asking you something all
de time, I is ober seventy year ole an neb
ber befo’ ask you fer notting, so do gran’
me dis wun requess.”
THE BLOW AT ELLABELL.
Considerable Damage to Trees, Fences
and the Crops.
Ellabell, Ga., Aug. 30.—The storm of
Sunday night was the severest that has
ever been known in this section. The
damage to the crops, timber, stock, etc.,
is very heavy. The cotton and pea crop
in this immediate section was at least
half destroyed. Fencing in some
places was almost entirely demolished.
Col. P. W. Williams counted seventy-five
pine trees that had fallen across one
string of fence not exceeding 250 yards in
length, and his buggy house that con
tained three buggies was biown down.
Farmers are blue about the loss of crops.
OMINOUS WRECKAGE.
Two Women’s Hats and That of a Man
Float Ashore.
St. Augustine, Fla., Aug. 30.—The ter
rors of the cyclone were made apparent
to-night by two ship's spars, cabin work,
two women’s hats and a man's hat com
ing on the beach five miles south of Anas
tasia lighthouse; other undescribcd
wreckage is reported on the beach.
ANOTHER FOR GEORGIA.
A Storm Center Moving Northeast
Towards This State.
Washington, Aug. 30.—For Georgia—
Southeast winds and rain, preceding a
storm center moving northeast towards
Georgia.
STRIKE THREATENED.
Railway Machinists Said to be Pre
paring for a General Withdrawal.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 30.—1 t is reported
here to-day that the machinists of the
Louisville and Nashville, lessees of the
Western and Atlantic throughout the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, will
go out on a general strike on Friday on
account of the recent order reducing
wages. If the men go out, as reported, it
is feared that the strike will also effect
tiie Western and Atlantic and Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis, and probably
include all brunches of tbe operating de
partment of the system. In anticipation
of a general strike, the management is re
ported to have sent agents out along the
whole system to secure new men to take
the places of those who may strike.
POISONED ICE CREAM.
One Death and Others Feared From

Columbus, Ga., Aug. 30.—Mr. L. M.

fects of eating poisoned ioe cream Sunday.

Revival of Confidence and Advance in
Stocks.
Wall Street 11 o’clock a. m., New York,
Aug. 30.—The stock exchange presented
a scene of animation and cheerfulness
this morning. The better feeling which
prevailed among brokers was duo to that
most legitimate of causes, a material in
crease in the number of outside orders of
stocks and bonds. Tho market is still
feeling the impetus given it by the deci
sive vote of the House on the Wilson re
peal measure, and confidence is steadily
growing. There are numbers of operators
who are buying on tho theory
that the Senate will fall
in line with the House and that
when this happens, there will be a flood
of foreign orders for our securities. Im
provement of stocks during the first hour
of business ranged from Ito 4 y t per

SECRETARY SMITH.
Surmise As to His Motive in Coming
to Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 30. Hoke
Smith arrived here from Washington to
day. He comes, ho says, merely to look
after private business, and has nothing

mendation of the action of tho House in
repealing tho Sherman act.
RUMOR AS TO THE JOURNAL.
It is said on good authority that Mr.
Smith has eotne home to unload his inter
est in the Atlanta Journal, because of the
constant criticism that he receives on ac
count of the utterances of that paper, in
which he owns a controlling interest.
