found
Brunswick, Sept. 17. — (Special.) —
''Eleven new cases of fever today and
epidemic declared."
Such was the announcement made by
Col. Goodyear at the board of health
meeting today, sending a thrill of hor
ror through the grlef-strlcken Bruns-
-wickians present. Though prepared for
this announcement by publication to
day of the result of the TeUegt-aph cor
respondent's personal Investigation, the
shock was none the less severe. Many
■thought when today's issue of the Tel
egraph was read that the correspondent
had overdrawn the situation In yester
day's report without warrant, hut when
my words were written last night it
was with the consciousness that Bruns
wick was doomed to destruction for the
present, and though having official
announcement to that effect, I endeav
ored to so word my telegram that the
people would reed between the lines
and leave ihetr plague-stricken city.
RUSHING TO THE TRAINS.
With heart-breaking sorrow hun
dreds rushed to the trains this after-
noon, and 4t will need iw military turce
to depopulate the city. There ere the
poor In Brunswick of whom the gov
ernment und .the people of this count! y
must think. They cunnoit lesvs, for
they have no money, and “Help, or we
perish!" Is the cry that would go up
from hundreds of throats -lid they
know that It would be heard.
WUh lightened hearts and fates
Brunswtoklans have lived the last tew
dsys; but now, with our broken barks
and stricken people, It seems that the
cup Is full to overflowing.
A striking coincidence was related
by ex-Mayor Colson today, s veteran
of tils epidemic of 1878, Just seventeen
years ago, on 8undsy, the 17th of Sep
tember, 1870, Brunswick was pro
nounced stricken with an epidemic und
now s repRltlon occurs.
BURGEON GUITERAS GONE.
Dark clouds float over the city today,
adding to the gloom. Burgeon Gultcras
left this afternoon for Pntladelphia.
after doing noble work. He was celled
to the bedsit.-* of a sick wife. Surgeons
Geddtngs and Faget are'here and Bur.
geon Murray Is on rome. Work will be
commenced on the hospital buildings
tomorrow. Undertaker Moon; hts
good supply of coffins and any dead
will be decently Interred. No ditches
will be dug, but If any die they will be
given decent burial.
SCENES AT THE STATION.
During the hurry and bustle of leav
Ins today many nulled up their stares
and'then fled. Weeping mothers, wives
and children stood by the train cry
Ing as U their hearts would break, as
they Imprinted kisses on their loved
ones' Ups. probably the last they will
aver glvs. Strong men turned aside
with leant welling from their eyoa as
they viewed the affecting some, and the
prayers that were .offered In that
crowd many, but silent and sincere.
Father Hennessey, Ministers F1 F.
Cook, J. A. Thompson und D. Watson
Wlnsi were among them, offering con
sols Bon to the departing people, and
will remain to ootnfort those who can
not leave.
Physicians are beginning to arrive.
Dr. J. W. James came this morning
from Atlanta and will tender his ser
vices free of charge to the people. He
does not come os an adventurer to
build a reputation on n grief-stricken
community, but brings letters of In
troduction from Governor Northen and
other prominent people. He is s gen.
tleman and physician of the old school,
sod f it the sake of humanity has came
to help Brunswick. He read that nurses
and physicians were needed tnd cime
at once.
Jack Hastings at the Atlanta Journal
arrived today, but found that h* could
not leave the city ..t will, and returned
after securing the sltiiati.in of affair*.
NO NAMES OF VICTIMS.

the board of health today decided not
to give names for publication from to
day on All ire re-ding well except

eras warsia people from allowing dtt-
xens to spend their days (n Brunswick
and go out to their homes at night a.td

At th.- meeting today Col. Goodyear
announced tihe.t any one could go to
Atlanta. One gentleman arose and
naked when the first train left. This
wa. asked seriously, but broke up tne
•neetlng and th* citizens scrambled*
downstairs to prepare. The boat to St.
Senna’* Island will probably be stopped,
cutting off a thousand psople.

COTTON LETTER.
By Direct Wire to Lyon A James.
New York. Sept. 16.—Liverpool advises
us that a cable we sent last night giving
them an estimate of our Galveston cor
respondent of 1,500,000 bales for Texas ad
vanced that market today. He also stat
ed that the maximum estimate for Texas
was 1,750,000 at Galveston, as cotton re
ports are not improving, even if they are
not becoming worse, it emphasizes what
we said a few days agosthat a continued
unfavorable crop condition since the be
ginning of this month Is not likely to
Improve sufficiently before the end of the
month to prevent the reports that will
go to Washington by the end of Septem
ber from being anything but of an un
favorable character, and therefore that
the bureau is likely to show figures on
c >ct. 10 lower than those reported on Nrti
10. Whefyier 8% cent h for January, which
was practically reached here this mom
ing, discounts a further decline In the
condition next week, perhaps, may devel
op. It’s evident here that the bearish
feeling among Influential people Is be
coming somewhat pronounced, perhaps
because they have covered their long In
terest* and have gon« short of the mar
ket. It Is an Inexorable rule we believe
■than when there are more buvera than
sellers the market advances. If only tem
porarily, no matter how statistics may

may be said when sellers are more nu
