10 WATCHING TAMPA EMIGRANTS. S AMT ARY INSPECTORS MEETING TRAIN’S THAT COME. FROM FLORIDA. Number nntf Cln* of P*en>rer* From the City Where Yellow Fever Exists, the Bagface They Carry ancf Their Probable Ex j.OMiie to Infeetloii Included In the Information lnupertor* Are Gathering— \ Measure off Precau tion and a Source of Information. Surgeon \\ bite of the Marine Hot tiital Service, to Ad vine Dr. Ilrun ner off Situation in Tampa. Beginning early tlti* morning every train entering the city from South I* ior ida was inspected by fitn officer of the local health department, the purpose of the inspection being to Iteep Dr. Brun ner advised of the extent of the emigra tion from the city where yellow fever is aaid to be existent, and the character of the passengers who are fleeing from the danger. The decision to inspect northbound trains on the Plant System, Seab>ard and Soot hern, was reached by Health Officer Brunner on yesterdtey, andf immediate measures were taken to put his deter mination into effective operation. Tha railroads threw no obstacles in the way of the proposed inspection, but on the contrary, instructed the conductors of . their trains to render the sanitary inspec tors every practicable assistance. No quarantine has be en declared, and none will be declared ivnless there material change in the situation. Dr. Brunner stated that he did not believe j a quarantine was necessary under present | conditions, and that he certainly would j not advise that a proclamation, declaring j a quarantine against Tampa, be issued, j tinless he was convinced that the fever wae epidemic or likely soon to become so. In the meantime, however, he is taking all other precaution? in his power to pro- j tect this city against the possibility of Infection. The trains .are being inspect ed as they enter the city, and the inspec tors are under special instructions to per form their duty with all possible thorough ness and care, and to collect all the de sired information they can poesibly ob tain. Dr. Brunner has not found it nec essary to increase his present office and field force for the purpose of dealing with the situation, finding the tnen already under his charge, amply able to do what ever is to be done. The inspectors will ascertain the num ber of iassengers aboard the trains who arc from Tampa, thfir character and ap parent station in life, the probabilities of their exposure to infection in their na tive city and other informal ion that will assist the health officer in making up his mind as to the proper course to pursue. The baggage carried by the passengers from Tampa will also be inspected and bedclothes of every kind will have to un dergo a severe and rigid scrutiny. In scarcely anything else that a passenger in at ail likely to carry with him may the germs of disease be more easily con- veyed. Nothing can or will be done with these passengers from Tampa until a quarantine lias been pro claimed An effort will be made, however, to keep some track of their movements and. In case quarantine Is de clared. not to permit their return to Sa vannah. after they have passed through, un II the danger period has elapsed. The first train to Ire Inspected under this order from the health officer was the Plant System train reach here at 12:10 a. m., railroad time. The Southern train, that rolled Into the city an hour and a half later, was also to an Inspection of the same character. The Inspections will be con tinued regularly on all trains entering the city from Tampa or the south, until San ger of infection from that point has passrd or another system of protection is substi tuted in their stead. Dr. Brunner was asked If there had b*e-i any change in the situation since the time of his first statement to the Morning News, that was printed yesterday. "None,” he said. “I expect to receive to-morrow at noon an expert opinion of the character, extent and danger of the yellow fever situation at Tampa, and un til this is received 1 do not feel In a po sition to say what measures of precaution X shall adopt or urge upon the sanitary board for the fuiure protection of the city. Dr. J. Y. Porter, president of the Florida State Board of Health, and Sur- Ceon J. H. White, of the Marine Hos pital service, are on their way to Tampa, and Dr. White, when he reaches that city and has had time and opportunity to make his Inspection will advise me of tbe condition he finds. He is an expert in the discovery and treatment of yellow fever, and I feel safe in relying upon the Information he will give me. 1 shall be guided largely by what he has to say." Dr. White and Dr. Porter were both at Key West when they received information of the existence of yellow fever at Tam pa. They sailed from Key West to Mi ami and there took train for Palatka, whence they left for the scene of the yellow fever scare or epidemic l , whichever It may turn out to be. They are expected to reach Tampa early this morning, and Dr. White has agreed to advise Dr. Brun ner as soon as he can make up his opin ion as to the facts. The health officers of Augusta and Brunswick communicated with Dr. Brun ner by telephone on yesterday and stated that these cities would await the deter mination of Savannah in the matter of quarantine and would not close their gales to goods and passengers from Tampa un til similar action had been taken here. This Is a well-deserved recognition of the Ability of the health department of this city to cope with epidemic diseases, wher ever they exist, and It has Inspired the health officer with a determination to de serve the trust, that Is, if possible, more fixed and absolute than when he was sad dled with the responsibility for the health of his own city alone. It is understood that Charleston Is in the same position ns Brunswick and Augusta, and is likewise awaiting the decision that Dr. Brunner ahall reach. "It puts us on our mettle," said Dr. Brunner, “and we certainly shall seek not to declare or delay the Inauguration of quarantine regulations Improperly.’’ "The disease Is clearly not yet epidemic In Tampa,’’ he continued, "though 1 sur mise that there are more cases than have teen repotted. My experience leads roe to the conclusion that it is about the twenty-fifth case of yellow fever that is discovered and Identified as the disease, and I fear that there are something like that many cases In Tampa to-day. My advices from Dr. White will give me the facts.” Should a quarantine proclamation be Is sued and a force of Inspectors be needed. Dr. Brunner states that there would be no difficulty In getting them at short no tice. Already there ore a number of ap plications cn file in his office for such positions, that were made on yesterday after the announcement of the existence of yellow fever In Tampa, made In the Morning News. From these applications and others that will he made a force of Inspectors could be promptly selected and organised But a very short space of time. Dr. Brunner says, would be necessary to make the quarantine thoroughly effective. The summer Is passing, have you taken in the Plant System Sunday excuralone to Charleston?

The local fire underwriters received yes terday the annual statement of receipts and losses of the various companies rep resented here for the year ending June 30. | As usual, the statement shows that the companies received more chan they lost. The total receipts were $425.599 and the losifes $244,632. T ais is apparently a comparitvely good eho sing, but the agents claim that with 35 r*r cent, added for expenses that the companies have lost money. As Savan nah had but few tires of importance dur ing t;he year it is difficult to see how the eomrunles make up their total of $244,- *Y.\2 basses for Savannah, unless they in clude the loss of the oil niili refinery, ! which, is outside of the city limits. The. largest receipts and the largest j profks were by the Aetna of Connecti cut. the Continental of New York, the Fire Association of Philadelphia, the Ger mania of New York, the Han over of New York, the Hart fiord of Connecticutt. the London and Lancashire of England, the North I British and Mersey of England, the Penn- j eylvania of Philadelphia, the Royal of > Enjgland, the Southern Mutual of Athena, the Western of Canada, the Westchester of New York, and the W.lliamsburg, city of New’ York. The Southern Mutual had the largest receipts. $43,777, with loss:® of $6B-18. The Liverpool, London and Globe had receipts of $21,164, with losses of $19,551. Several companies had losses slightly in excess of receipts, but the majority of the companies appear to have made money. 33ATTINGS OF WIRE GRASS. Mr. AV. E. Wimpy Doesn't Believe the Georgia Grnn Would Serve. Wire grass is used in Minnesota to make mattings, wrapping twine, baskets and stands. The Northwestern Grass Twine Company is the name of a concern at St. Paul, of which a long write-up appears in the New’ York Sun. Struck by the name of the grass and reminded that Georgia has hundreds of thousands of acres grown up with wire grass, a representative of the Morning News sought to discover with what suc cess the prodvfcrts of the grass are man ufactured and put on the market. It was thought possible that some use, other than feeding cattle, might be discovered for the Georgia brand of the grass. Mr. W. E. Wimpy was found, and his judgment of the wire-grass products turn ed out in St. Paul was discovered to be such as would probably discourage any one figuring upon establishing a similar business in this state. He had tried the matting and other stuff made from the grass and was by no means well pleased with it. “It Is slnogriy no good,” said Mr. Wimpy. “I put my money in the stuff and lost it. I wouldn’t have any more of it if it were given me. It wears out immediately. Rushes and rattan seem to be the only things that can be used satisfactorily for making mattings. No, I do not believe the Georgia' wire grass would be any better for the purpose than that which is used in Minnesota. You see, the grass down here has a pith in it, and that is w hat’s tjhe matter with that used in Min nesota.” TRANSFER, HAS BEEN MADE. C. R. Mcßride Now Owns the Prop erty at No. 15 Congress Street. The formal transfer of the property. No. 15 Congress street, east, just opposite Christ Church, has been made. The sale was made by the surviving trustee of the property to C. R. Mcßride, a merchant of Miami, Ind. The consideration was $7,500, $5,000 of which was borrowed from one of the banks in the city. It will be recalled that this property was introduced into the campaign that preceded the Democratic primary last May. The c6aim was made that it was used for gaming purposes, though owned and let by one of the most ardent .sup porters of the faction that had anti-gam bling as it campaign cry. After the mat ter was brought to the attention of the owner, the occupants of the building were notified to vacate. The formal transfer of the property for the consideration nam ed is believed to have settled the mat ter. HOUSES ARE IN DEMAND. Claimed That Those Looking for Homes Meet With Difficulty. Real estate agents assert that there Is a great demand for houses. Many per sons are looking for homes, and the agents are kept busy showing the houses that are on their lists. It Is said there will be some difficulty in providing all the homeseekers with just what they are look ing for. ' Those who are moving from old homes to new declare that they encounter diffi culties in finding suitable houses. It would seem from the many complaints that are made that there would be a ready demand for many new houses. Oct. 1 is the time usually appointed for the contracts to ex pire, and new leases will be made to date from then. A NEW PROPOSITION. Joseph Iron Company Wants Die City Gnrlinge. The Street and Lane Committee of Council met yesterday afternoon and re ceived a proposition from Mr. Joseph Wolf, manager of the Isaac Joseph Iron Company of Cincinnati, for the disposal of ihe city garbage. Mr. Wolf proposes to receive the garb age at any point the city may designate, and to sort It over for the purpose of ob taining whatever articles of value it may contain. He estimates that about $10,0(10 a year should be derived from the sale of waste paper, old iron, tin and other ma terials found In the garbage, the proposi tion being to give the city one-half the profits. The committee took Mr. Wolffs propo sition under consideration, WITHOUT RECOURSE TO LAW. President Egin Relieves the Right of Way Can Re Settled. President John M. Egan of the Central Railroad said yesterday that he believed the trouble reported from Atlanta over the road's right of way between that place ard East Point will be settled with out recourse to law. He had received no positive Information as io just what steps had been taken, but. In his opinion, the parties at Interest will be able to come to an agreement. Died From the Heat. Coroner Goette Investigated the death yesterday morning of William Maner, colored, ol 411 Oglethorpe avenue, east. Maner appeared to have died from the effects of the heat the day previous. He had been working at the Seaboard ter minals on Hutchinson's Island elnce Mon day, and the heat appeared to have been too much for him. Coroner Goette took this view of the matter and held no in quest. Tetter—No Care, So Pay.

BIT TO-DAY’S GAME WILL BE PLAYED JI'ST THE SAME. A Stake off SSOO for This Afternoon's Game Yesterday's Game Well Played. Rnt YYon by Brnnswiek on a Score off O to 1— Frank Butler Here to Arrnuge a Series off Games Between Brunswick and Fernnn dlna for SI,OOO, Which Slay Be Played at Savannah (hue Hall Expected Here To-day to Root for Brunswick—He Will Ben Feature off the Game. The Brunswick team defeated Jackson ville again yesterday afternoon at the Bolton stre t grounds in a c'.osely played and sharply contested game of ball. The game was played in one hour and forty five minutes, and at the end of that time the score stood Brunswick 6 and Jackson ville 1. This game was the second of the series to be played by these teems for a purse of SI,OOO, and by winning it the management of the Brunswick aggregation receives the purse, as the series was the best two out of three games. However, this by no means ends the e ri- s, and the third game will be played this aftfrnoon as scheduled. The Jacksonville team does not yet feel that the Brunswick boys are their super iors at the national game, and the Jack sonville managfrmnt are evidently of the same opinion as ihe’r players and, In fact, are so confident of lowering the col ors of their rivals that they have made a side bet of $250 with the manager of the Brunswick team on this afternoon’s game. Tfie game yesterday afternoon was as j pretty an exhibition of fast, clean base ball as one would wish to see, and for six innings both teams were blanked in one two. three order. The seventh inning proved a lucky one for Brunswick and five runs were credited to them in their half. Brunswick score.! again in the ninth and their run-getiing was ended. For eight innings the Jack sonville team scored goose-eggs and up to the ninth inning only two hits were made off Wolfe's delivery and only three men reached first bag. and one of them got as far as second; but AVolfe was pitching a second base game and there the Jackson ville runner remained. In their half of the ninth Jacksonville managed to get a man across the plate and saved them selves from a whitewash. Holland opened up for Brunswick in the seventh with a clean single to left garden. Garrett, who followed Holland, bunted to third, but Union, in his eagerness to make a double play, threw wild to second In his effort to put out Holland, who came to third on the error, Garrett stealing second on the next pitched ball. With Holland on third and Garrett on second and no outs the Brflnswlck rooters were jubilant. Kaphan, the next batter, filed out to left. Philips, who came to the bat next, faced O’Neill with a determination to do or die, and very neatly placed a well-timed single to center field, scoring Holland and Gar rett and virtually winning the game for Brunswick. Philips reached third on a wild throw of Summers. Wolfe got his base on balls. Hallowell fouled out to catcher. With two men out, two on bases and two runs already to Brunswick's credit in this inning, Jim Ballantyne cracked out a corking two-bagger to right center, scoring Phillips and Wolfe. This do|ve of Ballantyne’s hit the center field fence. Ballantyne scored on a bad throw of catcher to third. This ended the scoring for Brunswick in this inning. Brunswick scored again in the ninth on a hit by Philips, a sacrifice by Woife and a wild throw of Middlebrook’s, which allowed Philips to score. Jacksonville’s only tally was made In the ninth. Harrison, the first man up in his inning, got his base on balls, was advanced to second by Linton being hit by a pitched ball, which placed that play er on first. Conroy singled, but Har rison in trying to make a tally for his team was thrown out at the plate on this hit. With Linton on second and Conroy on first, O’Neill hit a line drive to right center which was reached by Kaphan after a hard run, but the hit was hard to handle and was an excusable error for Kaphan, which allowed Linton to make Jacksonville’s first and only tally. The next two batters went out in quick order. For six innings O’Neill was Invinelble, but In the seventh he had a bad inning, which was not his fault, as chances had been given to retire the side. The pitch ing of O’Neill was of the gilt-edge order and should have won any ordinary game; but Denny Wolfe was a stumbling block to Capt. O’Neill's men and only three scattering hits was all the damage the Jacksonville boys could do to his deliv ery. Both pitchers did excellent work, with Wolfe having the better of the argument, and he was ably backed up by the sup port his team gave him. O’Neill’s sup port was also good, with the exception of the seventh and ninth innings. Vlllineau, Harper, Garrett and Ballan tyne put up an infield game that was hard to beat, and maybe those boys didn’t cover their ground. Garrett is playing an excellent game at third, and goes after everything. Ballantyne put up a pretty game at short, accepting seven chances. Bub Harper made another of his famous one-hand stops, and also a nice catch of a difficult fly ball. Vlllineau Is a verita ble stonewall on first base. Kaphan made a pretty catch in right garden. Ballantyne led a* the bat, with a double and single. Holland, Philips and Conroy also got two hits apiece. Tom Holland is hitting them nice, and the pitchers have to put them over for him. Philips hit in good time, and his single played an Important factor In winning the game. Conroy got two of the three hits that his side made. O’Connor made a pretty catch of Kaphan’s drive in the second inning. Harrison plays a nice field, hits nice, and is always in the game. Hutch ins and Conroy played nice ball. “Buck” Hollowell caught a nice game. “Buck" Is a good one in any position. The following is the official score: Brunswick— AB. BH. R. PO. A. E.

Frank is captain of the Fernandina team and he says that his team is ready to play the Brunswick team in any diamond for SSOO a aide. Mr. Hlrsch was called on in regard to this challenge of Builer’s and he said that his Bruns wick team was ready and willing to make a match with Fernandina. provided that Butler post a forfeit immediately. It is more than likely that this series of sl.ooo between Brunswick and Fernandina will he arranged, and it is to be hoped that the games will be played in Savan nah, and if a large crowd is out at the game to-day, it would, in all probability, induce the managers of those teams to pull the games ofT here. Mr. Hirscb received several telegrams from Brunswick congratulating him on winning from Jacksonville and a large • rowd of Brunswick rooter* will most likely come up to see the game this after nobn. Chue Hall, alias Joe, the chief rooter of the Brunswick team, and, according to the Brunswick boys, the only Americanized Chinaman in this country, who was v?n avo Ida hi y detained from coming up to see the game yesterday, will most likely be on hand at to-day’s game. He will have his cowbells, horn and yellow dog, Sou Joe, with him. Allen of the Virginia State League will be here this morning and will pitch for Jacksonville In this afternoon’s game. Kaphan will pitch for Brunswick. The gam** is expected to be a pitchers’ battle, as was the case yesterday. BRUNSWICK GONE WILD. Large Delegation off the Rooter* Ex pected Here To-day. The following special from Brunswick W’as received by the Morning News last night: Brunswick.

Gilbert, a celebrated railroad architect of New York, will ar rive in Savannah Monday, it is expected, to make a preliminary plan of the union station. This does not mean that the final plans may be drawn by Mr. Gilbert, but it Is possible that such will be the case. The company may decide, after seeing Mr. Gilbert’s preliminary plan, to adver tise for plans. Mr. Gilbert was called South to design buildings for the Charleston exposition buildings. The people of that city are making elaborate preparations for the af fair, and the services of one of the lead ing architects were regarded as necessary to niure satisfaction with the bui'dlngs. The charter ask'd from the state by the Savannah Union Station has not yet be’ti granted. The adver.isement must run un til Aug. 15, when the charter wt 1 be granted. The company will then be or ganized. BTIDBSTS BUILDING WELL. They Are Mnklnx Good Pronrfan Up on the New Dormitory. The students of the Georgia State Col lege for Colored Youths at Thunderbolt are progressing well in their work upon the new dormitory. Their labors are be ing directed by Prof. Thompson, who Is In charge of the carpentry branch of the institution, though Mr. H. W. Wltcover. architect, exercises general supervision over the building. The dormitory, when completed, will be quite the most pretentious building on the campus. It will com:re favorably with l he buildings of some of the leading in stitutions of learning. Its dimensions will b> such as to relieve the need for room that the college had felt for several ytars and it Is expected that more students and greater prosperity will follow the greater advantages that can be ofTered.

Corcoran has 'liis admirers, and one of them has backed him, even, for a hundred. That’s the biggest bet that has yet been recorded, but there Is time enough yet for the interest and enthu siasm to mount up. Pete Manzie has had the gloves on with Pearce, and he says the man from Louis ville knows the game Such talks as Man sle's, together with the erack-a-Jack look Pearce has with him. make It seem that Pearce has a good show for the decision, and s;tne of the sports believe they have a chance to double their wads by putting them on the Louisville man. It Is proba ble odds will be ofTered on Pearoe before the fight Is pulled off. Do you like a dry Champagne? Try Cooks Imperial Extra Dry; Its flavor Is umlvalled and It Is perfectly pure.-ad. LOEB AND HALL OLD HANDS. BELIEVED TO HUH A FESTB IV ST. PAIL, MIX*. PrlHnrr. lVnntrd in Montgomery, Ala., anil Elufnlirrr—Believed to Have Got In n \omber of Jobs Tbronxhont the Sooth Glove. Stolen Prom Frank A Cos. Shipped to St. Paul—Hen Remanded to Su perior Court on Charge of Grand Larceny. The suspicion that Loeb and Hall are experienced and expert swindlers, and that they are wanted In other places for work similar to that they did here, was confirmed yesterdauy by a telegram from the chief of police In Montgomery to Su perintendent of Police Screven, in which it is 6tated that the men are wanted In that city. The telegram did not go into the details of the job, or jobs, for which they are wanted, but is so worded as to lead to the belief that the game was practically the same as that worked here. The further inference from the telegram is that the men belong to an organized gang of thieves who have been plying their trade in the cities of the West and the South, and that they have their headquarters, and a fence through which they dispose of the swag, in St. Paul, Minn. The keeper of this fence is named Wm. Cohn, or at least that is the name to which the gloves stolen from Messrs. Frank & Cos. were expressed, and as the same name is mentioned in the telegram from Montgomery the natural Inference is that it Is to this man thet all, or the greater part of the swag has been sent. The Montgomery authorities ask that pictures and measurements of the men be sent them. This will be done to-day, and like information will also be furnished the pollcte authorities in Kansas City, New Orleans, where the men claim to come from, and St. Paul. A telegram giving the facts of the case was sent the police authorities of St. Paul by Sup*. Screven. It Is quite likeiy that upon this Information Cohn will be arrested and his place searched, when startling developments may be made. When the shipment of the gloves from this city was discovered and the men ask ed about Cohn, they said that he was an innocent party, though they did not at tempt to explain the arrangement that existed between him and them, relative to the disposition of the goods, or the recompense that they were to receive for them. Supt. Screven, through the Express Company authorities, has stopped the delivery of the gloves, and they will be returned to this city probably within a day or so. Through checking up their stock, Messrs. Frank & Cos., are enabled to say just how many gloves were taken, and by weighing an equal number and comparing the result with the weight of the express package as registered in the express office, they feel certain that all of their goods are in the one package, and consequently will be recovered. There was a rumor about the street yes terday to the effect that the men had worked, or tried to work, one of their schemes In Thomasville, but the report could not be confirmed. Loeb and Hall were given a preliminary examination yes terday morning before Recorder Hartridge. They talked but little, admitted only such facts as they could not deny because self evident, and were generally non-commit tal. They were remanded to the Superior Corut on the charge of grand larceny. Mr. D. Hecht of Messrs. Frank & Cos. has been summoned to appear before the Grand Jury Tuesday to give evidence rel ative to the. case. He says it Is the inten tion of the firm to push the case to the ut most limit of the law. There were ten prisoners before the Re corder yesterday, but few of the cases were of interest. Loeb and Hall, the swindlers, were ex amined. but no new facts brought out, and they were remanded to the City Court on charges of simple larceny. March Mcßride, the colored man who became obstreperous in the Central depot and was Bent tn by Officer Connelly after a fight, was remanded to the City Court on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. The police were kept busy yesterday some fifteen prisoners being sent in up to midnight Sam Fields, colored, was arrested by Patrolman Collins on the charge of throw ing rocks and beating- Eddie Stark, the son of City Detective Julius Stark. Lymus Middleton, colored, was arrestei by Patrolman Tullis on the charge of stealing furnhure from Emma'Vliddleton, who prefers the charge. Ella Brown, Lavinia Grayson, Mary Hamilton and 'Ella Wright, four colored women, were sent in by Patrolman Col lins at the request of Joseph Green, who asserts that they robbed him of $lB. Rachel Weber, Stella Gibron, end Annie Whitfield, three colored girls about ten years old each, were arrested by Detec tive J. J. Murphy at ihe request of Mr, J. D. Joel, who charges them with the theft of a pair of trousers from his store. Mike Welch and Annie White, both white, weie sent In by Patrolman Stafford for having a brawl in a house on Arnold street. The other arrests were of minor import ance. UPON THE CHILDREN'S ESTATE. Letters of Gnardlanslilp Granted to Col. Jordan F. Brooks. In the Court of Ordinary yesterday tem porary letters of guardianship upon the estate of Alice Agoos and others, minors, were granted to Jordan F. Brooks. At the same time Col. Brooks filed an application for permanent letters of guardianship up on the same estate.
