WHAT THE FFVER18 DOING.
JacksonvUle shows only sixteen
new cases yesterday, and three
deaths. The total number of cases
to date have been 4,059, and total
deaths 348.
Bishop Weed is improving, and is
now considered out of danger.
The schooner Nettie Langdon is
unloading a cargoof coal in Jackson
ville. This is the first vessel in two
months. She.wiU carry lumber, pis
Baldwin is how on the list, and
the mail will probably be sent by an- shoes that he had taken off on com
other route.
The Jacksonville correspondent of
the Savannah' News has received
from Connecticut a car load of apples
for distribution among the convales-
onts,.
Enterprise still has cases of fever,
bntno deaths.
Sanford denies having any fever.
Ferhandina reported seventeen new
cases yesterday.
Decatur has no, new cases or
deaths, but is in the greatest need of
help. The Mayor appeals moBt ur
gently to the public.
ing home late Saturday night These
he took out on the back poreli,search
ed them carefully for filthy lucre, and
finding none, threw them down and
went away disgusted. In view of his
consideration in not carrying off that
fat Snnday dinner goose, Mr. K says
toe can inform him that if he returns
next Saturday night be may find a
pice lunch spread on that same table
and a fine Havana to taper ofi on.
We despise the chronic grumbler,
but being a newspaper man to whom
the public continually come to have
its wrongs righted, \ve often appear
in that light. Oti* attention has
.been palled within the last 34 hours
gr’tb tne condition of our - gas lights
f. along our Btreets. The lamp at the
corner of Union and George streets
is not lit more than half Of the time,
loes hol remain lit, and it was not
burning.last night The one at the
corner of Union and Mansfield last
night gave about two candle power.
Some others burned brighter, but all
that we sgw had a sickly look, and
needed attention.' Unless something
is done to remedy this evil somebody
will lay on an injunction on the city
for paying for laid lights, and then
there will be another law suit. We
are paying a good price for'gas and
ought to have the value of our money.
We learn that some of the Aldermen
aro getting worked up on this sub
ject, so we may loqk but for a dash
at the contractors when the Council
next meets.
More Churches.
Rev. A. G. P. Dodge has placed
with Cook Bros. d^jgCo., orders for
lumber for three buildings, two
churohes and a Rectory, all of which
will be put up in Brunswick. One
of the churohes will be a mission
church for the whites in the upper
end of town, the other edifice and the
Rectory will be located at the corner
of Monk and Albany streets, adjacent
to the present St. Athanasius school
building. These buildings will be
erected by Mr. Dodge out of funds
in his possesion for that purpose..
He has mapped out a big work in
this seacoast section, all of which
will bounder his immediate super
vision- His whole heart seems to be
in this mission work, which he is
pushing vigorously forward.

If square rigged vessels be an in

snrely doing something in that line.
There are sixteen of those crafts
now lying in our sound, ready to

That Gentlemanly Burglar.
The recent capturing nnd killing
of burglars has not yet gotten the
entire force. 'The gentlemanly bur

large. He visited Mr. Mtchaelis
Kaiser’s residence last Saturday
night, prssed right by a nice, fat, un

of silver-ware, ransacked a number
of fonoy boxes up stairs containing

of every good citizen to work to this
