THE YELLOW FEVER.
Sunday,was a typical autumnal day for
Florida, a cloudless sky and a cool brac
ing atmosphere. Overcoats were in de
mand, and convalescents were forced to
remain in doors by open fires. The mer
cury fell lower than at any time this sea
son so far. This weathir is very bad for
the patients and convalescents, and al
though cool, it does not, in the opinion
of physicians, lessen the chances of tak
ing yellow fever. Dr. Kenworthy, of
Jacksonville, ' said: “Nothing but a
frost will kill it. Just so long as there
is material for the disease to feed upon,
just so long will it continue, unless
checked by frost. Lavilla, Brooklyn and
Riverside, besides other suburban places,
have all been swept by the fever, and we
may now expect to see it cropping out at
points in populous portions of the city
hitherto not infected. The type is un
doubtedly milder, but the disease has got
to run itself out.” Dr. Porter received a
telegram from Surgeon General Ham
ilton bringing cheering news that ar
rangements will in all probability be per
fected, for permitting those who have had
the yellow fever and recovered from it,
as well as those who are now convales
cent, to leave the city for points North,
without spending ten days in quarantine
as heretofore. This will be welcome
news to hundreds of people who would
have left long before this, but for dread
of inconveniences and privations at Camp
Perry, Fernandina still persists in put
ting herself out from communication by
telegraph. A locomotive arrived in
Baldwin from that city, and brought from'
R. Cooley the following message, which
was wired from the latter point to Jack
sonville: “No new cases of yellow fever
to-day, and no deaths. Twenty-five cases
now under treatment. The situation
presents no alarming feature.. Nobody
wants to leave Fernandina. All who
wished to leave have gone. The only
apprehension is an outbreak from unem
ployed workmen. They are quiet up to
the present time, however. We need aid.
Jacksonville need have no fear of refu
gees from Fernandina attempting to
break through Duvall country’s quaran
tine in order to secure free rations.” Mr.
Cooley is cashier of the bank of Fernun
dina, and formerly resided in Jackson
ville. He may be relied upon as giving
an estimate of the situation as fairly as
any man can do, who is himself locked
up in this town at present. Many people
in Jacksonville were alarmed by rumors
of existence of small pox in the city, but
investigation proved the rumors to be en
tirely without foundation. In fact, it is
said to be in Fernandina, however,
but the report could not be
traced to any reliable source.
. An official circulaP was issued by Dr.
Wirt Johnson, the secretary of the state
Board of Health of Mississippi, advising
refugees not to return to Jackson until
the danger can be declared absolutely
past, which will also be officially an
nounced hereafter. The physicians are
unanimously agreed that all the cases
that were reported as yellow fever are in
reality such, and they are anxious lest
those persons who are doubtful, may
venture to return, hence the above wise
precaution.
The mails are allowed to go in as usual,
but non® of the anxious inquiries that
come from absentees can be answered ex
cept by telegraph. For ten days not a
letter has been allowed to leave Jackson
and the postolficc department
seems to have come to the conclusion that
a fever beseiged community has very few
rights it is bound to respect. This ab
rupt and unauthorized stoppage af com
munication with the outside world, is re
garded by the people as a cruel and in
tolerable grievance. Contrary to all ex
pectations, Chattanooga, Tenn., was vis
ited by a killing frost on Sunday morn
ing, the thermometer registering 87 1-2
degrees. Ben B. Grant, of Newark,
Ohio, a yellow' fever patient there, died
while attacked with black vomit. He
was superintendent of the Telephone
Company at Decatur, Ala. No more ref
ugees have come in. The weather is
frosty.

east of Calhoun, Mr. King was standing

deavoring to tighten some bolts with a
wrench; his foot slipped, he lost his bal
ance, and fell upon the saw. The power
ful steel teeth horribly mangled his arm,
and striking bis head, crushed the skull.
The teeth so deeply penetrated his body
that the machinery came to a complete
standstill. The workmen carried him
into a shanty near by, where he shortly
expired.

that an assignment was necessary. The
firm’s liabilities aggregate about $40,000.
Benjamin Debarry, died a most horri

passing along the public road, badly

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Five men were injured on the Georgia
Pacific Railroad on Monday. The acci
dent happened about two and one-half
miles west of Villa Rica, forty-one miles
from Atlanta. A short distance from
the station is a high trestle, which is
approached around a sharp curve. It
was upon this trestle that the accident
happened. Soon after the noon hour,
freight train number 03, moving towards
Atlanta, approached the trestle. Con
ductor Guess was in charge of the train,
with Engineer McNcw on the locomo
tive. Just before the train reached the
trestle the engineer reduced his.speed,
and the engine passed over all right. He
was in the act of putting on steam when
he discovered that something had occur
red, aud looking back he was horrified to
find that the caboose and two or three
cars had jumped the track and left the
wood work. The engine was quickly
stopped, and, with his fireman, Eugiueer
McNew went back to the cab. There he
found five persons groaning and insensi
ble. They were Conductor Guess, John
Nabors, Will Mosby, colored; W. P.
Brown, J. P. New. Most of them are
thought to be fatally hurt.
ABOUT COTTON,
The speculation in cotton for future
delivery has been only moderately active
for the week, with a feverish, unsettled
tone, and figjquent though rather narrow
fluctuations in values. There was a
sharp advance in the Liverpool market,
notwithstanding the adoption of a
“short-time” policy by a majority of the
Lancashire spinners. The weather in the
South has become favorable to the ma
turing and gathering of the crop, but the
spread of the yellow fever into towns of
Alabama and Mississippi threw the peo
ple of whole districts into a panic, and
led to such rigid local quarantines that
railroad transportation was nearly sus
pended. Tiie alarm appeared to have
measurably subsided, the weather having
turned cool and bracing, and railroad
officials were encouraged to make efforts
to start trains. The weather has been
quite favorable, and picking is making
good progress. lue movement of the
crop, However, is retarded by the refusal
of many planters to use jute bagging at
present prices, and by the quarantine
regulations at many points.
