Carrabella, and Apalachicola quarantined
against that place. They also refused to allow
the brig to have any communication with the
town. Guards were placed on the water front
to prevent the approach of vessels which re-
fused to recognize the health officers A

the guards aud required to return to the quar-
antine station. The brig was also ordered to
leave the pass. At the time the Everingham

mills at Apalachicola have contracts for fur
nishing crosstits for railroads in Mexico They
are shipped TO Galveston, Texas, and Vera

represented as having as many orders as they
can fill.
