county quarantine having been raised
yesterday, refugees on that side now
come to the middle of Pearl river
bridge, where they are halted by an
armed guard and barbed wire.
There were large number there this
morning, many of them ANXIOUS to

not safe they promised to exercise
patience few days more. So impor-
tunate the demand Of the abs entees
Drs. Johnston and Hunter issued the
following to-day;
JACKSON, Mss, Oct. 8.
AS many of our citizens are anxious
to return to their homes we desire to
say to them, that in our opinion it is
not YET safe to do so. There are four
yellow fever patients still confined to
their rooms, one Of them being near
the depot of the Illinois Central Rail-
road, in consequence of which the
work of disinfeetion Is not completed
We're this merely local matter we
might yield to the pressure, but having
| in view the welfare of the entire State
, we feel constrained to continue the
quarantine restrictions for few days
longer. Public notice will be giver
when 1t is deemed prudent to remove
the restrictions. tS

BANK COMMISSIONERS.

The Hon, c. H Noble, of New Milford.
and the Hon. ]. VI. Carpenter, OF Norwich,
Connecticut, bank commissioners for their
state, are in the city looking after business
matters. They are looking over the bust
ness OF the loan companies in the city in
order TO see if they are worthy OF
doing business in their state They
have male careful survey of
the various companies in the
city, and one of them las, evening was
heard to remark that he was very much
pleased with the conservative manner in
which the Wichita companies are doing
business. He was led TO believe that the
reports current east that the west does
business in a wild and reckless way was
false, especially Is it untrue ia regard to
Wichita. The conservatism and thorough
business manner in which the loan com
panies in Wichita were doing business.
would be credit 10 any company Of like
character in New England He spoke in
very complimentary terms OF all the loan
companies in the city and could see no
reason for hesitating to allow Wichita
companies 10 do business in their state
The commissioners have been spending
some months on the Pacific coast and are
now enroute for home. They are promi-
nent fnanciers il their state and promise
to speak a good word for Wichita on re-
turning home

FOUNTAINS.

Councilman johnson is receiving the
congratulations of friends on his fountain
scheme As the fountains are being put
in place the public seem more and more TO
see the need OF such an improvement and
wonder how il was that some city pap had
not reached that idea long before il ap-
peared The Third ward fountain was
located yesterday on North Fourth avenue
about Seventy-iive feet from Douglas and
is now ready for use The First ward IS
represented on South Market street about
one hundred feet from Douglas, which
will be of service to the cold water
public who in coming years will
have have occasion to visit the govern
ment building. Work on putting this one
in position was being done yesterday and
it will probably be completed today. The
Fifth ward viii have their fountain on
South Seneca, near Douglas 1t was
claimed by some that the Second and
Fourth wards would locate theirs on
Second, near the Occidental, while others
claimed they were working hard to have
it near the public square and As yet the
question OF location is UNDETERMINED
Arrangements have been made with the
water company to supply the fountains
with no additional cost to the city. The
original ordinance calls for supply for
the two fountains free and the council had
suspicious that some cost " ,uld be added
on the other two The surprise was a very
agreeable one and elected from some MEM
beers of the council kindly words for the
water company.

The location Of the haymarket will prob
ably be determined AT the next council
meeting. 4 number of bids have already
been submitted IN response TO an adver
tisement by the council desiring sueh in
order TO have change in the market.
Some of the council seem 10 think one
market occupying an entire block will not
afford the desired accommodation. II
seems TO be the opinion Of some that the
West Side should have a market As well as
the east, accommodating the west side
farmers as well as the east side.
