The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-10-03


feople were wonderfully attached to the
bright evening paper, and when it sus-
pended they felt exceedingly sorry, but its
temperance has caused much pleasure,
and the enterprise and gurption of Messrs
Carter, Russell and Douglass is spoken of
highly.
ANOTHER BRIGHT DAY.
This has been another bright day, both
overhead and in the hearts of the people
not altogether bright, either, for there was
widespread sadness over the death of
Cashier Baker, a universal favorite and
man of great business capacity and of un-
lmpeacnible business integrity. His funeral
this noon was attended by a dozen of
his staunch friends. Bishop Weed read
the impressive burial services. Not a
dry eve was visible in the room
as he concluded 1t is horrible to think of,
and see the remains of those loved and
revered 'railroaded" to the grave, with
not friend present to drop a sympathetic
tear on the lonely resting place. This is
one of the horrible features of the dread
scourge-avoided when sick, and hastily
buried when scarcely cold in death.
The feeling is that the worst is over, and
the people have been depressed so long that
the slightest improvement is quickly noted
and cherished.
BANDED FOR FUTURE EPIDEMICS.
Thirteen of the volunteer doctors COM
prising DR.. Porter's medical bureau at
present in the city last night met, and or
ganized society for the purpose of band
ing themselves together, and pledging that
in future epidemics this society, composed
Of these doctors, will go in body to the
stricken place. The doctors have not
vet determined on a name, but they
elected DR.. j. Y. Porter, presiden; DR..
BroaduS of st. Louis, first vice president;
DR.. Sheftall of Savannah, second vice
president; DIR. Strauz of Palatka, secretary,
and DIR. Carr of Cincinnati, corresponding
secretary. The doctors also elected Surgeon
General Hamilton, DR.. Neal Mitchell and
the medical members of the Jacksonville
board of health and Drs. Fernandez, Stolen
werck and Sollace Mitchell as honorary
members The society was also formed so
that the members might keep track of each
other in the future, as they have all formed
warm friendships since they have begun
their work here
TEMPLES MILLS REPORTED INFECTED.
DIR. j. Y. Porter received dispatch this
morning from DR.. Tate Powell of Starke,
Fla. stating that an expert was needed at
Temples Mills, a station on the Florida rail-
road and Navigation Companys line near
Starke, to examine the condition of s.
Temple, proprietor of the mills, as it was
believed that he had yellow fever. DIR.
Porter concluded that he would go if he
could get an engine, and notified President
Mitchell to that effect. The citizens asso-
citation subsequently authorized the
charterlng of a locomotive. -. but kilograms
from small towns along the line notified
Dr. Porter that the quarantine regulations
forbade the passing of trains from jackson
vile even at full speed. DR.. Porter was
debating the best course to pursue when an
other telegram from DR.. Powell notified
him that his presence was not deemed
necessary. The journey was, therefore,
abandoned.
President Neal Mitchell received to-day
a dispatch from the president of the board
of health of New Orleans, requesting that
all the Red Cross nurses be sent back via
Tampa as soon as Jacksonville no longer
needed their services
HIS DYING WISH UNGRATIFIED.
IL Is said that Mr.. Tucker, who died yes
terday, begged and prayed for several hours
before his death that he might once more
see his wife and child before he expired.
He sank to rest without having this wish
gratified, as the wife and babe were far
from him.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mrs. II.
j. Ingram and her four little boys in the
loss of the husband and father, James f.
Ingram, whose death occurred at their
country home at Greenland, twelve miles
south of this city. The mother and one son
are now prostrated with fever in the city.
Mrs. Ingram is one of the most popular and
efficient of the public school teachers and a
writer of considerable ability.
Col. Frank K. Osborne, manager of the
Southern Express company's office here,
never loses his cheerfulness, and he can
make fever convalescent forget his pains
by five minutes talk. The colonel in quiet
way has recently been dispensing charity to
some of the worthy poor and destitute of
the city, which is much appreciated. Relief
minus the red tape formula is the kind that
reaches the heart of the people.
THE KEGS RUN DRY.
Yellow fever seems to have killed out
lager beer in the city, and the next thing to
it is bottled beer, and those who never
drank it before drink it now as substitute
for the foaming lager.
The passengers for Camp Perry yesterday
we're Mrs. H. A. LEngle and four children,
| James +. Smith, W. w. Frasier, Anotine
Jeminez and wife, August Hoffman, and

| His name IS Charles Blankenstein.
There are now only about eight members
| of the G. A. r. in the city. but they are by
no means idle. Between 5000 and S400
have been expended by them SO far for the
benefit of their sick and suffering COM
rades.
The receipts from contributions to-day
were sll ,462.
| EDITOR MARTIN SICK.
Edwin Martin of the Times Union left
his Office tonight at 6 o'clock and went
home sick. He has no symptoms of fever,
but il suffering from prostration conse-
| ouent upon the constant strain of managing
| the paper for the past two months under
almost insurmountable difficulties. 1t Is
hoped that perfect quiet for day
or two will restore hsn to health.
This leaves all the burden of the work on
f. w. Hawthorne, the associate editor, who
has been doing good work and double duty
since City Editor Bowden resigned. Mr..
Hawthorne is one of Florida's best journal
lists. and this shows his mettle.
Mrs. G. ID. Davis, a nurse from Philadel-
phia, was taken sick tonight.
There are rumors tonight OF trouble
among the negroes on account OF free re-
lief being shut off Oct. 9, but nothing def
mite can be ascertained.
At the meeting Of the executive commit
tee to-day Rev. Bishop Weed, Of the relief
committee, reported that the number of
rations tickets was being rapidly decreased
and all abuses ferreted out and corrected as
fast as consistent with maintaining the good
