sTOPPAGE OF TRAINS.
Threats of Destroying the Tracks and
Burning Bridges.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The postofiice
department this afternoon received a tele-
gram from postal official, dated Atlanta
to-day, stating that no trains are running
between Memphis and New Orleans except
accommodation trains; none between New
Orleans and Wilson, La, nor between
Natchez, Meridian and Shreveport,
Meridian and New Orleans, Cairo
and Mobile, Aberdeen and Durant,
Selma and Meridian, Chattanooga and Mer-
idian, except short train between Bir-
mingham and Tuscaloosa.
Another dispatch states:
No new cases OF yellow fever or deaths have
occurred at jackson to-day, but this fact does
not seem to abate the excitement In the least.
There are no trains running between Selma and
Meridian and Montgomery and Akron. A fumi-
CATION station has been established at Decatur.
No station can as yet be placed at Jackson
as the neighborng towns threaten If the mail,
or anything else fumigated or not, is taken on
at or near Jackson, they will tear up the track
and burn the bridges. Arrangements have
been made to establish a station at Jackson as
soon as the excitement subsidies. There are
slight evidences of reaction. Business men be-
gin to feel the pressure and are commencing to
resist the mob element
MIR. KINGS EXPERIENCE.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 25.--E. 2. King, of
the railway mail service, returned last
night from flying trip to New Orleans,
where he went to see about having fumi-
eating car built and fitted up for n fumi-
eating station at jackson, Miss. Mr.. King
says the whole country is blocked by a shot
gun quarantine The people refuse mail of
every kind from jackson, whether fumi-
gated or not. They have resolved them
selves into n mob, and threaten TO
do violence where any effort is
made to do things not according to
their idea of arbitrary quarantine He
found that it was impossible to establish a
fumigating station at jackson. The people
do not ant the mails to go out of jackson,
whether fumigated or not, and it would be
dangerous to attempt to send them out. Mr..
King gave up the idea of establishing a fu-
migation station, and devoted his attention
to an effort to straighten out the mail serv-
ice. This is nearly impossible under the
present state of affairs. There is no excite
meut in New Orleans, Mr.. King said, and
the people do not seem to think there is any
danger of that city being ransacked by the
dire disease. Mr.. King says he is glad to
get back, and breathes easier since he re-
turned to Atlanta,

MEMPHIS OVER HER FRIGHT.
The People More Confident that the
Disease will Not Spread.

Disease will Not Spread.
MEMPHIS, Sept. 25.-The scare is over
and the panicky feeling of the past four days
has given way to more rational view of
the situation. Many of those who were
most alarmed are now confident that there
will be no further spread of the fever from
either Decatur, Ala, or jackson, Miss.
The exodus from this city has ceased, and
some VINO were the first to leave are now
applying for passes to return.
At meeting of the advisory committee
of the cotton and merchants exchanges,
held to-day, resolution was adopted re-
questlng the board of health TO rescind
their order enforcing quarantine regulations
against railroads ON the west side of the
Mississippi river. which was to go into effect
tonight at 10 o'clock. The weather is quite
cool, and light overcoats were in demand
last night and this morning.
The local board of health met in session
tonight and declined to modify the resolu-
ton placing all trains on the west side of
the river under strict non intercourse quar-
antine regulations, and therefore the same
law will apply to them as now governs
trains on the east side of the river.
SUSPICIOUS CASE.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon Drs. Williford
and Herring were called to attend Berry H.
Binford, resident of Memphis, but who
travels for Cincinnati coffee and spice
house. Mr.. Biuford bad chill this after
noon at o'clock, which was followed by a
high fever. The board ordered Mr.. Bin
ford removed at once to the yellow fever
ward at the city hospital.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-In reply to a
telegram from the surgeon general, asking
the cause of the panic in Memphis, DIR. G.
b. Thornton telegraphed as follows:
No Just occasion-sensatioDal publications In

FERNANDINA DENOUNCED.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Sept. 25.-There
have been about u dozen deaths in Fernan-
dina during the past two weeks. Stephen

as was alleged, of gastric fever; L. B.

died OF typho-malarial fever, and several
colored persons, among them s. b. Payne,
principal of the colored school. Last Fri
day the Nassau county board of health
denounced the reports of yellow
fever in Fernandina as untrue,
DR.. Palmer not agreeing to the statement
but being outvoted six to one, and the
mayor and other prominent officials and
citizens Endorsed the denial. 1t was only
yesterday, when it became known that the
town would be inspected by a marine
hospital surgeon, that the presence OF yellow
fever was acknowledged. The fact of the
fever outbreak was conceded by the officials
for a month, it being an open secret in
Fernandina, and many having quietly left
the place. The action of the Nassau county
board is severely censured and considered
an inexcusable outrage ON other points in
the state, such as Gainesville, that have
been in communication with thai town, and
is i'll striking contrast with the publication
of the first suspicious case that came to

cHATTANooGA's PASSING CLOUDS
Resumption OF Traffic Permitted az the
Scare Decreases.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Sept. 25-Rail-
road traffic is being resumed, the quaran-
tine regulations here and at other points
south OF here having to-day been so inodi-
fed as TO permit trains TO pass through from
Cincinnati TO New Orleans by way of
Chattanooga, Birmingham and Meridian.
Trains from Memphis to Chattanooga are
also permitted, the railroad authorities
pledging themselves not to stop within the
county in which Decatur is
located. The trains of all the other
various systems centering here are running
as usual. kilograms to the Times from
numerous points in the south indicate that
much more hopeful feeling is prevailing,
and that the panic is subsidlng. There was
light frost on the mountains adjacent TO
Chattanooga this morning. The weather is
delightfully."- cool, and jack frost is daily
expected TO supplant dreaded yellow jack.

CESSATION OF TRAFFIC.
The Business of the Illinois Central
Badly Crippled.

badly Crlppled-
CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-''How far on your
road can you do business without Interrupt
tionF" was asked of General Manager JEFF
frey of the Illinois Central last evening.
"Our whole business is interrupted, al
most disrupted, at the present time, but
hope for better things very soon. / am
confident that within a few days cooler
heads and better judgment will control, and
that the necessary business may be con-
Quoted under proper restrictions"
Referring to the number of dispatches
received during the day from various points
along the southern line, Mr.. Jeffrey said,
Ballard county, Kentucky, opposite Cairo,
Ill, has modified its quarantine 80 as to
permit engines and trains TO run into East
Cairo the same as heretofore, thus enabling
the railroad company to run trains between
East Cairo and Jackson, Tenn, 105 miles,
although at nearly all the intermediate sta
tions local quarantines forbid the stoppage
of trains"
BEGINNING OF THE THAw
"Between Jackson, Tenn, and Canton,
Miss, PA miles. two or three stations have
modified their quarantine regulations to the
extent of permitting trains to stop, pro-
yided there is rigid inspection by the
proper authorities. There arc no cases of
fever outside Of jackson, Miss, upon the
nois Central south of Cairo, nor Is there
case on the Mobile and Ohio road between
Cairo and Mobile, and it may be taken as
an absolute fact at this time that there is
not single case Of yellow fever in the
lower Mississippi valley, outside of Jack
son, Miss, and its vicinity.
"Yes, shotguns are still in use, but we
have heard Of no shooting since the tragedy
at Durant."
WHOLE DIVISIONS ABANDONED.
The Illinois Central Company has aban-
doned all trains on its Aberdeen branch,
which extends from Durant northeast to
Aberdeen, a distance of 106 miles. 1t has
branch lines in the Yazoo delta. Asstrong
local quarantine compelled this course.
Ex-Gov. Reed of Florida, who is In the
city, has started local movement to aid
the fever stricken districts. A call is issued
for meeting OF all citizens of Florida now
in Chicago, to be held tomorrow, to organ
ize for work In that direction.
FREIGHT REFUSED.
The quarantine restrictions on account of
yellow fever IN the south compelled the
Illinois Central Company to-day to issue
notice TO shippers, setting forth that the
road cannot receive or forward freight for
