BISHOP WEED DOING WELL.
The following explains itself:
Bishop Weed has had a good day on the
lounge All the conditions are favorable for en-
early and rapid convalescence.
J. D. FERNANDEZ
The bishop was able TO eat little solid
food to-day. The superintendent of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
very kindly rendered Bishop Weed his
private car to transport him to Augusta as
soon as he should have sufficiently recovered
to permit of his removal. The bishop to-
day is far advanced on his way to recovery,
and he was up a short time and transferred
to another cot and a change OF clothing
made This offer to the bishop was on
account of his prominent position in eccle-
sastical circles and well known character
in and about Georgia. The tender has
caused considerable envy on the part OF
many private citizens here, and it seems
that most importunate and persistent efforts
have been made by many of them to secure
places in this car, and thus be permitted to
20 with him beyond the limits of quaran-
tine, and escape the detention which is re-
Quired of all. All their opportunities, Of
course, will he of no avail, as their de-
parture as proposed would not be permitted
BY the authorities, even should the parties
rendering this special favor be willing. One
doctor even volun eered to go with DR..
Fernandez as an assistant, ''or anything" ="
aid he, "even a bowl holder, if necessary"
Scores of people are very anxious to go
north, but Camp Perry detention is too
much for them.
FEVER AT CAMP MITCHELL.
Camp Mitchell was in a fever of excite
ment to-day over the fact that yellow fever
had appeared there. A man named Hoight
developed an unmistakable case of the
dread disease, and although the matter was
kept as quiet as possible it leaked out, and
naturally many of the refugees who had
gathered there were greatly alarmed. Those
frightened consist mainly of people who,
at the outbreak Of the fever, moved out in
the woods, and who remained in their iso-
lated retreats until the establishment of
Camp Mitchell, and then, believing that it
was safe retreat, they ventured there.
RETREAT CUT OFF.
1t is reported that all persons were noti-
fled that fine of $50 would be imposed on
camp and got away, and some of terrified
women and children there do not know
what to do. Jusv who issued this absurd
order it has been impossible to discover.
There is, Of course, no need for the people
there TO be so alarmed, as the sick man was
promptly removed to the hospital, which is
at the rear of the camp and which was re-
Gently finished. 1t is stated this evening
that Mrs. Marvin has had a relapse. This
makes two cases now at Camp Mitchell.
SOUTH JACKSONVILLE PATIENTS.
Dr. Donohoo of South Jacksonville says
he has the following yellow fever patients
OF that suburb now under his care: Miss
Kate Hendricks, Mrs. Z. J. Sickler, w. o.
Evans, Nels Nelson, Miss Ida Rogers, Mrs.
Mary Miller, c. Carmichael and Mrs. Dom
Drook. None of these are dangerously i'll.
SANITARY IMPROVEMENTS.
The members of the executive committee
oi tie Sanitary Association went to-day, al
the invitation of the sanitary committee OF
that association, to look at the work of i'm
pfoyement which has been carried forward
by them during the epidemic around and
through the city. The NEWS correspond
