/ am confident that within n few days
cooler heads and better judgment will
control and that necessary business may
be conducted under proper restrictions .
Referring TO the number OF dispatches
received during the day from various
points along the southern line Mr.. JEFF
FREY said
Ballard county. Ky. opposite Cairo,
H.. has modified the quarantine so as to
permit engines and trains to run into
East Cairo the same as heretofore, thus
enabling the railroad company to run
trains between last Cairo and Jackson.
Tenn, l05 miles, although at nearly all
intermediate stations local guarantees
forbid the stoppnge OF trains. Between
Jackson, Tenn, and Canton, Miss, pa
miles, two or three stations have modi-
fled the quarantine regulations to the
extent OF permitting trains to stop pro-
vided there is rigid inspection by the
proper authorities. There are no cases
of fever outside OF Jackson, Miss, upon
900 miles of railroad controlled by the
Illinois Central south of Cairo, nor is
there a case on the Mobile and Ohio rail
road between Cairo and Mobile, aud it
may be taken as an absolute fact at this
time that there is not a case of yellow-fe-
yer IN the lower Mississippi Valley outside
of Jackson, Miss, and its vicinity. Yes,
shotguns are still IN use. but we have
heard OF no shooting since the tragedy
at Durant."

stopped, business has gone on as usual,
