PECULIAR CASE.
negro was taken suddenly i'll Tuesday
afternoon at South Jacksonville. DrS
Borroughs and Ken worthy were called
and found him with q high temperature and
every symptom of the fever. He continued
to grow worse through the night and yes
terday morning, his death was considered
imminent. A peculiar feature of
the case was the constant
rise IN the patients temperature. At
o'clock Yesterday afternoon his tempara-
ture was 1.0'. At o'clock he died. This
temperature is the highest yet recorded in
case Of yellow fever. An autopsy was
ordered and DR.. Gibier, the famous Paris
scientist, conducted the examination. The
condition of the kidneys plainly showed a
typical case of fever. DR.. Gibier secured
some of the intestine fluids and will search
them for the existence Of yellow fever
germs or microbes.
None of the volunteer visiting physicians
will be employed hereafter
ARRIVAL OF THE OZEAMA.
The steamship Ozeama of the Clyde line
arrived at Mayport yesterday. She brings
full passenger list, and many Jacksonville
people are said to be among the number.
Rumors to the effect that these people would
seek entry into Jacksonville were rife upon
the streets Tuesday. Alderman Wiggins
said that if any did SO they would at once
be arrested and sent away again.
There was great excitement on Bay street
this morning over a runor that all the pas
songers from the CLYDE steamship Ozama.
which had arrived at Mayport yesterday,
tad landed i'll Jacksonville and were even
now in the city. Everybody was much
alarmed, and predictions were heard on all
sides that yellow fever would now be in
town all winter, having this new material
to feed on. Indignant threats against the

any of the passengers come into view the
chances are thtt they would have been
m,bbed. But all this racket was I'M
necessary, for the News correspondent soon
found out that the report was greatly ex-
agger2ted.
ONLY TWO CAME IN.
Only two passengers came from the
steamer, and they were w. H. Hazen and
wife, who arrived in the city on the steamer
Georgia, which took them off the Clyde
boat Hazen is a saloon-keeper. He was
found in Dr. Porter's Office with his wife
They were waiting to see the doctor and re-
port to him. They had run the blockade
In conversation with reporter Hazen said:
You know, my wife and myself remained
here several weeks after the epidemic was
declared, and both my wife and myself con-
tracted the disease, although we were never
reported by DR.. Leonard. who attended u.s.
I've were afraid of being sent to the
Sand Hills, which at that time was a much
detested place, and consequently begged
tho doctor to keep our cases quiet. Bu.
there are numbers of people IN town who
can corroborate our story. We left the
city, after we recovered, oa one Of the
special refugee trains to Hendersonville,
and finally got to New \ ork after number
less delays, from which point we came here
on the Clyde boatn

mere demanded my coming, and as l knew
would not furnish food for the fever
came In and have come right up here to re-
port to DR.. Porter, and believe that l will
pe treated justly"
How many Jacksonville people were on
board the steamer"
The only folks on the boat known to
Jacksonville people besides my wife and
myself, were Mr.. Stead, formerly the Clyde
company 5 agent here, who was en- route to
nyeS down there. All the other passen-
gers were English people going down to
hiSslmmee and South Florida points TO
sst,vue, and had their horses, dogs, etc., with
sIenl. They did not seem TO be alarmed
auout the fever, for they were to be trans
aerred from the Ozama TO the Governor
ouIerd, and transported up the river with
ouV landing on infected SOIL"
REFUGEES CRAZY TO RETURN.

Jumping on board and actually
i5HEed taking the fever. Still you have no

SVacs, lhey are sick and tired of New

gu oi.l we're 1t not that a few Of our well-to-do
o.N1ehs up there have loaned some families

tapped long ago. Already the steamer
