The Latest News from There-Four or
Five New Cases.

special Dispatch 90 The Appeal.
TUscUMBlA, Ala, Sept. 20.-The most re-
liable report from Decatur at 1880 o'clock
tonight is TO the effect that there are now
four or five cases of yellow fever there and
as many more suspected eases, with one
death tonight DIR. Bowman, who attended
Spencer the man who was first stricken
with II, is said tonight TO he getting we'll.
The information from Decatur is very
meager. The doctors there now say there
is no use trying longer TO believe that II is
not epidemic, but say they have hard fight
before them. II is estimated that fully 1900
people have fled from the city In the past
twenty-lour hours, walking riding and get
ting away in every way that they could cm-
ploy or devise. The train men coming in
from toward Decatur this evening said
the whole line of road was lined
with foot passengers, many of them
not carrying even a bundle while Others
had valises and bundles swung over their
shoulders on sticks. The country people
along the road are bosciged with refugees
begging piteously TO be taken in, and offer
ing amy amount of money for shelter. The
feeling along the road is panicky, a number
of the towns and counties QuArantning
against trains in both directions, not
allowing them % stop. Among the
number is Grand Junction. No train in
either direction will be allowed 10 stop at
Germantown. No westbound train will be
allowed 10 stop at Corinth. No train is al.
lowed 10 stop tonight pending the action Of
the local board Of health. In Tishomingo
county, Miss, in which is situated
lukn, no wost-bound train will be
allowed TO stop, and all the smaller towns
have the same rigid quarantine.
Huntsville tonight quarsntincd against
Decatur, which was a surprise ~ the city has
been inviting refugees 20 her doors. No words
could give a description TO the gloom which
has settled upon our own city The streets
now are crowded with anxious groups talk.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Sept, Glowing to the
sickness of DR.. Bowman and another gentle
man Of Decatur who waited on Spencer and
who have, ii is said yellow fever symptoms,

Memphis and other cities would do so
against her, because Of her close proximity
to Decatur, and refugees coming here. The
directors of the Fair association also decided
late this afternoon, 10 hold no fair ON the
9th Of October on account OF yellow fever and
the excitement in the surrounding country.
