GOING BACK TO JACKSONVILLE
Mr.. E. A. Chsmplain of jacksonville
passed through Savannah yesterday en-
route for his home. He left Jacksonville
Aug. IS with his family. and after seeing
them safely provided for in Gainesville Ga,
set out on his return and proposes to share
the dangers OF the epidemic with his fellow
citizens.
Mr.. Chsnnnlain was formerly in the en-
ploy OF the Southern Express Company in
this city, but Tor the past tie years has been
carrying on very successful business in
Tampa and jacksonville He has passed
through epicernics in Charlest n, Tampa
and this city, and has no fear Of facing yell
low fever in jacksonville.
KEEPING UP THE QUARANTINE
There is no abatement OF the vigilance in
gu irantine circles. Not day u .s~es that
from two to three reiu gees from Camp
Perry are not halted at Souihover Ju ction,
refused admittance to Savannah and sent
on. Among the first refugees 10 be Dis
charged from the camp were a gentleman
and his wife, who wanted 10 come into the
city and take ocean pa sage to New York
The city authorities refused TO receive them
but made up the difference in price and
bought them railroad tickets 10 New York
They live in Portsmouth, n. H., and hau
been to Jack Onvilie for their health.

were watched like hawks all the
way to Washington, by inspectors along
the line, and when they reached Washing
ton one of Surge n General Hamilton's in
spectors kept close surveillance over them

reaching Brooklyn, land out of the way of

GOT HERE TOO SOON.
A. w. Lawton, traveller for the Savannah
Guano Company, came up day or two ag
from Tampa. He stopped up the Savannah
river and yesterday morning he
came down on the Ethel. Inspector
Rasch saw him at the Marshall house an hour
later and took him before the MAYOR
When he learned that he had come into the
city day too soon, Lawton wanted to re-
turned up the river and stay the required
tire, but Mayor Lester thought best to send
nllll 10 tHo pest mousse.
The quarantine authorities are keeping q
sharp lookout, and the impression created
by the statements of few people who have
run the gauntlet Of the inspectors, and who
CLAIM to have got in without
having shown their certificates,
that the quarantine is lax, the authorities
say, is an erroneous one.
WATCHING EVERY POINT.
Every point is clo-ely watched, and the
inspectors are under strict orders to allow
no one to enter the city whom they have any
reason to believe has been in the infected
territory. An inspector has been put on
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way to run between Savannah and Jesup,
and to watch the Ogeechee river bridge and
intercept tramps and negroes who are likely
TO come IN that way. Supervisor Sheldon
has got the service so systematized that
there is very little chance for refugees to
get into Savannah and il they do thew are
not long in finding out what kind of place
the lazaretto is.
