DIR. FAIRLIE DEAD.
DR.. J. M. Fairlie, secretary of the Aux
ilary Association, died at 8 o'clock tonight
He was a native of Scotland and a resident
of Jacksonville since 1879. He had been sick
with the fever for nearly week, and was
already worn out with continuous watching
with the sick in his family.
Mrs. K. c. White, postmistress at Mus
keegan, Michigan who came down here to
attend to the patients among the
members of the G. A. R., left
to-day for Camp Perry. She wore the
medal of the organization and rendered her
services only to the members of that order
There has been no place in the city which
has presented so much activity and life of
late as the Travellers hotel, in which is es-

clans. Among the notable faces TO be seen
there attending to the duties imposed upon
him, which have been very arduous, is that
of NJ. Isaacson. He is a general favoTite,
and everyone who has come in contact with
him, or had any dealings with him. is
unanimous in the expression of esteem and
regard.
police arrangements, has received much
credit for his good work also.
NURSES READY To GO.
Many of the nurses are leaving, or are
about to do so. Mrs. Wilson of New Or
leans left to-day, and tomorrow several
others will leave. Miss st. Pierr of Wash
ington, of whom it may be mentioned that
she rendered her services gratuitousy, re-
fusing to receive any compensation, saying
that she came on an errand Of mercy and
humanity, contemplates leaving tomorrow
DR.. S. Mitchell gives her great praise.
The Misses Walsh Of Boston and Berry of
Philadelphia, nurses at the Sand II ills, will
also leave to morrow.
The patients are thinning out, and at the
Sand Hills hospital only sixteen remain,
and many of the wards have been closed.
This looks like the beginning Of the end.
A CASE AT PABLO.
Dr. Hy. Robinson, chairman of the COM
mittee of Duval county at large, of the
been residing at Pablo Beach, is reported
sick to-day. There is some fear expressed
that it may be yellow fever. The doctor
sent in a letter to-day to the sanitary asSo-
citation, requesting to be relieved of
certain duties imposed upon him
in connection with his committee,
Among other things desiring to be re-
lieved from the inspection or examination
of the condition of applicants for relief and
desiring that that duty be delegated to the
central relief committee
The resolutions passed by the committee
appointed by the joint conference Of the
Auxiliary Sanitary Association and the
board of trade relative to the designations
rendered by the visiting physicians to
Dr. Porter seems to give them perfect salts
faction. This action on their part was
prompted, as previously stated, by the pub
ication of an anonymous article in a daily
paper. The committee disavowed any con-
nection with the article in question, and
assured the visiting doctors that it in no
wise expressed their sentiments.
sANDERsoN AND MACCLENNY.
The reports from Macclenny and Sander
SON. through DR.. Kenworthy, who was dele
gated to go there, show that at Sanderson
there have been 25 cases and 2 deaths.
There are about 25 laboring mon there and
loO persons in need of assistance. A
requistion for supplies from the chairman
OF the relief committee in that place was
ordered honored to-day and the supplies
sent by special train. 1t was also proposed
to telegraph them to ascertain
their wants and Offering TO send
rrations for $50 persons for ten
days The mayor of Macclenny seemed
aggrieved as he said that he had informa-
ton that funds had been sent here intended
Tor their especial use which had never been
received. This the finance committee
deny, and the auxiliary committee stand
ready to supply any reasonable want if a
hst IS made oGt. They have already sent
$4,000 in cash and many supplies TO that
town, and have promptly responded to
every requisition for provisions.
ORANGE PARK ASKS AID.
Orange Park has also made application for
rehet, but inasmuch as the only expense
that town has incurred has been in main
'NN'-AA4E u kuuIu hAltL NA0 bONGIli-
ment on the assurance Of DR.. Porter will
pay for, it was decided not to respond, as
the fund contributed was intended solely
ior the relief OF yellow fever sufferers.
The citizens Of Syracuse, N. Y, have
sent letter to the sanitary association,
signed by large number Of prominent
and Influential citizens, suggesting that the
Iuhls furnished by that city be appropri-
sted to the construction of road
along the river front, ana this has given em-
ployment to large number of lahoring
men and thus in q measure helped solve the
question Of giving work to the able-bodied.
Acting President McQuaid, of the Sanitary
association was inclined to think that this
would be diverting the funds from the pur-
posed intended: that this should be appro-
pilated strictly to sanitary work and that
the work proposed would DO benefit TO
private citizens. A contrary opinion was
expressed to the effect that II the citizens of
certain locality desired the funds contrib
uted by them applied to certain purpose,
tnat 1t would be perfectly legitimate and
proper TO 80 use them. The matter was
referred to the committee on sanitation.
