The Regulations Made Less lrksome
on the People of the City.
MEMPHIS, Sept. pa meeting of the
joint committee of the cotton and merchants
exchanges and city authorities was held to-
day. The stringent quarantine regulations
which have been enforced since Saturday
were amended by the adoption of the fol-
lowing:
RESOLVED, That passes be issued upon certif-
cate of the president of the taxing district or
the president of the board of health to persons
TO come in and out of the city, who live in the
city or its vicinity, and who will not go to any
Infect ed di'trict; that this authority will also
cover all cases of people desiring to bring, pro-
duce or carry out supplies in wagons or other
vehicles
EeS0iued, That any person or persons, who are
at present at quarantine stations, shall be per
mitted to come to the city upon permits issued
by the taxing district authorities when satisfac-
tory evidence is shown that they have not been
in any infected districts.
SOLDIERS TO DO PICKET DUTY.
The local military companies reported for
duty to-day, and later will be assigned to
duty as pickets on the dirt roads.
The following has been furnished the as
sociated press and is official:
The advisory committee from the cotton and
merchants exchanges, in connection with the
city and board of health authorities desire TO
of Memphis is remarkably healthy aud that we
have had no yellow fever in our vicinity since
1879. NAPOLEON HILL,
Chairman Advisory Committee.
ID. y. MADDEN,
President Taxing District.
q. b. THORNTON,
President Board Health.
The latest from Decatur received to-day,
is to the effect that no new cases of yellow
fever have developed since yesterday, nor
any deaths occurred.
An armed force, composed of members of
the Chickasaw Guards, Memphis Merchant
Zouaves and civilian guards, have been
placed to guard the roads leading into
Memphis tonight.
There are picket stands and a detail of
six men for each station was made this
afternoon and placed on duty.
In Arkansas trains will be stopped at
West Memphis, and all passengers not sup
piled with passes from the Memphis board
of health will not be allowed to cross the
river. Residents of Memphis who are now
absent from the city will be allowed to re-
turn provided they have not been in any in
fected district and have a pass from the
board of health.
The board has sigpified its willingness to
allow a special train to pass through the
city, each coach to be sealed and guarded
by inspectors who would meet the train ten
miles south of Memphis, and guard it until
it had passed ten miles north of the city.
STEAMER IN TIE STREAM
The steamer Ohio, which will arrive to-
morrow from Cincinnati, will be anchored
in the middle of the river and not allowed
to land until an inspector has made inspec-
ton of all passengers.
Among the number is a gentleman from
Birmingham, named Fisher, who is suffer
ing from chronic dysentery, and yet he
must remain where he cannot secure any
accommodations until arrangements can be
made for his entrance into the city, and the
exposure may result fatally.
The exodus from this city continues, but
not to such an extent as heretofore. All
passenger trains on the Louisville, New
Orleans and Texas railway between
Memphis and New Orleans have been
abandoned, and none of the other lines are
running their usual number. Trade is
paralyzed almost as much as if a case of
fever had really developed here and yet the
city was never healthier, nor crops in this
vicinity more abundent.
