Central station who was taken from the
street yesterday in an almost dying condi-
ton.
EDWARD w. DIXON, jeweler who came

There have been an even hundred cases
all told and four teen deaths. Many of the
cases are light with marked yellow fever
symptoms, and are believed to be remittent
or bilious fever. There are sixty-tiye cases
under treatment, including one brought in
from Camp Perry late this evening. All
the other patients are doing we'll. 1t is
said that the United States authorities have
sent word that all buildings destroyed will
be paid for by the national government.
QUIET DAY. Ok
To-day has been a very quiet day in
rather lonesome looking place. The little
yellow flags are Haunting out more
numerously than ever and approaching closer
to the business parts of the city, especially
Forsyth, Adams and Monroe streets from
Pine or Maine east, and in East Jackson
vile. No cases have developed in the
neighborhood of the Grand Union hotel
since it was closed and disinfected.
1t is said that several cases have occurred
in the outskirts OF the city among the
refugees. CdlllJ4HB Oul, DuO llObuluE StAl 10
learned about it tonight.
A REFUSAL TO TAKE OUT PASSENGERS.
Great commotion was caused this after
noon by report that the Savannah, Florida
and Western railroad refused to take pas
sengers from this point, even on through
tickets, to northern points, where towns
had invited refugees from this city to
go. On Investigation the report was found
TO be true, and only mail car, left to-day.
One passenger was put off the train at
LaVilla junction, as the conductor said
that he had orders not to allow single
passenger to leave on the train. No express
north, nor any other package will be taken.
It cannot be ascertained here as yet
who is responsible for the now rule.
This will kindle blaze here in Jacksonville
as soon as the people become fully cognizant
of the matter. A mass meeting will proba
bly, be called in the morning.
1t is said that the railroad will run one
train each way, daily, between here and
Camp Boulogne. Refugees can then go
there, and after ten days go north, but
most people prefer the city to the discom-
forts of the quarantine camp.
TWO OUT OF DANGER.
Mrs H. B. Bebee and daughter have
passed the critical stage of the disease, and
are now almost convalescent.
Dr. Sollace Mitchell reports all of the
patients at the Sand Hills hospital as get
ting along as we'll as he could expect, there
being only two or three WHO are very sick
He also reports that the work of building
the addition to the hospital is progressing
very slowly.
The citizens are untiring in their work
toward staying the progress of the disease,
and still hope that their efforts will be
crowned with SUCCESS.
NO SICKNESS AT PABLO.
Harry Squires, who has charge of the
sanitary work at Pablo Beach, reports that
town in perfect sanitary condition. A
cool, northeasterly wind has prevailed for
several days past, and there is not single
case of sickness of any kind at that resort
Bathing, he says, was never better.
DIR. j. b. Fernandez, who Is in charge of
st. Luke's hospital, reported this morning
that Sister Roselina while very sick, was
resting more comfortably than during the
previous day.
DIR. Stollenwerck is improving.
DIR. FERNANDEZ HARD PRESSED.
For several days past DIR. Fernandez had
the care of this hospital entirely upon his
own shoulders. Yesterday, however, Dr.
William L. Baldwin ent out and rendered
him very valuable assistance, for which he
feels very grateful.
Two patients were discharged to-day
Davis Lloyd and Robert Grace, the latter a
gatekeeper at the sub-tropical exposition.
). L. Simmons, fireman, will be dis
charged to-mrrrow. The situation seems
TO be no better, and the probabilities are
that the epidemic will run its length, but
more people will leave soon, so that with an
almost depopulated city, It's stay may be
short.
