BRUNsWICK's HEALTH BOARD.

Washington.

Collector Dart Reports His Success at
Washington.
BRUNSWICK, GA, Aug. 30--The meeting
of the board OF health to-day was addressed
by Port Collector j. E. Dart, who reported
the success of his recent visit to Washing
ton, where government aid was secured in
the maintenance of quarantine against
Florida. He stated TO the board that Ii was
no longer necessary for them to keep inspect
ors on duty at NaYcross and Jesup, or to
sustain the water quarantine, the whole
being now under the care of the general
government.
A resolution of thanks was passed to Col
lector Dart, Congressman Crisp, Surgeon
General Hamilton and Senator Colquitt for
their interest in the matter.
A communication was read from Supt.
Haines, of the Brunswick and Western
road, asking if freights from New York by
the Mallory line TO Port Royal and thence by
rail would be permitted TO enter the city.
The reply was in the negative.
The route by Cumberland island was
ordered discontinued for the present 1t
would be cheaper for steamer to tic up
entirely than to run at a loss which has
been sustained since the collapse of the
Fernandina business.
The ridiculous story has gained circula-
ton that it costs s. to procure health GER
tificate to leave Brunswick. This, OF course,
is absolutely untrue, as the travelling per-
NIT is freely furnished any applicant enti-
tied to one.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 30.-A special to the

rather worse. The great jump in the num-
Der of new cases caused dismny among the
people left in town, and trains out to-day
were crowded from 10 to 2 o'clock Health
certificates are now issued daily by the
board of health.
Poor men who are unable to go to the
proposed camp will be assisted and every
effort made to get rid of large number of
people.
1.-The new cases to-day sprang up right

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 30.-Dr. Baird
president of the city board of health, de-
MES most emphatically the rumor that
there is yellow fever here. There are no
cases, and there has been nothing approach
ing yellow fever.
A telegram received tonight announcing
that Birmingham had ordered stricG
quarantine against Atlanta created CON
siderable stir. 1t will operate strongly
against the Georgia Pacific railroad. At
lanta still maintains a strict inspection of
trains from the south, but this is almost
farcial, as there is scarcely any travel from
the south. 1t looks as if everybody who
can get out of Jacksonville has left, hence
the lack of travel.
