JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 26.-Nine new
cases of yellow fever were reported to-day.
among them F. E. Bogue, prominent fur
niture dealer. There were two deaths, both
at st. Luke's hospital, VIM. Craugh, fire.
man from the central station who was taken
from the street yesterday in an almost dying
condition, and Edward Dixon, a ieweler,
who came here from the north an invalid.
Two cases were discharged cured. There
have been an even hundred cases all told,
many light with marked yellow fever symp-
toms and believed to be renaittent or bilious
fever. It has been a very sad Sunday. The
infected district is gradually enlarging, espe-
sially Forsythe, Adams and Monroe streets
from Pine or Main eaat and in East Jack
sonville. No cases have developed in the
neighborhood of the Grand Union Hotel
since it was closed and disinfected. It looks
as if the ending of the epidemic is matter of
intelligent and energetic work, but one of no
small magnitude. The slow progress of the
epidemic apparently, and its mildness, great
" encourage the people.
The fight against the enemy is kept up
bravely BY the people. The sanitary force is
still large and is kept busy at work all the
time. Every portion of the city is gone
over frequently and disinfectants in large
quantity are freely used. The people living
in the blocks where the local centers of infec-
ton are known to be are moving into other
sections of the city. This will certainly prove
serviceable in stopping the fevers progress.
The Lafayette House, where Mrs. Mcclellan
died, has been thoroughly fumigated and
cleansed, and as Mr.. Mcclellan has shown no
signs of fever he will be allowed to go to-
morrow. The patients, with the exception
of Jack Howard, George Willis and Tom
Marshall, are doing well. The additions be-
ing made to the Sand Hills hospital will pro-
vide for forty more patients besides better
room for suspects, an Office for the doctor,
etc. Nurses have been provided in abund-
ance, and il the doctors do not all get sick
the patients here can rely on being well
treated.
A great commotion was caused this after
noon by q report that the Savannah, Florida
and Western road refused to take passengers
from this point even on through tickets to
northern points where towns has invited
refugees from this city to go. On investiga-
ton the report was found to be true. Only
a mail car left to-day. One passenger was
thrown off at Lavelle Junction, the conduc-
tor had orders not to allow a passenger to
leave the train. Not only are through pas
sengers prohibited, but all persons intending
to 60 to the quarantine station at Bologne or
Camp st. Mary's refused passage. This will
kindle blaze as soon as the people become
fully cognizant of the matter. A mass meet
ing will probably be called in the morning.
