COLD AND RAINING.
Tonight it is cold and rain is falling.
There are some prospects of freeze, when
the rain ceases and the wind dies down.
All the afternoon tho colored contingent
have been out in force celebrating the
Publican victory. Hundreds filled the
streets, while their cheers and shouts dis
PEELED all thought of the fever's grasp. All
the outside relief stations are now closed
and only the central one is open to deliver
supplies. AS the funds grow smaller day

A GLOOMY FEELING.
The fever news is OF discouraging char
acter. Three deaths were reported up to
noon and several others are quite i'll. The
new cases are as numerous as ever, and a
gloomy feeling is increased.
All the readers of the NEWS know of Mrs
J. w. Saunders, who was Miss Emma By
water, and lived at the corner of Ocean aud
Forsyth streets whore the epidemic began
and who was one of the first 10 catch the
fever, she and Mr.. Saunders being taken
out to the Sand Hills together. When the
old eyesore at the corner of Ocean and For
syth streets was burned down both Mr.
Saunders and Miss Bywater lost all their
clothes, and when the medical bureau was
organized Mr.. Saunders and his wife-for
he had married Miss Bywater-were put in
charge of the walters and household prop
erty, and remained so until last week, when
they left for Camp Perry en- route for Phila-
delphia.
ACCUSED OF EMBEZZLEMENT.
This morning quite a sensation was
created at Victor Mudge's law office when a
woman named Qually Mcdonald appeared
and swore out warrant for embezzlement
against Mrs. Saunders, who is charged by
the Mcdonald woman with haying stolen a
gold watch and other jewelry valued at
SIP. Mr.. Nudge telegraphed to Camp
Perry to arrest Mrs. Saunders, but she had
left this morning for Atlanta with her hus-
band. Mr.. Nudge then sent telegram to the
authorities at Atlanta to arrest her there
this afternoon 1t is rumored that sensa-
tional developments will be made on other
matters if the parties are captured and re-
turned here. It is learned late tonight
that three warrants are out for Mr.. and
Mrs. Saunders. Up to a late hour no
report Of their arrest had been received
here
ATLANTA'S CLOSED GATES.
With all due Difference to the Atlanta
denial, the report as first sent is correct.
Mr. Rogers wired the board of health there
asking if Jacksonville's car could come in.
The answer was in substance: mo we
stand by the Augusta agreement. Only
through Camp Perrv.n This is just
as was SAID in the NEWS. The
Mayor of Macon wired tonight
that he had telegraphed Surgeon General
Hamilton that Macon had no objection to
Jacksonville people coming in direct, pro-
