PHILADELPHIA's PATIENT,
He is Reported as Having Yellow
Fever but There is Doubt.

He is Reported as Having Yellow
Fever but There is Doubt
WASHINGTON, Sept 1-Surgeon General
Hamilton to-day received a dispatch from
Philadelphia informing him that case of
yellow fever has bean discovered there in
the person OF a Florida refugee who passed
the inspection at Waycross, GA. The
patient was sent TO the municipal hospital.
NOT CERTAIN OF ITS NATURE.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-The supposed
yellow fever patient is James McNeerny,
about 40 years of age, who left Jackson
vile last Wednesday with party of
twenty-four others for the north The
party were provided with passports aud
passed the inspection in the regular way,
remaining together until they reached
Washington. There they separated, and
McNeerney came here Yesterday he fele
ill, and applied at the German
hospital for admission. Upon be-
ing examined by the physicians
of that institution he was pronounced to be
suffering from fever resembling either ma
larial or intermittant, and was admitted.
He declared when admitted that he came
from an interior portion of this state, but
further questioning this morning revealed
the fact that lie was from Jacksonville, and
the resident physician, upon receiving this
information, decided to send the patient
to the municipal hospital. The physi-
clan of the German hospital says that
his action was precautionary measure,
and that while he believes the man to be
suffering from an ordinary fever, he
deemed it wise, in view of the fact that the
man came from an infected yellow fever
point, to report the case to the board of
health and allow them to send the case to
the municipal hospital. 1t is generally be-
-lieyed that the case is not one of yellow
fever.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 1.-The Times
Democrats special from jacksonville, Fla,
says: "Mr. Enter, fireman of the Pine
street station, received letter yesterday
from his sister in Charleston stating that
she was suffering from a severe attack of
yellow fever, and that there were several
other cases in that city. 1t is not known
whether this is true gor not, as it cannot
be corroborated now owing to the sickness
in this city.
LOG trains over the Florida Central and
Peninsulor railroad have beon for the pres
ent abandoned. III tue first place, trains
are not allowed to pass Starke, and if it
were not SD the railroad authorities say they
do not desire to jeepardize the health of the
engineers and other employees in running
past st. Luke's hospital, as they must do to
reach the depot. However, several of the
mills have a sufficient supply of logs on
hand to last them for some time, and are
constantly receiving mere from different
points up the river, so that this temporary
suspension will not affect them Immediately
nor necessitate the stoppage Of mills"

SIGNAL SERVICE HEROES.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The friends of
Private Eddy, of the signal corps, endeav-
ored, without his knowledge, to secure his
relief from duty at Titusville, Fla, on the
ground that it was wrong to keep a man
stationed in the midst of danger from vel
low fever. Private Eddy wrote to Gen.
Greely disclainning any desire to be re-
lieved, and stating that be should
keep his post even if the fever at
tackled Titusville. Gen. Greedy says in
his reply: ""It is justice. to the men of the
signal corps serving in Florida to say that
no one of these men have expressed, either
directly or indirectly, any wish or inclina-
ton to quit their station and duties. While
this is no moro than the chief signal officer
has experienced from men of the strength
of character and high standing which char
acterizes nearly all the men of this corps,
yet it is a qualification to him to receive
assurance TO this effect as in the case Of
Private Eddy. and a distinct denial of any
wish to avail himself of the influence or
efforts of his jealous friends"

He Is Assured of the Loyalty OF the
Navy.

PARIS, Sept. 1.-The municipal authori-
ties of Toulon entertained Prime Minister
Floquet at a lunch yesterday. In speech
tue premier urged upon his hearers the
danger Of allo wing the quiet Of the repub-
lie TO be attacked by open attempts at
monarchial restoration or the treacherous
adventures Of dictatorship. No govern
ment, he said, conld be certain OF avoiding
errors or accomplishing everything It
wished. Therefore, he asked the people TO
be indulgent to the government, as its sin
greeted with cheers and cries of "Vive
Floquet." The maritime prefect afterward
delivered an address, assuring Premier
Floquet OF the loyalty Of the navy.
