Special Dispatch TO the Appeal.
jackson, Miss, Sept 2L-Though heavy
clouds oyershadowed the little city and
everything was wet from last nights rain,
the citizens appeared more cheerful than at
any time since the outbreak of the fever.
The good cheer was caused by reports OF no
new cases and no deaths through the night
The greater excitmement is caused by the
uncertainty Of trains with supplies and
medicines reaching this point Shotgun quar-
antine officers will not allow trains TO con-
tnue in any direction should they stop at
this point. The division superintendent Of the
Illinois Central railroad telegraphed the fol-
lowing;
Montgomery, Agent:
No 2 will not run today, or until further
notice. No. / may come south this after
noon, but not In future until further notice.
! have arranged for No. 3 to bring everything
for Jackson TO Asylum switch You arrange
to come for II and get It into Jackson. Moth
ing should be put on No. 3, as other towns
Will object TO our even stopping at Asylum
switch. There is no reasoning with these
people, and we are doing all in our power 10
quiet their unnecessary fears, but with little
success. j. NJ. TURNER.
Many necessarics are being carried up and
down by the express company which could
be put Oft without incurring any risk.
The census ordered by the State board Of
health was completed last evening, showing
remaining within the quarantine limits
1,0l7, and OF this number 800 are whites, the
balance oolored. OF those remaining 80 per
cent have never had the fever, and the ma
Jority OF them are not capable Of providing
for themselves and are dependent on the
support from without. The establishment
OF a refugee camp is very much hindered by
the want Of tents and material. Some 200
tents have been shipped, but from the inter
ference Of selfconstitutedq quarantines Il will
be frost before they reach here.
Reports from refugees In Rankin county
are received complaining OF short rations.
This condition Is far better than that Of those
within the quarantine.
The best illustration Of the fear Of the pco-
pie was received today when a gentleman Of
the suburbs refused TO receive n message by
telephone for fear OF contagion.
Mayor Henry today issued the following:
To the Druggists Of the City Of Jackson:
In the name OF the people Of the city OF
Jackson and Of the Howard association
most respectfully request and implore you
not 10 sell any alcohol or liquors of any Kind
90 negroes or white people, except on the
prescription Of practicing physicians. II
cannot be q matter Of much profit 10 you,
and your prompt compliance with this re.
quest will be dearly appreciated by every
one.
The mayor was prompted 10 issue the re-
quest owing to the fact that n number Of
people are drinking and have 10 be kept IN
Jail. The following is Of interest 10 those
desiring nails
