REFUGEEs UNDER ARREST.
New York officers Bag a Couple who
Broke their Parole.

New York, Sept. 22-Two refugees
from the quarantine camp in Florida were
arrested to-day by health officers in this
city, and taken to North Brothers island
They will be kept close prisoners by order
of the board Of health. They came from an
infected city, said to be Jacksonville, and
had agreed voluntarily 10 undergo ten days
quarantine before continuing on their jour-
ney north. They broke their parole and
came through by rail. Their destination
was known to the authorities at the quaran-
tine camp, and President Bayles was tele-
graphed to intercept them. Upon their
arrival to-day they were arrested at the
train.
TO BE CONFINED AS LONG AS NEED BE.
They will be quarautined on the island
for the remainder of the ten days, a d
longer il necessary. The health officers
would not give their names, but President
Bayles, speaking for the board said: :
"Henceforth we shall arrest and quarantine
for the proper time all persons violating
their Quarantine parole in the south when
ever we are informed OF the presence of
such refugees III this city. Our sources Of
information are such as to render IL d fl
cult for them TO escape detection. 1t is our
intention to sustain, as fully as possible, the
health authorities in the south. Close tele-
graphic communication has been estab-
lshed for this purpofe with the quarantine
camps and local health boards in the in
fected districts"

When the physicians had given their views
almost unanimously to the effect that the
city should not be Guaranteed, but that it
should repeat its humane act of 1878 in
we coming refugees with open doors, Pros-
dent Hewitt called for the report of the
committee. which was read as follows:
The experience of years warrants the ply
sicians OF Louisville in stating confidently to
her citizens and those visiting the city that on
account of our geographical and climatic con
tions Louisville can be in no danger from the
spread of yellow fever by contact with those
from infected districts of the south who may
seek refuge here. The lateness of the season
and the measures of safety adopted by the
state board of health justify us In assuring our
citizens that there is no danger whatever of the
disease gaining foothold in the city.

SELMA VERY STRICT.
Nothing But Gilt-Edged Papers will
Pass Inspection.

SELMA, ALA, Sept. 22.-Selma has ex-
tended her quarantine to include every
place where there is fever or suspicious OF
fever. Owing to the stampede of fever
refugees from jackson to Vicksburg and
Meridian and other Mississippi towns be-.
fore the fever was declared epidemic in
jackson. no persons or trains from those
points are allowed TO enter Selma. As a
result of this, trains from Meridian on the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, and
from Akron, on the Cincinnati, Selma and
Mobile, were not allowed to stop here, but
passed through the city at the rate OF ten
miles an hour with quarantine officer on
board. All parties entering the city from
any and everywhere must present gilt
edged health certificate covering period
of thirty days past. Travelling men have
boosted that they manufactured these
to order, but THAT racket cannot
now be worked" Selma is remark
ably healthy and in splendid sanitary
condition. A committee of citizens has
been appointed TO cooperate with the city
and county authorities in maintaining a
most rigid quarantine detective system.
Selma has only had yellow fever once since
its foundation That was In the year 1857,
and lasted only three weeks.

Beside this large number of bills were

up the sum total to fully $4,000 At the

Of money will be needed. There is
population here of fully 10000 or 1900
who are now being fed by the relief com
lnlttee. There seems no way of lifting this
burden, as the colored population positively
refuse to move into the camps, and they
must be fed here. 1t is a heavy burden,
and the stout-hearted and hard-worked heads
OF the different bureaus are almost stagger-
Ing under the load.

anticipated that before election day the
Third party and the republicans will have a

Is not nearly as full as it should
be, a great many of the whites
thinking that nomination means

playing In the role Of politician, has re4
turned from his tour in West Virginia, and
will enter the race for state senator. He
says the matter of being defeated does not
worry him in the least, as he is making the

up fusion between the negroes and repubs

CHATTANOOGA GATES CLOSED.
Only Passengers from the North on
One Road Can Enter.


CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 22.-The Offering of
a reward by the city council of S25 for the
detection and conviction of any refugee
from any infected district has had the effect
of making every man, woman and child in
Chattanooga detective, and no stranger
has entered the city who has not been sub
jected to most rigid scrutiny. With all
this, not single refugee has been found III
the city.
To-day the board OF -.ith of the city

1t is hereby resolved as the sense of the board.
and is hereby ordered that all trains, traffic or

natl Southern railroad, and that all freights or
passengers received by said Cincinnati Southern
road south of the Kentucky state line be ex-
cluded from this exception, and further that
this order shall take effect Immediately, and
be strictly enforced by all the quarantine
officers of the county. Any person violating
said order shall lay a fine of not more than
81 600 or be imprisoned, or both in the dscre-
ton of the court having jurisdiction, but the
mayor of Chattanooga shall have authority to
admit such persons, freight or traffic as In his
opinion may be free from contagion or in
fection and safe to be admitted to Hamilton

This order has been put in force, and no
one is now allowed to enter the city without
complete and positive evidence that he has
not been i'll an infected district or among
persons likely to be infected within fifteen
days from his application for entrance to

The city and county authorities have for
hidden the entrance of Memphis and
Charleston trains in the city. All trains on
that line have been abandoned and no
trains on that road arrive at the depot. Ala

mitted to stop in tho city. They pass

meet with the Cincinnati Southern five

DEMOCRACY'S ADDRESS.
All Contributions Should be Made Pay
able to Mr.. Canda.


NEW YORK, Sept. % The national
democratic committee issued an address to-
night to the people of the United States. II
is signed 10y William H. Barnum, chair
man, and Calvin s. Brice, chairman
Of the campaign committee. A post
script requests that all contributions
TO the national democratic campaign
fund should be made payable to the order
of Charles j. Canda. The address begins
by aluding to the evident wish of the great
majority of the Democratic party at the
end of President Clevelands third year of
office as President that he should be nomi-
mated for a second term. 1t touches on the
able and long continued public services of
Allen e.. Thurman and his claims
as his party's choice for Vice Presi-
dent. Next the committee, after
promising that it will do its
entire duty, appeals to all whose con
victions it represents to labor collectively
and as individuals for the election OF Cleve-
land and Thurman, and thus secure a con-
tinuance Of the blessings Of good govern
ment and the honest, able and wholly
unselfish administration of President Cleve-
land.
ORGANIZATION A NECESSITY.
1t then reminds the members of the party
that their first duty is thorough and com
plete organization. Everyone VINO thinks
Cleveland and Thurman should be elected
ought to belong to an organization in his
own neighborhood. Referring to the tariff
| question, it means that the present surplus
| in the treasury proves the necessity for q
reduction in taxes and deplores the action
of the republican Senate, which
refuses to reduce the average tariff
dues from AZ. 10 to 42.49 per cent. Trusts
are declared to be the outcome of high
duties, and IL the republicans achieve power,
the rich would become richer and the poor
poorer IL then alludes to the large sums
which corporations and persons who
profit by the needless exactions of
the existing tariff laws are prepared TO
spend to help the election of the republican
candidates, and appeals to the members of
the Democratic party for pecuniary assist
ance for the purpose of printing and circu-
lating campaign documents and for other
legitimate expenses.
oFFICEHOLDERS NOT FLEECED.
1t then alludes TO the freedom of those in
office under the democratic administration
from exactions for campaign purposes, and
contrasts its record with that of the Re-
publican party in former presidential cleo
tions. In conclusion. IL appeals to That
vast b dy of earnest men who have
learned in the toll and struggle of
daily life to estimate good government at
its true worth, and whose love of home and
country will prompt them to contribute
each according to his means to the expenses
of a canvass of such moment aud extending
over so great a territory.

BRUNSWICK CONFIDENT.
The Reliability and Strictness of Her
Quarantine Appreciated.

BRUNSWICK, GA, Sept. 22.-Amid the
fearful excitement incident TO the fast
spreading of the plague, Brunswick retains
her mental equilibrium to a remarkable
degree. She is surrounded by strong and
trustworthy quarantine guards, backed by
a board of health that sleeps with one eye
open, and the confidence felt by the popu-
lace is something remarkable. Business is
comparatively good, and fears of an epi-
demic are reduced TO minimum. Two
aldermen last night instituted detective
excursion, and in a small boat visited every
guarded entrance to the harbor, with the
uniform result of finding every guard
awake and about. Opinions differ greatly
on the necessity of "a seaward quarantine,
but the advocates of extreme quarantine
are in a majority in the board and are
backed by the people, and no danger is ap-
pretended in that direction.

Acting Mayor Gerow wrote the commit

helped, We have on hand probably enough to
take care of Jacksonville alone for thirty days.
We cannot reasonably expect that the fever
fires will be quenched before December, and
even after that time there will be work for sew
eral relief committees. The laboring class with
us is chiefly negroes, and have not the frugal
and thrifty habits Of northern men in the same
social rank. Again, other points in the state
need aid and will need it. We have sent some
of our supplies and funds to Macclenny, and
shall continue to do so. This morning report
comes that there are several cases
in Gainesville. Here will he another
field to which we shall gladly send assistance
such as may be in our power. From the above
you win see that while we are not desirous OF
imposing upon our fellow creatures, or of max

to give will be thankfully received. and beg TO
