New YORK, September 1.-THE Her.
ads Charlotte, N. G, dispatch says;
After many wearing delays along the
route, the train load of Florida refugees
arrived at THE city yesterday and left
after short stay for Hendersonville, N.
@. which is the destination Of the fugi-
tives. 1
The train was made up in Jacksonville
snc consisted Of ten coaches. Packed in
these convsyances were between four and
five hundred grown people and perhaps
hundred children. On the train were
number of colored passengers Of all ages.
The first halt of any consequences was
made at Atlanta, Ga. As the train slowed
up the heads of men and women blackened
with coal dust and gsuDt, hungry looking
faces with bloOdshot eyes red for want OF
sleep, were showed through the open win
dows, and the cry went up from one end OF
the,train to the other Give us food and
water" The door of Durand's restaurant
was propped open and all the walters and
plenty OF volunteers carried sandwiches,
coffee and water to the thirsty, hungry
refugees Fully five thousand persons
took look at the train.
DR.. W. s. Armstrong, President OF the
Board of Health; DR.. J. B. Baird, Secre-
tary of the Board OF Health, and Dr.
Crychton, one of the yellow fever inspec-
tors, were at the depot The chief of po'
lice, with squad OF patrolmen, was pres
ent, and under instruction from Drs.
Baird and Armstrong, had each coach
guarded so that no person could get either
on or off This was done to carry out the
instructions of Surgeon-G eneral Htmilton.
On the arrival of the train here persons
who had friends or relatives on 1t were
allowed to speak to them, and all along
the line of coaches ON both sides there was
much hand shaking and happy greeting
until the train pulled out.
DR.. John Guitsras, who Is connected
with the Marine Hospital service, was in
charge of the train. He was asked by
your correspondent, ''What will the refu-
gees do when they get to Hendersonville?"
He replied: "God only knows. They have
been invited there, and don't know what
the people OF Hendersonville will do with
them. Few OF them have any money and
many will be objects of charity" DR.
Guiteras said there were three cases of yell
low fever on the train and one other case
which was suspicious All of them were
taken sick immediately after the train left
Jacksonville. .,
As the train nesred one Of the stations,
Dan Pitchford, young man who while
on a visit TO Jacksonville, was caught by
quarantine, made bold leap for liberty,
jumping through the open window Of a
moving car. The train was going 80
fast that by the time the speed had
been slackened young Pitchford was some
distance away. The health officers were
notified of Pitchford's escape, and he was
captured and is now en- route to Hender-
sonville in charge of special officer.
The number of new cases to-day was 43,
deaths ~, the largest record OF mortality
yet. Total cases reported to date, $50;
total deaths, 1l6.
