LOUISVILLE. September 23.-At meet
ing of physicians and others, called by
Mayor Jacob, it has been decided to open
the gates Of Louisville to yellow fever
refugees. 4 train brought in l55 from
Decatur Yesterday morning. There is
no excitement here. At the meeting of
doctors it was the sentiment that Louis
VILE was in no danger When the physi
clans had given their views, almost EN-
phatically to the effect that the city
should not be quarsntined. but that ii
should rather repeat its humane act of

open doors, President Hewitt called for

Marvin, after short while, read as fol

THE experience of years wsrrants the
physicians of Louisville in stating conf
dently TO her citizens and those visiting
the city that on account of our geographi-
cal aud climatic conditions Louisville
can be in no danger from the spread of
yellow fever by contact with those from
the 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 dis
ease gaining foothold In the city.
