STOUT HEARTS FEEL FAINT
Yellow Fever Patients Die at Jackson
vile for the Want of Skilled Nurses.
FORTY-SIX NEW CASES.
the Gloemiest Approximations Are Felt
Because of the Large Death
Roll.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 6.-This
has been the gloomiest day of the cpl
demic. The death roll has been uneX-
pectedly large and many usually cheer
full faces look stern and many stout
hearts feel faint. When DR.. Neal
Mitchell entered the executive rooms
this morning and announced six
deaths since klast evening, and
that some of the patients
had died for the want of skilled nurses,
there was a sensation. The board of
health was authorized to send to New
Orleans for as many nurses as are
needed who can have recommendations
from the president of the state board of
health, the executive committee to pay
charges. The number of new cases re-
ported for the twenty-fOur hours end
ing at six O'Clock this evening was forty
eight; deaths reported for the same
time, ten, as follows: Miss Pauline
Wolf, Miss Charlotte MOnanberger, p.
Lorimer, Edward Lucas, Chas. A. Peter
son ian infant, f. Sanders, German
tailor, Miss CASTILLO, Richard Mulroy,
Miss Nellie Herrick and Arthur
King. Mr.. Mulroy was taken sick
this morning and died in few hours.

The gloOmieSt apprehenSiOns are felt
here and the bitterness at the policy
that has shut in women and children,
who could have been sent to places of
safety two weeks ago, had consistent
and well ordered plan been adopted, is
intense. The committee appointed this
morning to prepare a statement
of facts looking to making
charges against Surgeon G neral Ham
ilton will report within TWO or three
days. Several liberal responses were
received to-day to the appeal for relief,
one from III. w. Fiagler, $1,000; the
Savanna Benevolent association, $1,000;
the Southern department of the
Equitable Life Insurance COM
pany, $1,000. Two additional
hospital wards are being built at Sand
Hills, and is hoped that arrangements
will soon be perfected for the prompt
and careful treatment and Dursing of
all patients. The poor will be indus
triously looked after. Leading local
physicians are almost worked down,
several being sick. But few tenders OF
medical aid have been received from
places where there are acclimated ply
sicianS. DR.. Frank II. Caldwell, of
Sanford, arrived to-day and took charge
Of st. Luke's hospital. Several saw
mills are cutting lumber for Camp
Mitchell. Chairman McDuff will have
several hundred wOrkingmen ready to
begin their construction on Monday
morning.
