BISHOP WEEDS SICKNESS.
The many friends, and in fact the whole
populace of Jacksonville, at home and
abroad, will learn with genuine regret thai
Bishop Weed has been attacked by yellow
fever The reverend gentleman, however,
!, not alarmed, and his splendid constitu-
ton will undoubtedly be able to withstand
the disease. The NEWS correspondent saw
Dr.. Fernandez, who came direct from
Bishop W eeds bedside at II o'clock tonight.
He reports his patient as doing extremely
well and that the fever so far, is of a very
mild type The bishop is good patient, the
doctor added, and obeyed orders like a
soldier. He thinks there is no cause for
anxiety, as he feels confident he can bring
him through all right.
Hundreds of people went away from here
during the panic, leaving no one to look
after their houses and their contents, and
gates stand open all the time. Cattle enter
and eat the shrubbery, and bad boys thresh
the green oranges from the trees and rare
plants are pulled up and carried off by the
neighbors and others.
THE RELIEF COMMITTEE.
The relief committee to-day presented
set of resolutions to the executive commit
tee of the Auxiliary Sanitary Association
to the effect that while they are desirous of
acting in perfect harmony with the associa-
ton, they thought that the resolutions re-
Gently passed by them suggesting the eli ire
closing of the cOmmissarles was ill-advised
and altogether too premature, and return
ing the resolutions for further action and
recommending that on I'd after Oct. 27 the
number of commissaries be reduced to
three, each embracing "a wider territory
The relief committee also reported that to-
days reports show a reduction of about 100
ration cards and 800 people.
APPEALS FROM OTHER TOWNS.
Macclenny sent another telegram to-day
for more supplies. This order will be filed
and sent from here, and an agent from the
committee sent with the requisite amount
of money to discharge their obligations
Sanderson also petitoned for supplies to-
day. and they will be forwarded at the
same time as those for Macclelny.
1t is thought that the necessity for main
tanning quarantine guard at South Jack
sonville is no longer advisable, as that place
is nov thoroughly infected, and the resi-
dent physician to-day acknowledges the
~ prevalence Of yellow fever there.
81 Gainesville does not seem disposed to ac-
81 cept aid from this city, but prefers to paddle
her own canoe and SO get her aid from out
# side sources. Mayor Brown of that place
III declines a conference with the executive
81 committee here. 1t was decided to wait
M until it was ascertained whether Mayor
& Brown had received a communication from
M Vice President Schumacher under date of
Il Oct. II, explaining in detail aud fully the
Al the plans and methods of the committee in
81 furnishing relief to outside towns, before
W any further action be taken in the matter.
W RESIGNATION OF THE DOCTORS.
|# DR.. Porter announced to-day that the
|z2 visiting physicians had rendered their resig-
W nation to the board of health, as they be-
W lleved that the local physicians could now
M handle the epidemic. DR.. Porter stated that
'X this was done in perfect good will and
FL further continued that it was their policy
|# now to return all the foreign nurses and re-
|W tam the local ones, who he thought would
W now be able to fill all the demands made
# upon them. Charleston, Savannah and
W Mobile will not receive back their nurses.
|# Charleston has proposed to pay for the
81 nurs sent from there, and a motion
# was passed by the committee to the effect
M that the mayor of Charleston be notified
M that the services Of the nurses from there
are no longer needed, and after they have
ia passed their quarantine at Camp Perry
Hill charleston will be expected to receive them
pack or pay their expenses while at the
s. camp.
|# The offices of the jacksonville, Tampa
# and Key West railroad i'll the Astor block
are being swept and put in good order
M preparatory to their occupancy by the
company for the winter. The porter says
W ne has had instructions to have them ready
by Nov. l. It is probable though that the
company will not be able to occupy them
Then, for the city will not be safe by that
time
HERO OF THE PLAGUE.
Among all the tales of sorrow and distress
Ihat are heard of daily once in while one
comes of a little brighter cast. One
such was related to the NEWS correspond
ntto-day. and the hero Of it deserves men
tlon, 1t occurred near Glen st. Mary,
several miles west of here, aud Charles
Cahdileld of Pensacola is the hero. Mr..

oN Mary some time ago to attend the john
son family at the former place, who were
