 JACKSONVILLE, FLA, October s. The loss of Col. Daniel is still so fresh that it is the theme on every tongue, and the mourning draperles floating from several buildings show that a public behefactor is gone. Although a native of South Carolina, Mir. Daniel had been so long idsntlfod With Flotida that it is difficult to associate him at all with the State of his nativity. He was born in the City of Columbia on the l4th day of August, 1880. He was, therefore, slightly over 5s years of age at the time of his death. He moved with his father to Florida in lSi2, and not long afterward to Jacksonville, where he has lived ever since.
 A movement is on foot to erect monument to him by popular subscrip- tion. The suggestion will doubtless be acted on.
 The following nurses, whose scr vices can now bo dispense1 with, were sent to Camp Perry to-day and will go home after their quarantine has ex- pired: W. Harper, c. II. Martin, ". II. Clayton, c. E. Smith, F. Curry.
 Dr. Solace Mitchell invited all tho members of the medical staff to Visit tho Sand Hills Hospital, and they all, with few exceptions. availed them selves of the opportunity.
 Do you know" said Dr. Mitchell, "that the record of deaths at the Sand Hills has been phenomenally small when compared with the cases-and bud cases. too which have been sent there2 Not single nurse or employe attached to the Sand Hills Hospital has contracted yellow fever since the epidemic began, and you know there in town the microbes have been having a regular picnic on the unacclimated, and even on the acclimated nurses. l attribute the fact to the superb loca- tion of the hospital. which is on high pine land, that necessarily must be salubrious and healthy from its sur roundings. Microbes have no oppor- tunity to thrive there, and if get a patient that is not too far gono with the disease the chances are greatly in favor of his recovery. We arc thor oughly equipped ill every way to take care of the sick, and people should have na fears about coming here. l am very glad to see that the antipathy aga nst coming to this place has al- most disappeared. There are still a few timid people who object to being sent here, but the numerous patients sem back to town safe and well have done much to dissipate the imagined horrors of this place."
 The refugee camp, known as Camp Perry, forty miles northwest of this city, has the best of discipline and &C., commodations. No sick people are al lowed in the camp. As soon as any one is found to be unwell he is at once sent to the hospital two miles away under the charge of Dr. Padgett, of New Orlea 8. The following is the daily order of life at the camp. At 5::0 o'clock reveile is sounded; at 6 breakfast is served to the gentlemen; at the ladies and children breakfast; at 10 the medical inspection takes place: at F lad es and children dine and the gent emen at 1; at 5 the second med cal Inspection takes place; at 6 the ladies and children sup and the gentlemen at '; at 9 the tattoo is sounded, and at 10 taps tho signal for lights out" Everybody is well ac- commodated. Single people have rooms s feet wide by 9 long, and mar ried coupe es have apartments 10 feet by 12. A large house has been built of papier mache for unmarried ladies, and cots arranged in it just as they are in hospital ward.
 1idings of another death have come to hand; of one who will be greatly missed in public as well as in private life. To-day Dr. William II. Babcock, Superintendent of Public Instruction of Duval County, breathed his last at his residence. The deceased had for three months past suffered with heart trouble, and this is what caused his death. He was about 5l years of age, and had been a citizen of Florida for thirty years.
 Dr. Kelworthy returned to-day from Maccleny, after having supplied the inhabitants there with everything necessary for their comfort. He spent sl734 there among the 1S0 Iersons left in that place. Dr. kelworthy inquired into the meaning of letters appealing for aid which had been made by Mac cleny, and traced them to a man named Wooding, who did not even live in the town, and who was not author ized to make any such demand
 President Mtchell's official bulletin for the twenty-four hours ending at 6 o'clock October reads:
 New cases, 77-15 whites; deaths, l. Total number of cases to date, 297l; total number of deaths to date, 27l. Death-John Worry tcoloredl.
 Dr. J. Y. Porter to night wrote to Miss Clara Barton, of the Red Cross, fully explaining why certain nurses were sent off, and also why Col. South mayd was recalled. Some few days ago dispatches from Washington said that Miss Barton was indignant over the treatment of her nurses. This letter will in all probability fully sat ;sf,, bar a e to the instice of Dr. Porter's
