apprehension that n new camp for sick
refugees has been established near jackson
VILE The name of Camp ST. Mary has
been changed to Camp Perry. The change
wss due to the fact that there is st.
Ma IS in Florida. and being in a differe 1t
to cause embarrassment. The establish
ment of government quarantine camp for
the treatment of sick refugees has not yet
been determined upon, bnt is being COZ
sidered.
LIKELY TO LAST TILL FROST.
DR.. Devan was asked if he thought the
ravages of the fever will be greater in
Jacksonville in September than in the pres
emit month, and he hesitated to give posi-
tive prediction. He was inclined to the
belief, however, that there will be fever in
jacksonville until November, or until frost
appears in that section He was also in
clined to the opinion that the epidemic
will not show an increased number of cases
next month, owing to the fact that the
population of the city has been reduced
about two-thirds by the exodus. The fewer
the people, he said the less the fever will
have to feed upon.
DR.. Devan's attention was called to Mr..
Sugden's views on the use of lime in drains
and sewers, and he fully indorsed them.
UnslalSed lime not being soluble in water
he said, is calculated to lead to the obstruc-
tion of drains; whereas chloride of lime.
being soluble i'll water, is preferable on that
account.
Referring to the workings of Camp Perry
DR.. Devan said that it is IN splendid condi-
ton. From fifty-eight to sixty refugees
y
were coming in. 1t is generally known that
one case of fever has developed at the camp.
The patient was Immediately sent to Jack
sonvllle and his quarters thoroughly fumi-
gated and disinfecsed.
80 To BUILD A LAzARErro.
Alderman McDonough, who was au-
thorized about two weeks ago to select a
site for lazaretto, and to have the build
ing constructed, was seen by a MORNING
NEWS reporter yesterday. He said that a
site had not yet been found, but that the
matter will be attended to early this week,
not because there Is any immediate need for
lazaretto to isolate and treat fever
patients, but because in the event there
should be a case or two there will be some
place where they can be taken for careful
nursing, medical attention, and complete
isolation from the city. Mr.. McDonough
said that he has two sites in view: One
is the Pritchard farm, owned by the county,
about five miles south of the city.
| The other site is Cherokee Hill, seven miles
| west of the city, with the advantage of
close proximity to the railroad, and of
being tho highest point of land in Chatham
county. The building to be erected will be
a small one, and will be built with view
| to enlargement, If necessary.
Mike Regaa, the sailor whose illness at
Guyton was reported in yesterdays MORN
ING NEWS, was able to take some nourish-
ment yesterday, and a dispatch to the
MORNING NEWS last night says that he is
doing well. He is from Kingstown, Ire
land.
NOT THE FAULT OF THE POLICE.
Police Sergeant Killourhy, who was on
duty Wednesday night when the report
came into the barracks of the dead negro
infant at Jones and Habersham streets, says
that he would like to have it understood
that the police are not responsible for any
red tape or neglect and that when the in
formation was brought to Sergeant Kill
lourhy's attention he detailed Officer Rus
sell to investigate the matter, an had the
death reported to the health officer bafore s
O'Clock Wednesday night. Both Chief
Green and Sergeant Killourhy say that the
police have no power to remove a body
without burial permit, and this was
case where the police had no authority to
act.
J. NJ Wilkinson, Esq, of Valdosta was
in the city yesterday, and will return home
this morning. He reports that there is no
truth whatever in the rumors of yellow
favar and that ayCantiDe tha oasa nf NJ
