A case of sickness in South Jacksonville
is being very closely watched by the au-
thorities there, as it is considered suspicious.
Yellow fever is epidemic in a negro set
tlement one and half miles north of that
suburb, but South Jacksonville's quarantine
system has been thought strong enough to
keep danger away from that side, as the
people are quite unable to provide for them
selves. Communication with this city is
unavoidable, yet over on this side the quar-
antine system is one of the best in the state
MUCH DISCOMFORT.
Much discomfort exists in that once flour
ishing suburb. As the ferryboat makes
only two trips day TO South Jacksonville,
it is impossible to furnish the necessary sup
plies TO the commlsSary in that place. The
matter has been referred to the transporta-
tion committee, with the object of obtaining
more frequent trips by the ferryboat if
possible, as in that event the relief com
mittee here could supply all the wants of
the people there.
Although yesterday may have been bad
day for those who were out, yet it was much
worse for those who were sick The sun
was out to-day invigoratipg the sick and
the well.
Some families have been exterminated by
the fever. First Mr.. Waukyn died of
yellow fever, then Miss Fort his attendant
and housekeeper, and on Monday Mrs J.
l.. Elliott expired and yesterday Mr. Elliott
who was left in charge of Mr. Wauklyn's
business followed. The Herrick and Storck
families are parallel cases. or the firm of
Fleming & Daniel, only one is left.
1t is said that 2. McQuaid, who is i'll, is a
little better to-day.
NURSES SENT AWAY
Ten more nurses were sent to Camp
Perry to-day, as there is no need of their
services here now.

CUPID AS SPRY AS EVER
Some people are determined to marry in
spite of danger. Yesterday afternoon at
Judge McLeaL's, F. G. Chase was united to
Miss Deero B. Keiser. The former will be
remembered as the manager of the Carlton
pharmacy, and the latter as an attendant
at the same place.
Although the rain poured down in tor
rents it did not dampen the ardor of Ray
inond Hendricks, bookkeeper for the shoe
firm Of Charles Marvin 81 Co., for he was
married at o'clock yesterday afternoon to
Miss Hattie Swing, at the residence of the
brides mother, at New Arlington. The
bride is lovely girl, both in character and
personal appearance, and Mr.. Hendricks
has secured prize of inestimabe value.
GOOD NURSES.
Sister Mary Ann, of the orphans home,
who had fourteen little girls in her charge,
had every one of them sick with yellow
fever and safely brought them through
without losing a single one.
The people OF this city are becoming more
cheerful. The compa atively small number
Of cases, with the lightness Of the death
rate, induces every one to accept as a fact
that the most virulent period Of the epi-
demic is passed
AT 8 o'clock last night there was not a
street lamp lighted east Of market street,
except on the corner of Monroe and Cathe-
rine.
The sanitary committee is doing splendid
work with the gangs of laborers, and to
their credit be it said, the latter are work
ing cheerfully, saying in a very manly
manner that plenty Of work at living wages
is all they desire.
