The Brunswick Advertiser takes an ex-
IRENE view Of t5e &C ion Of Health Officer
Drummer in telling the captain Of the
steamer David Clark not to bring passen-
gers and baggage from Bru swlck until
further orders. It says: ITO say that
malicious less prompted him iBunner
would be expressing the sentiments Of many
/ Brunswick ans, but whether be IS 70 blame,
or parties behind him, for his acts, remains
yet 10 be learned At any rate II Is generally
believed that it was a covert act on
Savannah's part to injure the reputation
and blight the business Of this city"
A moments consideration would convince
| the Advertiser and the people of Bruins
wick that there was no malice in Health
Offcer Brunner's action, ana that there
was never thought in anybodys mind to
do Brunswick an injury. If here we're
any disposition here to harm Brunswick in
any way, which there is not, a fever scare
would not be resorted to for that purpose.
The announcement of fever there would pro-
duce great uneasiness and harm here, and
no one would be so reckless, wicked or
foolish to willfully do his own city harm.
Indeed, we feel perfectly safe in saying
that If any official here were to do anything
calculated TO create the imp essiJn that
there was fever at Brunswick, for the sole
purpose Of injuring that city, public senti-
ment would be 50 strongly against him
that he would have to resign, and, perhaps,
leave the city.
There is nothing but the kindllest feeling
IN Savannah for Brunswick, and every
Sayannahian was profoundly glad when
the rumors Of fever in the latter city were
authoritatively pronounced false. There
may be business rivalries between the two
cities, but they arc honorable riyalries.
There is NOBODY in Savannah that would
rejoice If Brunswick were to suffer a mis-
fortune Of any kind, and there is no ole
who IS 50 lacking in generous and manly
qualities as TO seeS to iniure that city bv
words or acts that would tend to create the
impression that she was the victim of a
dread ID disease. We feel certain that the A d.
sert'ser aad the people of Brunswick have
Judged Savannah hastily, aad that they
VIII reverse their opinio IS when they have
given the natter loug luful consideration.
hedIIh OIncer Drummer may have acted h
little hastily, but he did only what he be
leved his duty required him to do. The
rumors that he heard appeared to be pretty
well founded, and it seems that he promptly
asked for authoritative information from
Surgeon General Hamilton. He recalled,
doubtless, that the presence of the fever al
Fernandlna last year was not recognized
by the local authorities there until,
as it is alleged, it had been in
existence for some little time. Games
vile claims to have been injected from
that place, though We do not undertake
to assert that such was the case. Nodoubt
Health Officer Drummer aimed to take such
precautions as he thought neces AIRY. Its
not within the bounds Of probability that
he was prompted by NAL ce.

New YORK, Oct. f1.-An electric line
man met with terrible death today at the
corner of Center and Chambers streets
from coming in contact with an electric
light wire. He was employed by the
Western Union company.
He presented terrible sight as he died
on the network OF wires in mid-air, while
the deadly fluid actually made his body
sizzle and the blood pour out on the side
walk and over the clothes of the Mortified
spectators. The accident occurring in the
middle of the day, in one of the business
parts of the city, was witnessed by a large
crowd of people. The mans body lay
limp and motionless over the mass of
wires attached 10 the crosstree of the pole.

went up with pair of shears to cut the
wires. The lineman was found TO be deed

was said in catching, hating voice. as of

and emotion.
Immediately after the accident Mayor
Grant was notified. The mayor gave
orders that the wires that caused the acct
dent he cut at once. His secretary said
that the mayor would act promptly in the
matter. 1t is possible that he may order
the cutting OF all the electric wires above
ground tonight. whereupon a large part of
the city will be in darkness.
