A Party Of Them Shut Up in a Car al

Several Escape the Quarantine In
speotors and Come Into the City-Au
of Them Discovered and Provided
for-The Bellevue Fumigated and
Allowed to Come Up-The Situation
at Brunswick as Told by One of the
Refugees.
No new developments were reported to
the city authorities in the yellow fever
situation at Brunswick and Pensacola
yesterday. The sanitary board met at
the city exchange at u o'clock. according
TO appointment.
The only information that came before
the meeting was a telegram from the
surgeon-general stating that he had as
certained that the yellow fever case at
Brunswick was in the city and not at
quarantine, of which fact the
authorities here were already aware.
The board adjourned to meet
again today. Mayor McDonouch and
DR.. Drummer were much relieved to hear
that there had been no additional cases
at Brunswick and Pensacola.
The only excitement in quarantine
matters yesterday was the stoppage of q
number Of Brunswick PASSENGER bound
for Savannah on the noon train. Several
of the passengers so detained departed
for other points, but three or four pass
engers who would not or could not get
away elsewhere spent last night at South
over in charge of the quarantine inspec-
tors.
HELD AT sOUTHOvER.
The were accommodated in
an old car on a
side track. The accommodations for de-
tanned passengers at SOuthover are not
palatial and the subjects ofdetention will
probably be glad to get away in any direc-
ton that offers to-day.
There were so many passengers from
Brunswick on board that the inspectors
did not succeed in detecting them all and
several came on TO the city without inter
ference on the part of the officers. The
report of this occurrence reached DR.
Drummer in the afternoon, and he imme-
diat@ly set TO work to ferret out the in
truders and dispatch them elsewhere. He
was successful in finding the parties, who
agreed to go without protest, and they
accordiningly departed from the city last
night for other points.
Mr.. :. NJ. Hale an attached of Can't O.
M. Carriers engineering force at Bruins
wick, was one Of those who succeeded in
passing the inspectors. He came into the
city on the morning train from Bruins
wick. Mr.. Hale had come up on a bust
ness trip to see Capt Carter, but his
peace in the city remained undisturbed
for only short while.
OUT OF THE CITY OR TO QUARANTINE.
DIR. Drummer learned that he had passed
the quarantine inspectors and had come
through from Brunswick, and it was
not long before he was on his
trdll. In company with an
ofncer DR. Drummer went to look him up.
and when he found him gave him his
choice between leaving town last night or
being taken out to the quarantine station
and detained there. Mr. Hale decided he
would leave the city on the first train last
night, and was allowed to do this.
Mr. Hale passed the quarantine inspec-
tor without being examined. He did not
look at all suspicious and it is probable
that the Inspector passed him thinking he
had come from another section.
There was no danger, however. from
this source, as MIR. Hale has been at work
two miles out from Brunswick. and only
went into the city yesterday to take the
train. de had not been near the infected
portion of the city.
GOOD MANY LEAVING.
Mr. Hale says that the people of Bruins.
wick are pretty badly frightened over the
state of affairs there, and that several new
cases were talked of, but he had heard
nothing authentic on this point. On the
train on which he left Brunswick, on the
Brunswick and Western railroad. there
were thirteen coaches loaded with people
fleeing from the plague which seems i'm
minent. sHe says that trains of this line
have been carrying them ever since the
case was reported.
The steamer Bellevue. which left Bruins
wick Saturday, arrived up at the city last
night. The Bellevue was intercepted on
her way up by the tug Theckla by order
of the sanitary board and taken to quar-
rantine, where she was disinfected.
ALLOWED TO COME UP.
Her captain stated that he only snent
one hour at Brunswick and only one per
son from the steamer went into the CITY.
and he did not go into the infected neigh
borhood. As soon as Capt Gibson heard
there was yellow fever in Bruins
wick he sailed at once. taking
neither freight nor passengers for Sayan-
nah. This being the case the Bellevue
was allowed 10 proceed on her way TO the
city, after being disinfected.
Very little uneasiness was manifested
IN the city yesterday on the score of the
yellow fever at Brunswick, and if no new
cases are reported in the next few DAYS
the feeling Of uneasiness will soon die
away altogether.
