Brunswick, Ga, Sept. 2O.-No new
cases were reported at the meeting of
the board of health to-day, and all the
PATIENTS under treatment were reported
as recovering rapidly. One patient. Mrs.
Brock is considered now convalescent,
and she is not dangerously sick. o. w.
Cole is recovering, and his condition to-
dav bears out the statement made last
night that he had no symptoms of yellow
fever. After reports of physicians the
matter of giving names was brought up.
Col Goodyear, who was the main op-
ponent to giving names heretofore, arose
and stated that the conditions were diff
ferent now to what they were when the
resolution was adopted Sunday, and for
that reason he was in favor of re-
scinding the resolution. Turning to the
newspaper men present he continued his
remarks by saying that they might as
well be given all the informa tion they
wanted without further hesitancy.
COULD NOT BE KEPT UNDER.
He said that his experience with news
paper men in Brunswick the past few
DAYS had convinced him that nothing
could be kept from them by force. lie
said that they might put an armed cor
don Of men around them, and they would
gel the news somehow. lie said they
might lock them up in the most remote
region, and the next morning they would
have their papers full Of news and the
world would wonder where they got it..
He said the newspaper men hore feared
neither pestlence nor death, and they
would feel the pulse OF every sick person
in Brunswick and diagnose his
cases themselves if they were not given
the news, and forone henow wanted them
to have it, and oil they could get, and he
believed they would treat this unlortun-
ate but glorious city in the future, as in
the past, with the fullness and fairness
that had characterized the work Of every
honest newspaper man.
Rad THE EFFECT DESIRED.
His remarks created intense feeling in
favor of the news gatherer and Drs.
Butts, Burford, Messrs. Moore and Little.
field, members, and Surgeon Murray and
all the spectators agreed with him, and
the resolution resembling their former ac-
tion was unanimously carried.
aCATHING ARRAIGNMENT.
Col. Goodyear then dealt with the refu-
gees. He said that kilograms informed
him that male refugees were criticising
their action. For their criticisms he
cared nothing. The men doing this fed
the city at the first alarm, leaving hand
ful OF men to save the town from ruin by
fire and thieves, and to suppors the poor
When quarantine was raised they re-
turned, and began to criticise, and went
SO far as to hold en- indignation meeting
and damn the surgeons, doctors, relief
committee and health board
The alarm was sounded again, and
they recalled that meeting and fed like
frightened sheep, leaving still fewer men
here to fight the criminal classes and
death. They were now criticising their
actions again. He cared nothing for their
criticisms, and refused to be led by men
who fed the city.
INTERESTING TIP FOR CROOKS.
The people here, he said, had quietly
arranged to deal with the first burglar
caught at the nearest lamp and while
men abroad were impugning their action
IN suppressing names, they were here
protecting these same critics property.
Col. Goodyear was red hot, and his re-
marks were applauded.
Report of the census handed in shows
about SOC population.
SURGEON MURRAY SAYS A WORD.
Surgeon Murray appeared before the
board by special request and made some
unofficial remarks. He said he considered
the outlook for light mortality and only
slight illness very hopeful While he was
positive it would be six weeks before the
epidemic was ended, he did not think
many deaths from the fever would occur.
lie warned the people to stay at hOmeand
take care of themselves; to send for
physicians when taken sick, and to OBJ
serve their physicians instructions By
