OF,
two were colored women, Sarah Gibson
and Hannah Scruggles. No physician
who was present at the meeting could say
positively they were fever victims, and
they were not reported as such The at
tending physician was sick.
DIR. DAVIS sUPERCEDED.
The health board to-day appointed an
other physician to take charge of DR.. L. B.
Davis patients. This action was deemed
necessary by the board from the fact that
DIR. Davis patients, being reported as
sick with malaria, could not Justly be
given nurses. Instances were testified to
by the health board committee and Sur
geon FACET, where some of Dr. Davis pa
tients had died of typical cases of yellow
fever, while he persisted that they
mad only malaria. The interests of
the sick demanded that the health board
act as they did. DIR. Davis has not regu-
many years past. He did valuable ser
vice in the Brunswick epidemic of 1876,
and for that reason he was employed by
Surgeon Murray at the suggestion of the
health board when this epidemic began
PROTECTING FLORIDA.
Waycross, Ca, Oct. 10.-Surgeon Car
ter and DR.. Porter of Florida held a con-
sultation here to-day They decided that
in order to keep people who are not pro
vlded with bills Of health out of Florida,
1t was necessary to appoint three more
inspectors to inspect trains between Way
cross and jacksonville. DR.. Porter re-
turned on train 80 to Florida.
An inspector was placed on the Way
cross Air Line train to-day.
The trains on the Bruins wick and West
ern railroad between Waycross and
Albany are carefully inspected. There
are now twelve inspectors on the trains
on the different roads II it is found
necessary after further Investigations
have been made by Surgeon Carter more
inspectors will be appointed.
There is nothing of a suspicious nature
about the sickness at the places along the
line of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern railroad outside of Jesup. Surgeon
Carter will go to Jesup tomorrow and
Will make a careful inspection of the
place from the outside. He may be gone
two days.
