Stricken Brunswick.

Should One be Attempted.
Brunswick, Ga, Sept. 26.-Two new
cases of fever developed to-day, Mrs.
Sleeper of ia North Wolf street, and
Mamie Mana (colored) of 6lO Richmond
street.
There was one death, that of Mrs.
Stokes of GIG G street.
Six patients were discharged-Miss
Theda Rhinehardt of 145 Grant street,
Mrs. Sleeper of ia North Wolf street,
Mamie Mana, William Johnson's wife and
mother-in-law, of All Amherst street, My
rick Bailey, enormously reported officially
as sick.
Thereare now under treatment fourteen
cases, the smallest number at any one
time since the epidemic was declared.
The outlook is favorable for the con-
tinued decrease of malignant cases and
allow rate of mortality. The entire atmos-
phere being poisoned, all the non-immunes
are warned by Surgeons Murray and FACET
to expect light attacks, but are promised
if they will get their system in order, and
when stricken send for physicians and OBJ
serve their directions, they will be cured.
Such words from such a high source has
relieved many minds. Under the sur
geons' cheerful talk and influence the
non-immunes regard the fever lightly.
At a meeting of the relief association
to-day Mayor Lamb read the following
telegram which had just been received.
The Savannah Press to-day in an editorial
says: 1.-The position of the Brunswick officials
is one full of responsibility, anxiety and work.
In all proper steps that they may take to
alleviate suffering and destroy disease they
are entitled to- and should receive the hearty
support of the people of Brunswick and the
general public SAVANNAH PRESS.
On motion the following reply was
wired the Savannah Press:
Speaking for those who are doing all in
their power to alleviate the sufferings of the
distressed, and feeling sure the Press would
be willing to do US justice, we were content
to await the calmer judgment Of your paper.
