The People of That Town Do Not
Fear the Fever.
McRae, Ca, Aug. 25.-When the mayor
of Brunswick issued his proclamation ad-
vising the people to leave, the question of
quarantine came before the authorities of
this city. The marshal was at once sent
to canvass the city. The vote resulted
in three for quarantine and the rest of
the people against it. Their ground
taken was that a Mr. Hughes went to
Brunswick when the fever was there be-
fore, seventeen years ago, stayed one
night, took the yellow fever, came back
to within five miles of this place, was
waited on as in other sickness until he
died, and no one took the fever.
All our physicians say that yellow
fever could not become epidemic in Nc
Rae
Yesterday the marshal of Savannah,
with one of the city physicians, came to
see US on the subject of quarantine, but
could bring no argument that would in
ttuence us except that Savannah quaran-
tine against US.
Yesterday when we got the official news
of Brunswick's suffering poor, Col Tom
Eason and Rev. W. A. Huckabee went
around and took up a collection. The
amount collected will be forwarded to
Brunswick at once.

BOTTOM UP, THEN RIaHTED.
Experience of a Schooner in the Hur-
ricane of We dnesday.


Norfolk, Va, Aug. 25-The steamship
Aros, Capt. Cole, has landed at Lambert's
point uthe shipwrecked crew of the
schooner ThomasP. Ball, wrecked off Cape
Henry in the hurricane Wednesday night.
The Thomas p Ball, with cargo of ma
hogany, was caught about thirty miles
southeast of Cape Henry by the hurricane.
The gale increased through the day, and
by 6o'clock p. m. was blowing a hurricane.
Nearly all the sails were blown away.
The deck load shifted, and striking
against the bulwarks, opened her seams
to leeward, making her leak badly. She
filed in two hours, and about 80 O'Clock
turned over to leeward, falling on her
beam ends and coming bottom up. But
after the deck load fioated off she righted.
and the men who had been sitting on her
bottom clambered into her rig
ging. At daybreak Thursday
morning they hoisted signals.
At about $50 O'Clock the English tramp
steamer Earnforth sighted them and took
them off. The men lost everything, even
to the clothes they had taken off to tighten
them in case of having to swim for life;
so that some of them arrived here bare
foot and bareheaded The crew of the
Ball numbered seven all told, and all
were saved. The schooner is anchored at
% fathoms of water, and viii be saved by
the Merritt Wrecking Company.

BLOODY FIGHT AT FELTON,.
An All-Round Row in Which Several
Wore Hit or Out.

Carrollton, Ga, Aug. 25-News of q
terrible row, which occurred at FELTON,
this evening, and in which two men were
so badly hurt that it is thought they
cannot live, reached here tonight. ]. J..
Richards was knocked in the head with a
board by Eli Kirk, and when he fell his
head struck a bench, and he was uncon-
scious for some time. Joe Mcpherson
was cut nearly all to pieces by Richards,
and he is lying unconscious at his home
in FELTON,. 1t is thought he can't possibly
live. Tom Galloway was hit several
times, and is severely bruised up.
CAUSE OF THE ROW.
1t seems from meager news received
that j. j. Richards, who is said TO be q
desperate, went to FELTON, this morning
and soon got full of corn WHISKY. Rich
ards is an escape from the United States
army at Mcpherson barracks, near At
lanta, and there is a considerable reward
for him. He has been in hiding near Eel
ton all the year. When he got drunk
this morning he went to the depot agent
and offered to give himself up, telling
him that there was q reward for him,
which the agent found was true, by later
investigation. Richards went out of the
depot and came across a negro, and
got up quarrel with him.
Joe Mcpherson, who is a good
citizen, came up and tried to get Richards
to desist his quarreling with the negro,
and Richards, who was trying to cut the
negro, turned on Mcpherson and cut him
severely. At the same time Tom Gala
way came up to take Richards part, and
Mcpherson hit him several times with
his fist. About this time Ellis Kirk, who
is a merchant of the town, came to
McPherson's assistance, and he knocked
Richards in the head with q
board. Mcpherson, who was ter
riblY cut, is q good citizen, and
Galloway was his half brother But it
seems Galloway took up for Richards.
Sheriff johnson arrested Richards and
carried him to Buchanan tonight, but it
is thought he can't live.
