He has gangs of cotton handlers undergo
ing ten days detention at the camp, whose
time has nearly expired and his work will
proceed uninterruptedly
On his return from camp tonight
Surgeon Murray stated that he had ar
ranged for an extension of the limits, the
camp having proven too small for present
needs The camp now covers about six
acres.
Two lunatics are confined in the county
jail and fifteen prisoners. The luuatcs
are violent and give Sheriff Berrie much
trouble. One is white, Charles Gardner
OF Macon, and the other is cOlored. There
is no sickness in the jail.
SURGEON MURRAY CRITICISED.
Surgeon Murray's arrangements to
bring his family are being criticised by
the press. Surgeon General Wyman
wired him to that effect tonight, and re-
quested information on the subject.
Surgeon Murray replied Il desire to
have my three younger children, ages Z, 8
and I3, become immunes as soon as possi-
bic to save them from annual scare and
tiers, aged Is and II. are
immunes, but are now in college. 1 have
perfect confidence in my skill and do not
fear that any one will die if | treat them.
In view of your telegram have directed
them not to come, not wishing to dis
please you and if you forbid will stop
them. | consider the chance lost one.
Surgeon Murray said that owing to his
pressing calls outside the city he was not
aware of the order issued on the 18th
by the Secretary of the Treasury forbid
ding any one to enter an infected
district until after he had
wired his family to come,
that they were now ready and he was
especially anxious for them to arrive so
that if his children caught the fever his
entire family would be immuned Such
pluck and confidence illustrates the
wonderful man in charge of Brunswicks S
epidemic and should inspire confidence in
these remaining who will follow his in
structions
At the health board meeting Col. Good
year again took up the gauntlet for the
newspaper men. He said he had been re-
liaby informed that the afternoon press
correspondents were hampered in getting
owing to the lateness of the
hour at which the board met
and that they should consider the bene-
fit to Brunswick the papers had been and
grant any favor in their power He there
fore moved that the board meet at II
o'clock and give the newspaper men what
they wanted 1t was carried. Col. Good
year then went before the relief asso-
citation, made the same plea and was sue
cessful. Col. Goodyear and both boards
have proven friends to the press and de-
serve cordial support.
wAREsBoRO PUTS IN A DENIAL.
Waresboro, Ca, Oct 2.-There is no
suspicious case of fever here. The MORN
ING NEWS correspondent has made
thorough canvass Of the
town, and can assert posi-
lively that there is not a case of sickness
of any kind here. DR.. J. M. Spence, the
only physician here, says there is not,
neither has there been, a case of fever of
any kind here in the past three months.
Any reports ofsuspicious fever cases here
are erroneous and groundless.
FIVE SUSPECTS AT JEsUP.
Jesup, Ca, Oct. AIT a regular meet
ing of the council here this afternoon
Mayor Steele reported that he had placed
a strong guard around the Warren resi-
dence and that no one would be permitted
to communicate with it.
The quarantine restrictions against
Brunswick are being made more rigid, and
extra inspectors have been placed on duty.
Mayor Steele made a personal inspec-
tion of a majority of the houses this morn
ing and finds everything in a good sani-
tary condition.
There being five suspicious cases re-
ported by DR.. Tutten, Mayor Steele for
warded the following telegram to Surgeon
General Wyman at Washington: "All
contiguous cities have quarantined
against US. One case is pronounced yell
low fever by Surgeon Murray. Five
cases of fever here are reported suspi-
cious by local physicians, but the patients
are convalescent. There is no expert
enced physician here. The town is pam
icky. viii you not detail an experienced
man to take charge of the situation here?
Answer
Since the above telegram was for
warded, DR.. Tutten reports the five cases
as very suspicious, their temperature
ranging from 100 to 102, and indications
of black vomit with one of the patients.
NO TRAINS STOP.
No trains of the Savannah, Florida and
Western stop here and all communiCa-
tion by rail is cut off, with the exception
of one train on the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia railway.
Trains have been running through the
city at rates Yariously estimated from
twenty to forty miles.
On Motion of Alderman Floyd the rail
road officials were notified that they
could not pass through the town
at greater speed than ten miles
per hour. The MORNING News cor
respondent here stated in his report
which appeared in Sundays issue of the
News, that Warren, who died Saturday,
had not been in any infected district for
the past three weeks. 1t transpired at
to-days meeting of the council that War
ren was in and around Brunswick and Da-
rien during the past three weeks, and was
taken sick few days after his return
here, which proves most concluslvely
that Warren did not contract the disease
here from passengers freight or baggage,
as reported in to-day's NEWS
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
The following resolutions were passed
in council, with the request that the
MORNING NEWS correspondent be furn-
ished with a copy for publication:
Resolved That this council condemn the
account sent the Savannah MORNING NEWS
by their Brunswick correspondent as inaccu-
rate and misleading to the public and dam
aging to the town OF Jesup, wherein 1t IS
stated that Warren contracted yellow fever
by association with baggage ana freights
passing through Jesup from Brunswick, am
that he had not been in Brunswick since July
20 last leaving the impression that yellow fe-
yer originated here, while we nave positive
and conclusive evidence that he had visited
brunswick between the Sth and 18th OF Septem-
her. and il is highly probable from other cir
cumstances surrounding his actions that he
was in Brunswick at even later date,
Resolved further, That the SAVANNAH
MORNING NEWS be requested not TO puDllsh
anv news damaging TO the town Of Jesup sent
tbSn, Nv corresDondeuts outside Of the town
before having the same verified by their local
correspondent.
