SUSPECTS TAKEN CARE OF.
EVldGTS Of the Quarantine Sent 10
Fort Pulaski.

Force of Sanitary Inspectors Increas-
ed and a Thorough Inspection of the
City Being Made.
The only news received from Brunswick
yesterday by the city authorities was a
telegram to Mayor McDonough from
Mayor Lamb. saying that DR. Branham
was improving and that no new cases of
fever had developed.
Mayor McDonough said last night that
the quarantine regulations will be strictly
enforced, and that some of the people who
are violating the laws by slipping past
the quarantine into the city viii find that
they have done 50 very much to their sor-
row. The city's quarantine regula tons
should not be trifed with, he said.
No passengers on the trains were held
up at Southover yesterday. The
three parties from Brunswick who
eluded the sanitary inspectors and passed
into the city Sunday were sent down to
Fort Pulaski yesterday. Fort Pulaski is
in splendid condition for occupany by en-
forced guests and the gentlemen viii not
find their stay unpleasant, though per-
haps monotonous. All three are members

Brunswick. Two men from Brunswick,
who refused to return to that city
and who were unable to go else
where are detained at the pest house.
They would be much more comfortable
at Fort Pulaski, and it is possible they
may be sent there if they persist IN their
refusal to return TO Brunswick.
CAME IN THE BACK DOOR,
81. 80, 10
reached Savannah yesterday by an uneX-
pected route. A man named Lucas, from
Burns Ferry, arrived at Montgomery
yesterday morning in a boat with two
passengers, one with a trunk and the
other with a sailors bag. One man said
he came from Sapelo, and the other
would not say where he came
from They came into the city
on the City and Suburban railway
ported to DR.. Drummer, however, and he
started Detective Hanley out to look for
the parties. They had not been located
up to last night, however. If caught in
the city the mayor will probably make
an example of them.
Mayor McDonough has been making a
personal inspection of the streets of the
city during the last few days. He said
yesterday that he found the streets clean
and in good condition. Only two places
were found requiring attention, and the
street and lane department was ordered
TO attend TO them at once.
Owing to the continuous heavy
rains Mayor McDonough said it is
almost impossible to prevent the accumu-
lation Of water on the unpaved streets,
but the trouble on this score IS not as
great as might have been expected on
account Of the continued heavy rains. and
the street and lane department is drain
ing and grading the places where water
accumulates as fast as possible.
BETTER THAN IT WAS YEAR AGO.
The mayor says the city is undoubtedly
in better condition than it was year ago.
The house-to-house inspection by the
sanitary inspector has accomplished a
great deal and the nuisances in the way
of bad odors arising from cellars
of business houses and back
yards of private premises which were
so much complained of last summer are
not near so noticeable this summer.
There IS undoubtedly room for improve
ment in the condition of private premises,
however, and for this reason Mayor Nc
DOnough has increased the force of sani-
tary inspectors since the beginning of the
yellow fever scare, and a strict house-to-
house inspection viii be made throughout
the city. Householders who do not wish
to get on the docket win do well to at
tend 10 their premises before the sanitary
inspector calls.
A complaint book has been established
at the clerks Office at the city exchange
and any person knowing of the existence
of any nuisance in the shape of neglec-
ted yards, cesspools, drains, filthy streets
or lanes, vacant lots OvergrOwn with
weeds or anything that may be con
sidered nuisance TO health is invited to
enter a complaint upon this work. This
is not docket book and the owners of
premises complained of are not placed
upon the docket unless they refuse to
comply with the order OF the mayor to
put their premises in good condition The
complaint is merely intended for the in
formation of the sanitary authorities and
Is investigated by an inspector
before any action is taken
against the parties complained Of
In fact 1t is not necessary to give name
of owners but merely to state the loca-
tion Of the nuisance complained Of.
USE THE COMPLAINT BOOK.
Mayor McDonough says it viii be a
great aid to the work of the sanitary iu-
spectors if everyone knowing of any
TO health will take the trouble
TO call at the exchange and
enter notice Of the fact upon
the complaint book
A force of hands has been at work
cutting down the weeds on the vacant lots
for the last ten days.
The street cleaning force has been in
creased by the addition OF hands taken
from other departments and is actively at
work. Mayor McDonough says he is de
termined that the city shall be made as
clean as possible and put in the best posi-
bic condition, so as to offer the least invi-
tatlOn TO disease of any kind.
The steamer Bellevue, which arrived up
TO the city from quarantine late Sunday
night, brought no passenges from Bruins
wick. Capt. Garnett did not know any
thing about the fever when he left Bruins
wick early Saturday afternoon, as it had
not then been announced The Bellevue
was thoroughly fumigated at quarantine
before she was allowed up. She will run
hereafter only to Darien until the quar-
antine is lifted. The steamers Hessie and
Corinne. running between Darieu and
Brunswick, are shut in at Brunswick
having been sent back by the Darien
quarantine.
