THE WORLDS RELIEF TRAIN.
The following telegram was received
this afternoon from the World after the
meeting hour of the relief committee ana
viii be read to them tomorrow: The
decision as to the distribution of relief
supplies was reached after a conference
with Col. Haines and on advice Of DIR.
Bowen. The fund was not raised for
Brunswick alone. but for Brunswick and
the sea islands. This was our announce
ment." Brunswick based her with
drawalsOf the appeal for aid on the assur-
ance Of DR.. Bowen in the presence of the
relief committee, Surgeon Murray
the MORNING News correspondent that
the portion of the New York relief
train intended for Brunswick would con-
sist of ten carloads of provisions and sup
plies, among them being 500 blankets.
With this amount Of supplies assured by
a staff cOrresp ondent, Brunswick did not
believe il Just 10 receive any more cOntri-
buttons from the country at large. For
what has already been sent and is en-
route Brunswick is thankful and appreci-
alive. Her people will not again appeal
for aid but viii endeavor to distribute
the charitable gifts from generous pub
lie in manner to permit no suffering.
The gentleman quoted today, regard
ing the ''Woodmen of the World" matter,
says an error was made by the CORE
spoudent in stating that he could get no
health certificate He says that he can
get Il health certificate and be reinstated
by the lodge but the amount assessed for
reinstating members is so large that aban-
donment of the entire scheme would
rove better for him.
REPORTED SICK AFTER HE WAS WELL.
Surgeon FACETS reporting j. A. Mont
gomery, ticket agent Of the Brunswick
anu w CSltIH IOdtls DIS 5lCh WIN yellow
fever to-day looked rather queer to the
public, in view of the fact that Montgom-
cry was first visited by him five days ago,
anU to-day two hours before he was re
pOroed as sick. Montgomery appeared on
the streets apparently well and hearty
The people do not understand such re
ports All the physicians, both local and
visiting, are hOuOr-bOund to report their
cases promptly, and Surgeon FACETS
seemingly fragrant violation of this agree
ment is receiving severe censure. In the
first part Of Srunswick's epidemic Sur
geon Guiteras charged a local physician
with cOnceaIing cases, and, by so doing,
permitting people unwarned to run into
danger. AS Montgomery was sick at the
Eour-mile crossing, where a colony of
Brunswick refugees are located, the non
reporting of his case prevented those l!v-
ing near from avoiding the infected spot.
THE SURGEON EXPLAINS.
Surgeon FACET was seen by the MORN
ING NEWS correspondent tonight at the
Marine hospital headquarters and in
formed that he was charged with con-
cealing MontgOmery's case. He denied
that such was true, and said in substance:
'MOntgOmery's case was so light that |
had dimculty in diagnosing it. l exam
ined his symptoms carefully each day,
and not until yesterday discovered the
signs needed TO complete the diagnosis
for yellow fever. / would not report any
case until was satisfied. l included
MOntgOmery's name in my report to-day.
Tomorrow l will discharge him"
Mr.. SMITHS MANAGER ILL.
Commissary Manager Joseph w. Smith
received a telegram from Jacksonville to-
day informing him of the alarming illness
of his mother. Having had the fever.
Surgeon Murray provided him with an
" 90 nd and a avyfs dot
ton at camp Tor fumigation purposes, he
will be allowed to proceed to Jacksonville.
Brunswick sympathizes with MIR. Smith
and MS brother in their distress. His
brother }. D., never having had the fever
was not allowed to leave Brunswick.
NEGROES WORK A SCHEME.
The negroes are working all manner of
schemes TO obtain money and avoid work
Their latest is to hold a meeting and APP
point committee to wait upon certain
men in the morning and inform them that
a mass meeting had been held the night
before and they as a committee, were ap-
pointed to inform the person waited upon
that he had been selected as a candidate
for mayor. Later individual members of
the committee visit the supposed candi-
date and apply for a loan of few dollars
Several citizens were approached in this
manner, and some are now thinking they
will be run for mayor, backed by the col
Ored element. As the mayors election
will not be held until December 1894 the
thinness of the scheme was seen through
by many
THE SITUATION AT JESUP UNCHANGED. .
Jesup, Ga, Nov. 9.-The situation re-
mains unclouded still, but there are, I'M
fortunately. no hopes of relief from quar-
antine restrictions. DR.. Lincoln received
this morning a telegram from Surgeon
Murray, in answer TO repeated solic-
itations, saying that he (Sur-
geon Murray was awaiting infor-
nation from Washington. This I'M
satisfactory news, coupled with
the long delayed payment of the wages
due those employed III the quarantine
service, created a good deal of dissatis-
faction, not so much on account Of the
laXity of the government paymasters as
on account of the fact of the town being
without a case of yellow fever for five
days, and no new cases having developed
for the past twelve days All thinking
people are unable to understand why, at
this late season of the year, and over
ten days having elapsed without a new
case, the government does not free us from
the irAsome burden of a protective quar-
anime. 1t certainly can not be for the
purpose of protecting other cities as we
have no fever here and it hardly can be
possible that it is expected to keep out
slderS from coming in, for all those who
