RUSH AT THE HEALTH OFFICE.
Health officer Brunner's office was
crowded yesterday all day with people
seeking health certificates. Over 100 GER
tiicates were issued.
Quite party of Savannah people who
left the city Saturday night TO spend
Sunday elsewhere were held up at Mel
drim yesterday morning as they were re-
turning home. The Savannahians,
among whom were several prom
inent citizens, were compelled to
leave their berths in the early dawn
by Inspector Lufborrow and disembark
at the station. There were kicks without
number, of the most widely variegated
kind, but without effect. The inspector
no explanations could be made, or proofs
offered that would satisfy him. A tele-
gram was sent by member
of the party to DR.. Drummer
relating the facts and an answer was
promptly received stating that he had
ordered their admission. The party
came into the city on the shoo-hy, fully
convinced that Savannah's quarantine
is being maintained at all hazards.
SUPPLIES FOR CAMP HAINEs.
DR.. Coter, marine hospital surgeon at
Savannah, received an order last
night to ship 100 cauteens and
200 towels to Camp Haines at once. An
effort was made to send the articles off
last night, but it was too late They will
be sent to-day.
w. L. Penning, a motorman on the
Electric railway, was before the recorder
yesterday morning charged with spread
ing false reports of the existence Of
fever in Savannah. Certain reports
which were afioat on the street, were fin
ally chased down until Penning was
reached. As he was unable to name the
person who gave him the information, he
was arrested and brought before the po-
lice court. He was first given the alter
native of paying a heavy fine or leaving
town at once, bnt subsequently the mayor
decided to continue the case until to-day.
