None Of the Cases Now Under Treat
ment Of a Dangerous Type.

The Slight Increase in the Number
ofNew Cases Attributed to the Re-
turn Of Warmer Refugees
Urged Not to Return Until Notified
That it is Safe For Them to Do So.
Frost Not Expected Before the Last
of the Month.
Brunswick, Ca, Nov. 2.-F'ourteen new
cases of fever were reported to-day
eleven of which are whites, as follows:
Ellen Gelow, William Gelow. Bertha
Hegrin, relapse, Eva Poore. Mrs. NJ w.
Mock, Edith Ferguson, Alex. J. Skipper,
Nathan f. Skipper, Grin Douglas, Nita
Mattair and Elizabeth Drake.
The three new colored patients are Ed.
Dickerson, relapse, NJ. H Hall, relapse,
and Christopher Short.
Eight patients were discharged, five of
them being whites, as follows: Mrs.
Vale, Horace Greenfield. Manuel Mitchell,
Mary Hendricks and Minnie Cox.
The three colored patients discharged
are Mrs. Currie, DIR. C. A. Blair and
George G. Platt.
No deaths occurred to-day. None of
the patients now under treatment are
dangerously ILL.,
The increase in new cases was expected
1t is the natural result of the semi-Cold
and then typical Indian summer weather
of the few days past. Those who have
expected an early frost forget that it
never falls here before Nov Is, and often
times Lot before Dec. l. This year seems
to be an off year for Brunswick, and frost
is not now looked for before the last of
November.
The ratio of mortality and good condi-
ton of the sick is the only favorable sign
in sight.
Efforts are being made to keep the refu-
gees away until all danger is over and
their houses have been disinfected. The
health board to-day discussed the advisa-
bility Of requesting railroads to return
all refugees who are properly identified
at reduced rates. Hundreds of refugees
are reduced, financially, to such an extent
that such action would prove a blessing
WARNING TO REFUGEES.
In order to thoroughly disinfect Bruns-
wick, the health board. to-day issued the
following address to refugees. which in
sures proper attention given all property
turned over by them:
10 the Citizens Of Brunswick Ca, Now Alb
sent From the City: The board of health, in
spired by deep sense of the importance Of
the subject, earnestly requests all citizens
with their families TO remain away from the
city until notified by the board and Surgeon
Murray, executive officer of the marine hos
pital service in charge, that it is safe to re-
turn. The restrictions which have been in
force are still in force and wisely in force.
Let no one in their natural anxiety to return
to their homes be misled by the reduction in
the mum er of cases The poison. whatever
it may be, is still here. Possibly the reason
why those now here who have never had the
fever do not take 1t as readily as at first is be-
cause they have been exposed in this atmos-
phere so long as to be less suscep-
tible. However, this may be,
experience in past epidemics demonstrates
that the early return of persons who have not
been in the epidemic atmosphere invites its
attack, often fatal, and has tendency to re-
create serious epidemic conditions. We have
an object lesson In two families which sue
ceeded IN evad1ng the quarantine. Helpless
members of the family who were not respon-
siole for the evasion of the quarantine regu-
latiOaS SiCkened and died
There has teen no frost. It does not seem
likely that there will be until the 18th to the
goth Of November, either from present indica-
tlons or past experience. Many of or own
citizens have had cause to remem Der the evil
effect Of too early return upon the part Of
those away from home in the epidemic of 1876
in this city. In the meantime. any who have
left their homes without custodians can. by
sending their keys to this board, tagged with
their names have their homes aired and
placed In proper condition for the safe reCep-
ton of their families, under the direction Of
Mr.. j, p. Harvey sanitary superintendent Of
this city.
The shipping record of Brunswick for
October is surprising for month when
the city was in the clutches of q pesti-
Ieuce. Fifteen vessels sailed with car
goes-twO steamships, ten SchOOners, one
brig, one bark and one barkentine. Four
Of these sailed for foreign and eleven for
American ports, The foreign exports
foot up S49S,073, and the coast wise S31,
239, making total for the month of 1863,
3l2. The total tonnage of VeSselsR sailing
during the month is 10 255. and of vessels
arriving l4,353. a feet of seven barks is
coming to be loaded by the Downing Com
pany.
NO NEW CASES AT JEsUP.
Jesnp, Ca. Nov. mo new cases were
reported to-day.
Three patients were discharged, the
Misses Wilkins and Morton Tindall leav-
ing four under treatment, all of whom
VIII probably be discharged in two or
three days. A large influx of people was
expected under the new orders to return
thlS morning, but owing to the unusual
warmth Of the day good many of them
ree0nSltGred their determination, and re-
mained out until the arrival OF another
coId wave. The inspector has taken par
ucular pains to see that in the case of
every returning family the house to
which they 60 is thoroughly fumigated,
ana also to make them understand that
while they are allowed to come in at their
o"h risk. yet the moment they cross the
guard Line they become subject to the
Quarantine laws and will not be permit
Yea 10 leave again. 1t is supposed that
lAls order is the cause of the nOn-ap-
PeaFance of some.
