PIrAL AUTHORITIES DENY THAT THERE
WAS ANY CARELEssNEss.
Edward B. Foote, fifty years old, who has been
employed as an entry clerk at Bellevue Hospital
during the last four or five years, was talen
from the hospital on Wednesday to North Brother
Island, suffering from typhus fever. When or
where he contracted the disease no one in the
hospital could tell last night. He came In con-
tact with forty lone men, all Of whom were either
clerks, stretcher-carriers, other permanent EN-
ployeS of the hospital. Three Of these men slept
in cots in the same room with Foote, and four
more slept in cots in a corridor outside OF the
room These seven are quarantined in tent.
At n late hour last night none of them showed
any symptoms of typhus fever or any other dis
ease The others, who came only IN contact
with Foote, are quarantned in the old eryslpelas
ward and they, likewise. have shown no signs
of illness
II was said that Foote and the men he came
in contact with had been recently discharged from
the alcoholic ward, and were employed by the
hospital authorities at nominal wages, to act as
attendants on the sick; and that they all Slept
together in the same room. This statement was
cmphatically denied at the hospital. Assistant
Warden Rckert said last night that the men had
never been in the alcoholic ward, and that they
had not been attending any of the sick lie
said moreover that il was not customary at the
hospital to employ men discharged from the alco-
holic ward as attendants. That the Board OF
Health sent word to the hospital authorities not
TO employ, in the future, any more men as at
tandants from the alcoholic ward was stouty
denied By him 1t would have been absurd, he
said. to issue such order, as there was no
cause for il. =, -,

In jacksonville. Fla, l was told by

In the Peninsula State" continued my
informant, railroad construction is sim
ply remarkable. Up 20 a few year ago.
Florida was regarded as practically dead
so far as railroads were concerned. The
Savannah. Florida and Western at their
annual meeting recently reported that
the year just closed was specially
prosperous one and had been more pro-
fitable than any other in their history.
This was largely attributable TO the de-
cided increase in the orange crop and
the development of the Florida phosphate
mines. The receipts of the railroads
from hauling fruit and phosphate TO the
seaboard amounted 10 more than $1,000
900. People who are In a position TO
know, stated that the output OF phos-
phate during the coming year would in
crease TO 100000 tons.
Railroad building in the State is great
er than ever before. In fact, there Is
more conjunction Of this kind going on
I'm Florida now than in any other State
in the Union. II is already the only one
in the country which is doing any great
amount Of railroad building. The Dusi-
ness outlook throughout large part Of
Florida is very bright.
In Georgia it was reported that the
cotton crop was the largest and the
cheapest ever raised. Many parts Of
Georgia are suffering from the financial
troubles. Savannah has suffered con-
siderably, though this is partially caus-
ed by the disastrous floods and storms
that swept over the city during the
fall.
