/ DR.. Kellsr's Report of His InvestiEa-
/ tions at Helena-No Refugees There
and the Only Case Of Sickness That
of a Native-Preparation for the
Camp ct aynesville-Beaufort and
| Port Royal on Their Guard.
Quarantine matters remained rather
| quiet yesterday. The only information
| received fran Brunswick by Mayor Mo
Donough was that there were no new
cases, and the only remaining case was
| doing well.
| DR.. J. G. Keller returned yesterday
morning from Helena, where he was sent
to investigate the report of fever among
the Brunswick refugees. DR.. Keller re-
| ported that not only was there no yellow
fever at Helena, but there was nobody
there from Brunswick, either. He was
informed ahat the report that a large
number of Brunswick refugees had
| congregated there at any time was incor-
rect. The only foundation for the report
was that small parties from Brunswick
had stopped over at Helena for meals while
waiting for their trains, but none re-
manned for any length of time.
ONLY CASE OF BILIOUS FEVER.
DR.. Keller found one case of
bilious fever at Helena, the
patient being young, lady,
native of the place, who had never been
within a hundred miles of Brunswick
He was informed that a number of the
Brunswick refugees, about thirty or forty.
had scattered themselves along the Sa-
vannah and Western railroad at the
homes of friends and the inspectors at
Meldrim will be instructed TO keep a
close watch for them should any of them
attempt to come into Savannah by way of
the Central railroad.
Health Officer Drummer has been re
quested by Surgeon Magruder to get him
a bugler for the camp of detention near
WaYnesville. Things are going to be run
in strictly military style at the camp
with reveille, breakfast, dinner and sup
per calls and tattoo. The position is
good one, paying $50 month and board.
Candidates can apply at DR.. Brunners
Office at the city exchange between 10 and
ID o'clock.
Bugler Steinbach of the Fifth Georgia
Cavalry ought to fill the bill to a nicety.
He is an ex-corporal of the United States
army and has all the necessary military
training.
AT THE PEST HOUSE.
DR.. Drummer is feeding about q dozen
people at his boarding house out beyond
the Catholic cemetery, otherwise known
as the pest house. Americans, Germans,
Swedes and Spaniards are included
among the enforced guests. There is one
woman there with two children and it is
said they have not even a change of
clothing. None of those who have
been sent to the . pest house
have been released yet, and it is not
known how long they will be detained
there The bill of fare furnished is sub
stantial, but not luxurious. II is better
than most of the people who remained in
Brunswick are getting, however.
Capt. Daniels Of the steamer Alpha,
which arrived yesterday from Beaufort
and Port Royal, stated that the people of
these two places are much worked up
over the reports Of yellow fever from
Brunswick
The action of the health authorities of
Port Royal and Beaufort causes Capt.
Daniels no small worry. He has ar
ranged to take over a negro excursion
next week and without the whole party
securing health certificates he will not be
able to land He anticipates that DR.
Drummer will demur to furnishing health
certificates to several hundred excursion
lists who are only going over on two
days pleasure trip
BEAUFoRT's PROBATION.

ceived notice yesterday from Mr.. w. H.

rotary, the following resolution was
