TO LIFT THE QUARANTINE.
Ii The Freeze is Hard Enough the
Fever Guard Will Be Removed.

A Heavy Frost in the Injected Terri
tory all That is Wanted-Dr. Brun-
ner as Anxious to Do Away With the
Quarantine as the Citizens Are to
Have It Done Away With-A Watch
/ to Be Kept on Brunswick and Jesup
/ All Winter.
! The present cold wave, which is now
| being felt, may have the much desired
/ effect of doing away with the quarantine,
which has been in effect now tor over
/ three months. While the services rem
| dered the city by the quarantine are fully
/ recogized, everybody has long since be-
come thoroughly tired Of it, in a way,
and the opportunity for its removal will
! be welcomed on all sides.
DIR. Drummer said yesterday that good,
hard freeze is all that is wanted now and
he will be satisfied that it is safe to re-
move the quarantine restrictions.
The only thing he is afraid of
is that the weather may not be cold
! enough to warrant such a STEP and that
this cold wave may prove as tieeting a
visitor as the last one. In which case Sa-
vannahians will have to bear with the
J@AAA a. tAAAS q " h4AC AOAASCIs
Drummer AS ANXIOUS AS ANYONE.
DR.. Bruuner is as anxious to lift the
quarantine as the citizens are to have it
lifted, and he will do go as soon as the
conditions warrant. A watch will have
to be kept upon Brunswick, he says, for
some time yet, all winter, in fact, to pre-
vent the importation to Savannah of any
thing likely to contain fever germs, which
might develop here next summer.
There is no doubt that great deal of
trade has been kept away from Savannah
by the quarantine, the greater portion of
which may be counted as dead loss to
the merchants here. A great many people
have been prevented from coming to the
city from the southeastern section of the
state on account of their fear of being
detained by the quarantine officers all
along the line of the railroads in that
section and also because many were
apprehensive of getting into yellow fever
territory.
All this will soon be at an end and the
trade from along the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway and it's tributaries
will flow in its natural channel again 1t
IS with the hope of regaining in part some
of this lost traffic that the merchants of
the city desire to run their first trade ex-
cursion along the line of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway.
SWEEP OF THE COLD WAVE.
The cold wave which has been moving
south for the last two days conferred last
in the Gulf south of Louisiana Freezing
weather was reported yesterday morning
at Atlanta, Meridian, Vicksburg, through
out Tennessee and Arkansas and in
Northern Texas, where killing frost oc-
CURED. Killing frosts were also reported
at Newman, West Point, Ca, and at Union
Springs and Marion, Ala. At Savannah
the lowest temperature yesterday morn
ing was Az. The mean for the day
was degrees below the average The
indications last night were for colder to-
day with frosts, and warmer tonight
with westerly winds. There was a fall
in temperature yesterday throughout the
lower lake region, in Ohio and Indiana,
and throughout the New England and
Atlantic states, in Middle and Eastern
Tennessee and throughout Florida. The
fall was most decided in Eastern Georgia
and in North Carolina. There is hardly
a doubt that Brunswick and Jesup will
get the freeze this morning. The coolest
weather in the country yesterday was
along Lake Erie, where mercury was
down to "a degrees
