BRUNSWICK, Ga, Oct. 1O.-Nine new
cases OF yellow fever were officially re-
ported to-day, only one OF which was
white. The recapitulation shows 81
cases under treatment; discharged, Sc;
died, il. Total, 1877. Ratio of mortal
ity, SO per cent. The death record ia
correct and cannot by any reason be dis
puted and proves conclusively the skill
of Brunswick's practicing physicians.
The Morning News correspondent re-
iterates the statement wired several
times previously that there are more
cases of yellow fever in Brunswick than
appear On the official report. A careful
investigation by practlcing physicions
among Brunswick's colored population
will bring to light from 6fty to seventy
i've cases Of yellow fever now listed as
malarial.
The cause for this is easy explained.
Doctors Blair and West, two colored
physicians, are employed by Surgeon
Murray hunting the sick among their
race. In addition to these, Chas. A.
Clark, well-known and very reputable
colored citizen is employed by Surgeon
Murray as temporary government sani-
tary inspector. These three me do not
report to the health board but to Sur
geon Murray the day following their
search.
Surgeons Murray and FACET, in addi-
ton to visiting the white patients daily,
make the rounds of all the patients the
colored sanitary inspectors have listed.
Surgeon Murray's enforced absence from
Brunswick in surro inding towns for the
past several days has prevented these
colored sick from having their cases pos
itively diagnosised and tho consequence
is there are now over 100 colored pa
tients listed by the three inspectors as
malarial fever
A peculiar feature of Dr.. Davis re-
port, however, is that he never reports
any cases OF yellow fever He has n
large and growing list OF patients classed
as malarial. This feature OF his reports
and the peculiar predicament the
colored inspectors are placed in by Dr.
Murray's enforced absence has aroused
the health board to action. Realizing
the condition of affairs, Colonel
Goodyear today made q mo-
ton, which was carried, that
committee of three, consisting of
President Hugh Buriord Drs. J. Dun
woody and A. j. Butts. be appointed to
Investigate the matter and accept the
invitation of DR.. Davis some days ago
rendered the board, or any member of
it, to visit his patients and ascertain
whether any mistake had been made in
the diagnosis of the cases now being
treated by him and the three sanitary
inspectors. In addition the committee
were instructed to confer with Surgeon
Murray in the same line.

DISCUSSING THE GEORGIA CENTRAL
Arguments Heard Before the Supreme
Court Yesterday,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 Associate Judge
Jackson to-day heard argument in
branch of the litigation over the
Georgia Central railroad, which has at
tracted the attendance of attorneys and
others interested in enough numb ers to
MI the consultation room of the Supreme
Court, where the proceedings were held
Inc matter at issue was the conten-
ton OF the Southwestern Railroad Com
pany OF Georgia, whose property is leased
to the Georgia Central, that it is not liza
Bile as principle upon an issue of five
million tripartite bonds signed by the
georgia Central, the Macon and West.
cru ana the Southwestern; that in this
matter it (the outhwestern) simply
loaned its credit to the Georgia Central
and became accommodation endorser for
II; ana that therefore, although the
mortgage executed to secure the bonds
covers its property, the property of the
Georgia Central should first be exhausted
in payment of the debts
The attorneys for the Georgia Central
and for the bondholders, or SON of them
antagonize this condition, claiming that
the property of the Southwestern Com.
pany is liable for the mortgage debt
equally with that of the Central Com
pany AND that the relation of principal
and surety discussion does not exist be-
tween the Central and Southwestern
Companies.
Last June Judge Jackson held that
the Southwestern Company was liable
with the Central as co.makers of the
mortgage and not as surety only. The
present proceeding is based upon an
application for q modification of that
decree so that the property OF the Geor-
gia Central should be sold and applied
to the payment of the tripartite bonds
before any property of the Sou ives tern
Company is sold.

The people of Muncie are deserving of
the deepest sympathy for the affection un-
der which they now suffering. The ex-
tent of the smallpox scourge is due, with
out doubt, to the mistaken course of the
local physicians, in trying to conceal the
true nature of the disease in its first out
break in the hope that 1t would be sup
pressed without publicity. and to the
almost criminal behavior of citizens who
refused to obey orders Of the Health Board
after being infected by the malady. But
the majority Of the people are not at fault,
though equal sufferers with the rest from
the injury done to business by the spread
of the plague, and from the cessation of
social intercourse, and they are greatly to
be ccnmiserated. Now that the disease
seems to be under control the quarantine
which has voluntarily established itself
will soon be done away with, and traffic
with the outside world be resumed. The
fear of smallpox is largely an unnecessary
one, and can only be overcome by the
strictest enforcement of sanitary regula-
tons and the removal Of patients to a
place beyond danger of contagion. If this
had been done with the first cases discov-
cred in the town, no alarm or panic would
have resulted, and business would not
have been disturbed. Muncie's experience
should serve as warning to other towns
where cases OF the disease occur.
