NEW TREATMENT.
At meeting of the health board to-day
a petition was presented, signed by thirty
three people, requesting them TO allow
the agents Of now treatment for yellow
fever to make trials. The petition was
received and tabled The board will ex-
ercise no power in keeping the new treat
ment from being applied to those who de-
sire it, but will not receive or recognize
reports from those treating patients 9th
er than regular physicians.
Advices received to-day indicate that
Is carloads of provisions have left New
York for Brunswick's relief commissary.
Surgeon Murray was hurriedly sum
moned to-day from Brunswick to Camp
Detention by Surgeon Geddings, to ar
range for enforcing the camp laws. IL is
understood here that some Norwegian
sailors who are there refused to obey or
ders.
The cheering news on fever cases to-day
have frightened up the people consdera-
bly,. Fhesweather to-day was fair and
warm. kTo-night IL is cooler, with frosty
tinge.
PosT-MoRTEM EXAMINATIONS.
Surgeon Murray held post mortems on
both cases reported as dead from yellow
fever to day, and pronounces them ma
laria. The attending physicians were
doubtful of the disease, and requested
that an autopsy be held.
The fever is becoming of a more pro-
nounced malarial type and is producing
some interesting studies for medical men.
Autopsies in the interest Of science are
held, but Surgeon Murray never holds a
post m0rtem on any one without first get
ting permission from the subject before
death occurs, or from relatives or close
friends after death. He never trans
crosses the right Of any one in this mat
ter.
THE TROUBLE AT THE CAMP.
Camp Detention, Ca, Oct. 2s.-An in
vestigatiou tonight at Camp Detention of
the trouble with the inmates discloses
the fact that they were admitted on the
proviso that they paid board, Surgeon
Murray agreeing to let them leave their
ship and get out on that basis. Other
wise he would have compelled them to
remain on their ship, where they would
have been fed They now refuse to pay
board. Their cases will be disposed Of in
some way tomorrow.
Mrs. Goddings is at the camp with Sur
geon Geddings. and her pleasant dispOsi-
tion aids materially in helping the
officials to while away the monotony of
camp life.
DR.. Bowen, medical editor of the New
10TH " OILls dIIlNCu db camp bD-QdB. 4O-
morrow he will proceed to Brunswick and
spend some time investigating the situa-
tion.
DR.. A. w. Athey, Of Washington city,
is q new addition 10 the Camp Detention
forces, and is working admirably with
Surgeon Geddings.
THE CAMP AT NIGHT.
Surgeon Geddiugs' discipline is per-
feet. At night the camp presents an in
teresting scene. An immense bonfire
burns in the center Of the camp nightly,
while around the guard lines the pickets
pass to and fro, with muskets over their
shoulders, and as erect as soldiers.
The rows of tents, three deep, are
arranged in a large square. With
lanterns inside, people moving in and out,
groups of men sitting and standing around
discussing different subjects, mothers
coaxing children TO sleep, boys and girls
rOmping about and the passing back aud
forth of the armed inner guards, make up
a picture not often seen. The sight Of
the hospital building and tents in the dis
taut woods guides one TO the doors.
One patient is under treatment, but his
case is not yellow fever, and he is only
slightly i'll.
TWO NEW CASES AT JEsUP.
Jesup, Ga. Oct. 2s.-TwO new cases
were officially reported to-day-Miss Kate
wilkins and Morton Tindall
One patient was scharged-Postmas-
ter X. w. Tindall. A recapitulation fol-
lows
Number Of cases to date, 30.
Discharged, 10.
Died, 3.
Under treatment Z.
Percentage of deaths, 1879.
This percentage will undoubtedly be
lowered, inasmuch as probably all the
cases under treatment will terminate IA
vorably.
Rain began to fall last night. 10 the de-
light Of all, and IL was fully expected
that the weather this morning would be
much colder, but unfortunately the
clouds swept rapidly away and the tenn
perature this morning was only a fcw de-
grecs lower than that Of yesterday We
are encouraged. however, by the notice in
the MOnsING NEWS Of a cold wave ap-
preaching from the northwest.
