WASHINGTON, ID. c.. September 20
Cspecial.)-The greatest Generalization In
the transmission and delivery Of the
mails. consequent upon the yeilow-feyer
scare, prevails throughout the South ana
bankers and businessmen are daily teie-
graphing the Post-Ofiice Department for
relief. A telegram from the Superintend-
ent OF Railway Mali Service at Atlanta
to-day says:
"The health authorities at Montgomery
have quarantined Atlanta, and demand
that all mail from Atlanta. and passing
through Atlanta for Montgomery, be fu-
migated They refuse positively to let
clerks run through Montgomery In cars
with windows down and doors shut.
making deliveries or stops. They allow
through passengers TO be taken through
i'm this way. but when asked why clerks
cannot do so, answer that they decline
to discuss sanitary measures with this
office
Cannot the department take such ac-
tion as will compel the Montgomery city
authorities TO afford the same privileges
to mail-cars and clerks as are given 10
through passengers? Cars leaving At
lanta are fumigated. Must / fumigate
mails from here? This order proceeds
from city and not a State board OF
health. Service between here and New
Orleans is paralyzed at present. Would
like answer as soon as possible"
A later telegram says: THE outlook is
decidedly bad this morning Montgomery
quarantined against Atlanta, and shut
out clerks and mail from Atlanta. ana
also from New orleans. About dozen
of our clerks are in quarantine. Have
divided Atlanta and Macon line on Ma
con. taking two clerks from Macon and
Birmingham, and assigned to line Macon
to Montgomery. Very difficult TO find
clerks outside of Atlanta for service out
of Montgomery. We sent three clerks 10
Montgomery last week. with assurances
that they would be protected. They are
now I'm a quarantine pen. Trains to Meri-
dian and Shreveport abandoned. Bridge
west of Jackson burned and two clerks IN
quarantine. Aberdeen and Durant trains
reduced to tri-weekly. Many lines are
reducing train service. Montgomerys
quarantine gives us more trouble than
any other point Atlanta Is free from
fever"
Another telegram is as follows:
FORT WORTH TEN, September 19.-
All Southern Pacific passenger trains an
nulled between Lafayette, La, and
Orange. Tex. | fully expect that the en-
tire New Orleans and Marshall line Will
be closed down. Have instructed that no
mail for the East or North be sent
through New Orleans or Vicksburg. Mails
from East for Texas should not enter
from points further south than Mem
phis."
A telegram from Opelousas. La. TO the
Second Assistant Postmaster-General,
signed by the Mayor three bankers, and
an editor. says: For several days we
have had no mail from New Orleans, or
any other point East or West. No qua
rantine regulations stopping mails. Can
not you give us some relief?'
