from that city. The quarantine officers are getting hardened and they now go about their work like veterans. Each one has a yellow badge adorning the lapel of his coat with the words "Quar- antlne Officer inscribed thereon.
 Yesterday afternoon the southbound Louisville and Nashville passenger brought a sleeping car into this city which had been in New Orleans within l the past three days. The quarantine officers made this discovery in swearing the conductor and porter. The car was ! cut out here and sent back north with the crew. The quarantine regulations require that sleeping cars from infected districts passing through the state should have all the windows down and the doors locked. Before returning they must be fumigated and the conductor and porter are required to remain out of the state the full limit of ten days.
 Thls Alabama Great Southern railroad received @ car load of bagging from New Orleans yesterday and had begun unloading it when discovered by Capt Amerine. He ordered the bagging re- loaded and tha car sent out of the state A man whose name could not be learn ed, came in last night on the Alabama Great Southern train. He was in New Orleans about ten days ago. For seven days he has been on the road-that is, he has been travelling around In loop through Alabama and Mississippi. He couldn't stop anywhere. Every town that he reached in the quarantine cir cult turned it's hand against him. He was not even permitted to look out Of tha window but last night the car Win- dow proved his best friend, for it was by that means he gained his liberty Col. Amerine, thinking that the man had been away from the fever infected dis trict a sufficient length oi time to be safe from spreading the fever, had him locked in a car and sent to the Alabama Great Southern yards. The man LOOK advantage of his opportunity. lie stealthfly lifted the car window and dropped ito the ground and soon lost himself in the friendly darkness.
 Capt. Amerina says he is a merchant in Kennedy, Ala, and there is not the least danger that the escape" wall spread the disease. Capt. Amerlne statement was concurred in by Dr. San- ders, the state health officer.
 State Healfh Officer Sanders said last night that 1t would practically be -rn- possible for yellow fever to be introduced into Birmingham. He even went so Tar as to say that there would be no occa- sion for serious alarm if refugees whose systems were free from the disease should come 70 Birmingham from MO trle. It is the doctors emphatic oplh- ion that there is no reason for the peo- pie here to be alarmed about fever In in Mobile.

ACTING UNDER ORDERS.
New York State Democratic Committee Re-
 fuses to Endorse the Chicago Platform.

New York, Sept. 15--The democratic state committee refused today to ac- eede to the demand of the free silverites that the principles of tho Chicago plat form be reafirmed. The committee met by authorization of the democratic state candidate for chief justice of the court of appeals Alton B. Parker, of Kings ton, was the choice of the committee. The nominee is said to be acceptable to Tammany Hall and to Ex-Senator David B. Hill and his following tup the state"
 The committee engaged in some dis ciplinary work before settling down to the task for which 1t was assembled and expelled from its membership County Clerk Henry D. Purroy, who has for more than year disputed the Tammany leadership of John c. sheehan.
 The committee gave hearing to com- mittees representing the Loyal Demo- cratic league and other free silver or ganizations of the democratic party who urged the re-af1irmation Of the Chicago platform and after courteously dismissing the petitioners adjourned, no resolution pro or con having been in- troduced.
 Towards the close of the meeting Committeeman Do1son read extracts from letter written by Senator Jones, chairman of the national democratic committee, to Senator Murphy. Chair man Jones advised the committee to do nothing besides nominating a candidate for judge. He thought for the members to frame a new platform to either en- dorse or condemn the action of the Chi cago convention would lay the con- mittee open to suspicion.

the Price of Health, and the Price is Be-
 ing Paid Here.

The quarantine regulations are still being strictly enforced. Birmingham has as yet declared no local quarantine against any point, although 1t was ru- mored yesterday afternoon and last night that such action had been taken.
 In regard to the grand-stand play made by Anniston in telegra phing over the country that her gates were open to yell low fever refugees, State Quarantine Officer Amerine said: "The invitation extended by the city of Anniston to rfeugees, or to persons from districts infected with yellow fever, and the statement that its gates are ajar and yellow fever is not feared amounts to nothing, as far as the state laws are concerned. The quarantine regulations cover the entire s,ate, and no discrimi- nation will be made in favor of any city of town. Persons from the infected dis tricts will not be allowed to stop at 4Ans niston If any such persons are caught they will at once be removed from ;Ihe state"
 When questioned about Atlanta Capt. Amerine said that the state did not con- sider Atlanta infected with yellow fe- yer and consequently Ina had received no instructions in regard to passengers
