Vicksburg, Miss, Sept. IA special
from Nitta Youma this evening says that
Nat Coleman is better and ate hearty
breakfast this morning. The Vicksburg
board of health at a meeting this evening
declined to declare quarantine against
the outside world, as recommended by the
board of trade and some 200 citizen pc
titioDers, and proceeded to rescind its ac-
ton forbidding trains to enter from the
south and east. Under its present ruling
trains will be permitted to enter from Mer-
idian and passengers from non-infected
points may come if properly certificated.
The Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Rail
way will take off its night trains south Of
this city and will be permitted to run
trains between Wilson and Vicksburg. All
trains will be inspected rigidly and quaran-
tine stations will be established on both
roads. The governor has been asked to
furnish tents, the best that can be done for
persons so unfortunate as to be quaran-
tined. 1t may be seen that the present
is no time for travelling through here by
persons not absolutely sure of their status.
