,NINsPECTION OF ATLANTA.
Charleston Sends a Yellow Fever
expert to Atlanta to Investigate.

Atlanta. Ca, Sept. 23.-Charleston is
after making an inspection of Atlanta to
sec whether she has any yellow fever con-
eeaIed upon her person. If it is finally
decided that she has not, the Old city by
tbe sea may then let up some on her quar-
antne.
DR.. William c. Ravenel arrived in the
ci-v this morning as the representative of
the Charleston municipality with letters
from the mayor and council of the city,
saving he had been appointed to represent
the ~ on a tour of Investigation, to look
into the condition of things here in regard
10 the yellow fever scare.
Dr. Ravenel called on Mayor Collier and
had a long talk with him concerning The
outlook and expressed himself as being
satisfied that the authorities of Atlanta
were doing all in their power, and taking
every needful precaution for the protec-
non of the people of the city. DIR. Rave
mel is an eminent physician and familiar
with the yellow fever subject, and he will
make a thorough investigation of the
methods adopted by the health authori-
ties here in preventing the spread of the
disease So far he is very favorably i'm
pressed with the appearance of things
around Atlanta, and will probably report
back that so long as the wind does not
blow in that direction there is little dan
ger of Charleston becoming contaminated
bv this city.

Little Fun Of His own.
Fernandina, Fla, Sept. 28.-The Spanish
representatives and spies never give any
vessel that Col N. B. Borden has any
thing to do with a go by, although Col.
Borden is in the shipping business, and
has good many vessels come to this
port consigned to him as he ships a good
many cargoes of lumber, both from here
and Jacksonville.
The schooner S. B. Hubbard arrived here
few days ago from New York, loaded
with salt in sacks and barrels. and pull
ed into Center street dock to discharge a
part of her cargo
Yesterday the vessel opened up her
matches and work was started in discharg
ing her cargo, but il had not been going
on long before Consul Carreo made his
appearance. Capt. Mehaffey of the Hub
bard, knowing Senior Carreo, asked him
aboard, and he had not been on the vessel
long before Capt. Mehaffey was question
ed about his cargo.
The captain was of course, very eau
tous in what he said, and led the repre-
sentative to believe the cargo was not
made up wholly of salt, but that other
goods were in her hold, and to substan-
tlate TINS ne showed Senior Carreo some
of the barrels In the vessel This excited
the consul so that his secret service men
have been watching the vessels night and
day and after the number of sacks which
were to be discharged at Center street
dock was finished this afternoon and the
matches were closed, leaving part of the
cargo aboard. The Spanish spies thought
they had located a large quantity of arms
and ammunition destined for Cuba
To make the paSp T11Dre f1lauetnIa Can,
Mehaffey issued orders that no one be
allowed aboard his vessel, which excited
the spies so much that it is said that the
consul notified the officials and his gov

Carefully prepared estimates of the inju-
ry done to the tobacco crop in this section

two nights, show that at least 80 per cent
of the crop has been killed, and that much
damage has been done to the remainder

There was an advance of 81 yesterday
