Brother Symphorian died at = o'clock
this afternoon ut the Industrial gardens
on Lafayette street. The board report
ut noon today states that there are two
boys in the Industrial gardens suffering
from fever, but does not announce their
cases as yellow fever. 1t is understood,
however, that such is the nature OF the
-t.I., nrE Nf
disease goes on increasingly. The whole
fever infected district has been cleaned
and disinfected, the yards, sinks and
drains, streets and cutters and the dis-
tricts adjacent are now receiving ike
careful treatment. Communication with
the houses where there is fever is stop
ped so far as it Is possible to do so,
where the are so many places TO sualu;
If isolation and disinfectants will avail
there is nothing the board can do that
will be left undone to stop the fever's
further advance. The only serious over
sight 80 far was in letting the
teachers of st. Vincent school, in the
infected district. move to the Indus
trial gardens. This was done before
there was an embargo in force such az
now prohibits people from moving out OF
the infected districts into other parishes
of the city These teachers left on the
Doth. the day before Father Murray
was taken sick in the reetory of st.
Vincents. They did not visit the rec
tory, but they had been sleeping In the
house next door, and 1t now seems that
they have been the instrument OF es-
tablishing a new foci OF intectioh Oh
Lafayette street.
The exodus, so-called. has apparently
come to a standstill. But four passen-
gers left on the Mobile and Ohio this
afternoon. and more than half dozen
on the Louisville and Nashville this
morning. The expense of carrying on
the quarantine here is bearing heavily
on the city and county. The authori-
ties recognizing that the quarantine for
the protection of the state at large
from the further introduction of fever
from Mississippi think that this ex-
pense should be borne by the state. Ac.
cordingly the mayor, the president OF
the board of health and the president
of the council have joined In telegram
to the governor asking that the state
maintain the quarantine here against
the places outside the state under the
direction of the health officers OF the
city and county No reply has yet beeh
received.
Tn view of the existence of the camp
of detention at :Fontainbleu, Miss, ana
the approaching establishment OF
similar camp at Mount Vernon. Ala.
the hoard here has decided that 1t will
receive no more people at the boards
camp at Grand Bay who desire to pass
through the detention for the purpose
of obtaining health certificates, but only
persons who are seeking to enter Mobile
from outside infected districts.
The paraphernalia for the camp at
Mt. Vernon left Atlanta today. The
camp will he ready the latter part OF
this week. Indian summer Is prevailing
in this locality the sun shining through
n haze. but with great intensity OF heat.
The nightfall Is exceedingly sultry. but
by 8 y. m. the temperature changes
radically and later becomes quite com'
so that heavy bed covering is required.
This weather Is regarded as peculiar
" bad for the sick, and the record
seems to show that it increases the ac-
tivity of the infection.
