MORE YELLOW FEVER.
Mobile In a State of Panic-TroubIe at
jackson, Miss.


The yellow fever has begun TO spread
quite rapidly at Mobile, Ala, IL new
eases being announced in one day. A
quarantine line has been drawn from
Chicasabogue creek, north of Mobile,
some five miles northwesterly to the
Mississippi line so as to present an alb
solute embargo against Mobilians pene-
trating by land into the interior of
Alabama. This trocha is guarded con-
tinuously and when some 1000 people
started out into country intending to
take refuge with the farmers, they
encountered the guards at the trocha
and were stopped there and remained
in the open air fearing to return to the
city. The people of Mobile are in a
great panic and all are leaving who
can, although experienced physicians
and the older citizens try to quiet the
alarm by showing that the fever is not
progressing with anything like old
time rapidity.
Governor Barred the State Capital.
When the rigid quarantine was es-
tablished at Jackson, which is the

was at his home at Brandon. Now he
wishes to enter the capital, but the
board of health is no respecteT of per-
sons and refused to admit him. The
scare at jackson is growing and the
people are determined not to- allow
the disease to get a foothold there.
They have torn up the tracks of the
Alabama e. Vicksburg railroad, short
distance west of the city, and also
burned the trestle on the same road
because the company refused to. run
trains through the city at the rate of
20 miles an hour. Indignation is at
fever heat and the people say that, if
necessary to compel observance of
their quarantine regulations, they will
burn every bridge between there and
Vicksburg Gov. McLaurn has or
dered out the Capital Light Guards, il
order to protect the property of the
railroads.
