of Mobile, some five miles Northwestern
ly to the Mississippi line so as TO pre-
vent an absolute embargo against Mo-
bilians penetrating by land into the in
terror of Alabama. This trocha is un-
der the charge of w. ii. Sandars, state
health officer and is guarded continu-
ously.
Some 200 people from this city started
out into the country this morning, IN
tending to take refuge with the farmers
living from ten to fifteen miles out.
They encountered the guard at the
trocha on the Maffatt road and were
stopped there. At 6 o'clock most OF the
immigrants were still there in the open
air, fearing to return to the city and
not able to go further.
The governor today wired the board of
health permission to use the Mount Vernon
reservation for camp of detention and
the marine hospital service will strain
every nerve in getting the camp ready at
once 1t is proposed that people desiring
to get away from the infected city be
taken to this camp and there detained un,,
til found free from the germs and passed
out with clean bills of health.
This will be God-send to many people.
The marine hospital perfected its train. of
inspection service today by appointing
Doctors Lea, Ward and Campbell as in
Green as active alternatives. The object
of the INSPECTION is to see that the trains
are passed out of the Alabama
and Mississippi upper lines with
good condition of health. All sick people
found on trains will be placed in detention
camps. This inspection is under the di-
rection of Surgeon A. III. Glennon. Ihe,
people here are still in great panic and all
are leaving who can, although experienced

quiet the alarm by showing that the levcr

Efforts Being Made to Bring Bridge
DestrOyers to Justice.

Jackson, Miss, Sept 1S.-The follow
ing proclamation was issued today by
Mayor Wharton, bearing upon the de-
struction of the Alabama and Vicks-
burg culvert early this morning.: ..
1--WE regret to announce that lawless
parties last night destroyed a bridge
of the Alabama and Vicksburg Railroad
company two miles west of Jackson. We
sincerely trust that none of our citi-
Zens were engaged in such act of law
lessness, and we desire to state that we
are taking steps to bring the guilty par
ties to justice, and should they be To-
Gated they will be dealt with by impos-
ing the severest penalty known to the
law. We call on all good citizens to
unite with us in upholding our laws, and
we intend that no violation of law shall
90 unpublished if we can fix the guilt.
1--WE will this evening swear in num-
Der of special officers to uphold the law
and ask that at least twelve men vol
unteer their services as special officers
during the quarantine.
1--WE wish to assure the railroad COM
panies that we will do all in our power
to protect their property within our Dor
ders, but that we can not go beyond the
city limits. We think that our friends
in the country should see that the trans
portation lines are protected In every
way and that no lawlessness be allowed
in their respective communities. Should
we permit violations of the law there is
no telling where they would end: and we
call on all officials and law-abiding citi-
Zcns to see that the law is firmly up
held and that the evil-doers are pun
ished for every crime or misdemeanor.
