MONTGOMERY RESTRICTIONS
Many Passengers in the City Desiring to Go on to Memphis-Numbered Among Them Are Several
 Soldiers Going Home.

The discontinuance of two passenger trains by the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad was one of the de- velopments of the quarantine in Alabama yesterday.
 Train No. 9, due to leave Birmingham for Memphis at 12:1O D. m. yesterday, did not leave, and will not do so until fur ther orders. Neither did train No. l, due to arrive at 355 p. m., come in from Mem phis. It was also discontinued. Both of these trains run locally and Memphis is shut up so tight that it is considered no longer profitable to run them. The Southern railroad has also discontin- ued a number of it's passenger trains on the Memphis and Charleston division, as has the Illinois Central and other roads entering Memphis.
 Compelled to Lay Over
 There were about thirty people who were compelled to lay over in Birmingham, be- ing unable to get to their homes in Mem phis, or to go on through to points on the other side Many of them were soldiers from Jacksonville going home on fur loughs They besieged the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham office all day and Travelling Passenger Agent Charley Jones was kept busy trying to arrange their transportation. A number of them bound for Texas and other western points were sent through on the Southern last night by way of Shreveport, La.
 Montgomery is also keeping up very rigid quarantine. No train is permitted to stop in the city that has on it a passenger that has within the past ten days been In anv of the infected districts.
 The trains however, are permitted to stop at the Fair Grounds, where uninfected passengers are transferred to another train which takes them into the city. There are three quarantine officers employed by the city of Montgomery to run on the Louis vile and Nashville, between that city and Birmingham. Here are some of the ques- tions they compel each passenger to swear to in writing.
 oIiaye you been in Grenada county, Marshall county, Yalabusha county, Lafay- ette county, Calhoun county, Taliahatcaie county, Panola county, Tate county, MISS; Key Vest Fla; Galveston, Tex; St. Marys Parish, La.; New Orleans, La.?" Have you to your knowledge been ex- posed to yellow fever in the past ten days?"
 They are just as strict on all of the other roads entering the Capital City. The Central of Georgia railroad, and the Southern, west of Columbus, Miss, have been compelled to cease carrying passen- gers on their freight trains, because the states cannot afford to have quarantine of- ficers on all the freight trains. There is no objection made to the freight trains themselves running, even by Memphis, pro- vided they do not come directly from an infected district
 Meridian, Miss, is also running little quarantine system of its own and its o1h- cers inspect all the trains entering the city. They board the southbound Alabama Great Southern trains at York, Ala.
 Quarantine Officer Steve Wiggins, who. was in the city yesterday. is the authority for the statement that Alabama has raised the quarantine against New Orleans
