QUARANTINE ron SMALLPOX.
Guards VIII Turn Back Small Craft
From Carolina Coast

The coast section of South Carolina is
making generous contribution of small
pox cases to Savannah. Several patients
are now in the Savannah pesthouse, where
they receive careful treatment and are so
isolated as to make it impossible for them
to communicate the disease to others.
All the patients are negroes, and all
either came from South Carolina or con-
tracted the disease from others who came
from that state. Not a single case, Health
officer Drummer said yesterday, came into
Savannah by rail. The boats and sloops
that come from the South Carolina sea
islands have brought in the disease.
Smallpox is raging in some of the coast
localities of South Carolina. There are
a great many negroes in Beaufort county,
and 1t is among their race that the dis
ease is most malignant and prevalent.
Efforts will be made to put curb upon
the influx of smallpox cases from South
Carolina. II is very probable that the
Marine Hospital Service will establish
two of its officers as guards for the port
turning back all boats from the South Car
DINA coast that show the slightest possi-
billty of infection.
The Marine Hospital Service has been
requested TO take such action. Had the
city still been in charge of the quaran-
tine station, the precaution would have
been taken some time ago. Ii is believed
the Marine Hospital Service will show
the same desire to prevent the disease
finding its way into Savannah from what
has proven an extremely fruitful source,
the seacoast of South Carolina.
Some time ago the Mayor wrote the
Governor of Georgia, who In turn wrote
the Governor OF South Carolina request
ing that some action be taken by the au-
thorities of the latter state to stamp out
the epidemic of smallpox that RACES upon
its coast. The suggestion was conveyed
to Gov. McSweeny by Gov. Gambler and
some activity upon the part of the South
Carolina Board of Health has been noted
since the correspondence began. II is
thought the South Carolina authorities
will call in the help of the Marine Hospi-
tai Service in stamping out the disease.
With the source of the disease deprived
of its power to communicate 10
the city, danger will have passed,
for infection will not spread IN
the city. as the health authorl-
ties exercise every precaution and display
the greatest diligence in ferretIng out and
isolating a case OF the disease just as soon
as II has developed. The quarantine to
be established on the river by the Marine
Hospital Service officers, II Is believed,

CORC0RAN TO MEET JUDGE.
Fight of WeIterweiehfs Arranged
for Jan. ~ at the Theater.

for Jan. - at the Theater.
Tommie Corcoran of Savannah has been
matched to fight Jim Judge of Scranton,
Pa, and the contest is to be pulled off
at the Theater the night of Jan. %. Tick.
cts for Judge and his manager, Billy
Roach, were sent on 90 New York yes
terday, and the men are expected to ar
rive here within few days. They will
fight at l45 pounds, and the purse will be
the house receipts, less expenses. The
division will be 20 per cent. to the winner
and 30 per cent. to the loser.
Judge has been training hard, it is said.
since his fight with Mysterious" Billy
Smith in this city, which will be recalled
by the lovers of the game. Judge showed
up In good form IN that event which, it
may be remembered, resulted in his be-
ing awarded the decision on a foul. The
spectators had a kick coming then,
though,fo they did not believe that Smith
or Judge showed enough interest in the
fight. 1t did look a good deal like a SPAR
ring exhibition. 1t was clear enough that
both men were fighters, strong and clev-
er. but the house was small, and they ap
parently thought ii was not worth while
to do too much hammering.
The objection could not possibly hold
good in any fight in which Tommie Cor
coran might appear, as one of the princi-
pals, for his reputation for mixing it up
and roughing 1t is well known. and never
yet has he appeared in fight in Savan-
neh where the slightest suspicion was
entertained that he was not handing out
the best he had in the fighting line. The
patrons of the ring are expecting some
thing great when Corcoran and Judge
rneet.
Arrangements are being made for a
fight in Augusta between Corcoran and
local celebrity of that place Some of
the Augusta people seem to think pretty
we'll of their man. and Tommies manager
is arranging 20 take the Savannah lad up
10 see what the Augusta fighter has in
him.
The fight scheduled for Feb. II between
Tommie Corcoran and an unknown" will
have to be postponed Corcoran's manager
is ready to have his man meet anyone
in his class. and that unknown" business
Doesn't scare him a bit. Arrangements
for the 18th. however, cannot be made,
and IL is thought the contest will have
to be pulled off later in February.

Grand Jury Found No Indictment
Against Solomon SheftaII.

The grand jury of the United States
District Court, which has been in session
for several days past, will probably con-
clude its labors and return its present
ments some time to-day. The grand jury
has considered a number of important
cases.
A return of no bill will be made on the
Indictment against Mr. Solomon Sheftall,
who was charged before the grand jury
with passing a raised silver certificate.
This return had rather been expected, and
the announcement will create no particu-
lar surprise.
A return of no bill will also he made
in the case of George Mazaracki, who
was charged with sending obscene pic
lures through the mails. The evidence
against Mazaracki was not sufficient, In
the opinion of the grand jury. to warrant
the return of true bill of indictment.
There are a number of other cases
which the grand jury has been consider
ing and in several of these indictments
will be returned. The grand jury has
gone into the evidence carefully and re-
turned no indictment unadvisedly.

Race for Ordinary Is Getting Warm
err Every Day.

err Every Day.
The County Democratic Executive Com
mittee viii meet tonight at o'clock in
the City Court room, and will determine
whether or not primary shall be called
to nominate a candidate for ordinary. Ii
Is generally believed, as the Morning
News has already stated, that the vote
will be against such plan. and it is NOT
thought that the meeting will last a great
while. At present no one is urging the
holding of a primary while there are
many who are opposing ii. With such
a state of affairs there can hardly be but
one result
The friends of the probable candidates
are still actively at work, ami are pre-
pairing for the finish, which promises 10
be a warm one. A politician who is a
close observer, and who seldom fails to
make correct prediction. stated last
night that I'm his opinion the race would
narrow down to two candidates. He be-
lieves that at the eleventh hour the fight
will be between Maj. Thomas Screven and
Mr.. ]. S. Collins, and there are not a few
who are of the same opinion. This pre-
diction was not based on anything said
by any of the other possible candidates
or their friends and is a matter of con-
lecture.
The politician who allowed himself to
be interviewed is of the opinion that Mr.
Collins expects the strength of the old
liberal Club, and, also, believes that he
will draw many from the administration
crowd. Mai. Screven, on the other hand,
counts on the solid support of his party
and the vote of the element known as
conservatives" His friends say, too,
that he will receive the votes of many
who are opposed to the administration.
While 1t is generally believed that con-
siderable money will have to be spent in
the election, it is not thought that the
amount turned loose will be as large as
many pei sons think. 1t is known that
in a contest between two men a large
campaign fund is not as necessary as
when a full ticket is in the field. With
only two men in the field votes are said
TO he much cheaper than when there is
a bunch of candidates. 1t is expected that
the County Commissioners will hold
meeting shortly and call an election to
take place within twenty days which
would make the contest occur early in
February.
