Uncle Sam Takes a Hand.
The United States marine hospl-
tai service las taken a hand in the
quarantine situation and according to
letter received in Atlanta Monday
by the Georgia state board OF health,
his issued sweeping instructions pre-
venting passengers from points in

lottesville, ranville, Charlotte, Spar
tsnburg, Atlanta, Admission, the Ten
Dessee river, Vincennes, Ind, st.
Louis and thence TO the Arkansas
state line.
The Georgia state board of health
is requested to have it's inspectors
notify all passengers ssom yellow fe-
yer points OF this quarantine regula-
ton. Notice is also given that gov
ernmert inspectors have been appoin-
ted to enforce this rule, and that
penalties may be incurred for its

The territory indicated as south OF
the line in question is all regarded
as "infectible'' territory, and for that
reason the marine hospital service
proposes 20 prohibit persons who
have been exposed to yell
low fever from entering this section
until the point where such infection
exists is free of the disease.
Good Report for New Orleans.
The report of no deaths in New
Orleans Monday, the first time since
the announcement of the presence
of the fever on July 81, when con-
trasted with the record Of 1878, pre-
sents quite coincidence, because
September II, 1878, was the record
day for deaths during that epidemic,
80 being recorded. Algiers reports
seven of the new cases. Of the new
foci, only two are above Canal street.
Four are n Algiers.

Ey citizens generally on account Of

cases at Lions. lumber town in
that parish, and his statement that
the patients were not being properly
cared for, and that they had been
