TIE QUARANTINE ON MONTGOMERY DOES NOT EXIST Was Raised Last Night by the County Board of
 Revenue ACTION RATIFIED BY
 HE MEDICAL SOCIETY Notary Public VIII Be at Quarantine Headquarters All the Time to Accommodate the
 Public.

The quarantine against Montgomery was lifted last night by the Jefferson county authorities.
 Orders to lift 1t went into effect at midnight.
 The quarantine was lifted by the Board of Revenue, subject to the ratification of the Jefferson County Medical society. The society ratified the action last night.
 At it's meeting in the morning the Board of Revenue unanimously adopted this resolution:
 Resolved by the Board of Revenue of Jefferson county, Alabama. that the quar- be raised. provided that this resolution is ratified by the Jefferson County Medi- cal society"
 Action of Society.
 At last nights meeting of the Jefferson County Medical society Dr. J. E. Dedman introduced a resolution stating that 1t was the sense of the society that the quaran- tine against Montgomery be lifted and authorizing the Board of Revenue to act accordingly.
 The resolution was adopted by large majority, though there were some votes in the negative.
 In speaking to the resolution, Dr. Ded- man said that inasmuch as IT or IS days had passed since the yellow fever patient arrived In Montgomery, and in as much as the patient had been screened. and in as much also that there reputable phy- sicians had promised to report any new would be unjust to Montgomery longer to maintain the quarantine.
 Another Quiet Day.
 For the greater convenience of the trav- cling public Chief Inspector Barnes Nor gan has arranged to have a notary public at the quarantine headquarters all the time. He telegraphed Governor Jelks yes terday asking that Clarence B. Foster. his chief clerk be appointed notary public, and a reply was received that the commission would be forwarded to MT. Foster at once.
 Hundreds of people call at the quar- antine office every day to swear to their health certificates. Previous to yesterday it was impossible to make an affidavit at the station and the travellers were compelled to go up town and look for a notary public before they could make their affidavit.
 Many people missed trains while get ting their health certificates sworn to and were greatly inconvenenced. The ticket agents have been instructed not to sell tickets to certain places unless the purchaser presented health certifi- cate, sworn to before a notary By hav- ing Mir. Foster a notary all the incon- venience will be avoided and the public will not be delayed.
 The quarantine officers spent another quiet day yesterday. There was a com- paratively heavy travel of refugees, but not as heavy as Sunday. The officers were not required to place anyone under ar rest and send them out of the state. As usual the heaviest travel was on the early morning train on the Queen and Crescent. The refugee travel on the noon train of the Louisville and Nashville was very light and only small number of refugees went north on the Louisville and Nashville train at 9:1S o'clock last night.
 The offices of B. Frank Toe. county quarantine officer, at the union passen- ger station, were abolished last night, as the county quarantine against Mont gomery was raised yesterday by the Board of Revenue and the Jefferson County Medical society, endorsed the action last night.
 There have been two quarahtiile head quarters at the station for some time, one the county office and the other the state office. Now nothing remains but the state office.
