resentative Joseph E. Ransdall, of
Lake Providence, Louisiana, who con.
Quoted the yellow fever refugees to
this city, said this morning:
Fully one.half of the entire popu.
lation Of Lake Providence, about 1000,
has scattered to the four corners of
the winds on account of the alarm
occasioned by 1S deaths of a total
of lao cases. No fever existed on
board the train which came here until
yesterday afternoon, when apparent
ly five cases were developed. No ef.
forts was made on the train to quar-.
antine or sequester the afflicted ones.
There was no way to avoid it. There
was naturally considerable excitement
among the party.
Despite the efforts of Lexington
authorities to prevent any of our par.
ty leaving the train, about one-third
of the colored persons managed to
get off there and remained behind.
one-third of the party that arrived
here will probably go on to Chicago,
while probably one-third will remain
here, the remainder scattering to va.
rious points," ;

let any of the suspected cases leave
the train there. He was looking after
the passengers on the train and where
they would stop while in this city.
All these will be visited by physicians
from the health department, and a
close watch kept on them. At the
first appearance of fever symptoms
they will also be isolated with the
others at the Branch hospital.

security market operations OF exceeding
great magnitude were successfully con-
Quoted, and at the close OF the day the
