 The quarantine officers In Birmingham are drawing the lines closer each day, ahS 1 B. Frank Toe, who has charge or th' local office is preventing anyone iron New orleans or the gulf ports from com ing into the city.
 The quarantine has become so strict tna' even the crews on the dining cars whicf 1 come in on the trains from New orleahs are forced to remain on the trains ano go through to Tennessee or some other state. The local officers refuse to ailo" any dining car which has been brought through from New Orleans to be taken oil train in Alabama.
 The dining car and crew on the Louis vile and Nashville, which arrived here last night at 9:10 o'clock were compelled to go through to Tennessee, as both the car and crew had come from New Or leans. All other train crews which come through from New Orleans will be com pelled to go to some other state.
 The Louisville and Nashville railroad officials objected to the diner being sent through to Tennessee last night, but the inspectors were very positive in their demands that the car not be taken off Tn Alabama, and the inspector which went north with the train from Birmingham had orders not to allow the car to be taken from the train until the Tennessee line was reached
 Many Sent Through.
 About thirty people, some of whom had tickets reading to Birmingham, were sent through to other states yesterday. The largest number was on the Louisville and Nashville last night. Beside the dining car crew there were thirteen people on the train who had to go through to Ten ness, although two of the people who wished to get off at Birmingham had certificates from health officers that they had not been exposed. They were made to stay on the train, as the orders re- ceived by MT. Toe are peremptory not to allow any one to stop in Alabama under any circumstances.
 The party from New Orleans on the Louisville and Nashville last night was thc iBcSt that idS yCh phSoco thiohtA here on any train since the quarantine was inaugurated. The number was equal to the total number on all other trains yesterday. Most of the people were not residents of New Orleans or of the other places on the gulf port against which the quarantine is maintained.
 Inspector F. l.. Carrigan came up from Montgomery last night on the Louisville and Nashville, accompanying the passen- gers who had come through from New Orleans or the other places against which the quarantine has been ordered He stated that the instructions at headquar- ters had been to be very careful and not allow any one from infected districts to get off the trains. Four of the people on the train desired to stop at Birming- ham and two at Decatur, but none of them were allowed to get off
 Inspector Toe had trouble with one man yesterday in Tuscaloosa. l. C. Montgom- cry, who came from Jew Orleans on the Queen and Crescent, escaped from In- spector T. b. Reynolds at Tuscaloosa while the officers back was turned. h. spector Toe telegraphed descrip- tion of MT. Montgomery to the chief of police in Tuscaloosa and asked tlTAt he be held until an officer could come for him.
 No Information.
 Local Inspector Toe had not received any information last night regarding the two inspectors who were put off of a Southern train between Memphis and Chattanooga. These men were not under his jurisdiction.
 The Associated Press accounts from New Orleans state that there were two more deaths yesterday, hut no new eases were reported. The officials do not know how many cases there are of yellow fever in New Orleans at present.
 The advises from Mobile are to the ef- feet that no danger is anticipated. The two cases which were reported there were merely suspects. and they have been sent to a quarantine station about sixty miles below New Orleans, where quaran- tine officers are keeping close watch on them.
