The aeuco stage has been reached 1

constitute a day's work.
Further strikes are expected in I
case other houses undertake to do j

ATLANTA IMMUNE

Presence of Refugee With |
Yellow Fever Brings Test.
i
GATES TO REMAIN OPEN|
State Doard Censures City Board of
Health and Demands Quarantine,
But Orders Are Not Obeyed.
Situation is Serene.
A case cf yellow fever, brought j
from Pcns-vcoia, Fla., was discovered
in Atlanta a few days ago, and the
patient, Joan C. Caruthers, is now at
the detention camp, three miles out
from the city.
C&niihers reached Atlanta Thursday
night and stopped at one of the
smaller ho els of the city. Friday
morning he was taken ill and during
the day repaired to the offices of the
city board of health, asking that his
condition be locked into. Dr. J. P.
Kennedy, e?ty health officer, examined
the man and detected symptoms
of yellow fever.
While the news of the case of vellew
fever was the topic of much dis
cession, there was no alarm manifesied
by anyone. At the office of the
board of health it was sta+ed tihat
there was absolutely no ground for
worry on tre part of a single resident
of Atlanta.
The patient is a carpenter and his
residence In Pensacola was only a
short distance from that of the Greeks
who are now down with the disease
in that city. It is regarded by the
local authorities as fortunate for Carethers
that he reached Atlatna be- j
fore being taken ill.
Atlanta's health board was made
the subject of severe censure by the
state board of health, which met ar
the state capitol in called session Saturday
for lis failure to promptly notify
the state board of the existence
of the Car ethers orse.
In connection with the resolution
censuring Atlanta's board of health,
the state board also adopted a resolution
advising that Atlanta should
at once institute and declare quarantine
against all yellow fever infected
points.
Miany other cities in the state, particularly
the railroad centers, were
advised to institute quarantine against
infected points without delay.
Strongly asserting their belief it.
the oft-proven contention that yellow
fever cannot gain a foothold in Atlanta
and thai the fever cannot spread
from any imported case, the city
board of health Sunday morning declined
to accede to the request of the
state board of health and will not
quarantine against the lever infected
districts.
When the question of quarantine
had been fully discussed a motion was
made that action upon the matter be
deferred until some future date. This
meant there is no probability that the
oi.ty board of health will institute a
quarantine.
Marine Service Confident.
A Washington special says: Atlanta
is not regarded as infeetible territory
for yellow fever by the public
health and marine hospital service,
and no spread of the disease
there is anticipated. This view is hased
on the experience of the past, as
cases of the fever have several times i
appeared in Atlanta, but have never
produced a new case. Surgeon General
Wyman sa'd he had received a report
of the case developed there from Surgeon
Wertemberger of the marine j
hospital service stationed there. The |
infected person has been removed i
several miles cut of town and
screened. Dr. Wyman said, however, {
that the yellow fever mosqui'o does j
not breed in Atlanta, and for that !
reason no spread of the disease may
te feared.
Won't Quarantine Against Atlanta.
Dr. W. H. Sanders, state health of- |
ficer of Alabama, announces that he '
will refuse to quarantine the state
against Atlanta on account of the solitary
case of yellow fever reported
from the Georgia capital.
F?VER SITUATION HOPEFUL.
New Cases in New Orleans Sunday
Fell Below the Average.
For the fhst time in over a montQ
the number of new cases of yellow j
fever in .New Orleans Sunday was j
in the twenties. With only three j
deaths, compared to S3 deaths on Sep- |
tember 3, 1S7S, the feeling of confi- j
uence that the lever is being wipeu !
out is growing.
The local situation looks so bright j
now, that were it not for the nests j
of infection in the country, it could j
be said that the worst was over.

Fletcher Map.ess .and Bud Akndge,
brothers-in-law, shot and killed each
other Saturday night near their homes, j
about six miles from Pelham, G-a.
it seems that quarrel arose be- j
tween the two men, when each drew '
his pistol and emptied it into the ;
other, eight shots being fired in all.
FEVER IN VICKSBURG~~]
Two Cases of Mild Type Reported by j
F+ealth Authorities?Appearance of i
Disease in Pensacola Confirmed. j
Dr. John Guiteras- of the public !
health anj marine hospiisj service j
Wednesday afternoon reported t-wo |
positive o*ses of yellow fever ia j
vicksburg, Miss.
The sickness is of a very mild j
type. Local physicians first diag- |
nosed the disease as yellow fever, j
the announcement creating somewhat
of a panic. The origin of the fevef
has not yet been fixed.
Both ipatients are white and neither
has been out of town for months.
New Case at Natchez.
After six o'clock Wednesday evening,
one new case of yellow fever,
which was reported convalescent, was
discovered in Natchez. Otherwise,
there has been no change in the local
yellow fever situation.
'Br. W. I-L Aikman, county health
officer, is in charge and had reported
that there were no new cases nor
any suspicious cases. Dr. Goldsberger,
of the marine hospital service, viewed
the patients and concurred in the
diagnosis made by the local physicians
and Dr. Wasdin in every ?par|
tiCUl'ST.
At noon he addressed the physicians
and said the fever could be
stamped out. Mayor Brook issued
a proclamation calling on the citij
zens to right the mosquito. The wofk
of fumigation is being carried on
in every home. ?
New Case at Pensacola.
One case 01 yenow lever ueveiuycu j
in Pensacola, Fla., Wednesday. It
was in the infected district, the patient
being a tailor, who had quarters
adjoining ihe building in which the
firs: casa was discovered. The case
was found Wednesday afternoon and
was pronounced by physicians to be
yellow fever. All cf the patients are
doing well, and the fever seems to
be a very mild form.
The citizens do not seem to be
panic-stricken as in former years,
though a through train, which left
at noon, carried perhaps one hundred
persons away. There were many also
to take boats, and go far up the bay
in camp.
Dr. Guiteras, the famous Cuban yellow
fever expert, arrived from Nev?
.Orleans, and was soon in consultation
with Dr. Porter and the state
health authorities.
The fever report for New Orleans
Wednesday was as follows: New
j cases 46, total to date 1,S78, deaths
! Wednesday 4, total deaths to date
I 271.
Among the list of stricken We3i
nesday arc two physicians, making
j four in all who have succumbed. 1}he
latest victims arc Dr. J. T. Wolfe,
I who lives below Canal street, and has
j had a large practice among the ye!*
j lew fever patients in th-at quarter,ami
I Dr. LaMaraux, health ofiDcer of St.

TO ABATE SULPHUR NUISANCE.
State of Georgia Will Enter Suit
Against State of Tennessee.
The special commission appointed
! under resolution of the Georgia genej
ral assembly, at its recent session, to
I investigate the destruction of vegetaj
tion in Fannin, and other north Geori
gi-a counties, as a result of the fumes
! from the copper and sulphur smelt|
ing works at Ducktown, Tenn., re|
turned to Atlanta Wednesday and
report was made to the governor.
The commission reports conditions
i in the affected section as most deplorI
able, says the destruction is becoming
more wiespread than ever, and thrtf
I with the- destruction of the forests",
! the north Georgia' streams will dry up
and be subject to freshets and floods.
The report concludes with the rec|
orrrmendaticn that; immediate legal
i steps be taken to abate the nuisance,
as it is stated it will be better to
wipe out the entire industry than to
permit the destruction of all the vegetation
in half a dozen counties.
SUITS FILED AGAINST ROADS.
Georgia Commission Will Endeavor
to Force Obedience to Orders.
Suits for the penalty of $1,000 to
$5,0C0 provided by law in cases where
railroads refuse to obey the orders
of the Georgia railroad commission,
were filed in Fulton superior court
at Atlanta Thursday morning, against
five of the railroads entering Atlanta,
because of their refusal to accept
stoves tendered by the Atlanta Stove
Works, under the rate made in cir
cnlar 009.
The commission decided not to give
the railroads thirty days notice.
