MAN Y TOWNS QUARA'NTINED Visitors to Ocean Springs Had Got Away, However, Before That Could Be Done. New York Is Not Alarmed—Gov- ernment on the Alert. New Orleans, Sept. 8.—Following the announcement by the associated physi- cians of the United States marine hos- pital service and the. Louisiana, Ala- bama and Mississippi boards of health that the disease now epidemic in Ocean Springs, Miss, is unquestionably yellow fever, quarantine proclamations flew right and left all along the gulf coast. The physicians, all of whom are ex- perts, made a thorough examination, - assisted by bacteriologists and a micros- copist. Their decision was unanimous that the disease was yellow fever, al- though it presented several character- istics not heretofore observed in the disease. The announcement caused an uneasy feeling all along the gulf coast, for the reason that several hundred persons who had been in Ocean Springs and had been exposed to the disease have left there in the last few days and have scattered in all directions, going to New Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery, Jackson and other places. It is feared that some of these refugees may develop the fever. The disease spread rapidly, and at zone time 600 persons, or one- -fourth of the entire population, were down with the disease. It prevailed all through August. It was not regarded as of se- rious consequence until the deaths from it numbered ten. This, although a small mortality for 600 cases, was unprece- dented in dengue fevfler, and some anx- iety was aroused. A commission of fever experts from New Orleans examined the epidemic and pronounced it dengue. The disease soon afterward assumed a virulent type, and one of the examining physi- cians himself, Dr. Bemiss, died, with evidence of black vomit. A second con- ference resulted in the announcement that the disease was yellow fever. A Hegira From Ocean Springs. In the meantime a scare prevailed in Ocean Springs, and the entire visiting population left there well or ill. Trains from all the Mississippi resorts, Ocean Springs, Biloxi, Mississippi City, Bay St. Louis and Pass Christian, carried refugees to many places along the gulf. The Alabama board of health issued a proclamation declaring quarantine against ’Ocean Springs. Texas did like— wise. New Orleans quarantined all the Mississippi sound resorts. Nearly all the smaller towns along the Louisville and Nashville railroad between here and Mobile have quarantined against one another, and the persons in them cannot get out. The Louisville and Nashville trains stop at none of the sta- tions. Passengers are allowed to go there, but are put off in the woods. Nobody is taken aboard the trains. The chief danger now is felt to be from the Ocean Springs refugees, who are scattered in a dozen different towns. Suspicious cases are reported from sev— The state boards of health are co-operating to stamp out the dis- ] ease. The Mississippi board has agreed to take complete charge of Ocean Springs. The Louisiana board has of- fered to give relief in the way of phy- sicians, provisions and medicines to any town that may need them. It is feared that some of the towns. being closed up by quarantine, may be .n actual need of help or food. Wyman’s Prompt Action. Washington, Sept. 8.-—-Surgeon Gen- eral Wyman of the marine hospital service took prompt action today to :onfine the yellow feverto Mississippi. He sent the following telegram to Past Assistant Surgeon Wasdin, tem- porarily in charge atMobile: “Until cordon is established have agents sell tickets only to points north )f Washington or points on mountain- )us districts and keep record of all who Leave and the point of destination, no- tifying local authorities. Arrange for :ordon, employ necessary help and turn :natters over to Murray on his arrival and report to him for duty. Oakley or- lered Waynesville to load camp outfit. Superintendent Haines ordered to send :ars there. Carter and Guiteras en route.” Surgeon Murray, referred to in the dispatch, will be in'charge of the ag- gressive campaign to be inaugurated igainst the scourge. No Alarm In New York. New York, Sept. 8.—The experts of :he board of health'have no apprehen- sion of an epidemic of yellow fever as a 'esult of the outbreak in Ocean Springs, Miss. Not for many years, it was said :oday, has a case of yellow fever origi- nated in this city. Every case known 11 recent years has been imported from :he yellow fever belt. It was said that :he fever could not break out in a tem- aerature of less than 60 degrees. This ieason of the year is said also to be un- gavorable for the spread of a yellow fe-- vet ',epidemic r it is so near winter :hat the disease would soon die out. Furthermore, as is well known, the first frost kills the disease germ, even in the rellow fever belt itself. Dr.- Roger Tracey of the bureau of vi- tal statistics of the board of health ooked up his records today, and from :hem gave out a history of the disease 11 this city. He said that the worst ep- .demic that the city ever had occurred .n 1798. In that year there were 714 ieaths from yellow fever on Manhattan Esland. There was another severe out- In that year there were .66 deaths. Since that time deaths from :he disease have been comparatively ew The records show that in 1864 :here were two deaths and in 1873 three. in 1877 there was one and in 1885 there was one. Dr Tracey declared that there is no ianger of the spread of yellow fever in :his city. Dr. Charles S. Benedict of the bureau )f contagious diseases said that the symptoms of the disease were chills 111d fever, headache. black vomit and extreme weakness. 'The best remedies were stimulants, such as champagne THE EVENING GAZETTE Doctors are not infallible. 1 DOCTORS MAKE Nl ISTAKES Sometimes they say to apatient: “We Cannot ' cure you.

Ham- ilto‘n, who is now superintendent of the Illinois Northern hospital, and who has had 20 years’ experience in marine hos- pitals with yellow fever and other con- tagious diseases, does not believe there is any danger Whatever of the disease spreading to any alarming extent. He says that the disease has become so much more thoroughly known than it was in 1876 that it can be handled. He has unlimited confidence in the officials who will have quarantine regulations in charge. Dr. Haralson of the Missis~ sippi board of health, Dr. Saunders oi the Alabama board and Dr. Oldpaugh of New Orleans are experts in dealing with yellow fever. The period of incu tion of the germs of the disease is five t six days, so that ‘ all persons unaccllmated and exposed are liable to be affected. Ocean Springs is a summer resort for Adabama, and therefore large numbers have probably been exposed. Dr. Hamilton, however, expects that the board of health will be able to confine the disease-to the state boundaries, or nearly 5 The Carson Mint Case. Carson, Nev., Sept. 8.——Judge Hawley has decided the famous Henri case in favor of Henri. James Henri was con- victed of robbing the mint here. Im- mediately after he was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment and a. fine of $5,000 he transferred valuable prop- ‘erty to his attorneys. The government contended that the assignments were made to defraud. The court held that the assignments should stand. British Trade Returns. London, Sept. 8.——The board of trade returns for the month of August show the imports to have been £33,371,3S5, an increase of £890, 012 over August, 1896.

S.—-Mr. William Griffith, mining engineer here, who is widely known as oneof the foremost authorities in the country on the eco- nomic geology of coal, has been com- missioned to examine and report upon the anthracite and bituminous coal re- sources of the Andes mountains in Pe- ru, South America, and will sail from New York Sept. 10.

The Morgan & Wright single-tube.' quick-repair tire must be regarded as a distinct improvement in bicycle tire construction. It has the following ad- vantages: While punctures in it can be re- paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in- jections, as well as in any other single-tube tire, it can be permanent/J repaired by using the quick-repaii strip inside the tire.

This is on account of the Way in which it is made. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that “leak like a sieve. " - ‘1, Many tires rot, because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric is. proof against moisture. . Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncture. This is due to the fabric. " Ask any bicycle dealer whether other lxires last as long as Morgan & Wright tires. Ask. also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means. "Morgan & Wright tires are repaired free of charge, at the factory in Chicago or at any of the Morgan dz Wright free repair shops, located in the principal cities. N. B.——When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a'tire flat, when it has a tack or nail in it, may . 'amage it considerably. l . INCORPORATED. 1824. DD YDII KNOW.
