 NTRODUGTION. 
 
 In presenting tliis report of the Executive Committee of the 
 Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association to the public, a few 
 words of introduction are permissible and necessary. 
 
 The report is mainly a history of the work of the Association; 
 incidentally, it touches upon the relations of the Association with 
 the recognized authorities and their hvbors during the recent yellow 
 fever epidemic. 
 
 The early formation of the Association was the result of a belief 
 existing in the minds of its founders that it was necessary for the 
 citizens to organize with the authorities and meet the crisis as a 
 unit. Experience had shown that the local authorities, ayd more 
 especially the health authorities of the county and city, were ham- 
 pered by the freely expressed criticisms of citizens who exercised 
 their inalienable rights of free speech without restraint, and quite 
 frequently upon unreliable information and a partial or entire mis- 
 understanding of the situation. And by this we do not mean that 
 the authorities were always right and the citizens wrong, but only 
 that right or wrong, there was no united action based on equal infor- 
 mation, actuated by like motives, adapted to effect the same result 
 by similar means. 
 
 It was to effect such a union, desirable at all times, imperatively 
 necessary when the announcement was made that yellow fever actu- 
 ally existed in Jacksonville, that the .lacksonville Auxiliary Sani- 
 tary Association was formed. The authorities welcomed the new 
 organization heartily, as they at once i)erceived the advantage to be 
 <lerived from crystallizing public sentiment, and the relations of the 
 Association and its Executive Committee to the authorities during 
 its existence have always been cordial. It was fi-equently the case 
 that a difference of opinion existed, but the Executive Committee, 
 while it frankly expressed the views of its members, consistently 
 regarded its auxiliary character and carefully avoided any action 
 that might seem to infringe upon the official rights and duties of the 
 other organizations. 
 
 The Association was democratic in its membership, the fees 
 were nominal, and all interested in relief and sanitary work were 
 invited to join, but its organizers believed in centralizing its power, 
 and the Articles of Association show this view was carried out in the 
 provisions adopted for its official machinery. The Executive Com- 
 mittee was given abundant power — too much, some of the members
 
 6 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 of the Association thought — and the Association was rarely called 
 together as a body. While it is not advisable to discuss here the 
 expediency of such a centralization of power in the hands of a few, 
 it may be said that the Executive Committee held over one hundred 
 meetings, during the period of the time between the lltli of August 
 and the same day in December, and in all cases with the quorum 
 required by its Articles of Association. Twice the Committee ad- 
 lourned without a quorum, and once held a meeting without a 
 quorum, the action of the members present being properly ratified 
 on the next day. During the same period the Duval County Board 
 of Health was frequently without a quorum for the transaction of 
 business, and the City Council was similarly handicapped during 
 most of the eijidemic. 
 
 Whether the work of the Executive Committee for the Associa- 
 tion has been conscientiously and ably performed or not, is for the 
 public to judge. The facts are given here upon which to base a de- 
 cision. It is hardly worth while to say the work of the Executive 
 Committee has been subject to all sorts of criticism — kind, severe, 
 malicious — that was to be expected. The members gratuitously 
 gave their time and labor to the public, without expectation of 
 reward or gratitude. 
 
 It is a matter of regret that more time and care cannot be given 
 to the preparation of this report, in order to afford a clearer compre- 
 hension of the difficulties which had to be met, the methods adopted 
 to that end, and the actual results attained. None can realize more 
 fully than the members of the Executive Committee that some mis- 
 takes were made. Generally, there were no precedents to act upon. 
 There was little time for debate; action, immediate and decisive, 
 was necessary; words, except as a means for the comparison of 
 ideas to arrive at a decision, were worthless. 
 
 It may be said here that the action of the Executive Committee 
 on all matters of importance during its active labors, was unani- 
 mous, notwithstanding its individual members dilfered matei'ially 
 in matters pertaining to religion, politics and society. Xot merely 
 was this a formal result, to look well on the minutes, but it is the 
 fact, and is stated simply to illustrate the pei'fect harmony and unity 
 of its deliberations. Much of this harmony was due to the influence 
 of Col. J. J. Daniel, the revered President of the Association, during 
 his lifetime, and to his memory after death. The personnel of the 
 Executive and other committees was the result, in great measure, 
 of his judgment and selection. The machinery of the Association 
 was designed by him, and its work likewise outlined upon a broad, 
 comprehensive scale. After his loss, irreparable to the whole com- 
 munity, the Executive Committee firmly, if tacitly, resolved to carry 
 out the luifinished work upon the principles already established
 
 IXTK()I>r<'TION. 7 
 
 by him, and did so thereafter as consistently as circumstances 
 permitted. So, too, was there liarmony at all times between the 
 Executive Committee and the standing and special committees. 
 The Executive Committee exercised a supervision over the work of 
 all other committees, which reported progress daily to it, and in this 
 way was enabled at all times to know just what was being done in the 
 different departments. By such supervision and scrutiny, the Execu- 
 tive Committee was able to promptly relieve overburdened depart- 
 ments by enlarging the machinery of the Associatiim, and providing 
 new committees to handle part of their work. In this way the scope of 
 the Association enlarged, and its work constantly increased and has 
 greatly exceeded the earlier expectations of its members. 
 
 As before said, tlie prei)aration of this i-eport has been hurried, 
 in order to satisfy the natural curiosity of the friends of the Asso- 
 ciation at home as well as abroad. At first it was proposed to pre- 
 sent only a financial statement to the public. It was found that 
 such a statement would be necessarily delayed by reason of tlie un- 
 finished settlement of accounts with the Government, resulting from 
 advances made by the Association to meet the expenses of disinfec- 
 tion ( which was only begun at the close of the epidemii- ), an<l from 
 other causes: and, upon consideration, it was believed that during 
 the final winding up of the affairs, and the completion of the finan- 
 cial statement, it would px'ove of general interest if a more compre- 
 hensive report could be prepared. The work of the Association 
 itself would have been greatly facilitated had there been available a 
 report of the practical methods of a similar organization during a 
 similar emergency, and it is hoped that an outline of i^s work may 
 be of future assistance to others. There were reports of other epi- 
 demics in existence, it is true, but they were generally written from 
 a medical or sanitary standpoint, and gave little information to lay- 
 men and to organizations formed for relief purposes. It was the 
 wish of the Executive Committee, as indicated in another place, to 
 add to this report a paper on the epidemic, prepared from a medical 
 standpoint, but the idea had to be abandoned, after some preliminary 
 expense and labor. 
 
 This pamphlet is, then, intended to present a full financial state- 
 meet of the recpii)ts and dislnirsements of the organization, and 
 also, an outline of the work attempted and executed by its different 
 committees. The reader will observe that care has been taken to 
 eliminate mention of individuals in the way of personal praise or 
 criticism. Space would not permit, were such matter desirable, and 
 the work of the several committees shows for itself by the facts pre- 
 sented here, better than mere words, the work of the several com- 
 mittees collectively, as well as the labors of their individual mem- 
 bers. The report is intended to be a plain, matter-of-fact history of
 
 fS IX'lRODrcTION. 
 
 facts, arrauged, so far as practicable, upon a definite plan, in order 
 tliat the casual reader may gain a general idea of the work, as a whole, 
 without too great loss of time; and the person interested in a par- 
 ticular branch, may satisfy his curiosity as to that, briefly, but in 
 detail. 
 
 The greatest labor involved, on the part of the editor, has been 
 to select from the mass of matter on file, such portion as would 
 illustrate and represent the whole. The difiiculty encountered was 
 the abundance, not the scarcity of material, and but for the early 
 care taken to preserve the documentary matter which came into the 
 possession of the Association in form for easy reference, it would 
 luive been almost an impossibility to handle it within the limited 
 time to any degree of satisfaction. The reader must, to be fair, in 
 ■criticising the correspondence which has been freely quoted, be 
 charitable, and remember that most of it was hurriedly written 
 amidst the greatest pressure of important duties. It is not given 
 publication here as a model of English, but is offered, as it exists, 
 to evidence the motives of the writers and their advisers. Much of 
 general interest has been omitted; some has been included that will 
 interest only local readers; but it is a fact that \nany residents of 
 Jacksctnville, who are members of the Association itself, and who 
 remained here dining the epidemic, have as little real knowledge of 
 the scope of the work done by tlie Executive Committee, as any one 
 of our generous contributors included in the list given in the Appen- 
 dix. Constant attendance upon the meetings was necessary to intel- 
 ligently comprehend the changing situation, and although the meet- 
 ings were open to the public, few could spare the time necessary for 
 such attendance. 
 
 In the plan of the book, space has been given to each committee 
 of the Assc)ciation, except to the Executive Committee. The work 
 of the latter committee has been outlined in the first chapter, which 
 presents an abstract from the minutes of the Executive Committee 
 and the Association, just as they stand, together with such items of 
 general news from day to day as were deemed of interest and of use 
 in showing a brief but comprehensive chronological histoi-y of the 
 epidemic. The work of the Executive Committee was so intimately 
 connected with that of the other committees that a chapter devoted 
 to it would contain mainly a repetition of facts scattered throughout 
 the rest of the pamphlet. 
 
 A careful reading of the report will demonstrate the fact that 
 the Association pursued new methods to cope with the epidemic; 
 that it refused to accei)t the magnificent charity of a nation freely 
 oftered, until compelled to do so; and that it expended the funds 
 once received, liberally, but with care to guard against imposition.
 
 IXTR()Dl( TIOV. 9 
 
 The siu'cessful attempt to obli<;e all able-bodied men to earn their 
 bread instead of feeding them in idleness, is worthy of attention. 
 
 The financial report indicates the boundless <;enerosity of the 
 American people. The total sum of money expended by the Asso- 
 ciation is large, and in excess of the funds used in many other simi- 
 lar epidemics, but wliile theie were undoubtedly some instances of 
 waste and needless expense, the facts given here are, Ave think, 
 sufficient to show a sincere endeavor to economize. It must be 
 remembered, in considering expenditures, that besides the sick, 
 there was a population of some 16,000 souls left in the city, 14,000 of 
 whom were without resources and without employment, by reason 
 of the utter demoralization of business and the flight of employers, 
 and that this popidation had to be provided for. The good (U'der 
 preserved in the city during the long weeks of the fever by the labor- 
 ing classes is due undoubtedly to the money expended in jtroviding 
 work for those able to labor, and food for the rest. Besides the 
 expense for relief and labor, the funds expended in caring for the 
 sick, in furnishing hospitals and physicians and nurses, in providing 
 drugs and nourishment, and in burying the dead, were considerable. 
 The percentage ()f deaths, according to the published bulletins, was 
 about 1-0 per cent., and was unusually small. This result was due, 
 in a great measure, to the mildness of the fever, but to the care 
 taken of the sick, including the daily inspection of houses, much 
 credit should be given, as the fatality among the earlier cases, before 
 such help was offered, clearly shows, and thi' character of sanitary 
 work undertaken in cleaning up the city, many think, also assisted 
 in this result. 
 
 Enough has been said to indicate the attempt to present to the 
 public abundant facts to enable each individual, in the calm of his 
 leisure hours, to comprehend something of the nature of the sudden 
 demands of the crisis upon the citizens who were hurriedly selected 
 to face it, without experience or i)reparation, and to judge of the 
 success or failure of their efforts. 
 
 A glance at the list of members composing the committees of 
 the Association shows too i)lainly the effects of the struggle. Of the 
 seven members of the Executive Committee and the two secretaries 
 who met together for four months every day, sometimes twice a day, 
 frequently on Sundays, four are gone. The pen falters and the ink 
 dries as the memories of their presence .spring up at nearly every 
 step in the preparation of this report. God knows we desire to 
 cherish them, but it is yet too early to calmly write of those who, a 
 few weeks since, were by our side, intelligently planning and ac- 
 tively executing the details of the work we are now finishing without 
 their aid.

 If it is difficult to express grief, it is quite as liard to indicate 
 the feeling of gratitude on the part of each member of the Jackson- 
 ville Auxiliary Sanitary Association to the men, women and children 
 all over our common country who gave freely, gladly, munificently 
 from their treasures, not merely of money, but of sympathy, of pity, 
 and of cheer, to our assistance. In another place may be found reso- 
 lutions of thanks. If th'e time shall come when Jacksonville can 
 show more substantially than in mere words the depth of her grati- 
 tude, her citizens will, we think, resi>ond in a satisfactory and sub- 
 stantial manner.
 
 CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY OF MINUTES AND NEWS ITEMS. 
 
 The first authentic case of yellow fever in Jacksonville was that 
 of K. I). Mcf 'ormick, who came here from Tam^ia in the latter i^art 
 of .July, and was reported sick July 28th. He was taken from the 
 Grand Union Hotel to the Sand Hills Hospital. The announcement 
 of this case caused alarm, but the assurance of the Board of Health 
 that it was, in their opinion, simply a sporadic case, calmed all ex- 
 citement. Auf;iist 8th the followin<>; cases were found by the Board 
 of Health authorities: W. H. Blake, J. ('. Mumart, J. W. Saunders 
 and J. J. Perkins. At midnij^ht they were all carried to the Sand 
 Hills except Perkins, who was taken to St. Luke's Hospital. The 
 publicati(ni of these new- cases created a wide-spread panic, and 
 several hundred people left the city. On the !)th, five cases were re- 
 poi'ted, as follows: F. Davis, C. Gonzalez, W. Freudenthal, Magda- 
 len Spoon and Miss F. B. Moore. The Board of Health held several 
 meetings in the afternoon, and were in session up to midnight. 
 
 On the morning of the 10th, tlie Board of Health issued a proc- 
 lamation announcing that the fever was i)revalent in the city, and 
 that it was tendins; to assume an epidemic form. This, for the pur- 
 poses of this report, is really the beginning of the epidemic. 
 
 At no(m, a joint meeting of the Board of Trade, Board of Health, 
 City Council and County Commissioners was held at the Board of 
 Trade Room«, fv'ith Acting-Mayor Archibald in the Chair, to devise 
 measures to meet the emergency. A committee of the joint meet- 
 ing was appointed to form a plan for organizing the citizens as an 
 auxiliary committee to the recognized authorities, to report at an 
 adjourned meeting to be held at the Board of Trade Rooms the next 
 day. 
 
 The pul)lication of the proclamation by the Board of Health 
 started anew the panic, and during the day two deaths, .J. .J. Perkins, 
 at St. Luke's Hospital, and Capt. L. E. Tuttle, at Pablo Beach, in- 
 tensified the alarm, and all outgoing trains and boats were crowded 
 to their full capacity. The Board of Health was requested to con- 
 demn and have burned the "Mayflower House," formerly known as 
 the old Lund house, which i-equest they granted, and it was destroyed 
 on the same day ixnder their instructions. On the evening of that 
 day the Board of Health issued strict orders to the physicians of the 
 city that all suspicious cases f)f fever must be reported at once at 
 headquarters.
 
 12 CHROXOLOGK AL SIMMARY. 
 
 Surgeon Uiquhart was ordered to Waycross by the Governineut 
 authorities, to open a station for the fumigation of mail and baggage. 
 By this time nearly the whole State of Florida and also Savannah, 
 Mobile, Charleston and a number of other Xorthern and Western 
 cities, had quarantined against Jacksonville. Those going from the 
 city encountered great hardships in passing the quarantine stations, 
 and many delicate women and children were sulijected to a great 
 deal of unnecessary exjiosure and trouble by the arbitrary rules of 
 the different Boards of Health. An exception to the action of <piar- 
 antine authorities generally, was the invitation of Atlanta lo refu- 
 gees to come to that city. 
 
 A bill was introduced iu the United States Senate to appropriate 
 $200,000 to assist in eradicating the fever. The report of this action 
 in the papers at Jacksonville was soon felt in relief measures by its 
 influence ujion the ignorant poi^ulaticjii who believed the amount of 
 money named had been appropriated for their use. 
 
 August 11th, Colonel .J. J. Daniel, Chairman of the Committee 
 on Plan and Organization, submitted to an adjourned meeting of 
 citizens a report containing the Articles of Association of the Jack- 
 sonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association, which provided for the en- 
 rollment of members upon the payment of a nominal iuitiation fee, 
 the election of officers, and the ordinary machinery of the Associa- 
 tion. The Articles were adopted by the citizens present as the tem- 
 porary organization of the Association, whose labors continued 
 throughout the epidemic. It was deemed wise to centralize the 
 power of the Association in a great measure, in the hands of the 
 Executive Committee, and the Articles of the Association so pro- 
 vided. The President was, however, given power to appoint as 
 standing committees — 
 
 1. A Committee on Finance. 
 
 2. A Committee on Conference with f-ity and County Authori- 
 ties and Board of Health. 
 
 3. A Committee on Relief. 
 
 4. A Committee on Sanitation. 
 
 A temi^orary Executive Committee, consisting of Colonel J. J. 
 Daniel, H. A. L'Engle, Dr. H. R. Stout, P. E. McMurray and Dr. J. 
 M. Fairlie, was appointed, and was instructed to confer with the city 
 and county authorities. 
 
 At a joint meeting of the Executive Committee and the authori- 
 ties, it was determined to try the concussion theory, and also to 
 thoroughly cleanse the city, under the direction of the Committee on 
 Sanitation, by the organization of squads of laborers, and proper 
 measures were taken to carry out the necessary details. It was 
 decided to employ hfty men and twenty teams. The city was divided 
 into five districts, with a foreman in charge of each, who was fur-
 
 (■HK()XOLO(iI('AL SUMMARY. 13 
 
 iiislied witli full and definite instructions for the pi'oper performance 
 of his duty. On the advice of a number of physicians and others, 
 huge fires of pine and tar were kindled in various portions of the 
 city at night, to purify tlie air. The Board of Health appointed 
 three residents of Pablo Beach Sanitary Inspectors, with power to 
 make and enforce sanitary regulations and do sanitary work at that 
 jilace. 
 
 A special invitation was received from the city of Macon, stat- 
 ing that refugees from .Jacksonville would be received within her 
 gates. 
 
 August 12 — Tlie sanitary work was commenced on Sunday. It 
 was necessary to pay laborers a large price, but a great deal of good 
 work was done, and preparations were made for enlarging the force 
 and pushing the sanitary measures the next day. A special was re- 
 ceived from St. Augustine siying that the people there were greatly 
 alarmed over Jacksonville's fever, and that nearly two thousand 
 people had left that city in the three days previous. 
 
 August lo — The permanent organization of the Association was 
 effected by the election of the following ofiicers: 
 
 President — Colonel .1. .1. Daniel. 
 
 Vice-Presidents — P. McQnaid. 
 
 Secretary — Charles S. Adams. 
 
 Corresi)onding Secretary — Dr. .1. M. Fairlie. 
 
 Treasurer — Henry .\. L"Engle. 
 
 Chairman Committee on Conference — P. McC^uaid. 
 
 Chairman Committee on Finance — James M. Schumaclier. 
 
 Chairman Committee on Relief — W. A. Macduff. 
 
 Chairman Committee on Sanitation — II. A. L'Engle. 
 
 Other members were soon named on the several committees. 
 The first contributions received by the Association for use in the 
 existing emergency, were made by the donation of .$100, by Mr. H. 
 A. L'Engle, for the State Bank of Florida, and the donation of 
 1,000 pounds of beef from Messrs. Adams & Smith. 
 
 All places of business were re(iuested to be closed at five o'clock 
 p. m., and the Mayor was asked to order crowds cm the streets to be 
 dispersed 
 
 The officials of the "Clyde Line" stated that it would not be ad- 
 visable to bring the vessels of that company to the city, but that 
 they had arranged to bring freight to Jacksonville via Fernandiua. 
 
 A conference was held, in pursuance of adjournment, by the 
 representatives <}f the City Council and the Conference Committee 
 of the Association, in which the matter of finances was dis(uissed. 
 It appeared that there would be suflicient funds tor the present pur- 
 poses, and an expression of self-reliance and dependence upon local
 
 14 CHRONOLOaiCAL SUIMMARY. 
 
 resources was expressed, so long as such resources should suffice for 
 actual necessities. 
 
 Dr. D. Echemendia, a well-known Cuban physician, was ap- 
 pointed by the Board of Health to direct the work of disinfection. 
 A large force of men was put to work in various portions of the city 
 connected with this work, cleaning the streets and yards, and scat- 
 tering lime and other disinfectants. 
 
 During the afternoon the exodus was increased by the news of 
 the fourth death which had so far occurred, that of Thomas Gelder, 
 a restaurateur on Ocean Street. Wilson's Battery held a meeting 
 and volunteered its services in carrying out the concussion experi- 
 ment. The Savannah, Florida and Western Kailway officials and 
 employees, in the city, formed a relief association. On account of 
 the closing of a large number of restaurants and hotels, great diffi- 
 culty was experienced by those who remained in the city in getting 
 proper meals. Many of the men remaining formed themselves into 
 clubs, hired stewards, and set up their own restaurants. The mar- 
 . kets were also, to a great extent, bare of vegetables, as farmers and 
 truck growers were afraid to come to the city. 
 
 August 14 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the 
 Auxiliary Association at noon, a comprehensive plan for the work of 
 the Committee on Sanitation was formulated to include South Jack- 
 sonville, LaVilli, Hansontown, East Jacksonville, and all other 
 suburbs. Tlie force w.is increased from seventy-five to over three 
 hundred men, with a corresponding number of teams. Dr. James 
 M. Fairlie was appointed to take charge of the relief headquarters at 
 the Board of Trade rooms. Col. J. J. Dxniel, President of the Asso- 
 ciation, formulated and published the following address to the peo- 
 ple regarding the work of the Assoaiation, asking the hearty co- 
 operation of the citizens, and advising all to keep quiet and avoid 
 worry : 
 
 TO THE TEOPLE. 
 
 I have been charged by the Executive Committee of the Citi- 
 zens' Auxiliary Association to address you briefly in support of their 
 efforts in your l)ehalf. 
 
 The Committee ask the earnest and cheerful co-operation .of all 
 persons remaining in the city and its vicinity. You can aid them by 
 being calm and sustained yourself, and by using your influence to 
 prevent all undue excitement in others. 
 
 Fortunately, a very large proportion of the helpless and excita- 
 ble have left the city. There are others whom it would be well to 
 encourage and aid to leave. Those who remain should realize that 
 each one has a duty to discharge, and resolve to do it. The Com- 
 mittee has determined to s])are neither effort nor expense to stay the 
 infection, and has confidence that it will succeed. 
 
 The few cases of fever which have occurred are not of a nmlig- 
 nant type, and most of them have been easily managed.
 
 (•HK()XOLO(iT('AL SUMMARY. 15 
 
 The authorities are workin<j in thorougii harmony with each 
 other and with this Association. Vigorous measures have been adopt- 
 ed and are now being carried out for the absolute cleansing of the 
 city from center to circumference. Arrangements have been made 
 by which all focal points of infection will be promptly and vigor- 
 ously handled, and no effort will be spared to exterminate the dis- 
 ease. 
 
 The Committee is thoroughly organized and prepared and de- 
 termined to do its part. We need your help in many ways. Pursue 
 your customary business and encourage others to pursue theirs, un- 
 less you can be usefully employed in helping others. Give employ- 
 ment to the unemployed whenever you can do so. The best aid 
 whicli can be given is to offer tt> those who can work the opportunity 
 to earn food for themselves and their families. Discourage idle ru- 
 mors and avail yourself of every opportunity to cheer your neighbor 
 and quiet and strengthen the public mind. 
 
 The calmer you are the better you can help this Committee to 
 execute its plans for your relief. 
 
 Keep your houses and your premises absolutely clean. Use 
 lime, copperas and other di«infectaiits freely. If you are not able 
 to supi)ly yourselves they will be furnished on application to this 
 Committee. 
 
 Avoid infected places and persons, unless you can be of use in 
 some way. The prime object now is to stop the disease. We be- 
 lieve we can df) tliis if we are i)roperly supported. 
 
 If relief is needed re])ort to the Chairman of the Relief Com- 
 mittee, at the Board of Trade rooms, or to the Chairman of the 
 Committee in your Ward or District. 
 
 It is the earnest desire of the C<nnmittee that, so far as possible, 
 we should bear our own burdens. The (-ounty and city authorities 
 will provide as they are able. Those of our citizens who liave the 
 abilitv must, however, in this emergency, do their jtart. To them 
 an appeal will be made by the Finance Committee of this Associa- 
 tion, to which I earnestly ask the attention of those to whom it is 
 addressed. 
 
 If we but do our duty, in humble reliance on God's help, the 
 clouds will ere long pass over, and the sunshine of prosperity again 
 beam upon our fair city. 
 
 Faithfully your fellow-citizen, 
 
 J. J. DAXIEL, Chairman. 
 
 The County Commissioners appropriated ^:;,0(K) for the use of 
 the Association. In the m )rning, Dr. Xeal Mitchell received a tele- 
 gram from Surgeon-General Hamilton stating that Governor Perry 
 had approved the establishment of the refugee cnm)) at Boulogne, 
 (afterwards called Camp Perry), and that Dr. Guiteras had been as- 
 signed to take charge of the same. 
 
 As an instance of the work of the Committee on Sanitation, a 
 rei)ort was made of a place at the corner of Church and Clay streets. 
 On a lot :ilO by 105 feet in dimensions were ten small huts (one- 
 story tenement houses), eight being occupied. In these resided 
 fifty-one persons, mainly colored men, women and children. 3Iost of 
 the inhabitants took in washing, which occupation kept the ground

 and filth swept out of the houses const.iutly wet, and this in dry as- 
 well as wet weather, emitted a sickening stench. The tenf^nts had 
 their water suj^plied from a surface well not more than four or live 
 feet deep ; along the rear fence was a row of cheap earth closets,, 
 some of them in a filihy condition. Under instructious of the Com- 
 mittee on (Sanitation the low places were all filled in, the lot thor- 
 oughly disinfected, and suitable outhouses erected. 
 
 At seven o'clock in the evening, the first experiment in concus- 
 sion was begun. Three guns were used and fifty rounds of ammu- 
 nition fired. The Knights of Honor and the American Legion of 
 Honor formed a Joint Relief Committee, with Jacob Huff as chair- 
 man. A Masonic Relief Committee was formed by that fraternity 
 in this city. Dr. Sollace Mitchell, who was taking a vacation in 
 Maine when the fever was announced, arrived in the afternoon, anjcl 
 tendered his services to the Board of Health. B. F. Dillon, Superin- 
 tendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company, was taken sick 
 at noon. The service was very much demoralized on account of a 
 number of the telegraph operators having left town. 
 
 August 15 — At the Executive Committee meeting several respon- 
 ses were received from the appeal which was sent out to the citizens 
 of Jacksonville for aid. Dr. Geo. W. Davis, of South Jacksonville,^ 
 and Messrs. S. B. Hubbard & Co. sending $-50 each. J. M. Solo- 
 mons, President of the Beiievolent Association of Savannah, tele- 
 graphed they had .'i;l,()00 subject to draft for the benefit of the Asso- 
 ciation, whenever needed. A number of other telegrams were re- 
 ceived from Savannah, Hendersonville, N. C, Mont Eagle, Tenn., 
 and other places, offering aid and homes for the refugees. Judge 
 Loton M. Jones was appointed chairman of the Committee on Relief, 
 and published, the same day, the list of sub-committees, covering 
 all parts of the city; and, also, by direction of the Executive Com- 
 mittee, the following notice: 
 
 For the information of the people generally, I desire to say 
 that the (Committee on Relief will not aid, at any time, any people 
 who are not at this time houa fide residents of Jacksonville. No 
 money will be furnished under any circumstances, and no assist- 
 ance will be granted, unless cases have been personally examined 
 and reported upon by the members of the various sub-commit- 
 tees. 
 
 The (question of quarantining South Florida was agitated by the 
 Executive C^ommittee, the Board of Health, and many prominent 
 citizens, as a means of keeping out tramps, and others, from coming 
 to the city for the purpose of soliciting relief. The Duval County 
 Board of Health issued a circular giving directions for the care of the 
 sick, and recommendations for disinfectants, and other sanitary 
 measures. The Knights of Pythias formed a Relief Committe,^ with
 
 ( llROX(iL<)(;i( AI, SIMMAKY. 17 
 
 M. M. Belisario as chairman. The Savannah, Florida and Western 
 Railway Company began building a refugee camj), six miles west of 
 the (.'ity, for their employees. Notices were published by the Jack- 
 sonville and Duval Building and Loan Associations suspending their 
 regular dues until the fever subsided. A large number of stores on 
 Bay street were closed, which gave a very dismal look to the .street. 
 Bishop E. G. Weed, who was in Charleston when the fever broke 
 out, arrived on the afternoon train and volunteered his services. 
 
 The following was quoted by a merchant as coming from his 
 brother in Saratoga: 
 
 ''DeakJohn — Keep cool. D(jn"t worry. Trust in Providence. 
 Keep taking pills, and you will pull through all right." 
 
 August Ki — At the meeting of the Executive Committee, the 
 Committee on Finance reported that $875 had been received to 
 date as contributions and memliership fees of the Association. A 
 large amount of routine work was gone through, and reports were 
 read from all the committees. The Committee on Conference re- 
 ported that the Board of Health had determined that all infected 
 houses should thereafter be designated by a yellow flag until they 
 were reported by the authorities as properly disinfected. Nurses of 
 yellow fever patients were not to be allowed on the streets at all, and 
 a guard was to l)e placed by the city authorities at each house where 
 there was a case of fever, to segregate the inmates. The street cars 
 were also directed to be thoroughly fumigated daily. President 
 Daniel read a letter from Ciovernor E. A. Perry, suggesting the wis- 
 dom of making camps for the re<*eption of such of the surplus popu- 
 lation as could not be utilized in sanitary work, and offering to send 
 necessary tents. The suggestion was adopted, and the Governor was 
 asked to send the tents at once. Du]>ont, Ga., and Mont Eagle, 
 Tenn., offered a refuge for the Jacksonville people. Telegrams were 
 read from Senators Call and Pasco, and Representative Dougherty, 
 assuring the Association that the Florida delegation was at work to 
 secure a speedy passage of tlie Relief Bill. The chairman of the 
 Committee on Relief reported to the Executive Committee that he 
 had hired a store in Thomas McMur:ay"s block, on Xewnan street, as 
 central headijuarters. Dr. Kenworthy, City Health Officer, reported 
 that he had received one hundred pounds of bi-chloride of mercury, 
 and was distributing the same about the city by means of the water- 
 ing carts. Mr. McQuaid, on behalf of the Special Committee on 
 Quarantine, reported the receipt of a letter from Superintendent Mo- 
 ran, of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Railway, about quar- 
 antine matters. President Daniel was requested to communicate 
 with the authorities of Putnam and St. Johns counties, and arrange 
 for a conference. The President reported his communication with 
 owners of mills, and endeavors to remove the difficulties in the way
 
 IS < HKOX(>LO<iICAL Sl.MMARV. 
 
 of starting up work and employing the usual nuniV>er of men. The 
 Committee on Sanitation reported from two hundred and fifty to 
 three hundred men at work, and announced the appointment which 
 had been made fo suiierintendents for the city in various districts. 
 Instructions were published by the chairman of the Committee on 
 Sanitation for the guidance of superintendents and foremen engaged 
 in the work of disinfection and cleansing, the same instructions hav- 
 ing been given orally. 
 
 The Board of Health decided to postpone quarantine against 
 other points in South Florida, because it believed that the quaran- 
 tine restrictions in other places would prevent any persons from in- 
 fected points coming into Jacksonville, and that persons coming into 
 the city from other points to obtain relief would soon learn that none 
 other than residents might expect assistance, and that the city au- 
 thorities would be able to prevent depreciations by such intruders. 
 The Board of Health acceded to the request of the Executive Com- 
 mittee, and notified them it would have a representative present each 
 day at their meeting. 
 
 By this time the general topic of conversation on the streets and 
 at the firesides was regarding the results of the concussion theory; 
 wliat the microbes were, and how they were killed. On Wednesday 
 night a detachment of Wilson's Battery had one of its cannon out in 
 front of the battei-y, pointing up the street. A colored man was walk- 
 ing down the sti-eet at the time, but he failed to see the gun until 
 within about thirty feet of it. It was suddenly discharged, throwing 
 a shower of sand in his face, when he was heard to exclaim: " Great 
 Lord, how thick they falls I " 
 
 August 17 — At the Executive Committee meeting the receipt 
 of s7;50 was acknowledged. Postmaster Clark reported that steps 
 had been taken to have the mails thoroughly fumigated here, and 
 that he hoped this would be done at once and in a manner to avoid 
 the delay and trouble then experienced. Some discussion ensued 
 regarding St. Luke's Hospital, and Dr. R. P. Daniel said that the 
 hospital directors had consented to turn the hospital over to the 
 Association, and that it could be made available at an hour's notice, 
 but that patients there must be protected from the infection of yel- 
 low fev^r patients. It was reported that the hospital at the Sand- 
 Hills had been put in charge of Dr. Sollace Mitchell; that great im- 
 provements had been made, and that for ordinary emergencies it was 
 sufficient. Reports were presented regarding the Grand Union ho- 
 tel, and some members urged that It be condemned and burned. 
 Several other places in Brooklyn, and the city pi-oper, were likewise 
 mentioned in the same connection. President Daniel was reciuested 
 to correspond with the Representatives in Washington, and request 
 their assistance in an attempt to i-emedy tlie evils of the present sys-
 
 (HRONOLOGKAL SUMMARY. 19 
 
 tern of fumigation of mails and to secure a more efficient postal ser- 
 vice for the State. The Committee on Relief reported considerable 
 trouble made by imposters. Many asked for aid who were well able 
 to sustain themselves. To illustrate: a well-dressed white woman 
 called on Chairman Jones of the Committee on Relief for aid. She 
 stated that while she was not in need of rations, she was boarding 
 in Brooklyn and wanted money with which to pay her board. .Judge 
 Jones was not very favorably impressed with the woman, and told 
 her that they were not engaged in distril)uting money, but provis- 
 ions, which she would have to take, or nothing. This she indig- 
 nantly refused, and, walking out of the office, she stepped into a car- 
 riage and was driven away. 
 
 A committee, consisting of Col. J. J. Daniel, Mr. P. McQuaid, 
 and Dr. R P. Daniel, went up to Green Cove Springs, by request of 
 the Executive Committee of the Association, to confer with the 
 Board of Health of Putnam county with regard to the stringent 
 quarantines against Jacksonville, then existing. Very little good was 
 accomplished by the conference, as the representatives of Putnam 
 county were not in a pt)sition to make tlie concessions asked l)y the 
 Jacksonville committee. Arrangements were made for a joint con- 
 ference later on. 
 
 J. W. Archibald, Acting Mayor, Dr. Xeal Mitchell, President 
 Duval Comity Board of Health, Col. J. J. Daniel, President .Jack- 
 sonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association, and Edwin Martin, Editor 
 of the Florida Times-l'nion. the committee appointed to draft an 
 address to the citizens of the United States in regard to the situation 
 in Jacksonville, to refute sensational reports, issued an address 
 which was sent out by the Associated Press, giving the status of the 
 fever, at tliat time, the number of cases and deaths, and the meas- 
 ures that were being taken to stamp out the epidemic, concluding 
 with the words : 
 
 " While generous offers of aid have been tendered from ditter- 
 ent quarter.s, the authorities and citizens feel that for the present 
 they are able and prefer to rely upon their own resources." 
 
 The "City of Jacksonville" brought down four cannon from 
 Tocoi, which had been sent there from St. Augustine, with a lai-ge 
 amount of powder and blank cartridges. This made seven pieces of 
 artillery in the city, but for want of experienced men, only five were 
 in daily use. Two hundred shote were tired on the evening of the 
 17th, the cannonading being confined to the eastern portions of the 
 city. 
 
 August IS — At the Executive Committee meeting, the Commit- 
 tee on Finance reported the receipt of *;^,40U.2."). Many proffers of as- 
 sistance, and letters of sympathy, from prominent railroad officials 
 of Xew York and other places were read. A resolution was adopted
 
 20 CHROXOLOCHCAL SUMMAUY. 
 
 to the effect that, while the Executive Committee did not feel it 
 iiecessai-y to appeal to the charity of the public at large, at the time, 
 for pecuniary assistance, yet, as it might be necessary to condemn 
 and destroy buildings which had become foci of infection, and un- 
 dertake works of a public nature, to remove all possible danger, the 
 Government should be asked for assistance. The chairman of the 
 Committee on Snnitation reported that the whole tei-ritory of the 
 city had been thoroughly covered by the laborers employed, and the 
 following week a new force of men wt)uld be employed, with fore- 
 men selected because of their sijecial qualifications for the work. 
 For the week ending the 18th, the Association paid out in drafts 
 $2,717.72 for sanitary work and other matters. 
 
 For the same week, the City Sexton reported twelve deaths in 
 the city proper, only three being from yellow fever. The fumigat- 
 ing mail car was tested and found to work very satisfactorily. 
 
 August 1!) — Sunday. This was one of the dreariest days, so far, 
 of the epidemic. The weather was very warm, and the atmosphere 
 damp. The streets were almost entirely deserted, and the city 
 seemed like a "deserted village." It was noticeable that more col- 
 ored people were leaving the city than at any previous time. Up to 
 this period, they had felt little alarm, but when one Matthews, a 
 colored man, was taken down the day before, they realized that their 
 turn was coming, and acted accordingly. During the day Dr. Ken- 
 worthy sent around to the various colored ministers, advising them 
 to discontinue their services, especially at night, in view of the im- 
 pending danger to the colored population. It was a dreary Sabbath 
 day all through, and all were heartily glad when night approached 
 and the day had passed away. 
 
 August 20 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee, the 
 Committee on Finance reported the receipt of about $32.5. Several 
 reports were made regarding the proposed conferences, but as the 
 different counties were not acting in unison, no progress seemed to 
 have been made. The chairman of the Committee onKelief reported 
 that the Committee was overburdened with from two to five hundred 
 ai)plications for assistance, the greater part of which were thought 
 to be undeserved, and he offered a resolution as to the object of the 
 Committee on Relief, which was adopted and ordered published. 
 In order to facilitate business, and secure a proper record, the chair- 
 man of the Relief Committee was empowered to organize a commis- 
 sary department, with provision for supplying the sanitary guards 
 and nurses, and fumigating staff, with proper food and attention. 
 It was also made the duty of this department to make arrangements 
 for promptly furnishing families, detained under quarantine, with 
 desired supplies at their own expense. Dr. R. P. Daniel stated that 
 the Board of Health heartily approved the suggestion that the Asso-
 
 CHRO^'OL(•GI( AL SUMMARY. 21 
 
 ■ciation sliould form a new committee, which sliouhl take cti<;iiizance 
 of sanitary police matters; and. on motion, the Constitution of the 
 Association was amended by having added to it a provision for a 
 .standing Committee on Sanitary Pt)lice. Dr. Daniel stated that, in 
 the opinion of tlie Board of Healtli, the time had come to make St. 
 Luke's Hospital available for the sick, and upon motion, the chair- 
 man of the Committee on Conference was authorized to report that, 
 in the opinion of the Executive Committee, the Board of Health was 
 the proper party to officially take charge of St. Luke's Hospital, re- 
 ceipt for its contents, and organize the hospital staff. It was found 
 necessary t() introduce a resolution that all cjmplaints and resolu- 
 tions offered to the Executive Committee must be in writing. A 
 resolution of thanks was passed to Postmaster H. W. Clark for his 
 energetic .services in establishing the fumigating station at LaVilla 
 Junction. The Executive Committee cordially invited the attend- 
 ance of newspaper men, and correspondents, at the meetings of that 
 body, and the Secretary was requested to furnish all the information 
 in his power of the actual work before the committee, in order to 
 prevent sensational reports being published. 
 
 At the meeting of the Board of Health the question of having 
 the Grand Union hotel condemned and burned was taken up and 
 considered at great length. Xo positive action was taken, but the 
 oi)inion was that the house should be ordered vacated at once. 
 Charges that physicians failed to report suspicious cases of fever 
 were discussed, and it was urged that stringent measures should be 
 taken to compel all physicians to report their cases promptly. lie- 
 ports from the Sand-Hills were to the effect that the patients there 
 were all in a fair way to recover. A pavilion, forty feet long, with 
 a double row of beds, was begun, and two other buildings w' ere soon 
 to be erected. The Sisters of Charity had volunteered their services 
 to take care of the female ward of this hospital, and nurse the sick; 
 and for their accommodation a comfortable house, adjoining the 
 hospital, was ordered to be erected at once. Two large, floored 
 tents, for suspects, were also ordered, as well as a building for the 
 use of the physician in charge, where he could change his clothing 
 and take disinfecting baths after his rounds through the hospital. 
 
 Trouble was anticipated from some of the unruly colored peo- 
 ple, who, induced by reports circulated that the United States Gov- 
 ernment had sent 8200,000 for their support during the summer 
 threatened to have the money, or rations. Although not a 
 cent of any such fund had been received in Jacksonville, it was 
 found imj^ossible to convince all of that fact. Hundreds of colored 
 people, from various places, were drawn to the city by these extrava- 
 gant stories of free rations and money, and among them some des- 
 perate characters, whose talk and action influenced, somewhat, tlie
 
 22 oiiuoNoiXMiicAL sl•^[^IAKV. 
 
 resident colored population. The office of the Savannah, Florida and 
 Western Railway Company was closed, Mr. Parkhill taking charge 
 of the ticket office at the depot. All the employees slept at Dins- 
 more, which is six miles out, leaving the city on the evening train, 
 and returning in the morning, the company jtaying all expenses with 
 the exception of the meals. 
 
 August 21 — At the meeting of the Executive ("omniittee, steps 
 were taken to prepare a circular letter to be sent tf) all absent Jack- 
 sonville people for the purpose of asking their tinniicial assistance. 
 The receipt of about $0") was acknowledged. 
 
 The Committee <m Relief reported that it had organized a commis- 
 sary department, with J. W. Saunders in idiarge, and that all arrange- 
 ments would be made for feeding the fumigating staff, sanitary 
 police, nurses, and needy persons who were isolated and (juaran- 
 tined. The Committee on Relief recommended that a camp be 
 establislied, near ilf)ncrief Creek, for the reception and care of needy 
 persons, with VV. A. Macdulf in charge. The Committee on Sanita- 
 tion presented the report of H. E. Lee, who had been employed under 
 the instructions of the Executive Committee, to personally examine 
 the floors of all the stores on Bay street. The report was referred 
 to the Committee on Ccmference, with instructions to request that 
 immediate ac^tion be taken to improve the sanitary condition of cer- 
 tain stores indicated in the report as being in a bad condition. Dr. 
 Daniel repcn-ted tliat the Board of Health had adopted the suggestion 
 of the Executive Committee, and liad taken cliarge of St. Luke's 
 Hospital, and was organizing the hospital statf. 
 
 The Board of Health issued a proclamation to the pid)lic, giving 
 a brief resume of the fever's work, so far; what had been done to 
 stamp it out, and making an cainest a])peal to tliose who were in- 
 clined to belittle the work of the Association, and to antagonize it, 
 to desist, and, instead, give their earnest and heai'ty support to the 
 authorities of the city and county, as men who have their life inter- 
 est centered around tiiem here. It was more especially directed to 
 those who professed to make light of the fever epidemic, and who 
 had been decrying the efforts of the Board of Health. It was well 
 received and had a good effect. Several cases were reported to the 
 Board of Health where the sick had been neglected. Such individual 
 cases were found to be unavoidable, on account of the Committee on 
 Relief not being in perfect working order, and having so much to do. 
 One trouble that met the Board of Health was the difficulty of iso- 
 lating patients, and preventing the spread of the infection. The 
 guards were found untrustworthy, and suspects at many times 
 escaped. 
 
 At the meeting of the City Council, ordinances were passed em- 
 powering the Mayor to appoint sanitary guards: and also, author-
 
 CHKONOI.OdKAL Sl'MMARV. 23 
 
 iziiig the Board of Polite Conimissioiiers to appoint additional po- 
 lice, upon the recommendation of the Association and the action of 
 the Board of Health. A strong resolution was passed that it was the 
 sense of the Council that a strict (Quarantine should be maintained 
 against all infected points, and that the (juestion sliould lie rcfcvrcd 
 to the County Board of Health for its decision. 
 
 Up to G o'clock p. m. there had been forty-live cases since the 
 beginning of the epi<lcniic, with eight deatiis. Hut one death 
 occurred, that of Edward K. Wanklyn. The case was reported only 
 the afternoon previous, and death ensued in less than twenty-four 
 hours. Three tirenu-n, from the Central Fire Station, were sent out 
 to the suspect camj), as they were expected to conu' down with tlie 
 fever within two days. Attention was fretpiently called to the fact 
 that most of the deaths, so far, had been tlu)se of hard drinkers. 
 
 August 'I'l — xVt the meeting of the Executive Committee, the re- 
 ceipt of about S71S was acknowledge*!. Captain Sliaw, of the "City 
 of Jacksonville," detailed to tlu' Association his attempt to main- 
 tain water communication with Volusia and Orange counties. lie 
 told of the exaggerated accounts of tlie situation wliich ]>revailcd in 
 the interior of the State, and urged that a conference be arranged 
 witli Volusia. Orange, ^[arion, Polk. Lake and St. Jolms counties at 
 the .same time, in order to effect a i)ernianent arrangement and un- 
 derstanding in regard to freights. The fact was cited that several tire- 
 men had been taken sick, and tlie suggestion made tliat the matter 
 be called to the attention of tlie health autliorities, witii a view of 
 affording relief to the department, and also protecting the city in 
 case of fire. Tlie (piestion of quarantine against Soutli Florida was 
 brought up. and it was finally resolved that the Hoard of Ilealtli be 
 again recjuested to immediately institute a system of siuveillance on 
 each road and railway leading into , Jacksonville, so as to prevent the 
 entrance of any parties from infected places, and to prevent any and 
 all trami)s and indigent persons from coming into the city. Presi- 
 dent Daniel was reciuested to investigate tlie coniphunts of exorbi- 
 tant charges, made against undertakers, with power to take action 
 which should bring about more satistactory work on tlieir part. 
 
 The Articles of Association were amended by tlie addition of 
 a provision for a new standing Committee on Claims. The special 
 committee heretofore appoinfed, consisting of Messrs. P. E. Mc- 
 Murray, C. (J. Elliott and W. .\. Macduff, was continued as the stand- 
 ing committee. The Hoard of Health gave notice that it had as- 
 sumed control of St. Luke's Hospital, with Dr. J. D. Fernandez in 
 charge, and Dr. P. .f. Stollenwerck as assistant. AVork in the city 
 was resumed this morning with increased force. Lime was again 
 sprinkled throughout the city, under the direction of Councilman 
 Wiggins, while Councilman Hoyd had charge of the whitewash gang.
 
 24 (HRONOLOGKAL SIJIMARV. 
 
 Every tree tniiik, post, hydrant, curbing and sidewalk edge was 
 given a thick coat of lime, to which some of the bichloride of mer- 
 cury was added. 
 
 Nine new cases were reported at night, but a more cheerful feel- 
 ing was evinced, as it was hoped that the existing system of isola- 
 tion, with the improved sanitary condition of the city, and the free 
 use of powerful disinfectants, would have a good effect in 
 restricting the fever. The weather, during the day, was very hot. 
 though cloudy in the forenoon. The steamer " f "ity of Jacksonville,"" 
 which was expected during the afternoon, did not arrive. She was 
 tied up to the DeBary dock at Enterprise, as, on account of the Or- 
 ange county quarantine, she could not run any longer. No other 
 steamers were running for up-river points. 
 
 August 23 — At a meeting of the Executive Committee the re- 
 ceipt of about $320 was acknowledged. 
 
 The Committee on Conference reported to the Association that 
 the Board of Health had declared a quarantine against all infected 
 points in South Florida, and a i)roclamation was ordered to be formu- 
 lated and ijublished, with a preamble stating the grounds upon which 
 such action was deemed justitialde. The President, on behalf of the 
 Committee on Quarantine, reported that he had communicated with 
 the Boards of Health of Yolusia, Clay, Putnam, Marion, Orange and 
 Osceola counties, with a view to obtain a conference and mutual 
 agreement concerning quarantine matters. Acting Mayor Archibald 
 read a notice of (juarantine by the authorities of Monticello and Gads- 
 den county, and a communication from Agent Stephens, of the Sa- 
 vannah, Florida and Western Railway Company, giving notice that 
 no trains would sto]), going or coining, at Blackshear, Ga., on ac- 
 count of (juarantine. The chairman of the Committee on Relief 
 called attention to the fact that the people locked up and quai-an- 
 tined in the Grand Union Hotel were in a destitute condition, and 
 were constantly exposed to infection, and urged that immediate 
 relief be given them. Postmaster Clark again explained the work 
 at the fumigating station, and stated that no mail was detained for 
 fumigation over twenty-four hours. He reported that much of the 
 delay that had heretofore arisen had been caused by the fact that 
 mails from Southern (Georgia had been turned back to AVaycross for 
 fumigation, because of the scare of the people in that State, and had 
 accumulated at Wa> cross to such an extent as to delay the fumiga- 
 tion. Ajiplication was made to the authorities of the Florida Rail- 
 way and Navigation Company in order to obtain a change of schedule 
 so that letters deposited the night before, and the morning papers, 
 could be fumigated aiul promptly forwarded. 
 
 At a meeting of the Board of Health it was decided to condemn 
 the old Grand Union Hotel and remove all its occupants to the
 
 • HROXOLOOKAL SUMAIARY. 25 
 
 suspect camp at the Sand-Hills. AVlien this should be done, it 
 ordered that the liotel be fumigated as thoroughly as possible, 
 nailed up, and no one he allowed to enter it. The work of removing 
 the prisoners was begun at once. Surgeon-General Hamilton tele- 
 graphed Dr. Neal Mitchell, from Camp St. Mary, as follows: 
 
 " The camp is in good condition, a healthy, nice place, with 
 ample accommodations. All persons coming here on their way 
 Xorth must bring your certificate or else bring their own provis- 
 ions. This regulation is a safeguard against tramps^ In ten days 
 they will be free to go to any point." 
 
 Captain J. H. Stephens, Agent of the Savannah, Florida and 
 Western Railway Company, received orders to accept no freight for 
 points North via Savannah or Albany. That C'omi)any reduced 
 its train service to the minimum, there being but one train each 
 way daily. The weather was very unfavorable; the morning being 
 quite cool; at noon it was hot and damp, while in the evening heavy 
 rains, accompanied by high winds, prevailed. The number of cases 
 reported was the largest of any single day since the fever broke out. 
 Besides the cases in the city proper, two cases were announced at 
 Greenland, Fla., on the line of the .Jacksonville, St. Augustine and 
 Halifax Hiver Railway, and it was reported that considerable suffer- 
 ing had been caused there for want of attention. There was much 
 complaint regarding the supply of vegetables, which were limited 
 in quantity and inferior in quality. 
 
 August 24 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee, Presi- 
 dent Daniel reported that a conference had finally been arranged 
 with the authorities of various counties, to be held Saturday at 
 Orange Park. Upon consultation. President Daniel and Messrs. 
 McQuaid and McMurray were requested to represent the Association, 
 and Acting Mayor Archibald, and a representative of the Board of 
 Health were also invited to attend. President Daniel stated that the 
 Committee on Sanitary Police was organized, and had put men on 
 duty Thursday for the first time, and that headquarters and a secure 
 guard room had been selected. 
 
 Considerable excitement was caused on the street in the morn- 
 ing by the announcement that the Board of Health had decided not 
 to give out the names of the sick for publication. As soon as the 
 news was sent on the wires to the refugees outside, the Board of 
 Health was deluged with telegrams criticising their action, and urg- 
 ing the Board nK)st i)ersistently to reconsider the same. 
 
 August 25 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee Presi- 
 dent Daniel reported that the conference arranged for that day had 
 been postponed until Tuesday. Superintendent B. F. Dillon, of the 
 Western Union Telegraph Company, tendered, on behalf of said
 
 26 CHRONOLiKiKAI. SUMMAHX. 
 
 Company, tlie free use of its wires for the Assoeiation. This was 
 most gratefully aeeepted by the officers of the Association. 
 
 At the meeting of the Board of Health in the afternoon, tlie ac- 
 tion taken in refusing to publish the names of new cases was re- 
 scinded, and the Board decided to give full information daily. This 
 was done after an exi>ression of opinion by the Executive Committee, 
 and in consideratiftn of the strong public feeling in regard to the 
 matter, as absent friends liad no way of knowing when their acquaint- 
 ances and relatives were taken sick, save by the daily reiiorts sent 
 out by the correspondents. Up to six o'clock there had been ninety- 
 two cases since the beginning of the epidemic, with twelve deaths; 
 twenty were discharged, and sixty were then under treatment. 
 
 One of the nuist pitiable instances of the epidemic occurred in 
 the morning, on Forsyth street, when William Craugh was found 
 sick in the middle of tlie street, in the last stages of the fever. He 
 ■was lying jtrostrate. with his head down: his face red and yelloiv, 
 showing the marked characteristics of the fever. He was partially 
 delirious, and apparently in a dying eondition, with symptoms of the 
 fatal black vomit. He was a tiremnn at the Central Station, and was 
 taken sick several days previous, and instead of going to the hos- 
 pital, had secreted himself; but, feeling the increase of the fever, he 
 endeavored to return to the station for help, but too late to receive any 
 benefit. He was sent to St. Luke's Hospital, where he died the fol- 
 lowing morning. \t a meeting of the local Board of Insurance 
 Agents it was resolved that, during the epidemic, all policies of 
 insurance shouhl be considered as renewed, unless specially no- 
 tified to tlie cimtrary. and that vacancy permits shduld also be 
 grante<l. 
 
 August 2(i — 111 tiu' iiioriiiiig the sky was thickly overcast with 
 clouds. Between seven and eight a light rain fell, and later the 
 clouds broke away, and the afternoon was bright and cool, with a 
 brisk northeast wind. It was another uncomfortable Sunday. 
 
 Excitement jirevaile*!, because of the fact that all i)assage was 
 refused on tlie Covernment train going to Camp Perry. .\11 that was 
 known was tliat Surgeon-General Haniilton had ordered that no jiais- 
 sengers from Jacksonville should be taken out under any considera- 
 tion. Later in the day it was ascertained that one reason of this or- 
 der was tlic rc])(irt that the people of Waycross had threatened to 
 tear up the rails on tlie track if any refugees were allowed to pass 
 out of this eity via Waycross, even in locked cars and passing that 
 town at a high rate of .speed. Much discussicm had been going on 
 for several days about the Government station at Boulogne and St. 
 Marys, the latter called Camp Perry, which was said to be in a hor- 
 rible condition for the care of women and children. Several attempts 
 ■>verc iiia(h' by the reporters to go there and investigate, but no i)er-

 mission could be ol)taine<l for that purpose. It was said that the 
 tents were old and leaky; that no provision had been made for the 
 privacy of women, and that tlie w]u)le camp was in a state of utter 
 disorder. The citizens of East .lacksonville i)ublis]ied a strong' pro- 
 test against using St. Luke's Hospital for a pest-house. 
 
 August 2~ — At the Executive Committee meeting tlie main topic 
 discussed was tlie matter of closing tlie railroad lines Xorth and 
 West, impriscming the women and children and others who desired 
 to leave the city. President Daniel explained what had been done 
 by himself, and said that he liad received no reply to a large number 
 of telegrams sent Surgeon-General Hamilton, and Colonel Haines, of 
 the Savannah, Florida and AVestern liailway. and also to the Florida 
 delegation in Washington. Dr. I!. P. Daniel sjioke very energetically 
 against tlie inhuman restrictions just adopted at Waycross, and said: 
 '•We must not submit to the course taken, but must find some out- 
 let.'' Later in the day telegrams were received from railroad and 
 other officials, saying that iiassengurs going Xorth would be allowed, 
 after thorougli fumigation, to go through in special cars to Ashley 
 Junction, passengers and baggage being in separate cars from ordi- 
 nary passengers. Tlie matter of delay of the mails received a good 
 deal of attention at the meeting, but notliing could be done to expe- 
 dite matters. 
 
 The Board of Health, througli Dr. Daniel, announced to the Ex- 
 ecutive ("ommittee that it was considering the question of modifying 
 the rules which had been ado])ted for the segregation of persons, in 
 order to give business men more latitude, and asked tlie opinion 
 of the lilxecutive Committee thereon. Tlie members of the com- 
 mittee thoriHJghly endorsed the position of the Board of Health, and 
 recommended the proposed modification, to give greater elasticity to 
 the rules which had been adopted to restrict communication. 
 
 C. IL Pollard, a young Englishman, was brought iu from the 
 refugee caiui) in tlie morning, very ill. Pollard fled to Boulogne at 
 the beginning of the epidemic, and was taken down with tlie fever. 
 He was left in a freight car there, without any attention, for nearly 
 twenty-four hours, and then bnnight to tlie city, but the exposure 
 and lack of attention pioved too mucli for him, and he died sliortly 
 after his arrival. 
 
 August 28 — The Executive Committee was ol)liged to adjourn 
 for want of a quorum, most of the members being absent at the con- 
 ference. The Conference Committee of tlie Association went by spe- 
 cial train to Orange Pai'k, in order to meet representatives of the 
 Boards of Health of Clay, St. Johns, Putnam, Volusia, Orange, Polk, 
 Lake, Marion and Osceola counties. The delegation from Jackson- 
 ville consisted of President J. J. Daniel, P. McQuaid and P. E. Mc- 
 Murray, of the Executive Committee; Dr. IJ. P. Daniel, representa-

 tive of the Board of Healtli, and Alderman U. T. Gerow, representing- 
 the City Government. The Executive Committee had for a long time 
 endeavored to arrange this conference, in order to come to an under- 
 standing with the authorities of various counties soutli in reference 
 to quarantine regulations. The representatives from Duval county 
 asked: First, That Florida passengers be allowed unobstructed pass- 
 age to the North and West under reasonable restrictions; second, 
 that through freights would be permitted by rail and water; tliird, 
 that local freights be allowed, under wise discrimination, to prevent 
 infection, but to enable transportation of necessaries. The first two 
 points were agreed to by the conference, and later in the day a tele- 
 gram from Alfred Bishop Mason, on behalf of the conference, speci- 
 fied goods which might be ordered by merchants in South Florida, 
 after being disinfected. The Committee on Relief published a notice 
 stating that they had estal)lished a General Information Bureau for 
 the purpose of giving work to all who desired it. 
 
 Tlie President of the Board of Health published instructions to 
 the Disinfecting Corps for the proper use of disinfectants. Twenty- 
 one cases were reported during the day, the largest number any 
 day since the beginning. The favorable reports of the few days pre- 
 vious were counterbalanced by the reported cases, and a dejiressed 
 feeling prevailed. The weather was warm all day, the highest tem- 
 perature being ninety. During the morning the sky was generally 
 clear, but in the afternoon a heavy thunder shower came up from 
 the southwest, and rain fell heavily for half an hour. The mean 
 temj^erature for the month of August had thus far been merely m>r- 
 mal, while the rainfall was less than usual. The newspapers 
 began to feel the effects of the fever, and a large number of tlie com- 
 positors were sick. The previous day the Metropolis had only one 
 printer out of seven to report for duty, and both proprietors and the 
 city editor were sick. The paper was issued by the foreman. The 
 Times-Union was published, also, under similar discouraging cir- 
 cumstances. There was a meeting of the Jacksonville refugees in 
 Atlanta, Ga. , whicli energetically discussed the action of the author- 
 ities in preventing the dopartuie of Jacksonville people to points 
 North. 
 
 August 29 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee Presi- 
 dent Daniel reported progress regarding the quarantine restrictions 
 affecting Jacksonville refugees going North. Permission had been 
 obtained for people to go to points north of Wilmington, N. C., and 
 Memi)his, Tenn. Colonel Daniel stated that he had telegraphed that 
 such acti(m was not entirely satisfactory, as the people desired access 
 to the mountains of Georiria, Tennessee and tlie Carolinas likewise, 
 without detention at Camp Perry. As it was reported to the Execu- 
 tive Committee that there were no accommodations at Camp Perry

 for the sick, strong resolutions were adopted calling on the Surgeon 
 General to have a suitable hospital established there at the earliest 
 practical moment. Upt»n motion, the Executive Committee passed 
 a resolution extending thanks and its deep appreciation of the many 
 hospitable and generous offers of assistance and sympathy which had 
 been tendered to the city and people during the course of the epi- 
 demic so far. Thanks were also passed to the Savannah, Florida 
 and Western Railway authorities for their constant efforts on behalf 
 of the suffering i)eople here. The Board of Health was requested by 
 the Executive Committee to furnish for publication and distribution 
 a conci^e and simple formula for the nursing and treament of yellow 
 fever when the services of a physician could not be obtained. A 
 large number of leading colored citizens formed a Colored Auxiliary 
 Bureau, to do what was possible to aid the Association in the emer- 
 gency, and to give aid and employment to the colored population. 
 After their organization tlie Colored Auxiliary Bureau passed reso- 
 lutions condemning the false reports which appeared in Northern 
 l)apers as to the peace and order preserved in Jacksonville, and 
 stated that unemployed colored citizens were nursing the sick, bury- 
 ing the dead, and guarding the deserted homes and property of the 
 whites who had Hed. 
 
 The sudden death of Lafayette E. Dancy, who was taken sick at 
 night while at his office, and i-eceived no attention until the next 
 morning, caused sorrow and gloom among his many acquaintances 
 and friends. It was one of the typical cases of yellow fever, and 
 death ensued a little over twenty-four hours after he was first taken. 
 
 August 30 — At the Executive Committee meeting a dispatch 
 was read from Surgeon-General Hamilton, stating that a liospital 
 would be established near Camp Perry, as requested by the Commit- 
 tee, on the arrival of Dr. Wise, who left Memphis the day previous 
 for that purpose. Piesident Daniel stated that he was endeavoring 
 to influence the Government to furnish funds for building two hun- 
 dred wooden houses at a place to be selected by the Executive Com- 
 mittee, in order to provide comfortable places for the segregation 
 of those who could not go away. Resolutions were adopted to de- 
 populate the city, both by sending the people to extreme Northern 
 points and to camps outside the city. 
 
 Criticism was called forth in the afternoon by the stringent 
 orders that had been issued by Surgeon-General Hamilton, forltidding 
 anyone leaving the city except for the refugee camp at Camp Perry. 
 As that camp was reported to be in a bad condition as regards ac- 
 commodations for women and children, and in other respects, the 
 people were indignant at being obliged to stop there. A free inter- 
 change of telegrams took place between the authorities here and the 
 Surgeon-General, but no change was made. In the afternoon two

 trained volunteer nurses came from Savannah. For the first time 
 durinjj the epidemic, log trains hriiiging supplies to the mills were 
 abandoned on the Florida ('entral and Peninsular Kailroad. 
 
 August 31 — At the rooms of the Association, there being no quo- 
 rum of the Executive Committee present for business, the citizens 
 present organized themselves into an indignation meeting and passed 
 caustrc resolutions regarding the vacillating policy of Surgeon-Gen- 
 eral Hamilton and the Washington authorities, denouncing their 
 action as unnecessary, arbitrary, unprecedented and inhuman, and 
 appealing to the people of the United States for relief from this un- 
 just and unheard of imprisonment. 
 
 Surgeon-General Hamilton wired the Executive Con^nittee that 
 its requisition for two hundred houses had been approved. He 
 also explained in regard to Cainp Perry, and finally said that if any 
 of our residents wished to go to Murphy or any definite point in 
 Western North Carolina, on their jjarole not to go to seaboard or 
 quarantine towns within ten days from the date of their departure 
 from Jacksonville, excursion trains would be provided as soon as 
 the number of those who desired to go could be ascertained. Steps 
 were at once taken to ascertain how many would be able to leave on 
 an early train. The Knights of Honor and the American Legion of 
 Honor took steps to secure the services of expert pliysicians and 
 acclimated nurses for the care of their sick. 
 
 September 1 — At the Executive Committee meeting a resolution 
 was j)assed heartily endorsing the purjiose and aim of the Colored 
 Auxiliary Bureau, as indicated by I). AV. Onley, Chairman of its 
 Executive Committee. Telegrams were read from Putnam, DeSoto, 
 Lake, Volusia, Marion, Alachua, Orange and other county officials 
 announcing that no freight would be received from Jacksonville 
 under any condition. Mayor Cooper, of Atlanta, telegraphed saying 
 that the gates of that city were still open to Jacksonville people. 
 On motion, the Surgeon-General was notified of the action of the 
 Atlanta authorities, and requested to furnish a sjjecial train to that 
 city immediately. On motion, it was ordered that a standing notice 
 be inserted in the Times-TTnion and the Metropolis, urging all per- 
 sons who could leave the city to do so. At a late hour, General 
 Manager Haines, of the Savannah, Florida and Western liailway 
 Company, telegrai)lied that a special train of four cars, for refugees 
 to Atlanta, would leave Jacksonville soon. 
 
 Much comment was caused on the streets l)y the publication of 
 Surgeon-General Hamilton's defence, which was printe<l in the 
 morning papers. Di-. Wise, the Government special inspector 
 sent to Fernandina to make a thorough examination of the condi- 
 tion of that city, on this date made his report that there was no 
 fever there. Sorrow was generally felt, late in the afternoon, by
 
 CHUOXOI.fKiK'AL Sr.MMAlJY. 31 
 
 tlie announcement that Colonel J. .). Daniel, President of the 
 x\uxiliary Association, was stricken down with illness. A later 
 report that he was suffering from nervous prostration, and not from 
 yellow fever, proved comforting to the people. 
 
 September 2 — Up to six o'clock in the evenin<r, the new cases 
 reported were twenty-tive, with two deaths. There were (me liiin- 
 died and fifty-three cases under treatment, with a total of two hun- 
 dred and fifty-nine cases and thirty-four deaths to date. The work 
 of selecting an eligible place for the two hundred hut camp liad been 
 pushed forward. A special train of five coaches left at 2 o'clock for 
 Atlanta, via the Savainiah, Florida and Western and the East Ten- 
 nes.see, Virginia and fieorgia Railroads. Owing to the short notice 
 and a misunderstanding about free transportaticm. only thirty-eight 
 persons went on it. Instead of being free, full fare of >; 12.80 was 
 charged. This caused a great deal of disappointment to many who 
 desired to go but coidd not afford to pay. A moderate cyclone 
 passed over the city during the afternoon, and later there was a gale 
 from the southwest, accompanied with loud thunder, keen Hashes of 
 lightning, and heavy rainfall continuing several hours, washing the 
 surface of the streets perfectly clean, as well as cairying into the river 
 several hundred l)arrels of lime, which liad been scattered abroad. 
 A leading Cuban jdiysician remarked that while the storm was excel- 
 lent as tending to materi;illy lessen the infection, it would be bad for 
 those who were sick. W. K. Carter, editor of the Metropolis, was fe- 
 l)orted very ill in the afternoon, but witli fair prosjiccts of recovery. 
 The Times-Union announccfl that on account of the sickness among 
 its compositors and the imjjossibility of securing others, the Mon- 
 day edition would be discontinued fen- the i)resent. Only two mem- 
 bers of the staff' were on duty, the editor and assistant editor. 
 
 September :! — At the Executive Committee meeting the main 
 question considered was how best to depoi)ulate the city. A ccmfer- 
 ence was asked with Surgeon-General Hamilton at Camp Perry, to 
 complete arrangements. 11. A. L' tangle and W. A. Macduff' were ap- 
 pointed a si»ecial committee to examine suggested sites for a refugee 
 camjj, witli power to act. The chairman of the Committee on Sani- 
 tation reported that he li.ad employed over four iiundred men the 
 previous week, and had thoroughly gone over all the territory 
 covered before, and that he would continue to keep a force employed 
 sufficient to keep the city in the same cleanly condition. Upon sug- 
 gestion by Acting President McC^uaid, the Secretary and Corres- 
 ponding Secretary were asked to furnish statements of the expenses 
 of the Association for sanitary work, sanitary supplies, sanitary 
 jKtlice, and destruction of proi)erty. Anniston, Jacksonville and 
 Huntsville, Ala., Jackson, Atlanta, IJome and Gainesville, Ga., 
 Knoxville, Galbraith Springs and Leo's Si)rings, Tenn., wired that

 they would receive refugees from Jacksonville. A dispatch was re- 
 ceived from Atlanta, in the evening, to the effect that Atlanta's Board 
 of Health was not pleased with the arrival of the refugee train from 
 JacksMnville, notwithstanding the offer of open gates. Resolutions 
 were passed on the death of Capt. J. H. McGinnis. 
 
 Thirty-seven cases were reported up to six o'clock, that being 
 the highest record of any day since the beginning of the epidemic. 
 St. Luke's Hospital was reported as being in fine woi-king order. 
 The death of Dr. W. L. Baldwin, following closely on that of Capt. 
 J. H. McGinnis, Cliarles H. Smith, and other well-known and much 
 loved residents, of both sexes, caused much sorrow and sadness. 
 The conference of health authorities of Tennessee and Alabama and 
 representatives from Savannah, held at Augusta, passed a resolution 
 approving the course of Surgeon-General Hamilton in requiring the 
 detention at Camp Perry of refugees desiring to leave Jacksonville. 
 
 September 4 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee, it 
 was reported that it was nearly impossible to secure the services of 
 competent physicians, on account of their own work overtaxing them, 
 and resolutions were passed that it was time for the city to avail 
 herself of the help of responsible, experienced physicians, nurses 
 and druggists who had offered their services. Steps wei-e also taken 
 to have the crowds of idle men on Bay street dispersed, and it was 
 ordered that work should be furnished them if possible. Acting 
 President McQuaid announced that he had appointed a Chief of the 
 Bureau of Census, who, with help, would make a house to house 
 inspection and ascertain the number of people in town, their ex- 
 pected wants, and whether they desired to leave the city or not. 
 Messrs. P. McQuaid, J. M. Schumacher, P. E. McMurray and Secreta- 
 ry Adams, of the Executive Committee, Dr. Xeal Mitchell, Presi- 
 dent of the Board of Health, and Acting Mayor Gerow, left on a 
 special train at noon to meet Surgeon-General Hamilton, Colonel 
 Haines and others at Camp Perry, to confer about transj^ortation of 
 refugees, and other important matters. 
 
 Dr. Fernandez was prostrated during the afternoon, and Dr. 
 Stollenwerck had a relapse. Dr. F. H. Caldwell, of Sanford, was 
 wired by the Board of Health to come here at once and take charge 
 of St. Luke's Hospital, and Dr. Joseph Y. Porter, of Key West, was 
 also invited to come and assist the home physicians. Dr. Leonard 
 was taken sick. The doctors endeavoring to act the part of doctor and 
 nurse at the same time, and on this account most of the home physi- 
 cians were overworked. A pitiful case, illustrating the distress and 
 woe prevalent before systematic relief measures, was mentioned in 
 the afternoon to a reporter. While one of the compositors on the 
 afternoon paper came down Forsyth sti-eet, a little boy met him 
 crying bitterly. He stopped him and asked what was the matter.

 Tlie little felloAv said tliat lie was very hungry and that his mamma 
 was lying in the house there dead and his little sister and himself 
 had had nothing to eat for over a day. The gentleman immediately 
 provided him a hearty repast, and investigations were then made re- 
 gariling the condition of the family. It was found that the mother, 
 Mrs. Storck. was lying in her room where she had died twenty-four 
 hours previously, and that the father was just breathing his last 
 when the relief came. A dispatch from St. Augustine announced that 
 the people there had ]nohibited the receipt by mail of the daily .Jack- 
 sonville newspapers. 
 
 .September 5 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee, W. 
 A. Macduff, on behalf of the special committee to locate a camp, re- 
 ported that a site on the Florida Railway & Navigation Company's 
 line, at the seven mile post west of the city, had been selected; that 
 twenty acres of land, at ST.")i> per acre, had been purchased. It was 
 to be called Camp Mitchell, in honor of the President of the Board 
 of Health, Dr. Xeal Mitchell. Ur. R. P. Daniel stated that the Board 
 of Health had adopted a system so that medical assistance might be 
 secured at all times by having a day and night force on in different 
 portions of the city. A report of the conference held at Camp Perry 
 with Surgeon-General Hamilton, was presented, to the effect that 
 the Surgeon-General refused to do anything. According to the re- 
 ports brought back from the camp by those who attended, Camp 
 Perry was in a miserable condition, with leaky tents and no con- 
 veniences. Delicate women who went there were in almost as much 
 <langer as in the city, as exposure there was liable to prove as 
 fatal as infection in the city. Strong resolutions were passed regard- 
 ing the canij), and the Government was asked to remedy the matters 
 complained of at once. The only thing that the Surgeon-General 
 conceded at the conference was to agree that if North Carolina 
 would receive the refugees he would allow a special train to be run 
 out. Some information was received as to the probable expense the 
 Government would assume. Vice-President McC^uaid was directed 
 to wire the authorities at Washington and make rociuisition for nec- 
 essary supplies and funds to pay for sanitary work and guards, and 
 also to try and arrange to obtain two hundred tents from Egmont 
 Key, on the authority of Surgeon-General Hamilton. The most im- 
 portant step taken by the Executive Committee was the adoption of 
 a resolution signed by the President of the Association, the Presi- 
 dent of the Board of Health, and Acting Mayor, making an appeal 
 to the citizens of the country for money and help. The resolution 
 stated that the authorities here admitted that the epidemic had 
 reached such a stage that their own funds w^ere insufficient, either to 
 cope with the many cases of absolute necessity, or the engagement 
 •of nurses, or for numerous other demands, and that owing to the ab-
 
 34 cm^oNoi/xai Ai, sr>r:\[AKY. 
 
 seiue of all business and the inability to raise furtlier funds here^ 
 aid would be reeeived from the eoinitry at large. 
 
 September (J — At the meeting of the Executive (\)mmittee, Post- 
 master Clark stated that various counties in the State had quaran- 
 tined against all mail, and especially paper mail, from Jacksonville, 
 and a great deal of inconvenience had been caused to the business 
 interests of the city. The Special Committee on Census presented a 
 report showing that were l:>,7-')7 people in the city, 1),812 being col- 
 ored. Of this number, 1,41)1 were willing to leave the city, 297 would 
 go to camp, l,(i44 refused to say whether they would go or not, while 
 10,o7") refused to leave. A special from Washington reported Sur- 
 geon-General Hamilton as saying that (^amp Perry was to be en- 
 larged and that a large number of small wooden houses were to re- 
 place the tents in use there. Tlie P^xecutive Committee authorized 
 the Board of Health to obtain a sufficient number of comjietent 
 nurses and guaranteed transi)ortation and proper compensation, it 
 appearing that the Board believed it was time to obtain more nurses. 
 
 Hardly had the appeal, issued the previous day, gone on the 
 wires before contributions began pouring in from Cincinnati, IVew 
 York, Boston, Louisville, Charleston, S. C, Savanivah, Montgomery, 
 Kuoxville, Tenn., and Thomasville, Ga., while scores of dispatches 
 were received stating that committees had been formed in various 
 other cities to solicit funds. The City C^ouncil endorsed by a resolu- 
 tion the appeal for aid which had been sent out signed by the Acting 
 Mayor, after conference with representatives from the Executive 
 Committee. The Masons issued a call asking for aid for the Jack- 
 sonville Masonic Belief Committee. It was one of the gloomiest 
 days of the ei)i<lemic. AVhile the number of cases were not so great as 
 the day previous by four, the number of deaths, ten, was dishearten- 
 ing. Dr. F. H. Caldwell, of Sanford. arrived in the afternoon and 
 took charge of St. Luke's Hospital. 
 
 September 7 — At the Executive Committee meeting the illness 
 of Cliairman H. A. L'Engle, of the Committee on Sanitation, was 
 announced, and Dr. John C. L'Engle proffered his services. A com- 
 munication was received from President Cleveland stating that he 
 had lieen consulted by Senator Pasco and Surgeon-General Hamil- 
 ton, promising to do everything possible to help the people of Jack- 
 sonville, and to remedy the defects at Camji Perry, and urging the 
 com|)letion of Cam]) Mitchell. 
 
 Alderman D. T. Gen)W announced that C. B. Smith, Mayor, 
 would not return to the city and that in the absence of Acting Mayor 
 J. W. Archibald, who had left town in expectation of the return of 
 Mayor Smith, he would open an office and make arrangements to 
 ])erform the duties of Acting Mayor. An attempt was made to have 
 a conference between the ])residents of Uuv.al County Board of
 
 <HK<>XOr.O(".irAL SUMMARY. 85 
 
 Health, and the Putnam and St. Johns County Boards of Health, 
 with a view of having an inspection of the Goveniment fumigating 
 station at Jacksonville to satisfy them of its thoroughness, so that 
 there might be no .<;urther delay in the transmission of newsjjapers. 
 September 8 — At the meeting of the P^xecutive Committee a 
 communication was read from the Southern Express Company stat- 
 ing that the Adams and Southern Express Companies would trans- 
 port free of charge all supi)lies and money contributiims sent to the 
 city for the benefit of the yellow fever sufferers. Acting President 
 McQuaid sent a letter to Surgeon-General Hamilton accepting the 
 explanation of the stoppage of trains at Live Oak, under local quar- 
 antine regulations, but asking that arrangements might be made for 
 special trains for refugees to go to Henderson ville, X. C, and other 
 places willing to receive them. A special committee, (consisting of 
 Messrs. F. IJ. Osborne, D. T. Gerow and C. W. Stausell, was ap- 
 pointed to take charge of the whole matter of arranging transporta- 
 tion for peoi)le Avho desired to leave the city, and a resolution was 
 adopted explaining that it was the desire of the f^xecutive Commit- 
 tee to enable people, who could go beyond tlie reach of infection, 
 to reach those places willing to receive them, which were so located 
 as to be safe from the danger of infection. The Committee on Re- 
 lief, under instructions, made arrangements to keep certain desig- 
 nated drug stores open at night, and published information thereof. 
 The following telegram was received by Acting Mayor (rerow; 
 
 "Do you want the assistan<e of the Red Cross with experienced 
 yellow fever nurses? Ci.aha Baktox, 
 
 " President American National Red Cross." 
 
 It was reported to the Executive Committee tliat the Board of 
 Health would accept Red Cross nurses upon the certificate of the 
 President of the Louisiana State Board of Health that tliey were 
 experienced and acclimated. 
 
 Some thirty i)rofessioual nurses arrived from I'cnsacola and Xew 
 Orleans on a special train late at night. Some were assigned to duty 
 immediately on their arrival, while others were sent to Hotel Togni 
 until the next morning. Two of them, who refused to obey the 
 t)rders of President Mitchell, were ordered to be sent out of town 
 the following day. 
 
 September 'Jth — Sunday. Much sorrow was caused by the an- 
 nouncement of the death of Dr. W. N. Leonard, who died in the 
 faithful performance of duty. He was buried by the Knights of 
 Pythias with the appropriate burial ceremonies of that order. Refu- 
 gees at Camp Perry adopted resolutions indicating the imjjroved 
 condition of that camp. 
 
 September 10 — At the Executive Committee meeting. Dr. Neal 
 Mitchell reported that the Mayor of Charleston had advised hinv that

 experienced nurses could be sent from there at once without trouble. 
 Clara Barton, President of the Red Cross Association, who sometime 
 previously wired her willingness to establish headquarters of that 
 Association in Jacksonville was authorized to do so immediately. 
 It was the sense of the Executive Committee that all ni\rses who 
 came here should be under direction of the Board of Health, and 
 those who refused to serve under their orders should be discharged. 
 The Board of Health presented a formula regarding the care of yel- 
 low fever patients, and ten thousand copies were ordered printed for 
 free distribution. Major J. H. Durkee wired from New York that 
 the citizens of Florida and Jacksonville in that State had formed an 
 organization for the relief of Jacksonville with headquarters at the 
 Grand Central Hotel. Upon motion. Major Durkee was authorized 
 to act as agent of the Association. 
 
 A circular was issued by Dr. C. H. Mallett, Eminent Comman- 
 der of the Knights Templar of the city, asking for funds from that 
 order for the establishment of a yellow fever hospital in Jackson- 
 ville. The Catholics in the city organized a Yoiuig Men's Catholic 
 Association for purposes of relief during the epidemic. Parties who 
 had been at Camp Perry reported most encouragingly of the great 
 improvements that had been made. 
 
 September 11 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee Act- 
 ing President McQuaid, who had just returned from a conference at 
 Camp Perry, made a report to the effect that Surgeon-General Ham- 
 ilton had inaugurated great improvements in the camp. Twenty- 
 five railroad houses, eight by twelve, with pitched roofs, to accom- 
 modate one hundred people, had been erected; the kitchen had been 
 enlarged; new barracks to accommodate twenty-live or thirty ladies 
 were building; tents had been arranged; the whites and colored had 
 been separated ; and the food furnished had been greatly improved. 
 Three daily inspections were made, and Mr. McQuaid testified that 
 the camp was then in good condition for the reception of women and 
 children. Mr. McQuaid announced that he had recommended, on 
 behalf of the people of Jacksonville, the name of Dr. Joseph Y. 
 Porter as a suitable person to act as disbursing agent for the Gov- 
 ernment at this place, to take charge of Government relief measures, 
 and that General Hamilton manifested his entire willingness to ap- 
 point Dr. Porter. The action of Mr. McQuaid was heartily approved 
 by the Executive Committee, and also by the Duval County Board 
 of Health. A special committee, under the name of the Committee 
 on Nurses and Medical Attention, was provided for by resolution, 
 and Messrs. Geo. E. Wilson, C. B. Eogers, T. S. Wilmarth, and

 At nine o'clock tlie extra ''Government Excnrsion Train"' for 
 Hendersonville, X. C, left with about two hundred and forty pas- 
 sengers. There would have been many more had it been generally 
 known that it was a free train. The scenes at the depot from early 
 in the morning until the departure of the train were affecting and 
 melancholy, though at times humor played its part. Over one hun- 
 dred of the stay-at-homes assembled at the depot to see the refugees 
 off, and the good-byes were very pathetic. Dr. Guiteras was expected 
 to take charge of the train on its arrival at Camp Perry, with thirty 
 odd refugees from that i^lace, in addition to tliose from Jackson- 
 ville. The State Executive Board of the Knights of Labor issued an 
 api3eal for aid. A great deal of trouble was caused by the ineffi- 
 ciency and culpable negligence of many of the nurses who had been 
 sent to Jacksonville, and recommended as experienced nurses. A 
 number of deaths had been laid to their charge, where they became 
 intoxicated, or were so grossly careless as to allow their patients to 
 become exposed. The Board of Health sent off four female nurses, 
 and said that they would take very stringent measures with others 
 who were brought before them. 
 
 September 12 — At the Executive Committee meeting, the chair- 
 man of the new Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention re- 
 ported that tiie committee had secured head(iuarters in the Barrs' 
 Block, on Bay street. There still being much complaint about the 
 hick of nurses and physicians, the cliairman of that committee was 
 authorized to again urge the lioard t>f Health to exert every effort to 
 make ample provisions for experienced nurses and physicians. The 
 report of yellow fever at Macclenny was confirmed, and resolutions 
 of sympathy were passed, and the Committee on Conference was di- 
 rected to ascertain the wants of the people of Macclenny and offer 
 relief. 
 
 Acting Mayor Gerow i-ssued a proclamation forbidding the as- 
 sembling of irowds upon the streets and sidewalks. The death of 
 Professor Richard A. Proctor, who died in New York of yellow fever, 
 was announced. Said a prominent ])hysician at noon: -'Last night 
 was the first night I have had a sound, undisturbed rest for a fort- 
 night. I am responding to night calls, in additi(tn to my day work, 
 so that I am completely exhausted. The deaths among the doc- 
 tors have been many, and have been largely produced by their over- 
 work and consequent exhaustion." Dr. Miller was reported very 
 sick from this cause. Dr. Chas. J. Burroughs was taken down with 
 fever, and Dr. Neal Mitchell was sutfering from over-exertion. One 
 of the sensational features of the epidemic came to light when the 
 dead body of H E. Pryor, a young grocery clerk, was found at the 
 corner of Adams and Cedar streets. On searching his pockets two 
 empty bottles labelled "Laudanum" were found, and written di-

 the yellow fever, and had been drinking hard for several days. His 
 fears so wrought on his imagination that he committed suicide. 
 
 September 13 — The Executive Committee made an acknowledg- 
 ment of thanks for the genereus contributions so (quickly sent on the

 respondents. It was reported that two hundred and fifty tents had 
 been sent from Egniont Key to .Jacksonville to be erected at Mon- 
 crief Sjjrings Camp. The chairman of the Committee on Sanitary 
 Police was instructed to have a daily inspection of houses, with the 
 object of relieving the sick, who might be unable to obtain assist- 
 ance otherwise. Eesolutions were passed endorsing Camp Perry, 
 and requesting all those who could leave the city to do so at once. 
 The Secretary was directed to send daily advices to the Florida Aux- 
 iliary Kelief (^ommittee in Xcav York. A resolution was adopted 
 urging that an officer of the Marine Hospital Service be detailed to 
 examine the condition of the fumigating station at r>a Villa .Junction 
 and to report on the thoroughness of the work, as .a guarantee to health 
 authorities throughout the State to receive mail from .Jacksonville. 
 The Committee on Finance was authorized to distribute deposits re- 
 ceived among the several banks in the city as its judgment dictated. 
 
 Dr. Neal Mitchell received information at noon that sixty nurses 
 were on the way, and that seventy-five could be ready at a moment's 
 notice. Dr. Sheftall, of Savannah, with four nurses: Dr. Van Hood, 
 of Ocala; Dr. Peyton, of Mobile, and Di-. Eddy, of Louisville, and

 nurses had left on the Clyde steamship "Delaware" for Jackson- 
 ville, and two by rail. The South .Jacksonville people were agitating 
 a quarantine on that side of the river to keep the residents of the 
 main portions of the city out of their suburbs. The newspaper men 
 were informed that I!. D. Baker, a Cincinnati journalist, was some- 
 where in the city, and was sick with the fever. Two journalists 
 spent the afternoon searching for him, and toward night lie was 
 found in the upper part of the ('ity, down with a hard attack of ma- 
 larial fever. The newspaper men took charge of him, and saw that 
 he had every attenti(»n possible.

 plies for the people, in charge of Dr. Peyton. A resolution was 
 passed retpiiring a certilicate from the President of the Board of 
 Health of destruction of i>roperty, under its authority, to be affixed 
 to all claims suliniitted to the committee for payment. H. X. Ellis,

 tion, arrived on the evening train, having sto])ped over at Mac- 
 clenny.

 was unanimously elected chairman of the Committee on Relief in 
 place of Judge Loton M. Jones, who resigned on account of ill health 
 and overwork, and left the city. The Committee on Conference re-

 the benefit of the Knights Templar impracticable. A resolution was 
 l)assed recpiesting the aid of the American Ked Cross Association, 
 through its representative. Colonel F. R. Southmayd, after a confer- 
 ence with him. Dr. Neal Mitchell, on behalf of the Board of Health, 
 stated that the board would have no difficulty in disposing of poor 
 nurses who came to the. city under pay. but that some action must 
 be taken to protect tlie people against the inefficient local nurses. 
 He also announced that Dr. F. H. Caldwell had been placed in charge 
 of the Medical Bureau, which had been located at the headquarters 
 of the Committee (tn Xurses and Medical Attention, in the Barrs ' 
 block, on Bay street. It was ordered that the Board of Health should 
 give certificates to all nurses who were registered at the Bureau. A

 that all calls could be responded to promptly, the city was divided 
 into districts, and a physician assigned to each.

 five patients at the Sand-Hills. most of them doing well. The phy- 
 sician in charge moved his office otit there permanently, so that he 
 could always be on hand when required. The Masons appealed for 
 :funds to enable them to assist the sick and destitute of their order 
 
 September 10 — Sunday. The weather during the day was some- 
 what pleasanter. Very little rain fell, but the hot sun poured its 
 scorching rays down without mercy, and the exhalations arising from 
 the moist ground could be seen, like a thin mist. Twenty-three 
 nurses from New Orleans arrived in the afternoon. The Board of 
 Health was found to be in a disabled condition. The Board con- 
 .•sist<ed of Doctors Xeal Mitchell, E. P. Daniel. Henry Bacon, and 
 Jtfessrs. Henry A. L'Engle and D. H. Kennedy. Mr. L"Engle was 
 dead, Dr. Daniel was ill, and Mr. Kennedy had a sick wife at his

 Whitfield Walker. Internal Revenue Collector for Florida, was pros- 
 trated in the afternoon.

 given to Dr. J. Y. Porter to enforce discipline and order at the Bu- 
 reau of Nurses and Medical Attention, and the chairman of the Com- 
 mittee on Sanitary Police was directed to furnish two guards for 
 such purpose. A great deal of comment had arisen regarding 
 the Bed Cross nurses, so-called, and Dr. Mitchell, President of the 
 Boai'd of Health, stated, in order to correct erroneous reports, that 
 no slanders regarding the nurses had emanated from that body. As 
 it appeared that Colonel Southmayd denied that the nurses criticized
 
 < IlRO.\OLOi;l< AI. SIMMAKY. 41 
 
 were Hed Cross muses, the Exeeutive Cdiiimittee failed to see why 
 thej sliould act in the matter. A letter was read from the Florida

 sidering the expediency of employing a large number of idle and 
 needy laborers for the improvement of the public streets, as a meas-

 late plans to induce people to leave the city for Camp Perry or the 
 refugee camps. The Committee on Sanitnry Police reported a reor- 
 ganization of the force, and announced that twelve or fifteen men

 tary police to one dollar per day. The Committee on Duval County 
 at Large was directe<l to investigate matters in South Jacksonville,

 among people in that locality. The chairman of the Committee on 
 Conference was directed to recjuest from the Board of Health all bills 
 for which the Association was asked to be responsible, and the Board 
 was re(juested to consider the expediency of putting the hospitals 
 under charge of Dr. Porter, as head of the Government relief meas- 
 ures. 
 
 Senator Geo. F. Edmunds introduced into the Senate a bill ap- 
 propriating .ii;lO(),()0() for the yellow fever sufferers. A party of ten 
 new nurses arrived daring tlie afternoon, and were assigned to duty, 
 most of them being females. A special from St. Augustine reported 
 that the Ancient City had (juarantined against Palatka in the morn- 
 ing, and that Palatka had retaliated by quarantining against them.

 of plans which would give employment to idle men, and thus relieve 
 the committee. The Committee on Sanitation reported the employ- 
 ment of about three hundred and seventy-five men in work of a san- 
 itary nature. President Daniel was requested to refute a statement 
 printed in the New York World, emanating from Kansas City, to the 
 effect that the Jackscmville Fire Department was disorganized, and 
 furnished no protection to the city, and make evident the apprecia- 
 tion of the citizens for the successful efforts of Chief Jones and the 
 Department to maintain their thorough organization. John E. Hart- 
 ridge. Esq., was added to the Committee on Kelief. Dr. John C. 
 I/Engle was recommended by the Executive Committee to Governor 
 Perrj' for appointment as a member of the Board of Health, in place

 The men who had been searching out the needy people reported 
 that they had found some fifty resi)ectable families of white people 
 in actual need, who would not, under any circumstances, apply for 
 relief. They had been denying tliemselves in silence, while thou- 
 sands of less worthy, and hundreds of unworthy peoi)le, had been 
 clamorous for excessive rations, and applied, in many instances, two 
 or three times a week. Tlie telegraph operators were made joyful 
 in the evening by a message from tlie New York World saying that 
 that paper had started a special subsci-iption in their behalf, heading 
 it with SIOO.

 probably one hundred and sixty nurses in the city, under the Bu- 
 reau's instructions. The city had been districted, and the physicians 
 visited the nurses and patients twice daily to see that matters were 
 going right. Dr. Porter made some suggestions in reference to the

 complislied at the Medical Bureau, under its direction. The chair- 
 man of the Committee on Eelief reported tliat it was necessary to 
 add two commissaries, one in Brooklyn and the other in Hanson- 
 town. It was ordered that the Committee on Relief furnish delica- 
 cies for the sick and needy upon the order of any registered physi- 
 cian or physicians of the Medical Bureau. The chairman of the 
 Committee on Sanitation was requested to furnish a complete esti- 
 mate of all work of a puhlic nature that he deemed it expedient to 
 undertake, and the consideration of such work was made a special 
 order of the day for Monday following, and the City Engineer was 
 requested to be present. J. L. Burch and T. V. Cashen were nomi- 
 nated and confirmed as members of the Committee on Sanitation. 
 W. A. Macduff, one of the active members of the Executive Commit- 
 tee, was stricken down by the fever in the afternoon. 
 
 September 22 — As the value of a scientific investigation of the 
 epidemic was fully recognized by the Executive Committee, a strong 
 resolution was introduced asking that Congress be urged to at once 
 authorize and require the establishment of a scientific bureau for 
 that purpose. 
 
 Bills amounting to *;21,117 were audited for the week ending- 
 September 22. Over six thousand people were fed daily, and during 
 the ensuing week that number promised to be greatly increased. 
 Rations, consisting of grits, bacon, meal, flour, coffee, sugar, soap 
 and salt were issued, after investigation, to each needy family or 
 person, in quantities sufficient to last for one week. The chairman 
 of the Committee on Relief was instructed to have a conference with 
 members of similar committees of the secret and other organizations, 
 iiKorder to arrange a harmonious plan of giving relief, and to pre- 
 vent imposition. Mr. John X. Webb appeared before the Executive 
 Committee to urge examination in the "electro-libation'' cure, 
 which he claimed would be able to cure yellow fever, and the matter 
 was referred to the Board of Health with a request to investigate. 
 
 Dr. Porter wired Miss Clara Barton, in the evening, to recall Col. 
 Southmayd, who had been put in charge of the so called Red Cross 
 nurses, as he was not working in unison with the authorities, and 
 was creating trouble. Col. J. J. Daniel, President of the Associa- 
 tion, was again prostrated by illness. An article was published by 
 refugees at Hendersonville, N. C, defending the management of the 
 refugee train, which went to that city, from news^japer reports, and 
 expressing their appreciation to the citizens of Hendersonville for 
 their kindness and attention. A mass meeting was held at Camp 
 Perry endorsing the con<lition of the camp and praising the officers 
 in charge.

 tioii, and Committee on lieliet' was held on Sunday to arrange har- 
 monious co-operation in supplying the sick with nourishment, stim- 
 ulants, bedding, etc., upon the order of physicians at the Medical 
 Bureau and those designated by the Board of Health, provision be- 
 ing made to prevent imposition. 
 
 Four of the new nurses and Dr. Eildy, one of the volunteer phy- 
 sicians from Louisville, were taken down with the fever in the after- 
 noon. To provide accommodations for sick volunteer physicians 
 and nurses, the Medical Bureau rented a house near the medical 
 headquarters, where they could be taken cnre of. There were three 
 liundred and sixty odd nurses on the Bureau books in the morning, 
 but there was not one to spare. The great number of new cases 
 re<iuired all of them to do extra work. Many calls were made for 
 female nurses. A great deal of trouble was caused by the false re- 
 ]>orts of names in the death list; many well persons being reported 
 as either sick or dend. Willie L<mg and a Miss ("onrader were an- 
 nounced as among the dead on Saturday, yet both were alive at noon 
 Sunday, and indignant at the false reports. 
 
 September 24— The death of C". G. Elliott, a member of the Ex- 
 ecutive Committee, was reported, and a committee appointed to 
 draft suitable resolutions to his memory. Peter Jones Was nomi- 
 nated and appointed as a member f)f the Executive Committee in 
 place of Mr. Elliott, deceased, and was assigned to the Committees 
 of Sanitation and Claims. Directions were given to the Committee 
 on Transportation to report to the Executive Committee, for inves- 
 tigation and action, cases of all persons who desired to leave town 
 and were unable to do so. The chairman of the Committee on Sani- 
 tation reported in detail the work being done by that committee in 
 East .Jacksonville, LaVilla, Burbridge's Addition, and other places. 
 The work of this committee was summarized as: 1, Work of a 
 sanitary nature, for which the Government would pay; 2, Work of 
 a public nature, which could then properly be undertaken, as a 
 method of employing laborers and furnishing relief; and, 8, Fur- 
 nishing lists and taking precautions to prevent imposition in obtain- 
 ing relief by men who were employed elsewhere and able to support 
 themselves. Engineer R. N. Ellis was directed to make a survey of 
 the most direct and feasible route to the cemetery, and have the 
 same graded and shelled. 
 
 Dr. Kenworthy was sent to Macclenny by the Executive Com- 
 mittee with a special train carrying ice, provisions and cash. Mayor 
 Latrobe, of Baltimore, telegraphed Dr. Mitchell, in the afternoon, 
 that he had shipped $2,000 worth of provisions, and desired to know 
 if more were needed, which was replied to affirmatively. Sixteen 
 new nurses arrived at noon from Philadelphia, but to the great dis- 
 appointment of all, only three were females. There had been a
 
 46 CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY. 
 
 great demand for female nurses, as there were so many women sick. 
 Seven nurses were sent to Camp Perry on the afternoon train, on 
 account of inefficiency. In the evening Dr. Mitchell telegraphed to 
 Tampa for ten acclimated female nurses. Col. Southmayd left in 
 the afternoon for Washington, to confer with President Clara Barton 
 regarding the nurse question. A special train came from Fernandina 
 in the evening for nurses for Captain D. E. Maxwell, who was sick 
 with yellow fever there. A doctor and three male nurses were sent 
 over. E. S. Lukenbill, purchasing agent of the Florida Railway & 
 Navigation Company, died in Fernandina at noon. The New York 
 Press Club, Florida Auxiliary Relief Committee, and the directors 
 of the Florida Printing and Publishing Company, in New York, passed 
 resolutions of respect for M. R. Bowden, the deceased journalist. 
 
 September 25 — At the Executive Committee meeting a resolu- 
 tion was passed requiring that all claims for the destruction of bed- 
 ding, clothing, etc., by order of the Board of Health must be ap- 
 proved by Dr. Echemendia, the Fumigating Officer, and by Dr. Neil 
 Mitchell, President of the Board of Health, and attested by affidavit 
 before a proper officer, before the same would be considered by the 
 Committee on Claims. Upon recommendation of the Committee on 
 Duval County at Large, the Committee on Sanitary Police was in- 
 structed to increase the guard arounrt the city in order to prevent 
 influx of persons from other infected points. A resolution was 
 passed that the chairman of each committee must make up and sub- 
 mit a pay roll and itemized statement of expenses with each cash 
 requisition brought before the Executive Committee for action. 
 
 Camp Mitchell was inspected by Acting Mayor Gerow in com- 
 pany with a committee from tlie Colored Auxiliary Bureau, consist- 
 ing of Messrs. Artrell, Onley and Middleton. All were well pleased 
 with the appearance of the camp, and the colored members of the 
 ■committee stated that they would recommend their people to move 
 there. A meeting of the physicians was called, by order of the Board 
 of Health, at the medical headquarters, and Vice-President McQuaid, 
 of the Executive Committee, addressed the meeting upon the subject 
 of the wholesale abuses which had crept into the .system of provid- 
 ing delicacies for the sick, upon iihysicians' orders. Certain strict 
 rules were adoi)ted holding physicians accountable for all orders 
 over their signatures. Two or three of the practitioners related 
 their experiences. One said that he signed an order for several 
 articles for a patient, and, trusting in the general honesty of man- 
 kind, had left some space between the last line and his signature. 
 Into this space was inserted, " one case Mumm's quarts, six bottles 
 claret." Another order for chicken, in which tlie figure instead of 
 the word one had been used, had been adroitly raised to twelve 
 chickens. A fumigation station for baggage was established near

 the mail station at LaVilla Junction, under cliarge of Dr. Julius 
 Wise, of the M. H. S. Francis R. King-Hall, special correspondent 
 of the New York World, was taken to the Sand-Hills. The follow- 
 ing newspaper item is quoted as an incident of the epidemic: A 
 customer went into a fruit store on Hogan street, to purchase some 
 apples, and was astonished to find the Italian vender sitting in a 
 corner, his head down l)etwoen his knees, and smoking his head and 
 face from a small i-oal-tar tire. He was aj)parently very sick, but his 
 smoked face and neck, and the straggling strings of soot hanging 
 irom his hair, gave him a frightful appearance. He was taken to 
 the Hosijital at once. 
 
 September 2() — At the meeting of the Executive Committee Dr. 
 C. J. Kenworthy made a detailed statement of his trip to Macclenny 
 as agent of the Executive Committee. W. B. Owen, chairman of the

 laboring. Owing to the resignation of some of the committeemen 
 and employees, and the sickness of many others, lu' had been doing 
 a large amount of extra work and was thoroughly exhausted, and re- 
 quested the committee to place Rt. Rev. E. G. Weed temporarily in 
 charge of the Committee on Relief until he could obtain the requisite 
 rest. The chairman of the Committee on Sanitary Police stated that 
 he had closed the bridges at Trout Creek, and was guarding the 
 same, and had increased the cordon around the city. The chairman 
 of the Committee on Conference was directed to wire President Clara

 at Macclenny. A telegram frt)m Baldwin, at night, gave the first in- 
 telligence of an outbreak of fever at Sanderson. The people asked

 Board of Health, wired Mr. Raley, of the Florida Railway and Navi- 
 gation Company, at Baldwin, to send a locomotive to Macclenny for

 of affairs there, after which any requisition of his for supplies, phy- 
 sicians, nurses, etc.. would promptly be hont)red by the authorities 
 in Jacksonville.

 lief Measures, presented the following rules governing the relief af- 
 forded by the Government : 
 
 Medical supplies, but not liquors, would be furnished only when 
 it was clearly shown that the patient or family were unable to pay 
 for the same. Nurses would be furnished free only where the pa- 
 tient was surrounded by home comforts, but without rea«ly means to 
 pay for the nurses. The hospitals were all free, and it was an- 
 nounced that they must be utilized by all persons taken sick in 
 empty or unfurnished houses, or any place where proper attention 
 could not, from the very nature of the surroundings, be given. 
 
 Bishop Weed, of the Committee on Relief, reported that he had 
 made arrangements to make a strict house to house canvass in the 
 city, so as to afford relief to all persons. The Committee on Confer- 
 ence was instructed to request the Board of Health to fix the rate of 
 compensation for visiting physicians at an early date, and furnish the 
 Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention with a list of such phy- 
 sicians. A circular was sent to the Boards of Health of the various 
 counties of the State, containing the report of Surgeon Wise to Sur- 
 geon-General Hamilton of the work of fumigation of mails, as ac- 
 complished at LaVilla Junction, with the object of putting to an 
 end the oijposition to receiving the mail matter from Jacksonville. 
 Late in the evening word was received from Bayard. Fla., that Mrs. H. 
 K. Ingram and several other persons were very sick there. A special 
 train with a doctor and provisions was sent at once. Dr. L. T. Eddy, 
 of Louisville, Ky., one of the corps of volunteer physicians, died at 
 noon. He did noble work among the sick, and remained cheerful 
 until the last. He was taken down about a week previously, and, 
 although he had the best of attenticni, being an old man could not

 .survive. The physicians met and passed resolutions eulogizing his 
 memory. 
 
 .September 2ii — At a meeting of the Executive Committee steps 
 Avere taken to reduce the force of sanit iry police, and also to place 
 Dr. Echemendia and the Fumigating Corps under Government con- 
 trol and pay. Considerable discussion was had in reference to the 
 condition of affairs in Fernandina. it being the desire of the Jack- 
 sonville Association to render them aid if the people of Fernandina 
 Avould give the exact status of affairs. They had refused to accept a 
 telegraph operator from this office, and likewise declined to make 
 known the exact state of the fever or their necessities. Captain W. C. 
 Cooper reported that Camp Mitchell would be ready for occupancy 
 on the Monday following. It was voted that all persons going to 
 Camp ^Mitchell should have their baggage and clothing fumigated at 
 LaVilla Junction. The Board of Health adopted a resolution, which 
 was reported to the Executive Committee, making all drug stores 
 available to the poor for medicines supplied on the prescriptions of 
 authorized physicians who had registered at the Bureau of Nurses 
 and Medical Attention. The Board of Health designated Mr. D. H. 
 Kennedy, a member of that body, to act on the Committee on Claims 
 of the Association, in order to i)revent a repetition of the payment 
 of claims by the Board of Health and the Associaticm. .Senator Pasco 
 reported, through special correspondence at Washington, a visit to 
 Tresident Cleveland, who expressed the warmest sympathy for yel- 
 low fever sufferers.

 for aid. Camp Mitchell was furnished with mattresses and pillows, 
 and other bedding.

 used. Dr. Porter sent off a number on the morning train, retaining 
 the home nurses for duty. Instructions were given to reduce the 
 expenses in every department. As St. Augustine officials had re- 
 fused to give the Board of Health full particulars of their condition, 
 and as letters sent to their Board of Health from Jacksonville had 
 been refused and returned to the postoffice. President Mitchell noti- 
 fied Dr. Kaney, President of the St. Augustine Board of Health, that 
 thenceforth no more telephone bulletins of the ctindition of affairs in 
 Jacksonville would be sent to St. Augustine, and that all bulletins 
 and other communications would be sent by mail. Ic was rumored 
 that Fernandina had the small-pox, and the Board of Health at once 
 took measures to ascertain the truth or falsity of the statement. The 
 unfavorable report received from President J. J. Daniel's sick room, 
 of his failiug condition, created much sorrow at the meeting of the 
 Executive Committee and in the city.

 wants wouhl he met fully, and requested a statement of tlieir most 
 immediate necessities. The Conimitteee on Relief presented plans 
 for reducing the expenses of that department. Hon. J. C. Greeley 
 was appointed a memher of the Committee on Conference. The Com- 
 mittee on Conference reported that the Board of Health, at the re-

 was a proper price to pay visitino- physicians, and the Committee on 
 Nurses and Medical Attention weie instructed to bring in the neces- 
 sary data for the payment of sui'h physicians to date. A communi- 
 cation from Dr. J. Y. Porter was read, stating that he had been ad- 
 vised by Surgeon-General Hamilton that he was making arrange- 
 ments to shorten the stay of convalescents in (piarantine, and author- 
 izing Dr. .1. Y. Porter to take charge of the Fumigating Staff. Dr. Por- 
 ter announced that he had taken charge of the Fumigating Staff", at 
 the request of the Board of Health, and stated that the Government 
 would assume the payment of such guards as were employed by the 
 sanitary police in the prevention of infection by transportation of 
 bedding, etc., and that these men would i)robably not be required 
 more than two weeks longer. The chairman of the Committee on 
 Nurses and Medical Attention reported a list of thirty-five nurses 
 who were not required, and it was ordered that they be returnetl 
 home. Mr. J. N. C. Stockton presented a series of resolutions in 
 reference to finance and relief measures looking to a stoppage of fur- 
 ther contributions, which resolutions were, upon motion, after some 
 discussion, referred to the Executive Committee for consideration 
 and report, with a recpiest not to publish the same. The resolutions 
 were, however, published the following day, without the consent of or 
 action by the Executive Committee. Dr. Porter received a dispatcli 
 from Dr. Tate Powell, of Starke, stating that an expert was needed 
 at Temple Mills, near that city, to examine the condition of several 
 suspects, as it was believed that yellow fever existed at that place. 
 Thirteen of the volunteer physicians organized a society for the piir- 
 pose of keeping up their organization, and pledging themselves that 
 in future epidemics the members of this society would go in a body 
 to the stricken place. Dr. Joseph Y. Porter was elected President; 
 Dr. Broadus, of St. Louis, First Vice-President; Dr. Sheftall, of Sa- 
 vannah, Second Vice-President; Dr. Strausz, of Palatka, Secretary,

 ing, when it was announced tliat Col. J. J. Daniel had died at nine 
 o'clock. Col. Daniel had been placed at the head of the Auxiliary As- 
 sociation when it was first formed, and had devoted his whole time 
 unremittingly to it. The immense amount of work prostrated him 
 several times, but he still insisted on keeping at his post, and -ivhen 
 the fever seized him he was in a very exhausted state, and his sys- 
 tem was so broken down that he was unable to rally. His was the 
 only death recorded on that day, but it called forth expressions of 
 sympathy from all parts of the country as a loss, not only to the city, 
 but the State and the entire South. 
 
 W. N. Baker, cashier of the State Bank of Florida, died the pre- 
 vious evening. His death was all the more sad from the fact that 
 he was convalescing, and was expected to recover, when he suddenly 
 became delirous and sank rapidly.

 afternoon. 
 
 October 3 — At tlie meeting of the Executive Committee sympa- 
 thetic resolutions on the death of President Daniel were ottered, and 
 a special committee appointed to frame resolutions, and it was voted 
 that the Association should attend the funeral in a body. Many let- 
 ters and telegrams were read at the time. In the afternoon a large 
 number of citizens, in company with members of the Association, 
 attended the funeral services, wliich were held at his late residence 
 at "Palermo."

 supplies.

 that day. The chairman of the Committee on Transportation 
 stated that he had been officially ad vised that tlie Government would 
 pay for the transportation of absolutely indigent persons from Camp 
 Perry to their homes. He also reported that his committee had 
 made arrangements to transport persons to Camp Mitchell for 
 twenty-five cents each. Free tiansportation would be furnislied to 
 all who went out there to stay. The chairman of the Committee on 
 Sanitation reported that the work of shelling the new road to the 
 cemetery would begin on that day. The chairman of the Committee 
 on Duval County at Large was authorized to furnish funds for relief 
 purposes in cases where it was impracticable to furnish supplies, 
 and he was directed to submit the proper vouchers and receipt for 
 the same. The chairman of the Committee on Finance reported that 
 Frank Marvin had been added to that committee, and that, as chair-

 man. he had wired the Mayor of Gainesville to draw on the Associa- 
 tion for $1,000. 
 
 Upon suggestion, it was moved that the committee appointed 
 to prep;ire resolutions on the death of Col. J. J. Daniel be requested 
 to report on Saturday, the Oth, at the usual time, that there be no 
 business session on that day, and that the chairman of the r;ominit- 
 tee on Conference publish an invitation to the citizens generally to 
 join in the meeting and take suitable action in the matter. Dr. J. 
 Y. Porter reported that the Government had taken charge of the 
 fumigating staff, but that he did not deem it advisable that any gen- 
 eral attempt at disinfection be made until the close of the epidemic. 
 For the twenty-four hours ending at six o'clock, seventy-five new 
 cases of fever were reported, but no deaths. The physicians, gen- 
 erally, reported their patients as having lighter cases, and the im- 
 pression existed that the epidemic was waning. Dr. W. H. Babcock, 
 Superintendent of Public Instruction in Duval County, died, though 
 not of yellow fever.

 resolution was passed instructing the chairman of the Committee on 
 Transportation to communicate with tlie Clyde and DeBary lines of 
 steamers with a view of making arrangements for the transportation 
 of fruit from the State, via Mayport, or otherwise, during the months 
 of quarantine against the city. The chairman of the Committee on 
 Sanitation was directed to employ men five days in the week, of ten 
 hours each, at one dollar per day wages. The authorities of Gaines- 
 ville and Fernandina were again wired, at the suggestion of Mayor 
 Hewitt, of Xew York, asking if more aid was needed. 
 
 October 6 — A very largely attended meeting of the members of 
 the Auxiliary Association, and of citizens generally, was held at the 
 Board of Trade rooms Saturday morning, to hear the resolutions of 
 respect on the death of Col. Daniel. The room was heavily draped 
 in mourning, and the vacant chair of the late president was also 
 covered with the habiliments of woe. Eight Rev. E. G. Weed i-ead 
 the resolutions, which were adopted by a rising vote, and ordered 
 engrossed. Several short and eloquent addresses were made, eulo- 
 gizing the life and character of Colonel Daniel, and Dr. T. O. Sum- 
 mers read a poem composed specially to his memory.

 was fitted to receive refugees, and immediate action was suggested 
 to urge people to go there. Bishop Weed published a card, saying 
 that after a personal inspection of Camp Mitchell, he would urge all

 ties. W. B. Owen, who had recently recovered from an attack of yel- 
 low fever, resigned the chairmanship of the Committee on Relief,, 
 and, at the suggestion of that committee, presented the name of Rt. 
 Rev. E. G. Weed for permanent chairman. Mr. Owen's resignation 
 was accepted, and Bishop Weed was a23pointed chairman in his place. 
 The Executive Committee directed the employment of an attorney 
 to take preliminary steps to incorporate the Jacksonville Auxiliary 
 Hanitary Association. Telegrams were read from W. P. CHyde & Co., 
 the Ocean Steamship Company and others, in reference to the ques- 
 tion of transportation of oranges, all considering the Mayport plan 
 favorably. A telegram was read from C. P. Wilkinson, M. D., Pres- 
 ident of the State Board of Health of Louisiana, refusing to permit 
 nurses to return to New Orleans, except via Tampa, and after a dis- 
 infection at the quarantine station on the Mississippi River. 
 
 At the meeting of the General Committee, appointed on the i^lan 
 and organization of a "Daniel Menit)rial Association,"' two commit- 
 tees were appointed, one on Plan and Organization, consisting of J. 
 C. L'Engle, Hy. Robinson and F. W. Mumby, and the other on Nam- 
 ing Trustees, consisting of J. N. C. Stockton, J. C. Greeley and Wm. 
 M. Artrell. The question of allowing home physicians pay for their 
 charitable services was agitated on the streets. The volunteer phy- 
 sicians received .$10 per day, and their board and other expenses, and 
 some residents of the city thought it fair that the home physicians 
 should also receive compensation. T. T. Stockton, Business Mana- 
 ger of the Times-Union, was reported sick with the fever. Late the 
 jjrevious evening a wedding occurred in Brooklyn, which terminated 
 rather uni)leasantly to those most nearly concerned. As the cere- 
 mony was concluded the bride was seized with a very severe chill, 
 the first symjjtom of yellow fever, and was compelled to retire. The 
 thoroughly frightened bridegroom at once sent for a physician, aiid 
 the same carriage which took the clergyman home brought a physi- 
 cian for the bride. 
 
 October 10 — At the meeting of Executive Committee the chair- 
 man of the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention brought up 
 the case of the selling and distributing of furniture from an infected 
 house, and, uj^on motion, was requested to communicate with the 
 acting chairman of the Committee on Sanitary Police, and take im- 
 mediate measures to stop the further distribution, and to collect and 
 return the property which had been sold. The chairman of the Com- 
 mittee on Relief reported that his committee had luianimously re- 
 solved to ck)se the restaurant which had been established for the 
 feeding of convalescents and employees of the Association, on Octo- 
 ber 12th. Dr. Miller, who had been placed in South Jacksonville, 
 reported no sickness, except a few cases of malarial fever. There 
 was difficidty in getting supplies over for families in distress in that

 suburb, as the ferry boat made only two trips a day. The Executive 
 Committee took charge of the matter, with the object of securing 
 better transportation. Notice was published that all bills and claims, 
 on which the action of the Executive Committee was desired, must 
 be presented to the Association on or before Thursday of each week. 
 October 11 — At the Executive Committee meeting Bishop Weed 
 stated his willingness to act as agent of the Association, and hold a 
 conference with the authorities of Fernandina to ascertain their 
 needs, and the best method of supplying them; and the Committee 
 on Transportation was directed to make proper arrangements i>f his 
 transportation. The following was reported by the Committee on 
 Nurses and Medieval Attention as a fair sample of some for the orders 
 received at the Medical Bureau:

 The lieavy down-fall of rain all the previous day, which ctnitin- 
 ued almost throughout the entire night, had the effect of flooding the 
 woods around the city to such an extent as to nearly stop travel on 
 foot or in private conveyances. Scores of people who had taken tem- 
 porary refuge in the surrounding country, and who came into the city 
 every day to attend to their business, succeeded in reaching the city 
 only by overcoming serious obstacles. 
 
 October 12 — The chairman of the Committee on Relief explained 
 the state of affairs in South Jacksonville as bad, and growing worse. 
 He stated that the suburb was infected, and that there was much 
 sickness there, a great proportion of which had not been reported. 
 He explained that he had been obliged to hire row-boats to carry sup- 
 plies and people across the river, in the absence of more frequent 
 trips of the ferry boat. The establishment of a hospital there was 
 discussed, ami the Board of Health was requested to <letail a physi- 
 cian for that suburb. The chairman of the Committee on Belief 
 stated that the restaurant would be closed, by that committee, the 
 next day. It was officially reported that at the relief restaurant 
 0,8<.»8 people were fed on the previous day. A petition was presented 
 to the Executive Committee, asking that all commissaries of relief, ex- 
 cept the Central .Station, be abolished, and that rations be only issued 
 to widows and orphans and decrepid persons. Considerable discus- 
 sion took place about returning nurses to their homes. New Orleans 
 and some places refused to receive them, after the usual (piarantine at 
 Camp Perry, while other towns would receive their own nnises after 
 detention. The chairman of the Committee on Transjxirtation was
 
 56 CIlHONOUXilCAL SUMMARY. 
 
 given full charge of the matter. The (juestion of the payment of the 
 Harry Miner nurses came up and was thoroughly discussed. The 
 Board of Health was recjuested to submit vouchers to cover advances 
 made by the Execiitive C'ommittee upon requisitions. 
 
 The "Dajiiel Memorial Association" was perfected by the elec- 
 tion of Judge McLean chairman. The directors of the Florida Sub- 
 Tropical Exposition held a meeting and issued an address to the cit- 
 izens of Florida, saying that tlie Exposition would be opened in the 
 winter, as usual, and askingcoutributions and the hearty co-operation 
 of the peoi)le in the State. 
 
 October lo — At the meeting of the Executive Committee the 
 Committee on Clonference was instructed to consult vvith the Board 
 of Health and Dr. Porter in reference to the rules submitted by the 
 Surgeon-General for the disinfection of property, with instructions, 
 to endeavor to remove from the shoulders of the Association, or its 
 committees, the burden of determining the financial condition of cit- 
 izens whose property should be destroyed; and further, to express 
 the sense <jf the Association that it was inexpedient to make any dis- 
 crimination among individuals whose property should be destroyed. 
 The matter of the payment of the New Orleans nurses was brought 
 up by the President of the Board of Health, and he explained his in- 
 terpretation of the contract the Board had made, and the Committee 
 on Nurses and Medical Attention was notified in accordance there- 
 with. City Engineer R. N. Ellis was requested to prepare and fur- 
 nish Dr. J. y. Porter with a plan of the sewerage system of the city 
 for the information of the Government. The chairman of the Com- 
 mittee on Belief rei>orted that the committee was economizing in 
 every department, and were cutting down exi^enses daily. Over 
 seven thousand rations were cut oft" in the preceding two weeks, 
 and from three to four hundred people were being cut off daily. 
 Most of them were colored, who had been given work. Some dis- 
 cussion ensued regarding the stringent orders issued by the Board of 
 Health to keep refugees out of the city. Letters received from ab- 
 sent Jacksonville people indicated their intention to return before 
 the city was announced free from fever. The Board of Health, there- 
 fore, was requested to take measures to prevent this. 
 
 Some commotion was caused at the Medical Bureau, in the even- 
 ing, by tlie publication of an anonymous article in the Metropolis, 
 speaking of the proposed plan to pay home physicians for their sei'- 
 vices, upon the ground that volunteer physicians were paid. This, 
 in connection with other newspaper articles, induced the volunteer 
 physicians to withdraw in a body, and they tendered their resigna- 
 tion to Dr. Porter at a called meeting in the evening. President 
 Mitchell, of the Board of Health, thought their action hasty, and 
 rather ill-advised, which appeared tt) be the general sentiment, as

 the volunteer physicians had received the best of treatment in Jack- 
 sonville, and had been highly cunipliniented for their conduct in 
 coming, and their good work in the city. A special from Green Cove 
 Springs reported yellow fever in that town. 
 
 October 14 — Sunday afternoon, the Committee on Conference of 
 the Association and the Board of Health met, and consulted with re- 
 gard to the action of the members of the Medical Bureau, and passed 
 resolutions assuring the volunteer physicians that their bravery and 
 self-sacrifice were appreciated, and that the publications, which were 
 the cause of their grievances, did not reflect the sentiments of the 
 people of Jacksonville. In the evenijig, after communication with 
 the Tresident of the Board of Health, the volunteer physicians re- 
 scinded their action and went on duty as usual. 
 
 October 1') — At the Executive Committee meeting Bishop Weed 
 made a detailed report of his trip to Fernandina. Upon motion, it 
 was resolved to remit 65,000 to the assistance of Fernandina. The 
 Committee on Relief submitted a report covering a statement of their 
 work. The total number of ration cai'ds issued to date had been 
 4,648; number of cards recalled, 1,817; number of cards outstand- 
 ing, 1,531 ; number of people at that time being fed, 0,252. Another 
 petition (this one from citizens) was read to the Executive Commit- 
 tee, urging the Committee on Relief to take steps to abolish all com- 
 missaries of relief except one, and to issue rations only to widows, 
 orphans and decrepid people, and endorsing the efforts of the com- 
 mittee to furnish relief by the employment of labor, as a means to 
 the natural resumption of normal business. Letters were read from 
 the authorities at Gainesville, expressing appreciaticm for the assist- 
 ance rendered by the Executive Committee. A resolution of thanks 
 was tendered to Francis R. King-IIall, the special correspondent of 
 the New York World, for valuable services rendered to tlie Associa- 
 tion and the Avhole community, through the columns of that news- 
 paper, it being the eve of his departure for the North, lit. Rev. E. 
 G. Weed was xinanimously elected to till the vacancy in the Execu-

 that all relief furnished in the county should thereafter be given 
 through the Committee on Relief. Orange Pai-k asked for funds to 
 maintain her (quarantine guard, but the committee took action to

 responding secretary of the .Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary As.so- 
 ciation, died, late in the afternoon. He had been prostrated with 
 yellow fever for several days previous, and the day before was re- 
 ported as having a normal temperature, and was thought to be im- 
 proving. I^ate in the afternoon, in a manner inexplicable to his phy- 
 sicians and attendants, his temperature began to rise; just after 
 dark, it was 107i, and a few hours later he died. Dr. Fairlie lost his 
 wife a few days previous. He was a i)rorcinent business man, and 
 had lield many responsible positions in public affairs. 
 
 October IT — At the meeting of the Executive Committee a com- 
 munication was received from Sui-geon-General Hamilton relative to 
 the return of ihe refugees before the city was free from fever, and 
 expressing the opinion that the most stringent measures should be 
 adopted to keep them away until such time as they could come in 
 with perfect safety. The committee thoroughly approved the opin- 
 ion of the Surgeon-General, and instructed the Committee on Con- 
 ference to urge action on the part of the City Council, the Board of 
 Health, and Dr. Porter, in the i)remises. The chairman of the Com- 
 mittee on Sanitation reported that tliere were employed by that

 ployed by the committee on Uuval County at Large, and about one 
 hundred others were employed by tlie Association in general work 
 as a measure of relief. 
 
 A sjiecial committee was appointed to draft suitable resolutions 
 on the death of James M. Fairlie, corresponding secretary of the 
 Association. 
 
 The Western Union Telegraj)!! office suffered severely during the 
 epidemic. Among those wlio had l)een ill with yellow fever to date 
 were Superintendent B. F. Dillon, Manager D. J. Crowley, operators 
 Sweeney, Birkner, Shearer, Daniel, Ford, Hollenbeck, Armstrong, 
 Turner, DeForrest and O'DriscoU; clerks Webb, Converse, Smith, 
 and Robinson: six messenger boys were also sick. Ford, Hollen- 
 beck, DeForrest and Robinson died. Manager Crowley lost his wife. 
 Day Chief Wallace lost his wife and cliild. Miss O'Connor, the only 
 lady operatoi' in the office, received much praise for her kindly at- 
 tention to the sick boys. 
 
 October IS — At the meeting of the Executive Committee a com- 
 munication was received from Dr. Porter, stating that he liad been 
 misquoted in the published minutes of the previous day, and the 
 secretary explained that it was due to a change in the minutes made 
 by the paper. The Committee on Camp Mitchell was instructed to 
 complete oidy such houses as had the frames up, as it did not seem 
 likely that more wi>uld be needed; and the same committee was also 
 directed to erect two additional buildings for hospital ])urposes. A 
 resolution was adopted, stating tliat Camp Mitchell had been erected 
 at great expense, detailing tlie demands upon the Association for 
 relief iind sanitary jiurposes, and ie(iuesting the Committee on Re- 
 lief to close all commissaries on October 27tli, and to issue rations 
 only at Camp Mitchell to invalids, widows and orphans. This reso- 
 lution was referred to the Coinmittee on Relief for examination and 
 recommendation. A resolution was jjassed that all persons who de- 
 sired to go to Camp Mitchell, and were able, should pay their ex- 
 l>enses, to be charged at the rate of fifty cents per day. The matter 
 of the Harry Miner nurses was brought up again before the Execu- 
 tive Committee, as it appeared that those who remained in the city 
 were in a destitute condition. A resolution was passed asking in- 
 formation of the Board of Health as to their condition, and what 
 should be done in the premises. The President of the Board of 
 Health, in answer to inquiry, stated that most of the Miner nurses 
 had left Camp Perry; that most of them had had the fever. The 
 nurses were in destitute cii'cumstances, and Dr. Mitchell was re- 
 quested to ascertain the names, individual wants, etc., in order that 
 that the committee might act intelligently in the matter. The Com- 
 mittee on Transportation was instructed to confer with Dr. Porter, 
 and communicate with Surgeon Hutton. at Camp Perry, to arrange

 for the reception of nurses at the camp whenever the Committee on 
 Transportation shouhl guarantee that their transportation wouhl l>e 
 ready before the time of detention liad ehxpsed. 
 
 The Board of Health held a meeting in the afternoon to take 
 measures to restrain the refugees from returning, and issued a pro- 
 clamation to cover the matter-. A large number of people had 
 moved to Camp Mitchell, and had made the place quite lively. Re- 
 ne vs^ed efforts were made to induce others to go there, and especially 
 those who had not had the fever. 
 
 A sad death was reported from St. Nicholas on the previous day, 
 that of Edward B. Halliday. When the epidemic broke out he was 
 engaged in surveying on the Indian Biver. He was kept informed 
 by the office of the Signal Service, from day to day, as to the sick, 
 and when he learned that some members of his family were among 
 the new cases, he started at once for home. His friends tried to 
 dissuade him, telling him that he could do no good by returning, as 
 his child would either be dead or recovered by the time he could 
 reach there; but he started, in spite of all remomstrances, and as 
 the usual means of travel were all suspended, was compelled to 
 make the greater part of the journey on foot, but he overcame the 
 many difficulties and arrived at home, where, in a very short time,, 
 he was stricken with the fever and died. 
 
 October 19 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee a reso- 
 lution was adopted that in future no claims for property destroyed 
 ■would be paid by the committee. The Committee on Transi)or- 
 tation called up the action of the Executive Committee the previous 
 day, in requiring persons able to pay, to assume their expenses at 
 Camp Mitchell, and retpiested that such action be rescinded on the 
 ground of exjiediency. After full discussion, the Executive Com- 
 mittee, in accordance with the request, rescinded their action, and 
 provided that applicants for admission to Camp Mitchell should be 
 furnished transportation upon the recommendation of the jihysicians 
 formerly designated by the Board of Health. 
 
 A request was presented to tlie Executive Committee from the 
 Committee on Belief to pay the persons in the employ of the School 
 Board of Duval County, and employees of the fumigating depart- 
 ment, but, after discussion, the Executive C'ommittee referred tlie 
 matter to the proper authority.

 firam from Gainesville, asking for aid, and was directed to request a 
 conference in order to ascertain the wants of that city. A communi- 
 cation was read from the Clydes, of Xew York, saying that as sug- 
 gested by the Executive Committee, they would resume their regular 
 steamship service on November 10th; their first steamer to leave 
 New York on that day to connect at Mayport with the upper St. 
 Johns steamers. H. W. Clark was appointed chairman of the Com- 
 mittee on Transportation. A communication was read from the 
 Florida Auxiliary Kelief Committee in New York, making inquiries 
 about the Harry Miner nurses. The Executive Committee had se- 
 cured the complete correspondence which passed between the 
 Board of Health and Mr. Miner's agent, and the President of the 
 Association was recjuested to communicate the same to the chairman 
 of the committee in New York, with the expression of the opinion 
 by the Executive Committee that the nurses should be paid, and that 
 had it not been for the correspondence of Mr. Miner, they would 
 have been placed on the Government pay roll and have been paid by 
 the Government. Chairman E. B. McBride, of the Committee on 
 Sanitary Police, was leijuested to wind up the affairs of that com- 
 mittee and close up his headquarters. 
 
 October 21— Dr. J. Y. Porter, in charge of the Government Re- 
 lief Measures, in an interview Sunday afternoon, stated that the only

 and cotton goods would be boiled and cleansed, and carpets and 
 other heavier goods thoroughly baked.

 committee reported resolutions formulated on the death of James 
 M. Fairlie, which were unanimously adopted. President McQuaid 
 reported the result of his conference with the two representatives of

 able circumstances. 
 
 October 28 — At the Executive Committee meeting the Purchas- 
 ing Agent was authorized to send f)ne liundred pairs of blankets to 
 Camp Mitchell, ;us many people there had not provided themselves 
 with sufficient covering. A committee of three, consisting of 
 Messrs. Schumacher. Macduff, and II. W. Clark, was appointed to 
 draft suitable rules and regulations for the government of the camp. 
 The Committee on IJelief reported on the resolutions, previously 
 referred to that committee, for tlie abolishment of commissaries, 
 etc., that the committee believed tlie sudden abolishment of the 
 commissaries would be productive of suffering, but that, in accord- 
 ance with the spirit of the resolutions and the desire of the public 
 and members of the Executive Committee to reduce expenses, and 
 promote the natural resumption of business, the Committee on Re- 
 lief had taken action to gradually reduce the commissaries. The 
 Executive Committee resolved to cut off the guards who had been 
 theretofore in South Jacksonville. 
 
 A communication was read from fiainesville declining a confer- 
 ence, and stating that she preferred to dej^end upon outside sub- 
 scriptions. The Executive Committee believed that the authorities 
 in fJainesville could not have received a previous letter explaining 
 its position, and postponed any action until it could be ascertained 
 whether all communications from the committee had been received 
 in Gainesville. Dr. Porter stated to the committee that the visiting 
 physicians had tendered their resignations, as they believed that the 
 epidemic could then be handled by the local physicians. He said 
 that the action was taken in perfect good feeling and faith, and 
 added that the policy of the Bureau of Nurses and Medical Atten- 
 tion, under his direction, would be to send home all foreign nurses 
 and retain the local nurses. Surgeon-CJeneral Hamilton telegraphed 
 that the Government proposed to pay for the destruction of mat- 
 tresses, pillows and comforters necessarily destroyed in the houses 
 of the poor. 
 
 An api)eal was issued by C. C. Yonge, Grand Master of I. O. O.

 plications for aid by persons outside of the city limits he referred to 
 the County Commissioners. The Committee on Kelief reported the 
 reduction of commissaries, cutting off of rations, and abolishment of 
 Camp Howard. The chairman of the Committee on Sanitation re- 
 ported that there had been employed that week 1,765 men and 214 
 drays; and that i)ay for men would be cut down to ten cents per 
 hour, eight liours per day, and five days per week. The force was 
 ordered cut down to 1,000 men. The special committee reported 
 rules for the admission of api)licants to Camp Mitchell. The Com- 
 mittee on Transi)ortation, in answer to an inquiry, reported that the. 
 committee had received most generous treatment from the transpor- 
 tation companies in the matter of free transportation for nui-ses re- 
 turning to their homes, and that they were being sent out without 
 delay, as soon as the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention 
 advised the Committee on Transportation their services could be 
 dispensed with. 
 
 A telegram from (Gainesville was read, as well as the entire cor- 
 resi>ondence between the Executive Committee and Gainesville, and 
 the conference still being declined, the President was directed to for- 
 ward .*1,000 for the immediate wants of the authorities, and notify 
 them that, under the circumstances, no further aid could be furnished. 
 
 A special from Enterprise, at noon, reported the existence of 
 fever at that place. The newspapers published a letter from Sur- 
 geon-General Hamilton to Governor Perry, suggesting the establish- 
 ment of a State Board of Health by the Legislature. 
 
 October 2") — A meeting of the Association which had been called 
 to receive a report of the special committee appointed t(j formulate 
 the financial statement, was adjourned until the 2Ttli, as the state- 
 ment was not completed. The President of tlie Association read a 
 communication from Dr. Porter, enclosing correspondence from 
 Surgeon-General Hamilton, in relation to the destruction of property, 
 stating that the Govei-nment would only pay for property of such 
 persons as were unable to sustain the loss. A special committee 
 was appf»inted to formulate a communication, expressing the views 
 of the Committee that such discriminition would be unjust and pre- 
 vent a thorough disinfection of the city. Acting Mayor Gerow and 
 Councilman Wiggins i>aid a flying trip, on a special, to Sanderson 
 and Macclenny, as agents of the Executive Committee. They found 
 there had been no cases of fever for ten days in the former town, 
 and that Macclenny had six cases the previous day, and one death. 
 
 The City Council meeting was held in the afternoon, at which a 
 communication from Dr. Porter was read, enclosing Surgeon-General 
 Hamilton's suggestions as to the fumigation of the city, and what 
 portion of the infected property destroyed the Government would 
 pay for. All the Council unanimously agreed that the plan was ira-
 
 64 CUKOXOLOcilCAI, SUMMARY. 
 
 practicable, and that the only way to have all infected material 
 given up, was to have all property destroyed paid for. Resolutions 
 to this effect were passed and ordered sent to the Surgeon-General. 
 
 The Council declared the office of city sexton vacant, on account 
 of the absence from duty of the duly elected sexton. 
 
 The rapid spread of thefever in South Jacksonville started an ex- 
 odus, and many residents moved away; most of them going to 
 Sweetwater, or camping out in the woods near that section. Two 
 deaths were reported there in the morning. A house-to-house 
 canvass was started to-day in the city proper, by the Board of 
 Health, for the pviri>ose of locating all infected bedding, so that 
 when the city should be disinfected at the end of the epidemic, 
 there would be no chance of secreting any of the infected bedding 
 or clothing. The canvassers reported they were meeting with rebuffs 
 and threats on all sides. One of them was met with a shot;-gun in 
 the hands of an irate colored man and ordered to leave the premises, 
 instanter, the owner saying that they had iu> sickness there, and if 
 they had they would not tell of it. Another had two deer hounds set 
 on him, and a third had a i)an of hot water emptied on him by an 
 indignant colored woman. 
 
 October 26 — The Board of Health decided to close the Sand-Hills 
 Hospital as eai-ly as possible, and to keep open St. Luke's Hospital, 
 because of the more convenient loication of the latter. Only twenty- 
 three cases were reported for the twenty-four hours ending at six 
 o'clock, and the hopeful feeling that had prevailed for the last few- 
 days was increased. 
 
 October 27 — The Association meeting Saturday was largely at- 
 tended, as the long-expected financial statement was presented. 
 President McQuaid, who was chairman of the Special Committee, 
 read the report, which showed that up to October 20th $812,370.11 
 had been received, and $210,654.24 expended. The report was re- 
 ceived and adopted, and, u])on motion, a vote of thanks was unani- 
 mously tendered to the Executive Committee for the acceptable man- 
 ner in which it had performed its duties. The report was as com- 
 plete as possible, under the circumstances, and copies were sent to 
 contributors. A petition was presented to the Association, signed 
 by a large number of citizens of Jacksonville, asking that the resi- 
 dent physicians be recompensed from the funds of the Association 
 for their work. Some discussion ensued, and the matter was re- 
 ferred to the Executive Committee for action. It was reported to 
 the Medical Bureau that there was a large number of cases among 
 the refugees who had camped in the woods .sevei'al miles outside of 
 the city limits.

 them to their correspondent, S. A. Adams, to distribute. 
 
 October 2i> — At the Executive Committee n\eeting the chairman of 
 the Committee on Kelief stated that there were 7,523 peoi)le provided 
 for at the commissaries the previous week, notwith.standing every ef- 
 fort to cut down rations. The Committee on Sanitation reported 
 that neai'ly 1,700 men had been discharged by that committee to re- 
 duce expenses in its department, and to this end only about 700 
 men, •with carts, could be employed thereafter. The Committee on 
 Transi)ortation Avas instructed not to furnish transportation to home 
 people who desired to leave for other points, on accoinit of the late- 
 ness of the season, and the availability of Camp Mitchell as a place 
 of refuge. 
 
 A large number of prominent citizens met at the Board of Trade 
 rooms in the morning and formed the "Daniel Memorial Associa- 
 tion,"' with the following Board of Trustees: Kobert G. Coleman, H. 
 R. Duval, Rt. Rev. E. G. Weed, J. H. Durkee, W. A. McLean, R. D.

 was appointed Secretary. 
 
 October oO — The disbursements of the Auxiliary Association for 
 the week ending 27th of October amounted to S;>1),03.').71. The mat- 
 ter of the payment of resident jihysicians was brought up at the meet- 
 ing of the Executive Committee, and, after discussion by those pres- 
 ent, and by the Executive Committee, a resolution was passed de- 
 clining to give compensation, except in special cases as relief meas- 
 ures, and containing a retiuest to the Board of Health to designate 
 the proper compensation for such local physicians as had been and 
 were employed, at the Medical Bureau, under the direction of the 
 Board of Health and the Committee on Xurses and Medical Atten- 
 tion. 
 
 The thermometer went down to fifty-six degrees above zero the 
 previous night, that being the lowest jioint reached to date. Colder 
 weather was predicted, and awakened hope in the breasts of all. 
 
 October 31 — Dr. Porter announced to the Executive Committee 
 that he should discontinue the cordon around the city, as it did not 
 do its work; but in place of that, he would have the raihoads thor- 
 oughly guarded, and place detectives on the incoming trains. Then, 
 by having the CJity Council pass a strict ordinance against the return 
 of refugees, he expected to keep them out until it should be safe to 
 let them come.
 
 66 < lIHOXOI.cxilCAL SUMMARY. 
 
 Considerable excitement was caused at Camp Mitcliell, in the af- 
 ternoon, by the report that yellow fever was prevailino there. 
 
 November 1 — At the Executive Committee meetinij a resolution 
 was passed re<iuestin<;- that Dr. J. P. Wall, of Tampa, investigate the 
 reported sutt'ering at Palmetto and Mamitce from yellow fever. Five 
 hundred dollars was subsi'ribed for their relief, and .f;.50().00 was also 
 approjjriated for Enterprise, in answer to an appeal from G. F. Car- 
 lile, Secretary of the Board of Health of Volusia County asking for 
 aid. Captain W. C. Cooper, in charge of Camp Mitchell, reported 
 that 219 refugees had been received at that camp from Otober 1 to 
 31, inclusive, and also explained that the so-called yellow fever at 
 Camp Mitchell was, in fact, but a slight attack of malarial fever. A 
 report, with recommendations, was received from F. P. King-Hall, 
 appointed referee by the Florida Auxiliary Pelief Committee, in New 
 York, and Mr. Miner, to investigate the claims of the Harry Miner 
 nurses. President McQuaid and other members of the Executive 
 Committee made a tour of inspection of the work d<nie by the Com- 
 mittee on Sanitation on the streets of Jacksonville and its suburbs, 
 and expressed themselves highly pleased with the result. 
 
 The Board of Health issued an official notice to wain refugees 
 from attempting to return to the city until the annoiuicement should 
 be made that all danger was over. As the fever was still spreading 
 in South .Iacks(mville, aiu)ther physician was detailed to assist Dr. 
 Donahoo in that suburb. 
 
 November 2 — The chairman of the Committee on Pelief reported 
 that the Committees on Pelief and Sanitation had, as requested by 
 the Executive Committee, held a conference meeting, in which mat- 
 ters of relief and employment of labor were fully discussed. They 
 estimated that they would be able to C(mtinue relief measures and 
 employment as at that time until the middle of December at a total 
 expense of about .$06, 000. 
 
 November ;5 — At the meeting of the Executive Ccmimittee the 
 chairman of the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention pre- 
 sented a full written report regarding the Miner nurses, including 
 the expense incurred by them individually, as alst) necessary expense 
 for transportation home, which report was, upon motion, directed to 
 be communicated to Peferee King-Hall. A resolution was passed 
 providing for the payment of reasonable c()mi)ensation to the Secre- 
 taries of the Association. .\ special committee was appointed to rec- 
 ommend a settlement with the owners of Bans' block, which build- 
 ing had been used as heaihiuarters by the Committee on Nurses and 
 Medical attention throughout the greater part of the epidemic. 
 
 A sjjccial meeting of the City Council was held, at which a strin- 
 gent order was i)assed forbidding refugees to return to the city until

 the epidemic was announced over, under a fine of >;.")0().0() or impris- 
 onment not exceeding thirty days. 
 
 November 5 — At the Executive Committee meeting the Commit- 
 tee on Relief reported that some tliree hundred and fifty cards, rep- 
 resenting two thousand rations, had not been presented the previous 
 week, showing how it was reducing expenses. The Committee 
 on Sanitation presented statisti<;al tables at that time in use by the 
 committee, embracing information regarding each man employed, 
 giving his name, residence, sickness and deaths in family, where ra- 
 tions had been drawn, if at all, and where employed previously, etc. 
 Some discussion was had as to the sanitary work, and it was the sen- 
 timent of the committee that tlie Government should not be asked to 
 pay for work except of a strictly sanitary nature. Communications 
 were read by the President from Macclenny and Sanderson, request- 
 ing supplies and funds, and he was directed to carry out the agree- 
 ments made with the authorities of tliose places. 
 
 November (i — At the Executive Committee meeting Captain 
 Cooper was requested to take supplies to Sanderson and Macclenny 
 for the sufferers in those tt)wns. 
 
 One hundred and twenty-one people 'were reported in quarantine 
 at Camp Perry. On account of the very wet and rainy weather the 
 num])er of cases increasc<l, and the demand for nurses was very 
 great. 
 
 November 7 — At the Executive Committee meeting Dr. Daniel 
 brought up the matter of certain bills which liad been returned to 
 the Board of Health by the Executive Committee, which led to a 
 thorough discussion of the financial relations between the Board 
 of Healtli and the Executive Committee, with exjjlanations of the 
 po.sition of tlie committee, and the urgent necessity to curtail 
 expenses. Dr. Daniel gave it as his opinion, that the first of De- 
 cember might be considered a fairly safe estimate of the conclusion 
 of the epidemic, as a basis for calculating the expenses of the Associa- 
 tion. The chairman of the Committee on Kelief stated that the Cen- 
 tral Committee liad decided to consolidate all commissaries in one 
 building, which would be opened on the following Monday. Tlie 
 Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention rejjorted that several 
 nurses had been sent home in the morning. A petition from New 
 Berlin, Fla., signed by two hundred and fifty citizens, requesting 
 work, was presented. The committee respectfully referred the mat- 
 ter to the Board of County Commissioners, inasmuch as no cases of 
 yellow fever, to its knowledge, had occurred in that neighborhood. 
 November 8 — At the Executive Committee meeting Dr. Daniel 
 reported for the Board of Health, that it had requested him, in 
 connection with Dr. J. Y. Porter, to consider the matter of closing 
 the Bureau of Nurses and Medical Attention at the earliest moment

 possible. The publication of weekly financial reports was. upon mo- 
 tion, discontinued, as experience had proved that an increased de- 
 mand for labor and rations succeeiled every previous publication. 
 Another misunderstanding about the Miner nurses was br(night up 
 before the committee, and directions given to communicate with 
 Referee King-Hall and explain the situation. It was reported that 
 almost all the force employed by the Committee on Sanitation had 
 been withdrawn from the suburbs and from East Jacksonville, and 
 was then at work on the streets of the city proper, in grading and 
 rounding them up. Public interest was centered in the efforts of Mr. 
 C. B. Rogers, a prominent merchant in the city, in his endeavors to 
 get a special train Nortli. There were many who desired to leave 
 who could not afford the time necessary for a ten days' quarantine 
 at Camp Perry. It was understood that if cities outside would per- 
 mit the passage of the train, Surgeon-General Hamilton would give 
 permission for the people to be sent out. 
 
 November 9 — Word was received from Atlanta and Macon that 
 they would permit a special train to pass through, and Surgeon- 
 General Hamilton was wired to grant permission for such train. 
 
 November 10 — Captain W. C. Cooper re^iorted to the Executive 
 Committee on the results of his trip to Macclenny and Sanderson. 
 Mrs. Jerome, on behalf of the Miner nurses, and John Morris, a Pen- 
 sacola nurse, claimed consideration from the committee, on the 
 ground of alleged contracts. It was determined that after the fol- 
 lowing Monday the visiting corps of physicians would be through 
 ■with their labors in the city, and co.uld leave for their homes. The 
 Board of Health jjurijosed organizing a corps of local physicians, 
 whose duty it should be to look after the sick. 
 
 A great many people who had recovered from the fever and had 
 exposed themselves after dark had dangerous relapses. 
 
 November 12 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee the 
 Committee on Sanitation reported that about the same number of 
 laborers Avere employed as during the previous week, and that no 
 other roads would be shelled by that committee, except the roads 
 leading to the cemeteries, which had been undertaken as public 
 work for relief measures. 
 
 The chairman of the Committee oji Transportation presented a 
 written report showing that transijortation had been furnished for 
 one hundred and forty-five nurses, covering nearly every part of the 
 United States east of the Mississippi, and some points west of it, and 
 aggregated 8,791 miles of railroad, and 360 miles of steamboat traffic. 
 Through the generosity of the various transportation lines the total 
 cost had been but .$117.90. A peremptory notice was ordered pub- 
 lished that all outstanding bills against the Association be presented 
 before the 15th of November. A resolution of thanks was passed to

 A special received in the morning from P^llaville announced tlie 
 prevalence of yellow fever. Montgomery raised her (juarantine 
 against Decatur and Jacksonville, and passengers and baggage were 
 allowed to enter that city. After three days of waiting, Mr. C. B.

 ommendations of F. K. King-Hall, referee in the matter of the Miner 
 nurses, allowing most of the claims made by the nurses, and trans- 
 portation. The Executive Committee was asked to advance the 
 money, and the Secretary was directed to pay the amounts as speci- 
 fied in the telegram. Ways and means for cutting down expenses, 
 based upon the reports submitted by the Committees on Relief and 
 Sanitation, were considered. The Board of Health divided the city 
 into medical districts, and designated a local physician for each dis- 
 trict, in accordance with the agreement heretofore made. 
 
 The Times-Union contained the statement of Surgeon .John 
 Guiteras in reference to Camp Perry and the ti-eatment of i)atients

 early a date as possible, and that the staff of physicians for the care 
 of the sick and needy should be reorganized, by the employment of 
 local physicians, to be selected by the Board of Health, and that, so 
 far as possible, all needy .sick should be cared for at St. Luke's Hos- 
 pital thereafter, as the Sand-Hills was closed. President McQuaid 
 read a letter from Enterprise, asking assistance in bettering the san- 
 itary condition of the town, and estimating the cost at §2,.')00. The 
 President was requested to notify Enterprise that the Committee had 
 done all it could for the relief of the sick, and suggested that the 
 Surgeon in charge of Government Relief Measures be communicated 
 with in regard to the condition of the town.
 
 70 CHRONOT-OGIOAI, SUMMARY. 
 
 November 15 — The mortality in South .lacksonville increased^ 
 and the people became much alarmed over tlie malignancy of the dis- 
 ease. It was estimated that over thirty-two families had the fever 
 on the loth. Bay street was greatly excited in the morning by the 
 appearance of a refugee citizen and wife, passengers on the (Jlyde 
 steamer from Xew York to Mayport. They had come into the city 
 in defiance of the ordinance forbidding the return of refugees, and 
 had been promptly arrested by tlie police. After seeing the author- 
 ities they concluded to leave the city until permission was given 
 to return. 
 
 November 1(5 — At the Executive Committee meeting a telegram 
 was read from Dr. C!aldwell, of Enterprise, asking for financial assist- 
 ance to relieve the poor people of the county, to which the President 
 was requested to replj'^ that the Association could not undertake to 
 extend relief to the poor in communities where yellow fever had not 
 existed, and suggesting application to the county authorities. A 
 communication was read from the Board of Health, in reference to 
 the payment of Tampa nurses, and it was ordered returned to the 
 Board, with the recpiest tliat that body should advise the Exe(*utive 
 Ccmimittee of the terms upon which the services of the nurses had 
 been accepted. A conference was held between the Executive Com- 
 mittee, the Committee on Sanitation, the Board of Public Works and 
 the Superintendent of the City Railway Company, in order to har- 
 monize the grades of the street railway with the grades established 
 by the Board of Public Works, in the work done upon the streets by 
 the (-ommittee on Sanitation. 
 
 A publication was made of letters received from Live Oak by 
 Dr. C. J. Kenworthy, who had been asked by the Executive Com- 
 mittee to investigate an appeal published in tlie American Field, 
 which had the appearance of an attempt to impose upon the people, 
 in order to fraudulently collect contributions. The advices received 
 verified the suspicion, and it was stated that R. W. Russell, who 
 wrote the appeal, was an imposter. and tliat no relief was needed in 
 that town. 
 
 Fifteen cases were reported for the twenty-four hours ending at 
 six o'clock, but there was not a single death. 
 
 November 17 — At the Executive Committee meeting those of the 
 Harry Miner nurses who remained in the city were paid, on an aver- 
 age, fifty dollars each, as recommended by the refei-ee, and were 
 told that no more would be given tliem, except transportation home. 
 
 Dr. Porter published a card defining the relation of Surgeon- 
 General Hamilton and himself to the sufferers from yellow fever, 
 and to the President of the United States, in the distribution of funds 
 and the matter of infection. Dr. C. J. Burroughs was placed in 
 charge of South Jacksonville. By a strange coincidence the days of

 The I'^xecutivc ('ommittce discussed ways and means to close up the 
 different departments and consolidate them, to reduce expenses. Dr. 
 R. P. Daniel presented an itemized statement of the expenditures of 
 the Boanl of Health, of moneys received from the Exei'utive Com- 
 mittee. The chairman of the (\)mmittee on Nurses and Medical At- 
 tention rc])ortcd an estimate of his department for the ensuing week

 and all utensils and furniture, unnecessary, to the Pundiasing Agent, 
 The chairman of the Committee on Sanitation stated that the ex- 
 penses of the executive de])artment of his committee for tlie ensuing 
 week were fixed, including the ex])ense of two teams, at a total of 
 .■SHol.?'"), of wliich amount the (Jovernment would pay some ninety 
 odd dollars The number of men employed by this department ag- 
 gregated seven liundred and fifty. The chairman stated that while 
 tliere was no end to tlie amount of work that could be done by his 
 department, the work had to be reduced to correspond with the 
 amoiuit of money that coidd be expended as a relief measure. A 
 communication was read from the Board of Health in reference to 
 the jiayment of Tampa nurses during the time of their detention at 
 Camp Perry, recommending that nothing be paid them for such 
 time, and the Secretary was directed to make such announcement to 
 the parties intcrcste<l. A vacation of two weeks was granted to 
 President McQuaid. 
 
 A largely attended meeting of colored i^eople was held at one of 
 the halls to exjn-ess indignation at the reduction of laborers, and it 
 was addressed by Dr. L'Engle, Senator McMurray and others, who 
 assured the ])eople that the Auxiliary Association was doing all in 
 its power to alleviate suffering among the colored people in the 
 city. Several infiuential and reputnl>le colored men also si)oke in 
 the same vein.

 November 20 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee the 
 financial statement for the week ending November 17th showed ex- 
 penditures of $26,S)34.58. It was reported that the number of refu- 
 gees arriving at Camp Mitchell from October 1st to November 20th 
 was 305. A telegram from Surgeon-General Hamilton stated that the 
 authoi'ities had decided that all infected bedding in Jacksonville and 
 suburbs destroyed by order of Surgeon Porter should be i^aid for in 
 full, upon condition that the City Council should pass an ordinance 
 providing that any one concealing any infected articles should be se- 
 verely punished. This was acceptable to the people. A delegation 
 of citizens from Arlington, Mill Cove and Chaseville was present, 
 asking that public work be resumed in those sections. The commit- 
 tee were compelled to refuse further help from the funds in hand to 
 people who had not suffered directly from yellow fever, and a reso- 
 lution was passed asking the County Commissioners to do everything 
 possible to alleviate the distress in those jilaces. A letter was read 
 from Messrs. Wilson & Hunting, of Fernandina, containing a state- 
 ment to the effect that yellow fever had ceased to exist in Fex'nau- 
 dina, and, upon resolution, the Committee on Conference was charged 
 to confer with Dr. Porter and request an official report from the Ma- 
 rine Hospital Service of the condition of affairs at Fernandina, as 
 due to all jiarties concerned. The chairman of the Committee on 
 Transportation reported that action had Ijeen taken by his commit- 
 tee, under instructions of the Executive Committee, which had re- 
 sulted in a continuance of the Clyde steamship service to Mayport. 
 A claim for lost baggage was laid before the Executive Committee 
 by a lady who was unable to leave town on the special Government 
 train for Hendersonville, N. C. The Executive Committee declined 
 to pay for the lost baggage, as it thought that the services of the 
 committee in securing the special train without charge to refugees, 
 during the most trying jjortiou of the epidemic, was all that could 
 be expected from it. 
 
 November 21 — Vice-President Schumacher announced at the 
 meeting of the Executive Committee that the Florida Auxiliary Re- 
 lief Committee in New York, which had been requested by the Ex- 
 ecutive Committee to proceed to Washington to interview the Presi- 
 dent and urge the payment for all property destroyed in disinfection, 
 had succeeded in its mission, and that the announcement had been 
 made that all property of the sort would be paid for. The principal 
 question confronting the Executive Committee was how best to as- 
 sist the colored population. The funds were now getting low, and 
 economy had to be practiced. Geo. Whetmore, an influential colored 
 man, had a conference with the committee, and as a result, it was 
 decided to hire all unemployed men, heads of families, and employ 
 them upon public woi'k, paying eighty cents a day for that week.
 
 CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY. 73 
 
 sixty cents per day for the following week, and fifty cents? per day for 
 the third week. This, it was thought, would lead to the early re- 
 sumption of business in its normal condition. 
 
 November 22 — At the Executive Committee meeting the mem- 
 bers of the Committee on Relief were present, in order to consult in 
 regard t() relief measures. The agreement, made the previous day, 
 to employ all idle men, heads of families, at a sliding scale of wages, 
 was explained to the Committee on Relief, and it was requested 
 to furnish rations only to women and children who liad no male 
 support, and to the sick and disabled. 
 
 November 23 — At the Executive Committee meeting, a resolu- 
 tion was passed, asking the Board of County Commissioners to call 
 a special meeting, at the earliest pracitical date, to endeavor to re- 
 lieve the distress of the poor in the county, as the Committee could 
 not attempt to support the county poor. The City Council passed 
 an ordinance fixing the penalty for the concealment of infected arti- 
 cles, in accordance with the request of the Surgeon-General. 
 
 November 24 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee Dr. 
 Daniel, on behalf of the Board of Health, presented a report of 
 the special committee of that body, which had been appointed to 
 estimate the liabilities and future expenses of the Board, which re- 
 port was adoi)ted, except the recommendation for the payment of 
 local phy.sitians at the Medical Bureau. This portion of the report 
 was directed to be returned to the Board of Health, with a request 
 to specify whether local physicians should be paid during time of 
 sickness and inability to perform duty. Dr. Porter submitted com- 
 munications from Surgeon Ross, at Fernandina, stating that some 
 fever still existed there, but the situation was favorable. 
 
 Mayor D. J. Watkins and Mr. C. B. McClenny, of Macclenny, 
 appeared before the Association to confer with it about the wants of 
 that place. After going over the subject thoroughly, it was resolved 
 that .$400 should be given them, that sundry drviggists' bills should 
 be paid, and notice was given that no more aid could be sent Mac- 
 clenny. Over two thousand rations were issued during the day, and 
 the grand total of distribution, for the week, amoiuited to nearly 
 six thousand. 
 
 November 26 — Monday was a chiy long to be remembered by 
 Jacksonville, for its bright and cheering record. Not a single new 
 case of yellow fever was reported during the previous day. During 
 the night the thermometer went down, and the following is the 
 record: At nine o'clock, 85 degrees; at eleven o'clock, 3(5; at one 
 o'clock, 34; at three o'clock, 34; at four o'clock, 32; at five o'clock, 
 32. The announcement, in the morning, that frost had come, was 
 one of the first clieerful announcements that had been made since 
 August.
 
 74 CHRONOLOGICAL SUMArAIlY. 
 
 Tlie principal business trcinsacted by the Executive Committee 
 was in regard to taking action to insure tlie return of the refugees, 
 and the opening of business at the earliest possible day. Telegrams 
 were read from a large number of places throughout the State re- 
 garding the fall of temperature. A full statement of all property 
 belonging to the Association was ordered to be prepared. A com- 
 munication from New York established the fact that the Ladies' 
 Jacksonville IJelief Association had forwarded funds to (iovernoi- E. 
 A. Perry. As the committee had been advised that some assistance 
 had been received from Governor Perry, by localities asking for re- 
 lief at the hands of the committee, upon motion it was resolved tliat 
 the President should be requested to ascertain from the Governor 
 the amount of funds which had been received, and the disposition 
 of them. Notice was published that no further refugees would be 
 received at Camp Perry after the :5()th of November. 
 
 The announcement was ]>ublislicd that frost had appeared in 
 Fernandina. 
 
 Novemlter 27 — At the Executive CVunmittee meeting the Board 
 of Health reported that it was its opinion that all acclimated jier- 
 sons, then resident in Camp Mitchell, should be dischaiged and per- 
 mitted to return to the city, but it was deemed best not to close tlie 
 camp at that time, nor permit una<;climated persons to return. 
 
 The IJoard of Health held a meeting, in conference with the 
 Executive Committee and Dr. Porter, to discuss what should be done 
 since frost had made its ai)i)earancc. It was decided that, thence- 
 forth, no more <laily ofhcial bulletins slu'uld be published, as the 
 few cases reported were in the suburi)s and country. It was further 
 deci<led that the President of the Board of Health should issue a 
 proclamation, immediately, to tlie ett'ect that nobody would be ad- 
 mitted int<» the city, without a permit, until the fumigating process 
 was completed. A special coniinittcc of the City Council and Ur. 
 Porter decided to ajjpoint Dr. .John C. I/Engle and Mr. Fred. Page 
 as appraisers of material to be destroyed by the fumigating corps. 
 
 N'oveniber 2S — At the meeting of tlie Executive Committee a 
 resolution was jjossed that the Board of Health should be requested 
 to take sucli immediate action to protect the country by fumigation 
 and destruction of infected property as it deemed necessary, where 
 such property was located outside of the city limits, and beyimd the 
 jurisdiction of the city authorities. .Vlthough employment on sani- 
 tary work had been offered during the week to all men, regardless 
 of age or condition, ^udy about 1,.')()0 were employed. Sixty cents 
 was i)aid ]ter day of six hours. Dr. Daniel, on behalf of the Board 
 of Health, stated the position of the Board in reference to the ref- 
 ugee qiu'stion was that it would be necessary to keep all refugees 
 awa.y until the t'uniigatioii nf tiie city sliould be completed.
 
 OHRONOI.O(;iCAL SUMTVfARY. 75 
 
 A petition from W. P. Head, of Plant City, was read to the Ex- 
 ecutive Committee, requesting the Association to fjive him aid to 
 replace liis house, which had been burned at that place durinfjj the 
 process of fumigation under direction of the U>cal Board of Health. 
 It is hardly necessary to say that the Executive Committee declined 
 to pay the same. Tlu^ chairman of the Committee on Ilelief reported 
 upon the case of certain persons wlio had complained of receiving 
 no assistance, and stated that they had received relief from the Com- 
 mittee on I'clief, tin- Kuiohts of Pythias, the Masons, and sonu^ in- 
 dividuals. 
 
 The Executive Committee <in\e instructions to notify the Treas- 
 iiry Department, and tlie auth«uities, tliat the President, A'ice-Presi- 
 dent and 'i'reasnrcr of the .\ssociation had been authi)rized to sign 
 vouchers for sanitary work, supplies, etc. The (diairman of the 
 Committee on Transportation was directed to give notice that all 
 nurses desiring free transportation must register on or before the 
 10th of December. 
 
 Novemltcr 2'.l--The IJoard of Health decided to resume the 
 official bulletins of yellow fever, so that the wane of the epidemic 
 could be seen by all. A novel feature of the afternoon was the ar- 
 rival of a si)etial train from Fernandina, bringing about twenty citi- 
 zens of that place. Thanksgiving .servi(;es were Iield at St. .Johns 
 Episcoi)al Church at eleven o"clo(;k. Union services were held at 
 the Newnan Street Presbyterian church, and services were held 
 elsewliere throughout the city. 
 
 November ;50 — At the Executiv*' Committc- meeting tiu' matter 
 of keeping out the refugees was brought up. Public opinion was 
 divided as to the stand taken by tlie Hoard of Health, and much dis- 
 cussion ensued in regard to it. Tbt' Executive ("ommittee believed 
 it wi.se to await the approval of Dr. Porter, who liad l)een i)laced in 
 full control of tlie <lisinfection of the city, and in tluit view, at the 
 time, the Boarrl i>i Health concurred, and liad taken action. 
 
 A rumor that several hundred refugees were coming into the 
 <!ity, on a si^ecial train, created a sensation. 
 
 December 1 — The chairman of the Committee on Camp Mitchell 
 stated that there was enough lumber at that place to comi)lete three 
 houses, for which foundations had already been built, and be was 
 granted authority to erect the same. At tlie commissary there were 
 no new cards issued, but 47S rations were issued on the regular 
 cards, and ;5o")i temporary lations. There were still 2,00;! ration 
 cards outstanding, and 15S had Ijeen recalled. The amount of the 
 pay-roll for the commissary dei)artment for the week was §148.50. Dr. 
 Porter, Surgeon in charge of Government Kelief Measures, issued 
 an address to the public, giving the details of the work of fumiga- 
 tion and disinfection that would be begun on the following Monday,

 the 3d of December. It set forth what property woiikl be destroyed, 
 how it woukl be paid for, and outlined, generally, the system 
 adopted. Dr. Porter also issued a circular to the citizens of Jack- 
 sonville in regard to airing closed houses, and clothing and bedding^ 
 that had been packed away. 
 
 Only five new cases were reported to six o'clock, all of them be- 
 yond the city limits. 
 
 December 3 — At the meeting of the Executive Committee the 
 chairman of the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention re- 
 ported that several Charleston nurses were still in town, as that city 
 refused to receive them. Upon motion, the chairman [was author- 
 ized to pay Charleston nurses their necessary expenses during the 
 detention at Camp Perry, in consideration of the fact that Chax-les- 
 ton had assumed payment of their salaries during their stay in Jack- 
 sonville, upon the understanding that their expenses were paid by 
 the Association. The Purchasing Agent was authorized to secure 
 the building belonging to General William Baya fer a store room, and 
 was given authority to close up the present work of Purchasing 
 Agent at the end of the week. Secretary Adams presented recom- 
 mendations and suggestions for preparing a full report of the work 
 done by the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association during the 
 epidemic, which were adopted. A letter was receive<l from Gover- 
 nor Perry, in answer to inquiries, giving a statement of the moneys 
 received by him from New York, and its disposition. 
 
 The fumigating corps began work. There were ten gangs in all, 
 making a total of seventy-flve men. Dr. Kenworthy, at the same 
 time, commenced disinfecting the city sewers with burning sulphur 
 and other material. 
 
 December 4 — At the Executive Committee meeting the chair- 
 man of the Committee on Transportation reported answers to tele- 
 grams sent to Charleston, Pensacola, New Orleans and Mobile, ask- 
 ing whether nurses would be allowed to return without detention by 
 quarantine, most of them being in the affirmative. 
 
 At a meeting of the Boai'd of Health it was decided that the 15th 
 of December should be the day when the refugees might be allowed 
 to come into the city. The City Council was notified, and that body 
 instructed the Acting Mayor to issue a proclamation to that effect. 
 The City Council also tlecided that people coidd come in December 
 10th, provided they did not sleep in the city at night. 
 
 December 5 — At the Executive Committee meeting the chair-

 Ten thousand dollars was advanced to Dr. Porter by the Execu-
 
 <;HKONOLO(iICAL SUMMARY. 77 
 
 tive Committee, to expedite the fumigation then being done in the 
 city, to be refunded by the Government. Twenty extra gangs of 
 men and forty extra wagons were added to the disinfecting corps^ 
 making a total of sixty wagons and over one hundred and fifty men 
 emph)yed.

 mattresses had been taken and destroyed, by the non-arrival of the 
 mattresses that the (iovernment had ordered to replace them. 
 
 December 7 — At the Executive Committee meeting several cases- 
 of destitution still at Sanderson were reported, and the Secretary 
 was directed to correspond with F. J. Pons, Jr., of that place, and 
 ascertain the truth in the matter, and the Purchasing Agent was in- 
 structed to forward whatever provisions were needed. The Com- 
 mittee on Sanitation was directed to make arrangements to sweep 
 the paved streets of the city for the ensuing week. One thousand 
 six hundred and forty men were still working on the roads in and

 munication from tln' Boartl of Health was read, containing data of 
 the employment of local physicians under the Medical lUireau, as 
 requested, and payment was directed in accordance therewith. Th& 
 communication stated that there was only one patient at St. laike's, 
 Robert Walker, a young Englishman, who was convalescent. When 
 he could be discharged, the hospital would be cleansed and fumi- 
 gated, and probah)ly closed for sonie days, while the i)liysicians, ma- 
 trons and nurses enjoyed a well earned rest. 
 
 December 9 — It was announced that after the l.")th of December 
 there would be no more free transportation issued by the Committee 
 on Transportation for nurses. 
 
 For the three weeks ending the 8th of December, during 
 which time the commissary in Foster's Lane had been in operation, 
 17,548 rations were distributed through regular weekly cards, and 
 3,62;5 temporary, making a total of 21,171 rations. There were 960 
 cards withdrawn during the week, and it was hoped that the ones 
 outstanding would be reduced to about one thousand. 
 
 A special train on the Savannah, Florida aiul Western was ex- 
 pected in the morning with the lirst detachment of refugees, but on 
 account of the c<mtinued warm weather it was decided not to allow 
 them in. 
 
 December lO^At the meeting of the Executive Committee the 
 Purchasing Agent was directed to receive the stores then in tlie sick 
 department of the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention, and 
 turn over such of them to the Committee on Relief as that commit- 
 tee could use to advantage. A large number of financial reports-
 
 78 <HKOXorxK;i('AL summary. 
 
 ■were received and accepted. Tlie Board of Health presented, 
 throufrli its Committee on Finance, a supplementary report contain- 
 inj; additional bills paid by the Board of Health. The Executive 
 Committee requested Secretary Charles S. Adams to compile, edit 
 and i)ublis]i the report of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Asso- 
 ciation. 
 
 Uj) to tlie Satunhiy nij^lit previous, the (Tovernment had expended 
 about s7,i)S2.41 for articles destroyed. Ei^jht hundred and seventy 
 mattresses. S()4 pillows. r)42 comforts, 1,750 yards of straw matting, 
 and GO yards of cari)et were burned. Among the peculiar articles 
 that met the disinfecting corps were fourteen pillows stuffed with 
 cat tails, two with rab])it liair, and two with sponges. A large num- 
 ber of rag and ])a]>er piUows were found in the course of this unpar- 
 alleled microbe hunt. 
 
 A vast differeiue was seen in the appearance of Bay street, by 
 noon, upon tlie advent of hundreds of refugees, who came in by 
 steamer, row-boat, teams, and many other means of conveyance. 
 The greetings l)etween the refugees and the stay-at-homes were most 
 hearty, and the former seemed as ghul to return as the latter were 
 tc) receive them. 
 
 I)eceml)er 1 1 — At tlie meeting of the Executive Committee, in 
 accordance with a communication from the Purchasing Agent, the 
 stock of goods remaining in the general supply department was or- 
 dered to be removed from the warehouse of the Clyde Company's

 tal, in the evening, restoring it to its original management. The 
 Waycross mail fumigating car, from August 1st to December 1st, 
 handled 2,r);5(),S45 pieces of mail matter: and some idea of their work 
 may be gained by the statement that each piece had tt) be handled 
 separately four times in the process of fumigation. The Pablo 
 colony celebrated the departure of the epidemic by a grand banquet 
 at that seaside resort. 
 
 December 12^Atthe meeting of the Board of Health it was re-

 two jihysicians detailed. A train on the Jacksonville, Tampa and 
 Key West Bailway entered the city, the fir.st on that road .since Au-

 many hundreds. Citizens arrived by train and boats, many reach- 
 ing tlie city late the previous night by private conveyances and on 
 foot. Extia trains were run (in all the roads, and all of them were 
 well tilled. Business was resumed, and the opening of the .scores 
 of closed stores on Bay and otlier streets in the city, and the rehabi- 
 tation of closed houses, gave an air of business activity and bustle

 AKsocioHon : 
 Gentlemen : 
 
 The Exeeutive Committee of the .Jacksonville Auxiliary Sani- 
 tary Association received, on the hSth instant, a communication from 
 Dr. Joseph Y. Porter, Surgeon in charge Government Relief Measures 
 in Florida, which recalled the fact tliat he had consented to take 
 charge of relief measures September 10, ISSS, under appointnuHit of 
 Surgeon-General .John 1>. Hamilton, Marine IIos]Mtal Service, at the 
 earnest retfuest of this Association, seconded by tlie Duval (k)unty 
 Jioard of Health, and now asks tlie consent of the Association and the 
 Board of Health to his application to Surgeon-General Hamilton to 
 be relieved from his duties here, in order to (tbtaiu rest before re- 
 suming the active practice of his profession at his home in Key West. 
 
 Your Executive Committee tliinks this recpu'st. coming from a 
 man wlio has served the Association, tlie citizens of .Jacksonville, 
 and the State of Florida continuously, night and day, without com- 
 pensation, for four months, to tlie sacrifice of his private business 
 and the loss of his ])ersonal comfort, deserves the careful considera- 
 tion and united action of this Association as a body. 
 
 It is impossible, in the nature of the case, for the membeis of 
 the Association, or the citizens of .Jacksonville, to a]»preciate so 
 thoroughly as (h) the memliers of this Executive Committee the 
 scope of the work Dr. Porter assumed in their behalf, or the care 
 and patience which has been exercised by him in executing its de- 
 tails. 
 
 At the outset, by the recpu'st of the Association and the lo(;al 
 authorities, Dr. Porter took charge of all nurses under pav of tlie 
 Government, and soon assumed, in rapid succession, the command 
 of the sanitary cordon, the contnd of medical sujjplies for the indi- 
 gent sick, and the supervision of St. laike's and Sand-IHlls Hospi- 
 tals, and finally, the entire onerous burden of disinfecting every 
 house in this city wliere a ease of yellow fever occurred. Nor is this 
 all. Besides the work for .Jacksonville, Dr. Porter directe<l similar 
 relief measures in Fernandina, Enterprise, Macclenny, Sanderson 
 and Gainesville. In this position of power and trust, as a medium 
 between the Government of the United States and tlie citizens of 
 Florida, Dr. Pin-ter has been as hjyal to the one as friendly to the 
 other; he has neglected no means; he has sjiared no labor that could 
 benefit his fellow-citizens, but has, at the same time, con.scien- 
 tiously and scrupulously guarded the interests of tlie service he rep- 
 resented. 
 
 Your Executive Committee has, so far as possible, lightened the 
 burden and strengthened the hands of our friend, and has noted 
 with admiration, throughout the gloom and weariness of the epi- 
 demic, the executive grasp of the chief, the courteous patience of 
 the gentleman, the sympathetic skill of the physician, and the cor- 
 dial fellowship of the man. 
 
 Gentlemen of the Association and fellow-citizens, the Executive 
 Committee submits the following preamble and resolutions for your 
 action : 
 
 WnEBEAS, Dr. .Joseph Y. Porter, of Key West, P'lorida, is on 
 the eve of severing his official connection with the City of Jackson-
 
 84 CHKONOLCXilCAI, ^SlIMMAKY. 
 
 ville, as Surgeon in charge of (Government Relief Measures in Flor- 
 ida, be it 
 
 Resolved^ That the nnaninioiis thanks of the Jacksonville Aux- 
 iliary Sanitary Association l)e tendered to him, on behalf of tlie peo- 
 ple of Jacksonville, as '' one that loved his fellowmen," and accepted 
 for their sake a delicate official position during the trying hour of 
 the recent epidemic, and executed the consequent exacting duties to 
 their entire satisfaction, at the expense of brain, nerve and health; 
 at a loss of time and money, at a sacrifice of individual interests that 
 he alone can fully estimate. 
 
 Re!<olv('il, That an engrossed copy of these resolutions, properly 
 authenticated, be presented to Dr. Porter, as the honest expression 
 of our appreciation, gratitude and respect.

 Dr. J. C. L'Engle moved the adoption of the resolutions, which 
 was seconded in short speeches by P. E. McMurray, Dr. R. P. Daniel, 
 Mr. D. T, Gerow, B. F. Dillon, Dr. Neal Mitchell, T. J. Boyd, Colonel 
 John T. Talbott and Major J. H. Durkee. The resolutions were 
 unanimously adopted, and President McQuaid presented them to 
 Dr. Porter, with some well chosen remarks. Dr. Porter, in response, 
 humorously, but feelingly expressed his appreciation, after which 
 Yice-President Schumacher, on behalf of the Association, presented 
 to Dr. Porter a gold watch and chain, suitably designed and en- 
 graved. The gift was received by Dr. Porter with thanks, stated in 
 a few simple words, showing that he appreciated the feeling which 
 prompted the expressions and the gift more than the article itself. 
 
 February 2 — At a meeting of the Executive Committee the Com- 
 mittee on Conference reported the views of the Board of Health on 
 the proposed settlement with St. Luke's Hospital. Final action was 
 postponed. The Committee on Claims was relieved from the con- 
 sideration of one or two claims which were on the face of them be- 
 yond the proper jurisdiction of the committee. 
 
 February 7 — A settlement with St. Luke's Hospital was again 
 discussed. An itemized statement of the amounts advanced to the 
 Government, the matter of disinfection, and the moneys refunded 
 for the same, was ordered. 
 
 February 9 — At the Executive Committee meeting the Commit- 
 tee on Conference was instructed to confer with the city authorities 
 and obtain their views in regard to the $5,000 paid the city during 
 the epidemic. Several returned claims from the Government were 
 considered and acted upon. 
 
 February 11 — At the Executive Committee meeting the Commit-
 
 chuox(>i.(><;K'al suinrARY. 85 
 
 tee on Claims reported a large number of claims which were taken uji 
 and examined serintun and acted upon. Instructions were given to pay 
 no curators of estates, hut only administrators and executors, upon 
 proof of their representative capacity, and a form was decided upon 
 to be attached to each claim, releasing the city, county and Associa- 
 tion for any further liability. 
 
 February 19 — A final settlement was arranged for the i)ayment 
 ■of damages to .St. Luke's Hospital. Action was taken to vest the 
 title of property at Camp Mitchell in the Association. Tlie Presi- 
 tlent was directed to confer with Dr. J. Y. Porter in reference to 
 •closing up all matters between the Government and the Association. 
 A large number of claims were carefully examined by the Executive 
 Committee, and action taken, upon the recommendation of the Com- 
 mittee on Claims. 
 
 February 20 — Appropriation was made of a small amount of 
 money for additional pay rolls to local physicians, at the request of 
 the Board of Health, based upon a mistake of the Board of Health 
 in computing the amount due. Corresponding Secretary Cockrell 
 reported upon the linancial statement in preparation for the final re- 
 port of the Association. The chairman of the Committee on Nurses 
 and Medical Attention was authorized to dispose of the, property left 
 over by his committee at private sale, the expenses of auction and 
 public sale being greater than the small number of articles would 
 justify. The Committee on Conference reported that the City Coun- 
 •cil had appointed a special committee to confer with the committee 
 from the Association in reference to finance matters. 
 
 March 8 — At the Executive Committee meeting Corresponding 
 Secretary Cockrell reported progress on the linancial statement. 
 Several claims were discussed and adjusted. The Executive Com- 
 mittee were advised that the Vice-President had received a commu- 
 nication from an attorney, requesting additional remuneration for a 
 local physician. The Secretary submitted the contract which had 
 been made for publishing the report of the Association. His action 
 was approved. 
 
 There were special meetings of the Executive Committee on 
 March 10th, March loth and March 14th, to read the report as pre- 
 pared by the editor, and to examine the financial statement. No 
 other action was taken, except to discuss one or two individual 
 claims. 
 
 March 18 — Special meeting of the Executive Committee to con- 
 sider claims. 
 
 March 23 — Special meeting of the Executive Committee to con- 
 sider claims. The chairman of the Committee on Nurses and Medi- 
 cal Attention reported on the matter of drug bills, and was directed

 t<t request Dr. K. P. Daniel and Dr. J. Y. Porter to examine tlie re- 
 port and advise tlie committee of tlieir views. 
 
 March 27 — Called meeting of the Executive Committee. Action 
 was taken on certain claims. The special committee theretofore ap- 
 pointed to confer with the City Council reported that it had tried tO' 
 arrange a conference several times, but had failed, and that, in the 
 absence of action by the city authorities, it would recommend that 
 the .*.5,00() advanced to the city by the Association be eonsidei'ed in 
 the report as money advanced to the city for municipal purposes. 
 Tlie secretaries were directed to prepare and submit to the commit- 
 tee an estimate of the exjjenses attendant upon publishing the re- 
 port of the Association, in order to provide for a contingent fund in 
 tlie financial statement. The matter of the payment by the Govern- 
 ment for the buildings erected at Camp Mitchell was brought up,, 
 and the President re<iuested to correspond with proper authorities 
 anil urge a prompt settlement. 
 
 March 2'.t — There was a called meeting of the Executive Commit- 
 tee on the aliove date. Action was taken in reference to certain 
 claims. The drug bills were brought up, examined, and ordered 
 paid, in accordance witli the report of the Committee on Xurses and 
 and Medical Attention, and the report of Drs. R. P. Daniel and J. Y. 
 Porter. The secretaries presented an estimate for a contingent fund,, 
 and, after discussion, the recommendations were approved, and 
 §2, .500 appropriated for a contingent fund, executive, to meet the 
 expenses of publisliing the final report, and emergencies which might 
 arise in winding uj) the affairs of the Association. 
 
 April 1 — There was a called meeting of the Executive Commit- 
 tee. Some action was had on claims, and, after considerable discus- 
 sion, it was resolved that $2,000 be covered into a contingent fund,, 
 for tlie payment of such claims as the Executive Committee should 
 thereafter deem just. The Secretary was instructed as to the meth- 
 ods of i}a.vment from the two contingent funds. Tlie petition from 
 various charitable institutions wliicli bad been theretofore presented 
 was taken up and discussed, and resulted in tlie adoption of the fol- 
 lowing preambk' and resolutions: 
 
 AViiKKKAs. A petition has been presented to this Executive Com- 
 mittee by ladies, representing different local charitalile institutions,, 
 praying that the Executive Committee will appropriate ^1.000 to the 
 institutions mentioned in said petition, and

 tions, be it

 The financial statement was examined and approved, and also 
 the written report to accompany the statement, and the President 
 was re(iuested to call a meeting of the Association to receive the 
 same. 
 
 April 2— 'I'he .lacksdnville Auxiliary Sanitary Association met at 
 the Board of Trade rooms, in pursuance of puhlished notice, and was- 
 called to order hy President P. McQuaid. who stateil that the ohject 
 of the meeting was to receive and act ui)on the financial statement 
 prepared by the Executive Committee. 
 
 Colonel J. E. Hart, President of the Board of Trade, was invited 
 to a scat on the i)latform. and, upon motion, the reading of the min- 
 utes of tlie last meeting and calling of the roll having been disi>ense(l 
 with, tlie Secretary of the Association read the following report:

 Your Executive Committee begs to submit to your consideration 
 a (iiiancial statement of the receii)ts and disbursements made by it of 
 the funds entrusted to it as the rei)iesentative of your Associati(»n, 
 and in doing so. desires lo suggest that a committee of this Associa- 
 tion be selected to audit tiie accounts of the Executive Committee, 
 comjjare the statement witii the original vouchers an<l books on tile 
 in the office, examine the methods adopte<l to i)reserve the docu- 
 ments of the Association, and report to an adjourned meeting of this 
 Association for its action. Tliis report of the Auditing Committee 
 and the action of the .\ssociation thereoii, together with the financial 
 statement, is intended for insertion in the full report of the A.ssocia- 
 tion, now being prepared for publicaticm: and your Executive Com- 
 mittee recommends, in order to secure prompt and thorough work, 
 that the number of members selected to compose the Auditing Com- 
 mittee be limited, and that men be chosen who can, and will, give it 
 their immediate attention. 
 
 Vou will observe that the statement shows a surplus, wliicli in- 
 chules the amount due by the Government; and the Executive Com- 
 mittee, while it believes that the members of this As.sociation, as an 
 association, are the proper i)ersons to decide upon the best disposi- 
 tion of this fund, thinks it not (Uit of place to state its own views 
 briefly. 
 
 The committee has. for some time, hoped and believed that a 
 moderate surplus would renniin after the expenses of tlie epidemic 
 were met, and lias carefully considered the matter of its disposition 
 at dilferent times, and now unanimously recommends that the Asso- 
 ciation correspond with the mayors of the cities which have contrib- 
 uted most generously to the yellow fever sufferers, in order, if pos- 
 sible, that a plan may be adopted l>y which this surplus shall be con- 
 fided to trustees, to form a nucleus of a fund for the relief of suffer-
 
 88 CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY. 
 
 crs from yellow fever. While it is impracticable to return the money 
 [)rn rata to the contributoi's, the committee believes that it is policy, 
 honesty and wisdom to devote this small part of the large fund sent 
 to the yellow fever sufferers to the assistance of other unfortunates 
 from a similar cause, and to divorce its management, as much as pos- 
 sible, from local influences, and urges the action of the Association 
 to this end. 
 
 The committee, in presenting this report, feels that is has about 
 completed its work, and suggests that a meeting of the Ai«sociation 
 be called, at an early day, to elect officers, to make such changes as 
 experience may suggest in th« articles of the Association, and to 
 take measures to complete the incorporation and perpetuity of the 
 Association. 
 
 In conclusion, the committee, which has, from time to time, in 
 an imperfect manner, in general terms expressed its appreciation of 
 the generosity of our fellow-countrymen, thinks it proper now for 
 the Association to take action, and, therefore, submits the following- 
 preamble and resolutions of thanks for your consideration and ac- 
 tion : 
 
 WiiEKKA.s, The inhabitants of the city of Jacksonville, Fla., 
 were the recipients of boundless sympathy, aid and charity, during 
 the recent yellow fever epidemic, from the people of the entire coun- 
 try, be it

 bers of Congress, and the Florida Representatives at Washington;

 CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY. S9 
 
 The suggestion tliat an auditing committee be selected to ex- 
 amine the books and accounts was adopted, and, upon motion, it 
 was voted that a special committee of live members be named by the 
 Chair for that purpose. 
 
 President McQuaid suggested that, as he was a meml)er of the 
 Executive Committee, whose accounts wei'e to be examined, it would 
 be better to select the committee in some other way, and, upon mo- 
 tion, President Hart, of the Board of Trade, was asked to select the 
 committee, and was, upon motion, added to the Auditing Com- 
 mittee. 
 
 The recommendation of the report, so far as it applied to the 
 surplus, was adopted after some discussion, and the President and 
 Executive Committee were asked to open correspondence with the 
 mayors of various cities, in accordance therewith. 
 
 The recommendation of the report as to the necessity of a meet- 
 ing of the Association to elect oflicers, amend articles of association, 
 etc., was adopted, and, upon motion, it was voted that the President 
 should call such meeting, and give notice thereof, whenever the Aud- 
 iting Committee shall be ready to report, so that the report may be 
 l)resented, and the other business transacted at the same place and 
 time. 
 
 The preamble and resoluticns of thanks embraced in the report 
 were read, and, after the addition of another clause. Avere unani- 
 mously adopted. 
 
 Colonel Hart announced the appointment of the other members 
 of the Auxiliary Committee as follows: S. B. Hubbard, B. H. Bar- 
 nett, J. H. Norton, J. L. Marvin and J. H. Durkee, after which the 
 meeting adjourned subject to the call of the Chair.

 This statement would be sufficient in itself were it not for the 
 fact that this committee was organized among our citizens to combat 
 an epidemic, and that of the original nine members of the P^xecu- 
 tive Committee of this Associaticm, four laid down their lives that 
 others might live. Moneys received by your Association, as repre- 
 sented in the above condensed statement, were the voluntary contri- 
 butions of sympathetic people and ct)mmuuities all over our country, 
 and the fact that this large sum of numey was so carefully expended 
 that a voucher can be found for each separate item of expense, 
 speaks volumes for the business capacity and integrity of the gentle- 
 men who were custodians of this fund. We feel it a duty incum- 
 bent upon us to publicly acknowledge the gratitude of our citizens 
 for the arduous and disinterested service performed by the members 
 of this connnittee, who, without reward, or the lioi)e thereof, nursed 
 the sick, buried the dead, fed the hungry, clothed the destitute, em- 
 ployed the idle, and preserved i)ublic order throughout the long- 
 weary days from August il to December b'j, ISSS. and through whosi' 
 tireless eiforts the city of .lacksonviUe, at the close of the epidemic,

 The report was. upon motion, received and approved. Presi- 
 <lent McQuaid, on behalf of the Executive Committee, expressed 
 thanks for the work of this committee, and their kind words, and 
 stated that the satisfactory condition of the books and papers was 
 <iue, in great part, to the care of the Secretaries, and that to the care 
 and work of Corresponding Secretary A. William Cockrell, Jr., espe- 
 cially, was due the credit of the method of book-keeping adopted 
 and carried out in detail. Mr. Cockrell assumed the i)Osition of 
 Auditor immediately after his sickness, and under his supervision 
 the book-keepers had not allowed the work of the ci)idemic to get 
 beliind. 
 
 President Mc(^uaid then stated that it was necessary fmthe Asso- 
 •ciation to take action to elect an Executive Committee, which should 
 select otHcers and complete the organization of the Association as a 
 corporation, in order to be able to meet any possible crisis effectively, 
 with the experience of the i^ast year to draw from, and stated that 
 he would adjourn the old Association. Tlie Association was at once 
 called to order, and Major J. H. Durkee was elected temporary 
 chairman, and Charles S. Adams temporary secretary. 
 
 Upon motion, it was resolved that the chairman shall select a 
 committee i)n nomination, of which he shall be one, which shall re- 
 port to an adjourned meeting of the Association the nominations for 
 members of the Executive .Committee of the new corporation, and 
 shall call a meeting of the association as soon as the committee shall 
 be ready to report, and that written notices of such meeting shall be 
 sent by the Secretary to each member of the Association. 
 
 The resolution was adopted, and the meeting adjourned, subject 
 to the call of the Chair. 
 
 April 2'i — At a meeting of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary 
 Association the special committee on nominations reported, and tlie 
 following gentlemen were unanimously elected members of the Ex- 
 ecutive Committee for the ensuing year: Right Rev. E. G. Weed, 
 Eev. Father William J. Kenny, John C. L"Engle, Peter Jones, Wil- 
 liam A. Macdutf. Daniel T. Gerow, and A. W. Cockrell, Jr. 
 
 Action was taken to request the Committee on Relief to luaintain 
 its organization. The thanks of the Association were unanimously 
 tendered to Messrs. P. McQuaid. J. >r. Schumacher and P. E. Mc-

 EXECUTIVE EXPENSES. 
 
 Xo separate part of the Report has been devoted to the Execu- 
 tive Committee, as was explained in the introduction; and as the 
 preceding pages have been devoted mainly to abstracts of the min- 
 utes of the Executive Committee, the financial statement of ex- 
 penses incurred by the Committee is appended here. It must be re- 
 membered that these expenses include all the general expenses of 
 the Association ; that the pay-rolls for the clerical force emjiloyed 
 covers all the expenses of the Committee on Finance, and that 
 some expenses incurred for the Association, Avhich could not be 
 properly charged against any other of the departments of the Asso- 
 ciation, are embraced in the account of tlie Executive Committee:

 COMMITTEE ON FINANCE, AND GENERAL FINANCIAL 
 STATEMENT. 
 
 The active measures adopted by the Executive Committee to put 
 the city in thorough sanitary condition immediately upon tlie official 
 announcement of the epidemic by the Board of Health necessitated 
 the liberal expenditure of funds. 
 
 No one at that crisis could estimate what amount of money 
 might be necessary, or anticipate the scope and extent of the work 
 to be done. While some citizens at once suggested a call be made 
 for outside help, the members of the Association, generallj'. and es- 
 pecially the Executive and Finance Committees, took the stand that 
 no aid should be asked until absolutely necessary from others than 
 residents of Jacksonville. On the 11th of August, President Daniel, 
 in speaking upon the question of providing employment for idle men,, 
 voiced the unanimous sentiment of the committee, by stating that he 
 hoped the city of Jacksonville would not be forced to seek outside 
 help, either to feed the poor people or for the purpose of giving the 
 unemployed work. He liked to see thorough independence, and he 
 trusted that those emi)loying laborers would not discharge them, but 
 keep them as long as it was possible to do .so. "Let us," said the 
 President, " show the world that we have confidence in our own re- 
 sources, and that we are not a panic-stricken people, but that the old 
 spirit of ' never fail ' still prevails in the breasts and conduct of the 
 citizens of Jacksonville." 
 
 Upon the 18th of August, H. A. L'Engle, the Treasurer of the 
 Association, and chairman of the Committee on Sanitation, contrib- 
 uted §l()().0O, on behalf of the .State Bank of Florida, which was the 
 first contribution made to meet the extraordinary demands upon tlie 
 Association. Many jiublic spirited residents followed the example 
 thus set by Mr. L'Engle, and the following day the Committee on 
 Conference, through its chairman, reported that the County Commis- 
 sioners would make available a fund of .$8,000 for the use of the As- 
 sociation. Ou the 14th of August the following telegram to the 
 Mayor was referred to the Executive Committee: 
 
 Savannah, Ga., August l:', isss. 
 The Maynr of J<trl,-s-oiirille : 
 
 The Benevolent Association of Savainiah are the custodians of 
 funds confided to them for use in epidemics, especially in epidemics 
 of yellow fever. I can remit you one thousand dollars whenever yoa 
 notify me it is needed for the sick and destitute of your city. 
 (Signed) Jos. M. Solomons, 
 
 President.
 
 "94 OOMMITTEK OX FINAXOK. 
 
 Tlie Mayor was requested by the committee to gratefully ac- 
 knowledge the telegram, and reply that at the time there was no 
 need to accept outside aid. Other telegrams and letters of similar 
 generous import were invariably answered in the same way, the only 
 exceptions made being in favor of firms or individuals who had been 
 in close business relationsliip with Jacksonville merchants, and who 
 insisted upon being allowed to contribute. 
 
 The funds in the hands of the Executive Committee increased 
 steadily, but the demands upon the Association increased in much 
 greater proportion, and it was soon deemed necessary to appeal di- 
 rectly to citizens wh<» had left the city upon the bi-eaking out of the 
 fever, and urge the necessity of supporting, by liberal contributions, 
 those residents who, besides subscribing money freely, remained to 
 protect the city and assist the sick and poor. On the 22d of August, 
 the Sub-Committee f>n Finance, ai)i)ointed for the purpose, prepared 
 and forwarded the following letter to all out-of-town citizens whose 
 addresses were available: 
 
 Dkai! 8ii!: 
 
 While tlic reports from here arc greatly exaggerated, still wc 
 have a few cases of yellow fever, and to i)revent its spreading, it is ab- 
 solutely necessai-y to i)ut the city in a thorough sanitary condition, and 
 at tlie same time provide for the worthy poor people that have been 
 thrt)wn out of employment. To do this recjuires considerable money. 
 Those that are now here have not only i-ontributed liberally to the 
 ■" Belief Fund," but are giving their time infighting tlie disease. 
 Our needs, to successfully carry on the work, will be very great for 
 the next month or so, probably lc>ngcr. Please permit us to earn- 
 estly re(juest that you will send this committee a contribution, to be 
 <>xpcnded under the direction of the Auxiliary Sanitary Association. 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 J. N. C. Stocktox, 
 
 Chairman Sub-Committee. 
 
 'i'he increase in funds was immediate, and many of the refugees, 
 •doubtless, made heavy sacrifices to assist, but expenses continued to 
 increase, and more funds were needed. Tressing offers of assistance 
 continued to be received, and on the last of the month, the Execii- 
 tive Tommittee passed the following resolution: 
 
 liexolved. That the Executive Committee of the Jacksonville 
 Auxiliary Sanitary Association feels compelled at this time to ex- 
 press, in an imperfect and general manner, its deep, sincere appre- 
 ciation of the many hospitable and generous otters of assistance and 
 sympathy wliich have been tendered to our city and people during 
 tiie course of the ejudemic, and trust it may be able to evidence its 
 gratitude in a more fitting way in the near future. 
 
 lT])oii the .")th day of September, the Executive Committee, which 
 had long withstood the pressure to issue a public appeal for aid, 
 tliat was brought to bear both by those anxious to contribute, and 
 those who believed assistance should be received, in conjunction with
 
 (OMAIITTKK (>X KIXAXt'K. 95 
 
 the constituted authorities, prepared and gave to the press the fol- 
 lowing appeal : 
 To Our Friciiils mid FiUou'-Ciliznix of the United States: 
 
 We, the authorized representatives of the citizens of Jackson- 
 Aille, recognizing the fact that tlie epidemic has now reached such a 
 stage that our own funds are insufficient, either to cope with the many 
 cases of absolute necessity, for the engagement of nurses, or for nu- 
 merous other demands upon us, and 
 
 WiiKiiKAs, Owing to file absence of all business, many of our 
 al)lest citizens are unable Ut furnish further funds, we now think we 
 are justified in accepting tlie many willing offers of aid that havt^ 
 "been received from you. 
 
 We, therefore, wish our fellow-citizens of the ITnited States to 
 know that we will gratefully receive the aid they have offered, an<l 
 that any coiitrilaitions will be used for the benefit of those in need, 
 and where it will do the most good. 
 
 We request that any such contril)utions may be forwarded to 
 Ja.mks M. S( iu .%rA( iiKii, President of the First National Bank, and 
 chairman of our Finance Committee.

 'riu' generous i)eople of the country were apparently but waiting 
 for the word. The next morning contributions commenced to pour 
 in. The ISavainiah Benevolent Society, who, nearly a mouth before, 
 was tlie first association to volunteer help, sent .'!il,()0(). A similar 
 amount was sent by the Southern Department of the E<piitable Life 
 Insurance Comi)any, through Get)rge F. White. Manager. H. M. 
 Flagler wired a personal contribution of ■'Si, ()()(), which was the lirst 
 telegram received in response to the appeal, and thereafter corpora- 
 tions, benevolent associations, mayors of cities, boards of trade, 
 chambers of c<mimerce, banks and individuals seemed to vie with 
 each other in their cliaritable offerings. No words can ade<iuately 
 represent the feelings of relief and satisfaction the generous funds 
 and abundant sympathy brought to the people of Jacksonville. The 
 press, especially, were of the utmost assistance, not only by giving 
 up much space to the condition of the suffering city, but also bv 
 starting s\ibscrii>tions. 
 
 Francis H. King-Hall, the special correspondent of the New Nork 
 World, had offered, some time ])revious to the appeal, to open a sub- 
 .scription in New York, and many t»ther papers followed. 
 
 On September l:Uh, the following brief address was adopted by 
 the Executive Committee, in acknowledgment of the generosity of 
 the people the Ignited States: 
 To Our Couutri/nieu : 
 
 Through the cloud of gloom, sorrow, suffering and death which 
 overshadoAvs us. your sympathy and generosity shine like glad fi- 
 llings of great joy, and bring light and life to our people. Our hearts

 overflow with gratitude. To those whom we can reach by corre- 
 spondence we will endeavor to express our acknowledgments. To 
 the many who are remitting us anonymously, and to those who, as- 
 sociated together, are contributing through one medium, we desire to 
 express our grateful appreciation for their generous contributions. 
 We are deeply moved by your spontaneous efforts for our relief. To 
 each and all we extend our earnest thanks.

 Space forbids more than passing comments upon the communi- 
 cations enclosing funds received. A book might be filled with ex- 
 tracts that could not fail to interest the student of human nature. 
 The cynic who could read these letters without changing his views 
 must, indeed, be a pessimist; nay, he would be more apt to praise 
 man's humanity to man. 
 
 Are coriJorations soulless? One may well doubt the old saying 
 in the light of developments during the Jacksonville epidemic. So 
 early in the fight as August 2.5th, Superintendent B. F. Dillon, of the 
 Western Union Telegraph Company, offered the free use of the Com- 
 pany's wires to the Association. It is impossible to calculate the 
 exact amount of this contribution. In response to an inquiry. Man- 
 ager Crowley states : 
 
 As per your request, please find below the amount of " free busi- 
 ness" transmitted by the Western Union Telegraph Company for your 
 Association during the epidemic. This does not include messages re- 
 ceived, originating at other points, or the answers thereto; for in- 
 stance, a message received by you from the Mayor of New York, re- 
 quiring an answer. Such messages are not included in these figures.

 Many firms and corporations, besides their own contributions, 
 encouraged their employees to subscribe also. Perhaps no better

 Gentlemen: 
 
 Realizing the deplorable conditicm of wliole communities of our 
 fellow-countrymen in the South, owing to the ravages of the yellow 
 fever scourge, we feel it a privilege and duty to contribute, in some 
 degree, towards its amelioration. As a shop, we owe this in the 
 cause of common humanity, not only, but we are under peculiar and 
 special obligations to these people for business patronage, and for 
 many gratuitous acts of courtesy to our men when among them, and 
 to this manufactory as a firm. We, as a firm, will j^ay a dollar for 
 every dollar contributed by our employees. It would be exceedingly 
 gratifying to us if not less than five hundred dollars might be raised 
 in this way and forwarded to the Relief Committee at .lacksonville.

 sectionalism it was but the generous emulation of the Xortli and

 Perhaps no contributions were more appreciated than those 
 coming from persons of limited means. If there could be any dis-

 Money continued to pour into the treasury of the Association, 
 "but the exi)enses increased proportionately. Upon the 1st of Octo- 
 ber the ill-advised publication of a set of resolutions by a member of 
 the Association, calling upon the Finance Committee to stop the 
 contributions, very materially checked the receipt of funds. From 
 some sources advices came that, owing to the reported sufficiency of 
 funds, no more would be sent, and from many other sources came 
 inquiries for an official statement. The Executive Committee, in all 
 cases, replied that, owing to the absolute uncertainty as to the con- 
 tinuance of the epidemic, and the demands for relief which would 
 be made upon them so long as the fever existed, they were unable 
 to say it was time to stop contributions. The Committee felt very 
 keenly the responsibility resting upon it. On the one hand, they 
 were unwilling to receive more money than the emergencies of the 
 epidemic required, under the most economical administration, but 
 on the other hand, it would be an almost criminal error of judgment 
 if suffering and want should result from a premature stoppage of
 
 104 COAIMITTEE ON FIXANCK. 
 
 funds, when the mnnificent heart of the nation was willing to supply 
 all necessary relief. So, in all cases, the answer M^as sent that volun- 
 tary contributions would be received; and funds still continued to 
 come, although less abundantly. 
 
 It may be well to say that beyond a statement of facts which 
 showed the need of contributions, the Executive Committee, from 
 the first, discouraged solicitation on the part of the citizens of Jack- 
 sonville. Many refugees, with the best motives, requested authority 
 to collect subscriptions in different parts of the country for the as- 
 sistance of those left behind, but in every case the Committee re- 
 ferred them to the autlujrities of the place they desired to canvass, 
 and suggested that all contributions should be voluntary. The 
 following correspondence explains one instance of a Jackson- 
 ville citizen desiring to solicit contributions, and the position taken 
 by the Executive Committee :

 My Deai! Sik : Some four weeks ago I wrote Mr. Woodward, who 
 I left in charge of our houses, etc., asking if car loads of produce, such 
 as grain, hay and flour, would be acceptable at the time. He wrote 
 me that the committee on such matters thought they would not need 
 help. I was then in Iowa, and the Illinois Central would put such 
 contributions through free of freight. I have just come from there, 
 via Chicago, and I find but little is being done in Chicago for your 
 relief. Now I am ready to go there, or to any other point, and get 
 any kind of sui)plies. I can get car loads of almost anything you 
 might want, and any of the lines will put it through free. What is 
 your supply of fresh beef ? I could ship a car from Chicago, and 
 then when it got there you need not have it removed from the car, 
 but have some ice put in, and in this way it would keep for a week, 
 until you could use it; and in the meantime I could have another 
 under way. I presume your supply of vegetables, fruit, etc., you 
 have none of these. I could get a car donated in one hour, such as- 
 apples, i)ea(;hes, pears, potatoes; aiul as to groceries, now you know 
 what you want, and I beg you will see what you need and telegraph 
 me fully here, care Irvin French, and I will go tw Chicago and Mil-

 want. Please telegrai)h me fully what you want first.

 to rely upon the general appeal made to the charitably disi>osed 
 people of the United States to render us aid. They have done so 
 nobly, but mucli more is needed, and we believe it will come without 
 further solicitation. The spontaneity of the offering increases its 
 value, if you should officially ask the good people of your city to 
 start a subscription, no doubt these gentlemen could aid you, and in 
 that way it wouhl come very acceptable to us.

 ings of pi'ovisions or anything that might be needed, not only in 
 Jacksonville, but all outside tow-ns afflicted. We had no intention 
 of becoming public beggars. There is no need of it, but it is desira- 
 ble to have some place where people and merchants can come and 
 find out what would be acceptable to send to Florida, and make up 
 car lots and send them to you. Thousands of pet)i)le would like to 
 give such things in place of money. We could send you a car of 
 dressed beef if you think best, and name the kind of provisions you 
 want; flour, bacon, grain, medicine, clothing, and offerings will 
 come in freely. Macclenny makes a piteous appeal for help to u.s.

 106 COMMITTEE ON KIXAIS'CE. 
 
 On September 29tli, Mr. Root was replied to as follows : 
 
 Jacksonvii>t.e, Fla., September 29, 1888. 
 Wrn. Hoot, Chainnan, Chiccu/o : 
 
 Your telegram received and considered by tlie Executive Com- 
 mittee, wlio still thiidi it is best to not authorize any special eitort 
 to solicit contributions. We have just received one thousand dollars 
 frt)m the Mayor of Cliicago to-day, making two thousand received 
 from that source. We feel that we have not received nearly enough 
 to carry us through to the end of this epidemic, and the Executive 
 Committee will consider, on M(,)nday, after receiving the estimate 
 submitted, whether the time has arrived to announce that we believe 
 we liave enough to carry us through. We do not wish to abuse the 
 large-hearted generosity of the American people by accepting more 
 than our actual needs require. In this view of the case, we do not 
 feel that special eiforts to obtain aid are necessary. 
 
 P. McQuAiiJ, 
 
 President. 
 
 On the 27th of October the Executive Committee rendered a 
 financial statement, prepared by a si)ecial committee, to the Associa- 
 tion, of the receipts and disbursements to that date. In this state- 
 ment, which was extensively distributed to contributors, the follow- 
 ing words were used : 
 
 Your Executive Committee have had under consideration whether 
 or not the time has arrived to announce to the large-hearted American 
 people, who responded so nobly to tlieir appeal for aid, that suffi- 
 cient funds have been received to carry them through to tlie end of 
 the epidemic, but hesitated, lest they might be held responsible 
 should any subsequent distress ensue for want of sufficient funds. 
 The correctness of tlieir judgment, in declining to yield to pressure 
 to make this announcement, is sustained by the foregoing estimate, 
 which is based on past experience, and a carefvil study of the situa- 
 tion, assuring the public at the same time that they do not desire to 
 accept any more funds than is actually necessary U> supply the wants 
 of our people. 
 
 In addition to these voluntary charitable contributions, the 
 United States Government, through its Marine Hospital Service, re- 
 imbursed the Association for such expenditures as, under the in- 
 structi<ms of Surgeon-General Hamilton, were advised by Dr. Joseph 
 Y. Porter, Surgeon in cliarge of Government Relief Measures in Flor- 
 ida. But since these expenses had to be vouchered and sub-vouch- 
 ered in certain i»articular ways, and then forwarded to the United 
 States Treasury Department for consideration, it was difficult to es- 
 timate, with any degree of certainty, what funds might be received 
 from that source. This subject is discussed under its proper title. 
 
 By the 1st of December, the funds continuing to come in slowly, 
 and the connnittee having more reliable data upon which to estimate 
 the i)robable amount whicii would come from the Government, and 
 also more exact data u])on wliich to calculate the liabilities of the
 
 COMMIT'I'KK (»N KINAXCK. 107 
 
 Association, decided to stop the receipt of contributions. No ofKcial 
 notice was piiblislied, but the chairman of the Connnittee on Finance 
 returned contributions of substantial amounts to the donors, ai'd re- 
 plied to all in(iuiries that no more would probably be nee<led, al- 
 though small amounts, the balance in the hands of ditferent custodi- 
 ans, were still accepted. 
 
 The moneys thus received by the Association, during a period 
 exteiuling over three months, were lirst handled by the Finance Com- 
 mittee, most of it coming directly to its chairman. liarge numbers 
 of contributions, however, came to this committee through the Presi- 
 dent and other members of the Association, the Acting Mayor of the 
 city, the President of the Board of Health, and other sources. Every 
 morning this committee met in the same building with tlie Executive 
 Committee, and, after considering the donations and accomj)anying 
 corres])ondence, made an elaborate, detailed rejjort to the Executive 
 Committee at its i)ending meeting. This report, showing in detail the 
 donor, amount, and through whom received, was placed upon the 
 records of the Finance Committee, and, as part of the minutes of the 
 Executive Committee, was pidilished in the city papers. Besides 
 sending an acknowledgment of receipt to the intermediary, and a 
 written exi)ressi()n of thanks to the donor, a copy of the newspaper 
 containing the notice of the donation was, wherever practicable, also 
 sent. 
 
 The correspondence accompanying the donations frecpiently 
 made incjuiries about individuals and minute matters, and requested 
 particular applications of remittances, which often required exten- 
 sive investigation, and not seldom the acti(m of the Executive Com- 
 mittee. Where the gift was for some certain individual, class or 
 body of people, a receipt in duplicate of the party indicated was ob- 
 tained, when jtossible, so that the Association might be protected 
 and the donor satislied. The lack of spare time, ;md the want of op- 
 portunity, wotdd have made the labor required no light task at any 
 season, and so much the more was it felt then. At first the Finance 
 Committee was rather large, but .soon its members were led ott" into 
 other lields of the Association's labors; very often only two or three 
 members, and frequently one alone was actually present, carrying on 
 the work, the chairman's presence being then required at the Execu- 
 tive Committee meetings. 
 
 The Corresponding Secretary was, because of the corresi)ond- 
 ence, brought closely into contact with the Finance Committee, and 
 in the beginning the donations, as reported, were handed to him for 
 deposit with the Treasurer. So soon as the funds in the treasury 
 began to be much in excess of the daily expenses, as the Treasurer 
 was manager of one of the city banks, he requested the Finance Com- 
 mittee to deposit the donations directly with dilYerent banks. Each

 day the Finance Committee mado up tlie deposit books of the differ- 
 ent banks, and equalized the amount in eacli by reference to the daily 
 report of balances received through the Treasurer. 
 
 It was a difficult problem to determine how a proper disburse- 
 ment should be made, and how its record should be kept; just what 
 method should be formulated and enforced to most surely and speed- 
 ily, and with least friction, determine the propriety of a disburse- 
 ment, and at the same time execute it. 
 
 The very first disbursement made by the Treasurer was the only 
 one of its kind. The voucher consists of a printed order, signed by 
 the chairman of tlie Relief Committee, directing a city merchant, 
 named, to furnish certain described provisions to a named applicant 
 for relief. The simple directness of this plan might have relieved 
 the Finance and Executive Committees of an immense amount of la- 
 bor; just as it might have kept the treasury depleted; so it was not 
 the method contemplated. The system then already outlined proved 
 capable of expansion and adaptation equal to the requii'ements of the 
 new committees, and the extraordinary emergencies which were not 
 foreseen. Each committee was permitted to contract debts for the 
 uses of its creation, subject to the approval of the Executive Com- 
 mittee. The party extending the credit was required to furnish an 
 itemized statement to the committee or department which contracted 
 the debt. The committee put its official stamji of approval on the 
 statement, and then forwarded it to headquarters. There this ap- 
 proved statement was attached as a sub- voucher to an Executive 
 voucher, a printed form for the purpose, which was filled out and en- 
 dorsed for easy reference. Thus made ready, the voucher was con- 
 sidered by the Executive Committee. If a proper disbursement was 
 not evidenced, it was either laid over for further action, referred 
 back to its source, or to a new committee, or denied. If it was ap- 
 proved, the printed endorsement of approval was signed by the Pres- 
 ident and Secretary, and a draft was drawn on the Treasurer, signed 
 by the Secretary and countersigned by the President, payable to the 
 order of the original creditor. This creditor was required to come 
 in person, or send an agent with written authority, to the headquar- 
 ters, and sign the receipt endorsed on the Executive voucher when 
 the draft was haiided over. The drafts, upon presentation to the 
 Treasurer, were accepted and made payable at one or another of the 
 banks, as the daily balances reported on deposit would determine. 
 When it was impossible to carry out this plan of payment directly to 
 the original creditor, as in pay rolls, out of town creditors, relief to 
 sister communities, and advances for the United States Marine Hos- 
 pital Service, a satisfactory showing was required, along with a writ- 
 ten requisition by a responsible party in charge, to whose order the 
 draft was drawn; original receipts and pay rolls, detailed state-
 
 COMMITTEE OX FIXANCE. 109 
 
 ments, etc., explaining the disbursement, in every respect, were re- 
 quiretl to be tiled at the earliest moment. 
 
 As in every other department, so in this of the iinances, the di- 
 rect effect of the epidemic was felt. The Treasurer was taken aw-ay 
 from his work, and, after his death, his siiccessor had to familiarize 
 himself with his duties. The Corresponding Secretary's wife be- 
 came sick and required his constant presence, and, after her death, 
 he immediately contracted the fever and soon died. One of the main 
 workers in the Finance Committee, the Cashier of the State Bank of 
 Florida, and the Treasurer's chief assistant, quickly followed him to 
 the gTave. Another member of the Finance Committee, after a long- 
 confinement in the hospital, came back to his work, and was made, 
 also, Corresi^onding Secretary. In this dual capacity he was given 
 direction of the clerical assistance in charge of the finances at the 
 Association headquarters. It was some time before competent ac- 
 countants could be secured, and it became necessary, from time to 
 time, to enlarge the set of books, and to modify the different ac- 
 counts, so as to keep a simple, as well as a thorougli recoi-d of the 
 receipts and disbursements outlined in the plan adopted. 
 
 Thus it was made practicable to submit full reports, referring to 
 original books and vouchers filed away convenient for reference, 
 showing in detail all matters relating to the finances of the Associa- 
 tion. 
 
 In the Appendix may be found a list of tlie contributors of money 
 and their respective contributions, and also in the Appendix may be 
 found a similar list of the donations other than funds. At lirst do- 
 nations of supplies came to different departments, and no systematic 
 effort was made to value and record them, but the necessity to take 
 cax"e of these supplies, and acknowledge their donors, was one of the 
 reasons for the appointment of a Purchasing and IJeceiving Agent. 
 After establishing the dei>artment in charge of the Purchasing and 
 Peceiving Agent, these donations were more systematically noted 
 and valued; but, even then, the appraised value could not be shown 
 a sure index of the original cost tt> the donor, so that it is not at- 
 tempted to give valuation. Care has been taken to make these lists 
 as correct as possible, but, in the nature of things, ei"tors of omission 
 and commission may have been made, which the Association would 
 be glad to correct.

 COMMITTEE ON RELIEE. 
 
 On the lotli of August, 1888, the rresident of the Jacksonville- 
 Auxiliary Sanitary Association a])pointed Judge Lcjton M. Jones 
 chairman of the Committee on Belief, this being one of the original 
 committees provided for by the articles of the Association. He was 
 instructed to select capable men, and, with their assistance, to de- 
 vise means to aid those in need. The next day Judge Jones selected 
 as his committee the following persons : Rev. A. W. Knight, Rev. 
 R. H. Weller, Mr. J. H. McGinnis, Rev. B. G. White, Rev. Jesse R. 
 Bicknell and Mr. C. Benedict Rogers. In response to a call issued 
 by the chairman, these members of the Committee on Relief met at 
 his oflftee on the 16tli of August. After discussing the situation, a 
 general exchange of views resulted in the committee dividing the 
 city into six districts; each member present was assigned a district, 
 and, with the chairman, selected reliable persons to assist in the 
 work. 
 
 The districts and their workers were as follows: District No. 1, 
 east of the Fernandina and Jacksonville Railroad, Rev. A. W. Knight, 
 Chairman; Rev. T. M. Smith, Mr. A, R, Merrill, Mr. N. C. Wam- • 
 boldt, Mr. John Jamison and Dr. A. T. Cuzner. District No. 2, from 
 Pine Street east to the Fernandina and Jacksonville Railroad, Rev. 
 R. H. Weller, Chairman; Rev. W. J. Kenny, Braxton B. MacDonell, 
 Rev. J. R. Sharpe, W. B. Owen and Timothy Murphy. District No. .3, 
 from Pine Street west to Clay Street, J. H. :N[cGinnis, Chairman; W 
 A. Macduff, Alonzo R. Jones and Charles Benedict. District, No. 4, 
 west of ("lay Street and north of the railroad. Rev. B. G. White, 
 Chairman; Lafayette Dancy, r»ev. M. Manigault and Dennis Taylor. 
 District No. 5, the suburbs of Brooklyn and Riverside, Rev. Jesse R. 
 Bicknell, Chairman; C, G. Elliott, C. Hopkins, H. Miller, W. S 
 Walker, A. T. Deakle.and S. E. Foster. District No. G, South Jack- 
 sonville, C. Benedict Rodgers, Chairman; W. L. Crawford, Phil. 
 Thrasher, Dr. Williams and T. Jackson. 
 
 A T'entral Relief Committee was organized, composed of the 
 chairmen of the various sub-committees and others. This Central 
 Relief Committee met at the office of the chairman daily at 10 o'clock 
 A. M. Braxton B. MacDonell was selected to act as its Secretary. 
 During the lirst week the initial step was taken toward providing 
 the poor with food in a systematic manner; ai»plication blanks were 
 agreed ui)on, and pads of these blanks wore furnished to the chair- 
 men of the sub-committees; als(j, a pad of blanks in the form of an
 
 OOMMII "IKE OX RKLIKF. 113 
 
 order, for the chainuan of the Central Committee. The members of 
 the sub-committees investigated all applications received from the 
 chairman, and the chairman of the Central Committee, on the proper 
 recommendation of the cliairman of each sub-committee, furnished 
 an order to the applicant ft)r groceries on one of the stores in the 
 city. This plan worked exceedingly well for about two weeks, when- 
 it was found that a more rapid system was necessary, in order to' 
 supply the constantly increasing demand for aid. 
 
 An office was establislied on Xewnan Street, where three clerks 
 received all applications for food, and the applications were distrib- 
 uted to the different committees, according to the district in which 
 the applicants lived, and, after their investigation, their report was 
 sent to the central office, which furnished orders upon the grocery 
 store. As the epidemic proceeded, it was found necessary to pro- 
 vide the sick with nurses, and the Central Committee, under instruc- 
 tions from the Executive Committee of the Association, established 
 a bureau for nurses in the office on Newnan Street. 
 
 The demand for food increased with the fever, owing to the fact 
 that all opportunities for work were entirely cut off, and those who- 
 had means had exhausted them, and it was found necessary to estab- 
 lish commissaries at the headquarters of the different sub-commit- 
 tees. This became necessary, also, because the provisions in the 
 stores were gradually exhausted, and it became impossible for the 
 stores to promptly and satisfactorily supply the orders from the Cen- 
 tral Kelief Committee. Commissaries Avere established at all other 
 headquarters of the committees, except No. ;3, where a commissary 
 had been established from the beginiiing. For the proper manage- 
 ment of these commissaries rules and regulations were adopted.- 
 These rules required the chairman of each district to prepare a requi- 
 sition for supplies each day for the following day's work. Tlie requi- 
 sitions, after l)eing examined by the chairman of the Central Kelief 
 Committee, were given, to be tilled, to W. T. Jones, who was placed 
 in charge at the distributing store. A large force of investigators (u- 
 detectives were employed to look into the applications, to guard 
 against imposition. 
 
 Shortly after the beginning of the epidemic it was fiuuid neces- 
 sary to supply cooked food to persons who, either through sickness 
 in the family or want of means, were unable to attend to cooking, 
 and for this purpose a restaurant was opened on the corner of New- 
 nan and Forsyth streets by the chairman of the Committee on Kelief, 
 under the direction of Mr. William T. Jones. Meals were delivered 
 to houses, on the order of the chairman of the Central Kelief Com- 
 mittee, the chairmen of the sub-committees, and also on orders of 
 physicians. When the restaurant was first put in operation one de- 
 livery wagon was put on, and the first day only sixteen meals were
 
 114 COMMITTEK OX RELIKF. 
 
 sent out. On the closing day, October 12tl), nine wagons were em- 
 ployed, and fifteen liundred meals sent out. 
 
 The Committee on Relief had charge of the establishment and 
 maintenance of Camp Howard, as described in anotlier portion of 
 this report. 
 
 On the 14th of September Judge Loton M. Jones resigned his 
 position as chairman of the Committee on Relief because of ill health, 
 brought on by overwork. The Executive Committee appointed Judge 
 AV. B. Owen in his place. Chairman Owen found it difhcult to carry 
 on the work of the committee, owing to the fact that every day 
 brought the loss of some member from sickness. During his term 
 of office he worked almost single handed, and was compelled to take 
 what material he could find. 
 
 On the first day of September one of the most active workers, 
 Mr. J. H. McGinnis, died of a chronic complaint. A short time later 
 another active worker, the Rev. J. R. Shai-pe, died, and in a few days 
 the Rev. T. M. Smith also died. After the death of Mr. McGinnis, 
 the Rev. W. H. Dodge was ajipointed to the vacant chairmanshii) of 
 District No. o. 
 
 On Sei)tember 2(]th Judge W. B. Owen was taken sick, througli 
 overwork, and, on his recommendation, the Rt. Rev. Edwin G. Weed 
 was appointed chairman of the committee. Bj^ this time the neces- 
 sities of the people had become so great that it was found necessary 
 to have a regular purchasing agent, and Mr. F. W. Mumby was ap- 
 pointed. Under him the warehouse of the Clyde Steamship Com- 
 pany wa.s secured for the Central Disbursing Commissary, and the 
 disbursing station near McMurray's stable, on Newnan Street, became 
 the commissary for delicacies, and also supplied nourishment for the 
 sick. The Central Station, on Newnan Street, also lilled orders for 
 j)eople living outside of the city limits. 
 
 The Executive Committee finding it necessary to systematize 
 more thoroughly the Nurse Bureau, transferred the nurses to the 
 Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention, about this time, and 
 thus relieved the Committee on Relief from this part of the work. 
 Towards the close of October the necessity for reducing the expenses 
 of the committee became apparent through the scarcity of funds. 
 On October (ith Commissary No. 6 was abolished, and on October 
 27tli the Soup House in East Jacksonville, which had been in opeia- 
 tion since the first of the month, was closed. This left but two soup 
 houses in operation, one in Oakland, in charge of Mr. A. VV. Knight, 
 and the main soup house, corner of Ocean and Beaver streets, in 
 charge of Mr. D. W. Onley. Soup cards were issued to families for 
 convalescents, and to aged and infirm persons unable to eat commis- 
 sary food. 
 
 It was decided, on October 20th, to amalganuite the seven com-
 
 (•t>MMlTTKK ON RELIEF. 
 
 115 
 
 missaries then in existence into three, the consolidation to go into 
 effect on October 27th, after proper notice. On that day (Jommissa- 
 ries No. 2 and No. 3 were consolidated, and the Rev. W. J. Kenny as- 
 sumed management. Nos. 8 and 4 were also combined, Kev. J. R. 
 Bicknell retiring, and Rev. B. G. White taking control. The fever 
 having assumed large proportions in South .Jacksonville, Mr. C. Bene- 
 dict Rogers took charge of the various relief departments in that 
 X)lace. 
 
 On November 1st Bishop Weed was taken sick with fever, and 
 Judge W. B. Owen resumed charge for ten days, when Mr. John E. 
 Hartridge was appointed chairman of the committee. On November 
 10th it was decided to consolidate all tlie commissaries into one gen- 
 eral commissary, and ten days later this was effected. Having com- 
 bined all the disti-ict commissaries into one, the work of the Central 
 Relief f^ommittee was greatly reduced. The committee establislied 
 tlieir commissary in Mr. L'Phigle's warehouse, in Foster's Lane, near 
 Bay Street. Stock was furnished on the order of the manager of the 
 commissary, by the Purchasing Agent. Three members of the Relief 
 Committee were selected each week to supervise the commissary. 
 The General Commissary was opened on November 19th. Detectives 
 investigated applications, and if persons proved to be in need, and 
 the application was approved by the chairman of the district in which 
 the applicant resided, the manager issued a card, which was deliv- 
 ered to the applicant. All orders for temporary rations were issued 
 through the members of the Central Committee. 
 
 On December 1st Mr. Hartridge resigned his position as chair- 
 man of the Committee, owing to the pressure of other duties, and 
 the Rev. W. J. Kenny was appointed in his stead. 
 
 The General Commissary was closed by the committee on De- 
 cember 22d, thereafter relief being furnished only in individual 
 cases. 
 
 The following is the report of District No. 1 from the date of its 
 establishment to October 27th, Rev. A. W. Knight, Chairman: Num- 
 ber of cards issued, 1,12;]; number of cards recalled, 6.57; number of 
 cards outstanding, 406; total rations issued, 13,887. 
 
 The following data was gleaned from the books of Commissary 
 District No. 2, Rev R. H. Weller, Chairman: Number of cards is- 
 sued, 1,285; number of cards recalled, 560; number of cards out- 
 standing, 725; total rations issued, 21,740. 
 
 District No. 3, Rev. W. H. Dodge, Chairman, not being so large 
 as the others, the work was somewhat lighter. From the date of its 
 establishment to October 27th, when merged in District No. 2, the 
 following work was done : Number of cards issued, 674; number of 
 cards recalled, 120; number of cards outstanding, .")54; number of 
 rations issued, 8.497.

 The following is an approximated report of tlie three commissa- 
 ries, from Octolier 27th, when the commissaries were reduced from 
 five to three, until November 17th. wlien all commissaries merged 
 into one general commissary:

 cards recalled. 957; cards outstanding, 9:10: rations issued, 45,s:j5; 
 number of people feeding wlien closed, 2,512. 
 
 The following is the report of the commissary established at C. S. 
 L'Engles warehouse, for the five weeks of its existence: Total num- 
 ber of cards issued, 2,1()2: total number of regular rations, 20,691 ; 
 total number of temporary rations, 7.25:5; grand total of rations is- 
 sued 27,944; number of carcis recalled. -2, 122; number of cards out- 
 standing, 40. 
 
 To recapitulate, the total number of cards issued from all the 
 commissaries aggregated 12,:>7(), of which number 6,825 were re- 
 called and 5,551 are outstanding. The grand total of rations issued 
 is 196,5:!8, and the standard adopted and used for a ration, for an 
 adult, for one week, was two pounds of bacon, three pounds of meal 
 or two })ounds of flour, three pounds of grits or two pounds of dour, 
 one pint molasses, one half pint of salt, one quarter pound of coffee, 
 one half pound of sugar, and one bar of soap. It must be remem- 
 bered that tlie number of rations issued represents the rations almost 
 from tlie outset, while the card system was not adopted until some 
 time after the breaking out of the epidemic, when the immediate 
 pressure was somewhat relieved and an opportunity was given for 
 more system and elaboration. The cards will average about live ra- 
 tions to a card, although some cards were issued to single Individ-
 
 COMMITTKK OX RELIKK. 117 
 
 uals. and some to tlie heads of large families, and the ditterence in 
 the total number of rations issued is thus to be explained. 
 
 The work of the Committee on Relief was materially increased 
 at the outset by the generous donation and distribution of one thou- 
 sand pounds of fresh meat, which was made hurriedly and ill-ad- 
 visedly amidst the great pressure of organization to meet the panic. 
 This caused many to suppose they would be fed; that yellow fever 
 meant free rations. This sentiment was made stronger by the news- 
 paper reports of an appropriation by Congress for the prevention of 
 the spread of epidemic diseases. The cry was constant that the com- 
 mittee were withliolding money which belonged to the people. As 
 a consequence, the committee were subjected to much abuse. The 
 additional difficulty of linding suitable persons to carry out its 
 plans caused, at times, much trouble. Tlie labor of superintending 
 the purchases and watching over the commissaries was greater than 
 would be imagined by those who have not undertaken such w^ork, in 
 the midst of great excitement and constant ci-iticism. The desire of 
 the committee was to be economical, and at the same time to relieve 
 all want. Every method to discover fraud, and relieve the distressed, 
 was resorted to. The committee constantly co-operated with the 
 Committee on Sanitation, to furnish work for able-bodied men, to 
 compel them to work, and to prevent laborers, or their direct fami- 
 lies, fi'om drawing rations when at work or able to work. The con- 
 stantly increasing demands in the first two months necessarily 
 brought about many changes in the system. 
 
 During the latter part of the epidemic, when the suffering be- 
 came less, fraud increased and stringent measures were adopted to 
 prevent an useless expenditure of money and educated pauperism. 
 It is one thing to feed people; it is another to impress them with the 
 necessity of helping themselves. It is impossible to give any fair 
 idea of the difficulties which confronted the Committee on 
 TJelief. 
 
 The complaint of insufficiency in the tirst part of the epidemic, 
 <legenerated into an accusation of hard-heartedness in the latter. 
 The best proof of the character of the work done is the low rate of 
 mortality, for, unless the people had been properly provided with 
 food, the mortality must have been greater. During the epidemic 
 the city Avas unusually free from petty thefts, burglary and fires, 
 and this freedom was undoubtedly the direct result of the systematic 
 care for the sick and destitute. The committee worked as a unit. 
 It was this which enabled them to carry on their labors effectu- 
 ally. 
 
 The closing of the general commissary having completed the 
 labors of the Central Relief Committee, it was decided to tender 
 their resignations to the Execi\tive Committee of the Association

 THE COMMITTEE ON SANITATION. 
 
 The Committee on Sanitation was one of the original committees 
 «f the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association, provided for by 
 the Articles of Association adopted at its organization, and Mr. 
 Henry A. L'Engle was appointed chairman of the committee, which 
 at the time needed a man of thorough executive ability, energy, and 
 acquaintance with the laboring element, perhaps more than was the 
 case with almost any other committee, to organize and adopt prompt, 
 practical measures for cleaning the city. The other members of the 
 Association, who were members of the Committee on Sanitation, 
 were C. G. Elliott, J. L. Burch, F. W. Ely, Peter Jones, K. N. Ellis 
 and T. V. Cashen. 
 
 The Committee on Sanitation suffered many losses. Henry A, 
 L'Engle, its original chairman, was taken sick with yellow fever 
 September 6th, and died eight days later, a martyr to his self-sacri- 
 ficing efforts for the public good. F. W. Ely died September 14th; 
 C. G. Elliott died Sei^tember 22d, and J. L. Burch died September 
 25th. 
 
 On September 17th, Dr. J. C. L'Engle was elected chairman of 
 the committee, to fill the place left vacant by the death of his 
 brother. 
 
 The Committee on Sanitation immediately began thorough 
 measures to look into the sanitary condition of the city, and to 
 remedy apparent evils; and, in fact, the work of this committee was 
 begun before the organization of the Association itself. As early as 
 August nth, at the joint meeting of representatives from the Board 
 of Health, the City Council, and the citizens of Jacksonville, after 
 discussion, it was agreed to begin work to thoroughly cleanse the 
 city on Sunday, the succeeding day, at 7 o'clock a. m. For this pur- 
 pose it was resolved to employ fifty men and twenty teams, of which 
 Mr. L'Engle was requested to take charge. Dr. R. P. Daniel at the 
 same meeting, on behalf of the Board of Health, said that lie was 
 authorized to give the Citizens' Committee full latitude to do all in 
 its power to aid in the emergency, and the Board would meet bills 
 made by the committee for the present. This action was taken inas- 
 much as the members present believed that the condition of the city, 
 from a sanitary point of view, was not so good as it had been re- 
 ported. It cannot be denied that a feeling of security had resulted 
 from articles which had appeared in the local press, from time to 
 time, previous to the occurrence of any unusual sickness. The as- 
 sertion was made that the city was proof against the introduction
 
 I'lO OOMMITTKE <>X SAXITATIOX. 
 
 and spread of disease, by reason of its absohite cleanliness. The 
 City Council passed a very comprehensive health ordinance, April 
 5, 1888, conferi'ing all the authority that the most ardent advocate of 
 a centralized power could wish, upon the City Health Officer and 
 his subordinates; nor was there a protest or disposition to qviestion 
 the exercise of this power: but every latitiide was allowed, that the 
 purpose so necessary and so universally desired might be fully ac- 
 complished. Did space allow, the health ordinance referred to 
 would be introduced into this i-eport. to show with what power the 
 Health Officer of the City was clothed. The following extracts from 
 the Times-Union, April 15, 1888, give some idea of the attention 
 directed to the subject of sanitation at this early date, the people 
 knowing full well how important a factor it was in the prevention 
 of yellow fever: 
 
 SANITARY AVOKK. 
 
 Yesterday the entire force of Sanitary Inspectors, with the 
 scavenger carts, were at work cleaning up East .Jacksonville. They 
 were warmly met by the citizens of that section of the city, who, as 
 a general thing, manifest a willingness to obey the health rules. 
 Many loads of garbage and night soil were gotten together and carted 
 away, and a large quantity of trash, limbs, weeds, etc., were burned 
 in the streets. All the work being done is under Dr. Kenworthy's 
 supervision. As soon as the work here is completed the force will 
 l>e transferred to some other locality, and there will be no let up 
 until the city is in a pei'fect sanitary condition. Under the new 
 ordinance all swine must be removed from the city inside of six 
 days. 
 
 And later, the Times-Union again published the progress made 
 in sanitary matters, in the paper of April 22, 1888: 
 
 WHAT IS BEIXG DOXK IX THE CITY BY THE HEALTH OFFICEK. 
 
 The Sanitary Inspectors, under the management of Dr. Kenwor- 
 thy, are hard at work placing the entire city in the best possible 
 sanitary condition. East Jacksonville, LaYilla, Brooklyn, and Han- 
 sontown have had special attention. All the brush, trash, etc., has 
 been burned or carted away, and a careful inspection made of the 
 premises of nearly every house. The work is being rapidly carried 
 on, and in a very short time the city will present as clean streets and 
 yards as can be found in any city in the South. But little trouble 
 has so far been encountered, as the citizens appreciate fully the im- 
 portance of a strict compliance with the health ordinance, which 
 will be strictly enforced in every particular. A large number of 
 hogs have been taken out of the city during the past few days, as 
 required by the law. The inspectors have been supplied with sev- 
 eral thousand copies of the health ordinance, which they are required 
 to distribute over the city, for the information of those who have so 
 far failed to read it. 
 
 The newspaper extracts indicate that considerable work was 
 done by the city before the outbreak of the epidemic, but later de-
 
 COMMITTEE UX SaXITATIoN. I'll 
 
 velopments aeeva to show that the work at-tually accomplished was 
 directed mure particularly to matters relatiug to the sale of water- 
 melons, and adulterated milk, restrictions about keeping liogs. and 
 other minor matters affecting the public health, rather than to 
 thorough, systematic, energetic, sanitary measures. 
 
 The newspapers, in a later issue, apparently ehange<l their views 
 about the thoroughness of the sanitary work, as the following ex- 
 tract would indicate: 
 
 <»l'R SAXIT.VEY CO.VDITIOX. 
 
 People in other cities, and especially in South Florida, iu recol- 
 lection of the strictures of the Jacksonville daily press on their sani- 
 tary condition at the time the yellow fever broke out in Tampa and 
 Key West, are fully justifiable in their retaliation at the present 
 time. With a Health Officer at s2.«^XX> per annum, and nine assist- 
 ants at *;J6o each per annum, we have been hugging the delusion to 
 our breasts that no cleaner city than .Jacks«>n\-ille was in existence. 
 The last two weeks ha-s demonstrate<l its fallacy, for hundreds of 
 cart loads of trash have been removed from back yards, and the 
 work goes bravely on. 
 
 Wliether the later blame was deserved or not. at any rate, the 
 Committee on Sanitation found abundant work for it to do. and 
 at once assumed active measures to do it thoroughly. 
 
 The city was divided into tive districts, as follows: First, from 
 Ocean Street east, from the river to the creek, and all East Jackson- 
 ^■ille: M. M. Belisario in charge of men and teams. Second, from 
 Ocean Street west to Laura Street, and from the river to the creek; 
 Frank Howard in charge. Third, from Laura .Street to Cedar ."street, 
 and from the river to the creek, including Hansontown: Alderman 
 Boyd in charge. Fourth, from Cedar Street west, embracing all 
 La Villa: Alderman Wiggins in charge. Fifth. Kiverside and Brook- 
 lyn: Aldermen Gerow and Webster in charge. The following rules 
 for the guidance of foremen were formulated and requested to be 
 published: 
 
 First — You will immediately organize a squad of not less than 
 ten laborers and four carts. Engage good men, and on the best 
 terms you can make. 
 
 Second — To-morrow morning at 7 o'clock, or as soon thereafter 
 as you can get to work with the force under your direction, take 
 charge of the district assigned to you. and thoroughly cleanse and 
 purify it from one end to the other: commencing on the river front, 
 where your district touches on the river, and working out. 
 
 Third — You will see that every yard, vacant lot. and premises, 
 is thoroughly cleansed and purified, so that not a solitary square 
 foot of surface in your district, whether river front, inclosure. un- 
 occupied lots, or streets, is omitted. Remove all rubbish and gar- 
 bage of every kind, burning it at the nearest available point when- 
 ever it is possible to do so. 
 
 Fourth — All privies and water-closets must be thoroughly ex- 
 amined, cleansed and purified. Examine for cess-pools and pits
 
 122 COMMITTEE ON SANITATION. 
 
 where garbage, excrement or tilth of any kind may have been 
 dumped and covered, and see that such places, where the ofifensive 
 matter cannot be burned or removed, are tlioroughly covered with 
 lime or clean sand. Notice the sewer connections, and report any 
 apparent obstructions or imperfect drainage. 
 
 Fifth — Your attention will be given particularly to lots adjacent 
 to marshes, creeks and rivers. In many of these places water-closets 
 have been and are used over the creeks and marshes. These should 
 be thoroughly cleansed, and those on the creeks must be removed. 
 
 Sixth — In all cases where privies or offensive structures of other 
 kinds, or other injurious substances, cannot be otherwise purified, 
 you will report to the Chief of the Fire Department and arrange for 
 having them burned. 
 
 Seventh — Disturb the earth as little as possible. Let the weeds- 
 and grass remain growing, as it is considered unsafe to expose the 
 earth which has been shaded by luxui'iant vegetation at this season 
 of the year. 
 
 Eighth — Lime and other disinfectants will be furnished on your 
 requisition. Use these freely whenever, in your judgment, they may 
 be usefully applied; this should be done, particularly in all low and 
 moist i)laces, aroiuid the sites of cess-pools and pieces of ground 
 from wliich filth or garbage of any kind has been removed. Do not 
 be afraid of using too much, 
 
 Ninth — In passing over your district deal with the owners of the 
 premises you will visit courteously, but firmly. If they are aji- 
 proached kindly, and your object explained, you will meet with no 
 opposition. Do your duty, however, whatever may be the objection 
 raised. 
 
 Tenth — Advise all owners or occupants of premises which you 
 visit to procure disiiifectants, particularly lime and copperas, and to 
 use them freely and constantly. In all cases Avhere persons are not 
 able to do this, for want of means, say to them that disinfectants 
 will be supplied to them on apijlication to the city authorities or the 
 Secretary of the Citizens' Committee. 
 
 Eleventh — Your time and personal attention will be required in 
 the immediate supervision of the force under your charge. If you 
 need .supplies, or additional men or teams, you will communicate 
 with the committee, through Mr. Dick Oldham, who is instructed to 
 keep himself informed as to your requirements. 
 
 Twelfth — The duty assigned to you is a responsible one, and on 
 its iJroper discharge depends the lives of your fellow-citizens and the 
 prosperity of your city. Be faithful, vigorous and untiring, until the 
 district assigned to you is thoroughly and completely cleansed and 
 purified. Vour authority emanates from the County Board of Health 
 and the city authorities, to whom this Committee is auxiliary. 
 
 Some idea of the work which was found for the Committee on 
 Sanitation to undei'take may be gained from an article in a local pa- 
 per of August Loth, which, however, pointed out an exceptional state 
 of affairs : 
 
 A PTTBLIC NUISANCE — CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY AT THE COR- 
 NER OF CHURCH AND CLAY .STREETS. 
 
 At about two o'clock, yesterday afternoon, a representative of 
 the Times-Union visited what is known as the Mitchell property, on 
 the southwest corner of Church and Clay streets, at the request of
 
 OOMMITTKK ON SANITATION- 123'' 
 
 Mr. T. J. Boyd, wliu is sui>ennteii<ling the cleaning of tliat district.- 
 It was hard for the reporter to realize that such a place, reeking in- 
 disease, breeding filth, existed in the city. Here, on a lot about 210 
 feet long by 10."^ feet deep, stand ten little huts, one story tenements, 
 of which eiglit were occupied. In these small and poorly arranged 
 houses resided tifty-one persons, mostly negroes, men, women and 
 children. Many of these take in washing, which occupation keeps 
 the ground and filth swept out of the houses constantly wet, and this, 
 in dry as well as wet weather, emits a sickening stench. The tenants 
 are supplied with water from a surface well not more than four or 
 five feet deep, and along the rear fence is a row of cheap earth clos- 
 ets, some of them rotten, and having the appearance, as well as the 
 odor, of not having been cleaned out in many months. Two of these 
 closets were pulled down and burncil. and the otliers faiily filled with 
 lime; while tlie ground was covered almost from one end to the other 
 with lime, in order, as far as possible, to correct the evil. This place 
 is certainly a nuisance, and should be condemned. In one of the 
 houses, Mdiich contains two rooms, two families reside, and these 
 two families consist of nine persons. Tliis property is not in the 
 outskirts, but in the thickly populated portion of the city. 
 
 The force of sanitary laborers was increased, August i;ith, to 
 about 275 men, with many additional carts, and the work of cleaning 
 up the city progressed with much energy and vigor, while lime and 
 other disinfectants were distributed without limit. This also from 
 the Times-Union: 
 
 The negro quarters at the comer of Church and ("lay streets 
 were placet! in better sanitary condition by the liberal use of lime, 
 and the removal of several outhouses and (juantites of filth; they are 
 still crowded with the fifty-one tenants, who are beginning to com- 
 plain of the lack of necessary conveniences. Unless this crowd is 
 thinned out, and the property put in thorough sanitary condition, 
 the authorities should condemn it, and foibi(l its occupancy by any 
 one. This is, perhaps, one of the worst places in the city. Council- 
 man Boyd has also found another place, wliicli is a disgrace to the 
 city, on Cedar .Street, between \orth and Orange streets, known as 
 the Bell property. This is simply reeking Avith tilth, and many cart 
 loads have already been taken out and burned. This place is also 
 filled with negroes, many of whom were induced to leave and seek 
 other quarters. Another bad place is on the south side of Beaver 
 street, second dottr west of Hogan, from which many cart loads of 
 filth h.ave been removed. There were also many other i)laces calcu- 
 lated to breed disease, which were found and cleaned. 
 
 The following additional instructions were issued August 1", 
 1888, to guard against the improper destruction of property, and to 
 secure a careful observance of proi)erty rights: 
 
 INSTRUCTIONS TO INSPKCTOKS AND FORKMEN. 
 
 The Superintendent will see that the following instructions are 
 placed promptly before the formen of the various gangs of work- 
 men, and the foremen must exercise due vigilance in regard to en- 
 forcing the same. While it is desirable to destroy by fire all decom- 
 posed and decomposing matter, such as old boai'ds, broken down
 
 124 OO-MMITTEK ()N SAXITATIOX. 
 
 t'encin<i;, weeds or grass heretofore cut and lying on the ground, and 
 all garbage of any cliaracter, great care must be exercised that no 
 property valuable to the owner is destroyed. Discretion and tact 
 must be observed in entering the premises to clean and disinfect, or 
 inspect. The inspector must insist upon respectful and courteous 
 treatment from the foremen and lal>orers in the performance of their 
 duty, and strict discipline must be enforced. These instructions 
 have been given verbally to each foreman by the inspectors and su- 
 perintendents, but it is considered advisable to place them before 
 them in writing. 
 
 August 17th the Committee on Sanitation reported 250 to 300 
 men at work. The chairman, Mr. H. A. I/Engle, announced the ap- 
 pointment of the following aids: Stephen Wiggins, .Superintendent 
 west of Cedar street; T. J. Boyd, Hansontown and Old .Jackson- 
 A^ille, north of State Street, east of Cedar, and west of Pine; M. M. 
 Belisario, cast of Pine .street, south of the creek, and west of the 
 Fernandina Kailroad; S. B. Flynn, Oakland and Campbell's Addi- 
 tion; O. H. Dorsett, East .Tjj,cksonville, east of the Fernandina Rail- 
 road, west of J. S. Parker's to the Fair Grounds; X. Webster, Brook- 
 lyn and Riverside; Ritter, Cedar street to Pine, south of State 
 
 street; Thomas Tracy, South Jacksonville. 
 
 The general sanitary work within the city was continued, and, 
 for the week ending August 23d, there was a sufficient number kept 
 at work to keep the city clean, though there were not so many em- 
 ployed as during the jirevious week. Lime was again si)rinkled 
 throughout the city, under the direction of Councilman Wiggins, 
 while Councilman Boyd had charge of the whitewash gang, and gave 
 every tree-trunk, post, hydrant, curbing and sidewalk edge a thick 
 coat of lime, to which some of the bi-chloride of mercury was added 
 for future use. Mr. L'Engle, chairman of the Committee on Sanita- 
 tion, reported that he was using a large number of men in the sani- 
 tary work, and that he hoped, from the care taken in selecting fore- 
 men, there would be little or no grounds for complaint, due to wan- 
 ton destruction of property. Mr. L'Engle further stated that there 
 was a bitter feeling among the unemployed men and a demand for 
 work. This demand for employment increased daily, as the stagna- 
 tion of all kinds of business increased, and the laborers spent their 
 savings and exhausted their credit in the support of themselves and 
 families. 
 
 On August 2oth Mr. H. A. L'Engle, chairman of the Committee 
 on Sanitation, reported as follows: 
 
 Colonel J. J. Dftniel, Chairman of ilie Execnflvr Coiiinrtttei-, Jackson- 
 ville Anxiliarij Sanitary Association: 
 Sir: I herewith hand you a statement of the operations of the 
 Committee on Sanitation. The committee commenced the work of 
 cleaning the city on Sunday, the 12th instant, at 7 o'clock a. m., 
 with a force of about sixty men, hastily gathered togethei*. and, of

 course, imperfeitly ortjaiiized, as the plan of campaign liad only been 
 decided upon by tlie Executive Committee late in the afternoon of 
 Saturday, the 11th. Tlie .Superintendent and his assistants found some 
 difficulty in securing the services of men to work on Sunday, the first 
 day of our operations, and had to promise laborers for that day an 
 inducement to go to woik, in the way of increased compensation 
 over the ordinary daily wages. However, much was accomplished; 
 and on the next and succeeding days of the week the force was 
 largely augmented. The pay rolls bear the names of 517 men, who 
 were paid in the aggregate the sum of $'2,082.2.5. Monday, of the 
 week ending August 2.'3th, was devoted to perfecting the organiztt- 
 tion of the workmen, as some complaints had been made of the use- 
 less destruction of lumber which was found on the premises being 
 cleaned. These cf)mplaints were not numerous, and while an inves- 
 tigation disclosed the fact that some few were made with good 
 grounds, most of them were exaggerated. Work was resumed on 
 Tuesday, with a more perfect organization, which was accomplished, 
 in part, by retaining the most intelligent and efficient foremen of the 
 preceding week; but, in order to distribute the work among the un- 
 employed people, very few, if any, of the laborers of the previous 
 week, ending August 25th^ were employed this week, tlius, by alter- 
 nating, a greater number were afforded relief; the hours of labor 
 were also reduced to eight each day, and the per diem reduced ac- 
 cordingly, that we might be able to em])loy a larger number of men. 
 The committee, recognizing that one of the objects of tlie work be- 
 ing done is to give employment to the unemployed people in the 
 community, who would otherwise suffer for the means of support- 
 ing themselves and families, extended its operations across the 
 river, to South .Jacksonville, and apjiointed, on the recommenda- 
 tion of the citizens resident there, Mr. Thomas Tracy to sujierin- 
 tend the work. The wisdom of this selection has lieeii made aji- 
 parent in the good work which has been done over there. The 
 chairman of the committee, in company with Superintendent Old- 
 liam, visited and inspected the work being done, and succeeded in 
 securing the co-oj)eration of Dr. Williams, a iihysician resident 
 there, and a promise from him to assist Mr. Tracy in any way he 
 could. County Inspector Watson has rendered to the committee 
 valuable services, especially in South Jacksonville, as has also City 
 Marshal Sherman, on several occasions. The prompt and vigorous 
 attention to the duties devolving upon Sui)erintendeiit Oldham has 
 been appreciated by the committee^ as has also been the close atten- 
 ti(m of Assistant Superintendents Belisario, Wiggins, Boyd, Ja- 
 cobs and Dorsett. To Mr. Belisario were referred many of the com- 
 plaints of the useless destruction of i)roperty, which he carefully and 
 courteously investigated. Mr. H. E. Lee, whom the c(»mniittee select- 
 ed to examine and report upon the condition of the buildings on Bay 
 street, made a written report, which has been heretofore submitted; 
 that paper, in itself, was sufficient evidence of the fitness of the 
 agent employed. The committee cannot, in a i)ai)er of this kind, 
 mention all who have contributed, by their alacrity in the discharge 
 of their duties, to the success of the work. Many of the foremen of 
 the gangs deserve special mention for their active and intelligent dis- 
 charge of duty. The laborers have, generally, worked cheerfully 
 and faithfully, and the committee only regrets that it is not possible 
 to employ a larger number of those who are so unfortunate as to be 
 deprived of the work necessary for the sup])ort of themselves and

 families. The chairman acknowledges, with pleasnre, the assist- 
 ance of Messrs. Elliott, Ely and Buroh, of the committee, who have 
 visited and inspected the work being done, from time to time. The 
 chairman has visited many times, during the past two weeks, nearly 
 every part of the territory covered by the operations of the commit- 
 tee. Mr. S. C. Thompson having kindly tendered his services to the 
 committee, through Mr. Elliott, they were gladly accepted, and he 
 assumed charge as Auditor and Paymaster, which is a sufficient guar- 
 anty that the Pay Department will be faithfully and discreetly ad- 
 ministered. He is assisted by Mr. A. George Stewart, who is acting 
 as book-keeper and private secretary to the chairman. The number 
 of men employed for the week ending August 25th amounted to 
 394; payroll, $1,038.65. 
 
 Respectfully submitted, 
 
 H?;nry a. L'Engi.e, 
 Chairman Committee on Sanitation. 
 
 On account of the appearance of yellow fever in the immediate 
 vicinity of the stores along Bay street, the chairman of the Commit- 
 tee on Sanitation, Mr. H. A. L'Engle, requested Mr. Harry Lee to 
 make an inspection of the premises on eacli side of Bay street. The 
 following was his report: 
 
 .Iacksonvim.e, Fla., August 17, 1888. 
 
 Mr. Henry A. L^ Eni/lc, C/idiniiaii <>/ fJic Snnifdry fJommUtitc of the

 Dkaij Sih: Pursuant to your instructions, I have made a care- 
 ful and personal examination of the condition of the premises under- 
 neath the floors of every store on either side of Bay street, between 
 Cedar on the west, and Wasliington o]i tlie east, and, as a result of 
 sucli examination, I herewith submit the following report: 
 
 (ieorge Hughes, at the corner of Bay and Ocean, stagnant water 
 found under the floor, which emits a very disagreeable smell, and 
 renders the place in a decidedly unsanitary condition ; Kivas A- Koop- 
 man, dry, cemented floor; .1. 1). Bucky, dry and well veniilated; W.

 inson's drug store, in good condition, as is also Dr. J. C. L'Engle's 
 block, corner of Pine and Bay; Armour building, in good condition; 
 Florida Railway and Navigation Company's general offices, in good 
 condition. Many of the stores not enumerated here have cemented 
 floors, or have been filled in between the joists with cement, upon 
 which the floor is^laid, making them perfect, in a sanitary point of 
 view, and it is a source of regret that all floors on the Bay are not 
 similarly constrvicted. The ground underneath Kolin, Fnrchgott &, 
 Go's store, is at least four feet deep, and is composed of substances 
 that appear very unwholesome, and, no doubt, is frequently covered 
 with water. While I have reported many places as being dry, there 
 is a certain dampness and moisture ap])arent under nearly all the 
 floors, occasioned by the absence of proper ventilation. 
 
 Respectfully submitted, 
 
 H. E. Lkk. 
 
 Tlie report of Mr. Lee, submitted to the Executive Committee, 
 was at once referred to the Duval County Board of Health, with a 
 request that action be taken to put in good order such stoics and 
 places of business as were in an unsanitary condition. The Board of 
 Health referred the matter to the City Council for action, and the 
 City Council, through Acting Mayor D. T. Gerow, referred the mat- 
 ter to the proper officer, as will be seen by the following note from 
 Mr. D. T. Gerow to Dr. C. J. Kenworthy, Health Officer: 
 
 Jacksonvillk, August 22, 1888. 
 Dr. C. J. Kenworthij, Ifciilfli Officer of the City of Jaclcsonville : 
 
 Dear Sik: Herewith I beg to hand you a list of premises, some 
 of wiiich have been found to be in a bad sanitary condition, and which 
 are so marked thereon. You will ]>lease have the owners, or persons 
 in charge of these i)laces, resi)e(tfully notified, and required imme- 
 diately to put their premises in projjcr condition, and see that the 
 same is done without delay. .Should any one so notified decline or 
 neglect to carry out your requirements, you will please communicate 
 with this committee before pi'oceeding against them. 
 
 Yours resjiectfully, 
 
 D. T. Geijow, 
 Chairman Health Committee. 
 
 Whether the Health Officer of the city, or any other official, took 
 action or not, at the time, is not definitely known. The absence of 
 landlords and tenants, as well as the press of duties, may have pre- 
 vented the suggestions of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Associ- 
 ation, through its Committee on Sanitation, from being acted upon by 
 the city. Neither the Association itself nor the Committee on Sani- 
 tation had any power to comjiel the property holders to follow out 
 their suggestions, and could only refer the matter to the proper au- 
 thorities. 
 
 The United States Government, through John B. Hamilton, Sur- 
 geon-General of the Marine Hospital Service, assumed the payment 
 of a portion of the work which came within the jurisdiction of the 
 Oommittee on Sanitation, under the direction of Dr. Joseph Y. For-
 
 128 <'()»I]N[ITTEE ON SANITATION. 
 
 ter, Surgeon in charge of Government Kelief Measures in Florida. 
 The Government assumed the payment for "Sanitary Supplies,'" 
 consisting of lime, cupperas, sulphur and other disinfectants; and of 
 "Sanitary Work," consisting of such work as was necessary to im- 
 prove the sanitary condition of the city to prevent the spread of yel- 
 low fever. The explanation is made, in another place, of the method 
 by which advances were made by the Association to cover such ex- 
 penses, and the Association, in this department, as in others, was 
 obliged to advance the money in the first instance with which to pay 
 bills and labor, and send on to Washington, from time to time, dujili- 
 cate vouchers to tlie Treasury Department of bills paid, and dupli- 
 cate pay rolls of work performed. Dr. J. Y. Porter, as a conscien- 
 tious representative of the Government, scrutinized the pay rolls of 
 the Committee on*Sanitation, and approved such pay rolls as were 
 for sanitary work proper, and the Committee on Sanitation realized 
 the necessity, at an early date, of curtailing all expenses possible. 
 The following letter is a statement of some of the embarrassments 
 the Committee on Sanitati(m labored under, and tlie position it a.s- 
 sumed : 
 
 .Ia<_'K.sonvim>k, Fla., November lo, 188S. 
 
 Dr. Joseph V. Porter, Siir</c(>ii in Chdri/e of (Toreniiiierif lieiief Ifedn- 
 ures, City : 
 
 Deak Silt: Referring to your letter in regard to the expendi- 
 tures of the Sanitary Department of the .Jacksonville Auxiliary Sani- 
 tary Association, T would say that the work that has been done con- 
 sists in ditching and draining overflowed lands contiguous to habita- 
 tions where yellow fever has occurred, putting in box drains (tiling 
 could not be had), removing fa'cal matter wliere, in wet places, it 
 could not be covered up without impregnating tlie soil. 
 
 By referring to the lopography of this city, you will notice that 
 it is situated on the north bank of the St. .Johns Jiiver, the river 
 turning at right angles and passing to the east of a portion of the 
 city recently added to the corporation; that this tract of covuitry is 
 low an<l flat, much of the land being marshy; that we have a creek 
 on the west passing partially around to the northwest, another on 
 the east extending to the northwest. The country lying between 
 the heaibiuarters of these two creeks is low and flat, and has never 
 been thoroughly drained, and water in some ])laces, for acres, 
 could be found a foot deej), with plank walks through the yards and 
 to the out-houses, and with wells containing only surface water or 
 drainage from the seei)ing. The marshes and low lands along the 
 sides of these creeks also emitted a miasmatic stencli deleterious to 
 health, or sui)posed to be, and all demanding attention. The aiea of 
 fever has been five miles frt>m east to west, and ten miles from north 
 to south, and the outlying <listrict where this condition existed is in- 
 habited by the lower classes, principally negroes, who have bad a 
 large sliare of fever, and are now having it. Tliis country demanded 
 attention, and the piincipal expenditures have been nuxde in these 
 places, where the owners and inhabitants have been unable, pecunia- 
 rily, in tlu! jiast to do the necessary work for sanit ition, and includes.
 
 COMMITTEE ON SANITATION. 129 
 
 an area wliicli liad been annexed to the city of Jaek.sonville during 
 the last meeting of the State Legishiture, the Art going into opera- 
 tion on the first of January hxsl. In this district, four times tlie pre- 
 vious size of the citj', the existing municipalities were disorganized, 
 and tlie government of the country assumed by the city authorities 
 of the city of Jacksonville. The city appointed a health officer, in- 
 spectors and a sanitary force; but, unfortunately, they did not real- 
 ize the magnitude of the undertaking, or the area of the new city; 
 hence much was left undone that should have been, and now must 
 be done to ensure reasonable health. That the appearance of the sur- 
 rounding country has been improved is natural, and, in fact, could 
 not be otherwise, as, in order to obtain tlie sand or earth necessary 
 to fill in low places, hills and slopes must be graded, and while this 
 grading is being done, necessary for the sand wanted, care is taken 
 to do the whole work under the supervision of a competent civil and 
 sanitary engineer, and that portion of the work which is of a public 
 nature is charged to the proper account for public improvements. 
 
 I take pleasure in referring yon to the most excellent article, by 
 General B. F. Butler, in the \oveml)er number of the North Ameri- 
 can Review on this subject of sanitary work done by him in New 
 Orleans, and beg to say that I believe this the most direct and feasi- 
 ble means of avoiding the recurrence of yellow fever, and beg to say 
 that, though the cxiienditures made are apparently large, they have 
 been necessary, and that much more remains to be done, and must 
 be done, before reasonable safety can be felt. 
 
 KespectfuUy, 
 
 Jno. C. L'Englk, 
 Chairman Sanitary Committee. 
 
 The employment of men by the Committee on Sanitation was 
 early resorted to as a means of relief to the unemployed laborers 
 who remained in the city, and who, by reason of the stagnation of 
 all business, became a charge upon the public for food. Yet every 
 possible means was resorted to to prevent imposition, and to give re- 
 lief only to the deserving and needy, as the following extract from 
 the minutes of the Executive Committee shows: 
 
 Dr. J. C. L'Engle presented the statistical tables now in use by 
 the Committee on Sanitation, embracing information in regard to 
 each man who applies for cmphnment, giving his number, name, 
 residence, whetlur he had been sick or crippled, the number of his 
 family, who were dead, and full information in regard to the number 
 at present in the family, where rations had been drawn, if at all, 
 where employed previous to August lo, 1888. 
 
 It was also necessary to keep idle men employed, in order to 
 control them, and prevent demoralization, lawlessness and violence.^ 
 A feeling of restlessness, and a disposition to resort to violence, at 
 one time manifested itself among a large number of \inemployed 
 colored men. They congregated on the streets, particularly near the 
 headquarters of the Committee on Sanitation, and were pertinacious 
 in their api>lications for employment, saying that they could not get 
 work elsewhere within the quarantine lines established; that they

 were afraid to attempt to get into other communities, as" shot-gun 
 quarantine" was more to be feared tlian starvation in Jacksonville, 
 as long as the people of the country had so generously supplied their 
 wants in money and provisions, which those who controlled the sit- 
 uation were wrongfully withholding from them, except in exchange 
 for their labor. These occurrences resulted in a meeting, or confer- 
 ence, between the leaders of the unemployed men and representa- 
 tives of the Auxiliary Association and city government, where a 
 plain, but positive statement of the relations existing between the 
 different races and classes in this anomalous condition was made. 
 The following is the report in the jiress of these occurrences: 
 
 Times-Union, November 24, 1S88. — A laborers' mass-meeting 
 was held yesterday afternoon in Temperance Hall. 
 
 ******** 
 
 A report of the committee appointed at a i>revious meeting was 
 read, and a motion to table the same was lost. During the debate 
 on the report many speeches were made, all of which, with, perhaps, 
 one or two exceptions, plainly indicated that all that is wanted by 
 the colored people is an opportunity to work. On motion of M. W. 
 Wiggins, Judge Joseph E. Lee addressed the meeting, explaining 
 fully the situation of matters pertaining to the relief, and the folly 
 of any rash action on the part of any one. He expressed his confi- 
 dence in the honesty and fair dealing ()f the Executive Committee of 
 the Auxiliary Association, and said that he Avas sure that if that 
 ■committee could allow the laboring nien more they would surely do 
 so; but as the funds were running low, that all should be satisfied 
 with a just distribution of the same, and that no man should so far 
 forget his manhot)d as to expect or receive anything that he was not 
 willing to work for. After Judge Lee's remarks. Councilman Spear- 
 ing took tlie fioor and gave to the meeting some excellent advice, 
 concluding by suggesting that as the Association was unable to pay 
 more than sixty centy jier day for work, and at the same time give 
 all pei'sons employment, a committee be ap]Kjinted to call ujion Dr. 
 J. C. L'Engle an<l request that all men, single as well as married, be 
 given employment six hours in the day at ten cents per hour. On 
 motion of Mr. George A. Lewis, Acting Mayor Gerow, Hon. Joseph 
 E. Lee, J. H. Ballon, and Mr. George A, Lewis were appointed as 
 sucli committee. Before adjournment, every man present expressed 
 a willingness to work the six liours at the rate of ten cents per hour. 
 All were satisfied, if this arrangement could be made. The commit- 
 tee above mentioned subsequently held a conference with Dr. 
 L'Engle, it having been previously understood that, in the event of 
 their success in making the adjustment of wages, etc., as endorsed 
 by the meeting, they should not report back to the mass meeting of 
 laborers, but should announce the result of their conference through 
 the press. Their reixut is as follows: 
 
 " The committee ap]>ointed to wait upon the Citizens' Auxiliary 
 Committee called upon Dr. J. C. L'Engle, cliairman of the Sanitary 
 Committee, and aftei- a full discussion of the sitLiation, the proposi- 
 tion confided to this committee (to em])lov all men, either married 
 or single, for .six hours a day, at the rate of ten cents per hour), was 
 submitted. After due deliberation on the part of Dr. L'Engle, he

 assured the committee that all persons, married or single, would be 
 given work on Monday, and kept employed as long as necessary, in 
 order to relieve the situation. It was further agreed that no private 
 work of any nature should be done with the public money, but that 
 this work sliould be left as a soiirce of employment for our citizens 
 after business lias assumed its normal condition; to all of which the 
 committee selected lieartily agrees." 
 
 Perhaps no other better statement of the work of the Committee 
 on Sanitation, in brief, can be given than the following extract, taken 
 from a report wliioli tlie Association adopted October 28th: 
 
 THE COMMITTEK OX SANITATION. 
 
 This committee was tlie first to begin active operations, and im- 
 mediately on the note of alarm being sounded by the Board of Health, 
 on August 10th, that yellow fever existed in our city, with epidemic 
 tendencies, sanitary work was vigorously commenced, and prose- 
 cuted witli a determination of arresting the progress of the disease, 
 if i)ossible. Tlie vigor and jiersistence of tlie fight made against the 
 advance of the scourge, before liope was abandoned, is well known, 
 and lias, perhaps, never been etiualled in the history of epidemics. 
 The city and suburbs were thoroughly cleansed, lime and other dis- 
 infectants were liberally used, until a perfect sanitary condition was 
 attained, which, thougli not effective in preventing the spread of the 
 disease, may have caused it to assume a milder form. Large num- 
 bers of men were employed in this work, whose wages are included 
 in tlie expenditures of the Committee on .Sanitation. Later on, in 
 addition to the sanitary work carried on by this committee, it was 
 deemed advisable to undertake other work of the same character, 
 but of more extensive .scope on account of the extension of the limits 
 in wliich yellow fever developed, and to provide relief for unem- 
 ployed laborers, who would otherwise have to be supported by the 
 Relief Committee. Under this i>olicy, 2,100 men were employed last 
 week, at an expenditure of $10,257.02. 
 
 The work undertaken by the Committee on Sanitation, as a 
 measure of relief fitr the unemployed, under the approval of the Ex- 
 ecutive Committee, was work of a i)ublic nature, which .should 
 benefit all alike, and was generally approved by the people of the 
 city, and at a meeting of the Board of Public Works, held Septem- 
 ber 18, 1888, the following resolution was adopted: 
 
 WiiEKEAS, It has been reported to this Board that the Executive 
 Committee of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association has 
 now under consideration the placing of .a large number of laborers 
 on our streets, therefore, be it 
 
 Bcsolved, That this Board approves of the employment of the 
 idle and needy lal)orers among us for the improvement of the public 
 streets, and desires said Committee to furnish the Board with a gen- 
 eral idea of the proposed work. 
 
 The various reports and matter quoted in this article will suffi- 
 ciently indicate that the public roads were put in good repair all 
 over the city, and in the suburbs. Since the close of the epidemic, 
 exaggerated reports have gained currency as to the work of a public

 nature undertaken by the Association through its committees. As 
 a matter of fact, the only expense of the Committee on Sanitation 
 for anything other than labor, was the cost of materials used in 
 building shell roads to the two cemeteries, and a short road in 
 Brooklyn, a suburb of the city, which was done at the request of 
 some of the contributors themselves. 
 
 A brief summary below is given of the actual cost of the stone, 
 shell, lime, etc., used in these roads, and of the lumber which 
 was necessarily used in the construction of drains and culverts: 
 
 Stone $ 549.15 
 
 Shell C,269.52 
 
 Lumber, etc 3,27',).59 
 
 $10,098.27 
 
 The Committee on Sanitatio.n had the advantage of the services 
 of Mr. E. N. Ellis, a member of the Committee, who was the City 
 Engineer, and as such, fixed the grades of streets of the city, looked 
 after the ditching for drainage, directed the laying of culverts and 
 superintended all matters of the sort. 
 
 The following is a brief schedule of the work done by the Com- 
 mittee on Sanitation of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Associa- 
 tion, in affoi-ding relief to the poor: 
 
 Miles of roads and streets graded, with a ditch on either side for the 
 
 purpose of drainage, 24 miles. 
 Miles of streets grubbed and graded, 10 miles. 
 Miles of streets cleaned and guttered, 20 miles.

 COMMITTEE ON NURSES AND MEDICAL ATTENTION. 
 
 The Committee of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Associa- 
 tion, known as the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention, was 
 peculiarly the outgrowth of necessity, and its establishment was not 
 provided for in the organization oi' the Association. The Associa- 
 tion and tlie Executive Committee, of course, realized that some 
 provision must be made to provide nurses for tlie sick and indigent, 
 and charged the Committee on Relief with that duty. The commit- 
 tee listed, and kept on file for the convenience of applicants, the 
 names of local nurses, together with such recommendations as they 
 presented. The Committee on Relief also directed those requiring 
 the services of a physician to such of the local physicians as had 
 volunteered for the purpose. For some time this method sufficed, 
 but as the calls upon the time of the Committee on Relief became 
 greater for relief measures jiroper, and its members, by reason of 
 sickness and overwork, were less able to satisfy this demand, it was 
 found necessary to make other arrangements. More system was 
 also needed in the matter of supplying physicians and nurses, in 
 order to quickly answer calls for assistance. A station was, there- 
 fore, established at the bridge on Pine street, as headquarters for phy- 
 sicians, under the direction of the Board of Health. The city was 
 districted, and a physician designated to answer calls from each dis- 
 trict, but this, too, soon became insufficient. 
 
 September 11 — At a meeting of the Executive Committee the 
 Committee on Conference stated that, after consultation with the 
 Committee on Relief in reference to the establishment of a separate 
 committee to look after the nurses, they had called the matter to the 
 attention of the Board of Health, and had considered it with Dr. NeJil 
 Mitchell and Dr. Daniel. The committee wished to recommend that 
 the special committee, to be known as the Committee on Nurses and 
 Medical Attention, be created for the purpose of providing compe- 
 tent nurses and physicaiis, with power to rent a suitable house for 
 the accommodation of nurses, and to make proper arrangements for 
 their accommodation. Upon motion, the recommendation of the 
 committee was approved, and tlie President appointed Geo. E. Wil- 
 son, Cliairman; C. B. Rogers, Stephen Wiggins, C. R. Bisbee and T. 
 H. Willard as such committee. 
 
 The committee lost no time in beginning work. Headquarters 
 were established at a central point on Bay street, and the committee, 
 under the direction of tlie Executive Committee, continued to urge 
 upon the Board of Health the ne<;essity for accepting the services of
 
 COMMITTKK ON NURSES, KTC. 135 
 
 some of the many applicants for service as physicians or nurses. It 
 was very soon ascertained that hirger accommodations must be pro- 
 vided for tlie reception and care of pliysicians and nurses. Lodgiiig.s. 
 and meals had to be furnished those coming from al)road. Hotels 
 and boarding-houses were nearly all closed, and such places as were 
 open objected strenuously to entertaining this kind of guests, because 
 of fear from infection. 
 
 Tlie Executive Committee, in this emergency, did not hesitate- 
 to instruct the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention to find a 
 suitable place for the accommodation of the visiting volunteers^ 
 where they C(nild be properly cared for, where they miglit respond 
 quickly to calls fur aid, and where discipline and system shimld be 
 enforced. On the 15th of September a portion of the IJarrs block,, 
 situated on Bay street, was secured, through the consideration of the 
 owners, largely by the efforts of President Daniel, and the Commit- 
 tee on Nurses and Medical Attention began to systematize its work.. 
 
 PHYSICIANS. 
 
 The main object of the Bureau was to promptly supi)ly physi- 
 cians and nurses upon the receipt of recpiests by telephone or other- 
 wise. All volunteer physicians, on arrival, presented tlieir creden- 
 tials tt> the Board of Health, and, if satisfactory, were sent to the 
 Bureau, and were assigned to active duties by the physician in charge, 
 in some particular district of the city, or upon call. There were also 
 several local physicians on duty at the same place. The physicians 
 roomed at the Bureau, and were furnished with a good table, and 
 supplied with necessary vehicles. It was their business to visit pa- 
 tients twice a <lay, besides attending to new cases, and see that nur.ses 
 did their duty. 
 
 The Executive Committee felt tbat it was not qualilied to act in- 
 any matters involving i)hysicians, and referred all matters of a pro- 
 fessional nature to the Board of Healtli. Thus, after tlie Bureau was 
 organized, the question of a proper compensation for visiting physi- 
 cians came up before the Executive Committee, and was referred to- 
 the Board of Health, which recommended that ten dollars per day be- 
 paid them, and the Executive Committee promptly acted in accord- 
 ance with the views of the Board of Health, and paid the physicians 
 at that rate, with the excejition of Dr. Joseph Y. Porter and Dr. F. 
 H. Caldwell, who refused to accept anything for their services. The 
 payment of foreign pliysicians naturally stirred wy) the question of 
 compensation for local physicians, on the part of some of the home 
 physicians, and their friends, and petitions were circulated, asking 
 that the local physicians be paid. The Executive Committee took 
 the unpopular position, which was approved by the Board of Health, 
 that the home physicians, as a class, had no more moral right to>
 
 136 rOMMITTKE OX NURSES, ETC. 
 
 <'laim conipensEition tli;\n the newspaper men, or tele^riipli operators, 
 or post-otMce employees, or than the ministei's, who served niglit and 
 day on the Committee on Kelief , or the various other classes of busi- 
 ness and professional men engaged in relief and charitable work. 
 The pressure brought to bear was heavy, and the Executive Commit- 
 tee found it an embarrassing and distasteful duty to refuse pay- 
 ment to the men whose noble work it thoroughly appreciated, but 
 it maintained its position at home, as it had done in the case of sis- 
 ter communities. The Executive Committee, however, believed it 
 entirely ]iroper that the local physicians who served on the staff at 
 the Bureau, and responded to any call, should receive compensation, 
 and acted thereon as follows: 
 
 October :^(), 1888. 
 Dr. Neul Mitchell, President Board of Health., City : 
 
 Dear Sir: At a meeting of the Executive Committee of this 
 Association, held this morning, the following resolution was passed: 
 
 Bemlred, That the Board of Health be requested to suggest a 
 reasonable compensation for those home physicians who have been 
 enrolled on the Bureau of Medical Attendance, under the authority 
 of the Board of Health, and have satisfactorily performed their en- 
 gagements with that Bureau, taking into consideration any private 
 practice they individually may have. 
 
 Besolved, That this Executive Committee does not feel justified 
 in expending the limited funds in their hands for the relief of yellow 
 fever sufferers, at this time, in payment of home physicians, or any 
 other class of men, but will consider all individual cases of suffering 
 or want. 
 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 Chas. S. Adams, 
 
 Secretary. 
 
 The reply was as follows:

 Charles S. Adams, Esq., Secretary of the Citizens'' Auxdianj Associor 
 tion : 
 
 Dear Sir: Your communication, conveying resolutions by the 
 Executive Committee of the Citizens' Auxiliary Association, on yes- 
 terday, relative to proper compensation for the home physicians who 
 have been employed during the epidemic by authority of the Board 
 of Health, has been received and laid before the Board at its session 
 to-day; and I herewith transmit copy of a resolution which was 
 unanimously passed, and which conveys the sense of the Board in 
 connection with this matter. You will also find appended the names, 
 as well as date of employment of said physicians. 
 
 Bcsnlved, That all resident physicians who have been in the em- 
 j)loy of the Board of Health during the prevalence of the present epi- 
 demic, or are at this time so employed, shall be paid for their ser- 
 vices at the rate of §150.00 a month.

 The Committee did not act on the matter at the time, both be- 
 <ause the financial relations between the Board of Health and the 
 Association were then unsettled, and also because the reply had gone 
 further than the request, and had included the local physicians at 
 the hospitals whf)se compensation the Committee was not ready at 
 the time to assume. On November 10th, however, when the Bureau 
 was re-organized, by retaining local physicians, and the visiting 
 physicians were released, the Executive Committee guaranteed to 
 the Board of Health the payment of the local physicians who should 
 be retained on the Bureau Staff, at the rate established by the Board, 
 "jil^O per month; and still later, paid up the local physicians, includ- 
 ing the hospital surgeons, at the rate fixed by the Board of Health, 
 and in accordance with the time and amounts submitted by the 
 Board. This amount was accepted by most of the physicians, 
 though Dr. J. I). Fernandez generously refused any compensation 
 For his services in connection with 8t. Luke's Hospital, and another 
 physician refused to accept the amount offered, and several threat- 
 ened to sue the Association for more pay, notwithstanding the fact 
 that the Executive Committee had made no contract with any physi- 
 <ian, and had simjily followed out to the letter the recommendations 
 of the Board of Health, which had entire jurisdiction in the 
 matter. 
 
 To recur to the visiting physicians, there was, happily, no mis- 
 understanding between the Association and the strangers, but, on 
 the other hand, the relations were of the pleasantest. The physi- 
 <ians, however, resented an article which appeared in a local jiaper 
 of October 13th, and resigned in a body. This action was, undoubt- 
 edly, hasty, and hai'dly justitied by the facts, and a conference with 
 representatives of the Board of Health and Executive Committee re- 
 .sulted in the physicians recalling their action, and they continued to 
 do good work until such time as the fever began to wane, when, real- 
 izing that the local physicians were able to control it, and that it was 
 a heavy exjiense to maintain the Bureau longer than necessary, they 
 tendered their resignations and left for their several homes.

 Staff of visiting physicians the death of Dr. L. T. Eddy, of Louis- 
 ville, Ky., from yellow fever, which sad event occurred a few min-
 
 COiMMlTTKK ON NURSES, ETC. 139 
 
 iites past 12 o'cloc-k this date. When the appeal was made to tlie 
 country at large for professional aid to the pestilence-stricken city 
 of Jacksonville, Dr. Eddy responded to the call, and has, until him- 
 self stricken down with the fever, been untiring- in his professional 
 attention to the sick and suffering. A call to attend a patient met 
 with a ipiick response, whether it came at midday or midnight, and 
 his courteous demeanor, and cheerful and gentle manner won him 
 many friends among his patients, the Medical Staff' and others. 
 
 Burial services will be held at the office of Undertaker Tyler, to- 
 morrow morning at !) o'clock, and it is reciuested that as many of the 
 staff as can be ])rc.ent will make it convenient to do so. 
 
 J. Y. Poin-KK, M. D., 
 Surgeon in Charge of Medical Bureau. 
 
 At a meeting i>t the ])hysicians connected with the Medical Bu- 
 reau, held on Sunday evening, the following preamble and resolu- 
 tions were i)assed upon the death of Dr. L. T. Eddy: 
 
 Whereas, It has pleased a Divine Providence to call from our 
 midst our beloved brother and friend. Dr. L. T. Eddy, of Louisville, 
 Ky., and 
 
 WiiKKEAS, We admire the grand, noble and self-sacrificing im- 
 pulse to which lie responded so iheerfidly and (juickly, and the tire- 
 less charity with which he labored, and the absolute forgetfulness 
 of self in exposing himself constantly to a deadly pestilence, and 
 
 WiiEiiEAs, There was no thought of reward to even so faintly 
 shadow the Christian fight in which he fell; therefore, be it 
 
 lieaolreiJ, Tliat we mourn for our dead hero, and the stricken of 
 .Tacktfonville have lost a faithful and fearless champion, and we an

 Committee of Visiting Medical Staff. 
 
 Dr. J. Y. Porter, who was placed in charge of the physicians at 
 the Bureau, was also Surgeon in charge of Government Belief Meas- 
 ures, and, as such, his relations with the Association ccmtinued long 
 after the headquarters were closed, and until the final completion of 
 accounts of the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention. 
 
 The principal object in establishing the Bureau was to jsrovide 
 accommodations for nurses. The value of good nursing in the treat- 
 ment of yellow fever is too well appreciated by all persons familiar 
 with the disease to need argument. The Executive Committee, there- 
 fore, took early action to assure the authorities that it considered the 
 matter of nurses one about which early action should be taken, and 
 in which any reasonable expenditure of funds wouhl be justified.
 
 140 COMMITTEE ON NURSES, ETC. 
 
 'J'lieie was no lack of applications, for persons all over the country- 
 began to volunteer their services at the first announcement of the 
 epidemic. The Executive Committee, following the same practice 
 as in the case of physicians, referred all applications to the Board of 
 Health, which examinetl the papers of the applicant and, if accepted, 
 .sent the nurse to the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention. 
 The nurse was thereupon enrolled on the books of the Bureau, and 
 subject to duty assigned by the head nurse clerk, Mr. M. Isaacson. 
 The Government, through Surgeon-General Hamilton, assumed pay- 
 ment for nurses regularly placed on the rolls of the Bureau soon af- 
 ter the Bureau was established, and paid for actual services per- 
 formed at the rate of three dollars per day. Dr. Porter, Surgeon in 
 -charge of Government Belief Measures, supervised all nurses upon the 
 Government pay roll, and was given power by the Board of Health to 
 discharge incompetent or unreliable nurses, and was authorized by 
 the Executive Committee to preserve order and discipline at the Bu- 
 reau. 
 
 It was found necessary to arrest some nurses for drunkenness, 
 carelessness and disorderly conduct, and send them out of town, to 
 prevent other people being imposed ujjon. In spite of the care taken 
 to secure only acclimated and experienced nurses, many wei'e at- 
 tacked by the fever, and others found entirely incompetent. Never- 
 theless, this feature of the Bureau was generally appreciated, and to 
 it is, undoubtedly, due the saving of many lives, and, in great meas- 
 ure, the mildness of the epidemic. 
 
 Applications were made, generally, by the physician in charge of 
 indigent patients, who could not be removed to the hospitals, and 
 nurses sent as promptly as possible by conveyances furnished by the 
 Bureau. 
 
 To show the amount of work necessary to run this single depart- 
 ment of the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention, it may be 
 said that there were five hundred and ninety-four nurses on duty at 
 one time. The total number of nurses enrolled at the Bureau was 
 eight hundred and thirty-seven, of which three hundred and ninety- 
 seven were white, and four hundred and forty colored. Gf this num- 
 ber about two hundred were home or local nurses, and about two- 
 thirds of the number were females. It must be remembered that, 
 besides the nurses on the Government pay roll, there were some at 
 the hospitals not enrolled at the Bureau, and many employed by in- 
 dividuals and various secret and benevolent societies. The Execu- 
 tive Committee paid some nurses employed to care for the sick jjoor 
 before the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention was organ- 
 ized. It is found impracticable to give a correct list of nur.ses who 
 came from different localities, with their residences, because some 
 gave the wrong address; but it may be said, generally, that many
 
 COMMITTEE ON NURSES, ETC. 141 
 
 came from Key West, Tampa and Pensacola, Florida; Mobile and 
 Selma, Alabama; Cleveland and Cincinnati, Obio; Xew Orleans, Lou- 
 isiana: Philadelpbia, Pennsylvania; New York City ; Washington, D. 
 C. ; Savannah, G^eorgia, and Charleston, Soutli Carolina. Charleston, 
 S. C, generously paid the salaries of her nurses during their stay in 
 the city. Upon discharge, the Association provided transportation 
 liome, as may be seen in the report of the Committee on Transjjor- 
 tation. 
 
 The Government, through its officials, soon after establishing its 
 headquarters assumed the payment of drugs ordered ui)on prescri)t- 
 tions of regular physicians, endorsed " Government relief." Instead 
 of establishing a Government disi)ensary. Dr. Porter, for the Govern- 
 ment, designated certain reliable drug stores. Previous to this ac- 
 tion by the Government, the Board of Health had authorized the 
 filling, at specified drug stores, of prescrii)tions given by reputable 
 physicians for the indigent poor. It was found that, in some in- 
 stances, physicians took advantage of the privilege to order liquors 
 in unnecessary <iuantities; that some druggists had charged exorbi- 
 tant prices, and that impositions of various natures liad been prac- 
 ticed: and it became necessary for the Executive Committee to in- 
 struct the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention to carefully 
 compare all the drug bills which the Association was expected to pay, 
 with the original prescriptions, before payment. This necessitated 
 the expenditure of some time, and, in almost all cases, the amount of 
 the bill was scaled down about one-third. The bills were then exam- 
 ined, at the re<iuest of the Executive Committee, by Dr. R. P. Dan- 
 iel, of the Board of Health, and by Dr. J. Y. Porter, and were paid 
 as approved by them. 
 
 SICK SUPPI.IES. 
 
 The Executive Committee was appealed to, early in tlie epi- 
 demic, to furnish some articles of food for the indigent sick and con- 
 valescents, more nourishing than the usual rations given to the indi- 
 gent through the Committee on Relief, Besides articles of food, it 
 was also necessary to make some provision for supplying clothing 
 and bedding to poor people, to replace infected articles destroyed by 
 the authorities. The Executive Committee, accordingly, arranged to 
 supply reasonable demands of this nature, at first tlirough the Com- 
 mittee on Relief; later, through tlie Committee on Nurses and Medi- 
 cal Attention. Such articles as tea, coffee and sugar, wines, chick- 
 ens, blankets, etc., were furnished upon tlie order of certain regular 
 physicians, who were designated by the Board of Health, and by the 
 chairman of the Committee on Relief. Tlirough no fault of the Com-
 
 142 COMMITTEE ON NUKSES, ETC. 
 
 mittee on Nurses and Medical Attention, the original orders of this 
 nature \vere destroyed, and it is, therefore, impossible to give the 
 exact number of applications of this kind during the whole epidemic. 
 The records show, however, that, up to October 20th, 3,114 orders 
 for sick supplies were filled, and, at a reasonable estimate, fully an- 
 other thousand should be added for the remaining period of the epi- 
 demic.

 Another department of this committee was the burial of the 
 dead. The Association was obliged to assume, in the al>8ence of ac- 
 tion by the city or county authorities, the burial of many of the poor 
 who died by reason of the plague. It was not designed, at hrst, that 
 the Association should become responsible for all such cases, but as 
 early as September 13th, after different attemiits on t])e part of the 
 Executive Committee to secure prompt and decent burial of the dead, 
 the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention was charged with 
 the duty of looking after the undertakers, and was given discretion 
 to assume the reasonable expenses of l>urial, in cases of hardship, and 
 during the latter part of the time the Executive Committee was 
 obliged to pay in almost all cases. T. H. Willard was put in charge 
 of this department, and personally investigated all applications for 
 burial. A price of fifteen dollars was allowed by the Association for 
 burial, and undertakers' bills, which had been authorized by the 
 Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention, were approved and 
 paid by the Association, when accompanied by a proper certificate 
 <if the attending physician, and sexton of the cemetery in which the 
 interment was made 
 
 AMIUI.AXCES AND VEHICLES. 
 
 Upon the establishment of the Bureau, the Board of Health 
 turned over to the committee the supervision of the ambulances, 
 which dei)artment was also placed in direct charge of Mr. Willard. 
 Four aml>ulances were kept constantly at work, day and night, until 
 about the middle of October, when arrangements were made by 
 which only such as were absolutely needed were kept in service con- 
 tinuously. Applications for ambulances to remove the sick to the 
 hospitals were made, generally, by physicians, and they were promptly 
 furnished, if, upon investigation, the case properly required it. Be- 
 sides ambulances, the committee was at a very considerable expense 
 to furnish vehicles with which to supply physicians and nurses 
 promptly, day and night. Later, the control of both vehicles and 
 ambulances was assumed by a special Committee on Vehicles, ap- 
 jiointcd ])y the Executise Committee.
 
 COMMITTEE ON' Xl^RSES, ETC. 143 
 
 i:kstax:i:a>'t. 
 
 The necessity for fuinishing meals for physicians and nurses has 
 been spoken of. The residents of the Bureau, probably, fared bet- 
 ter than the inmates of any of the few restaurants or hotels which 
 remained open during the epidemic, and yet the cost was not excess- 
 ive, when the number of meals is considered. Provision was made, 
 outside of the Bureau, for feeding of colored nurses, and meals were 
 prepared and sent by wagons to nurses on duty, as it was soon found 
 absolutely necessary for their comfort. 
 
 The total number of meals furnished by the committee was: 
 
 Doctors and White Nurses 37,029 
 
 Colored Nurses li),:{7G 
 
 Nurses on duty, by wagons 10,G14 
 
 Total (i7,019 
 
 The Committee on Xurses and Medical Attention was more inti- 
 mately connected with Government Eelief Measures than any other 
 committee, on account of the Bureau being also the headquarters of 
 Dr. J. Y. Porter and staff. Some deduction in the exi>cnse of the 
 committee must, therefore, be made for this reason; and, in reading 
 the financial statement of the committee, the items of " fumigation " 
 and "infected articles destroyed " only figure here because the funds 
 advanced by the Association for these matters, for the sake of con- 
 venience, passed through the hands of this committee. 
 
 It may be said that the expenses of this committee have been 
 criticised at home more severely than the cost of any other depart- 
 ment, but, generally, by persons who were ignorant of the immense 
 work done by the committee. As an illustration, it was frequently 
 stated that the expense of the restaurant was too great, and yet an 
 estimate, based on the number <jf meals furnished, does not show the 
 expense was excessive. A fair consideration of the items in the 
 statement appended will, we think, not justify a charge of waste 
 or extravagance. The work of the committee, in its different depart- 
 ments, certainly was as necessary and effective for the public wel- 
 fare as that of any part of the Association. 
 
 Before closing this short outline of the work of the committee 
 it may be well to .say a few words about the Red Cross Association 
 and the Harry Miner nurses, although, out of consideration for the 
 public, these subjects will be touched upon very briefly. 
 
 THE AMERICAN KED CHOSS ASSOCIATION. 
 
 September 10th Dr. >^eal Mitcliell, President of the Board of 
 Health, reported to the Executive Committee that Clara Barton, 
 President of the American Red Cross Association, had, some time 
 previous, wired her willingness to establish headquarters of the As-
 
 144 COMMITTEK ON NURSES, ETC. 
 
 sociatioii in Jacksonville, and liad been authorized to do so at on<x>. 
 Five days later Dr. Mitchell introduced Colonel F. E. Southmayd, of 
 the Red Cross Association, to the meeting of the Executive Commit- . 
 tee. The Executive Committee arranged a conference v^'ith Colonel 
 Southmayd, inviting, besides the committee, the chairman of the 
 Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention, Dr. Joseph Y. Porter 
 and Dr. Neal Mitchell. Colonel Southmayd explained his views, and 
 the methods of the Red Cross Association. The Executive Commit- 
 tee, the same day, passed the following resolution: 
 
 Besolved, That the American Red Cross Association, through 
 Colonel F. R. Southmayd, its repi'esentative, be requested to give its 
 aid and co-operation to our Committee on Nurses and Medical At- 
 tention. 
 
 A few days later Colonel Southmayd was urged by President 
 Daniel to attend a meeting of the Executive Committee, in order 
 that an understanding might be arrived at by which he could render 
 more active assistance in relief work, but a previous engagement to 
 go to Macclenny prevented his acceptance at this time. Colonel 
 Southmayd went to Macclenny, at the request of President Mitchell, 
 of the Board of Health, by special train furnished by the Executive 
 Committee, and, on his return, i)resented his report to Dr. Mitchell,, 
 under the misapprehension, it appeared afterwards, that he was the 
 President of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association. The 
 Executive Committee, not being apprised of any report, naturally,, 
 took no notice of it, and, in the immense pressure of other matters, 
 omitted to further rejieat to Colonel Southmnyd the request for the 
 co-operation of the Red Cross Association. 
 
 The Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention had, by this 
 time, organized the Bureau for Nurses in good running order, and it 
 was not thought practicable, or desirable, to reorganize it in accord- 
 ance with the criticisms made, and methods explained, by the repre- 
 sentative of the Red Cross. The Committee on Nurses and Medical 
 Attention had considerable trouble with the nurses brought from 
 New Orleans by Colonel Southmayd, by reason of their average in- 
 efficiency and unreliability, and they were supposed to be Red Cross 
 nurses until the publication of the following card: 
 
 Jacksonvillio, September 17, 1S8S 
 
 Tu the Editor of the Tiuici^-Union : 
 
 Since leaving New Orleans to come to your ''ity, and more partic- 
 ularly since reaching Jacksonville, 1 have seen considerable mention 
 made in press telegrams, and in reportorial and editorial columns of 
 Red Cross nurses. I deem it, therefore, necessary to state that the 
 American Red ("ross has no nurses, to my knowletlge; cerfainly none 
 in that portion of our country in which I am the representative of 
 the American Red Cross; that is, the lower Mississipi)i Valley.
 
 COMMITTEE ON NURSES, ETC. 145 
 
 I am in Jacksonville to-day because of a request made by your 
 Board of Healtb, of Miss Clara Barton, president of the American 
 Red Cross, Washington, D. C, and I am here only to serve yo;ir peo- 
 ple in any way in my power, and which is signified to me by your 
 Board of Health, or the other worthy gentlemen who compose the 
 associations and committees who are so earnestly at work for the 
 relief of your sick and distressed community. Prior to the receipt 
 of the dispatch from Miss Barton which brought me here. Dr. Mitch- 
 ell had dispatched to Dr. Wilkinson, president of the Louisiana State 
 Board of Healtli, for nurses for the sick in Jacksonville. Dr. Wil- 
 kinson asked me to attend to the matter for him, as he believed me 
 more able than any other to get the nurses desired. For many years 
 I have had occasion, in times of epidemic in my own city, for the 
 use of nurses, and have, also, on more than one occasion, had to 
 send them to other cities, notably to Shreveport, and Memphis, in 
 187;^, to Brunswick, Ga., in 187(i, and to some sixty or more towns 
 in the widespread ei/idemic of 187S. Therefore, Dr. Wilkinson 
 asked my help. In response to Dr. MitchelFs dispatches, I hunted 
 up and sent some thirty-two of those nurses before I came myself, 
 and wlien I came, brought eighteen more with me, ten of whom I 
 left at Macclenny to attend the sick there, reporting the fact to Dr. 
 Mitchell, supposing the Relief Committee here was attending, or 
 wanted to attend, to the sick there, in which supposition I found I 
 was correct. At Baldwin I received another dispatch from Dr. 
 Mitchell for twenty more nurses, and, having brought with me the 
 names and addresses of a number of nurses, I dispatched at once, in 
 accordance with Dr. Mitchell's request. 
 
 Not one of these nurses has ever served the Red Cross, for the- 
 Red Cross has never, in the South, at least, engaged in any work in 
 which nurses are needed. 1 can readily understand why the name 
 has attached to them, which is because I am a member of the Na- 
 tional Red Cross, and as a member of that association I have been 
 brought here, as stated. But my action in sending the nurses to 
 Dr. Mitchell was personal and individual, to oblige my friend Dr. 
 Wilkinson, of New Orleans, and I desire that the good people of 
 Jacksonville should understand and make the distinction. 
 
 Trusting you will give this place in your columns, I remain. 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 F. R. SOUTHMAYD, 
 
 Am. Red Cross, 
 
 It appeared by Col. Southmayd's statement that there were no 
 Red Cross nurses in the city, and it was also known that he was the 
 only official rei)resentative of the Association on the ground. The 
 members of the Executive Committee fully recognized the magnifi- 
 cent work of the American National Red Cross Association, and ap- 
 preciated its early offer of assistance, and endeavored to do away 
 with the friction which had arisen between the representative of the 
 Association and the Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention, 
 and also the Board of Health and the Surgeon in charge of the Gov- 
 ernment Relief Measures, as well as ditferent individuals. The l.ick 
 of co-operation and want of harmonv was unfortunate, but it be-
 
 140 COMMITTEK OX NLJ{SKS, KTC 
 
 came greater as time passed, and Col. Soutlimayd was finally re- 
 called at the request transmitted by the following telegram: 
 
 Mifts Clara Burton, President lieiJ Cross Association, Washington, 
 
 D. C: 
 
 You will confer a favor on me by withdrawing Sonthmayd. He 
 is a hindrance to me in my official capacity in command of Govern- 
 ment nurses. 
 
 J. Y. POBTER, 
 
 Surgeon in Charge of Government Eelief Measures. 
 
 Col. iSouthmayd, before he left, complained to the Executive 
 Committee about some charges made in the New York World, by its 
 special correspondent, and asked for an investigation, which was 
 not acceded to because the matter seemed to be personal, and the 
 Committee had its hands full of more pressing duties. 
 
 In October the Secretary of the American Ked Cross forwarded 
 to the Association a copy of Col. Sonthmayd" s report, together with 
 the following courteous letter: 
 
 WAsiiiN(iTox, D. C. October, 1888. 
 
 Hon. P. McQitdiil, President Anxilianj Sanitary Association, Jack- 
 sonville, Fla.: 
 
 Deak Siij— Col. F. R. Sonthmayd, having made report of his 
 anission to Jacksonville, to a meeting of the Executive Committee of 
 the American Association of the Red Cross, the said report being 
 accepted, it was voted that the Secretary of the meeting be requested 
 to have made a vei'batim copy of t^ie same and forward to the Aux- 
 iliary Sanitary Association of Jacksonville, Florida, together with 
 the sincere sympathies of the officers of the Association of the Red 
 Crf)ss, for the great affiictions which have befallen their community, 
 and the severe trials which they have been called to pass through, 
 and their congratulations, as well, at the jjrospect of better days to 
 •come.

 Probably the most annoying circumstance connected with the 
 work of the Association was the matter of the " Miner Xurses." 
 This important i)art of the yellow fever epidemic of 1888, was inau- 
 gurated by the receipt of the following telegram, by President Neal 
 Mitchell, of the Board of Ilealtli: 
 
 Xkw "^'ohk, September 7, 1888. 
 Dr. Neal Mitchell : 
 
 I propose to send a corps of trained nurses and jiay their salaries 
 and transportation out of my own pocket. Can you give them 
 proper accommodations, and how manv <lo you require?

 Dr. Mitchell, after conference with the Executive Committee, 
 Tesponded as follows: 
 
 Jacksonville, Fi,a, September 7, 1888. 
 H. C. Miner : 
 
 We gratefully accei)t your generous offer. Are ten acclimated 
 aiurses too many to ask? 
 
 Xeai. Mitchell, 
 
 Board of Health. 
 
 It afterwards appeared that Mr. J. Charles Davis, the agent of 
 Mr. Miner, received many applications from volunteer nurses who 
 were willing to go to Florida, and that from these certain ones were 
 selected, who signed the following agreement: 
 
 New York, September 11, 1888. 
 This is to certify that we, the undersigned, offer our services 
 free for the service of nursing vellow fever patients in .Jacksonville, 
 .Florida.

 J. W. Berxey. 
 
 The nurses named, together with William Robertson and John 
 Y. Barr, came to Jacksonville in due season, at the expense of Mr. 
 !Miner, and were set to work. As has been heretofore explained, tlie 
 volunteer nurses from abroad were enrolled at the Bureau of Nurses, 
 and received pay at the rate of $3 per day for time of actual Avork, 
 from the Government. It being understood that the Miner nurses 
 were sent at the expense of Mr. Miner, they wei'e not put on the 
 Government pay-roll. Almost all of the nurses in question were 
 without funds, and soon applied to the Association for aid. The 
 situation then developed rapidly. The nurses claimed Mr. Miner 
 had agreed to pay them. Mr. Miner, through his agent, Mr. Davis, 
 claimed the nurses offered their services voluntarily. The Execu- 
 tive Committee felt it was a matter in which it was not directly con- 
 cerned, that it was, indeed, a question to be settled between the 
 parties themselves. It became evident to the Committee, however, 
 that some of the nurses were in need, notwithstanding their general 
 expenses were provided at the Bureau of Nurses, and while it did 
 not feel Justified in paying the nurses money for wages, which it 
 could not hope to receive back from the Government, as in other 
 cases, it did not like to assume the position of accepting the services 
 of nurses who were not receiving any compensation. The Executive 
 Committee, therefore, in an unguarded moment, allowed itself to
 
 148 COMMITTEE ON MKSES, KTC. 
 
 become an intermediary in communications between Mr. Miner and 
 the nurses, and from thenceforth there was hardly a day that did not 
 bring several communications about the Miner nurses, or an appeal 
 from some of the nurses themselves, or a call by a committee, or a visit 
 from some of their friends or enemies. At last a full statement of facts 
 was sent to the Xew York Committee of the Association, and the 
 matter was referred to it for action. The New York Committee and 
 Mr. Miner's agent submitted the whole matter to F. K. King-Hall, 
 special correspondent of the New York World, as a referee, and 
 after proper time for examination, the referee advised the payment 
 of certain sums of money to the several nurses to cover expenses, 
 and, at the request of Mr. Minei', the Executive Committee advanced 
 the funds necessary to pay the amounts recommended, and trans- 
 portation of the nurses to New York, wliich funds were afterwards 
 returned by Mr. Miner. 
 
 It may be said here that the amounts paid the nurses averaged 
 about $40 apiece, and that the actual services of the nurses, if paid 
 at the regular Government rate, would have been worth little more, 
 as they were, with two exceptions, all sick with the fever, and aver- 
 aged but a few days of actual service apiece. The Executive Com- 
 mittee, moreover, took care of one of the nurses who had a severe 
 case of the fever, furnished him with suitable clothes, etc., and paid 
 his board during some time after convalescence, at the expense of 
 the Association. 
 
 And so the matter ended, or rather, the Committee, collectively 
 and individually, hoped and ])rayed that it had terminated, but there 
 is now a pile of letters (of which some are doubtless unanswered) 
 among the files of the Association, which came afterwards, from the 
 nurses, and friends, and enemies, and others who had no possible 
 interest in the matter except tliat of benevolence; and a cry by some 
 jocular person that a telegram about the Miner nurses has been re- 
 ceived, will instantly i)ut to Might an important meeting of the Ex- 
 ecutive Committee or the Association at this late day. 
 
 The well intended action of the Executive Committee in the case 
 of the Miner nurses met with the same reward as similar action did 
 in other matters, when the Executive Committee went outside of its 
 usual jurisdiction to assume duties and liabilities, out of a desire to 
 assist persons who had no claim upon it. The recipients of su("h 
 benefit quite fre(iuently not only ai)peare(l ungrateful for the assist- 
 ance rendei'ed, but were disposed to use the fact that soniething had 
 been done for their i-elief as a basis for a claim that an obligation 
 was admitted, and a demand for more aid.

 COMMITTEE ON CONFERENCE. 
 
 The articles of association adopted by the members of the Asso- 
 ciation provided for a committee wliich was called the Committee 
 on Conference. 
 
 P. McQuaid was appointed chairman of the committee when the 
 Association was organized, and continued as such until elected act- 
 ing president. Upon the election of Mr. McQuaid as president, after 
 the death of President Daniel, Mr. P. E. McMurray was appointed 
 chairman. The other members of the committee consisted of C. B. 
 Rogers and J. C. Greeley, the latter of whom served for some tinie 
 as temporary chairman. On different occasions various members of 
 the Executive Committee also acted upon the Committee on Confer- 
 ence, to execute specific duties. 
 
 The idea of the founders of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary 
 Association, as has been repeatedly stated, was to make the organi- 
 zation aiixiliary to the constituted authorities, that is, to the city 
 government of Jacksonville and to the Duval County Board of 
 Health. The name of the Association implies its mission, and the 
 original intention has been consistently carried out. Such being the 
 character of the work outlined for the Association, it became neces- 
 sary to provide ways and means to insure a constant interchange of 
 information and ideas between the Association and the official or- 
 ganizations. The Association had no legal existence as an official 
 body, or authority to carry into effect the views of its members, with 
 the weight of official action. It represented, however, the citizens 
 of Jacksonville, and was, at all times ostensibly, at most times actu- 
 ally, founded on public opinion. The authorities, naturally, there 
 fore, were glad to receive suggestions and assistance from the Asso- 
 ciation. 
 
 The exigencies of the times were great, and it w^as correctly 
 foreseen that the usual formal communication by letter was not 
 adapted to the needs of the hour, hence the Committee on Confex-- 
 ence. It was the duty of this committtee to wait upon the other 
 organizations personally, and communicate the views and suggestions 
 of the Association as fully as the particular case required, leaving 
 an official memorandum when necessary, and soliciting action if re- 
 quired. The Association also invited the attendance of a representa- 
 tive from the City Council and Board of Health at their daily meet- 
 ings, and such representatives were usually present. 
 
 To this close, personal, intimate acquaintance with the informa- 
 tion, motives and methods of the several organizations was undoubt-
 
 COMMITTKK OX COXFERENCE. 151 
 
 edly due, in great part, the harmony that existed lietween tlieni, and 
 their consequent co-operation and support. 
 
 Soon after the epidemic was announced, Dr. Joseph Y. Porter^ 
 at the request of tlie Association and tlie autliorities, took cliarge of 
 the Government Relief Measures in Fhirida, under appointment of 
 Surgeon-General Hamilton, M. II. S., and thereafter the relations of 
 the Association with Dr. Porter were fully as intimate and harmoni- 
 ous as with the other authorities, and almost daily communication 
 was had by means of the Committee on Confei'ence on the one hand, 
 and on the other by the frequent personal attendance of Dr. Porter 
 upon the meetings of the Association. 
 
 The scope of the sanitary and relief work assumed by and dele- 
 gated to the Association, constantly expanded aiul enlarged. The 
 receipt and handling of the entire funils contributed, naturally in- 
 creased the duties and responsibilities of the Association, and while 
 it did not of itself give to the Associatirm any extension of power, 
 the fact that the officers and members were morally bound to secure 
 a careful disbursement of the funds entrusted to their care, rendered 
 it imjjerative that the Association should exerci.se supervision over 
 all matters calling for the expenditure of money. It may be a mat- 
 ter of interest to the reader to note, in reading the report, and espe- 
 cially the chapter giving an outline of the epidemic, that in many 
 instances the initiation of public measures adopted by the authori- 
 ties was due to the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association. To 
 a close ob.server it will appear that few of the suggestions of the As- 
 sociation failed to l)e approved by the authorities, although it is 
 true that, in many cases, such action was delayed for some time. 
 
 While it is not expedient here to enter into detail with regard to 
 the action of the various official organizations, it is, perhajis, well to- 
 cover some important points of interest under the following heads: 
 
 < ITY tOL'XClL. 
 
 The City Council of Jacksonville accepted tlie invitation of the 
 Executive Committee to be represented in the meetings of the latter 
 body, and during the first portion of the epidemic Acting Mayor J. 
 W. Archibald, later Acting Mayor D. T. Gerow, effectively co-oper- 
 ated with the Executive Committee, not only in matters in which 
 the city was officially interested, but in various useful capacities. 
 Councilmeii William Clarke, J. H. Stephens and T. J. Boyd, and J. 
 C. Greeley, of the Board of Public Works, appeared for the city on 
 different occasions, and tendered assistance in other ways. The City 
 Council was unfortunate in lacking the necessary quorum of mem- 
 bers a great part of the time, and this fact, which was early foreseen, 
 had its due weight in organizing the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary 
 Association. The only time at which there existed anv misunder-
 
 152 COMMITTEE OX fOXFEUEXCE. 
 
 standing between the city authorities and the Association was wlien 
 the appeal for aid was sent out over the wires of the country. On 
 the morning of September 6th the appeal for aid was read at the 
 meeting of the Executive Committee, and ordered signed and pub- 
 lished at once, the financial situation requiring immediate action. 
 In the afternoon of the same day, at a meeting of the City Council, 
 independent action was taken, with a similar idea in view. The Ex- 
 ecutive Committee, on the next day, realizing the unfortunate effect 
 of any lack, or apparent lack, of harmony, charged its Conference 
 Committee to meet the Council, which was promptly done. The sit- 
 uation was thoroughly canvassed, and the City Council finally ap- 
 proved the action of the Association, and abandoned its intention of 
 independent measures, by the passage of the following resohition : 
 
 Resolved, That the City Council does hereby indorse all the ac- 
 tions of the Citizens' Auxiliary Association, and its Executive Com- 
 mittee, in their efforts to control the epidemic now raging in our 
 midst, and that we will, in our official caj^acity, do all we can to ren- 
 der aid to them. 
 
 So early as August 15th the City Council appropriated the sum 
 of .$2,000 of the city funds for the use of the Association. This 
 amount was never drawn or used, however, because the members of 
 the Executive Committee soon realized that the city would need all 
 of its funds for its own expenses, as the epidemic had cut off the 
 usual means of revenue, and the same cause, in connection with 
 other reasons, rendered difficult the raising of funds by unusual 
 methods. 
 
 On November 2d the city needed funds to pay the police force 
 and other necessary bills; and, upon motion of the Executive Com- 
 mittee, the S2,000 previously spoken of was returned to the proper 
 authorities. 
 
 On the 1st day of October, the city finances being at low ebb, 
 and it being of the greatest importance that jjolice protection be 
 maintained, and that funds be i^rovided for salaries of sanitary, po- 
 lice and other necessary officials, and for other purposes, the Execu- 
 tive Committee, after careful considei'ation and discussion, made the 
 sum of $5,000 available from the funds of the Association, for the 
 use of the city, and paid that amount to the proper authorities. 
 This sum was voted in the nature of an advance without security, 
 the Executive Committee believing that the money would be, un- 
 doubtedly, expended with care, and that such action was justified 
 by the circumstances, but leaving tlie matter in such a way that the 
 city could refund it if, as the committee hoped, the city should con- 
 sider such return expedient. By reference to the Chronological Sum-
 
 OOMJNflTTEE ON CONFERENCE. 153 
 
 mary, March 27th, it will be seen that the city has taken no steps to 
 refund the money, and that the account stands: 
 
 Jacksonville City Government, expended for police and other 
 municipal purposes, $5,()U0. 
 
 The city co-ojierated with the Association, from time to time, by 
 taking measures to legalize its action, by ordinance and resolution, 
 as in the case of the appointment of sanitary police, the delegation 
 of power to Dr. Joseph Y. Porter, in charge of disinfection matters, 
 and the affixing of penalties for secretion of infected material, and 
 to prevent the return of refugees before official notification by the 
 authorities. 
 
 COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. 
 
 On August loth $8,000 was made available to the Association by 
 the Board of County Commissioners of Duval county, to assist in 
 meeting the expenses of the epidemic. 
 
 Some reference to the County Commissioners in Duval county is 
 necessary, to explain the position of the Executive Committee and 
 demonstrate its consistency in matters of relief. It may be noted, in 
 reading that portion of the report which treats of " Sister Communi- 
 ties," that, in more than one instance, the correspondence on the 
 part of the Executive Committee made evident the fact that the com- 
 mittee strongly assumed the position, in relation to other communi- 
 ties, that it was not justified in expending the funds held by it as 
 trustee for the " yellow fever sufferers," for the benefit of those who 
 suffered indirectly from quarantine regulations and the consequent 
 •depression of business, or from lack of employment; but that such 
 persons were, when in indigent circumstances, a proper object of re- 
 lief and care to the County Commissioners of the county in which 
 they resided. It is true that the Association extended considerable 
 relief in Duval county, to persons living outside of the city, through 
 its Committee on Duval County at Large, but, in almost all cases, 
 the relief was to inhabitants ot infected localities. At one time some 
 relief was administered, through the same channel, to indigent per- 
 sons living in localities not actually infected, the relief, generally, 
 being afforded by means of labor performed on the roads; but the 
 committee soon came to the conclusion that such expenditure was 
 not strictly justifiable, especially when it became necessary to prac- 
 tice the strictest economy, and therefore adopted the view given 
 above, which view was thereafter consistently applied to local, as 
 well as other applications. Petitions for relief from various locali- 
 ties in the county continued to come in to the committee, in most 
 cases taking the form of a request for employment, but after this 
 date they were referred to the Board of County Commissioners. 
 
 On November 20th the petitions of citizens of Arlington, Mill

 directed by the Executive Committee of your Association " to ascer- 
 tain from me, as chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, 
 the earliest date at which the Board could confer with the Executive 
 Committee in regard to assistance for destitute people in the coun-

 meeting in September, for want of a quorum, owing to the epidemic;; 
 but I hope we will be able to hold a session on the first Wednesday

 and, if possible, we will meet your views. 
 
 It may not be amiss to state that the Board of County Commis- 
 sioners has a standing Committee on Poor, and whilst the members 
 of that committee have not been able to hold meetings, yet, in view 
 of the urgency of the occasion, each member has acted independently, 
 and have rendered relief, and are yet doing so, to our destitute fel- 
 low-citizens in the county, wherever practicable, consistent with the 
 condition of the county finances, and the limits of the law.

 Association, held this morning, the following resolution was adopted, 
 and I am instructed to transmit you a copy of it: 
 
 WiiEKKAs, The communication of Dr. Ily. IJohiusou, President 
 of the Board of County Commissioners, addressed to the Secretary 
 of this Association, in resi)onse to a request by the Executive Com- 
 mittee for a conference with the Board of County Commissioners in 
 regard to assistance for destitute peoi)le in the county, names the 
 first Wednesday i'l December as the earliest date up(m which he 
 hopes to be able to hold a session of the Board of (bounty Commis-

 ]{psoh-<'(l, Tliat the urgency of taking promjjt measTires to re- 
 lieve the sidfering and distressed jxtor of the county is so great as, in 
 the estimation of this committee, to warrant an attempt to call a 
 special meeting of the Board of County Commissioners. 
 
 Rcsolrcil, That the Secretary be recjuested to again communica- 
 cate with Dr. Ily. Bobinson the reipu'st that, as President of the 
 Board of County Commissioners, he will call a si)e('ial meeting of the 
 Board at the earliest practicable date, for the purpose of a confer- 
 ence with the Executive Committee. 
 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 ClIAS. S. A HAMS, 
 
 Secietary. 
 No reply, and no conference had; and the Executive Committee, 
 while it continued to refer such api)lications for relief as seemed 
 proper charges oi the county, are not officially advised of the action 
 f)f the County Commissioners in such cases, or what provision, if 
 any, was made for relief. 
 
 I4<)Aj:i> ok iikai.tii. 
 
 The relations between tlie Association and the Board of Health 
 were intimate, constant and harmonious. The Board of Health ac- 
 cepted the invitation of the Executive Committee, and was repre- 
 sented at its meetings, generally, by its President, Dr. Xeal Mitchell, 
 or by Dr. P. P. Daniel. The Executive fJommittee, when organized, 
 elected as treasurer and chairman of its Committee on Sanitation 
 H. A. L'Engle, who was also a member of the Board of Health, and, 
 upon his death, recommended to Governor Perry, as his successor in 
 the Board of Health, his brt)ther. Dr. J. C. L'Engle, who had been 
 elected to fill offices in the Association made vacant in the same 
 way, which recommendation was followed. A member of the 
 Board of Health was also elected a member of the Association's 
 Committee on Claims. 
 
 The intimate relations of the two bodies rendered it necessary, 
 as w^ell as desirable, to include the action of the Board of Health in 
 many places in this report, and it would be but repetition to refer to
 
 156 COMMITTEE ON CONFERENCE. 
 
 them here; but some matters, not touched upon in detail, may prop- 
 erly be mentioned. It has been stated in this chapter, before, that 
 the Executive Committee, in its auxiliary capacity, was not in posi- 
 tion to execute and enforce its views with the weight of official au- 
 thoi'itj'. In all matters pertaining to public health the Board of 
 Health was omnipotent. The Association could, and did, suggest 
 matters which were, in the minds of its members, important. These 
 suggestions always received courteous and careful consideration, and 
 were, generally, endorsed and acted upon. In this way, the Associa- 
 tion may modestly claim credit for originating many important meas- 
 ures. The request for the appointment of Dr. Joseph Y. Porter as 
 Surgeon in charge of Government Relief Measures, the establishment 
 of the headquarters for visiting physicians and nurses, the organiza- 
 tion of a sanitary police force ai"e illustrations. 
 
 The action of the Board of Health on such matters, while gen- 
 erally favorable, was not always as prompt as the Executive Com- 
 mittees desired, the delay, in many cases, being, doubtless, due to 
 want of a necessary quorum. For example, the Executive Commit- 
 tee urged the adoption of some kind of quarantine restrictions, to 
 prevent the ingress of persons from infected localities, and those ex- 
 pecting relief. The few days delay at this time probably admitted 
 a number of idle and worthless men, who came into the city and 
 threatened to make trouble in questions involving relief and labor. 
 The Executive Committee was compelled to continue to pay the ex- 
 penses of St. Luke's and Sand-Hills hospitals during the time the 
 Board of Health considered the advisability of turning them over to 
 the care of Dr. J. Y. Porter, who was willing to assume the respon- 
 sibility and expense, on behalf of the Government, in accordance 
 with the recommendation of the Executive Committee. The Exec- 
 utive Committee, besides urging the importance of undertaking 
 measures to meet the exigencies of the epidemic, was frequently first 
 to suggest, in the spirit of economy, the abolishment of the same 
 measures after the need for them had passed, as in the case of for- 
 eign physicians and nurses. The committee early suggested the em- 
 ployment of suitable nurses and physicians to relieve the overbur- 
 dened local ones, and requested that their services be dispensed with 
 at the earliest time practicable. 
 
 As has been stated, the relations of the two organizations were 
 generally harmonious. The Executive Committee was careful to 
 refer all matters within its jurisdiction to the Board of Health, as 
 in the cases of the employment of all physicians and nurses, in which 
 cases the Board settled the comi^ensation, the terms of service, and 
 made all contracts therefor. 
 
 Tiie Executive Committee advanced several thousand dollars to 
 the Board of Health, in the first two or three months, upon the
 
 COMMITTEE ON CONFERENCE, 157 
 
 requisition of its various otficers, for extraordinary expenses incur- 
 red during the epidemic, such as the expenses of the hospitals, etc. 
 While the Committee had no disposition to criticise the items of 
 such expenditures, it did feel obliged to ask that financial state- 
 ments, covering such matters, be turned in. As early as October 
 12th, the Executive Committee requested such a statement, and 
 from time to time continued to urge its importance, until December 
 10th, when a statement was presented. Upon examination it was 
 found that some items were included which the Committee did not 
 feel it could allow from the funds of the Association, such as the 
 salary of the Port Physician at St. Johns Bar, which was an ordinary 
 expense of the Board of Health, chargeable to the county, and so 
 notified the Boaid of Health. The financial matters were, however, 
 soon after satisfactorily adjusted, and original vouchers turned in to 
 the Association, and the items were thereupon credited the Board 
 of Health and charged upon the books of the Association to the re- 
 spective departments for which tlie expense was incurred. 
 
 It is a matter of regret that there can be published in this report 
 no official information from the Board of Health. The Secretary of 
 the Association, on the 3d day of December, presented a report to 
 the Executive Committee outlining the proposed scope of the re- 
 port, and urging that the Board of Health be invited to contribute a 
 paper treating of the epidemic from a medical standpoint, but writ- 
 ten in a popvilar way. The suggestion was adopted, and the invita- 
 tion was extended to and accepted by tlie Board of Health, and the 
 editor discussed with a special committee, appointed by that body, 
 the general plan of the report. It was suggested at that conference 
 that it would be a matter of general interest to show, by a plate map, 
 the plan of the city, including a representation, in colors, of the 
 sewer and water systems, etc. Acting upon the suggestion, a draft 
 of a map of the city was made, and the editor, duriiig a short vaca- 
 tion, took some pains and trouble to interview engravers, and make 
 arrangements for the contracts of engraving, etc. The following 
 correspondence explains itself:

 Neal Mitchell, M. J)., I'rvnUli, a Board of Health, City: 
 
 Deak Sir — On my recent vacation, while at St. Louis, I called 
 upon several engravers, with the view of ascertaining the necessary 
 cost of a plate map of the city, representing the sewerage, paved 
 streets, etc., in accordance with the conversation 1 had with you be- 
 fore my departure. Upon my return to the city I reported the cost 
 of such map to the P^i-ecutive Commit^.ee of the above Association, 
 and received theii sanction of the same, with power to incur the ex- 
 jjense attendant upon such a publication. It is, however, impera- 
 tively necessary that immediate measures be taken to perfect a draft 
 of such a map, and I must earnestly request you to confer with me
 
 158 OOMMITTEK ON COIVFKREXOK. 
 
 upon the matter at tlie earliest i)racticable moment, if the Board of 
 Health considers this a matter of sufticient interest to the public, and 
 is desirous of accepting the offer of this Committee to publish the 
 plates. The draft of the map will have to be forwarded by the 15tli 
 inst., in complete shape, in order to insure i)id)]ication, without de- 
 laying tlie rest of the pamphlet. Please advise me, at once, whether 
 or not you desire to co-operate in ari-anging the necessary details.

 Jacksonville, Fla., January 12, 188*.). 
 Mr. C. S. Addins, Secretary Citizens^ Auxiliary Sanitary Association : 
 
 My Ueaij Sir — The Board of Health, recognizing the desirability 
 of writing a history of the recent epidemic of yellow fever, at as 
 early a date as possible, decided (although the time for its prepara- 
 tion was not commensurate with the imiiortance of the work) to ac- 
 cept your invitation, and publish the history with that of the Citi- 
 zens Auxiliary Sanitary As.sociation. I was, apj)f)inted to represent 
 the Board in this publication. I likewise recognized tlie fact that 
 the time for preparation was short, nevertheless, 1 accepted, believ- 
 ing that it might be accomplished within the prescribed limit. 
 
 Tt is with extreme regret, both to myself and the Board of 
 Health, that I am obliged to state that I do not feel ]>hysically able 
 to undertake this task to which 1 have been looking forAvard with 
 pleasure during the entire ei)ideniic. 
 
 Thanking you for the courtesy of the Association regarding this 
 matter, I remain 
 
 Very truly yours,

 T)r. \t'al MiteheU, President Duval Comity Board of Health, City : 
 
 Deak Sik — Your favor of the 12th inst. is received, in which you 
 state that ill health will ][)revent the proposed history of the epi- 
 demic, from a medical standpoint, by yourself, as representative of 
 the Board of Health, in conjunction with the above Association. 
 
 There are some facts, however, that it will be almost necessary 
 for the Board of Health to furnish us in order to be authentic; such 
 as an official list of the white and colored deaths and cases of sick- 
 ness from the yellow fever, a condensed summary of the work ac- 
 complished in the hospitals and at the Bureau of Xurses and Medi- 
 cal Attention. Please advise me, at an early date, if I can depend 
 upon receiving from you such data as the above. 
 
 I regret that I shall not have such a co-laborer in the report as 
 you would make with better health, and more time, but as my share 
 of the rei)ort expands, I am inclined to envy you in being able to 
 postpone the day of evil.

 The Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association endeavored to 
 definitely ascertain, at the beginning of the epidemic, what assist- 
 ance was available, or could be made available, from Government 
 appropriations for measures of relief and assistance. 
 
 The Executive Committee received, in answer to its inquiries » 
 assurances from President Cleveland, from the Secretary of the 
 Treasury, from the Florida delegation in Congress, and from Sur- 
 geon-General John B. Hamilton, Marine Hospital Service, that 
 everything would be done for them that could properly be done
 
 rOMMITTEK ON <'ONFEREXCE. 161 
 
 within the limits of the restrictions imposed by tlie api^ropriations 
 themselves. The absence of precedents rendered General Hamilton 
 cautious in stating just what expenses the Government would as- 
 sume, and, with the exception of a requisition for Sanitary Supplies^ 
 such as lime, sulphur, etc., and the requisition for funds with which 
 to construct the huts nece.s.sary to establish Camp Mitchelli the ap- 
 proval of vouchers sent to "Washington was, from beginning to end, 
 a matter of conjecture, until decisive action was announced to the 
 Association by the receipt of a Treasury check, or the return of re- 
 jected vouchers. Surgeon-General Hamilton, however, as early as 
 the conference at Camp Perry, stated, generally, that the Govern- 
 ment would pay proper bills for sanitary work, sanitary supplies, 
 and sanitary police. Few vouchers sent on by the Association were 
 rejected. 
 
 Dr. J. Y. Porter, who assumed the supervision of Government 
 Relief Measures in Florida, api)roved all vouchers sent to Washing- 
 ton, and his familiarity with the routine of Government detail, was 
 of great service to the Association in directuig what could properly 
 be asked from the Government, and the detail clerical work to put 
 the reqnests in suitable form. 
 
 The Government, under recommendations of Surgeon-General 
 Hamilton and Dr. Porter, assumed payment of nurses, the direction 
 of the sanitary police, the control of the hospitals and the entire 
 work of disinfection. These matters are all mentioned in different 
 parts of this report, and further detail is superfluous. 
 
 It is a matter of regret that circumstances prevent an ofticial re- 
 port of all the work assumed by the Maiine Hospital Service in the 
 State during the epidemic. Such a report will undoubtedly be pre- 
 pared by the proper authorities in the near future, and it is, of 
 course, impossible for the Association to do more than show what 
 funds were advanced by it for the Government, and for what pui-- 
 poses. It may be seen from the body of the report, that at the out- 
 set there was some friction between the Executive Committee and 
 Surgeon-General Hamilton. It is gratifying to state that a better 
 personal acquaintance, and knowledge of the motives of the persons 
 directly interested did much to remove this state of affaus. On be- 
 half of the Association, it may be said that the members fully appre- 
 ciated the efforts made in their behalf by Government authorities, 
 and during the latter part of the epidemic the Association has noth- 
 ing but gratitude and commendation to express for the promptness 
 and effectiveness of measures adopted for their assistance. 
 
 Dr. Joseph V. Porter, the Surgeon in charge of Relief Measures,, 
 was on the ground, and by his executive ability, energy and tact, en- 
 deared himself to the people of Jacksonville, and the State, as may

 COMMITTEE ON CLAIMS. 
 
 TIu' woi'k of the Committee on f!l;um.s needs explanation more, 
 perhaps, than the work of any other eommittee of tlie Association. 
 The position of the Executive Committee and the Association, so 
 far as rehited to chiims for the destruction of proi)erty, was not gen- 
 erally understood at tlie outset, has never been ex])lained to the com- 
 px-ehension and satisfaction of the claimants and the public, and is 
 at this time misinLer])rete(l; and the exijerience of those directly in- 
 terested has been such that it seems too much to hope that this 
 article will clear away the clouds and lead to a general appreciation 
 of the motives that led to the formation of the Committee on Claims, 
 and to tlie results actually accomplislied. 
 
 On the 10th of August what was known as tlic " Mayflower 
 House," on the corner of Forsyth and Ocean streets, was destroyed, 
 with all its contents, upon the order of the Board of Health, and 
 under its supervisicm. The house was old, and was at the time con- 
 sidered a focal point of the fever. Neither tlu' house nor its contents 
 wei'c especially valuable, apparently, but the bills afterwards pre- 
 sented for property c-laimed to be stored and destroyed would indi- 
 cate that it was a very expensive building. Had the same house 
 been destroyed at a later date, much of its contents could have been 
 saved, but at the time it was done there was an intense i)opular de- 
 mand for the destruction of the building and contents, which was 
 acceded to by the authorities. 
 
 One part of the house was used by a person as a dye house, an- 
 other as a restaurant, and several persons lodged in the upper 
 stories, and a good deal of property was stored therein. The first 
 claim presented to the Executive Committee of the Association was 
 by the dyer for ])roperty alleged to be desti'oyed in this house. 
 On the 20th of August a special committee was appointed to inves- 
 tigate the claim and report. Two days later the special committee 
 was, upon motion, made a standing committee of the Association, 
 and the articles of association amended for that purpose, the com- 
 mittee consisting of P. E. McMurray, chairman; Clias. G. Elliott 
 and W. A. Macduff. Sei)tember 17th F. E. Bogue was transferred to 
 this committee from the Committee on Nurses and Medical Atten- 
 tion. Septeml)er ■i2d ("has. C Elliott died, and Peter Jones was ap- 
 pointed to fill his place. September 29th D. H. Kennedy, chairman 
 of the Finance Committee of the Duval County Board of Health, was 
 added to the committee, at the suggestion of the Board of Health, 
 to guard against imposition; to prevent the consideration and pay-
 
 164 COMMITTKE ON CLAIMS. 
 
 ment of the same claim by both tlie Board of Health and the Asso- 
 ciation. Such was the personnel of the committee, and its members 
 included practical men, whose business qualified them to appraise 
 property liable to be destroyed, and judge the necessities of the class 
 of jjeople who appeared as claimants. 
 
 The claim of the dyer, which was first considered, was allowed 
 and ijaid by the Association, upon careful consideration and earnest 
 discussion, after the prices atta(-hed to the several items had been 
 cut down materially. The vital question,in the payment of this and 
 other claims was, whether the executive officers of the Association 
 were justified in using the funds in their hands residting from local 
 subscriptions and foreign contributions, for the payment of property 
 destroyed by the authorities. 
 
 The Committee on Claims and the Executive Committee, by 
 whom all claims investigated by the Committee on Claims were 
 finally acted upon, took the position at this time that the Associa- 
 tion had not authorized the destruction of any property, and was 
 not in any way liable for the same, but that the Association, in spe- 
 cial cases, whei*e the destruction of infected material resulted in 
 destitution and distress, could very properly render assistance as a 
 measure of relief. 
 
 The experience of the Committee on Claims has been so unsat- 
 isfactory in the case of the "Mayflower Ilouse," that if the work 
 had to be done over again it is extremely probable that no claims of 
 the sort would be considered, even as a matter of relief. It may be 
 said right here, as a matter of general information, that, with the 
 excepticm of two or three instances of destruction of property, which 
 occurred at the very outset of the epidemic, through the negligence 
 and disobedience of some workmen employed by the Committee on 
 Sanitation in cleaning the city, neither the Association, nor any of 
 its committees, nor any of its officers, agents or servants have, at 
 any time, destroyed, or caused to be destroyed, any property. 
 Claims for infected property destroyed by order of the city authori- 
 ties or the Board of Health were presented to the Association 
 through the Executive Committee from the first, and on September 
 14th the applications before the Committee on Claims were so nu- 
 merous, and the demands upon the time of the committee and the 
 finances of the Association became so exorbitant and unreasonable 
 that the Executive Committee, at its meeting on September 1-tth, 
 passed the following resolution: 
 
 lif.sob-ed, That no bill will be ctnisidered or paid by the Execu- 
 tive Committee for goods oi' chattels destroyed, unless a certificate 
 from the President of the Board of Health is attached to the bill 
 authorizing the destruction of the proi)erty, and stating that such 
 goods or chattels could not be properly disinfected, and that the 
 amount of the bill be pro])erly sworn to.
 
 COMMITTKE ON CLAIMS. 165 
 
 Besolved, Tliat this resolution be published to the public, and 
 that a copy be coniniunicated to the Board of Health through the 
 Conference Committee. 
 
 The publication of the res()lution helped matters for a few days, 
 but on the 20th, to quote from the minutes: 
 
 Chairman ^fcMurray, of the Committee on Claims, called the 
 attenti(m of the Executive Committee to exorbitant claims being put 
 in for destruction of i)roperty, and suggested that persons having 
 <'laims should manifest a spirit of self-sacritice, and gave notice that 
 the committee would hereafter throw out all unreasonable claims. 
 
 And a few days later it became necessary to adopt still more 
 rigid rules for the protection of the committee, and the Executive 
 Committee passed the following resolution: 
 
 EeKob-cd, That all claims foi- destruction of bedding and cloth- 
 ing, by order of the IJoiird of Health, must be approved by Dr. 
 Echemendia, fumigating officer, and Dr. Xeal Mitchell, President of 
 the Board of Health, and attested bcft)re a proper officer, before the 
 same can be considered by the Committee on Claims. The secretary 
 was instructed to prepare blank affidavits. 
 
 Surgeon-General John B. Hamilton, M. H. S., had intimated 
 quite early in the epidemic his desire and intention to attempt a 
 thorough disinfection of Jack.stmville, which view was heartily ap- 
 proved by the local authorities. About October 9th Dr. Joseph Y. 
 Porter, Surgeon in Charge of Government Kelief Measures in Flor- 
 ida, transmitted to the Executive Comniittee of the Association an 
 official notification that the Government had determined to adopt 
 this recommendation, and disinfect the city. Dr. Porter enclosed 
 also a copy of a notice intended for publication, formulated by him, 
 for the information of the public, from which the following is 
 quoted : 
 
 DESriUCTION OF PKOPEKTY. 
 
 (1.) Mattresses, pillows, comforts and blankets, soiled by dejec- 
 tions from the sick to such an extent as to prevent their further use 
 by anyone else sick in the same house or family, should be destroyed 
 by burning at once, which destruction will be done at the request of 
 the owners by the Fumigating and Disinfecting Department of the 
 Government Aid Bureau, on application to me. The Government 
 will assume no pecuniary responsibility thereof. 
 
 Parties totally unable to sustain the loss of infected material of 
 the character above cited (referring to bedding and furniture im- 
 possible to disinfect), may expect to be reimbursed by the General 
 Government; but no receipt for the article stating the fact can at 
 present be given. 
 
 (2.) All applications for reimbur.sement for destruction of in- 
 fected material must first pass through the Committee on Claims of 
 the Citizens' Auxiliary Sanitary Association, fixing the valuation, 
 and particularly stating the question of impecuniosity of the owner, 
 before they caii be entertained by me and forwarded to the U. S. 
 Marine Hospital Bureau at Washington.
 
 166 COMMITTEE ON fLAIMS. 
 
 On the next day aftei- the receipt of the letter, President Neal 
 Mitchell, of the Dnval County Board of Health, called the attention 
 of the Executive f'onimittee to the rules, and suggested some objec- 
 tions, of which one was to the latter portion. A conference was 
 requested by the Executive Committee with the Board of Health 
 and Dr. Porter, and upon the report of the Conference Committee, 
 after discussion by the Executive Committee, the President was di- 
 rected to formulate and transmit the views of the Executive Com- 
 mittee, wliich he did as follows: 
 
 JACKSOXVII.LE, Fla., October 17, 1888. 
 Joseph Y. Porter, M. I).. Xunjcon in Cfturi/e of Gorcrnnient Relief 
 Measurf'f), City : 
 
 Dear Sik: Your favor of the !>th inst. , with accompanying 
 copies of letter of instructions to Dr. DeM. Echemendia, Chief of 
 Disinfecting and Fumigating Staff, and copy of rules and regula- 
 tions relating to tlie subject of disinfection and fumigation, has been 
 duly received, and has had careful consideration by the Executive 
 Committee of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association to- 
 day, and l)elieving that yon desire an expression of their opinions 
 thereon, I am directed to communicate to you their views, and at 
 the same time to express tlieir confidence in your judgment and 
 ability to devise and exetuxte such measures as will exterminate the 
 germs of disease in this city, and prevent a visitation of this terrible 
 scourge another season. 
 
 As you already know, the tran.sfer of Dr. DeM. Echemendia and 
 his staff, and placing the disinfecting and fumigating of houses 
 where yellow fever has occurred to the Marine Hospital Service, was 
 advocated and approved by this committee. 
 
 "in regard to disinfection of houses." 
 Kules 1, 2 and 3 we fully concur in. 
 
 " DESTltUCTION OF PROPERTT." 
 
 Under tliis head tlie committee beg leave to make some sugges- 
 tions, which they hope will impress themselves favorably on you. 
 
 Rule 1. That instead of leaving it optional with the owner to 
 have "mattresses, pillows, comforts and blankets, soiled by dejec- 
 tions from the sick, so as to prevent their further use by anyone 
 else sick in the house," destroyed by l)urning at once, it should be 
 obligatory, as a means to prevent the spread of the infection, and 
 the owner paid a fair value for the jiroperty destroyed, out of Gov- 
 ernment funds. The grounds on which the committee base these 
 recommendations are: First. All citizens, with but few exceptions, 
 who had tlie means to leave sought safety in flight at the beginning 
 of the ejjidemic, and left their houses unoccupied. Those who re- 
 mained did so, generally speaking, because of want of means to go 
 away, and in their homes the scourge found its victims, and very 
 few of those peoi)le, indeed, are able to bear tlie loss of such jirop- 
 erty as you say should be destroyed. The Executive Committee 
 have felt it necessary to pay for jiroperty destroyed under similar 
 circumstances by Dr. DeM. Echemendia's staff', when under the di- 
 rection of the Board of Health, as a measure of relief to the owners, 
 to enable tliem to replace the necessities of living. Second. From 
 existing conditions, as above stated, there are so few able to bear
 
 OOMAriTTEK ON CLAIMS. 16T 
 
 the loss of such j>ioi)eity us slioukl be destroyed to prevent spread 
 of infection, that the committee believe it would be wise, nnd with- 
 in the scope of the law, for the Government to announce that it 
 would jiay for all property destroyed under your orders. Such ac- 
 tion would remove any danj>er of secretins- infected articles by the 
 owners, which, we fear, mi^ht ))e attempted by those unable to bear 
 the loss if otherwise. 
 
 Rule 2. In reference! to tliis lulc, i)rovidin<;' tliat a])i)lications to 
 the Government for reimliursement for destruction of infected ma- 
 terial should be referred to tlie Committet! on Claims of the Citi- 
 zens' Auxiliarj' Associaticm, the <;ommittee feels tliat, in view of the 
 fact tliat the work of disinfection and fumij-ation may require 
 montlis to c<>mi)lete after the end of this epidemic, and as the mem- 
 bers of tliat committee have- jiratuitously devoted their time and 
 services to tlie work duriii<; the e])idemic, and will l)e conii)e]led to 
 give their attention to their jfersonal interests as soon as business 
 can be resumed, that a comi)etent person shoulil be ap])ointed by 
 you as an appraiser for the Government, wlio siiouhl, in conjunction 
 with a representative of the owner of tlie property to be destroyed, 
 determine its value. And that a certificate for tlie i)roi)erty de- 
 stroyed be given to the owner. 
 
 I'. M(;Qi AID, 
 
 President. 
 
 Meantime the Committee on Claims struggled with claims of all 
 sorts and descriptions. In every case the (committee assumed the 
 right to cut down the jirices sworn to by the claimant, inasmuch as 
 the Association approved their payment only as a matter of relief, 
 and, at the same time, was obliged to adojit precautions to prevent 
 the beneficiaries from obtaining ad«litional relief from other com- 
 mittees of the Association. It seemed hard to the cjaimants to have 
 their claims cut down, but it was necessary in nearly every case. At 
 the outset much property was luinecessarily destroyed by the au- 
 tliorities, and later, when a regularly apjiointed Chief of Fumigating 
 Staff took charge of the matter of tlie destruction of infected arti- 
 cles, it became necessary to take care to distinguish between prop- 
 erty destroyed by him at the request of the owner and such proi)erty 
 as he destroyed, because, in his judgment, it could not be disin- 
 fected, and ought to be destroyed. About the middle of October 
 the matter of claims was brought to a crisis by the appearance of a 
 claimant before the Executive Committee, and his demand as a legal 
 right to payment of his claim, his refusal to accept the sum tlie Ex- 
 ecutive Committee, on the recommendation of the Committee on 
 Claims, thought reasonable, and his threat to sue for the full 
 amount. We quote from the minutes of the Exec-utive Committee a 
 few days later, on October 20th : 
 
 Resolved, That in future no claims for proi)erty destroyed be 
 paid by this committee. 
 
 This lesolution led to a full discussion of the right and expedi- 
 ency of this committee to exjiend funds in their hands for the pur-
 
 168 COJMMITTKE ON CLAIMS. 
 
 pose of remunerating people for destruction of propei'ty, in light of 
 the fact that neither the Executive Committee nor the Association 
 had caused property to be destroyed, and considering the number 
 and amount of claims. The resolution was then unanimously 
 adopted, it being understood that such action would not affect the 
 consideration of such claims as were ])roperly certified and sworn to 
 now on file before the committee. 
 
 The action of the committee was i)ublished, and for the time no 
 further consideration was paid to claims or claimants than was 
 necessary to dispose of remaining ones in one way or another. 
 
 On the 27th of October the Association issued a financial state- 
 ment, wdiich showed that the amount of money exi)ended in the pay- 
 ment of claims to date, "to afford immediate relief," aggregated 
 $3,666.27. 
 
 On the 24tli inst. the matter of Government i)ayment for proi)- 
 erty destroyed was renewed by a letter from Dr. Porter: 
 
 JACK.SONVILLE, Fi^A., October 24, 1888. 
 To the President Jurksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association, Jack- 
 sonville, Fla.: 
 
 My Dear Sir : I herewith enclose you ofHcial copies of tele- 
 graphic correspondence between General Hamilton and myself since 
 the 20th inst. Very truly,

 Jacksonville, Fla., October 20, 1888. 
 To Hamilton, Snrr/eon-General, Washington: 
 
 In conference with authorities, everything regarding disinfec- 
 tion and fumigation of houses arranged, except destruction of prop- 
 erty. If Government will not assume to pay for infected material 
 destroyed, such as mattresses and pillows, irrespective of ability to 
 incur loss, I am afraid of secretion of fomites. As expense of de- 
 struction of mattresses and pillows will not exceed, probably, fifteen 
 or twenty thousand dollars, I recommend that you autiiorize me to 
 state that the Government will pay for articles ordered destroyed by 
 me. I wire, as authorities desire immediate information. Please 
 answer at once. Porter. 
 
 Washington, D. C, October 20, 1888. 
 Dr. Joseph. T. Porter, in Charge Government Belief Measures, Jack-

 I cannot decide matter of payment for articles to be destroyed 
 without submitting it to tlie President. Will answer Monday.

 Washington, D. C, 23d, 
 Dr. Jos. Y. Porter, in Charge Government Relief Measures, Jackson- 
 ville, Fla.: 
 Your authority to keep refugees out of Jacksonville must come 
 from the (Jity Council. With such autliority you need nothing 
 further from the Government. In regard to disinfection of bedding,
 
 COMMITTEE ON CLAIMS. 169 
 
 Government only proposes to pay for destruction of mattresses, pil- 
 lows and comforts destroyed in the houses of the jioor. Persons 
 able to pay must sustain tlieir own loss. City Council should pass 
 ordinance enactin<i' penalty for concealment of infected articles in 
 houses. The use of the public laundry and disinfection building 
 will be free. Carpets need not be destroyed, but should be sub- 
 jected to steam i)rocess. 
 
 Hamiltox, 
 Surgeon-Cieneral. 
 
 By this time public discussion was quite general and unanimous. 
 October 2.5th the City (\)uncil adopted the following resolution: 
 
 lie.solved, That we insist that the General Government shall pay 
 for all property destroyed by order of Surgeon Porter, and that the 
 same shall l>e i)aid for in full, or rei>laced by the Government, with- 
 out regard to the financial condition of the owners of the property 
 .so destroyed. 
 
 Xo further action was taken by the Association until November 
 flth, when the following letter was received from Major J. H. Dur- 
 kee, chairman of the New York Committee: 
 
 New Yokk, November !», 18SS. 
 P. McQuaid, Chairman, Jacksonville: 
 
 What is the ])resent condition of alfairs in relation to fumiga- 
 tion and destruction of bedding at the close t)f the epidemic? Have 
 the city government and the National anthorities agreed ui)on apian 
 of operation '? Can we render any assistance in the premises '? 
 
 Joseph H. Durkee, 
 
 Chairman. 
 
 Jacksonvii-ee, Fla., November 10, 1888. 
 Major J. II. Diirkf'c, C/iairiuaii, 391 Broadway, New York City : 
 
 Dear Sik— In reference to your telegram of Oth inst., asking 
 for the present ct)ndition of affairs relative to fumigating and disin- 
 fection and destruction of bedding, etc., I wired you fully to-day, 
 that the Government would only consent to pay for property de- 
 stroyed where the parties were too poor to bear the loss, and that 
 there was a danger of some parties secreting infected bedding, be- 
 <'ause of the uncertainty of getting paid for it if destroyed. And, 
 further, that Surgeon-General Hamilton had advised Dr. Porter that 
 the City Council should pass an ordinance fixing the penalty for 
 hiding or concealing infected articles. 
 
 Now, I believe both Dr. Porter and Surgeon-General Hamilton 
 are fully impressed with the advisability of the Government agree- 
 ing to pay for all bedding that it is deemed necessary to destroy. I 
 have written Dr. Porter very fully on this subject some time ago, 
 and I think he jiresented the views of our committee to the Surgeon- 
 General. 
 
 I took this ground, that nearly all our citizens who had the 
 means to go away left at the beginning of the epidemic, and tlieir 
 houses have been closed up since; that the victims of yellow fever 
 were to be found in the houses of those who remained, and it is 
 there the infected bedding is to be found. Consequently, the loss 
 falls nearly altogether on those who ware unable to get away for
 
 170 < 0:SIMITTEE ox ( LAI.MS. 
 
 want of means. Tliere are a few, of course, mIio are aV)le to bear 
 the loss, but the percentage is so small, perhaps not over ten per- 
 cent, of the whole, that to make any condition or distinction would 
 necessarily make it uncertain who would be i>aid and who would 
 not, as it wc)uld be a very delicate question to determine who could, 
 stand the loss and who were not able to. 
 
 I i)resented this mattei- to Dr. Porter in this shape, .and showed 
 him how expedient it was to remove all doubts from the minds of 
 the people on this point, and that the additional cost to the Govern- 
 ment would be so insignificant that it was scarcely worth while con- 
 sidering. If people were assured that they would get paid for theii' 
 profjerty there would be no inducement to conceal it, and it is the- 
 only way, in my ojanion, to x)revent some peoi)le from hiding it 
 away. And when yuu come to consider it in the proi)er light it is- 
 but natural. Those families who have liad the yellow fever do not 
 dread any evil effects from retaining tlieir infected bedding. Tlie- 
 destruetion of it is for tlie ])rotection and benelit of otliers, and they 
 do not see why they should l)e called upon to incur a loss for the 
 benefit of somebody else, and there is some reason in this argument. 
 The fact is, it is the most important matter we now have to considei,. 
 to clean out every germ of this disease that might propagate it next 
 summer, and it is in the interest of the inter-state commerce of the 
 United States to see that no expense or lahor is spared to gain this 
 end. 
 
 Surg"eon-(Teneral Hamilton has intimated to Dr. Porter tliat if 
 the City Touncil does not pass an ordinance providing a penalty 
 for the secreting of infected bedding, etc., tliat the (Tovernment will 
 not umlertake the W(.)rk of fumigation and disinfection of the city.. 
 Now, I feel (piite certain tliat such an ordinance cannot be passed 
 by the City f\)un(il until tlie Government will agree to pay for all 
 l>roperty destroyed. If the Government will do that then I have no 
 doubt the <"ity Council can be gotten to i)ass such an ordinance. 
 Dr. P(nter has been fully autliorized by the City Council and the 
 Board of Health to enter liouses and do tlie work of fumigation and 
 disinfecting, but it has been decitled not to commence this work 
 until afte)' the epidemic has ende<l. I have liad many talks with Dr.. 
 Porter on this subject. He is tlu' riglit man in tlie right place, ami 
 wants to see everything ilone tlwit it is possible to do to jirevent a 
 recurrence of this terrible scourge next season. He has a reputation 
 at stake, and I feel sure lie will not undertake to disinfect the city 
 luiless he gets the proper sui)i)ort and assiuan<e that he can do it 
 thoroughly. The local authorities here will aid him all they can,, 
 and the only stumbling block now in the way is tliis (piestion about 
 paying for jiropeity destroyed, and it is not a big thing, after alL 
 Dr. Porter says it is only necessary to destroy mattresses, pillows 
 and comforters; that blankets, sheets and other bedding can be 
 properly disinfected. I tliink tlie Surgeon-General, if he had the 
 authority, would assume the resi)onsibility of paying for any prop- 
 erty destroyed by Dr. Porter, but 1 luulerstand the President has. 
 decided that the Government could only pay for that destroyed for 
 the poor. I tliouglit that if some one who could lay the matter 
 jjlaiuly before the I'resident woidd call ujion him, that he would see 
 the advisability of clianging his order, and I think you are the very 
 man to do it. There is no time to be lost. Everything ouglit to be 
 ready to go to work just as soon as the epidemic is over, and, with 
 indications to-night of cold weatlier, we hope tlie end is almost at
 
 COMAtlTTEE OX CLAIMS. 171 
 
 hand. Now, if you could j^o to Washington, see the Surgeon-General 
 and get his views on the suT)ject, and liave him go with you to the 
 President, I think you niiglit be able to get this matter fixed. I 
 think it is at least worth the trial.

 A special committee of .lacksonville citizens in New York, in

 Dkak Sii! — .Vcting ui)()n the reiiuest contained in your letter 
 Messrs. Hubbard. AnihU-j-. Stockton, Christoiilier and myself went 
 to Washington, and on .Monday morning had a conference with 
 Surgeon-General Hamilton in lelation to the destruction of infected 
 bedding antl i)aynient tiierefor by the General Government. Senator 
 Call accompanied us, and after a lengthy conference witli tlie Sur- 
 geon-General we visited Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, 
 Thomp.son, with whom Surgeon-General Hamilton liad ineviously 
 liad conferen<t!S upon tliis question. Afterwards we called upon 
 the Presi(U'nt at tiu- Wliite House, and liad a long interview witli 
 liim uixiii this subject. Tlie result lias already been commuincated 
 to Acting ^layor Gerow, and I jnesunie l»y tlie time tliis letter 
 readies you the whole matter will liave been delinitely arranged. 
 
 We were received with tlie utmost cordiality by all the officials 
 whom we visited, and the action taken by them is, as J understand it, 
 what you have desired. It is understood that the same orders will 
 cover all infected districts in Florida. Wliat regulations may l)e made 
 with regard to communities outside of .Facksoiiville. I have no means 
 r)f knowing. 1 am convinci'd tliat tliis action on the part of the 
 General (ioveinmeiit will do mii(di to restore conlideiice in Florida 
 on tlie i)art of those desiring to visit the State the coming winter. 
 It is a matter of congratulatimi for all the ])eople of Florida that the 
 Government authorities have considereil this subject in such a lib- 
 eral and broad-minded view. I hope the result may be that we may 
 escape the contagion during the next season. 
 
 Very truly yours, 
 
 .lOSKl'II H. DriJKKK, 
 
 Chairman Committee. 
 
 The result was anMounced by telegraph, tlirough the press, a day 
 or two earlier, and was received with universal approJ>ation and 
 gratitude. The result was due in great measure to the efforts of Dr. 
 Joseph Y. Porter and Surgeon-General Hamilton and the favorable 
 action of the New^ York pi^ess. This settled the matter satisfactorily 
 so far as property was concerned after the Government took charge 
 of disinfection, but the Association felt that there was a hardship 
 involved to the people who lost property before tliat time without

 compensation. On the 15th of December the foUowing communica- 
 tion was formulated under the direction of the Executive Com- 
 mittee: 
 
 Jacksonville, Fla, December 15, 1888. 
 Joseph Y. Porter, M. IJ., Surgeon in Charf/e Government Belief Meas- 
 ures, City : 
 Dear Sir — At the request of the Executive Committee, I beg 
 leave to ask yon to communicate with the proper autliorities and 
 advise me wliether the recent action of the authorities assuming the 
 payment of all projierty destroyed for purposes of disinfection, will 
 aft'ectin any way the status of claims heretofore paid by this Asso- 
 ciation for property destroyed under and by direction of the Duval 
 County lioard *of Health. This Association has paid a number of 
 claims, aggregating say four or five thousand dollars, for property 
 destroyed ))efore the (late at which the Government assumed full 
 direction of the destruction of such property under your supervision, 
 and therefore before the date at which the Government assumed 
 payment for all property destroyed. There are, likewise, a great 
 many claims which have not been acted vipon at all for property 
 destroyed in a similar manner, but in which cases there was not 
 such urgency for immediate action as a matter of relief. The 
 amount of such claims would probably aggregate several thousand 
 dollars, not over .>;10,0()0, and as a matter of equity it would seem 
 that these people, most of whom have suffered liy the epidemic in 
 other ways, and cannot afford to lose the property, should be reim- 
 bursed, and placed on a similar footing with those citizens who are 
 now receiving proper payment for property actually destroyed under 
 your direction. I would say that the claims paid by this Associa- 
 tion have l)een paid only after careful consideration, and, in a great 
 majority of cases, have been scaled down considerably from the 
 prices asked by the several claimants, who, at the same time, have 
 signed affidavits to the justness of the claim and the reasonableness 
 of the prices, which affidavit, in almost all cases, has been supported 
 by a certificate of the President of the local Board of Health and the 
 Disinfecting Officer who destroyed the pro])erty under directions of 
 the Board of Health. The original claims are in this office, and it 
 will be a matter of some difficulty to have duplicate receipts made 
 out and signed by the claimants who received the money, but if the 
 authorities should consent to the payment of these claims 1 have no 
 doubt that tlie details could be satisfactorily arranged with you by 
 which the facts in each individual case could be sufficiently set forth, 
 by means of affidavits of the Secretai-y, or such other officer of the 
 Associatian as yon should suggest. 
 
 Kespectfully, 
 
 P. McQuAii), 
 
 President. 
 
 The answer was as follows: 
 
 December 28th, 1888. 
 Dr. Jose))h Y. Porter, Surgeon in Charye Government Belief Measures, 
 Jacksonville, Fla.: 
 Sill — In answer to your letter of December 17th, enclosing a 
 letter addressed to you by Mr. P. McQuaid, President of the Jack- 
 sonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association, you are informed that no
 
 COMMITTE?: OX CLAIMS. 173 
 
 claims that relate to articles destroyed prior to the date of the Gov- 
 ernment taking i-harge will be allowed. 
 
 Kespectfully yours, 
 
 John B. Hamilton, 
 
 Supervising Surgeon-General M. H. S. 
 
 Under these t-ircuiustances, the Executive Committee instructed 
 the Committee on Claims to carefully investigate all claims on file 
 in their office and also before the Board of Health, to cut down the 
 prices to the lowest figure possible, to confer with the claimants 
 individually w here practicable, and report the aggregate amf)unt to 
 them. The Committee on Claims employed an expert and followed 
 the instructions faithfully and systematically, and reported the 
 number and aggregate amount necessary to pay the same, to the 
 Executive Committee. The committee, after careful consideration, 
 determined to assume payment of the claims out of the surplus 
 funds in hand, and carefully went over each claim, in conjunction 
 with the Committee on Claims, and passed on them separately and 
 finally. The decision was arrive<l at only after mature delil)eration, 
 and was adopted because of the belief that otherwise no claims 
 would be paid except upon suit and recovery against the authorities. 
 
 The work of the committee included, besides the consideration 
 of claims for the destruction of property, action upon a few claims 
 for nursing ])rior to the establishment of the Bureau on Nurses 
 and Medical Attention, and in a few individual cases of nursing after 
 its establishment, when nurses had been engaged outside of the 
 Bureau, through ignorance of the rules, had performed faithful work 
 and were unable to receive any pay because of the poverty of the 
 patient. These claims really come within the jurisdiction of the 
 Committee on Nurses and Medical Attention, and are included in 
 the financial stsitement of that committee. 
 
 Such was the woi'k of the Committee on Claims and of the 
 Executive Committee in relation to destroyed property. 
 
 As said in the beginning, probably no committee has had a more 
 disagreeable task, and tlie work of no committee has been less 
 api)reciated.

 COMMITTED ON DUVAL COUNTY AT LARGE. 
 
 The ('t)iiimittee on Duval County at Laigt', of the Jacksonville 
 Auxiliary iSanitaiy Association, was (nganized on the ISth of Sej)- 
 tember, 1888, under the following resohitii>n: 
 
 Resolved, That an additional standing committee of three or live 
 members be appointed l)y the Chair, tt) be designated as the Com- 
 mittee on Duval County at Large, whose duty it shall be to have 
 charge of all villages and settlements in Duval county not infected 
 by the prevailing fever; to look after sanitary measures, quarantine 
 and relief; to audit all bills and accounts pertaining to its expendi- 
 tures; prescribe rules and regulations, and to take charge of all other 
 things they may deem necessary. 
 
 This committee, with objects as outlined above, was the out- 
 growth of necessity. It was found that Duval county, like most 
 other counties of the State, was a sufferer, not only from the yellow 
 fever directly, but indirectly from quarantine regulations. 
 
 The word "(quarantine" was used in a very broad sense, and 
 covered the regulations which forbade the stepping across an arbi- 
 trary line under penalty of a load of buckshot, as well as the frigid- 
 ity of manner and lack of communication that greeted the refugee 
 who occasionally dared ventiu-e into infected loc-alities. and had the 
 imprudence to return home. 
 
 As there were victims from the fever in other places in the 
 county than Jacksonville, so there wei-e innumerable sufferers from 
 quarantine. Business was utterly prostrated, and the residents or 
 representatives from all over the county continually came before the 
 Executive Committee for physicians, nurses and drugs for the sick, 
 and ft)od or work for the well. 
 
 The P^xecutive Committee and the Committee on Relief found it 
 impossible to investigate thoroughly and relieve jiromptly the.se 
 cases — to sejiarate the wheat fiom the chaff. 
 
 The Committee on Duval County at Large was, therofore, organ- 
 ized with objects: First, to prevent the spread of infection in smaller 
 communities, and, as a means to that end, to put these places in good 
 sanitary condition; second, to render relief to the sick and indigent 
 inhabitants, by direct aid in food and money where necessary, but, 
 whenever practical, by jmlicious work of a ]>ublic and sanitary na- 
 ture. 
 
 The following gentlemen composed the committee: Hy. Robin- 
 son, Chairman; J. E. Hartridge and F. F. L'Engle, all of whom served 
 on the committee, and were efficiently assisted by Judge W. A. Mc- 
 I.,ean, until it was deemed i)rt)per, owing to the inadequacy of the 
 finances of the Association, to discontinvie the comniittee, on the last
 
 COAtMITTKK ON DIVAI, COUXTV AT l,AK<iE, 175 
 
 t)f October, 18SS. After this date all appeals for relief were referred 
 ©y the Executive Committee to the constituted county authorities. 
 
 In order to put the committee in working condition, the Execu- 
 tive Committee instructed the Committee on Relief, and the Com- 
 mittee on Xurses and Medical Attention, to liU all orders emanating 
 from the Committee on Duval County at Large. This committee 
 "was also authorized to lender, under prescribed limitations, pecuni- 
 ary relief when it was deemed desirable by the chairman. Active 
 steps were at once taken to carry out these measures. Such vil- 
 lages and resorts in Duval county as South Jacksonville, St. Nicho- 
 las, Chaseville. Arlington. Fulton. Mill Cove. Moncrief, Mayport and 
 Pablo Beach were put in proper sanitary condition. In the two sea- 
 ■side resorts, Pablo Beach and Mayjxirt, which were inhabited by a 
 large number of the active workers in the ei)idemic, a regular c(n"ps 
 of scavengers and sanitary guards were employed to keep them in a 
 healthy condition, and minimize the danger of infectif)n, under in- 
 struction of the Duval County Board of Healtli. t^uarantine was es- 
 tablished at these i)laces against .lacksonville. a census of jjopuiation 
 was taken, and daily inspection of i)remises was made. At Panama, 
 Moncrief, Chaseville. St. Nicholas, Three-Mile Branch, Fishweir, and 
 at other parts of the county, large gangs of laborers were emjiloyed 
 ns a means of relief, and worked on the public highways, on roads 
 beyond the city limits. When this was impracticable, orders for ra- 
 tions were given on tlie commissary of the Committee on Relief, and 
 pecuniiiry aid w;is furnished whenever such steps were deemed justi- 
 fiable. 
 
 The results of tlie labors of this committee were, on the wliole, 
 beneficial to the pul)lic. Roads were improved, swamps drained, and 
 the spread of the pest controlled in several noticeable cases, particu- 
 larly so as to Mayport and Pablo Beach. No fever originated in 
 those places during the \vlu)le epidemic. Daily intercourse existed, 
 under carefully guarded restrictions, between Jacksonville and Pablo 
 Beach and Mayjjort. At Mandarin :i complete non-intencuirse quar- 
 antine was established. On the other hand, Panama, South Jack- 
 sonville, Chaseville and other points, where no such restrictions 
 were practicable, the fever got a foothold and sjjread rapidly. 
 
 The committee expended, from funds of Duval county, .i!2,250.

 PURCHASING AND RECEIVING AGENT. 
 
 During the first part of tlie epidemic .supi)lies were ordered by 
 the Executive Committee direct, or through sub-cominittees of the 
 Association. Tlie cliairman of these committees were provided witli 
 distinctive order books, and supplies purchased, upon arrival, were 
 consigned to the committee ordering the same, donations of supplier 
 being apportioned as seemed best at the time. Expei'ience proved 
 that this method tended to confusion, and that the several chairmen 
 had their hands full to properly transact the routine business of the 
 departments under their charge. 
 
 On September 17th provision was made for a Purcliasing and Re- 
 ceiving Agent, by the adoption by the Executive Committee of the 
 following resolution: 
 
 liesolved, That a Purchasing and Keceiving xAgent be appointed 
 to canvass the several committees and report each morning the 
 needed supplies, and establish a depot of supplies to receive and dis- 
 tribute the same. 
 
 Mr. F. W. Mumby was appointed Purchasing Agent, and he im- 
 mediately secured the large warehovise of W. P. Clyde & Co. for the 
 free use of the Association, and employed necessary help. Mr. 
 Mumby, each morning, reported to the Executive Committee what 
 was needed in the way of supplies, and was authorized to purchase 
 them, and on arrival of goods checked them up, stored the goods in 
 the warehouse, and approved the l>ills, which were audited and paid 
 by the Executive Committee, and charged to the account of General 
 Supplies. The Purchasing Agent supplied the several departments^ 
 and committees from the supply depot, and charged them accord- 
 ingly, bringing in his accounts each week for the examination of the 
 Executive Committee, after which the charges against tlie depart- 
 ments were transferred to the books of the Association, and credited 
 to the General Supplies. Donations of supplies were received by the 
 Purchasing Agent, their value appraised and charged to General Sup- 
 plies, and, when distributed, they were entered on the books in a 
 similar manner. 
 
 The Purchasing Agent was instructed by the Executive Commit- 
 tee, at the outset, to purchase all goods possible in the city, when he 
 could get them at good prices, but the committee felt, in handling- 
 trust funds, it would not be justified in favoring local merchants, 
 even to insure the general benefits which would inevitably result 
 from retaining the funds in circulation.
 
 I'l RCHASINO AXI) RECEIVIXCt A(iEXT. 177 
 
 Mr. ]\Iuinby, in his report, states the case as follows: 
 
 In taking hold of the work I w'as instructed by your committee 
 to get an estimate of supplies needed by the different departments, 
 and, as the stocks in the city were much depleted, was instructed to 
 wire tlie New York Committee to supply it in weekly shipments; 
 but as soon as 1 began to get posted on j) rices, and found a willing- 
 ness on the part of the merchants, whose stores wer-j ojjen, to sup- 
 ply the Association, I began buying what I could in Jacksonville, 
 and toward the middle and last of the time, purchased nearly every- 
 tliing from our own merchants. 
 
 I found, at once, that the transportation companies would bring 
 goods for the Association from the St. Louis market free, and such 
 articles as grits, meal and dour being largely governed in price by 
 the cost of transportation, I found it cheaper to buy them from the 
 mills at St. Louis, thus saving some sixty cents per barrel in freight 
 alone. In the beginning it was necessary to obtain a large (piantity 
 of bacon rpiickly, and. in order to get a start, I bought fifty boxes in 
 New York, but found afterwards that I could buy bacon in Savan- 
 nah cheaper, and that the transportation was quicker and more sat- 
 isfactory, and I continued to punhase it in the latter market until 
 the close of the epidemic. 
 
 All the transportation companies were exceedingly accommo- 
 dating, especially the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway, which 
 system, in addition to free transportation, was kind enough to trans- 
 fer car-loads to our warehouse free of charge. 
 
 The list of merchants fui-nishing supplies, given in the Appen- 
 dix, is a matter of considerable real interest, to show the relative 
 purchases from foreign and local merchants. It may be said, in pa- 
 renthesis, that some of the largest sellers anujng the local merchants 
 liave been the keenest critics of the work of the Association and Ex- 
 ecutive Committee tliroughout. 
 
 The General Supj^ly Department was closed during tlie first of 
 December. Most of the supplies on hand, consisting of flour, grits, 
 meal and lard, were sold by competitive bids to tlie merchants at an 
 advance of cost, the remaining supplies being stored and auctioned 
 off later. 
 
 In winding n\> the business of the (Jencral Supi)ly Department, 
 the Purchasing Agent recjuestcd, from several of tlie transportation 
 companies, a memoraiidum of the amount of free transportation 
 handled for the Association. The following letters are quoted here, 
 as the bulk of the transportation furnished was in relation to this de- 
 partment. It is a matter of regret that returns from other transpor- 
 tation companies were not secured :

 COMMITTEE ON SANITARY POLICE. 
 
 The Committee on Sanitary Police was organized August 20tli, 
 by the Association, in accordance with the following preamble and 
 resolutions : 
 
 WiiEKEAS, The Board of Health and the city authorities have 
 invoked the co-operation of this Association to enforce the prompt 
 and proper observance of sanitary rules, and to organize sanitary po- 
 lice, under the supervision and control of the Association, for guard- 
 ing infected places, and persons under surveillance during the incu- 
 bational period prescribed by the Board of Health, and have dele- 
 gated to the Association the needed powers therefor; and 
 
 WiiEisEAS, This Association is heartily and earnestly in accord 
 with the Board of Health in all its objects and aims, and believe 
 that it is actuated alone by a sincere desire to prevent the si)read of 
 the infection and disease, and to establish the public health ; there- 
 fore, be it 
 
 Eesolved, That Article X be amended by having added to it a 
 Committee on Sanitary Police. 
 
 The action of the Association was officially endorsed by the 
 Board of Health on the same day.

 At a meeting of the Board of Health of Duval County, held to- 
 day, the following resolutions were adopted: 
 
 Re^nlrcd^ That, in view of the impossibility for this body to ef- 
 fectually provide for such administrative details as are connected 
 with their responsibilities, this Board accepts, most gratefully, the 
 proffer of the Executive Committee of the Citizens' Auxiliary Sani- 
 tary Association, to organize a special sanitary guard to assist in 
 guarding the sick and infected, and also, in connection with this, a 
 bureau, to supply the needed food for the same, all to be under the 
 advisory direction of this Board. 
 
 Be.solrei], That the Auxiliary Committee is hereby empowered 
 with full authority from this Board of Health, and from the consti- 
 tuted powers of the city, to institute and execute this work.

 An Ordinance to Empo\ver the Mayor to Appoint Sanitary Guards, 
 
 and to Prescribe IJules and Regulations to Govern Same. 
 Jie it or(hiineil hi/ the Cifi/ ('oniii-il of Hip Citi/ of JarkxunviUe : 
 
 Skctiox 1. That, during the prevalence of yellow fever in our 
 city, there shall be appointed by the Mayor as many sanitary guards, 
 for the protection of citizens and the prevention (jf the spread of the 
 disease, as the ilayor may deem proper; said guards to be under 
 such rules and regulations as the Mayor may prescribe.

 On the 23d of August M. P. Turner was appointed chairman of 
 the committee, and immediately went to work with a will, selecting 
 suitable men, opening headtjuarters and jiroviding a guard-house. 
 Rules were prescribed for the proper discipline of the police. 
 
 About September 10th Chairman Turner was obliged to leave 
 town, and Judge M. M. Belisario was placed in charge of the guard, 
 as acting chairman, and was instructed to detail certain men to daily 
 inspect houses in town, to relieve any sick persons who might be un- 
 able to summon assistance otherwise. 
 
 September 17th Lieutenant C. W. Stansell was elected chairman 
 of the committee. The guard was increased, at the same time, by 
 the advice of Dr. .T. Y. Porter, Surgeon in charge of Government Re- 
 lief Measures, and orders given to arrest all persons entering the city 
 for purposes of relief. 
 
 The United States Government, through Dr. J. Y. Porter, the

 COMMITTEE OX SANITARY TO I -ICE. 
 
 Surgeon in cliarge of Government Kelief Measures, acting under di- 
 rection of tlie Marine Hospital Service, assumed at first the payment 
 of all guards employed. In a short time it was found necessary to- 
 make a division of the jjay rolls. Such guards as were engaged in 
 duties tending "to prevent the sjjread of infection" were continued 
 on the Government pay roll, and the remaining guards, who were 
 employed in i)olice duties under tlie direction of tlie Board of Health, 
 were paid by the Association. 
 
 Some guards were stationed at Soutli .lacksonville, by request of 
 tlie people there, and paid by the Government until sucli time as the 
 suburb became seriously infected, when they were removed. 
 
 October 12th Eugene B. McBride was appointed chairman, in i>lace 
 of C. W. Stansell resigned. 
 
 The following table shows tlic number of names on tlie different 
 pay rolls, the amount paid in each division, and by wliom paid, from

 The first six columns in the al)ove table do not sliow the number 
 of guards continuously employed for each week, but give the number 
 of names on the several pay rolls for each period. Many of the men 
 performed only a few days' work each week, and in some instances 
 one i^erson would be counted twice, as where guards were discharged 
 from one duty and re-enlisted in another division where their ser- 
 vices were needed. When guards did not report for duty on account 
 of sickness or for other reasons, new men were employed, which 
 fact aided in swelling the list of names, and it was the custom of the 
 committee to eini)loy only sucli number of persons for such limited 
 time as tlie special duty to be performed required. 
 
 The amount of money expended each Aveek for the pay-roll 
 approximately shows the number of guards continuously employed 
 for that time. 
 
 Onthe22d of September a cordon of mounted guai-dswas placed 
 around the city, extending from a point on the St. Johns river one 
 mile north of Wilson it Hunting's mill, westward and southward to-
 
 COMMITTKK OX SAXITAKY roLICK. 1 SS 
 
 a point one quarter of a mile south of Riverside, thence crossing tlie 
 river and enconii)assing South Jacksonville, on the south hank of 
 the river; hut on the 1st of October the cordon guard was dis- 
 mounted and continued as foot guards. 
 
 The establishment of the cordon enabled the committee to dis- 
 pense with the services of many guards in the city, and on the ■2d of 
 October more city guards were discliarged; this, with the change 
 from mounted to foot guards on the cordon makes the number of 
 men whose names were on the ditterent i)ay-roUs (juite large, although 
 the amount exi)ended that week is not much more than that of the 
 previous week or subsecjuent week. 
 
 The compensation of the mounted guards was $1 .")() per watch 
 of eight hours, ami the pay of the foot guards, including foot cordcm 
 and city guards, was $1 per watch of eiglit hours; three relays of 
 guards were necessary to cover the i)eriod of one day. 
 
 The Executive Committee consulted fretiuently with the Board 
 of Health and Dr. Porter as to the details of the organization. The 
 wishes of the Surgeon in Charge of Government Relief Measures 
 were always followed, as the men were mostly paid by the Govern- 
 ment. On the 10th of October the guards enrolled upon the Govern- 
 ment pay-roll were turned over to the exclusive control of Dr. 
 Porter and the remaining guards <lismissed, their places being filled 
 by special police api)ointed by tlie city authorities. 
 
 The Association continued to advance necessary amounts of 
 pay-roll on account of the (Jovcrnment, but was icimbuised the full 
 amount in due timt;. 
 
 The practical utility of the Sanitary Police, generally, was 
 hardly so great as was anticipated; although, in some i*espects, it 
 was efficient and satisfactory. Diiiiculty was experienced in finding 
 intelligent, responsible men for guard duty, and in spite of constant 
 effort, some annoyance was caused by this fact. 
 
 The incidental expenses of the Committee, from its creation to 
 the end, were paid by the Association, as, also, such few guards 
 as were necessary after the lOtli of October, since which date no 
 regular time-keeper was employed, but the bills for guards, and 
 accounts due by the Committee, were audited by the chairman, and 
 paid in the usual manner.

 COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION. 
 
 The Association, through the Executive Committee, at a very 
 ■early day, i-ealizecl tlie desirability of depopulating the city, and 
 thus diminishing the material for the fever. It was found difficult 
 to estimate the number <:)f people left in the city, and the proportion 
 of them able and willing to leave, if arrangements could be made for 
 so doing. 
 
 COMMITTEE OX CENSUS AND DEPOPULATIOX. 
 
 After some preliminary discussion, the Acting President an- 
 nounced, on September 4th, to the Executive Committee, the ap- 
 pointment of C. W. Stansell Chief of Bui-eau of Census, with suffi- 
 cient help to make a house-to-house inspection, to ascertain the 
 number of persons here, and their special wants; whether they de- 
 sired to leave the city, if proper arrangements could be made for 
 them. The chairman of the Committee reported, the next day, 
 that the Committee had divided the city into thirteen districts, with 
 a man in charge of each district, and sixty canvassers. The census 
 was i)ushed with all possible speed, and a few days later the follow- 
 ing report was submitted: 
 
 Total number of adults, white 2,889 
 
 Total number of children, white 1,056 
 
 Total number of adults, colored 6,377 
 
 Total number of children, colored o,435 
 
 Total number of white 3,94.5 
 
 Total number of colored 9,812 
 
 Total numl)er of people in city 13,757 
 
 Total number of people willing to leave the city 1,491 
 
 Total number of people unwilling to leave the city 10,375 
 
 Total number will go to camp 297 
 
 Total number of peoi)le who refused to say whether they 
 
 would go or not 1,644 
 
 Total number of people with means 3,365 
 
 Total number of people without means 8,995 
 
 Total number of people who refused to say whether they have 
 
 means or not 139 
 
 The census was taken carefully, but the total number of popula- 
 tion was undoubtedly too low, and 16,000 was nearer the actual 
 number of inhabitants in the city, as subsequent events clearly 
 demonstrated. 
 
 SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON TKANSPORTATION. 
 
 On September Sth a special committee was appointed to take 
 charge of the whole matter of arranging transportation of people
 
 COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION. 185 
 
 who desired to leave the city, consisting of Messrs. F. II. Osborne, 
 D. T. Gerow, and C. W. Stansell. 
 
 The committee at once went actively to work, and relieved the 
 Executive Committee, which had theretofore attended to transpor- 
 tation matters, with the helji of members of the Association, of a 
 heavy burden of detail and responsibility. 
 
 Three days later, the work of the Committee on Depopulation 
 having been completed, it was decided to consolidate the Commit- 
 tees on Depopulation and Transportation, under the name of the 
 Committee on Transportation, consisting of the following members: 
 F. K. Osborne, chairman; C. W. Stansell, D. T. Gerow, E. B. Mc- 
 Bride, and B. H. Hopkins. 
 
 On September 15th, Messrs. McBride and Stansell were trans- 
 ferred to the Committee on Sanitary Police, their places being filled on 
 the Committee on Transportation by Messrs. T. J. Boyd and W. F, 
 Coachman, who were appointed on the 18th. On the 25th of Sep- 
 tember, special work for the committee having arisen in the estab- 
 lishment of a baggage fumigating station, under the Marine Hospital 
 Service, owing to sickness in Mr. Osborne's family, which neces- 
 sitated his absence, Mr. H. W. Clark was appointed a member of the 
 committee, and at the request of Mr. Osborne, acted as chairman 
 until October 22d, when he was made permanent chairman. On 
 September 25th, Mr. W. F. Sollee was employed as Secretary, and 
 rendered faithful service to the Committee. 
 
 The work of the Committee on Transportation began immedi- 
 ately after its organization, in connection with the special trains to 
 Atlanta and Henders(mville, N. C, which are described at length in 
 the chapter upon State and Interstate Quarantine. This committee 
 made the arrangements for the excursions, kept the public informed 
 of progress made, and svijierintended the transportation details. 
 
 On the 5th of October the Executive Committee of the Associa- 
 tion, realizing that all Atlantic seaports, notably Savannah and 
 Charleston, were locked against, not only Jacksonville, but the 
 whole of Florida, and, impressed with the seriousness of the situa- 
 tion to all of South and East Florida, in view of the early ripening of 
 the orange crop, passed the following resolution : 
 
 Be-^olced, That the chairman of the Committee on Transporta- 
 tion be requested to communicate with the Clyde and DeBary lines 
 of steamships, with a view of making practical arrangements for the 
 transportation of fruit from the interior counties, via Mayport, or 
 otherwise, as shall be expedient, provided the outlet through Savan- 
 nah is found to be closed to our people. 
 
 The subject was promptly handled, and the same day the Acting 
 ■Chairman opened te]egTai:)hic and mail correspondence with Messrs. 
 W. P. Clyde & Co., at New York, looking to the end in view. Be- 
 tween the dates of 3d and 17th of October, through the public spirit
 
 186 COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION. 
 
 and faith in our city and State, on the part of Messrs. Clyde & Co.^ 
 and Mr. Geo. Cecil, Manager DeBary Line of Steamers, arrangements^ 
 were made for a weekly service between New York and Mayport, at 
 the mouth of the St. Johns River, by the steamships of tlie Clyde 
 Line, connecting at the latter point with steamers of the DeBary, 
 Beach & Miller, and other lines, for Sanford and all other points on 
 the river. The committee was authorized to aimounce the opening 
 of transportation, and mailed the following circular to all orange 
 growers and newspapers in the State : 
 
 Office of Transportation Committp:p:, ^ 
 
 .Jacksonville AiTxiLiA:Ry Sanitary Association, 1

 Jacksonville, Fla., October 26, 1888. J 
 
 Dear Sir: 
 
 The undersigned desire to inform you that the Citizens' Aux- 
 iliary Sanitary Association of Jacksonville, Fla., wliose organization 
 and subsequent work has been to co-operate with the regular author- 
 ities in relieving the various forms of distress arising in our city and 
 State, by reason of the yellow fever epidemic through whicli we are 
 still passing, at a recent meeting had under discussion the subject of 
 local quarantines and embargoes against freights, and the fact that 
 the usual outlets by water and (at tliat time) rail for northern mar- 
 kets were practically closed to South and East Florida (notably Sa- 
 vannah, Fernandina and Jacksonville. ) 
 
 A full recognition of the gravity of this question to the orange 
 growers of our State was evoked, and a resolution was passed in- 
 structing the Transportation Committee of the Association to at 
 once open communication with the managers of the Clyde Steam- 
 ship Line at New York, and the manager of the DeBary Line of St. 
 Johns River Steamers, to see if the former could be induced to be- 
 gin at once running a weekly steamer between Xew York and May- 
 port, at the mouth of the St. Johns River, to connect at the latter 
 place with one of tlie DeBary boats from up-river points, which 
 steamer would pass Jacksonville in mid-stream without stopping. 
 
 Tiie following telegram from Messrs. W. P. Clyde & Co. gives 
 the successful result of negotiations with tliis popular steamship 
 line, and will certainly prove gratifying news to the orange shippers 
 of South and East Flori<la, as it assures tliem of water transporta- 
 tion for their fruit to the Nortli, probably a month earlier than they 
 could have otherwise expected : 
 
 New York, October 22, 1888. 
 H. ]}'. Clark, Chairman Transportation Committee, Jacksonville, Fla.:: 
 
 Complying with the suggestion of your previous telegram, we 
 have, until our Jacksonville service can be resumed, arranged for a 
 direct weekly service between Xew York and Mayport, Fla., com- 
 mencing from here on November 10th; returning, leave Mayport on 
 the 16th. We practically concur with the views in your letter of the 
 17th. Will answer fully by to-night's mail. 
 
 W. P. Clyde & Co. 
 
 We trust tliese steamers may receive practical evidence of ap- 
 preciation for their public spirited action. 
 
 The F. R. & N. Co., through its connections, is moving fruit

 daily with its usual promptness. In addition to this, the manage- 
 ment of the J., T. & K. W. R'y have recently constructed a Y con- 
 nection with the S., F. & W. R'y, about four miles from this citj', so 
 that freight from the south, passing north, does not enter Jackson- 
 ville or any infected point, and thus secures uninterrupted rail 
 transportation Xorth or West. 
 
 The end sought to be obtained by the Jacksonville Auxiliary 
 Association, in the intei'est of the fruit and vegetable growers of 
 Florida, was facilities for fruit transportation, which would be had 
 if no epidemic existed, and at this season the normal condition of 
 business prevailed. The end is practically accomplished, for you 
 have the option of water or rail transportation. The first Clyde 
 steamship sails from Mayport, November Ifith, for New York. The 
 railroads offer opportunities daily. 
 
 Vei-y respectfully, 
 
 H. W. C'j.ARK, Chairman.

 Camp Mitchell, a place of refuge built by the Association in 
 furtherance of the plan for depopulating Jacksonville, being ready 
 for occupancy, it devolved upon the Committee on Transportation 
 to get our citizens out of the city and into the camp. Hundreds of 
 people fouiul a refuge there, and all, as a prerequisite, received a 
 certificate of health from the Duval County Board of Health, which 
 became a ticket of admission, after being signed by the chairman of 
 the Committee on Transportation. All baggage of persons for this 
 camp or for Camp Perry quarantine station was first brought to the 
 headquarters of the Committee on Transportation, at 75 West Bay 
 street, where receipts were given, and it was forwarded to the fumi- 
 gating station. As an indication of the care and system exercised, 
 it is appropriate to state that, although during the operation of this 
 portion of the work nearly 8,000 pieces of baggage (trunks and 
 valises), infected and otherwise, were receipted for, not a single 
 package was lost. 
 
 Probably the greatest and most telling relief work done by this 
 committee was the return of the nurses and physicians to their 
 homes in other States wlien the epidemic was drawing to a close. 
 There were engaged in the city at one time several hundred visiting 
 nurses, male and female, whose homes \\ere located in States from 
 Minnesota to New York, on the north, to points in our own State of 
 Florida. As the need for the services of the nurses decreased they 
 naturally desired to return to their homes. The obstacles in the 
 way of accomplishing this were manifold. The Boards of Health of 
 cities and counties were positive in their determination to keep out
 
 188 COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORT ATIOX. 
 
 everything and everybody hailing from Jacksonville, while some 
 places would allow them to come in after fifteen days' quarantine at 
 Camp Perry. Some intermediate points prohibited them from 
 passing through their territory for twenty days, and others would 
 not allow them to pass through at all until after frost. Circuitous 
 routes had, then, to be adopted for transportation, after necessary 
 quarantine had been served. Frequently, after repeated correspond- 
 ence by telegraph and mail, the lines would apparently be clear, and 
 a party of ten to fifteen nurses ready to start, but some Health 
 Board, through whose jurisdiction they would have to pass, in a 
 brief telegram, would positively forbid trains to carry those " in- 
 fected people" through their territory. 
 
 An important item in the matter of transi^ortation for these 
 nurses was the cost of transportation. It will readily be seen that 
 the ordinary fare f<^r so many people on long distance tickets would 
 approximate ."jilOiOOO to §12,000, and at that time the funds of the As- 
 sociation were nearly exhausted. It was, therefore, desirable for the 
 committee to accomplish its object as economically as possible, and, 
 through the generous co-operation of nearly all the prominent rail- 
 road lines to whom they applied, they were enabled to do so. After 
 a correspondence, covering several weeks in October, with the chief 
 officials of these companies, their consent was obtained to transport 
 free all returning yellow fever nurses who had been serving at Jack- 
 sonville. The "Certificate of Transportation" was a form drawn 
 up by the committee and submitted to the managers of the various 
 lines for their appi-oval. The certificates, bearing the name of the 
 nurse, when signed by the chairman of the Committee on Transpor- 
 tation, and countersigned by the Surgeon rn charge of Camp Perry, 
 United States Quarantine Station, served as a pass over nearly 12,- 
 000 miles of railroad and three hundred and sixty miles of steamship 
 lines. 
 
 Another labor which devolved upon the Committee on Transpor- 
 tation for many weeks was providing and paying for the transporta- 
 tion of many refugees to points of safety in distant States, in cases 
 where the individual was unacclimated,-and, after due investigation, 
 was found to be without personal means. 
 
 This brief history would be incomplete without suitable exjjres- 
 sion of ai)preciation for the great kindness of several of the promi- 
 nent railway companies. Besides furnishing free transportation for 
 nurses over its entire system, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor- 
 gia Railroad granted the use of its commodious office, without charge, 
 as the headquarters of the committee. The Savannah, Florida and 
 Western Railway, through Mr. W. P. Hardee, General Freight and 
 Passenger Agent, not only obtained free transportation for nurses 
 over the entire Plant System, but assisted the committee in securing
 
 COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORT ATIOX. 189 
 
 it from connecting lines. Captain D. E. Maxwell, Superintendent of 
 the Florida Kailway and Navigation Companj', supplied special re- 
 lief trains at actual cost rates, and furnished, free of expense, four of 
 their cars for the fumigating station. 
 
 At a meeting of the Committee on Transi>ortatiou, held Decem- 
 ber 21st, 1888, resolutions of appreciation of and thanks for the ser- 
 vices rendered by the various transportation lines, and the Western 
 Union Telegraph Company, were passed, which were later submitted 
 and approved by the Executive Committee, and the following circu- 
 lar letter was prepared for sending to the several officials represent- 
 ing those comi^anies : 
 
 Jacksonville, Fla., December 21, 1888. 
 Dear Sir: 
 
 The undersigned. Committee on Transportation of the Citizens' 
 Auxiliary Sanitary Association of Jacksonville, Florida, under 
 whose supervision was secured the transportation to their homes of 
 physicians and nurses who served through the late terrible yellow 
 fever epidemic in this city, appreciating most earnestly the great 
 practical aid afforded our people by the various lines hereinafter 
 named, in bringing to us and returning to their homes, these hu- 
 mane and very important factors in our fight against the fever, at a 
 meeting, held this day, passed unanimously the following preamble 
 and resolutions: 
 
 WiiEKEAs, Near the close of the late epidemic of yellow fever 
 in this city, it became evident that soon there would be several hun- 
 dred volunteer nurses and physicians to be returned to their homes 
 in States covering nearly a'l i)arts of the Union; and 
 
 Whereas, To facilitate our people in doing this, the transpor- 
 tation lines throughout the country, at our request, consented to 
 pass these people free, upon certificates properly signed by this com- 
 mittee, thus saving to the (at that time) fast decreasing relief fund 
 in the hands of the Association many thousands of dollars, therefore, 
 
 Resolved, That the grateful thanks of tlie people of Jacksonville 
 be expressed, through this committee, to the large-hearted officials 
 of these lines, from whom so much consideration and practical bene- 
 fit have been received. 
 
 liesolred. That these resolutions be piinted in the Daily Times- 
 Union and Metropolis, of this city, and that marked copies thereof 
 be mailed to the officials of these lines, from whom we have received 
 this kindness, viz: The S., F. A: W. Ky.; C. & S. liy. ; B. & W. Rv. ;

 190 COMMITTEE ON TKAXSPORTATION. 
 
 The following extract from the minutes of the Jacksonville Aux- 
 iliary Sanitary Association, at its meeting of Decemher 26, 1888, af- 
 fords a recapitulation of the work of the Committee on Transporta- 
 tion, as stated by the chairman: 
 
 First — Secui'ing the sending out of the special Government train 
 with refugees to Hendersonville, N. C, and also a special train to 
 Atlanta, Ga. 
 
 Second — Providing subsequently and paying for transportation 
 for nearly one hundred of our people to points in distant States. 
 
 Third — Securing special trains for relief of Sanderson, Mac- 
 clenny, Fernandina and other points, at different times. 
 
 Fourth — Rendering active assistance in fitting up and establish- 
 ing the Government baggage fumigation station at LaVilla Junction. 
 
 Fifth — Assisting in peopling and certifying to the fitness of 
 applicants for refuge at Camp Mitchell, and supplying free tickets 
 to said camp. 
 
 Sixth — Procuring free transportation for about two hundred and 
 fifty nurses returning to their homes in nearly everj^ part of the 
 Union, together with some of the visiting physicians. 
 
 Seventh — Procuring the opening of sea communication with the 
 North for the benefit of Florida shippers, when Savannah, Charleston 
 and other ports were locked against us, by inducing the Clyde Line 
 to send their steamships weekly to Mayport. 
 
 Eighth — Receiving and transporting to the fumigating station 
 baggage of all persons leaving the city after the establisliment of

 Ninth — At the close of the epidemic corresponding with the 
 officials of various trunk lines of railroad, with a view of obtaining 
 reduced rates for returning refugees, which action was partially 
 successful, but, being too late to afford practical relief, was aban- 
 doned, witli thanks to lines which had returned favorable answers.

 As soon as the epidemic was declai-ed in Jacksonville, the Gov- 
 ernment, State and local authorities recognized that the depopula- 
 tion of the city was the only sure method of checking the fever. 
 
 It was not necessary to employ any extraordinary measures to 
 impress this view upon some of the residents of the city. Several 
 thousand people left the city cheerfully, without urging, but there 
 remained thousands who could not or would not leave their homes 
 and friends. Very soon the Executive Committee took the matter 
 in hand, and, after consultation, decided to make a camp of refuge 
 near the city, where such persons as have been referred to could be 
 made comfortable and be taken care of at a minimum cost. 
 
 The committee put itself in communication with Surgeon-General 
 Hamilton and Governor E. A. Perry, and found the idea was heartily 
 endorsed by these gentlemen. 
 
 A location was sekcted about two miles beyond the limits of the 
 city, in "North .Jacksonville," on the borders of Moncrief creek, 
 and the chairman of the Committee on Relief, Judge Loton M. 
 Jones, was charged with the duty of establishing the camp, which 
 was called Camp Howard. Some thirty tents were secured from the 
 State and Government after much delay and trouble, on account of 
 transportation and quarantine regulations, the ground was cleared 
 and a kitchen and outbuildings erected. The camp, for some reason, 
 •did not become popular, and, in spite of the efforts made to induce 
 people to go there. Camp Howard at no time had a population of 
 over fifty souls. 
 
 The location vvas upon high pine land, just north of and beyond 
 the Sand Hills Hospital, good water was available and substantial 
 food was provided by the Association, and the camp was in charge 
 of a superintendent with a steward and suitable assistants. 
 
 There was no way of forcing people to go to the camp, however, 
 and in the latter part of October Camp Howard was abandoned, and 
 its inmates transferred to Camp Mitchell. 
 
 CAMP MITCHELL. 
 
 During the correspondence with Governor E. A. Perry, relative 
 to securing tents for the establishment of refugee camps, the Gov- 
 ernor suggested to the Executive Committee the expediency of build- 
 ing a camp of a more permanent nature, by the erection of small 
 wooden buikiirgs. Tl:e «.( mii.ittce had cih^cusstd the practicability

 of a camp of this nature before, and as soon as they found it impos- 
 sible to secure tents in sufficient quantities, and were also advised 
 that Government funds had been made available, the committee de- 
 cided to attempt the establishment of such a camp. 
 
 Outside of the advantages of a camp of the sort, in the way of 
 comfort and permanency, there were other reasons for such action,, 
 which are, perhaps, as pointedly stated as i>ossible in the following: 
 telegram : 
 
 Jacksonvillk, August 27, 1888. 
 Hon. ]Vllki)ison Call, Washinyton, IJ. C: 
 
 Keplying to your telegram of yesterday, I ask that the Govern- 
 ment aid us in establishing a camp of relief near the city. If we 
 had the means we can quickly erect two or three hundred small 
 temporary buildings which will accommodate many of our helpless 
 people, and relieve the situation greatly. The erection of these 
 buildings will give employment to mechanics and laborers, and en- 
 courage the mills to continue running. There are other ways in 
 which the Government can aid us, if so inclined. Please advise me 
 as to the channels through which Government aid is to be sought, 
 and the methods by which it is to be furnished. 
 
 J. .J. Daniel, 
 
 Chairman. 
 
 The Florida delegation in Washington acted promptly and effect- 
 ively, and Surgeon-General Hamilton, the next day, asked by wire 
 information as to the number of houses, the estimated cost, and 
 what arrangements for policing could be made. The required infor- 
 mation was promptly furnished, and, on August 80th, the following 
 dispatch was received : 
 
 Washington, D. C, August oO, 1888. 
 Hon. J. J. Daniel, Jacksonville : 
 
 Two hundred houses authorized, at a cost of one hundred dollars, 
 each. Total cost, two thousand dollars. 
 
 Hamilton, 
 Surgeon-General. 
 
 The Executive Committee acknowledged the receipt of the mes- 
 sage, at the same time calling attention to the mistake in the total es- 
 timate, and prepared to act promptly. A special committee, consisting: 
 of H. A. L'Engle and W. A. Macduff, was appointed at once to locate 
 a site for the cami), and to take immediate steps for the construction 
 of houses. The first location was situated on Trout Creek, on the 
 Fernandina Division of the Florida Kailway and Navigation Com- 
 pany, northeast of Jacksonville. This was found to be impractica- 
 ble, and a site was finally selected on the same railroad, seven miles 
 west of the city, and forty acres of land purchased for the same; and, 
 upon recommendation of the chairman of the Special Committee, the 
 camp was named in honor of the President of Duval Coimty Board 
 of Health.
 
 CAMPS OF REFUGE. 193 
 
 The committee were instructed to survey and lay out the camp, 
 to arrange for lumber and transportation, and the erection of houses, 
 at once. Unavoidable delay ensued in carrying out these details, 
 however, and to other drawbacks was added unusually bad weather, 
 so that the camp was not ready for occupancy until the first part of 
 October. 
 
 The Executive Committee againiised every effort to induce peo- 
 ple to leave the city. A census, which is given elsewhere, had been 
 taken to this end, and the Committee on Relief, aided by the Com- 
 mittee on Transportation, and the Coloi-ed Auxiliary Bureau, urged 
 the people to go to the camp. Captain W. C. Cooper, who was in 
 New York at the outbreak of the epidemic, was placed in charge as 
 Superintendent, and the camp was, under his supervision, put in 
 good shape for the reception of refugees. Houses were furnished 
 with cots, bedding and other necessary articles; a kitchen and hos- 
 pital were erected, and substantial, well-cooked food i^rovided. Ow- 
 ing to the lateness of the season, however, and the unwillingness of 
 people to leave the city, the benefits accruing from the establish- 
 ment of Camp Mitchell were not so apparent and satisfactory as was 
 lioped at the outset. ■ It was found that some people had gone to the 
 camp who were able to pay expenses, and the Executive Committee 
 discussed the proper restrictions to be placed upon applications, 
 several times. The great object in the establishment of the camp 
 was to provide an asylum, beyond reach of infection, for persons 
 unable to go to points of refuge at greater distance, and so relieve 
 the city of material upon which the fever could feed, and at the 
 same time economically provide relief for the indigent. The Com- 
 mittee at (me time decided to require persons at Camp Mitchell who 
 were able to pay expenses to do so, but upon representation of the 
 Committee on Transportation, and other committees which had been 
 especially active in getting people to go into camp, this action was 
 reversed, and on October 30th, the following rules were adopted: 
 
 Only those persons who come under the classification, herein- 
 after mentioned, will be received and maintained at Camp Mitchell : 
 
 First — Those who have not had yellow fever. 
 
 Second — Those who have had yellow fever, and who, being with- 
 out available means of support, would be proper subjects of relief, 
 if remaininir in the city. 
 
 Ap])lioations for certificates, or recommendation, should be made 
 to either Dr. Xeal Mitchell, Dr. A. W. Knight, or to Dr. C. J. Ken- 
 worthy, and such certificates, when obtained, must be submitted to 
 H. W. Clark, Esq., chairman of the (Committee on Transportation, 
 whose approval and endorsement will be necessary to make them 
 available at Camp Mitchell, and for transportation. Mr. Clark will 
 carefully consider and determine whether the applicant is entitled 
 to the privileges of the camp, under the adopted rules. 
 
 These rules go into effect October 2'>, and are not retroactive.
 
 194 CAMPS OF UEFUGK. 
 
 The following extracts from the final report of Captain Cooper 
 the Superintendent in charge, are quoted: 
 
 According to my books the number of refugees ariiving liere 
 from the 1st of October to the 15th of December (when quarantine 
 was officially raised), and for whom food and shelter were provided, 
 was four liundred and ten, including children, the sexes being .about 
 equally divided. I am glad to report that the general health of 
 these peoi)le during their three months compulsory residence in 
 this camp was remarkably good. Very little sickness was, at any 
 time, observable. Onlj' one death occurred, that of a little girl who 
 had contracted disease elsewhere. T'ure air, good food and water, 
 excellent sanitary arrangements, and a laiulable desire on the part 
 of the refugees to make the best of their unusual surroundings, were, 
 undoubtedly, the factors producing the happy result. As an incen- 
 tive to occupy the mind and while away spare time. Dr. Xeal Mitchell 
 very thoughtfully contributed a number of books from the pens of 
 standard authors, to which more were added by Mrs. Emma Jeffreys, 
 and others at present unknown, thus forming a nucleus for an ex- 
 cellent library. It was highly appi-eciated and freely jiatronized by 
 old and yovuig, and contributed, in no small degree, to the sto(!k of 
 general information desired by some, besides diverting tlie thoughts 
 of many from the sad bereavements that made their sojourn in this 
 camj) a necessity. Enough talent was also found to warrant the giv- 
 ing of pul)lic entertainments occasionally, wliicli were always en- 
 joyed by a large and attentive audience. 
 
 To sum up, permit me to say that, as a healthful resort and tem- 
 porary refuge for those whose means or inclination ]trevent them 
 from going far from home in an emergency, such as our afflicted 
 community has experienced, Camp Mitchell can no longer be re- 
 garded as an experiment. 
 
 I have also to report that the two liundred dwellings and out- 
 houses ccmiprising this camp have been recently whitewashed, and 
 are in good condition; and that walks, ten feet wide, have been 
 made around each house, in order to afford am])le ]»rotection from 
 fire. 
 
 Camp Mitchell was closed Decemlier 1-"), the date that refugees 
 were admitted to the city. 
 
 The question of the final disposition of the camp was discussed 
 by the Executive Committee, and the following letter was formulated 
 and sent Dr. Porter:

 Will the Government wish to take the title to the land and reim- 
 burse this Association for the consideration upon which it was pur- 
 chased, and also assume the payment of the articles there, or will 
 the Government permit this Association to take the title to the prop- 
 erty as legal owners? 1 would say that the necessary preliminaries 
 have heen arranged to legally incorporate the Association, and it can 
 be put in position to ])roperly assume the title at a very short notice, 
 but no deeds whatever have as yet i)assed for the property. Under 
 the circumstances an early reply will greatly oblige,

 STATE AND INTER-STATE QUARANTINE. 
 
 PLACES OF KEFUGE. 
 
 A short chapter of this report is devoted to the subject of local 
 and State quarantine, as matter of information to the general public. 
 Care has been taken to present facts only, without elaboration or 
 inference. 
 
 The hardships rendered necessary by quarantine restrictions are 
 usually excused on the ground of public policy; the greatest good 
 to the greatest number; the suffering of a few for the protection of 
 the public. The problem for the Government and State and local au- 
 thorities of all localities liable to infectious disease of any character 
 is to afford such reasonable relief and comfort to the few as will not 
 endanger the health of the public. 
 
 Observers of the facts developed in any crisis like the yelhnv 
 fever epidemic of 1888 will find that "quarantine regulations" 
 sometimes are quoted to cover a multitude of sins — unkindness,. 
 selfishness, cruelty, hardship, exjiusure, starvation, death. 
 
 The authorities at Jacksonville constantly and consistently 
 endeavored to protect the personal and material interests of her 
 citizens, by furnishing an outlet for her surplus population, by 
 attempting to keep up her commerce, but does not the record also 
 show this natural desire was coupled with a reasonable care for the 
 rights of others? Transportation North was sought tor refugees to 
 points in the mountains where it was believed infection could not 
 spread, and transportation South was attempted for such articles as 
 Avere believed not liable to carry infection. The following brief 
 statement of the most important matters involving quarantine regu- 
 lations, so far as related to Jacksonville and her authorities, is given 
 as information and as a basis for future discvission and action. 
 
 August !) — Upon the same day that the Board of Health an- 
 nounced yellow fever in Jacksonville, quarantine was declared by 
 Fernandina, Tallahassee, Palatka and St. Augustine, in the State^ 
 and by Savannah, Charleston and Mobile. Macon, Ga., was the only 
 point heard from that day wliich offered a refuge, but on the next 
 day Atlanta joined Macon in extending hospitalities, and this an- 
 nouncement was received with heartfelt gratitude by the panic- 
 stricken people seeking an outlet from Jacksonville. Waycross, 
 Thomasville, Brunswick, Montgomeiy and Wilmington (piai-antined,. 
 however, and Jacksonville felt the cordon grow tighter about her. 
 On the 11th Macon reconsidered and withdrew her invitation to- 
 refugees, and the local papers and citizens devoted less time to the 
 praise of the generosity and hospitality of that city.
 
 STATE AND IXTER-STATE ^UARAXTIXE. 197 
 
 August 12^ — Starke, Hiolilaiul, Lawtey, Temple and Hampton, 
 Fla., quarantined. Surgeon-General John B. Hamilton, M. H. S., 
 visited Waycross, and, besides establishing fumigating stations for 
 mail, baggage and express matter near Waycross, decided upon a 
 camp of detention at Boulogne. The location was about thirty-six 
 miles from Jacksonville, on the Savannah, Florida and Western 
 Railway, and the name of Camp Perry was afterward given the 
 «amp. Tents were ordered by Surgeon-General Hamilton to be sent 
 there, and other preparations made. 
 
 New Berlin was heard from August 13th, as follows: 
 
 Xkw Bkki.ix, Fi.a., August 13, 1888. 
 To the Editor of the Tunes-l''nion : 
 
 We beg space to notify the public that the citizens of this place 
 have temporarily incorporated it a town, established a Board of 
 Health and declared a quarantine against Jacksonville and all other 
 points where yellow fever is known to exist. Dame's Point and 
 South Berlin have joined with us in this movement.

 As an evidence of the early hospitality of some communities, 
 the following copies of telegrams are inserted: 
 
 Mont Eagle, Tenn., August 11, 1888. 
 Mayor of Jacksonville : 
 
 Send all that want to come to this mountain resort.

 No quarantine. Tell your people Gainesville gives cordial wel- 
 come to all who come. In your affliction you have our sympathy. 
 
 Jno. a. Smith, 
 
 Mayor. 
 
 Atlanta, Ga., August 13, 1888. 
 Hon. Mayor, Jacksonville, Fla.: 
 
 Esteemed Sir— I have been attending the Gubernatorial Con- 
 vention, and for several days visiting in the country. In conse- 
 quence thereof, to-day, for the first time, I was apprised of your dire 
 calamity, and was surprised and grieved thereat. And when I read 
 of your people fleeing from the plague, with officers moving them 
 on, denying them, in many places, a home of refuge, I am moved to 
 write you, to say to your people that I welcome them to DuPont, 
 feeling assured that my people will gladly share with them their ter- 
 rible trouble. I conceive that a man's first and highest duty is 
 to his God and fellow-man, to the alienation of their sorrows, and 
 aiding in the preservation of life and property. This is humanity's 
 duty. I am sure the people of DuPont are willing to suffer with the 
 people of Jacksonville, and if, in opening our town to them, the dis- 
 ease is there spread, that they are willing, in doing their duty, die 
 with them. At any rate, we are not willing to shut our doors against
 
 198 STATE AND INTER-STATE QUARANTINE. 
 
 you, with the command, "Move on! " I liave quantities of lumber 
 that they can use to construct temporary shelter, and if more is 
 needed, we will supply it. And I am satisfied the pure water and 
 air, for which DuPont is celebrated, will add strength and health to- 
 your afflicted. I shall leave for home to-night, and if I can serve you 
 in DuPont, or as a nui-se in your city, command me. 
 
 With sentiments of sorrow for your calamity, believe me, sin- 
 cerely, 
 
 Augustus DuPont, 
 
 Mayor.

 The following extract from an editorial in the Times-Union,, 
 of August 17th, expresses the feeling of Jacksonville at that time: 
 
 MONTICELLO'S LATCn-STRING. 
 
 Jacksonville has become accustomed to quarantines against her. 
 She is haidened to this sort of thing. The announcement that this 
 or that town or city has built up another Chinese wall before her 
 face, and bade her back to her own reservation, conies now without 
 a pang. We do not think any the less of them for it; this is human 
 nature, and we must respect it. But, occasionally, from out this 
 mountainous mass of barred gates there comes a cheering note of 
 hospitality, and we welcome it as much as Noah, the navigator, did 
 the return of the dove. 
 
 It is our wish to place upon the brow of Monticello the laurel 
 wreath for hospitality among all her sister cities of Florida. Years 
 ago she opened her homes — and her people their hearts — to the refu- 
 gees from scourge-stricken Fernandina, and that act has never beeii 
 forgotten. Now she bids the i)eople of Jacksonville welcome, and 
 hundreds of them are to-day hospitably housed and cared for in her 
 homes. The hotels, boarding-houses and private residences are 
 •filled to overflowing, and the self-sacrificing hospitality evinced by 
 scores of these good people deserves unstinted commendation. 
 
 It may be said that shortly after tliis publication Monticello also 
 quarantined. 
 
 Among the difficulties attendant upon the epidemic, not the 
 least annoying and serious was the delay in forwarding mails, caused 
 by the enormous amount of mail matter wliich had to be fumigated 
 at Waycross, Ga. The telegraph opei-ators were overworked, and 
 the mail service was depended upon for general information. The 
 Executive Committee took the matter in hand, in connection with
 
 STATE AND IXTER-STATK QrARAXTINK. 190 
 
 Postmaster Clark, and, on the Hth of August, a telegram from Sur- 
 geon-General Hamilton announced his approval of a fumigating sta- 
 tion at LaVilla Junction, near Jacksonville, as soon as it was in 
 working order. 
 
 While refugees from Jacksonville were thus restricted from go- 
 ing to points West and Xorth, merchandise of nearly every descrip- 
 tion was refused Ijy the local authorities in southern counties of the 
 State, and the commerce of Jacksonville was nearly cut otf. The 
 authorities in some counties went so far as to refuse even to admit 
 machinery, wagon wheels, railroad iron, grate hars, silver dollars 
 and ice. 
 
 Representatives of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Associa- 
 tion and the Duval County Board of Health lield a conference at 
 Green Cove Springs, Fla., as early as August Hth, with rei)resenta- 
 tives of Putnam county, in the endeavor to modify the stringent 
 quarantine regulations, with some temporary promise of success. 
 
 To recur to passenger quarantine, the Executive Committee of 
 the Association learned that the authorities of (ieorgia and other 
 States were bringing pressure to bear to compel detention at Camp 
 Perry of all refugees from infected points, and adopted a strong res- 
 olution of protest, and instructed the President to communicate with 
 the Representatives in Washington. The following telegram was 
 sent, therefore, to the members of the Florida delegation: 
 
 Jacksonville, Fla., August 27, 1SS8. 
 It is reported that the authorities contemplate subjecting refu- 
 gees from Jacksonville to quarantine detention, without regard to 
 destination. Our committee consider such course unprecedented, 
 H?i?K'ce.s.sar// and iNifiMANE. Please get Florida's delegation to com- 
 municate with Surgeon-General Hamilton, and let us know what or- 
 ders have been made, and what are c()ntemplated. Surely some ar- 
 rangement can be effected by which our helpless women and children 
 may be carried, with closed cars and guarilefl, if necessary, beyond 
 the limits of local quarantine to places of refuge in altitudes and lati- 
 tudes where no risk to others will be involved, and where they are 
 hospitably invited to come. 
 
 J. J. Daniel, 
 
 Chairman. 
 
 The next day the following telegram was received from Surgeon- 
 General Hamilton : 
 
 Washington, D. C, August 28, 1888. 
 Hon. J. J, Daniel, JucksonrlUe, Fla.: 
 
 The Florida delegation here this morning in consultation con- 
 cerning subject matter of your dispatch. 
 
 ******** 
 I advise that as many as can conveniently leave Jacksonville should 
 go to Camp Perry, where they will be comfortable, and from that 
 point proceed North, without further detention — ten days from date 
 of arrival. What points in mountains will receive persons? Will
 
 200 STATE AND IXTER-STATE (JUARAXTIXi:. 
 
 try to make arrangements for people to get away to some place 
 where there is no danger of infection, but persons cannot mingle 
 with other passengers without creating panic along whole route. 
 
 Hamti/fox, 
 Surgeon-General. 
 
 In the meantime strenuous exertions had been made to obtain a 
 conference of the health authoriiies of the several counties in the 
 State, by the President of the Association and the Executive Com- 
 mittee. It had been found by exjierience that little could be hoped 
 from such a conference, unless a general attendance could be se- 
 cured, and, after much delay and several postjionements, a confer- 
 ence was held at Orange Park, August 28th. Perhaps no better idea 
 of the different opinions regarding local quarantine can be had than 
 to print, in full, the report of the Jacksonville delegation in the 
 newspajjers : 
 
 On behalf of the special committee appointed to confer on quar- 
 antine matters with the Boards of Health of various counties in East 
 and South Florida, and the representatives of the transportation 
 lines interested, I beg to report that the conference arranged for 
 through you was held at Orange Park, Tuesday morning, the follow- 
 ing counties being represented: Clay, Putnam, Marion, Lake, Volu- 
 sia, Orange, Osceola, Polk, St. Johns and Duval. Alachua county was 
 invited to this conference, but was unrepresented. Several of the 
 ■counties were represented by two or more members of their Boards 
 of Health. I regret that I am not able to give the names of all the 
 members present, but think it proper to say that they were leading 
 and representative men of their respective counties. Duval county 
 was represented by Col. J. J. Daniel, as president of the Citizens' 
 Auxiliary Sanitary Association; Dr. Daniel, member of the Duval 
 County Board of Health ; Alderman Gerow, president of the City 
 Council, and Messrs. P. E. McMurray and P. McQuaid, members of 
 the Conference Committee. The transportation lines represented 
 were the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Railroad, South Florida 
 Eailroad, St. Augustine and Palatka Railroad, and DeBary Line of 
 Steamers. The Florida Southern and Florida Railway and Naviga- 
 tion Company, and Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Halifax River 
 Railroad were also invited, but had no representatives at the meet- 
 ing. 
 
 We are indebted to the courtesy of the Jacksonville, Tampa and 
 Key West Railway Company for furnishing a special train to carry 
 us to Orange Park, where we arrived at 8 o'clock, and found all the 
 other delegates to the conference awaiting us. We were at once con- 
 ducted to a beautiful spring and grove, a short distance from the 
 railroad, where the meeting was held. Colonel Daniel, in a brief 
 address, stated the object of the conference, and assured the dele- 
 gates present that, while we considered Jacksonville rather harshly 
 treated by the rigid quarantine imposed against her, we came to dis- 
 cuss the subject with them in a friendly spirit, and from a broader 
 standpoint than any local interests. He wished them to know that 
 we did not come to ask any favors, but that we had some rights in- 
 volved too, and that, while they were guarding themselves so rigidly 
 from any infection from the north, we would like to know what steps 
 they had taken to protect us from further infection from infected

 points south. He called their attention to the inhuman quarantine 
 instituted at Waycross (by what authority he had not yet learned), 
 Avhich turned back the lielpless women and children of our stricken 
 city, to fall victims to the scourge, instead of allowing them to pass 
 on to a refuge of safety in the mountains. He earnestly hoped that 
 none of those ])resent would know from experience the ordeal the 
 citizens of Jacksonville are now undergoing, but they could not be 
 too sure, in view of the long period of warm weather yet to pass 
 through, and it therefore became necessary for us to come together 
 to secure such reasonable and humane regulations as are consistent 
 with entire safety, and will promote the best interests of all. He then 
 stated that he would like to hear frum the gentlemen present, repre- 
 senting the different Boards of Health, as they had conferred to- 
 gether, and we would like to know what course they had agreed 
 upon, and whether, in their opinion, it was necessarj' to exclude 
 from transportation all classes of freight from Jacksonville to avoid 
 danger of infection. 
 
 Dr. Cyrus, President of the Putnam County Board of Health, 
 said that, in order to proceed to business in due form, he would 
 nominate Col. J. J. Daniel as Chairman of the Ctmference, which 
 was agreed to unanimously. Mr. Widdell, of Orlando, was then ap- 
 pointed Secietary. 
 
 Dr. Gary, of Ocala, president of the Marion County Board of 
 Health, stated that he was also president of the Combination of 
 Counties, consisting of Putnam, Marion, Lake and Alachua, which 
 were unanimously of the opinion that it was necessary to rpiarantine 
 against all freights from Jacksonville to prevent danger of infection; 
 he thought corporations had no sovd, and he was unwilling to accept 
 any kind of freight in their quarantine ordei-, because he could not 
 trust the railroad ct)mpanies, and instanced two cars of freight, now- 
 lying at Tavares, which had been shipjied from Jacksonville, in defi- 
 ance of their quarantine. He stated that the people of his county 
 were so panic-stricken that they would not permit any goods from 
 Jacksonville to i)ass through Marion county, and he could not con- 
 sent to any modification of the present <piarantine: he said he was 
 the highest authority in the county, being Mayor of Ocala, President 
 of the Marion County Board of Health, and President of the Combi- 
 nation, and while not entertaining the same fear of infection from 
 freight frcjm Jacksonville, as the people of Marion county did, he 
 must decline to consider any modilication of the existing cjuarantine. 
 He thought "self-preservation was the first law of nature." He 
 designated Marion county as the Egypt of Florida, with her granaries 
 full to overflowing, and said that Ocala was capable of supplying all 
 the wants of the people of the southern part of the State, so that 
 there need be no fear of starvation, if they have the money to pay 
 for the goods. 
 
 Dr. Cyrus was the next speaker, and justified the action of his 
 Board in refusing to let Jacksonville freights pass through that 
 county to counties south of them, and also compelling Volusia and 
 Orange counties to prohibit tlie boats from Jacksonville landing any 
 freight in their counties, by stating that they felt such a course was 
 necessary for their own protection, because, if infection was brought 
 into those counties by freight from Jacksonville, they would be ex- 
 posed to danger. He disclaimed any feeling but that of sympathy 
 for Jacksonville, and said that our misfortune was a blow to Palatka; 
 that they had no wholesale houses there to meet the emergency
 
 202 STATK AXJJ IXTKK-STATE liL'AIJAXTIXE. 
 
 thrust upon them, and that, nu doubt, many inconveniences were ex- 
 perienced by the peoi^leof the counties south of them, who were now 
 unable to get their supplies from Jacksonville; but he thought it 
 better to suffer a little in that direction than to run any danger of in- 
 fection. 
 
 The representative of Lake County Board of Health said his county 
 was in the combination with the two counties preceding him, and he 
 entertained about the same views, in reference to a rigid quarantine,, 
 as they did. 
 
 Dr. Long, President of Volusia County Board of Health, said his 
 Board did not agree witli the Board of Putnam county, that such an 
 absolute quarantine against freights from Jacksonville was neces- 
 sary. He thought a certain class of goods should be prohibited, but 
 there could be no danger from such goods as were needed to feed 
 the people; yet, he said, they could not help themselves, as Putnam- 
 county threatened to quarantine against them if they did not i^ri)- 
 hibit the boat from Jacksonville landing in their county. They had 
 to do it, in order to keep an outlet to the Xorth open via Palatka and. 
 Gainesville. He said his county was, perhaps, differently situated 
 from some of the other ccninties, and tliey did not have so much fear 
 from infection. 
 
 Dr. Hicks, Secretary of the Orange County Board of Health, said 
 his county was very friendly to the people of Jacksonville, and did not 
 desire to quarantine against all classes of freight from our city, but 
 they, too, were forced to prohibit the boats from landing at Sanford,. 
 because Putnam county had threatened to quarantine them if they 
 did not, and actually did, until the boat was stopped. Dr. Hicks said 
 was reported in the Jacksonville papers that Mr. Blake, who was- 
 taken with yellow fever shortly after he came to Jacksonville, had 
 come from Orlando, and that he furnished our Board of Health proof, 
 that he had not been in Orlando for fourteen days prior to his com- 
 ing to Jacksonville, and requested that publication be nnxde of the 
 fact, so as to relieve Orlando from any possible suspicion of infec- 
 tion, and he felt aggrieved that such publications had not been made.. 
 
 Dr. Daniel, from the Duval County Board of Health, said that 
 he had been a member of the board for a short time only, and he 
 knew nothing of the facts, Imt that it had never been charged that 
 Mr. Blake liad contracted the disease in Orlando; that it was knowui 
 and i)ublislied that he came to Jacksonville in the same sleeper with 
 McCormick, who was sick with the yellow fever when he reached 
 Jacksonville. It is also shown by the proclamation of quarantine 
 against infected points in South Florida, by Duval county, that Or- 
 lando is not classed as one of them. Dr. Daniel expressed regret 
 that such recognition was not made of Dr. Hicks' communication,, 
 and assured him that it had not been from any intentional neglect 
 on the i)art of the president of his board, who was overcharged with 
 official duties. Dr. Hicks read a mortuary statement, making an 
 admirable showing for the health of Orlando for the past three 
 months. 
 
 President Ingraham responded to the call of Osceola county, audi 
 said he appeared in a dxial capacity,, as i-epresenting the Osceola 
 County Board of Health and the South Florida Eailroad, which he 
 considered rather an anomalous position. Speaking for Osceola 
 county, he said she viewed the quarantine much the same way as- 
 the counties of Orange and Volusia did, but she was controlled by 
 the counties on either side of her.. President Ingraham, speaking as.

 the representative of tlie South Fh)n(hi Jiaihoad, said tliat he always 
 fully co-operated ^vith the Boards of Ilealtli of tlie various counties 
 throufj^h wliich his road passed, and they liad full eontidenee in liini; 
 that he was keeping; trains running;' now at heavy loss to his com- 
 pany, to carry supplies to the people dependent on transportation 
 over his road: tliat Soutli Florida was suffering for many of the 
 necessaries of life because of quarantine restrictions preventing 
 them from jjetting their goods through the usual cliannels: that in 
 many places they had not four days' supply ahead, and cited his 
 own failure to procure necessary articles of food in either Orlando 
 or Sanford to provide for tlie wants of tlie gentleiucii who accom- 
 panied him to the conference. Mr. Ingraham also referred to the 
 importance of regulating freight tratHc at an early day, so as to pro- 
 vide for the prompt forwarding of the orange croji, which is rajiidly 
 maturing. 
 
 Mr. J. X. Hooker, from Polk County Board of Health, said they 
 had more to fear from infection from their neighboring comity of 
 Hillsborough, and still they had not found it necessary to resort to 
 such extreme measures, because the South Fhnida Itailroad had 
 aided them to keep out infection, and they had not suffered any by it. 
 
 Dr. Bainey, I'resident f)f the St. Johns County Board of Health, 
 said that they had put on a strict quarantine against Jacksonville, 
 and would not permit any freight from this city into their county. 
 While Dr. Rainey did not say so, your Committee have reason to be- 
 lieve that Putnam county nnide the same requirements on St. Johns 
 county as they did on Volusia and Orange. 
 
 Dr. >[errill. President of the riay County Board of Health, said 
 they had put (m a reasonal)le (piarantine against Jacksonville, pro- 
 hibiting tlie landing of any baggage, bedding, etc., which might be 
 liable to carry infection, but, situated as they were, they were com- 
 pelled to get their goods from Jacksonville, and they allowed the 
 boat to run between Green Cove Springs and Jacksonville, under 
 proper restrictions. Putnam county threatened to quarantine against 
 Clay if they did not stoj) the boat, but Putnam County Board of 
 Health struck one county that was not ftubservient to their demand. 
 Clay county refused, and Putnam county has quarantined against 
 her, refusing even to permit four car-loads of brick, manufactured 
 at Green Cove Springs, to pass through their county. Dr. Merrill 
 further said that any jierson who presented a certilicate, signed by 
 the President of any Board of Health, that the person had not been 
 exposed to infection within ten days, winild be admitted into Clay 
 county. Beferring to the protection afforded from points South, he 
 stated that he had a man from Tampa arrested for attempting to 
 pass without a health certiti<'ate, and Manted to know how Putnam 
 county let him through. 
 
 P. Mc<?uaid spoke for Duval county, and said that their purpose 
 in bringing about this conference, and the spirit which actuated them 
 in meeting and discussing the subject of qiiai-antiue with the gentle- 
 men present, had been clearly stated by Colonel J. J. Daniel, and he 
 would add that the interests of Jacksonville were so closely linked 
 with those of South Florida and the entire State, that the citizens of 
 Jacksonville did not ask or desire any modification of quarantine 
 regulations that would, in the slightest degree, endanger the health 
 of any portion of the State. The people of Duval county felt that 
 the rigid quarantine against them was harsh, and had no precedent 
 anywhere else in the history of yellow fever epidemics, that he could
 
 204 STATE AND IXTEE-STATE QUARAXTIXE. 
 
 find. The citizens uf Jacksonville had some rights, too, in this mat- 
 ter. They did not want any favors shown them, bnt when it became 
 impossible to send silver money by express to Tampa from .Jackson- 
 ville, or iron pipe and machinery, to enable a saw-mill to continne 
 operations, because of tjuarantine restrictions, it was time to inquire 
 whether this quarantine is more rigid than the public safety de- 
 mands, and even hurtful to the interests of citizens throughout the 
 State generally. P'rom correspondence, and the statements made by 
 gentlemen in this conference, it is evident that there has been a 
 scarcity of even the necessaries of life in several places, and that suf- 
 fering is likely to ensue if articles of food are not exemjited from 
 quarantine, under reasonable conditions. You have heard some of 
 the gentlemen say that they would risk the introduction of yellow- 
 fever before they would starve. In the interest of humanity, and we 
 also believe in accordance with the wishes of the citizens of several 
 counties whose action has been controlled arbitrarily by the counties 
 in the combination to the north of them, we have requested this con- 
 ference. When we were first made aware of the action of the Board 
 of Health of Putnam county, prohibiting even the passage of freight 
 from .Jacksonville through the county, we asked for a conference 
 with officials of that county. The conference was granted, and two 
 members of the Board of Health met the committee from Duval 
 county at Green Cove Springs. At that meeting telegrams from the 
 health authorities of Volusia were quoted, to show that the people 
 of that county were opi)osed to the position I'utnam county had 
 taken. It was also stated that orders were being received daily by 
 the merchants of Jacksonville for such goods as flour and provisions, 
 urging them to try and find some way to send them. The river route 
 was yet open, but, as Putnam county had threatened both Yolusia 
 and Orange counties to quarantine against them if they did not cut 
 off the boat, it was evident that this route, too, would soon be closed, 
 as these counties were compelled to keep that outlet to the Xorth 
 open, via Palatka and Gainesville. Orange county occupied the 
 same position as Yolusia. All this committee then asked the health 
 authorities of Putnam county to grant Avas passage of freights through 
 that county, under such reasonable ]-estrictions as thej' deemed nec- 
 essary to tlie citizens of ct>unties south of them who were willing to 
 receive them. They were not prepared to give us an answer then, 
 but would consider the matter by their full Board, and let us know. 
 Four days elapsed before their answer was received, and, from the 
 numerous copies of telegrams which accompanied their letter, it was 
 evident that they wanted to confer with Marion, Lake and Alachua. 
 The stoppage of the boat, and other more stringent quarantine re- 
 strictions, notified us in advance what their letter confirmed — that 
 they did not see any reason to modify their quarantine against all 
 classes of merchandise from Jacksonville. Telegrams were here 
 read from the Secretary of the Yolusia Board of Health, in proof of 
 the statement made by Mr. McQiiaid, that Yolusia county did not 
 approve of Putnam county's action, and only stopped the boat to 
 avoid being (piarantined. The committee from Duval county did 
 not seek to have ijuarantine restrictions removed against certain 
 classes of goods from any mercenary motives, but believed that such 
 articles of food as were now needed in several parts of South Flor- 
 ida should not be prohibited, and closed with a hope that much good 
 would result from this conference. 
 
 Colonel Daniel closed the discussion with some earnest and
 
 STATK A.VD INTER-STATK liUARANTIXE. 205 
 
 liraotical remarks, which produced a deep imiiressioii upon the 
 nu-niliers of the conference. He urj^ed the gravity of tlie subject 
 under consideration, that all were equally interested in its proper 
 solution. Appealing to the gentlemen present, he reminded them 
 that they met as fellow-citizens and friends, and that they should 
 endeavor to reach a conclusion based on no local or contracted views 
 of the (luestions they had come together to consider, but with an 
 earnest desire to establish such regulations as would best promote 
 the general welfare. He suggested three points, which he hoped the 
 conference would formulate as the result of the meeting: 
 
 First — Transportation under proper restrictions, but without 
 detention of persons from infei'ted points seeking places of refuge 
 beyond the limits of possible danger to others. 
 
 Second — That through freights southward be allowed an unin- 
 terrupted passage to the points of destination, both by rail and 
 water avenues. 
 
 Third — That wise discrimination govern the shipment of freight 
 between local points in the counties, having in view the prohibition 
 of such as are most likely to carry infection, but always providing 
 for the supplying of the i^eople with the necessaries of life. 
 
 Whereupon resolutions submitted by Mr. Alfred Bishop Mason 
 were unanimously adopted, afhrming the first two resolutions and 
 referring the third to a committee of five, to be selected from dele- 
 gates other than those from Duval county. 
 
 Certain other resolutions, relating to the situation generally, 
 whicli your committee cannot now recall, were adopted. 
 
 The chairman extended the thanks of the conferees to the .Jack- 
 sonville. Tampa and Key West, the South Florida and the Florida 
 Southern railroads for courtesies extended, after which the confer- 
 ence adjourneil, with expressions of mutual confidence and goodwill.

 The same day the following telegram was received: 
 
 Seville, Fla., August 28, 1888. 
 
 Col. J. J. Dtinicl, JfirksonriUc, Fla.: 
 
 At a conference, to-day, of the Boards of Health of Clay, Put- 
 nam, St. Johns, Volusia, Orange, Lake, Marion, Polk, and Osceola 
 counties, the following resolution was adopted: 
 
 Jiesoircil, That rice, grits, flour, sugar, coffee, bacon, lard, but- 
 ter, potatoes, corn and oats in barrels; hardware and machinery, 
 unpacked tobacco in any form, aiul cigars, can be shipped into such 
 counties rei)resented, without being disinfected, and all canned 
 goods, after disinfection, in cars whicli have been disinfected in ac- 
 cordance Avith the system now in use by the South Florida P>ailroad, 
 the disinfection to be left to the .Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West 
 Railroad, at the north end of its line, and the South Florida Railroad 
 at its south end. This leaves any merchants in these counties, or 
 south of them, who have the permission of the Boards of Health to 
 do so, free to order their supplies from Jacksonville. As soon as I 
 am notified by the Duval County Board of Health that this permis- 
 sion is granted to the merchants of any particular county by the 
 Board of Health of that county, the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key 
 West Railway will make arrangements immediately for handling the 
 business. I congratulate you and your delegation on the result of 
 to-day's conference. Alfred Bishop Mason.
 
 206 STATE AX13 INTEK-STATE QUAIIAXTIXE. 
 
 The feeling on the part of the Executive Committee of pardon- 
 able elation at the successful termination of the conference Avas soon 
 dampened by the receipt f)f the following communication: 
 
 Sanfoui), Fi.a., August 31, 1888. 
 Col. J. J. Daniel, Jdcl'sonrille, Fhi.: 
 
 Deak Sik — Eeferring to conference at Orange Park. On Mon- 
 day, af'.er you left the conference, the subject of receiving freights 
 from Jacksonville was discussed, and action referred to a committee 
 who finally decided to admit freights under certain restrictions, pro- 
 vided the counties to whicli they were consigned would permit their 
 delivery. 
 
 The committee also decided that freights must be shipped in 
 cars which have been disinfected with bi-chloride of mercury, etc. 
 
 I now doubt very much if tlie Boards of Health will permit the 
 distribution of freights from Jacksonville, owing to the very consid- 
 erable increase in the number of fever patients within the past sev- 
 enty-five hours, and I feel satisfied that, under these circumstances, 
 the people will not i)ermit the freights to be distributed, even if the 
 Boards of Health have no objections. Excitement here runs pretty 
 high, and while there is great sympathy with Jacksonville, there 
 seems to be a general feeling that a course of modifying the present 
 restrictions of (juarantine, would increase the risk of introducing the 
 fever here and at other points in South Florida, and would certainly 
 be productive of a much greater panic than any we have encountered 
 so far. 
 
 Dr. Wall wired me, night before last, that he had six cases of 
 fever, two of which were dangerously ill, and that he could not help 
 but feel that the fever would become general all over the city, and 
 that the tendency was in that direction already, hence you see that 
 the situation is liable to become more serious and even more com- 
 plicated than at present. 
 
 I cannot close this letter without expressing to you my admira- 
 tion for the sentiments which you uttered at our meeting, and I 
 think your address one of the most elocpient to which I have ever 
 listened, and I think I can say, without fear of contradiction, that 
 it reached the hearts of all present, or that none could fail to derive 
 benefit from it. Tlie self-sacrificing action of yourself and others 
 associated with you, in your efforts to control this epidemic, merit 
 the highest meed of praise that man can bestow.

 Surgeon-General Hamilton, M. H. S., Washington, D. C: 
 
 Our desire is to relieve the city from as many of our people as 
 can find places of refuge. We ask that ai-raugenients be made so 
 that refugees can pass directly through, in closed cars, to destina- 
 tion. Women and children should not be subjected to detention at 
 Camp Perry. AVhy not apply same rule to mountain regions of Geor- 
 gia, Tennessee and the Carolinas as to points north of Wilmington 
 and Memijhis line? Cars may be so arranged as not to permit in- 
 tercourse with other passengers, or incur danger of infecting others.

 By to-day's mail I received your iDrinted circular, dated the 28th,. 
 which re(iuired that we shall not receive persons from infected places, 
 except to be taken to Camp Perry. Your previous notice was, that 
 passengers from Jacksonville to i)oints north of Wilmington and 
 Memphis could proceed without detention of person or baggage. As 
 I construe your circular of the 28th, this permission is now with- 
 drawn. If you wire me that this understanding of it is correct, I 
 will at once notify our agent at Jacksonville to receive no passen- 
 gers from and via that place: but passengers now on tlieir way from' 
 South Florida, via .Jacksonville, will not get the notice in time tO' 
 prevent their detention. Eeply. H. S. Haines,

 As soon as the situation was fully known, and the people of 
 Jacksonville realized that they were shut in from any outlet, except 
 through Camp Periy, there was a great deal of feeling. Camp Perry, 
 at this time, was not a proper place for women and children. The 
 accommodations were meagre, consisting of well-worn tents that 
 were little or no protecticm against rain, coarse food, insufficient 
 bedding, and no hospital accommodations. Under these ct)nditions 
 President Daniel sent another message, reading: 
 
 J.vcKSONViLi-K, Fi.A., August 30, 1888. 
 Sur(/eon-General Hamilton, Washiuf/ton, D. C: 
 
 In the name of our people and humanity I protest against the 
 order for the detention of all refugees from our city and State at the 
 refugee camp. It would be better for us to keep our women and 
 children here, rather than to subject them to such treatment. 
 
 J. J. Daniel, 
 President Citizens" Auxiliary Association. 
 
 The same day, in the absence of a (luorum of the Executive Com- 
 mittee, most of whom were at the Orange Park Conference, a mass 
 meeting of citizens was held, and adopted the following preamble 
 and resolutions: 
 
 Whereas, The Surgeon-General has given us hearing neither 
 by conference nor by communication, and yet has cut us oft' from all 
 chance to send our women and children to points impregnable to 
 yellow fever, now inviting us to come, and has done st) after a most 
 cruelly vacillating policy, without notice or warning of any nature, 
 and 
 
 Whereas, President Daniel, of the .Jacksonville Auxiliary Sani- 
 tary Association, has telf^graphed to Surgeon-General Hamilton. Gov- 
 ernor Perry, of Florida, Governor (Gordon, of (xeorgia, our Kepre- 
 tatives at Washington, and fieneral Manager H. .S. Haines, of the Sa- 
 vannah, Florida and Western Railway, his protest against Surgeon- 
 General Hamilton: now, therefore, be it 
 
 Be-solrfd. First, That we heartily endorse all that President Dan- 
 iel has done in this direction. 
 
 Second, We denounce this action of the Surgeon-General as un- 
 necessary, arbitrary, unprecedented and inhuman, and demand, in 
 the name of God and our suftering women and children, that they be 
 allowed to go to the places open to them by invitation. 
 
 Third, We appeal to all our fellow-citizens throughout the coun-
 
 "210 STATE AXD INTER-STATE QUARANTINE. 
 
 try, -to the President of the Vnited States, and to all Senators and 
 Kepresentatives in Congress, for relief from this unjust and unheard 
 of imprisonment, and implore immediate action in our l)ehalf. 
 
 Upon motion, it was further 
 
 J?f.so?rer7, That a copy of these rest)lutions be telegraphed to 
 Senator Call and Eepresentative Charles Dougherty, with the re- 
 ■quest that they immediately communicate the same to President 
 Cleveland and the Senate and House of Representatives.

 While some citizens were in favor of a conservative course, as a 
 matter of policy, the resolutions were generally approved, and copies 
 "Were sent the Governor, the President and Congressmen, and, al- 
 though time has softened the feeling that unnecessary restrictions 
 were insisted upon, which feeling led to the resolutions, time has also 
 proved, conclusively, that the meeting had its weight in effecting a 
 more considerate and helpful policy on the part of the authorities. 
 It may be said here that the Florida delegation at Washington as- 
 sisted materially and effectively in this result, as in many other 
 cases in whicli its aid was volunteered or solicited. 
 
 Coneral Hamilton, on the next day, wired as follows: 
 
 AVasiiinotox, D. C, August :51, 1888. 
 
 J. J. Dnnlvl, ./(icIiKonviUe, Fla.: 
 
 Telegrams received. Your requisition for two hundred huts was 
 -approved. You ai'e mistaken as to the character of the camp, whicli 
 is in charge of one of the most humane officers in the service, and 
 none in the country stands higher as to professional ability. The 
 camp is located in one of the healthiest places in Florida, high pine 
 woods on river bluff', originally intended by tlie railroad as picnic 
 grounds, and taken by Dr. Guiteras as the best place for his camj). 
 He was, some days ago, directed to have some tents set apart, a 
 quarter of a mile distant from the main camp, for observntion of per- 
 sons sjck. Pollard, returned to Jacksonville last Sunday, was sick 
 on arrival at camp; evidently had fever when he left Jacksonville. 
 With the general spread of the disease in the city of Jacksonville, it 
 is useless to expect that perscms should be allowed to mingle with 
 other passengers to definite points. Murphy, in ?y"ortli Carolina, has 
 opened its doors, the only place so reporting itself to me. If resi- 
 dents wish to go to Murphy, or any definite i)oints in Western North 
 Carolina, on tlieir parole not to go to seaboard or quarantined towns 
 in ten days from date of departure from Jacksonville, an excursion 
 train will be provided as soon as the number of cars required can 
 be definitely ascertained. Please estimate the number of people 
 now in Jacksonville Avilling to go on parole, that safe arrangements 
 •can be made for transportation.

 this morning, that.their doors are still open. Colonel Ilaines wires 
 that he will take pleasure in co-operating with you to remove our

 TO THE piiu.if: 
 
 Certain criticisms, mainly based on misinformation concerning 
 the present sanitary regulations, have appeared in the daily press, 
 and as these criticisms have a tendency to weaken the hands of the 
 officers engaged in the prevention of the siiread of yellow fever, and 
 to induce laxity in the maintenance of quarantine, and thereby 
 greatly increase the danger to the whole country, I have thought it 
 expedient to make a general statement of the condition of affairs. 
 The United States Government, acting through its Marine Hospital 
 Service, is engaged" in helping the people of Florida, not in injuring 
 them, and in particular, the stricken city of Jacksonville has been 
 treated with a kindly consideration, suited to the calamity which has 
 befallen it. They were permitted to go anywhere they desired, so

 long as the disease was confined to circumscribed areas in the city^ 
 but when tlie city became generally infected, then the necessity of 
 placing certain restrictions upon the movements of outgoing persons 
 was apparent, and in restricting promiscuous travel from Jackson- 
 ville, the bureau is looking to the security of the country. 
 
 The dreadful ravages of yellow fever in the towns along the rail- 
 road lines leading out of New Orleans in 1878, where there were over- 
 13,000 persons affected with yellow fever, of whom nearly 7,000 died,, 
 is too fresh in the memory to risk its rei)etition along the Atlantic 
 seaboard. The extension of tlie disease to Memphis in 1878, where 
 nearly ;!,000 persons died of yellow fever, might have been prevented,, 
 had there been any authority to restrict travel by a proper quaran- 
 tine. It may be a fearful alternative to compel persons from Jack- 
 sonville to remain within a camp of refuge for a i:)eriod of ten days 
 before being allowed to go at will, but that alternative is humane in 
 comparison with the results which would follow the admission of 
 the contagion into all our seaports and Southern cities, each one of 
 which, in a short time, would become anew center of infection. The 
 Government has not, at any time, established a strict cordon about 
 the city of Jacksonville, but has opened a camp of refuge in a higli, 
 healthy locality, and furnishes free rations to those detained. It has 
 also autliorized, at a large expense, the building of two hundred 
 pine cabins to shelter those poor people who are driven out of in- 
 fected localities, and it is willing to provide for the further relief of 
 .lacksonville by furnishing transportation by special excursion trains 
 . to any definite point that is safe and has opened its doors, but there 
 are few places willing to receive large numbers of refugees.. 
 While it is probably true that the body of a healthy person does not 
 carry contagion, his clothes do carry it, and baggage packed in an 
 infected house is dangerous in the extreme. Fumigating stations 
 liave been established at proper points; and all baggage will be fumi- 
 gated which comes from any infected city. I do not think, there- 
 fore, there can be any reasonable ground of complaint.

 A meeting was held in Augusta the next day, the published ac- 
 count of which is quoted : 
 
 Augusta, Ga., September?). 
 
 At the suggestion of Governor Gordon, Surgeon-Gener.al Hamil- 
 ton had a conference here to-day with the health authorities of sev- 
 eral cities in the State, and with the State Health Officers of Tennes- 
 see and Alabama, Governor Gordon being present, and General Man- 
 ager Haines, from Savannah, and Mayor Dunn, of Brunswick. 
 
 At this conference the following telegram was read, which was 
 received by the Surgeon-General: 
 
 Atlant.v, Ga., September;]. 
 Siir(jeon-<ieu<:r((l J. 11. lliiniiltnii :

 noon to-day: 
 
 Remlved, That the Board of Health of the city of Atlanta, 
 his honor, the Mayor, co-operating, cordially approve tlie plan 
 adopted by the Surgeon-General of the United States, requiring ten 
 tlays' (juarantine of all persons from infected, or suspected districts 
 in Florida conveniently near to infected points.
 
 STATE AND INTER-STATE QUARANTINE. 213 
 
 Besoh-ed, That the wholesale removal of persons from infected 
 districts to popnlous cities, and the aggregation of infected individ- 
 uals in any part of this conntry, is regarded as hazardons in a sani- 
 tary point of view, and is nnjnst to any commnnity ui)on which per- 
 sons are forced, because of the probable necessity of maintaining 
 many of them at the corporate expense. 
 
 James M. Baikd, 
 
 Secretary. 
 
 After a lengthy discussion, the following resolutions were 
 adopted by the conference: 
 
 liesolced, That this convention cordially approves the plan 
 of the Surgeon-General of the United States Marine Hospital Ser- 
 vice, requiring ten days' quarantine of all persons from infected or 
 suspected places, together with a fumigatit)n and other disinfection 
 of all baggage, etc., from infected points. 
 
 liesolred, That the wholesale removal of persons from infected 
 districts to populous cities, and the aggregation of individuals from 
 infected places in any city in this country, is regarded as extremely 
 hazardous to any such community; also, that the citizens of .Jaclc- 
 sonville have no just cause for complaint against the quarantine reg- 
 ulations as at present operated, inasmuch as abundant provision has 
 been and will be made by the establishment of healthful and cleanly 
 camps for the iidiabitants of Jacksonville, and provision will be 
 made for the maintenance of such citizens during their detention in 
 camp. 
 
 Bcsolved, That in the judgment of this conventi(m, after the 
 suspects shall have been detained in a quarantine camj) for ten days, 
 and their baggage shall have been fumigated under direction of the 
 United States (iovernment, such persons shall be permitted to go to 
 any commiuiity willing to receive them. 
 
 Meantime, the publication of cori'espondence called forth hos- 
 pitable invitations to refugees from Anniston, Jacksonville, Ilunts- 
 ville, Alabama; Jackson, Kome, Salt Springs, Georgia; Knoxville, 
 Gailbraith Springs, Leo Springs, Bon Aqua, Hale Springs, Tennes- 
 see; Saluda, North Carolina, and Walhalla, South Carolina. 
 
 The Executive Committee had realized, for some time, that a 
 conference with Surgeon- General Hamilton was desirable, and wired 
 him to that effect, asking him to name time and place. In accord- 
 ance with the arrangements made on September 4tli, representatives 
 of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association, the City Council 
 of Jacksonville, and Duval County Board of Health, went to Camp 
 Perry. The trip was long and tedious, but the conference, although 
 it did not promise much at the time, undoubtedly bore good results: 
 1st, In the decidedly improved character of train service to and 
 from Camp Perry; 2d, In obtaiaing better accommodations at the 
 camp itself ; 3d, In an understanding as to Government assistance 
 and the proper method of obtaining it; 4th, In the suggestion that 
 State authorities be asked to grant permission to run special trains 
 to points in the mountains willing to receive i-ef ugees.

 On the next day, after the return from Camp Perry, the follow- 
 ing telegram was sent: 
 
 September 5, 1S88. 
 Senator Call, ]]'<is/n)iijf(ni, B. ('.: 
 
 Had conference with Surgeon-General yesterday at Camp Perry. 
 He gives oiir people the alternative of staying here to perish by the 
 scourge or to spend ten days in (juarantine at Camp Perry, which is 
 an unfit place for women and children. Tents are old and do not 
 keep out rain. It cannot accommodate two hundred. Half are low 
 negroes, and all have to eat at same table. We consider it an out- 
 rage on our civilization to otfer us this alternative. The Surgeon- 
 General gave us little satisfaction, and we hope for little sympathy 
 or practical assistance from him.

 On the same day a special train to Nashville was stopped, and 
 the following telegram was sent by the Corresponding Secretary of 
 the Auxiliary Association to Senator Pasco and Surgeon-General 
 Hamilton at Washington: 
 
 Jacksona^li.e, Fi.a., September 5, 1888 
 Senator S. Pasco, Wanhiittjton, D. C: 
 
 W. D. Chipley, of Pensacola, and Captain Maxwell, of the Flor- 
 ida Railway and Navigation Company, telegraphed they had arranged 
 for special train to go to Nashville with Florida people in locked 
 cars. Captain Maxwell telegraphs to-day cars stopped at Live Oak 
 and returned to Jacksonville, by order of Surgeon Hutton. The 
 railway oflicials and citizens, generally, are asking me what it means, 
 and insist on getting some satisfactory information as to how and 
 when they can get out of the city. I, therefore, in the absence of 
 other officers, ask you for some definite information on this point. 
 
 James M. Faiulie, 
 Corresponding Secretary Citizens' Association. 
 
 The answer to these several communications, from General 
 Hamilton, was: 
 
 Washixgtox, D. C, September 7, 1888. 
 P. McQuaiil, Jacksonville : 
 
 Your telegram to Senator Call received and carefully considered. 
 The train through Live Oak was stopped because of my knowledge 
 of the action of the State authorities of Tennessee. The following 
 telegriim, just received, shows the correctness of my opinion: 
 
 Nasuvieee, September 0, 1888. 
 Dr. John B. Jlamilton, Siir<ieon-General : 
 
 Unless refugees have been in camp for ten days, baggage disin- 
 fected, and each holds your certificate of health, they will not be ad- 
 mitted to this State. The Augusta agreement is approved. 
 
 J. D. Peunket, 
 President State Board of Health. 
 
 I will see that arrangements are made for the transportation, in 
 cars under Government supervision, of all persons wishing to leave 
 Jacksonville, as soon as possible, to such points as will receive them.

 You must be aware of the fact that State laws must govern, and we- 
 cannot send refugees to points in .States that will not receive them..

 placed by houses, as fast as possible. I will take up my headquarters 
 at Cami> Perry on Monday. Your requisition for sanitary supplies 
 approved. You must specify other items.

 Otlier answers to Secretary Fairlie's message regarding the refu- 
 gee question may prove interesting: 
 
 Have seen the President and Surgeon-General Hamilton. If ar- 
 rangements can be made to receive refugees at Louisville, and to 
 pass through Alabama and Tennessee, restrictions will be removed. 
 Duval is here, and will communicate with Maxwell, and try to per- 
 fect arrangements. S. Pasco. 
 
 Executive Maxsiox, WAsinxirrox, September (!, 1888. 
 To J. M. Fatrlie, Esq., Jdck-soncille : 
 
 Senator Pasco has shown me your dispatch, and I have had a 
 consultation with Dr. Hamilton. While the Government is anxious 
 to do everything possible within its power to help the people of 
 Jacksonville in their great calamity, I hope they will recognize tlie 
 necessity of the exercise of caution to prevent the spread of the dis- 
 ease to other jilaces, thus involving the safety of the people in all 
 parts of the State and country. The defects at Camp Perry will be 
 remedied at once. I hope the establishment of the other camp will 
 be pushed as rapidly as possil)le. With your co-operation each camp 
 can be made to answer the purpose of its creation, and tlie character- 
 of those sent to Camp Perry, on their way Xorth, can be changed. 
 
 Is the establishment of a free dispensary at Jacksonville ad- 
 vised? 
 
 Everything will be done to the limit of our power to help in the 
 best and most reasonable way. 
 
 Gkoveh Cleveland. 
 
 September 8th the Executive Committee of the Association, feel- 
 ing that non-residents still misapprehended the views of the i>eople 
 here, adopted these resolutions: 
 
 Whereas, There seems to be a misunderstanding respecting 
 the views and wishes of this committee in reference to allowing 
 those of our people, who are able to do so, to go beyond the reach 
 of infection, and by this means assist in cliecking the spread of the 
 fever here, 
 
 Besoli-ecl, That it is not our desire to liave our people go, or at- 
 tempt to go, to any place ■which has quarantined against them, or to- 
 any place wliich has not expressed a willingness to receive them,, 
 nor even to any Southern or seai)ort place in which there is danger 
 of infection finding lodgment and spreading. 
 
 Besolved, That we desire only to avail ourselves of the liospita- 
 ble invitations of places whose latitude or physical condition make 
 them proof, as we are professionally advised, against all danger. 
 
 Invitations continued to come in from various places. To judge 
 from the following editorial in the Evening Journal, of Atlanta, and
 
 '21Q STATE AND INTER-STATE QUAKAXTIXE. 
 
 from the abundant hospitality of her citizens, the "Augusta Confer- 
 ence" was not entirely sustained: 
 
 The Board of Health of Atlanta seems to object to Florida refu- 
 gees coming to this city, because some of them might get sick and 
 have to be cared for "at the corporation's expense." We have 
 great respect for the Board of Health, but we do not think the 
 reason mentioned should weigh one particle. Jacksonville is in 
 trouble. Certain causes have produced there a type of yellow fever 
 which seems to be very mild. There are, comparatively, few cases 
 and few deaths, but the city has been paralyzed, and her people 
 have been greatly frightened. A number of places that are afraid of 
 fever e])idemics, Augusta, Birmingham, Chattanooga, etc., have 
 quarantined against Jacksonville. iS'ow, it is absolutely impossible 
 for this beautiful and healthful and growing city to take yellow 
 fever by opening her gates to Jacksonville, and the fright which has 
 seized other cities has not taken ])ossession of Atlanta. As we are 
 safe let us keep cool. Let us show that we mean what we say when 
 we declare that this city is a place where yellow fever cannot spread. 
 God has blessed Atlanta above her sisters, and she should be liberal 
 in dealing with the refugees from the Land of Flowers. Let the 
 refugees come on. Let them feel welcome. If any of them get 
 sick they will be cared for in the hospital already provided, and 
 which has stood vacant for about a month, and is still vacant. "We 
 assure the Board of Health that Atlanta will cheerfully furnish the 
 cash, and this is an occasion when we should all remember that 
 there are some things in the woild besides money. 
 
 Let the refugees come on. 
 
 Hendersonville, N. C, however, in many respects, seemed the 
 most available place of refuge, and after free use of the wires to 
 State and Government authorities, arrangements were completed, 
 and on the 11th a special train to that place left Jacksonville. An 
 official report of the trip, made to Surgeon-General Hamilton, is in- 
 troduced as information, and as containing some valuable hints 
 for future emergencies of the sort: 
 
 Cajip Peijry, Fla., September 1(3, 1888. 
 Sir: 
 
 I have the honor to report as follows concerning the excursion 
 train of refugees from Jacksonville and Camp Perrv to Henderson- 
 ville, ?f. C. 
 
 The train left Jacksonville on the morning of the 11th inst., and 
 was joined by myself and the Camp Perry contingent at Folkston, 
 Ga., making, in all, a total of 2'.)1 souls. 
 
 It was found that no keys had been furnished to lock the cars, 
 and this evil it was found impossible to correct by applying to the 
 railroad authorities, on account of the variety of cars furnished. 
 
 Unfortunately, the trip was i)rolonged beyond the time antici- 
 pated, on account of sevei-al accidents on the road. These, perhaps, 
 might have been provided for with greater promi)titude by the rail- 
 road authorities had they fully recognized the gravity of the situa- 
 tion. 
 
 The evils resulting from this delay were twofold. First, the 
 running short of rations. This was provided for, to a great extent, 
 sometimes by the generosity and in others by the cupidity of the
 
 STATE AND INTKR-STATK QUAR.VNTINK. 217 
 
 towns along the road. Some parties at Atlanta and Macon gener- 
 ously furnished relishes, while others charged exorbitant prices. I 
 must mention, however, the most conspicuous example of gener- 
 osity. This was shown by the town of Easley, S. C, which provided, 
 without any charges, and Jate in the night, the most abundant assort- 
 ment of supplies. 
 
 The second and most important consequence of delay was the 
 development of cases of yellow fever on the train. Only two cases 
 developed in the first twenty-fours hours, and three in the course of 
 the second day. Of course, it was to be expected that this would 
 happen in an aggregation of people leaving Jacksonville; but it is 
 very probable that the accumulation of people, clothes and baggage 
 for so long a time in hot cars, which could not be kept in a sanitary 
 condition, created a secondary centre of infection, that will show 
 itself in the develoimient of cases after the arrival in Hendersonville. 
 
 The appearance of yellow fever among the refugees had a very 
 inifavorable effect upon the morale of the party. They were truly 
 panic stricken. One car quarantined strictly against the other, and 
 efforts to escape were frequently made, and, unfortunately, in a few 
 instances with success. 
 
 One lady was taken with labor pains in the train, and, with the 
 consent of a local physician, she was allowed to remain at White Sul- 
 phur Springs, near Gainesville, Ga. 
 
 A marked contrast was apparent between the two cars occupied 
 by the refugees from Camp Perry and the rest of the train. Among 
 the former no cases of yellow fever occurred, and the morale was ex- 
 cellent. The two cars were strictly quarantined against tlie rest. 
 No complaint was heard; no fear expressed. In the other cars the- 
 spectacle was pitiful. The isolation of the sick in one car, I discov- 
 ered, would have increased the excitement by bringing together and 
 crowding still more people from the different cars, who were suspi- 
 cious of each other. 
 
 Great credit is due to that ixntion of the refugees who gave me 
 their support throughout the journey. It was owing to their kind 
 firmness that we had no decideil breach of discipline. 
 
 We arrived at Hendersonville on the loth, at two o'clock a. m. 
 The hospitality of that generous people became at once apparent. 
 Tliey had been up all night, preparing a building for the reception of 
 tlie sick. Fires were built around the station, adding wai-mih and 
 cheerfulness to the cordiality of the reception. With the assistance 
 of Dr. Few, of Hendersonville, the patients were removed to the hos- 
 pital. The refugees found accommodation at very reasonaljle rates. 
 
 On the morning of the arrival a sixth case of yellow fever de- 
 veloped. The comparatively large proportion of cases has caused 
 much excitement, and it is probable that some of the refugees will 
 break their parole. 
 
 It is apparent, from the above facts, that the experiment of ex- 
 cursions, insisted upon by the people of Jacksonville, is not a suc- 
 cess. There is, of course, a possibility that Hendersonville may be- 
 come a center of infection, but I do not expect this to happen. The 
 large proportion of cases taken sick during the journey renders the 
 measure one of questionable advantage to the people of Jacksonville, 
 let alone the hardships of the journey. 
 
 The removal of a large portion of an infected population to high 
 altitudes, where yellow fever spreads with difficulty, is a desirable 
 object, and appears perfectly practicable, if the health department

 of the nation was endowed with the same liberality as the army ancK 
 navy. Such action would necessitate the existence of extensive per- 
 manent quarters in the mountainovis regions, with a standing garri- 
 son of acclimated people, the htting out of special trains exclusively 
 under control of the Government, and constructed specially for that 
 purpose. These encampments and deposits of sanitary stores should 
 be ever ready for action, in the same manner that the strategic points 
 are maintained in readiness, at great expense, l)y military authori- 
 ties. Provision should be made, also, for the constant training of a 
 standing s.anitary corps, by setting the machinery in motion during 
 seasons when there are no epidemics, as is done in military and na- 
 val reviews and exercises. 
 
 I hiive the honor to submit the above report for your considera- 
 tion. 
 
 Very respectfully, your obedient -servant, 
 
 John Gtjiteras, 
 Passed Assistant Surgeon, M. II. S. 
 
 On Se]»tember 11th Vice-President McQuaid lield a conference 
 with Svirgeon-General Hamilton, upon different matters at Camp 
 Perry, and, upon his return, reported decided changes for the better 
 in that camj). Partly from this improved condition of the camp, 
 and also from the reduced number of the population, no further at- 
 tempt at the time was made for special trains; in fact, not until af- 
 ter quarantine was raised. 
 
 It will be seen from tliis history that the Executive Committee 
 of the Association, in the midst of active measures for the relief of 
 the i)opulatioii, used every means for depopulating the city. This 
 end was souglit as much for the good of the refugees as for 
 those left beliind. Whether or not the refugees api>reciated the 
 effort is doubtful. Certainly, it can be said that the lady who in- 
 tended to go on the free Government train to Hendersonville, but 
 who, on some account, got left, and sent a bill to the Executive Com- 
 mittee for baggage claimed to have been lost on the train, was not a 
 fair criterion by which to estimate others. 
 
 During the wane of the epidemic it became a i)roblein to dispose 
 of some of the nurses, who had done good service, at the Bureau of 
 Nurses and ]\ret\ical Attention. The expense of maintaining the Bu- 
 reau was heavy, and tlie funds of the Association did not warrant 
 tlieir detention longer than absolute necessity required. Quarantine 
 regulations again played an important part, and the task of trans- 
 porting nurses to their homes was an onerous one. The Committee 
 on Transportation was charged with the duty, and in the chapter 
 devoted to its work will be found a brief account of the results ac- 
 complished. 
 
 So early as October l.'itli some refugees exi)ressed a desire to re- 
 turn to the city, on the ground that their round trip tickets would 
 shortly exi^ire, but, by general consent, the transportation lines ex- 
 tended tickets, and this cause for anxiety was relieved.
 
 STATK A.Vh INIKK-SIATK <iU A U ANTl \ K. 219 
 
 On October "fist the Exeeutive Committee of the Association 
 was advised of the receii>t by Dr. Joseph Y. Porter of a strong com- 
 munication from Surgeon-General Hamilton, calling attention to the 
 desire on the part of many refugees to return home, tlie danger to 
 be apprehended from such action, and the necessity for taking strin- 
 gent measures of prevention. 
 
 The Executive Committee heartily approved General Hamilton's 
 position, and requested a conference on the pai-t of the authorities to 
 consider tlie substance of his communication. 
 
 A conference was accordingly had, and the Board of Health 
 passed resolutions exi)laining the situation, urging patience on the 
 part of the refugees, asking the city authorities to i)ass neccssai'y or- 
 dinances to meet the (emergency, and reijuesting the Surgeon in 
 Charge of Government IJelief Measures in Florida to assume the 
 duty and expense of adopting measures, in conjunction with the city 
 auth(U"ities, to prevent the return of refugees until it should be ofh- 
 cially declared safe to return. 
 
 The City Council took a similar view of tin- matter, and adopted 
 the following resolutions: 
 
 WiiKKKAs, On account of tlic nature of the existing epidemic, it 
 is universally deenu-d expedient that none of our absent citizens can 
 return, or otlier persons come to this city and comity without risk to 
 life and health, until winter weather has arrived, unless the said 
 pcrsf>ns have l»ecome praitically i>roof against the disease of yellow 
 fever: ami 
 
 WiiKUKAs. The coming in of any such jiersons would not only 
 be attended with risk to themselves, but, by furnishing material for 
 the fever, would gieatly increase the danger of extending and per- 
 petiuiting the disease; thcn-forc, be it 
 
 liesolrrd, First, that for the i)ublic good we hereby forbid the 
 coming of our absent fellow-citizens, and all others into the city of 
 Jacksonville, until annonncement has been made by Dr. Joseph Y. 
 Porter, (Jovcrnment Agent, that they may come with safety. 
 
 Second, that wc hereby relinquish to Dr. Joseph Y. Porter, as 
 agent of the I'nited States (iovernment, all our jxiwer to act in the 
 premises, at his discretion, until such time as he may announce it 
 safe for jjcrsons to come into the city. 
 
 The danger for the tinu' being was i)assed, but on Xovember 1st 
 the Board of Health issued the following i)roclamation:

 The following address is an otlicial message of tlie Duval County 
 IJoard of Health to the pet>i)le most directly interested: 
 
 The Boarfl of Health feels called upon, in the discharge of a very 
 grave responsibility, to warn the public, both here and at a distance, 
 against the danger of decei)tion in regard to the amount and chai-ac- 
 ter of the fever existing in and around .Jacksonville at this time, 
 and to call attention to the jeoi)ardy to human life, as well as to our 
 material i)rosperity, by endeavoring, as Avould appear to be the de-
 
 220 STATE AND INTEK-STATE QUARAXTIXE. 
 
 sire or intei)tion on the part of some, to underrate the gravity of our 
 present situation, and thereby prematurely open our city to the out- 
 side world. 
 
 The same conviction of duty which prompted this Board, in Au- 
 gust last, to announce, without hesitation or delay, its first recogni- 
 tion of a case of yellow fever in Jacksonville, now impels it to warn 
 the people against hasty and unreliable conclusions in regard to the 
 disappearance of the disease which has so grievously afflicted us. 
 
 The medical members of the Board of Health, Drs. Mitchell, Ba- 
 con and Daniel, have personally and carefully investigated this mat- 
 ter, at the request of the Board, and they are f idly satisfied that the 
 number of cases of yellow fever reported through the official bulletin, 
 daily, is thoroughly reliable. It is true that there is very little sick- 
 ness of any kind in tlie city proper, but in the western and northwest- 
 ern suburbs, as well as in South Jacksonville and the country adjacent 
 thereto, there are many cases of fever; the majority of them mild, be- 
 cause among the colored population principally ; but none the less they 
 are undoubted cases of yellow fever. And it may be added that the 
 sickness is now principally in and amongst that class which is most 
 p6or and needy. 
 
 The Board of Health earnestly appreciates the responsibility 
 which devolves upon it in connection with this matter, and, so far as 
 its opportunities for ascertaining the true condition can be made 
 available, and its autliority exercised, it does not projjose to indorse 
 other than tlie truth. 
 
 The public can rest assured that no one, in or out of Jackson- 
 ville, will more thoroughly appreciate the occasion, or more heartily 
 rejoice thereat, than will each and every member of this Board when 
 the day arrives that the announcement can be truthfully made that 
 the danger is over, and our silent foe has gone. 
 
 Jacksonville, Fla. , November 1, 1888. 
 
 A few '^'ays later the City Council adopted the following ordi- 
 nance : 
 
 An Ordinance to Preserve the Health of the City by Preventing the 
 Premature Entry of Refugees from Yellow Fever Infection, and 
 Others. 
 Be it ordained bi/ thf Mayor and City Council of the City of Jackson- 
 ville : 
 
 Section 1. Tliat it be, and is hereliy, declared unlawful for any 
 person, who has not been actually residing within the city of Jack- 
 sonville since the 1st day of September last, to enter the same for 
 any ])urpose whatever, or to be found therein without a written per- 
 mit from Joseph Y. Porter, M. D., Surgeon in charge of Government 
 Relief Measures, Florida ; and any person violating any of the pro- 
 visions of this ordinance shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined not 
 more than $.500 or be imprisoned not exceeding thirty days. 
 
 About the middle of November the refugees began to collect in 
 neighboring cities, ready to return at the earliest possible moment. 
 
 One resident, who had left the city, returned under the claim 
 that he liad recovered from the fever, but his prompt arrest, and en- 
 forced withdrawal until he could substantiate his statement, had the 
 effect to prevent others from coming in.

 The refugees, anxious to get back, began to show strong signs 
 of dissatisfaction with tlie action of the authorities, and the feeling 
 was shared by many people, and by the newspapers. On November 
 26th the following telegram was received : 
 
 Kimball House, Atlanta, Ga., November 26, 1888. 
 J. M. Schumacher, Vice-President Auxiliary Committee:

 mand immediate action by authorities. Answer.

 The reply of the Executive Committee was: 
 
 Jacksonville, Fla., November 26, 1888. 
 John Q. Burbridye, G. W. Markens, Isadore Grunthal, Geo. Hughes, 
 Wm. James, Kimball House, Atlanta, Ga.: 
 
 The Executive Committee is assured that the authorities are in 
 full accord with the desire of all our people to expeditiously ob- 
 tain such a sanitary condition here as will permit the early return 
 of refugees with safety, and without endangering a new outbreak of 
 fever. Your telegram will be handed t>) the Board of Health. 
 
 J. M. Schumacher, 
 
 Acting President. 
 
 The pressure upon tlie authorities, from within and without, be- 
 came stronger, and, indeed, was carried so far, in some cases, as to 
 impugn the motives of those in authority. November 30th the Board 
 of Health published the following: 
 
 Resolved, That the Board of Health does not consider that the 
 proper time has yet arrived for tlie removal of quarantine restric- 
 tions against the unacclimated, and that due notice will be given 
 wlujn it appears advisable to discontinue such restrictions. 
 
 Resolced, That a committee of two members be appointed by 
 the President, whose duty it shall be to prepare for pul>lication a 
 card, setting forth the reasons upon which the foregoing resolution 
 is based, and urging the hearty co-operation of all citizens of .Jack- 
 sonville, and of Florida, in the position which is taken by the Board 
 at this time. 
 
 The above resolutions were adopted, after an earnest and thor- 
 ough consideration of all the interests involved, and we hope, also, 
 with a proper appreciation of the resjionsibilities which rest upon 
 us, as the guardians of the public health. 
 
 We would, in the first place, state that after the prevalence of 
 so serious an epidemic of yellow fever in this city for the past three 
 or four months, and the consequent infection of the interior of 
 houses, as well as their various contents, the advent of one, or even 
 two decided frosts, and an approximation to the freezing point for a 
 single night, does not render it otherwise than seriously dangerous 
 still for those who are outside and liable to contract fever, or ex- 
 posure, to come into the city. A few days must be permitted to
 
 222 STATE AND INTEK-STATE QUARAXTIXE. 
 
 elapse for the purpose of liaving the wholesome atmosphere to dif- 
 fuse itself, and of givino; assurance that there will not be, upon the 
 early recurrence of an elevation of temperature, a notable increase 
 in the number of cases. And we would urge that l)uildings, apart- 
 ments, and confined spaces in and about the city, be exposed and 
 ventilated during the i)rese,nt cold snap, as much as possible. 
 
 But we would likewise caP attention to the fact that, during the 
 course of the dreadful ordeal through which we have passed, there 
 has been repeatedly, and in various ways, expression given by the 
 great majority of our i)eople, both at home and absent, to their earn- 
 est desire that every means possible should be utilized, not only to 
 arrest the progress of the epidemic, but to prevent a recurrence of it. 
 
 The Board of Health and the city authorities of Jacksonville, to- 
 gether with the Auxiliary Association, which latter body has in its 
 meml)ershii) some of the most responsible elements of this commu- 
 nity, have been, and still are, we believe, in thorough accord on this 
 subject, and have urged upon the General Government the appro- 
 priation of such means for this purpose as would enable them to 
 carry out this latter wish as thoroughly as possible, without invol- 
 ing our people in a greater expense and loss individually than could 
 reasonably be expected of them. 
 
 Dr. J. Y. Porter, Surgeon in charge of Government IJelief Meas- 
 ures, has given his earnest co-operation and active aid in inducing 
 the favorable consideration of such a i)lan by the Xational authori- 
 ties. Dr. Porter has only recently been empowered to proceed with 
 the purifying and cleaning process at the expense of the General 
 Government, and he has since been actively, and with as much expe- 
 dition as is consistent with the attainment of the objects in view, 
 perfecting the necessary arrangements. 
 
 We have every confidence that this work will be jjushed forward 
 to an early completion, and we ask, as well as expect, the hearty co- 
 operation of all good citizens in the accomplishment of what is hope- 
 fully desired. We are all weary of this struggle with the pestilence 
 which has swept over us, and is now liugeringly leaving us, lean of 
 purse and sore of heart, and we are all, doubtless, most anxious to 
 put the thing behind us and commence anew; but let us not, in our 
 imi)atience to attain this, neglect to exercise prudence and discre- 
 tion, and thereby sacrifice more lives. We do not ask those inter- 
 ested to wait until the entire work is completed, but, at least, we feel 
 that it is of the utmost imixntance to put the business centers of tlie 
 city in such condition as will permit the further prosecution and 
 conijiletion of the work without seriously militating against its suc- 
 cess by the premature incoming of our outside friends, or subjecting 
 them to danger which may result fatally, and for which we should, 
 and will, ho held responsible as the guardians of the public health. 
 
 While the thorough process of disinfection which is being in- 
 augurated here, at the reipiest of our own people, some of those who 
 are refugees having rendered most efficient service in accomplishing 
 this purpose, cannot give a positive assurance of entire immunity 
 from yellow fever in the future, it certainly will largely aid in the 
 attainment of such protection; and can we by such a work butjjre- 
 .serve one single life, sucli as those of the many which have been 
 offered ui)on the altar of duty from among our fellow-citizens here, 
 we sliall have well expended tlie time, money, and sacrifice of per- 
 sonal interests and convenience vvliich may be involved. Besides 
 the assurance thus given to the outside world of such a thorough
 
 STATK AND I>JTER-STATE (iUAKA XTIN K. 223 
 
 ■-.niul complete purification will, we feel conficlent, enable Jackson- 
 ville to enter upon her active duties again on such vantage ground 
 that the work which we have vmdertaken will, ere long, repay us 
 well in dollars and cents, and prove a good investment pecuniarily. 
 It is impossible to state as yet just when we can say to the many 
 who are anxiously waiting to come in, but we ask no long delay, and 
 promise to work with hand and heart, night and day, to its early ac- 
 complishment; and we can give assurance that there will be im- 
 l^osed upon our absent friends and neighbors but a few days of de- 
 lay in addition to that which ordinary prudence will require.

 The situation was trying. There were received from many refu- 
 gees assurances of esteem and confidence, which were appreciated 
 by those trying to do their duty, as they saw it. For illustration:

 ■J. M. SrliuntarJicr, JurkHonvUle :

 ■ (/. M. SrJnunache.r : 
 
 Deak Sir — I have read, in this morning's Constitution, a report 
 of telegrams sent from here by i)iuties piirporting to represent the 
 Floridians now in Atlanta, aiul your reply thereto. My purpose in 
 writing this letter is to assure you, and all others of our people, who 
 have remained and faced this epidemic, while we were safely away 
 from it, that the demands of the telegram sent you do not express 
 the sentiments of the Florida people here, except of a minority. 
 The majority are perfectly willing to wait, in patience, the decision 
 of the proper authorities in this matter, knowing very well that they 
 are better able to judge of the demands of the position, being on the 
 spot, than we are, at a safe distance, and although we are all anxious 
 to return home, still we are perfectly willing to submit this matter 
 to the judgment and discretion of those of you who are now on the 
 spot, and have been for the past three months. We are satisfied 
 with all that has Ijeen done, and all that may be done, by those at 
 home, and want to assure you of our hearty co-operation and ap- 
 proval, and were it known that I had M'ritten this letter to you, I 
 have no doubt whatever but that at least one hundred more addi- 
 tional signatures could be had to this letter besides my own. 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 E. K. Van Biken. 
 
 On the other hand. com])laints continued to come in, and one
 
 224 ' STATE AND IXTER-STATE QUAKANTINE. 
 
 prominent citizen, in a communication to the Times- Union, too long^ 
 to reproduce in full, said : 
 
 The refugees are determined to return to their homes and fire- 
 sides, in spite of the constituted authorities, and I now give them 
 public notice that in less than seven days a car-load of refugees vi^ill 
 arrive at the depot in Jacksonville prepared, if necessary, to fight 
 their way to their homes and firesides. 
 
 December 4th the City Council, acting on information from the 
 Board of Health, instructed the Mayor to issue a proclamation per- 
 mitting the return of the refugees on December 15th, which was ac- 
 cordingly done. The refugees were permitted to return a few days 
 before the 1.5th, it being understood they should stay out oftown at 
 night. 
 
 So ended the matter that probably called forth more feeling than 
 any other during the epidemic. The facts have been given in this 
 chapter, as being indirectly involved in the discussion of quarantine 
 questions. It may be questionable whether the action taken could 
 be defended on any other legal ground than that of i)ublic policy. 
 Had no restriction been placed upon the return of refugees, it is un- 
 questionable that individual cases of sickness would have origin- 
 ated, and probably the epidemic would have been prolonged. 
 
 In the light of the past, if the expediency of the position taken 
 to exclude refugees were now to be decided by popular voice, it is 
 probable that the action of the autliorities would be i-atified by a. 
 large vote.

 P. McQuaid, Esq., Acting President Citizens^ Auxiliary Association^ 
 Jacksonville, Fin.: 
 Citizens of Jacksonville and other portions of Florida now in 
 this city, together with leading representatives of transportation 
 lines interested in Florida, have organized an association, subsidiary 
 to yours, with the view of obtaining from your association frequent 
 and accurate information of the pressing necesssities of Jackson-

 kinds to you as needed. 
 
 All transportation lines are members, and will forward physi-

 CitizenH' Au.rilinry Association, Jacksonville, Fla.: 
 
 Gentlemen: Yesterday citizens of Jacksonville and other por- 
 tions of our State who are now in New York City, as well as repre- 
 sentatives of transportation lines in Florida, met at the Grand Cen- 
 tral Hotel to consider whether they might not be al)le to do some- 
 thing for Jacksonville in her distress. 
 
 An organization was partially effected, and this afternoon an- 
 otlier and more general meeting was held, at which a complete or- 
 ganization was made, under the terms of a resolution of which the 
 foUowiug is a copy: 
 
 Resolreil, That the citizens of Jacksonville and other portions of 
 Fl<.)rida now in the city of New York, togetlier with the transporta- 
 tion lines doing business in Florida, do form themselves into an as- 
 sociation to be known as an Auxiliary Kelief Committee to the 
 j)arent relief committees at Jacksonville, Fla. The scope and duties 
 of this committee will be to keep thoroughly informed as to the 
 actual condition of affairs at Jacksonville, Fla.., daring the preva- 
 lence there of yellow fever as an ei)idemic; to ascertain the wants 
 and necessities of her people, and to endeavor to relieve and ame- 
 lioi-ate the same by becoming a medium through which the large- 
 liearted generosity of the citizens of New York and vicinity may find 
 a safe and sure expression, by affording certain and speedy means of 
 forwarding physicians, nurses, supplies and money to the suffering 
 and stricken people of Jacksonville.

 This committee will act under advice and information daily re-

 The object and aims of our organization are set forth in the res- 
 olution above written. We have connected with us in hearty co-op- 
 eration all the transportation lines doing business with Jacksonville 
 from this direction, and we will endeavor to render ytm prompt and 
 timely assistance in tlie securing and forwarding such needed sup- 
 plies as you may, from time to time, call for through us. We re- 
 quest that youivill give us authority to act for you, so that the full 
 and complete confidence which is now felt in us may be strengthened 
 and sustained. 
 
 The headijuarters of our cf>mmittee is at the Grand Central Ho- 
 tel, New York City, to which place all telegrams and letters should 
 be directed. We feel th.at by organization and systematic effort on 
 the part of our committee the varied necessities and requirements of 
 our fever stricken city can lie daily ascertained and intelligently sup- 
 plied, and some sufferings thereby avoided and ameliorated. We 
 ask that you inform us daily of what you stand in most urgentneed, 
 in the way of physicians, nurses. supi>lies and money, and we will 
 do what is in our power to supply youi- wants through the generosity 
 of a people who, at all times, respond liberally to the call of the dis- 
 tressed. 
 
 On Monday we will further jirepare ourselves for effective work, 
 by the appointment of sub-committees for detail work. We shall 
 hold ourselves at all times in readiness to follow your suggestions 
 and instructions. 
 
 Be kind enough to communicate with us at once, giving the 
 necessary authority to act under your auspices.

 Such was the organization of the New York Committee of the 
 Association, and during the next three months the energy and exec- 
 utive ability of the members of that body, so distant from and yet so 
 near to their relatives and friends in Jacksonville, fully exemplified 
 the objects of the organization set forth above. 
 
 Time and space forbids a proper rei)resentation of the work per- 
 formed by the committee. It is even impracticable to give an out- 
 line of it, but the Executive Committee and the members of the 
 Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association fully appreciate its 
 sco]»e and thoroughness. 
 
 The policy of maintaining close communication between New 
 York and Jacksonville, suggested bv the committee, was followed

 •227 
 
 throughout the epidemic, and to it is due the harmony and co-opera- 
 tion which marked tliat trying time. :»Iany difficulties were smoothed 
 over, many obstacles removed, and many misunderstandings pre- 
 vented through the committee. 
 
 A look at the list of contributions, in another part of the book, 
 will show that New York City contributed nearly one-third of the 
 magnificent total for the yellow fever sufferers. To the New York 
 Committee is, undoubtedly, due a great deal of credit for this assist- 
 ance. Not that the money was obtained by solicitation, for this was 
 discouraged by the committee, as it was by the parent organization, 
 but that the public were kept posted as to the facts of the case ; were 
 informed of the needs of the sufferers, and how to promptly relieve 
 them ; were inspired with confidence in the good faith and integrity of 
 the members of the Association by the confidence in their good faith 
 -and integrity of its representatives in New York. The New York list, 
 however, contains some contributions from citizens of .lacksonville 
 which, had they been sent direct, would have increased the list in 
 the city and State most interested. 
 
 Not only in the amount f)f funds subscribed, but in the econom- 
 ical purchase and i)rorapt transportation of supplies, were the ser- 
 vices of the New York Committee invaluable. Instances could be 
 given of steamers being held to receive supplies purchased or do- 
 nated in an incredibly short time after tlie receipt of a telegraphic 
 requisition. 
 
 Beyond and above all other as.sistance to the Executive Commit- 
 tee was the hearty, constant and unwavering endorsement of its own 
 acts in New York City,

 ATLANTA, GA. 
 
 Jacksonville refugees were thick in Atlanta, a refuge having 
 been offered them by that hospitable city. Headquarters were es- 
 tablished at 20 Lloyd street, and, like other refugees, those in At- 
 lanta did their share in giv^ing information and forwarding funds and 
 supplies. Being near home, the refugees in Atlanta were alive to 
 the work of their less fortunately situated friends, and wariuly man- 
 ifested their approval or disapproval of the work in Jacksonville. 
 
 Wherever, during the fall of 18SS, Jacksonville refugees were 
 thrown together by force of circumstance; they clung together, gen- 
 erally, without formal organization, and did what their hands found 
 to do for Jacksonville. 
 
 COLORED AUXILIAKY HUKEAU. 
 
 The Colored Auxiliary Bureau was organized August 29, 1888, at 
 Jones' Hall, by leading colored citizens, for the purpose of assisting 
 in providing aid for the suffering people of Jacksonville during the 
 yellow fever epidemic, and especially to look after the interests of 
 the colored j^eople generally. 
 
 J. E. Sistrunk was elected President; Rev. B. Dilwortli, Vice- 
 President; William M. Artrell, Secretary; A. F. White, Assistant 
 Secretary; D. W. Onley, Treasurer. Executive Committee, D. W. 
 Onley, Chairman; Wm. M. Artrell, Secretary; A. R. Jones, W. A.. 
 Middleton, and Rev's. B. Dilworth, Jeffrey Grant and J. H. Welch. 
 
 On September 1st several members of the Executive Committee 
 of the Bureau were introduced to the Executive Committee of the 
 Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association, and Chairman D. W. 
 Onley stated that the members of their organization had associated 
 together for the purpose of active assistance to the Association, to 
 its Relief Committee, and in giving work to unemployed laborers; 
 and asked to be recognized aiul endorsed by the Association. 
 
 After remarks of appreciation by members of the Executive 
 Committee of the Association, the following resolution was unani- 
 mously adopted: 
 
 Resolved, That the Executive Committee of tlie Jacksonville 
 Auxiliary Sanitary Association accepts willingly and gratefully the
 
 AUXILIARY COMMITTEES. 229 
 
 tender of assistance by Mr. Onley, chairman of the Executive Com- 
 mittee of the Colored Auxiliary Bureau, organized by our colored 
 fellow-citizens, and that the chairman of the Executive Committee 
 be requested to be present at the daily meetings of this committee 
 for the purpose of conference. 
 
 The Executive Committee of the Association also requested the 
 chairman of the Committee on Relief to arrange for utilizing the ser- 
 vices of the members of the Bureau. 
 
 At a later day Chairman Loton M. Jones, of the Committee on 
 Relief, in making his report, stated that the Colored Auxiliary Bu- 
 i-eau, after consultation with the Committee on Relief, had been au- 
 thorized to appoint separate committees, who should report cases of 
 <listress to the organized sub-committees of the Jacksonville Auxili- 
 ary Sanitary Association, to assist in the proper distribution of aid, 
 which action was approved. 
 
 At a meeting of the Colored Auxiliary Bureau, on the 9th of Sep- 
 tember, a Constitution and a set of By-Laws were adopted, and the 
 following persons appointed as Committees on Relief: Joseph Jack- 
 son, Jackson Green, Joseph C. Williams, Rev. James Dras, Rev. Jef- 
 frey Grant, George A. Lewis, W. A. Middleton, Rev. G. W. Morant, 
 F. D. Littlejohn, S. W. Wade, John R. Love, A. C. Lightbourn, J. A. 
 Turner, Benjamin English, Daniel King, P. Bolden and A. C. Blount. 
 These members were assigned to work in the several districts, and 
 assisted greatly in ascertaining the needs of the jieople. Several of 
 this committee were afterwards permanently employed in the com- 
 missaries, rendering useful service. 
 
 Full power was vested by the Bureau in the Executive Commit- 
 tee to transact the business of the organization, and regular meet- 
 ings were held daily in Jones' Hall, the headquarters of the Bureau. 
 
 A soup kitchen was started by the Bureau, which proved such a 
 valuable aid to the sick that it was continued, on an extensive scale, 
 by the Central Relief Committee of the Auxiliary Association, of 
 which D. W. Onley, chairman of the Executive Committee of the 
 Bureau, had been made a member. 
 
 The work of the Bureau consisted in sui^plying such needy per- 
 sons as were overlooked, or not reached, by the Association Commit- 
 tee on Relief, and hundreds were helped in this way with food, cloth- 
 ing, blankets, shoes, wood, oil, medicines and nurses, from the funds 
 contributed direct, in small amounts, to the Bureau, and by assist- 
 ance from the Association. 
 
 The total amount of moneys received from various sources, ac- 
 cording to the report of the Bureau in December, was $891.96. The 
 amount spent for relief purposes, ."e;641.71. Balance on hand, $2.50.2.5.

 At a meetinf; of tlie Executive Committee, on the •28tli of Decem- 
 ber, the folh>win^- preamble and resolutions, ottered by Wm. M. Ar- 
 trell, Secretary, were, on motion, unanimously adoi)ted: 
 
 WuEKEAS, The work accomplished l)y this Bureau, during the 
 late epidemic, having demon.strated the fact that a permanent insti- 
 tution of this kind is greatly needed here. 
 
 He.sohy^fl, That the Colored Auxiliary Bureau be permanently 
 organized, and be known hereafter as the Colored IJelief Bureau of 
 .Iackso\iville, having for its object the relief »)f suffering humanity, 
 the providing for the aged and infirm, and tiie care and educational 
 and industrial training of the youths of this city, who are without 
 proper guardians and protectors. 
 
 Bf'SdlrpiJ. That an appeal be made to the friends of the race for 
 funds, with a view to purchasing a suitable site, and the erection 
 thereon of proper buildings, to carry out the above object; and an 
 invitation be extended to the friends of the cause, generally, to be- 
 come members of the institution. 
 
 The entrance fee is fifty cents, and the annual dues one dollar. 
 Headquarters at Lancaster Hall. 
 
 The Bureau continued its work of rendering aid to those who 
 were sufl'ering from the effects of the fever, principally in providing 
 clothing for poor boys, to enable them to attend the public schools 
 after the close of the epidemic. 
 
 It would be almost impossible to overrate the practical value of 
 the Colored Auxiliary Bureau as an aid to the Association. The 
 members of the organization were fortunate in their selection of 
 officers. Some of the best suggestions offered to solve the problems 
 of relief, sanitation and labor, continually before the Executive Com- 
 mittee of the Association, originated with the officers of the Bureau. 
 Their assistance in the execution of plans to provide for the needs 
 of the poorer classes was rendered cheerfully, intelligently and ef- 
 fectively. 
 
 The inriuence of the Bureau in (quieting tlireatenetl troubles from 
 the laboring element of the city's population was considerable. 
 
 Good order, and freedom from misdemeanors and petty crimes, 
 was preserved during the entire prevalence of the ejudemic, in the 
 city and suburbs to a most gratifying extent; in fact, much better 
 than usual, and the good influence of the Colore<l Auxiliary Bureau 
 upon the colored people was largely instrumental in assisting to ef- 
 fect this condition. 
 
 The resident colored population, as a whole, are entitled to com- 
 mendation for general temperance and good order. It was, undoubt- 
 edly, true that there were several hundred men, a large proportion 
 colored, wlu) came to the city from different jjortions of the State for
 
 AUXILIARY c;OMMlTTEES. 23t 
 
 free rations. This floating population was mainly composed of 
 tramjjs and loafers, and, at times, it is, undoubtedly, true that they 
 attempted to create dissatisfaction among the laboring element, and 
 promote discord and trouble. To the credit of the better class of 
 colored citizens, and especially the Colored Auxiliary Bureau, be it 
 said that temporary difficulties weie harmoniously adjusted, and the 
 fair name of the city for good order was preserved untarnished 
 throughout the whole epidemic.
 
 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 Throughout the epidemic, the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary 
 Association furnished relief in money and supplies to sister commu- 
 nities where yellow fever prevailed. 
 
 At the outset, this assistance was voluntarily proffered by the 
 Executive Committee; later, tlie relief given was due, in some part, 
 to the expressed wishes of several of the large contributors tliat the 
 Association should investigate the needs of other places requesting 
 aid, and render such assistance as each individual case demanded. 
 
 The members of the Committee were quick to perceive that such 
 a responsibility, in addition to the local burdens, must prove oner- 
 ous, and moreover, render the Committee liable to uncharitable 
 -criticisms from other communities in the State. The duty was 
 finally assumed by the Committee, under pressure, as one that could 
 not properly be shii-ked, when the generous donors of funds insisted 
 it must be undertaken. A careful, conscientious distribution was 
 attempted, therefore, by the Committee, and in the midst of the 
 darkest days in Jacksonville, the same care was taken to afford 
 proper relief to Macclenny and Sanderson, and other places, the same 
 scrutiny was observed to prevent imposition and an improper use of 
 funds, that was always observed in the case of Jacksonville. In a 
 few cases the donor reque;5ted a whole, or a part of a contribution 
 to be specifically distributed, and care was exercised by the Commit- 
 tee, in all cases, to promptly execute such wishes, but such cases 
 were rare. 
 
 It is not possible to give, in detail, all the facts relating to the 
 work of the Executive Committee in connection with these sister 
 communities, but it cannot fail to be of general interest to learn 
 something of the charity extended to all yellow fever sufferers, the 
 condition of the different localities applying for help, and the meth- 
 ods of the trustees of the funds, for ascertaining and affording relief. 
 
 MACCLENNY. 
 
 The first report of yellow fever in Macclenny was the announce- 
 ment, in a local paper September 7th, that the Board of Health had 
 been advised of eighteen cases. The report was vei-ifled in a few 
 days, by the investigation of Dr. J. L. Posey, under the direction of 
 Surgeon-General Hamilton. So soon as it appeared that the situa- 
 tion in Macclenny Avas serious, the Executive Committee acted by 
 unanimously adopting the following i*esolution, September 12th: 
 
 Besoli-ed, That in this, our hour of trouble, our sympathy goes 
 out to the people of Macclenny, who, we learn with regret, are also 
 suffering from the effects of the yellow fever.
 
 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 233 
 
 Resolved, That our Conference Committee be charged Avith the 
 duty of communicating- with the authorities of Macclenny and ascer- 
 tain their immediate needs, and report the same to the Committee 
 to-morrow. 
 
 A telegram was immediately received, requesting supplies and 
 stimulants for the sick, which were promptly dispatched through 
 tlie agency of the chairman of the Relief Committee. On the 15th, 
 in answer to President Daniel's message, "Please report your condi- 
 tion to-day, and your needs, so that we can help you," there came a 
 request for copperas, lime and disiufectants, together with a request 
 for funds to enable the town to be put in good sanitary condition. 
 Tlie disinfectants were sent the next day, with the message, "Let 
 us know liow much money you will need for immediate use, and we 
 will send it to-morrow. Put your men to work cleaning up. We 
 will send funds to pay them." 
 
 On the 18th came a telegram from Mayor Watkins, asking more 
 help. President Daniel, in reply, after acknowledging same, asked, 
 " Do you need money or supplies ? Send statement of what supplies 
 you need. We shall see that you are furnished." 
 
 In order to be able to better estimate the needs of Macclenny, 
 and pay otY proper bills for nurses, etc., on the 22d of September the 
 Executive Committee resolved to send a special agent, and so ad- 
 vi.sed Mayor Watkins. Two days later Dr. C. J. Kenworthy, as 
 agent, under instructions of the Association, went to Macclenny in 
 charge of a special train, carrying supplies and funds. 
 
 He paid bills aggregating S6it6.S5 in amount, mostly for nurses 
 and drugs, bringing back the original vouchers therefor. 
 
 Some dissatisfaction was expressed next day, in a telegram from 
 Mayor Watkins, that some nurses were not paid by Dr. Kenworthy, 
 and Acting President Mc(^uaid explained that the nurses who went 
 to Macclenny under the auspices of the Red Cross Association would 
 not be paid by the Association until it could be ascertained whether 
 this was expected by the Red Ci'oss. Further help was promised in 
 the same message, to be forwarded through agents. 
 
 On the 18th the following letter was received from Hon. Abram 
 S. Hewitt, New York, which clearly indicates Mayor Hewitt's confi- 
 dence in the Association by immediately transmitting the complaint 
 of one Wooding, and expressing his wish that the Executive Com- 
 mittee should act as trustees in distributing the funds; and his ap- 
 preciation of the course of the Executive Committee in volunteering 
 relief to other localities. The letter of Mr. Wooding, referred to by 
 Mayor Hewitt, was a letter of complaint, detailing the distress at 
 Macclenny, containing the allegation that proper relief was not fur- 
 nished, and the reqviest that funds might be sent to him direct, to 
 enable him to afford necessary relief.

 Mayor's Office, Xew York, September 25, 1888.. 
 J. J. Daniel, Esq., Jacksonville, Fla.: 
 
 My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of the 19tli inst.^ 
 reaffirming the brief telegram sent to me in regard to the distribu- 
 tion of the contributions which have been forwarded to you front 
 this city. I now enclose a letter which I have received by this mail 
 from Mr. J. W. Wooding, of Macclenny, Fla., from which I infer 
 that your etforts to relieve Macclenny have not been very effective.. 
 I have written to Mr. Wooding, giving him the substance of your 
 letter, and requesting him to apply to you for such relief as may be 
 needed, and assuring him that if I am notified that the funds under the 
 control of your committee are not sufficient to relieve the necessities- 
 of other localities I will make a further appeal to the public, which, 
 i have no doubt, will be generously responded to. So long, however, 
 as the funds under your control are sufficient, I do not feel justified 
 in making such an appeal ; but I will make it as soon as you tell me 
 it is necessary. In the meantime, I think it will not be wise to raise- 
 money for the separate localities, but to put the whole of it under 
 the control of the Jacksonville Committee, because you have an or^ 
 ganization, and the money would be wasted if it wex-e given miscel- 
 laneously to all applicants. I am glad to know that you fully appre- 
 ciate the necessity of this course, and that you are ready to divide- 
 with your neighbors in the same spirit in which the money is con- 
 tributed by your sympathizing fellow, countrymen at the North. 
 Sincerely yours, 
 
 Abram S. Hewitt, Mayor. 
 
 On October 2d Dr. Kenworthy, as agent of the Association, went 
 to Macclenny with a special train, carrying supplies and money to- 
 pay bills, with instructions to examine the town thoroughly, ascer- 
 tain the population and the number of cases of sickness, in order to in- 
 telligently judge of the actual distress, and estimate future calls for 
 relief. 
 
 Dr. Kenworthy had a rapid census of the population and the 
 number of cases of sickness and death taken; paid bills to the 
 amount of *l,7o4, bringing back the original vouchers approved by the- 
 local Relief Committee and Mayor, and also brought back bills from 
 local physicians, aggregating, at the rate of .$15 a day, si,235, and an; 
 itemized account for drugs, which he had not felt authorized to pay. 
 
 Dr. Kenworthy sent a message to Mr. Wooding, the author of 
 the letter of complaint to Mayor Hewitt, and read the letter to Mayor 
 Watkins and the Relief Committee of Macclenny, and in the presence 
 of those gentlemen accused Wooding, who lived in the country, of 
 misrepresentation and ignorance of the situation at Macclenny, and 
 what had been done to relieve the people there. The following let- 
 ters explain themselves : 
 
 Macclenny, Fla., October 3, 1888. 
 Dr. Chas. J. Kenworthy, Jacksonville, Fla.: 
 
 Dear Doctor : In reply to your request we beg to say that Mr.. 
 J. W. Wooding, the author of the letter to Hon. Abram Hewitt,. 
 Mayor of New York City, has not done anything to assist in reliev-
 
 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 235 
 
 ing the sick and distressed in this town or neigliborhood, and that 
 lie had no right or authority to ask for assistance from any source, 
 and that the representations made in his letter to Mayor Hewitt are, 
 in a great measure, untrue; and further, that the Jacksonville Re- 
 lief Committee has furnished this committee with all necessities, 
 asked for. 
 
 Yours very respectfully, j) j Watkins..

 To the Associated Press: 
 
 Mr. J. "W. Wooding, who writes and solicits help and assistance- 
 for yellow fever sufferers for Macclenny, Fla., is not authorized to 
 solicit or receive any help or assistance for our town. 
 
 D. J. Watkins, 
 
 Mayor. 
 
 The Executive Committee began to see in the case of Macclenny, 
 as, sooner or later, they found to be the case with almost all other 
 localities where they administered relief as trustees, that besides the 
 labor of passing on rcijuisitions, chartering special trains, promptly 
 obtaining supplies, selecting agents, examining bills, and other de- 
 tails, they must carefully guard against giving offense by anything- 
 that should seem to infringe on local dignity and independence. 
 The most scrupulous care was exercised to simply ask from other 
 communities the same scrutiny to prevent imposition or to curtail 
 expense that was exercised in .Jacksonville. Some feeling occasion- 
 ally arose, notwithstanding the attempts of the Executive Commit- 
 tee to ctirry good feeling into all its dealings with other localities, 
 so far as it did not interfere with a proper administration of its 
 trust, but in almost all cases the misunderstanding was soon cleared 
 up. The people of Macclenny frankly complained to the Executive 
 Committee, through Mayor AVatkins, of the actions of Dr. Ken- 
 worthy, piincipally upon three grounds, which may be considered 
 briefly seriatim : First, Dr. Kenworthy was charged with influencing 
 Dr. S. M. Gonzafez to leave the people of Macclenny. It is true that 
 Dr. Gonzalez was paid by Dr. Kenworthy on his first visit, and left 
 Macclenny, but, perhaps, no better denial is necessary than the fol- 
 lowing copy of a letter from that gentleman: 
 
 Camp Perry, September 28, 1888. 
 Dr. Kenifortlnj, Jark-sonvHle, Fla.: 
 
 Dear Sir — I wish you, as a gentleman of honor, to send me a 
 letter, stating that I requested you, as a favor, to take me to .Jack- 
 sonville from Macclenny. If you state to the contrary, you state 
 what is not so. I can prove it by every one in Macclenny, and I will 
 get a letter, signed by every responsible person in Macclenny, and 
 have it published.
 
 236 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 You nor Neal Mitchell had no power whatever over me, and you 
 know I told you I would not stay there for $100 per day. I sent a 
 letter to the Times-Union, asking them to print it, and referred them 
 to you in regard to it. It was not printed. 
 
 I don't want the people to think that you all sent me out here, 
 as you did the other doctors. 
 
 This is the thanks that I get for getting a train to carry you to 
 Baldwin, and also providing a nice place for you to stay at, and did 
 everything I could to make it pleasant for you, and to assist you in 
 every way I could the night you were paying olf. 
 
 And I can also prove that a lady told you I was the best doctor 
 there, and please not let me go off. I will have the whole thing pub- 
 lished, unless I hear from you. 
 
 Yours, 
 
 S. M. Gonzalez, M. D., 
 
 Camp Perry. 
 
 Second — Dr. Kenworthy received the credit for refusing to pay 
 local physicians at Macclenny, but, as a matter of fact, although the 
 Doctor did not recommend that the amount asked ( $15 per day ) should 
 be paid, he did advise that a "monetary honorarium," amounting to 
 $5 per day, be given. The Executive Committee, however, took a 
 view of the question which the following extract from a letter to 
 Mayor Watkins, by the Corresponding Secretary, of date October 9, 
 explains : 
 
 Jacksonville, Fla., October 9, 1888. 
 Hon. D. J. Watkins, Mayor (ind Chairman Belief Committee, Mac- 
 clenny, Fla.: 
 
 Deai{ Sik: 
 
 ******** 
 
 The Executive Committee has given this matter due consid- 
 eration, and directs me to write you their conclusion. The resi- 
 dent physicians of Jacksonville have attended the sick, and have 
 not, in any instance, requested that money be paid them for the woi'k 
 they have done here. They considered it was their duty to attend 
 to their neighbors who were unable to pay them, as well as those 
 who are able to pay for their services. The non-resident physicians 
 who have come here to help us during this epidemic, we have not 
 hesitated to pay fully for their services. We think our physicians 
 have acted as they should have done, and that even had they re- 
 quested us to pay them, we could not have done so out of the funds 
 which have been given to us for the suppression of the fever and the 
 relief of those in distress. And, therefoi-e, we do not think it would 
 be proper in us to devote this fund to pay for the services of the res- 
 ident physicians of Macclenny in attending their own people. Please 
 let us know your views. 
 
 Respectfully, 
 
 A. WiM. COCKKELL, JUX., 
 
 Acting Corresponding Secretary. 
 
 Third — The authorities of Macclenny took exceptions to the re- 
 port of Dr. Kenworthy upon the population of Macclenny. The Doc- 
 tor estimated the number of people in town^ and added: "A num-
 
 SISTER ( OMiMUXITIES. 237 
 
 ber of poor persons in the country surroiinding Macclenny are being 
 supplied with provisions from tlie commissary," bnt did not esti- 
 mate them; so that the number specified by him was not reported 
 as all of the population suffering from the epidemic and attended to 
 by the local committee. 
 
 Local quarantines had interrupted the train service in and out of 
 Jacksonville, so that it was necessary to charter a special train to 
 send any supjilies to Macclenny; and one object in seeking the num- 
 ber of population was to estimate necessary supplies, in order to 
 send at one time enough necessaries to last, say two weeks, and econo- 
 mize on transportation. The people of Macclenny did not look at 
 the matter in just the same light, as the following telegram, com- 
 bining indignation and business, indicates: 
 
 Macclenny, Fi>a., October 9, 1888. 
 P. McQimid : 
 
 We have within the sick district over five hundred people. We 
 liave in bed thirty-three people. We do not quite understand what 
 you mean by saying that the only object we have in trying to arrive 
 at your population was to estimate what would be needed to supply 
 the wants of your people. Now, we cannot vinderstand this to mean 
 anything else than that you intend to say just what we need and can 
 have, and if this understanding of your intention is correct, then we 
 will say, in advance of such iictiun, tliat we will not be treated in any 
 such way. We claim to be able to dispense the charities that are 
 sent to this i)lace. and hereafter we shall treat the Jacksonville As- 
 sociation just the same as we do any other charitably disposed asso- 
 ciation; that is. accept and acknowledge donations. We claim just 
 what we telegraphed you on Friday morning, that the census pub- 
 lished by the Times-Union is unjust, and, by not correcting it, you 
 are placing us in a false position before the public. We are now 
 needing two boxes bacon, teii barrels Hour, five barrels meal, five 
 barrels grits, one barrel rice, two barrels Irish potatoes, two barrels 
 onions, one hundred pounds butter, two hundred pounds lard, one 
 sack coffee, two cases condensed milk, one barrel sugar, box lemons, 
 two gallons braiidv, two gallons whiskv, two gallons wine, and ice. 
 
 ■ D. J. Watkins, 
 Mayor and Chairman Relief Association. 
 
 A soothing reply was wired Mayor Watkins by Vice-President 
 Schumacher: 
 
 It has not been our intention to do you an injustice in the mat- 
 ter of census, and we think you overestimate the effect of the publi- 
 cation of the report of our Special Committee in that respect. 
 
 On the 15th of October Dr. Ken worthy again went to Macclenny, 
 and this time the Association was accused, not only of infiuencing 
 contributors not to send funds to Macclenny, but even of retaining 
 funds sent to Macclenny specifically. It must be understood that 
 Macclenny had at the outset appealed for aid. The Association had, 
 for some time, in vain endeavored to ascertain the amount of money 
 which had been received by them as a result, but had never attempted
 
 238 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 to check such direct contributions, although it may have replied, in 
 answer to inquiries, that it was doing what it could to furnish relief. 
 Under the circumstances, the following telegram of President Mc- 
 Quaid was, perhaps, not too strong: 
 
 Jacksoxville, Fla., October 16, 1888. 
 B. J. Watkins, Mayor, Macclenny, Fla.: 
 
 Dr. Kenworthy reports having visited you yesterday, and request- 
 ed your committee to make out a list of supplies needed and have it 
 ready for him by the time he returned from Sanderson, but that such 
 list was not furnished, although he again asked for it. It seems that 
 you feel that this committee has done you and your people some in- 
 justice. We would like to know what it is. Have we not sent you 
 all that you asked for, and requested you to advise us of your further 
 needs? I have informed you that this committee was requested by 
 the chief contributors of the funds in our hands to look after your 
 wants, and we assured you that we were willing to do so. You told 
 Dr. Kenworthy that you must know what the Relief Committee of 
 Jacksonville intend to do; that you must know something definite. 
 We have told you that we would furnish all necessary supplies, and 
 money to pay all legitimate bills, but you must inform us what you 
 want, else we cannot know how to serve you. I understand that 
 you said that large ai)propriations had been sent to us to be sent to 
 Macclenny, and that you have not received them. Such statement 
 is false. I see no way of arriving at a proper understanding with 
 you without a personal conference. Would you be willing to come 
 and see us? I think that we could fully satisfy you that it is our de- 
 sire to render you all the aid that you require. Please say if you will 
 agree to meet<ieither here or at some other place, and when you can 
 do so, and we will endeavor to arrange for a conference. 
 
 P. McQUAID, 
 
 President. 
 
 Mayor Watkins replied on the 17th making additional com- 
 plaints, which are embraced in President McQuaid's answer of the 
 18th, which telegi'am is published as being a condensed statement 
 of the facts from which misunderstandings arose from time to time : 
 
 Jacksonville, Fla., October 18, 1888. 
 D. J. Watkins, Mayor, Macclenny, Fla.: 
 
 This Association considered the bills of your local doctors, and 
 see no reason why they should be paid, when our own resident phy- 
 sicians are not being paid. The duty that all good citizens owe to 
 the cause of humanity in such calamities as these, it seems to us, 
 requires that the medical profession should lend their aid in their 
 proper capacity to relieve the suffering, as other citizens do who give 
 their time to measures of relief and other charitable work. On this 
 ground we decline to consider the bills of your local physicians. 
 We did not refuse to pay your dilig bills, but asked for a properly 
 itemized bill. When that is rendered, payment will be made. 
 
 Dr. Gonzalez begged to be removed from Macclenny, and stated 
 there were too many jjliysicians, and that he would not stop there 
 for one hundred dollars per day. Dr. Kenworthy paid him, and he 
 left, and was not removed, or influenced in leaving, by him.
 
 SISTER COMMUXITIES. 239 
 
 Dr. Kenwoithy reports you as saying that large appropria- 
 tions had been sent to Jacksonville from Northern and Western 
 •cities, to be sent to Macclenny, and that they had not been received, 
 and that you and the Relief Committee must know what the Relief 
 ■Committee of Jacksonville intended to do. I have characterized 
 this statement as utterly untrue, in my previous telegram. As to 
 what this Committee intends to do, I will state, as I have before 
 stated to you, that they intend to aid you. if you will state your 
 wants. We are the trustees of a large charity fund, and are charged 
 with using that fund to relieve actual distiess and suffering, caused 
 by yellow fever. The obligation is imposed on us to ascertain the 
 "svants of afflicted communities, and render such charitable aid as we 
 find necessary. We are not to sijuander this money. Dr. Ken- 
 Avorthy afforded you ample opportunities to furnish him with a list 
 of such supplies as were necessary, and it is not our fault, or his, 
 that we do not know your wants, but it appears that time was occu- 
 pied in discussing the actions of this Committee, until time for de- 
 parture of the train had arrived, when Dr. Kenworthy had to leave. 
 Dr. Kenworthy is the Health Officer of this city, and visited you at 
 the request of this Association and was charged with specific duties. 
 As to the statement that Dr. Kenworthy took two Jacksonville po- 
 lice with him for protection, it is not the fact. Tliey wore two sani- 
 tary inspectors to aid him in examining the condition of your town. 
 Wliat he said in Sanderson was, that when he suggested the ad- 
 visability of stopping commissary supplies, aiul requiring colored 
 l)eople to work on the road, that they were indignant, and by their 
 actions showed their disapproval of the suggestion, and assumed a 
 menacing attitude. I have suggested to you a conference. Your 
 recent communications show a decided want of appreciation of our 
 desire to help you, and it seems to tliis Committee that the attacks 
 you are making on us are unwarranted. We cannot condescend to 
 argue any further on the basis y<ni have selected. If you decline a 
 •conference with us, we have nothing to say. We are busily engaged 
 in attending to the wants of our own people, and have not time to go 
 and see you, and we think that it would clear up matters very much 
 if you could come and see us. We are friendly disposed, and will- 
 ing to aid you, but you must not accuse us unjustly, or state what 
 is not borne out by the facts. You have received considerable 
 money from other sources. We have asked you to state liow much, 
 and you have not done so. We again say that we ought to know, so 
 as to judge of what aid should be sent you from here. It is our 
 opinion that work should be furnished to the indigent poor who are 
 able to work, and yet unable to support tliemselves without it. We 
 are adopting that course in this city, but employ no one in work of 
 this character but indigent persons. You must state definitely to 
 us your wants, how many destitute people have to be provided for, 
 3iow many laborers you propose to employ, what wages per day you 
 propose to pay them, and, in fact, give us a correct statement of 
 your condition, before we can authorize you to employ men at our 
 •expense.

 The following is Mayor Watkins' reply: 
 
 Macci.enny, Fla., October 19, 1888. 
 P. McQuaid : 
 
 As stated in my last telegram, we are perfectly willing to meet 
 you, and are anxious to settle this matter with you, but do not see 
 any necessity for it. We see no reason why our differences cannot 
 be settled by wire, if at all. The position you take as regards your 
 authoi'ity over us, we will not submit to. We stated our position on 
 this matter in our telegram of the 9th instant fully. You may re- 
 member that yoii offered us assistance, and that by announcing to 
 the public that you would j^rovide for us you cut us off from receiv- 
 ing contributions from abroad. We did not accuse your Committee 
 to Dr. Kenworthy. We did accuse him, and he made statements to 
 us that we know to be untrue. We withdraw the local doctor bills, 
 and request that you return them to us. We need two thousand 
 dollars at ojice. 
 
 I). .J. Watkins, 
 
 Mayor, 
 
 On Sunday, October 21st, Messrs. Barrs and Pearce, representa- 
 tives from Macclenny, came to Jacksonville and held a conference 
 with President McQuaid and other members of the Association. 
 The personal conference undoubtedly bore good fruit. The points 
 of difference were thoroughly discussed, and the representatives 
 from Macclenny, in the main, accepted the position of the Associa- 
 tion, past and present, as correct. President McQuaid stated that 
 contributors had been quite properly asking for a financial state- 
 ment of receipts and disbursements, with an estimate of future ex- 
 penses, and it was desirable to obtain from Macclenny: 1st, their 
 estimate of popidation, and number of sick and needy poor; 2d, the 
 amount of funds which had been obtained from outside sources; 3d, 
 an estimate of amount of supplies needed in future, the number of 
 nurses to be provided for, and cost of supplying indigent population. 
 'J'he representatives stated there were about .500 sick and indigent to 
 be taken care of, and i^romised to send the other required informa- 
 tion at an early date, and general discussion was had as to the em- 
 ployment of labor, the matter of nurses, and the necessary amount 
 and transportation of supplies. It was finally decided to work indi- 
 gent men, allowing them to receive .$1.00 per day in supplies, or 75 
 cents in cash, to send special train of supplies every two weeks for 
 500 people, and to dismiss all professional nurses, with the exception 
 of one head nurse, and retain the services of Red Cross nurses, 
 under pay of their Associati(m, and four or five local nurses at small 
 pay, and the Association agreed to be responsible for the expense 
 involved, and to send agent with sui^plies to audit and pay bills re- 
 sulting from this understanding, but that no otlier expense should 
 be incurred, except for drugs and cases of emergency. While there 
 was no written agreement at tlie conference, the lesults were gen-

 erally understood by all parties. There was still some discussion, 
 which arose later, as to nurses and employment of labor, but it is 
 hardly necessary to take up space for the discussion of these ques- 
 tions. The Association followed out the agreements of the confer- 
 ence pretty strictly, with the exception of some concessions in favor 
 of Macclenny, on account of increased sickness. 
 
 It goes without saying that the Executive Committee received 
 some complaints against the Relief Committee of Macclenny, and 
 especially pathetic was the following communication received soon 
 after the idle poor were, upon suggestion of the Association, put to 
 work in Macclenny:

 On October 2")th Acting Mayor D. T. (Jerow, as tlie agent of the 
 Association, went to Macclenny with supplies, expended 81,450, re- 
 turning approved bills for same. Mayor Gerow rei)orted that tlie 
 people of INEacclenny then appreciated the work tlie committee was 
 doing for them, and also that the following funds liad 1»et'n received:

 Captain W. C. Cooper went to Macclenny as a representative of 
 the Association on November (ith, paid bills amoiuiting to over $()»)(),. 
 brought back vouchers and some bills he had, under his instruc- 
 tions, disallowed, and reported that, so far as he was able to judge, 
 there was not much destitution or sickness then in Macclenny. A 
 large requisition came on the 19th, and as the funds of the Associa- 
 tion were greatly reduced, the Association retjuested a ])ersonal ion-
 
 "242 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 ference with Mayor Watkins before acting on the same. Mayor Wat- 
 kins and Mr. McClenny came to Jacksonville on the 28d, and had a 
 ■conference with the Executive Committee. The committee discussed 
 the financial condition of the Association with the representatives at 
 length, and inquired into the situation at Macclenny and the wants 
 of the people. In response to an inquiry Mayor Watkins said, or at 
 least intimated, that no assistance in the nature of State or county 
 aid had been received at Macclenny. The committee finally decided, 
 instead of supplies, to pay $400 to Mayor Watkins, to be disbursed 
 at his discretion. Seventy dollars was appropriated for payment of 
 nurses, and the committee agreed to settle with a physician at Mac- 
 ■clenny, about whose pay there had been some discussion, at the same 
 time notifying the gentlemen nothing further could be exjjected from 
 the Association, except possibly for the payment of nurses and med- 
 icines. The representatives from Macclenny seemed to be satisfied, 
 or, at least expressed it, they were "glad to take what they could 
 get." It was afterwards reported to the committee that Mayor Wat- 
 kins cashed a draft from Governor E. A. Perry the same day for $500, 
 which His Excellency had sent out of special funds in his hands. 
 
 Such is a brief history of the relations between the Association 
 and the people of Macclenny. Throughout the epidemic, as stated 
 before, amid the innumerable demands of all sorts upon the Execu- 
 tive Committee at home, it conscientiously endeavored to carry out 
 the duty imposed upon it faithfully. A perfect appreciation of 
 the responsibility involved can hardly be expected; proper credit 
 for work and earnest attempt to do right should be given.

 clenny in funds and in sujiplies, furnished at cost wrices:

 SISTER COMMUNITIKS. 243 
 
 SAXDERSON. 
 
 The town of Sanderson may be considered next in order, both 
 because the request for aid came next in point of time, and also be- 
 ■cause tlie case of Sanderson liad many points of similarity to Mac- 
 •clenny, and the same general plan was adopted to afford relief to her 
 people. 
 
 The first intimation of the prevalence of yellow fever in Sander- 
 son was a newspaper report, published September 27th, of sickness 
 in the family of F. J. Pons. Three days later Mr. Pons wired Presi- 
 dent McQuaid for a physician and nurse. It is hardly necessary to 
 €nter into minute details of the work of the Executive Committee in 
 the case of Sanderson. The Association promptly responded to the 
 •call upon them, the next day, by sending a physician and nurse. La- 
 ter came an appeal for a clergyman, and the request that the Asso- 
 ciation would carry out its suggestion, to send Dr. Kenworthy to 
 Sanderson, on his visit to Macclenny, to ascertain the needs of San- 
 derson. 
 
 There was some difficulty experienced in promptly filling req- 
 uisitions for supplies, because of lack of transportation. Quar- 
 antine regulations prevented communication by regular train ser- 
 vice, and special transportation had to be arranged. President Mc- 
 ■Quaid mentioned this difficulty in a telegram to Mr. Pons, dated Oc- 
 tober 5th, explaining that the request of Sanderson for supplies came 
 too late to fill on the special train which had gone to Maccleiniy, and 
 suggested that Sanderson should apply to Macclenny. 
 
 On October 6th Mr. Pons sent thanks to the Association for help 
 tendered, and said he did not wish aid from Macclenny, but that aid 
 •was expected from Chicago. Four days later, however, Mr. Pons 
 wired President Mitchell, of the Board of Health, for the following 
 requisition: One case champagne, two gallons brandy, two gallons 
 whiskey, one case citrate magnesia, one tub butter, half dozen hams, 
 •one tub lard, one case condensed milk, one case soap, one case baking 
 powder, one case tomatoes, fifty pounds coffee, five pounds tea, one 
 barrel sugar, two hundred pounds bacon, five dozen lemons, three 
 barrels flour, three barrels grits, three barrels meal. 
 
 The requisition was filled, with some modifications. 
 
 On the 14th a letter from G. W. Wood, Secretary of the Pvclief 
 Committee, explained the general needs of Sanderson : 
 
 Saxdersox, October 14, 1888. 
 Jas. M. Schiimaclier, Esq., Vice-President Executive Committee, Jack- 
 sonville, Fla.: 
 Esteemed Sir — By order of our Relief Committee, I this day pe- 
 tition your honorable body, through you, in behalf of our indigent 
 people. We have refrained from making this appeal, but circum- 
 stances force us to it. We can expect no succor from outside, for it
 
 244 SISTER COMMUXITIES. 
 
 all flows to Jacksonville. We make no comments, for this is proper, 
 as Jacksonville is endeavoring to alleviate suffering outside. Again, 
 another instance in our favor, when your people became aware of the 
 encroachment of the present scourge in your midst, and knew not 
 where to flee, generous Sanderson placed no quarantine restrictions 
 against you, but invited all, and accommodated many of your refu- 
 gees. We feel confident that our community would have been 
 spai-ed, were it not for unfortunate Macclenny. Our citizens passing 
 to and fro, attending to business, occasioned what could not be pre- 
 vented. 
 
 To the present writing there have developed thirteen cases of 
 fever here, and two deaths. Were the cases fewer in number it 
 would produce the same distress that exists. Business is prostrated, 
 our indigent people, white and colored, are quarantined on all sides; 
 they must be provided for. We hope it will only be for a very short 
 while. In consequence we appeal to your committee for assistance. 
 We need provisions, say for 150 people, and some very destitute 
 cases. 
 
 We trust that you will heed our appeal, as the case is urgent. 
 Wliatever is forwarded consign to Piclief Committee, as this is the 
 proper mode for a popular distribution. 
 
 Yours very respectfully, 
 
 G. W. Wood, 
 Secretary Relief Committee. 
 
 Difficulty in transportation was again experienced, and the Ex- 
 ecutive Committee tried to impress that point upon the authorities 
 in Sanderson. The Executive Committee suggested that sister com- 
 munities follow the example of .Jacksonville in working able-bodied 
 men and boys, rather than issuing free rations to them ; and to their 
 credit, be it said, this view was generally cheerfully adopted. 
 
 The following telegrams will illustrate the suggestions of the 
 Executive Committee: 
 
 Jacksonville. October 10, 1888. 
 F. J. Pons, Jr., Cltdlnimn Relirf Comnufti'C, Sandfrson, Flu.: 
 
 You have the option of affording relief through the employment 
 of the twenty-five men at one dollar per day for ten days, or we will 
 send rations for one hundred and fifty persons for same length of 
 time, together with goods ordered in telegram of loth, as soon as 
 transportation can be obtained. Please advise us whicli you prefer. 
 We had the goods already to send, but will hold them, awaiting your 
 reply to this. Think employment of labor is the best way of fur- 
 nishing relief, and if you so decide, will furuish the money to i)ay 
 them, as requested. P. M( Quaid, 
 
 President. 
 
 Jacksonville, October 17, 1888. 
 F. J. Pou.t, Jr., Chairman Belief Comndttee, Sanderson, Fla.: 
 
 Have several telegrams from you to-day, which are a little con- 
 fusing. We have chartered special train to leave here this evening 
 or to-morrow morning, by which will send you the supi)lies ordered 
 in your telegram of 10th, and have added ten sacks of lime. Don't 
 know what vou want with disinfectants for streets. Lime answers
 
 SISTKR COMMUNITIES. 245 
 
 that purpose, and is what we use. AVill send two hundred dollars in 
 money by conductor of train, if he will undertake to convey it to 
 you. This is to pay for labor. It must be understood that labor is 
 only given to those who are destitute, and as a means of relief, to 
 ■enable them to support their families, which would otherwise have 
 to be fed on rations. We do not pay over one dollar and a half per 
 •day for foremen, and you must not pay more. We charge those to 
 Avhom labor is given with the price of the tools, and deduct out of 
 tlieir wages, and recommend tliat you do likewise. Kender us vouch- 
 ■ers for the money exi)euded. We will sui)ply such aid as your situa- 
 tion recpiires, but you must understand that we cannot send you sup- 
 l)lies without chartering a special train, which costs twenty-five dol- 
 lars extra, in addition to freight on the goods. You must, there- 
 fore, look ahead, and supply us with full particulars of your wants, 
 and a list of such goods as you need, and we will endeavor to send 
 them, ^dvise me if you receive the money, and if all is satisfactory. 
 
 P. MCQUAID, 
 
 President. 
 
 The authorities of Sanderson requested permission to buy sup- 
 plies of local merchants, but the Executive Committee declined to 
 give such permission as the basis for a general rule, because sup- 
 plies were purchased by the Association at wholesale rates, where 
 they could be procured cheapest, without charge for transportation. 
 After such explanation, this view was accepted by Sanderson. There 
 were some exceptions made for necessaries which had been omitted 
 in requisitions, and labor was paid in cash, so that the merchants of 
 Sanderson were not overlooked ; but the general plan of sending sup- 
 plies, instead of money, from Jacksonville was folh)wed. Supplies 
 were sent, as in the case of Macclenny, by a special agent, who aud- 
 ited and paid such bills as were proper, delivered the supplies, and 
 ascertained the needs, and reported the views of the community 
 from direct contact with its representative men. 
 
 The relations of the Executive Committee and Sanderson contin- 
 ued to be pleasant. The local Relief Committee in that place made 
 complaint about short weights in supplies sent, which matter was 
 adjusted, and the committee received complaints fi-om one or two 
 persons in Sanderson against the authorities, of which the authori- 
 ties were promptly notified. 
 
 On November lath the financial state of the Association and the 
 condition of Sanderson were such that the Executive Committee felt 
 compelled to cut down expenses, and President McQuaid sent the 
 following telegranr : 
 
 Jacksonville, November 5, 1S8S. 
 F. J. Pons, Jr., Sanderson, Fla.: 
 
 Bills for labor and order for goods to hand. Will forward Wed- 
 nesday or Thursday. After this you will not employ any labor on 
 account of this Committee. We will not have the money to pay. 
 The goods you have ordered will be, I siippose, sufificient to last you 
 two weeks, and you will have to get along witli that. A^^e are run-
 
 246 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 iiing out of money, and cannot do any better. Therefore, do not 
 conti-act any bills expecting this Association to pay. We are com- 
 pelled to do this for want of money. 
 
 P. McQuAiD, 
 
 President. 
 
 The gentlemen addressed accepted the situation gracefully. Mr. 
 Woods, in his letter of 10th of November, said that the people of 
 Sanderson had met on the .5tli and voted to ask no further aid after 
 the requisition for tvs^o weeks' supplies should be filled. Mr. Woods' 
 words, in answer to the complaints above noted, touched a sympa- 
 thetic chord in the breasts of the members of the Executive Commit- 
 tee: 
 
 "As to the letter from a responsible man of this town, making 
 complaints, are you surprised at receiving a letter of this nature, or 
 at least half a dozen of them ? Are you surprised to hear the dissat- 
 isfaction in Jacksonville, and outside, too. of many that are discon- 
 tent with the action of your committee, when you are devoting your 
 entire time to public benefit '? This is the way we all get treated for 
 whatever we may do for others. Our town has very few business 
 men, and if the party has used a charge that is legitimate, and he is 
 a responsible person, he certainly has no objection to have his name 
 sent this committee. We have a vast amount of complaints in the 
 country, because the people do not understand that relief is to be 
 given those of our town, and not all over the coiinty. No doubt you 
 understand this, as you may have the same to contend with." 
 
 With the exception of relief sent in one or two individual cases,, 
 this was practically the termination of the work of the Committee 
 in refei'ence to Sanderson.

 son in money ai>d supplies :

 FERNANDINA. 
 
 On September 24th, the Board of Health of Nassau County an- 
 nounced the existence of yellow fever in Fernandina. Two nurses 
 were sent by special train by the local Board of Health from Jack- 
 sonville. 
 
 On the 29th the Executive Committee received a message from; 
 the New Y»rk Committee advising them of the receipt of a telegram
 
 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 24T 
 
 saying Fernandina needed nurses, money and supplies, and inquir- 
 ing if Jacksonville was informed of tlie needs of Fernandina and 
 could supply them. It appeared, on inquiry, that the telegraph 
 operator at Fernandina had been taken sick, and Superintendent Dil- 
 lon of the Western Union Telegraijh Company, stated that he had 
 immediately offered to supply his place with an operator from Jack- 
 sonville, but had been notified not to send him, as the effect would 
 be bad upon Fernandina people. The only operator remaining in 
 the town was a railroad ojierator, to whom the Superintendent did 
 not care to entrust the business of the Company. Mr. Dillon said 
 that he had consented, the previous day, to send an appeal for aid 
 for the authorities hi Fernandina, but had notified them he could 
 not i)ermit further use of the wire until one of his operators should 
 be put in charge. The Executive Committee advised New York of 
 the situation, and promised to assist Fernandina as soon as possible 
 The next day a telegram was received from the Chairman, of which 
 a portion is quoted to illustrate the views of New York contributors,, 
 frequently referred to in this report: 
 
 Xew York, October 1, 1888.. 
 P. McQuaid, President Auxiliary Belief Committee, Jacksonville : 
 
 Your telegram, pertaining to aid for Fernandina, received. An 
 appeal has been sent by the Mayor of Fernandina to Mayor Hewitt 
 for assistance there. The Mayor called upon us this morning to as- 
 certain what we knew of the situation. He had received various^ 
 conflicting reports, embracing Jacksonville, Macclenny and Fernan- 
 dina. I showed him your telegram, and explained that there was no- 
 direct telegraphic communication with Fernandina, and we, as well 
 as gentlemen from that city, were ignorant of the actual situation. 
 The Mayor directed that one thousand dollars' worth of supjilies be 
 purchased and forwarded to Fernandina at once, for which he will 
 pay from funds in his hands. Tliey will be sent to-morrow. This, 
 pending future information. 
 
 Joseph H. Durkee, 
 
 Chairman Committee. 
 
 On October 1st communication to Fernandina was announced 
 by Superintendent Dillon to be re-established, and the Executive- 
 Committee wired the Board of Health as follows: 
 
 Jacksonville, October 1, 1888. 
 H. E. Dotterer, President Board of Health, Fernandina Fla.: 
 
 I am directed by our Executive Committee to ascertain what 
 your immediate needs are, and to say that we will gladly render you 
 what assistance may be in our power to relieve your immediate ne- 
 cessities. Do you want any nurses ? If supplies of any kind are 
 needed, please wire us fully. We sympathize with you in your 
 affliction, and hope that you may be able to stay the progress of tli© 
 disease. P. McQuaid, 
 
 Acting President.
 
 1248 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 An answer was received, the same day, from President Dotterer : 
 
 Fekxandixa, October 1, 1888. 
 P. MrQiiahl: 
 
 Extend our grateful thanks to your Executive Committee for 
 sympathy and kindly otter of aid. The prompt and voluntary assist- 
 am-e of friends has already provided for our immediate wants. We 
 cordially reciprocate your kind expressions. 
 
 H. E. DOTTEREK, 
 
 President. 
 
 The Executive Committee iuteri^reted the message to mean that 
 assistance was not needed from Jacksonville, but on the 5tli of Octo- 
 ber came a request to publish the telegram, as Fernandina claimed a 
 wrong impression prevailed. The telegram was promptly published. 
 The same day a letter from Mayor Hewitt was received : 
 
 New York, October 1, 1888. 
 James 21. Sdiumarlier, Jisq,, Chdiniian : 
 
 Sir — Appeals are being made to me from Fernandina for relief. 
 1 am satisfied, by a conference with the committee here, that some- 
 thing ought to be done promptly, and, therefore, 1 have directed 
 that supplies to the amount of 81,000 shall be sent to Fernandina by 
 the steamer which leaves here to-morrow. I request that you will 
 at once confer with Mr. John Barr, the Mayor of Fernandina, in ref- 
 erence to their requirements, as I do not wish to have more than one 
 organization responsible for the money which has been raised in bhis 
 city for the relief of your suft'erers. In order that there may not be 
 unnecessary distress, I request that the conference may be promptly 
 held, and I have notified the Mayor of Fernandina that I have asked 
 your early action. 
 
 Yours respectfully, 
 
 Abram S. Hewitt, 
 
 Mayor. 
 
 As requested, the Executive Committee, through the President, 
 again wired Feinandina : 
 
 Jacksoxvilte, October 5, 1888. 
 Hon. John Bitrr, 2Iai/or, Fernandina : 
 
 Mayor Hewitt, of Xew York, requests that we should confer with 
 you as to your needs, and that our Association should undertake to 
 relieve them, if possible. We have already tendered our assistance 
 to the President of your Board of Health, and were told that you did 
 not need anything, and yet we understand appeals are made by your 
 city for relief. AVill you permit us to send to j'ou a special agent of 
 this Association to confer with you and the Board of Health and as- 
 certain the full extent of your wants, and report back to this Asso- 
 ciation, with the object in view of furnishing you such relief as your 
 necessities may require. 
 
 If this meets your views, can you arrange transportation from 
 your end? 
 
 P. McQuAiD, 
 Acting President.
 
 SISTEK COMMLNHIKS. 249 
 
 The reply of G. Starke reviewed the situation, and agreed to a 
 conference through an agent: 
 
 Feuxaxiiixa, October C, 1888. 
 P. ilcQuaid. Artln;/ President : 
 
 The people of Femandina, undoubtedly, need relief. If you will 
 read dispatch of our President of Board of Health, dated October 1st, 
 you will notice that we did not decline help, only immediate help. 
 It was natvirally assumed that Jacksonville needed all it received for 
 itself, and, as the mayors of all prominent cities to whom we applied, 
 as also Mr. Root, of Chicago, and other benevolent associations, had 
 signified a readiness to aid us. we believed that the relief bestowed 
 upon us, and promised, would be sufficient for our ptresent and jjos- 
 sible future wants. It now appears that the source of our relief, as 
 above indicated, has been, in a measure, stopped by a wrong inter- 
 pretation and meaning of our course, and by spreading abroad an 
 erroneous report of the state of our affairs and needs. If Mayor 
 Hewitt desires to assist us, we will gladly receive aid, as we shall, un- 
 doubtedly, need it. So far, we have received five thousand dollars. 
 This amount will not suffice for a population of near three thousand 
 for the next tAvo months. We are preventing indiscriminate inter- 
 course with our citA, but will issue pass for a special agent to confer 
 with us. 
 
 G. Starke, 
 
 Acting Mayor. 
 
 For several days mutual efforts were made to secure transporta- 
 tion for a representative of the Executive Committee to go to Fer- 
 nandina. The railroad officials could not run their tiains without 
 infringement of their adopted regulations, so that our agent could 
 return the same day, and it was difficult to find an acceptable repre- 
 sentative who could arrange to spend the night in Fernandina. 
 
 In the'meantime, advices from New York indicated that Fernan- 
 dina preferred to obtain aid direct from that place. Mayor Hewitt 
 sent temporary assistance, but seemed to prefer to act through the 
 Association at Jacksonville. The Executive Committee was very 
 willing to dispense with the further responsibility, and so indicated 
 its views to the New York Committee. The Executive Commit- 
 tee received information that aid would be sent direct to Fernan- 
 dina, in accordance with their suggestion, through the Fernandina 
 Xew York Committee, after endorsement by the New York Commit- 
 tee of the Association. 
 
 The Executive Committee, therefore, sent the following message 
 to Fernandina: 
 
 Jacksoxville, October 10, 1S8S. 
 
 John M. Barr, Mayor, Fernandina, Fla.: 
 
 Major J. H. Durkee, Chairman Florida Auxiliary Eelief Com- 
 mittee, ad\-ises us Miyor Hewitt, of New York, will send you funds 
 and supplies direct, through your New York Committee. Under 
 this arrangement we do not see that a conference is necessary, unless
 
 250 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 yoii wish it. If necessary for immediate purposes^ draw on us for 
 one tliousand dollars. 
 
 James M. .Schumacuek, 
 
 Yice-President. 
 
 At last, however, Fernandina still heing willing for and desirous- 
 of a conference, on October loth all arrangements were perfected,, 
 and Right Rev. E. G. Weed, armed with credentials from the Execu- 
 tive Committee, fully i^osted with a copy of all correspondence, and 
 protected by a pass from the health authorities of Fernandina, left 
 Jacksonville, by special train, to confer Avith them as to the needs 
 of Fernandina, and the ability of Jacksonville to provide for them.. 
 
 Bishop Weed, upon his return, reported a pleasant conference 
 and satisfactory understanding with the authorities of Fernandina;: 
 that the misunderstandings had been caused by communications, 
 to the Mayor, who was sick at his residence out of town, and the cor- 
 respondence was not received promptly, therefore, by the proper 
 persons ; that the Howard Association, of Fernandina, Avas thoroughly 
 organized. Bishop Weed reported little yellow fever,, but consider- 
 able destitution, and said the Howard Association would communi- 
 cate with the Executive Committee at an early date. 
 
 Upon the suggestion of Bishop Weed, the Executive Committee' 
 directed the President to remit $.5,000 to the Howard Association, to- 
 be expended under the direction of that Association jiending the re- 
 ceipt of official communications from its officers: 
 
 Jacksonville, October 1.5, 1888. 
 James Kydd, Esq., President Howard Association, Fernandina, Fla.r 
 Bishop Weed reported to our Executive Committee, this morn- 
 ing, his conference with you and the Board of Health, aud we are 
 gratified to know that the misunderstanding between us has been 
 cleared up. After Bishop Weed's report was made the Executive 
 Committee directed me to send you live thousand dollars, without 
 waiting for your letter and formal statement of your wants. This- 
 is an earnest of our desire to cordially render you the aid which 
 Bishop Weed reported you are now in need of. You will therefore- 
 please draw on J. M. Schumacher, Chairman Finance Committee, 
 for five thousand dollars, aud draft will be honored on presentation..

 Careful estimates, based upon our present population, show that 
 we shall require twenty thousand dollars to carry us through the 
 next six weeks. 
 
 For the ciirrent fortnight, ending Octol)er 20th, we require now 
 five thousand dollars cash to meet necessities not already provided 
 for. 
 
 Future requisitions for funds will be based upon the same esti- 
 mate of five thousand dollars per fortnight, from which we will de- 
 duct the amount of any fluids transmitted to us directly. 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 Egbert S. Sciiuyi.ek, 
 
 Secretary. 
 
 The Howard Association very gracefully acknowledged the re- 
 ceipt of the communication authorizing a draft of $5,000. The Ex- 
 ecutive Committee, upon the receipt of letter copied above, advised 
 the Howard Association it would rendei- aid, if possible, on the basis 
 proposed, namely, $5,000 every fortnight to the aggregate sum of 
 $20,000, less such amount as Fernandina miglit receive from outside 
 assistance. 
 
 On October 24th President McQuaid wired tlie Howard Associa- 
 tion as follows: 
 
 Jacksonville, October 24, 1888. 
 H. S. Scliu)/ler, Secretunj Howard Association, Fernamiina, Fla,: 
 
 I notice a telegraphic communication from you in to-day's Times- 
 Union which eiuls with the sentence, " Our cry is still for more funds 
 and iirovisions." Your letter to this Association stated that you es- 
 timated that twenty thousand dollars would carry you through until 
 December 1st, and that five tliousand dollars fortnightly would sup- 
 ply your wants; also, tliat any contributions received direct would 
 be dediu'ted from the amount of your estimate. This Association 
 voted to supply your needs to that extent. It might seem to tlie 
 public, from the (]uotation above referred to from your telegram, 
 tliat we were not doing so. We have not wished to advertise the fact 
 that we had agreed to provide for your wants as estimated, but we 
 would like to be placed in the proper light. If you desire to have 
 part provisions instead of money, we have a large stock provided for 
 our commissary department, which we would be glad to divide with 
 you if vou will secure the transportation. 
 
 P. McQi-Aii), 
 
 President. 
 
 In reply the Howard Association, through its Secretary, sent a 
 telegram and letter of explanation. The latter is here given as em- 
 bracing the matters covered also by the telegram: 
 
 Office Howakd Association of Feknandina, > 
 
 October 24, 1888. >' 
 P. McQuaiO, Esq., President Citizens^ Au.riliary Association, Jackson- 
 ville: 
 Dear Sir — Your telegram of this date is at hand. I have wired 
 you an explanation of the position, but deem it well to try and make 
 it more full by letter. I much regret that my dispatch to our com-
 
 252 SISTER COMMUXITIES. 
 
 mittee in New York should be misunderstood, or tliat our relative 
 positions should be misjudged. The announcement was, as you 
 state, that you were to honor our drafts for $5,000 fortnightly, less 
 amounts received from other sources, which, in other words, was a 
 guarantee to us of an income of $5,000 every two weeks, you making 
 lip the deficiency, to that amount, of our receipts. I certainly, and 
 I am confident that no member of the committee ever thought that 
 by it we were released from making any efforts to obtain assistance, 
 but, to the contrary, were in honor bound to make the requisition 
 upon the funds as light as possible. But since then the circum- 
 stances are much changed. The arrangements then made were based 
 upon estimated need of $3,000 per week. Individually, I did not agree 
 ia this estimate, and so told the Bishop at the conference; but, of 
 •course, submitted to the committee. Later developments have en- 
 larged our field of operations, both in number of those to be sup- 
 ported and the territory covered; so that our requirements are to- 
 day fully 50 per cent, greater than that estimate. This increased re- 
 quirement I have continually laid before the public in my dispatches 
 to the press, and to our committee in New York, in order tliat our 
 call for further aid might not be misunderstood. Every develop- 
 ment of the increased demand upon us I stated, and reiterated; so I 
 do not think that there can be any misconception upon the subject. 
 I have no doubt but that our committee will be obliged to ask of you 
 that the stipulation of deducting our receipts from the $5,000 be 
 waived. " More funds and more provisions"' will certainly have to 
 be obtained. A very careful census of the city shows a little over 
 45,000 dependent people. Our estimate was based upon between 
 2,000 and 2,500. These cannot be fed for less than $1.00 per head; 
 and now we find a large proportion of the neighboring country call- 
 ing, justly, upon our relief fund, and that with sickness spreading 
 among them. We must provide medical attendance, supiilies, and 
 nourishment and rations, adding several hundred to our list. I hope 
 I have not been so prolix as to fatigue you, but desired to place both 
 you and ourselves in the right light. 
 
 It is Avith much pain we learn of the illness of Bishop Weed. 
 Yery truly yours, 
 
 Robert S. Schuyler, 
 Secretary Howard Association. 
 
 The Executive Committee had in preparation, at the time of the 
 receipt of the foregoing letter, a financial statement of the affairs of 
 the Auxiliary Association, and an estimate of future expenses, based 
 on the agreement with Fernandina, and advised the Howard Asso- 
 ciation that the committee could not promise to do more than to 
 carry out the original understanding. 
 
 The following letter, under date of November 5th, was received 
 from the Howard Association: 
 
 Office Hoavakd Association of Fernandina,^ 
 
 November 5, 1888. J 
 P. McQuaid, Esq., President Citizens- Auxiliary Relief Association : 
 Dear Sir — The agreement between your Association and the 
 Howard of Fernandina was based upon an estimate made, at that 
 time, from very uncertain data, placing the number of population to 
 be cared for at about 2,000. A very careful census, taken since,
 
 SISTEK COMML'XITIES. 253 
 
 slioAvs the number to be 50 per cent, in excess of that number, and, 
 in addition thereto, large numbers liave fallen to our care in the out- 
 lying parts of the county, in portions of which considerable sickness 
 (fever) is reported. All of this calls for a very considerable greater 
 outlay than at first estimated. It is needless to discuss the point, 
 with any of your experience in the matter, as to the possibility of 
 maintaining a population of 0,500 to 4,000 peoi)le, besides caring for 
 the sick, medical attendance, nurses, nourishment for convalescents, 
 etc., on an expenditure of $2,500 per week. We know that we can- 
 not do it, and that we must have a larger income to keep our people 
 from suffering. We do not wish even to suggest adding anything 
 to your burden, which we recognize as sufficiently heavy; but we 
 can, by our individual efforts and influence, obtain other and direct 
 aid. And hence we ask of your committee that you will release us 
 from that portion of the agreement which provides for the deducting^ 
 of our direct receipts from the allowance from your funds. This, we 
 believe, will enalde us to provide for our necessities without increas- 
 ing our demands upon your funds, and, also, without making dupli- 
 cate and confusing calls upon the public. We desire to make our 
 efforts in a very (juiet manner, as the addition we need will not be 
 very large, if frftst gives us a timely relief. We desire to act in en- 
 tire harmony with your Association. 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 IvOBKKT S. Schuyler, 
 Secretary Howard Association of Fernandina, Fla. 
 
 President McQuaid exphiined the views of the Executive Com- 
 mittee in letter, dated November 8th : 
 
 Jacksonvii.i.k, Novembers, 1888. 
 Mr. Robert S. Scfiui/ler, Secretary Uowurd Association, Fernandina, 
 Florida : 
 
 Dear Sir — Your letter of the 5th inst. to hand, and was read 
 before the Executive Committee this morning. We note that your 
 original estimate was too low. When Bishop Weed returned he re- 
 ported that you estimated that you had ;!,000 people to feed. You 
 now state two thousand. At any rate, at an estimate of ;5,000 people 
 to feed, .$2,500 per week should be ami)le to sui)ply rations. We are 
 feeding here about S,00(), and the average ration per week costs not 
 over 75 cents, or say 80 cents at the outside, per week. 
 
 Now, in regard to the feeding people in the county, outside of 
 your city, we think that properly belongs to the County Commis- 
 sioners, if they are not suffering from yellow fever. Ovir Association 
 did, at one time, undertake to relieve distress in the country dis- 
 tricts, until we found that our money would not hold out, and we 
 have, in the last two weeks, refused to grant any assistance to any- 
 one living in the county not a bona _fide resident of this city, unless 
 they are suffering from yellow fever. We took this step for two rea- 
 sons: First, because the funds were contributed for the relief of 
 yellow fever sufferers, and as they were not suffering from yellow 
 fever, but simply from business stagnation, the effect of yellow fe- 
 ver, we did not think that the funds were pro^ierly applicable to 
 relief of such persons: and, secondly, the contributions having^ 
 almost ceased coming in, we found it necessary to reduce expenses, 
 and let these people be taken care of by the Board of County Com-
 
 254 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 missioners. Now, we suggest to you that you should do the same 
 thing. 
 
 In regard to your request to relieve you from that i^ortion of the 
 agreement which provides for the deducting of direct receipts from 
 the allowance we agreed to give you from our funds, I would say, as 
 the sense of the Committee, after considering the matter very fully, 
 that at the present time we are not sure that we will even be able to 
 carry out our agreement with you. We will do all we can, but we 
 find that we are getting very little, if any, addition to our funds, and 
 we have been called upon to aid Enterjirise, and Palmetto in Mana- 
 tee county, which we did not calculate on at the time we undertook 
 to relieve your needs, and the warm weather continuing the epi- 
 demic here longer than we expected, we feel now that our funds will 
 not be sufficient to carry us through to the end, and we can only say 
 to you that we will do what we can for you. We notice your appeals 
 for aid, and suppose you have received considerable from them; 
 hope so, at least. We may just as well let the matter stand as it is, 
 and let you get what you can from outside sources, because, as mat- 
 ters look now, we will not be able to give you over $5,000 more, and 
 in fact, I hoiie that will be enough, Avith the direct contributions you 
 are receiving, to carry you through. We are cutting down every- 
 thing here in the most rigid manner. The suffering among the poor 
 people is certainly not any less than it was in the middle of the epi- 
 demic, and cannot be much less until business is resumed, but we 
 are not feeding nearly as many people as we were. 
 
 Your last draft for $•■5,000 was paid, I think, on Monday. 
 
 I hope you will understand this explanation, and the spirit in 
 which it is made. We are not receding from anything we have 
 agreed to do, but we cannot, under the circumstances, undertake 
 additional responsibilities, and hope that frost will soon come to end 
 this period of sickness and suffering, and enable the people of our 
 respective cities to resume their usual avocations. 
 
 Yours trulv, 
 
 P. McQuAii), 
 
 President. 
 
 A delegation from Fernandina, consisting of President Kiddell 
 and Secretary Scuyler, of the Howard Association, had a conference 
 with the Executive Committee, on November ITth, in order to come 
 to a thorough understanding. The Fernandina representatives did 
 not come in any spirit of complaint, but desired to present their con- 
 dition and ask if any further assistance could be given them. They 
 said the resources of the Association were nearly exhausted, and 
 that their estimate had been too low; that -the amount of outside 
 contributions was not large, and that they desired the Executive 
 Committee to state just what it could do, so that any further neces- 
 sary funds might be obtained more easily outside. The finances of 
 the Auxiliary Association were frankly discussed with the visitors, 
 the whole matter carefully reviewed, and the Executive Committee 
 finally agreed to advance $3,000, this being considerably in excess of 
 the first undertaking, and the delegation accepted the amount, and
 
 SISTER COMMUXITIKS. 255 
 
 seemed satisfied that the Executive Committee had assisted Fernan- 
 'dina so far as its resources would permit. 
 
 Some complaints were received by the Executive Committee 
 against the Howard Association, and one letter from a prominent 
 firm, interested financially in Fernaudina, charged, about November 
 20th, that tlie true situation in Fernaudina was concealed, and that 
 no fever then existed. The Committee felt that an investigation 
 was demanded, for the sake of all concerned, to elicit the true facts 
 in the case. A copy of the letter was sent to the authorities in Fer- 
 naudina, and Dr. J. Y. Porter, Surgeon in charge of Government 
 Relief Measures, was asked to order an official investigation by the 
 Marine Hospital Service. The Howard Association forwarded copies 
 of letters from local physicians tending to show that fever still ex- 
 isted, and that their reports had not exaggerated the situation, and 
 the investigation of the Marine Hospital Service resulted similarly. 
 
 In the case of Fernaudina, an exception was made to the rule 
 which had been established by the Executive Committee in the 
 cases of all otlier localities to which assistance was extended, in that 
 the Executive Committee advanced funds without supervising their 
 expenditures, or requiring vouchers therefor. This action was due 
 to the fact before mentioned, that Fernaudina, in its " Howard Asso- 
 ciation," had an organization similar to the Jacksonville Auxiliary 
 Sanitary Association in its purposes and machinery. The represent- 
 atives of the former organizatioii, at their conference with tlie Ex- 
 ecutive Committee in Jacksonville, stated, in reference to inquiries, 
 that " Fernaudina would be glad to show a clean balance sheet at 
 the end of the epidemic." The Executive Committee would have 
 been glad to include in this report a financial statement of the How- 
 ard Association, both as a matter of general interest and because of 
 the relations of the two organizations, and. took action accordingly. 
 The following correspondence shows that the wishes of the Execu- 
 tive Committee were executed so far as could be doue: 
 
 December IS, 1888. 
 Mr. R. S. Srhiujler, Secretary Howard Association, Fernaudina, Fla.: 
 
 Dear Sir — The Executive Committee of this Association, by 
 resolution, on the 10th inst., appointed the undersigned its editor 
 to prepare and publish a report of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sani- 
 tary Association, covering the work of the Association through its 
 various committees and agents, during the epidemic. 
 
 The task of jireparing such a history, at once comprehensive 
 and brief, will undoubtedly be onerous, and it will be necessary for 
 the editor to have all data collected on or before January 1st, and 
 the various chairmen of committees and agents of this Association 
 have been notified to have full reports of their departments com- 
 pleted and ready for use on that date. 
 
 This report will devote a separate chapter to sister communi- 
 ties, with ^\hich i»laces the Association has been brought into close
 
 256 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 relations in the administration of relief during the epidemic, includ- 
 ing Macclenny, Sanderson, Enterprise, Manatee, etc. In tlie case of 
 all these places, except Fernandina, we have data here, as this Asso- 
 ciation was obliged to assume the responsibility of auditing the ac- 
 counts of these several places before funds were sent tliem. Our re- 
 lations with Fernandina were, as you know, entirely different, and 
 we were glad to be able to afford you some assistance by sending you 
 funds with which to give relief through your organized Howard As- 
 sociation. 
 
 It will be a matter of interest, both to the members of this As- 
 sociation and to the public, to obtain from you a statement of the 
 work accomplished by your Association on behalf of Fernandina, 
 together with a financial statement of your receipts and disburse- 
 ments, for publication in this report, and I have no hesitation in re- 
 questing froni you such statistics, remembering the views you ex- 
 pressed before the Executive Committee upon this point, during 
 your last visit here. 
 
 Trusting the Gate City has recovered from the effects of our 
 common disaster, and has already entered into an era of peace and 
 prosperity, I am

 Mr. Chas. S. Adams, Secretary J. A. S. A.: 
 
 Dear Sir — Your favor in relation to reports, etc., during epi- 
 demic is at hand. I am preparing a full and accurate report of the 
 proceedings of the Howard Association, which, I think, will meet all 
 your wishes, and shall take pleasure in furnishing you with a copy 
 as soon as completed; but I fear that it will not be by the 1st proxi- 
 mo, as many other duties will luake demands on my time, which 
 will prevent my completing it by that time.

 B. S. Schuyler, Esq., Secretary Howard Association, Fernanditut, Fla.r 
 Dear Sir — Upon my return from a short vacation, I found your 
 communication of December 2(ith, in reference to the requested state- 
 ment from the Howard Association of Fernandina. I find tliat, as in 
 most cases, the report of our own Association is delayed, and, un- 
 der instructions of the Executive Committee, I write to ascei'tain 
 the status of your report, and state that our Association very earn- 
 estly desires to embrace the statement prepared by you, so far as it 
 covers funds advanced by this Association, in our proposed report. 
 Will you kindly advise me if you will be able to furnish me such a 
 statement on or before February ist? as present indications lead me 
 to think that that date will l>e in ample time for our purpose.

 On Sejitember Hth yellow fever was reported in the newspapers 
 to have broken out in Gainesville among members of the Gainesville 
 Guards, who had recently returned from Fernandina, whither they 
 had been called to assist in preventing a riot. From time to time fa- 
 vorable announcements were made as to the cases of fever, but Mr. 
 Schumacher, of the Executive Committee, received the following^ 
 under date of October 1st, which explains itself, and is printed here, 
 as subsequent events changed its character from a personal to an 
 official or quasi-official communication: 
 
 Gainesville, Fla., October 1, 1888. 
 Mr. James M. Schionarher, Jacksonville, Fla.: 
 
 Dear Sir — Referring to the fever epidemic, and in obedience to 
 the wishes of the Board of Health at this place, I am writing you 
 this personal letter to explain our condition and wants. 
 
 Being threatened with an epidemic, which we are using our best 
 efforts to stamp out, we have succeeded in nearly depopulating the 
 place, and if we can keep the people out and away for a time, we 
 think we will be comparatively safe. 
 
 There is no business, and no work for any one; many are in 
 want, and suffering, and this state of affairs is increasing. We have 
 exhausted our means in supplj'ing the wants of the most destitute 
 and deserving, in a quiet way, and we now feel that we must ask for 
 help. If we do this in a pul)lic way, and if it is generally known 
 that supplies are here for the destitute, the colored, and, perhaps,, 
 white people also, will Hock into the city, some returning to their 
 homes, and many coming who do not belong here, induced to come 
 with a prospect of getting free rations. We wish to avoid this, for 
 the result will be that help will be extended to the'undeserving, and 
 the city will be repopulated, the entire labor of the Board of Health 
 undone ; and it may be the means of propagating the epidemic, which 
 we have good reason to hope we now have under control. 
 
 Can we not obtain some assistance through you in a ([uiet way? 
 If so, we think that a few hundred dollars will do more good than as. 
 many thousand if made public.
 
 ■258 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 It can be sent to the Board of Health, the receipt acknowlecloed ; 
 and Avhen all danger has passed, it can be acknowledged and f nlly 
 accounted for publicly. I hope you will understand the object of 
 this letter and give me an early reply. 
 
 Yery respectfidly yours, 
 
 H. F DUTTON, 
 
 Acting Mayor. 
 
 Mr. Schumacher, under instructions of the Executive Commit- 
 tee, inquired, October od, the same day the letter was received, by 
 wire, how much help Gainesville needed, and, on the next day, re- 
 •ceived the following answer: 
 
 Gainesville, October 3, 1888. 
 James M. Schnmacher^ (Jhalr man Finance Committee: 
 
 The pressure for help has so mci-eased that we must ask for help 
 publicly. Can you send by wire one thousand dollars, by request of 
 Board of Health. H. F. Button. 
 
 One thousand dollars was promptly sent to Acting Mayor But- 
 ton. 
 
 Major J. H. Burkee wired President McQuaid the views of Mayor 
 A. S. Hewitt in relation to Gainesville, October 2d, this view being 
 the same that has been repeatedly expressed l\v that gentleman in 
 speaking of other localities : 
 
 New Yoi:k, October 2, 1888. 
 P. MrQuavl, President Auxiliary Relief Committee, Jacksonville : 
 
 Another call from Mayor Hewitt this morning. He further di- 
 rects that five hundred dollars of supplies be sent to Gainesville for 
 sufferers there, and refugees at Arredondo. He has given me checks 
 to pay for these supplies and those oi'dered yesterday for Fernan- 
 dina. He is aware that communication is now open from Jackson- 
 ville to Fernandina by wire. He stated that he expects me to keep 
 him fully advised as to what Jacksonville did for adjoining commu- 
 nities, in money or supplies. He thinks best that money contributed 
 in aid of yellow fever sufferers in Florida should be disbursed 
 through one agency, that of Jacksonville. In special cases sums 
 may be sent by him direct, but he feels there should be one respon- 
 sible head for all Florida disbursements. He will retain some por- 
 tion of the contributions received by him, to pay such bills as he may 
 order contracted, and the balance will come to your committee. This 
 is the outcome of a conference at Mayor Hewitt's office this after- 
 noon. Mr. Thurber, of Thurber, Whyland & Co., accompanied me. 
 
 Joseph H. Bc^rkee, 
 Chairman Committee. 
 
 The telegram was soon followed by a letter from Mayor Hewitt:

 I have also received a letter from Mr. K. F. Taylor, of Gaines- 
 ville, explaining the destitution of the people of that city who have 
 scattered to other places in the neighborhood, and, being satisfied of
 
 SISTKR COMMUNITIES. 259 
 
 tlie truth of the s^tatemeut, T have directed *500 worth of stores to 
 he sent to Savaniiali. and theiioe by rail (lirectly to Gainesville. This 
 is intended for temporary relief: but I must re<iuest your committee 
 to investigate the wants of that locality, and to inform me whether 
 you will undertake to provide for the destitute there, and to what 
 extent stores shall be seut from here. The latter course may be nec- 
 essary, because, as I am inforn:ed, there is communication from Sa- 
 vannah, and none from Jacksonville, with Gainesville. I judge that 
 this matter requires immediate attention, as Mr. Taylor represents 
 the suffering from want of food to be in the nature of an impending 
 famine. 
 
 Yours respectfully,

 Mayor. 
 
 On receipt of this letter the Executive Committee, through Act- 
 ing President McQuaid, wire<l Mayor Button as follows, at the same 
 time notifying the llelief Committee in Xew York of its action: 
 
 Jacksoxviei.e, October ."), 1888. 
 Uo)i. II. F. iJutfoit, Minjor, Gdhiesville, Fla.: 
 
 Mayor Hewitt requests this Association tg investigate the wants 
 of your city, and provide for the relief of your people, if within our 
 power to do so. He advises us of having directed some stores 
 shipped you from Xew York for temporary relief, but seems to pre- 
 fer that relief should be afforded through this Association. I need 
 not assure you of our willingness to do everything in our power to 
 relieve your distress. That we may fully understand your wants, we 
 think it best to send a special agent to confer with you personally. 
 If this meets your views please advise us promptly, and say if you 
 can arrange for his transportation. 
 
 P. McQuAii), 
 
 Acting President. 
 
 Acting Mayor Button replied by letter October 8th : 
 
 Gaines vii.LE, Fea., October 8, 1888. 
 Hon. P. MrQnaid, Arthiu President, JarkfioiiviUe, Fla.: 
 
 Bear Sik — Your message of the 5th came to me same day, and 
 I am answering by mail, because I can do so more fully than by wire. 
 
 "Special Agent." The members of our Board of Health are 
 men of well established business habits, clear-headed, and unim- 
 peachable integrity. They know the wants of the people better than 
 any one else can, and could not be imposed upon. Neither would they 
 ask or accept from you, or from the public (that has been so gener- 
 ous to Jacksonville in its great attiiction), more than the necessities 
 of the occasion demanded. 
 
 I am, therefore, quite sure that if a special agent was sent from 
 Jacksonville to dictate to them, or even advise with them, in matters 
 that they know all about, and the agent nothiirg, they would con- 
 sider it a rertection on their judgment or integrity, and very i^roperly 
 resent it out of a due sense of their self-respect. With this view of 
 the matter, which I trust on reflection you will agree with me is cor- 
 rect, I must decline to receive aid under the conditions named, for 
 even in adversity it is not wise to sacrifice our independence; be- 
 sides, we think we have the fever under control, and could not per-
 
 260 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 mit an agent to come to this city from Jacksonville, lest the infection 
 might be conveyed, and so a new focus for the disease established. 
 I will add that both our Board of Health and City Council are in 
 accord in thinking that a promiscuous distribution of alms is against 
 good public policy, detrimental to good morals, as well as demoral- 
 izing to a community. 
 
 We are, therefore, making every effort to obtain some kind of 
 labor for the unemployed, even at small wages, so that the people 
 can, as far as possible, preserve their independence, and we think in 
 this way we can keep the lazy and undeserving, from out of the city, 
 from asking for help, and so reduce our wants to the minimum. If 
 we can tide over the next thirty (30) days we shall be all right. 
 
 You will understand that it is not sickness that has forced us to 
 ask for help, but it is the total stoppage of all work, and the great- 
 fear of us that is entertained by the citizens of other places, and of 
 the county, so that those who are in the city can neither obtain work 
 here, or get away to obtain it from other sources. 
 Very truly yours, 
 
 H. F. Button, 
 
 Acting Mayor. 
 
 Mayor Hewitt was not the only contributor who insisted upon 
 the Executive Committee handling the funds subscribed, and inves- 
 tigating the needs of other communities, as will be seen by reading^ 
 the letter from Baltimore: 
 
 Mayok's Office, Baltimore, October 8, 1888. 
 Mr. P. 3fcQuaic1, President Auxiliary Association, Jacksonville, Fla.r 
 Dear Sir — We have had an appeal for aid from Gainesville. We 
 send everything direct to .Jacksonville, and would ask that you look 
 into the matter, as you can better ascertain the wants and necessities^ 
 of the people of Gainesville than we can, u)iil, if necessary, furnish 
 them with what they need of our portion sent. 
 Very truly, 
 
 ASHBY L. BlEDLER, 
 
 Secretary Relief Fund. 
 
 While the Executive Committee in Jacksonville were trying to- 
 carry out these requests, it was annoying, to say the least, to read 
 the newspaper reports current. In the Savannah News, of October 
 4th, appeared the following, taken from a dispatch from Gaines- 
 ville: 
 
 Gainesville has grounds for much complaint at the treatment 
 she has received. Fernandina gave her the fever, then Savannah 
 delayed in shipping the disinfectants ordered, and up to this time 
 she has not been able to secure a female nurse, though she has been 
 trying to get one for six days. Miss Hare, for whom the nurse was- 
 needed, is improving. 
 
 Tliousands of dollars, and many physicians and nurses, have 
 poured into Fernandina and Jacksonville, while Gainesville is utterly 
 ignored. 
 
 Help is now needed.
 
 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 261 
 
 In the Times-Union, published at Jacksonville, of the same date, 
 was a special fi-om Gainesville, containing the words: 
 
 An appeal for help will be made through the press to-morrow. 
 But little aid has been offered to Gainesville, while Fernandina, at 
 whose door lies Gainesville's calamity, has been appealing from the 
 first for aid, and received bountifully, yet Gainesville had been for- 
 gotten. 
 
 Again, in the Savannah News, of the 9th, was printed from 
 Gainesville a quotation: 
 
 Rev. Mr. Carr says: The Relief Committee here is composed of 
 honest, intelligent men, and need neither Mr. McQuaid nor his Jack- 
 sonville Committee to come to investigate, or make known, the ne- 
 cessities of Gainesville. Let help for Gainesville be sent direct, and 
 not via Jacksonville. Gainesville is neither a country village nor a 
 suburb of Jacksonville, and such would-be paternalism is entirely 
 gratuitous. 
 
 The Relief Committee is in session daily, and is laboring faith- 
 fully to relieve all distress. The last new case prolongs and in- 
 creases the need of help. 
 
 On the lltli the authoi'ities took action regarding the publica- 
 tion of reports in letters of that date, given below: 
 
 Gainesville, Fla., October 11, 1888. 
 P. McQuaid, Esq., President Auxiliary Association, Jacksonville, 
 
 Florida : 
 
 Deau Sir — I have the honor to enclose you a copy of a resolu- 
 tion, passed this day by the Alachua County Board of Health, Col. 
 H. F. Dutton, President of the City Council, concurring. 
 
 This action was taken in consequence of the publication in the 
 Savannah Morning News of a telegram from a correspondent at this 
 place, which is calculated to create a false impression as to the rela- 
 tions existing between the authorities of tliis place and those of your 
 city. Respectfully yours, 
 
 J. T. McMillan, 
 Acting Secretary Board of Health. 
 
 Office Board of Health Alachua County, "1 
 
 October 11, 1888. J 
 Eesolved, That we, the Board of Heilth of Alachua county, 
 and H. F. Dutton, in behalf of the City Council of Gainesville, 
 gratefully appreciate the assistance rendered us in our distress by 
 our sister city of Jacksonville, and that we greatly deplore the pub- 
 lication of certain communications, by a private correspondent, in 
 the Savannah Morning News, and copied into the Gainesville Record, 
 which do not reflect the sentiments of this Board, nor those of the 
 City Council. 
 
 To the Auxiliary Society of Jacksonville we tender our sincere 
 thanks for the funds placed at our disposal.

 262 SISTKK COMMUNITIES, 
 
 Oil the same day Acting Mayor Duttoii wired Mr. Sdiumacliery 
 inquiries regarding labor: 
 
 Gainesville, October 11, 1888. 
 James M. Srhniiiaclier : 
 
 We can find employment for men wanting work on the streets 
 and other places. By doing this we can prevent a great deal of im- 
 position and waste of funds. Are we justified in using relief funds 
 in this way ? 
 
 H. F. Dlttox, 
 
 Acting Mayor. 
 
 The Vice-President replied, by wire, as follows: At 
 
 Jacksonville, Octobier 11, 1888. 
 H. F. Dntton, ArtiiKj Miii/or, GainrsviUp, Fl(t.: 
 
 Your telegram of to-day has been received and submitted to Ex- 
 ecutive Committee, and I am requested to advise you that the Com- 
 mittee, being without information as to your situatifni, does not like 
 to assume the responsibility of suggesting to you as to the manner 
 of disbursing your relief funds. 
 
 James M. Schumacher. 
 
 Vice-President. 
 
 On the same day the Executive Committee forwarded, through 
 its Vice-President, a letter, explaining again the position of the 
 Committee, in answer to the letter of Acting Mayor Button of Octo- 
 ber 8th, given below: 
 
 Jacksonville, Fla., October 11, 1888. 
 Hon. II. F. Button, Artlmj Mayor, Gainesville, Fla.: 
 
 Dear Sir — Your letter of October 8th, addressed to President 
 McQuaid, has just been received. The members of your Board mis- 
 take the spirit which directed the message of President McQuaid, of 
 the 5th inst., in reference to the conference, by a special agent, from 
 this Committee. It was not the intention of the Committee to either 
 dictate, or even advise you and your associates, in matters connected 
 with supplying your city. We were advised by Mayor Hewitt, from 
 whom a very large portion of the fund which we have received has 
 come, that he preferred to have disbursements made through our 
 organization, and, acting on his request, we communicated with you. 
 The suggestions for a conference came from Mayor Hewitt in his 
 letter to us. In connection with other similar matters, we have ex- 
 perienced considerable difficulty in ascertaining the needs of com- 
 munities, whose wants we are desirous of sup]dying, and found that 
 in the end, a personal conference had to be resorted to. Our inten- 
 tion was to confer with you, ascertain from you exactly what you 
 needed, and to supply those needs. It was information that Ave 
 were seeking, and our agent would have made no suggestions except 
 they were based on exi)eriences through which Ave had passed, and 
 which Avere then presenting themselves to you. It is hoped that you 
 Avill understand and appreciate our position in this matter. AVe did 
 not seek to force our services upon you, but Avere willing and glad, 
 under the circumstances, to do all we could to assist you, and Ave 
 are still desirous of serving you in any way that Ave can, and shall be 
 glad if you Avill permit us to do so. A general statement from you,
 
 SISTER COMMUXITIES. 26S. 
 
 without detailing what we can do, will hardly permit us to act intel- 
 ligently. Further communication to us will have our iirompt con- 
 sideration. 
 
 Owing to the absence of President McQuaid, who is sick from 
 exhaustion, I answer your letter to him. 
 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 James M. Schvmachek, 
 
 Vice-President. 
 
 On the same day the situation was explained to the New York 
 Committee, and the communication is included here as indicative of 
 the motives and spirit of the Executive Committee: 
 
 October 11, 1888. 
 Major J. H. Durkce, Chairman Committee^ Grand Central Hotel, New- 
 York City : 
 
 Deak Sir — As you were advised by President McQuaid, on Octo- 
 ber 6th, a telegram received on that day from Mayor Dutton, of 
 Gainesville, advised the Executive Committee that he had received 
 the telegram of President McQuaid, dated October 5th, and would 
 answer the same by mail. We are to-day in receipt of the letter from 
 Mayor Dutton, dated October Sth, of which I herewith hand you a 
 copy. President McQuaid had advised you of the tenor of his telegram 
 of the Sth, sent to Mayor Dutton. It was in strict compliance with 
 the letter and spirit of Mayor Hewitt's communication of October 
 1st, and which was received by us on October 5th. The same spirit 
 of misunderstanding seems to prevail at Gainesville that prevails at 
 Fernandina. This committee has not l>een anxious to assume the 
 responsibility of the distribution of money and supplies outside of 
 the city of Jacksonville and its immediate surroundings, but, feeling 
 the charity of which Mayor Hewitt is the exponent liad demands^ 
 upon it, the committee has been desii-ous, in every instance, to un- 
 dertake to do everything that has been requested of it in the way of 
 sujiplying the needs of any locality that could be reached by it. It 
 seems to the committee now, that, perhaps, the same consideration 
 should be given to the requirements of Gainesville that has already 
 been given to those of Fernandina, and it is the desire of the com- 
 mittee that you and your associates in New York will do what is nec- 
 essary to that end, submitting to Mayor Hewitt the letter of Mayor 
 Dutton, and giving him all information in your possession in refer- 
 ence to our action in the matter. 
 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 James M. Schumachee, 
 
 Vice-President. 
 
 Acting Mayor Dutton, on the 12th, sent a letter to President Mc- 
 Quaid, expressing regret at the newspaper comments on the situa- 
 tion, as below: 
 
 Gainesville, October 12, 1888. 
 Hon. P. McQuaid, President, Jacksonville : 
 
 Deak Sir — I have noticed, with great regret and vexation, a 
 communication in the Savannah News of the 9th instant, from Gaines- 
 ville, referring to your telegram of the Sth. I hasten to assure yon 
 that the Board of Health and City Council are unanimous in feeling 
 that you and your Board have acted with the utmost courtesy, and- 
 that their feeling towards you is only of gratitude.
 
 264 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 My letter of the 8th was more in the nature of a private commu- 
 nication, expressing my own feeling that it was better for us to pre- 
 serve our independence as far as possible, and that no conference 
 was necessary, especially since it was quite i)robable that our wants, 
 at tlie most, would be compai-atively small. 
 
 Very respectfully yours, 
 
 H. F. DUTTON, 
 
 Acting Mayor. 
 On the 15th the last two letters were answered as follows: 
 Gaines VILLI',, Fla., October 15, 1888. 
 Mr. Jdmes M. Schumacher, Vice-President, J. A. S. A., Jacksonville: 
 
 Deak Sir — I have your favor of the 11th. After my letter of the 
 5th, to President McQuaid, the resolutions of the Board of Health, 
 and my subsequent letter of explanation, I am quite sure that it is 
 unnecessary to refer to the subject of those letters again. 
 
 Mayor Brown has now retvirned to the city, and I cheerfully re- 
 linquish to him the duties of his ofitice, with its responsibilities and 
 annoyances, so that this matter, so far as I am concerned, is ended, 
 and Mayor Brown's ideas and conduct will, undoubtedly, differ ma- 
 terially from mine. 
 
 Hoping that the plague, with its vexations and miseries, will 
 soon be over, I am 
 
 Very truly yours, 
 
 H. F. DUTTON. 
 
 Jacksonville, October 15th, 1888. 
 
 Hon. H. F. Button, Acting Mayor, Gainesville, Fla: 
 
 Dear Sir — Your letter of the 12th received to-day, and I note 
 fully your explanation of the communication which appeared in the 
 ^Savannah Morning News of the 9th, from some i:)erson in your city, 
 and am glad that you and your Board of Health took the action, as 
 set forth in the copy of the resolution transmitted to me by the Sec- 
 retary of your Board of Health. As has been stated by Mr. Schu- 
 machei", we have no desire whatever to dictate, or suggest, to you 
 what course you should pursue. Our only desire has been to under- 
 stand what your wants are, so that we might be able to relieve 
 them, if you desired to accept relief through our Association. We 
 did not seek to occupy this position toward you, and only made the 
 offers we did at the request of the Mayors of New York, Baltimore 
 and other large cities of the North, through whose hands came the 
 largest portion of the contributions we received. I still think if we 
 could have a personal conference we would have understood each 
 other much better, and could have been of mutual assistance and 
 benefit to each other. I beg to assure you of our sympathy and good 
 will, and that we will readily render you any assistance in our power. 
 Hoping that you will escape a severe visitation of this terrible 
 scourge, and soon regain health and prosperity, I am. 
 
 Very truly yours, 
 
 P. McQuAiD, 
 
 President. 
 
 It seemed to the Executive Committee, at this time, after the 
 receipt of Acting Mayor Button's last communication, that an under- 
 standing could be reached with Gainesville. Mayor Brown returned
 
 SISTEK COMMUNITIES, 265 
 
 to Gainesville about this time, and on the 19th wired the Executive 
 Committee, rather abruptly, as follows: 
 
 Gainesvillk, October 19, 1888. 
 P. McQuaid, President, Jacksonville : 
 
 Two more cases of fever declared to-day. Want and destitution 
 increasing. We will need five or ten thousand for immediate and 
 future wants. J. B. Bkown, Mayor. 
 
 In reply the President of the Association wired: 
 
 Jacksonville, Fla., October 20, 1888. 
 ./. B. Broicn, Mayor, GaineHville, Fla.: 
 
 We sympathize with you in your distress and suffering. We 
 have previously tendered such aid as we could render you, and sug- 
 gested that we be permitted to send a special agent to confer with 
 your people, and ascertain just what you need, so that we could the 
 better provide to relieve their wants. This offer was rejected, and 
 we were told that aid could not be accepted under such conditions; 
 that your Board of Health would consider it a reflection on their 
 judgment and integrity to even send an agent to advise with them as 
 to the situation, and what was needed to relieve it. We found that 
 you had appealed to the counti-y generally for aid. and, therefore, 
 ceased any efforts to induce your people to accept aid from us. We 
 were requested by the mayors of Xew York and other large cities to 
 impiire into the wants of communities similarly afflicted like our- 
 selves, and extend what relief was in our power, as they pre- 
 ferred to send all the money to our Association. It was comply- 
 ing with these requests that caused us to take the action we did. 
 We feel responsible for the proper distribution of this fund, and 
 feel that our duty compels vis to ascertain in what way the money 
 is to be expended. Fernandina accepted the same proposition we 
 made to you, and we are getting along harmoniously. In order that 
 we may know just what you need, it will be necessary that we should 
 have a conference to ascertain how many destitute people you have 
 to feed, what money is needed for it, and how much per week or 
 month. Can you come and see us, or will you meet an agent from 
 this Association at Baldwin? P. McQuaid, 
 
 President. 
 
 Mayor Brown answered as follows : 
 
 Gainesville, October 22, 1888. 
 P. McQuaid, President: 
 
 If the Mayor and Board of Health of this city cannot be trusted 
 by you in their statements as to their needs, but their assertions 
 must first be investigated by an agent sent by you, we still respect- 
 fully decline aid from your citizens, and friends of Gainesville in New 
 York and Boston, when applying for aid for us, have been met by the 
 statement that you had assured them that you were looking after and 
 supplying all our needs. You had then sent only about .$1,200. We 
 ask that the good people abroad be left to act upon their own judg- 
 ment in making remittances to us. We have been assured by mayor 
 (probably "many" w'as intended) letters that funds for Gainesville 
 have been sent to Jacksonville. I endorse all written and wired you, 
 in my absence, by H. F. Button. J. B. Brow'n, 
 
 Mayor.

 The Executive Committee hardly believed that the Mayor had 
 received the letter of explanation which had been sent to Gaines- 
 ville before sending his message. It is safe to say that no member 
 of the committee, as an individual, could have patiently borne an 
 accusation against his integrity of the kind that the telegram of 
 Mayor Brown contained. It was the climax of the correspondence, 
 and yet the committee, acting in a trust relation and subordinating 
 personal feelings, desired to ascertain the exact position of Gaines- 
 ville, and whether she was fully advised, and wired her as follows: 
 
 Jac'Ksonv'illk, October 2;J, 1888. 
 J. B. Brown, Mmjor, Gainesrillc, Fla.: 
 
 Your telegram of 22d received. We do not understand the spirit 
 of your message, in view of letter sent you by Vice-President J. M. 
 Schumacher on the 11th instant. Please advise us if you received 
 such letter. 
 
 P. McQuAii), 
 
 President. 
 
 On the 24th Mayor Brown rei)lied to the inquiry in a way to show 
 that the communications from the Executive Committee were all re- 
 ceived : 
 
 Gainksvii.lk, Fla., October 24, 1S8S. 
 P. McQudid, Pre.siiJent : 
 
 Mr. Schumacher's letter to Colonel Dutton is in the hands of Dr. 
 Phillijjs, chairman of the Board of Health, who is down with fever, 
 and cannot be reached. I understand that Mr. Schumaclier wrote 
 that we had only to make our wants known to obtain tlie relief asked 
 for. In response to this 1 wired you that we should need live or ten 
 thousand for present and future wants. Instead of responding 
 })romptly you ask for details, and to see that is it properly disposed 
 of. We believe that you extend your inerogative in this, and that 
 the officials here should be as freely trusted with this small amount 
 as the officials of Jacksonville have been with the lai'ge sums placed 
 in their hands. 
 
 .1. B. BisowN, 
 
 Mayor. 
 
 Upon the receipt of the last telegram the Executive Committee 
 carefully reviewed all correspondence which had passed between 
 the committee and Gainesville, and, after careful and mature consid- 
 eration, decided it was useless to spend further time in trying to af- 
 ford Gainesville assistance in the only way it could do so, and fol- 
 low the suggestions of the donors of the funds in its charge, which 
 metliod it had repeatedly explained, and consistently followed in 
 the case of all other communities. 
 
 The editor has been careful to exclude comment of any kind from 
 this statement. The Executive Committee, in severing its rela- 
 tions with Gainesville, jjainfully felt the responsibility of its ac- 
 tion, and it is not the desire of the editor, or of the Executive Com-
 
 SISTER (■(•MMlNl'l IKS. 267 
 
 inittce, to intiuence the judginent of the public, which is in position 
 to Judge intelligently, from the very full corresi)ondence collected 
 here, the true merits of the case. 
 
 In communicating to Mayor Brown the final action of the Exec- 
 utive Committee, President McQuaid briefly reviewed the ground, 
 which has been given in detail Ijere, and closed up relief measures, 
 so far as Gainesville was concerned, as follows: 
 
 .lACKSoxvrLi.E, October 24, 1888. 
 
 J. li. Jirown, Jilai/or, (iaUwuriUe, Flu.: 
 
 Our Executive Committee liave carefidly considered your tele- 
 grams of 22d and 24tli, and reviewed all the correspondence that has. 
 passed between us, and decide that, in view of the instructions to 
 this Committee from the chief donors of the charity funds in their 
 hands, they cannot recede from the position they liave taken, but 
 wisli to repeat again tliat you have misconstrued their motives, and 
 that they are not responsible for your not receiving direct contribu- 
 tions. We never stated to anyone that we had done more than at- 
 tempt to relieve your immediate wants, and were awaiting a confer- 
 ence to ascertain what your future retiuirements might be. On 
 receipt of Acting Mayor Button's letter of October Sth. defining the 
 position of your authorities towards us, in tlie matter of a confer- 
 ence, and a previous statement that you liad made direct appeals for 
 aid, we, on October lltli, immediately on receii)t of the letter re- 
 ferred to, wired Major Durkce, Chairman of our Committee in Xew 
 York, stating tlie case as it existed, clearly, requesting him to con- 
 fer witli Mayor Hewitt, and recommending that Gainesville be sup- 
 plied direct, and not through our Association. We have made no 
 representations that we had luidertaken to provide for your wants, 
 and this Committee feels they are charged unjustly with having 
 stopped contributions being sent to you (Firect. We have no reason 
 to believe that any of the funds sent to us were donated for your 
 city. As a contril)uti(m to your immediate needs I am directed to 
 authorize you to draw on J. M. Schumacher, Chairman of Finance 
 Committee, for one thousand dollars, and diaft will be promptly hon- 
 ored. I am further directed to say that this Association, finding it 
 has assumed all the obligations it can carry, and not desiring to press 
 a conference on you any further, recommend that you make appeals 
 for aid direct to the charitable people of tliis country.

 ENTERPRISE. 
 
 At the meeting of the Executive Committee, held November 1st, 
 news of the existence of fever was announced by reading the follow- 
 ing telegram : 
 
 Enterprise, Xovember 1, 1888. 
 J. M. Schumacher, Jacksonville : 
 
 Twenty-two eases and four deaths to date. Five hundred people 
 in disti'ess. Are compelled to ask for aid. Can you help us ? 
 
 G. F. Carlile, 
 
 Secretary Board of Health. 
 
 Dr. J. Y. Porter, who happened to be present at the meeting, 
 stated he had been advised of sickness in Enter^jrise, and that eleven 
 nurses had been sent to that place, and that he was authorized to 
 send nurses, physicians and drugs, but could not furnish food sup- 
 plies. 
 
 Under instructions of the Executive Committee, Pi'esident Mc- 
 Quaid sent the following telegram : 
 
 Jacksonville, November 1, 1888. 
 G. F. Carlile, Secretary Board of Health, Enterprise, Fla.: 
 
 Telegram to Mr. Schumacher was considered by our Executive 
 Committee this morning. I had a conference with Dr. Porter, who 
 informs me that the Government sujiplies nurses and all require- 
 ments for the sick. What I understand you to need is assistance for 
 your people who are destitute. Which will serve you best, money 
 or provisions ? We will aid you to the extent of five hundred dol- 
 lars immediately, as soon as you advise us which yovi prefer, money 
 or provisions, and advise what way to send it. 
 
 P. McQuAiD, 
 
 President. 
 
 Mr. Carlile responded the next day: 
 
 Enterprise, November 2, 1888. 
 P. McQuaid, President, Jacksonville : 
 
 The money will do us more good than anything else, as can do 
 sanitary work, and provide for jjeople in any way need. Please send 
 by mail. Can use checks if you cannot send currency. 
 
 G. F. Carlile, 
 
 Secretary. 
 
 President McQuaid, therefore, wired an agent in Sanford, just 
 across the lake from tlie stricken city, to send $500 to Enterprise, in 
 currency. 
 
 On November 10th Seci'etary Carlile wrote as follows: 
 
 Enterprise, November 10, 1888. 
 P. McQuaid, President, Jacksonville : 
 
 Dear Sir — For past forty-eight hours we have had seven new 
 cases and one death. Disease spreads slowly, and cases now devel- 
 oping do not seem as severe as first cases. I have a letter from Mayor
 
 SISTER COMMUIS^ITIKS. 269 
 
 Hewitt, of New York City, regarding their relief funds, saying your 
 committee had it in charge, and would render all the assistance pos- 
 sible. We have a large amount of sanitary work to do, besides, by 
 actual count, 499 i^eople dependent upon us for food almost entirely. 
 The condition of our county treasury is such that we cannot get 
 funds from that source. The United States surgeons say we should 
 spend, at once, from .$8,000 to $10,000 on sanitary work, to place us 
 beyond danger of return of epidemic in the spring. I do not know 
 to what extent you can possibly help us; and, in my opinion, the es- 
 timate of the surgeons is somewhat high, and with $2,500, in my 
 opinion, we can place the town in safe condition, and in the spring, 
 when oi;r regular tax is collected, we will have funds to perfect the 
 work. To-night, when the sanitary force is paid off from funds sent 
 by you, we will have scarcely one hundred on hand. 
 
 Very truly, 
 
 Geo. F. Caklile, 
 Secretary Volusia County B. of H. 
 
 In the meantime, several complaints were received by the Exec- 
 utive Committee against the county authorities of Volusia county, 
 but it was impracticable for the committee, at so great a distance, 
 to investigate the facts. 
 
 In answer to the letter of Secretary Carlile, quoted heretofore, 
 the Execvitive Committee, through its President, replied as follows: 
 
 Jacksonville, November 14, 1888. 
 
 Mr. Geo. F. Carlile, Secretary Vobisia County Board of Health, En- 
 terprise, Fla.: 
 
 Dear Sir — Your letter of the 10th at hand, and Avas laid before 
 our Executive Committee to-day. So far as sanitary work is con- 
 cerned, we do not consider that we have anything to do with that. 
 That is a proi)er subject for your county or town authorities to con- 
 sider, and provide the means to undertake. No work of this kind 
 could now affect the present epidemic in your midst, and that is all 
 that we are attempting to deal with at present. To prevent a recur- 
 rence of this terrible scourge another season, it will be well, and, 
 perhaps, necessary, that your town sliould be put in proper sanitary 
 condition, l»ut the people who are directly benefited should certainly 
 be willing to stand the expense. If there is such sanitary work of 
 immediate importance the United States Government would assist in 
 the matter, if it were ]n'operly laid l»efore them, the same as they 
 have done here and at Fernandina. 
 
 Now, as for the care of the sick and indigent population who 
 are unable to feed themselves, that is another question; but it does 
 seem to us that in a county such as yours your own people ought 
 to be willing tf> do something, and not depend entirely on chari- 
 table contributions from the general public. While we have re- 
 ceived a great deal of money, we have had to expend a great deal for 
 sister communities that have been afflicted like ourselves, until now 
 the prospect is, that we are not going to have enough to take care of 
 our own people to the end of this epidemic. Of course, it is impos- 
 sible to make estimates accurately, as we cannot foresee when the 
 end may come; but, as it appears to us now, we cannot promise to 
 render you any further assistance. It may be that we may yet be
 
 270 SISTEH COMMUNITIKS. 
 
 able to send you some supplies, but this we cannot i^ositively prom- 
 ise now. 
 
 I have received letters from Enterprise complaining of the man- 
 ner in which relief is distributed, and one argument that was used 
 was, that you do not live in Enterprise, and have nf)t been there since 
 tlie breaking out of the epidemic, and that, therefore, you are not in 
 a position to judge of who are needy and who are not. This, of 
 course, I know nothing about, and we do not care to undertake the 
 management of your affairs. Our committee think that your neigh- 
 boring towns, and your County Commissioners, ought to do some- 
 thing to aid you. It does lot)k rather singular that those of your 
 own family, as it were, slioidd refuse to come to your assistance. 
 They can do something, at any rate, and what they can do ought to 
 be (lone. We will l)e glad to hear, from time to time, the condition 
 of your i)eople, and if we get any more contributions, and find that 
 we can render you further assistance, we will be glad to do it. 
 
 '^'ours truly, 
 
 r. MrQL'Aii), 
 
 President. 
 
 The next day a telegram was received from Dr. F. II. Caldwell, 
 who had been assisting the surgeon of the Marine Hospital Service, 
 Dr. Posey, to look after the sick, which read : 
 
 E.NTKKPHiSK, November IT), ISSS.

 Epidemic here virtually over. There are 400 people here kept

 buy them. The County Board of Health have county scrip issued 
 by the County Commissioners, but cai\not disi)ose of it at any price. 
 We have had no coffee, lard, bacon or butter for three days, and 
 nothing in sight. Cannot you wire .1. N. Whitner, Sanford, to for- 
 ward supi)lies. AVe now owe him four hundred dollars. Unless 
 there is prompt relief 1 fear there will be trouble among the colored 
 contingent. These people will be locked up here for several months, 
 unless freezing weather should relieve them. Dr. Posey and myself, 
 with nurses, will probably leave for C'amp Perry Saturday night.

 Dr. F. H. (Jdldirell, Kidcrprlxc, Via.: 
 
 Your telegram fully considered by our Executive Committee this 
 morning, and a resolution adopted, the sub.stance of which I was in- 
 structed to communicate to you: Tliat the epidemic being virtually 
 at an end, and physicians and nurses about to leave Enterprise, the 
 indigent ])ersons in need of food are a proper charge on the county, 
 and api>licatiou should be made to the County Commissioners for 
 food for the destitute, which course has been pursued in this county 
 in localities where yellow fever has not existed. Funds in hands of 
 this Association are for relief of yellow^ fever sufferers only, and 
 liave become so nearly exhausted that this Committee cannot apply 
 tiiem to fecfling indigent i)ersons, who should be fed by the county

 The funds of the Association treasury were low, and the Com- 
 mittee did iu)t feel that tlie case of Enterprise required further as- 
 sistance, especially in view of the lack of harmony, and in the 
 absence of local oiganization, and so indicated t() the people of En- 
 terprise, who, on the 17th, organizeil a Kelief Committee and pre- 
 ferred charges against members of the local Board of Health, and 
 forwarded the comi)laint to the ICxecutive Committee, which were 
 of a public natuie, and are inserted here Utcrniini, as an explanation 
 of the hesitancy of the Executive Committee to extend further assist- 
 ance :

 Dkaij Sik — Enclosed yctu will find a statement of the action of 
 the citizens of Enteri)rise in forming a IJelief Committee. As such 
 iommittee, we address this letter to you. 
 
 As soon as yellow fever was declared to be in Enterprise, Mr. 
 Sauls and Mr. Carslilc, members of the IJoard of Health of Volusia 
 county, left the town and did not return untill November Kith, inst. 
 During their absence, they wrote to scvei-al parties soliciting aid for 
 the people of p^nter]>rise, and representing to the outside world that 
 they were here. They had turned over tlieir authority to Ur. Posey, 
 as a County Board of Health, then left the place; Init afterwards 
 ft>rnu'd themselves into a self-api)ointed Belief Committee. No re- 
 lief has been given, in our knowledge,, except in a few cases, as all 
 men employed to (dean up the ])1mcc ])aid for everything they got. 
 
 It is statetl on good authoiity that this self-api)ointed Belief 
 Committee got several donations; some of money, and one of pi)ta- 
 toes from .John Nix iV- Son, of New York. 
 
 The i)otatocs aie being sold by Mr. Sauls, at §2 per bushel; but 
 just what he is doing with the money, or the other money he and 
 Carslile recieved, nc( one can tell; see copy of rei)ort of committee 
 who waited on them to ascertain how much they had matle of it. 
 You will see by said I'opy of report of said committee, that said Cars- 
 lile does not acknowledge McQuaid's Avireing to hi)n about sending 
 provision, but he positivly calles him a liar. 
 
 Yours very respectfully,

 Entkkim:isk, November 17, 1888. 
 
 At a meeting of the citizens of Enterprise, for the purpose of 
 organizing a Belief Committee, John W. Price was elected chairman 
 and James Atkinson, secretary. The chairman, in a brief and 
 pointed speech, stated the object of the meeting, at the conclusion 
 of which he said, "we are now ready for business."
 
 272 SISTKR COMMUNITIES. 
 
 Mr. Henry Smith moved " that the chair appoint a Committee on 
 Resolutions," which was carried, and the following gentlemen were 
 appointed such committee: Henry Smith, James Atliinson, Andrew 
 Harold, John W. Price and W. H. Barrett. 
 
 After a short recess, the committee made the following report, 
 which was read and approved: 
 
 Your Committee on Resolutions beg leave to submit the follow- 
 ing: 
 
 Whekeas, It has been claimed and decided that the yelloui fever 
 exists in Enterprise, as an epidemic, by the Board of Health of Vo- 
 lusia county; and, owing to mismanagement, there is no head to 
 manage or control any contributions or aid, donated to the citizens, 
 who, from the above charge, are now liable to suffer for the neces- 
 saries of life ; and 
 
 Whei'.eas, The said Board of Health having stopped all work,, 
 and all business having been suspended, suffering for want of neces- 
 saries of life is iminent; and 
 
 Whekeas, We have been advised that contributions have been 
 made for the relief of the people of our town, which, so far, they 
 have not received ; therefore be it 
 
 Besolved, That a committee of seven be elected by this meet- 
 ing to ascertain the amount of contributions, in kind, or money; by 
 whom given and by whom recieved, and how appropriated. 
 
 That said committee be authorized to take charge of all such 
 donations, and to solicit, collect and take charge of any and all such 
 donations that may be bestowed or given for the relief of the citi- 
 zens. 
 
 That said committee be authorized to act as a relief committee 
 in everything pertaining to the misfortunes of the citizens; that 
 they have full power to perfect their organization for the purpose, 
 and that they have the full power of this meeting of the citizens of 
 Enterprise. 
 
 On motion of E. M. Donald, the following gentlemen were 
 elected to act as a relief committee for the citizens of Enterprise: 
 E. M. Donald, Jas. Atkinson, Dr. H. J. Long, Henrv Smith, Andrew- 
 Harold, W. S. Bedford, A. C. Williams. 
 
 On motion, the colored citizens were re<iuested to elect an aux-

 SISTER COMMFNITIKS. 273 
 
 hikI E. M. Donald was appointed to call on Dr. Posey to find out 
 how much if any the Goverment had donated to the distressed peo- 
 ple of Enterprise he Posey Promised to send us a list of what the 
 Goverment would pay for. The committie then called on secretary 
 Bord of health, G. F. Carliles, to find from him how much funds 
 he had recieved from Jacksonville for the relief of the distressed 
 people of Enterprise. He stated he had recieved (.s.jOO) Five hun- 
 dred and Ninety Dolars from Jacksonville, but positively refused 
 to give us an account as to how he had disposed of it, and further- 
 more .stated that it was none of our Dam Buisness, and that we were 
 only trying to pry in to the County Bord of Health's Business. We 
 informed him we onely wished to find out how much funds or pro- 
 visions he had recieved from Jacksonville or Else wheres. he posi- 
 tively Refused to give any acount of any thing, onely that he Re- 
 cieved the .§590 from Jacksonville. A letter was read to Carliles 
 from Dr. McQuaid, from Jacksonville, stating Carlile's telagrams 
 from him, and he (Carliles) said that Dr. McQuaid lied, that he did 
 not wire him anything of the kind, as stated in Henry Smith's letter 
 from McQuaid, Dated Nov. 8, 1888.

 President. 
 
 The amount of funds sent Enterprise was small, and the results 
 reported were unsatisfactory at the time; but the distance, and the 
 existence of intervening quarantine regulations would not permit of 
 an investigation by the Executive Committee, as was done in the 
 case of almost all other communities; but, through the exertions of 
 members of the committee, arrangements were made by which as- 
 sistance could have been obtained by the business men of Yolusia 
 county, upon the scrip of the county, had there been pressing ne- 
 cessity for money at Enterprise.

 Some assistance was extended to these places by the Executive 
 Committee, and while they can hardly be called sister communities, 
 on account of the close relations between their residents and Jack- 
 sonville people, the statements affecting them are included under 
 this chapter. The ex])enses were all incurred under the supervision 
 of the Executive Committee. It may be said that many of the mem- 
 bers of the Association, and its committees, spent the nights at May- 
 port and Pablo, and, on account of the healthfulness of these places.

 MISCELI-ANEOrs. 
 
 There were one or two smaller communities in the State which 
 applied for assistance from the Association, among which was Pal- 
 metto. October 2t)th the Executive Committee learned, for the first 
 time, of the prevalence of yellow fever at Palmetto, in Manatee 
 county, by letters received simultaneously from Mayor Hewitt, en- 
 closing an appeal from Texas, and also a communication to the As- 
 sc)ciation from Edgar M. Graham, President Board of Health at 
 Braidentown. also detailing the distress in Palmetto. Dr. J. C. 
 L'Englc, Treasurer, wa!> requested, on behalf of the Executive Com- 
 mittee, to wire Dr. .J. P. Wall, of Tampa, for particulars, and the 
 Committee on Conference was requested to interview Dr. J. Y. Por- 
 ter, and ascertain his views, as he was familiar with the locality and 
 the people. Dr. L'Engle sent the following dispatch: 
 
 .lACKSoxvir.i.E, October 31, 1S88. 
 Dr. Jno. r. Widl, Tdiiipn, Fla.: 
 
 Wire immediately whether any suttering for food or absolute 
 necessaries of life at Manatee or Palmetto. Latter place appeals for 
 money to Auxiliary Committee, Jacksonville, and to Mayor Hewitt. 
 How can aid be sent, and to whom either food or monev can be sent 
 safelv ? 
 
 JXO. C. L'EXULE, 
 
 Treasurer. 
 
 (^)n the next day, at the meeting of the Executive Committee, a 
 telegram was received from Dr. Wall, expressing his ignorance of 
 the situation at Palmetto, as follows: 
 
 Tampa, October 31, 1888. 
 J)r. J. C. VEnijle : 
 
 Have heard nothing of sufl'ering or destitution at Palmetto, Re- 
 •ceivfd letter from Dr. Harrison, at last place, written yesterday.
 
 SISTKI: ( QM-NfUXITlES. '2 »'■) 
 
 Captain Sam. Keddick, from Palmetto, was in to see nie yesterday. 
 He said notliing abont destitution. I will inquire, and let you know 
 in a (lav or two. 
 
 .1. P. Wai.i.. 
 
 The Executive Committee, however, were informed by I)r, Por- 
 ter as to methods of transportation, and, upon his endorsement of 
 any statement that Judfj^e Graham might make, the Treasurer was 
 direete<l to ask Dr. Wall's co-operation, which he did the same day 
 by wire : 
 
 Jac KsoNVii.i.K, November 1, 1888. 
 Dr. John P. H'rri/, Tampn, Fin.: 
 
 Will you visit and investigate condition of Palmetto and Mana- 
 tee, in person, if possiV)le; otherwise, by one whom you endorse, and 
 wire condition, and relieve sucli pressing want or distress caused by 
 yellow fever as you find to exist, by furnishing food or money, as 
 you deem best, using as mucli as necessary to extent of five hundred 
 dollars. Draw on me for amount found to be necessary. 
 
 JXO. C. L"E.N<iI,K, 
 
 Treasurer .Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary >VssociatioJi. 
 
 Xo further correspondence was had with Palmettt>, except fur- 
 ther communications from Dr. Wall, enclosing a further statement 
 of .Judge (rraham, to the same effect as the previous one. 
 
 The draft authorized, however, from some unex])lained cause, 
 was not made. 
 
 ORKKNI.A.M). 
 
 The attention of the <;ommittee was called to a case of extremity, 
 caused by sickness, in a large family in (Treenland, a small place on 
 the Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Halifax Kiver Railway, some 
 distance from the city, through the Xew York Committee. 
 
 Such assistance as could be rendered was otfereil, although trans- 
 portation and (juarantine obstacles prevented pronii)t or satisfactory 
 relief. 
 
 fil.KX ST. MAltY. 
 
 In the financial statement issued by the Association October 
 27th, Glen St. Mary was charged with ^riO. This amount was on ac- 
 count of transportation. On the ITth of September, Col. F. K. South- 
 mayd, special agent of the Ked Cross, at the request of President Xeal 
 Mitchell, of the Duval County Board of Health, chartered a special 
 train to investigate the condition of the towns of Macclenny and 
 ■Glen St. Mary. Col. Southmayd, in his report to the Board of 
 Health, reported it had not been necessary for him to go to Glen St. 
 Mary, as he had ascertained from Dr. Gill at Macclenny, that the 
 Doctor was attending to the wants of the only sick family in Glen 
 St. Mary. The report was not transmitted to the Executive Com- 
 mittee, and the cost of transportation was at the time charged, as
 
 276 SISTER COMMUNITIES. 
 
 before stated, to Glen St. Mary. Since the receipt of a copy of CoL 
 Southmayd's report to the Red Cross, which elicited the facts, the 
 amount has been credited Glen St. Mary and charged to Macclenny, 
 and it is sincerely hoped this explanation will be satisfactory to all 
 persons interested, and the Executive Committee be thus relieved 
 from the periodical questions from Glen St. Mary as to what has be- 
 come of the $50 sent there. 
 
 ORANGE PAKK. 
 
 Orange Park is an illustration of several places which applied to 
 the Association for relief, which need not be detailed. These places 
 had no fever, but requested aid to keep up quarantine measures, or 
 to feed their people who were unable to get work because of the 
 quarantine restrictions imposed by other jjlaces. The Executive 
 Committee did not feel it would be justified in expending the 
 funds for such causes, and so advised the several localities. 
 
 Below is a recapitulation of the relief sent sister communities, in 
 
 money or supplies: 
 
 Macclenny $8,998. 2(>

 JAMES JAQLIELIN DANIEL. 
 
 BORN 
 
 At Columbia, S. C, 
 
 August 14, 1830, 
 
 DIED 
 
 At Jacksonville, Flokida, 
 
 OCTOBKK 2, 1888, 
 
 Aged 58 Years, 1 Month and 18 Days. 
 
 He was a member of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association, 
 
 its President, and ex-officio a member and Chairman of 
 
 its Executive Committee, which positions he 
 
 filled at the time of his decease.
 
 WiiEiSEAS, 111 God's wise Providence, the President of this 
 Association, Col. J. J. Daniel has passed to his rest; and 
 
 WiiKiJEAS, We desire to express our appreciation of him as a 
 man, in whose heart the sufferings of his fellow-man always found 
 response, and as an officer, devoted to his duty, always considerate 
 and patient, be it 
 
 Jicsolxed, That we place on record our aiipreciation of his worth, 
 gentleness and urbanity. A nobler man, a more devoted servant, or 
 a purer and more unblemished spirit lias not come among us. He 
 was a man among men^firm but gentle, faitliful and true, loving, 
 honest, courteous and manly. He died as lie had lived, a martyr to 
 liis love for his fellows, a true Christian gentleman, exemplifying 
 his teacliings by his life. Pich and ])oor, young and old, widow, 
 orphan and stranger, called him friend. In the decease of our 
 lionored president we have lost, one and all, a loving director, a 
 strong, sustaining sjiirit, and a large-minded guifle. 
 
 Bemh-ed, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the 
 ^vidow of our late i)resideiit.

 of September, 1888, Henry A. L'Engle, a member of the Jackson- 
 ville Auxiliary Sanitary Association, its Treasurer, and one of this

 Whereas, It is fitting tliat we ]>ause, even in the valley of the 
 shadow of death, to reverently jiay our mournful tribute of love 
 and respect to our fallen comrade, who, at the call of duty, devoted 
 his entire mental and physical energies to the aid of his fellow- 
 citizens, and has now freely given his life tliat others might live; 
 therefore be it 
 
 Besolved, That this Executive Committee, by the death of Henry 
 A. L'Engle, has lost the services of a man of compreliensive mind, 
 tender heart, i^ractical executive ability and absolute unselfish devo- 
 tion to its work.

 our sincere condolence and sympathy. 
 
 Hesolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of 
 this Executive Committee, and an engrossed copy, signed by the
