URl'NS- Bul Ilia Pf vpia Arc Leaving rownjwt the ssiut-Florid Quarantine Js.tielst Will Wel come lb Refugees) Washington, Aug. 23. At tlie request ol the State hcnlth officer of Florida the M 'trine hospital service has stationed its inspectors at Waycross aud J ess up, Oa to preTent jiatscnccrs and bnKK"Ke from entering Florida unless they have a cer tificate of immunity signed by the proier Marine hospital officer at llrunswick. Advices received from Dr. Porter at Taniuu state tbat there are no new de velopments of yellow fever in that vi cinity. Dr. Wyniiin has established a bureau of information iu the Marine hospital here for the purpose of furnishing any information desired regarding the yellow fryer to all health officers in the South. Huston, Aug. 23, The local board of health has ordered that all vessels hail ing from points south of Cape Delaware lie required to show clean bills ot ncallti. This action was brought about by the yellow fever scare at lirunswick, Ca from which port a number of vessels in the lumber trade run regularly to New Haven. Savannah, Ga., Aug. 23. The Brurrs wick board of health has issued a bulle tin assuring the people that there were no further cases of vellow fever. Courts in the county have been suspended until October. Eleven couches of refugees left yesterday. It is now 1 clays siuce the first case was developed. There has been but one other case. Harris, the sick man, is resting easy. Atlanta, Ua., Aug. M. Atlanta wel comes all refugees from the yellow fever districts. Several thousand are already here and so far no suspicious cases have developed. The disease has never taken foothoold here and the people are not at all nlraid ol it. WILL ABUliVILI.i: INVITIi? What Prominent Cltliei. Think About It. In this time of yellow (ever scans in Florida and Georgia there is much dis cussion as to whether cities further north shall receive the refugees or shall quaran tine nga'nst them. Tim Citizkn inter viewed many Asheville men today, and their expressions with regard to inviting the refugees arc given below : Health Officer Noland says: " The city is clean aud we don't fear yellow fever refugees." City Clcik Miller and Chief Ilarkiiia savs L,ct tliem come. W. B. Gwyn says "Let them come." J. E. Dickcrson says, "Ditto, aud the best evidence we have that it can't spread is the Hendcrsonville epidemic of a few years ago." Mayor I'atton : "Personally, I do uotl fear the yellow fever, but I can not invite the refugees officially without a public meeting; I think it is only right that we should help them and express sympathy B. M. Lee, city engineer, says: "I have been iu the disease and don't believe that it could live here." D. L. Reynolds says: "I am opposed to the fever, but I don't object to the people." C. 11. soutuwick, ot tlie Lilcn Kock, says: It seems to be the universal opin ion that the yellow fever can't live here." M. I. rage: " 1 hrow the doors open and let them come; it can't exist here." O. M. Koocrts: 1 11 invite every one of them." W. E. Brcese. "My opinion is that we should open the doors wide." J. Hardy lee: 1 have had a good deal to do with it and don't see how it could Hurt us at ail. Drs. M. II. Fletcher and 0. W. I'ure- foy say "Don't quarantine against them. E.I. Holmes: "I don't think the dis ease can spread here." N. W. Girdwood: I think it would be all right to have the refugees here. I don't believe it would hurt us." II. F.Grant: "I was in Savannah in '76 when the death rate was high and I have no idea that the fever could live here. I think an invitation should go out over the Mayor's signature." L. 1. Kawls: I am inlavor ol letting them come." J. M. Campbell says: "Lot them come by all means; we have confidence enough in our climate to invite thein. The free use of my mountain cottage is lor them." Lewis Maddux : "We will take care of any who come, surely." Geo. S. Powell : "If the people come here take care of them; I see no necessity for an official invitation." A. II. Baird: "If they want to come, whv let 'em come." VV. F. Snider: "I don't believe there would any barm come from an invita tion." Dr. J. A. Burroughs: "Nobody here would take the fever. I advocated in viting the refugees here (our yeais ago and am of the same opinion now." Dr. J. II. Williams: "It's right and proper to give an invitation. Yellow lever will not propagate here." II. Redwood : "I think the question ol an invitation should be left to a meeting of the medical men of the city, and that their decision should be final." Rev. J. K. Connally: "1 think an in vitation would be a good thing, and see no reason why we shouldn't give it. It would do them good, and I'll help lake care of them." Dr. VV. C. Browning of Kcuil worth Inn: "Get them to come; we will do all we can to help them. The Inn won't take consumptives nor typhoid patients but we don't lear yellow lever." VV. W. Barnard. "I don't object to inviting them; we have a healthy country and I think we can take care of them." Dr. S. VV. Battle: "I've been through two epidemics of yellow (ever and believe tbat we could do no more generous an act, without danger to ourselves, than inviting them to come." .VV. B. Northup. "I see no barm in it." L. V. Brown: "Let 'em come if tbey want to." Dr. E.C. Staixes: "I don't think the yellow fever would amount to much here, but am not decided whether or not it would be best to have them here." N. P. Cbedester: "I say let 'em come. Ill take all I can get. It won't propa gate in the mountains." & R. Kepler: "I tbiok it would be a splendid thing to do, if it is practically unanimous. T. R. Ransom: "I see no objection to their coming." . 0. Mcrrimon: "I sec no necessity for invitation. Asheville welcomes all comers." Dr. I. A. Watson: "I think it would be iierfrctlv safe. VV. VV. West: "I think we ought to ask those people to come here; it won't hurt us a bit. I've been through it all and nm sure the fever cannot live here." Richmond Pearson: "Yours for health." t. r. Alimnnusn: "it could do no harm in this climate and I'm in favor of inviting them." Judge James II. Mcrrimon: "I think the judgment oi the physicians here ought to be taken and if tbey think there is no danger then an invitation should be sent them." J. E. Rankin: "I don't believe it should be scut. II it is epidemic down there and they come up here you will run every body else away." VV. A. Blair: "I'm iu for letting them come into tbis country as far as I am concerned." Postmaster Kerr: "Asheville is al ways democratic equal welcome to all, special invitations to none. THIS LAWN FKTK.

Down an incline on a Kuuawav Load of Wood. Yesterday afternoon two little sous of Carter Pcnland, living off Patton avenue between French Broad avenue and Ann street, climbed on a wagon loaded with wood that was standing in the yard where the team had been unhitched. The boys -worked with the brake until it was taken off and the wagon at once ran down the incline and over an embankment eight lcet high. One of the boys was thrown some dis tance, while the other was buried nnder wood and wagon and it required several minutes to get him out of the dangerous position. He was found to be severely injured. His jaw was broken in four places and he was otherwise bruised. Drs. John H. Williams and J. A. Watson were called in and gave all possible at tention to the sufferer. It is feared tbat there was concussion of the brain. ITALY SCARED. ttlie la HnatlliiK To Islave Oft a French Inquiry. Komu, Aug. 23. The Italian govern ment is taking steps to punish those officials who are held responsible for not preventing rioting in this city. The at tempt Sunday night by a mob to burn the French embassy in this city has opened the eyes of the government more fully to the fact that grave international complications were more than likely to grow out of the disturbances. Tuesday Signor Giolotti, prime minis ter, issued a decree ordering the suspen sion Irora office of Senator Galenda, pre fect of Rome; Signor Sandry, Chief of Police, and Signor Mngnetti, Inspector of Police in the district in which the French embassy is situated. The decree states that the suspension of the three officials is due to their failure to main tain order. Signor Grolott has also appointed a committee of inquiry to determine who is answerable for failuc to carry out the instructions in regatd to rioting given by the ministers. ONCE MORE DEFEAT, Walkrr pitched a Good Game, Bui Wasn't Supported. Kkoxvili.k, Tenn., Aug. 23. Spe cial. It's the same story that Asheville has to listen to, and when the High landers wound tip the game yesterday afternoon they were stared in the face by this score: Knoxville, 16; Asheville, 8. The game was lost through errors in the field and wild throwing. Knoxville got 7 hits and made 7 errors, while Asheville made 13 hits and 11 errors. Walker pitched a good game. The Knoxvillcs are particularly good fielders but weak at the bat. The Icatures of the game were a three baser to deep center by E. Rhett, and a similar performance by Garrison along the first base line. Asheville did stupid base-running, Knoxville making a triple play on a pop-up fly to short center. A material change in the players' posi tions is contemplated for today, and the Ashevillcs have strong hopes of winning the third game. To Engraft Hkln on a Burned Girl. Springfield, 0., Aug. 20.
