Fleeing From Yellow Fever.

Athens, Ga., Aug. 23. —Yellow fever has broken out afresh in Brunswick, and a telegram stating that 2,000 people would leave there and asking if Athens would be open to them was received here Monday afternoon. The matter was laid before the city council, which was in session when the message came. Leading physicians were consulted and upon their advice that no yellow fever could spread here it was decided to open the gates of th© #ity to all refugees and advice to this effect was sent the mayor of Brunswick. An epidemic is expected in Brunswick.
