The Yelior Ferer Case at IWHiamsbargh.-As the
meeting Of the Board on the 18th inst, DIR. Rock
well was requested to inquire into the facts relative to
the reported ase of yellow fever at VII iansburgh.
Yesterday Dr. Rockwell stated that he had spent
nearly the whole of the afternoon of Wednesday and
Che better part of yesterday Thursday morning. for
the purpose of satisfying himself to the character OF
the dsease OF which the sbiRoner named Gross died.
He said that he endeavored to secure an interview
with the physician who attended the sick man during
his Illness and up to the time of mis- DEATH but had
learned from the doctor, and directly from other
sources facts in abundance to convince him that the
report which the attending physician has made was
strictly true namely, that the man died OF bilious re-
mittent fever and not of yellow fever pancmakers
seemingly were determined to have it.
The Resident Physician further states that he had
taken considerable pains to inquire 10 regard to the
sanitary condition of the vessels on board of which
Mr. Gross is said to have labored shipjoner, and
that the result had been that only Of the vessels
named in come aion with the rumors Of this mans
death had entered this port and that she came from
port at which yellow fever never known to prevail.
The doctor further stated to the Board that be had
taken much trouble to ascertain the facts connected
with this case not because he thought that case Of
yellow fever had arisen from vessel which had passed
regularly through Quarantine but especially be-
cause he had suspicious that if genuine Gaze of yell
low fever had manfested itself in Wiliamsburgh it
had undoubtedly sprung from West India vessels or
c.rgoes candesincly introduced into this port through
the Sound.
The Board, after considering some unimportant mat
ters adjourned.

SANITARY CONDITION OF THE FOURTH WARD
On Wednesday our reporter took survey of con-
Sition of the Fourth Ward and in his tour fell in with
Health Warden Rice, and from him he learned that
the cleanliness of the streets, with few exceptions
must mainly be attributed to the Street Inspector, Mr.
Haley acting under instructions from City Inspector
Morton. Nearly every street in the ward exhibited
evidence that the Inspector trying to do hn duty
The exceptions in regard TO cleanliness were found at
the corner Of Pearl and Roosevelt streets. StagDant
water has remained there for months, and citizens
have repeatedly complained. 1t Is said that the con-
tractor, Mr. Devln failed to comply with the speci
cations of his contract. Hague street is also in
. filthy condition, and should be immediately at
tended to. James street might be improved in
the matter of casting garbage into the street.
The principal tenapt-houses in the ward were vis-
