From the Shreverv.. 7"r.of - :r...
:y--hi"d We exttac: the follow -
Mrs. Judge Looney died at her .ts.t..ce.
10 tie suovrbs. las: Saturday, and Doc
Woodrrf on Sunday. Neither Of them
was buried in the city cemetery.
In the business block, bounded by the
levee Crockett, Spring and Milan streets,
the mortality has been very heavy up to
tbs tune. We note the names as follows:
Nathan Hoss. Willie Elstner John Mundy.
o. T. Collins, Henry Prescott, James Hoss,
r. La Cossitt, Charles w. Polneroy. II. C..
Silver, w. w. Mccain, T. L. Walker and a
restaurant man-twelve, IN all and business
men at that. Some siy or eight members
of the families of those doing business in
that block have died and great many
more are doNn.
1t is due to our old friend and esteemed
fellow citizen. DR.. T. ?. Hotchkss, to notice
his generous protfer of professional services,
free of charge. to the poor during the cpl
demic. DR.. Hotchkiss has long since re.
tired from the practicing Of medicine, but
comes forward IN this emergency to aid the
poor.
We still hear Of new cases among the
whites of the city. though the subjects to
work on are limited. Within the last two
days the disease has attacked the black
people, and many Of them have been taken
down. The increase in the suburbs is fearful.
hardly missing a person as it extends its
territory. Several families have all their
numbers down. The disease is certainly
malignant when i. takes acclimated whites
and robust negroes. The cloudy, cool
weather has an injurious effect on those
who are sick, and many OF them have bad
symptoms. Among our prominent citizens
who have died siuce on last report. were
9. L. Collins. OF the firm of Mundy IL Col.
Inns: K. ID. Sale. OF the firm OF Sale IL Muir.
ply. and Charles .. Phelps. city recorder.
and DR.. J. b. Wise.
Yesterday morning at six o'clock Captain
Z. u. Sale, of ,he mercantile firm of Sale
{, Murphy. died az his residence in this
city Of yellow fever. In the death of this
gen tieman Shreveport loses one of her most
highly esteemed and useful citizens. Cap.
tain Sale had been a resident of this city
upward OF quarter OF a century. and was
always prominent in the enterprises calcu. |
lated TO promote the public good. II was
his energy and sagaeity, We believe. that |
were chiefly instrumental il building up |
our Arkansas trade. In all OF his relations |
in lite, Captain Sale fulfilled well his part: |
as merchant he was sagacious. energetic |
and prompt in his transactions, thus secur. |
ng the perfect confidence of all who dealt |
with him: as citizen he was public spirit |
Il and ambitious for the progress OF the
,ity; ia the social circle heswas kindly, lib.
,ral and highly esteemed. In noting the
leath Of Captain Sale We note the loss OF
