The yellow FeTer...Its Progress

MEMPHIS, Sept. %. M-The wealth
er to-day is very unfavoratle for those
suffering from yellow fever, the Their
mometer at ten o'clock marking 60,
and at noon 81. The physicians think
it will have tendency to prevent the
spread of the disease. The Howard
Association have had only six applica-
tiors from new cases to dav, and only
two deaths are eperted-Allan Wood
ward, corner Second and Exchange
streets, and John Frankfort, Washing
ton street. Notwithstanding the
gloomy weather there is less panicky
feeling than at any time snce the dis
ease appeared.
Private adviees from New Orleans
say the fever prevails there, and break
bone fever RACES as an epidemic
LATER-Thirteen deaths from yellow
fever day. Few new cases. Every
body more hopeful and it is believed
the dise1se is fully under control Cases
under treatment generally improving.
SHREVEPORT, Sept. 20-The cpl
demic exhibits no abatement New
cases are not so numerous as at the hrSt
of the week, but the ratio is fully as
great Good nursing is doing much
for US. The outskirts of the city still
show an increase. Among those taken
down yesterday were r. A. Phelps,
Mrs. Jennie Lacassill, of this city, and
DR.. Richardson, of Jefferson. Mr.. r.
w. Sale and DR.. Wise were taken
down two days ago Our doctors and
csc from New Orleans state that the
malignity of the disease shows no
abatement.
LITTLE Rock, Sept, 2O.-Parties
who left Shreveport yesterday report
yellow fever abating. Nearly all the
present population are down with the
disease or recovering from it. The
weather turned very cool last night,
thermometer at 81. A cold rain is
now following.

SALE OF

The Sehorn Lands For Sale

ON MONDAY, THE 9th DAY OF OCTOBER, 1873,
~ at the Court House, in MOrristown, will sell at
public sale, to the highest 'biGder, credit of
ONE two and three years, all of the lands known as
the VIM. g. Sehorn lands, lying near Morr1stown,
and consisting of three several tracts as follows
l. One tract Of about 201 acres, lying just east Of
and adjacent to the corporate limits of MorristowD,
adjoining the lands of Wyatt Stubblefeld, John
Rice Carriger and others. This tract is conve-
niently situated for suburban residences, and viii
therefore be laid off into three more lots, and
sold in lots and afterwards sold whole; and
the sale producing the most money will be coli
frmed.
2 one other tract of about 100 acres, known as
the EIlidge tract about or miles from Norris
town. lying in and about the Gap in Boatman 8
Mountain, where the same is crossed by the stage
road leading from Morristown to Cumberland Gap.
g. One other tract of about "a acres, lying near
the first named tract on the waters of Paper Mill
creek adjoining the lands of Johnathan MOrelock
and Others This tract of itself is capable of being
made a valuable little farm, but consisting mainly
of timber land, it would perhaps be of more value
as a source of timber supply for the first named
tract.
All of these lands belonged to the late firm of
Howard, Cole & Co., and will be sold by me as
their Assignee in Bankruptcy. Notes, with I'M
doubted personal security will be required from the
purchasers and a lien retained the land for
further security.
For further information respecting these lands
as well as this SALE all persons interested refer
red to James p Evans, who viii give all necessary
information to all who call on him at his Office over
the Post Office, at Morristown, Tennessee.

Gently made such enlargement and
Improvement in it's office and recep-

The fame of this house for its supe-

more accommodating host than the
Turley House has, and yet his worthy

~ The suspension of Jay Cooke
& Co., the we'll known bankers of
New York, Philadelphia and Wash
ington startled the country on Fri
day. 1t had been considered the
strongest house in the country, and
the unexpected announcement of its
failure was calculated to cause the
inquiry, "who is safe?--what next? ?"
Business men attribute the failure to
operations in the North Pacific Rail
road, and it is said the house lost
largely in gold. We shall be disap-
pointed pleasantly if developments
do not show rottenness and rascality
at the bottom of the smash up.

A DAsTARDLY attempt was made
Monday night to throw train from
the track. AS the night passenger
down was nearing this place at usual
speed Engineer Pickens discovered
by the headlight Instructions on the
track in front. He Immediately
whistled down breaks, reversed en-
CINE, and succeeded in checking the
train, not however until the engine
had run over a portion Of the OBJ
struction, cutting in two an iron rail
laying first across the track. The
distractions consisted of cross ties
and iron rails, arranged most mali
ciously to insure the ditching of the
train. The impudence of the per
petrators Of this high offense is as
tonishing, consummated as it was al
most in sight of our depot and at an
early hour after dark,-the train
reaching this place at 8 40 p. m.
The affair will no doubt be inyestiga-
ted thoroughly.

We are informed that the freight from Win
chester to Baltimore on wheat is - cts. on
flour 81 per bbl.; on car lead Of coal from
Baltimore the freight is $50 per car. Have the
business men of Alexandria, and the business
men Of Winchester taken into consideration tie
fact that their mutual interests require that the
cities Of Winchester and Alexandria should
have direct railroad connection. What would
direct railroad connection between these cities
do? 1t would save to Winchester from sixty to
eighty thousand dollars annually 10 the cost q
reaching tide water; it would give the merch-
ants of Alexandria the control Of the agrlcuI-
tural productions of large portion of Clarke
county and the trade Of Winchester and sur
rounding country. 4 shorter lluc between
Alexandria aud Winchester than that between
Winchester and Baltimore would insure that
result. What would this be worth to Alex
andria9 Why the commissions on grain and
-four, and the profits on anthracite Goa, plaster,
cuano, seeds, agricultural implements, fish,
salt, groceries, &c., &C., would probably amount
to 800, 900 annually Six years Of this mutual
waste would build the road, aud the railroad
would increase the value Of farms along the
line at least SO per acre.

The Coal Trade.

In an article on the Cumberland coal trade,
the Washington Republican says:
In addition to the increase in this country
there has been large demand Tor this coal III
the West Iudies and South America. During
the past year 5000 tons were shipped to ports
in those countries from Georgetown, and 50 IA
vorable was the impression made 10y Its supc-
rior qualities that large orders are now IN hand
for its shipment to Havana, st. Thomas, Mar
tinioue, Barbados, Demarara, ASplnwall and
other coaling Stations Ia the West Indies aad
along the South American coast, which makes
the prospects for the coal trade with the coast
wise cities better than it has ever been before,
while the high price of anthracite coal has ln-
duced the large manufacturing Interests OF the
New England States as we'll Us the steamship
companies to make large contracts with the
Cumberland coal companies Tor their supplies
Of coal Iu this city there are SIX companies
who have mines Of this COAL all OF which have
their regular liue Of trade, and have all the ne
cessary arrangements Tor stocking their coal
and shipping the same, each having their fuil
force of laborers, Sc. In the employment OF
the trade in Georgetown there are about five
hundred boats, OF an average capacity OF Ito
tons each, and 100 to 500 sailing vessels eu-
gagged in the coastwise service. At present. no
vessels drawing over sixteen feet OF water can
get to Georgetown byreason Of the shallowncss
OF the channel, and they must finish loading at
Alexandria. 10 every case where coal was sent
to South America and the West lrdcs the
vessels loaded partly at Georgetown aud flush
ed their cargoes at Alexandria, where these
companies have branch yards
In addition to the branch yards spoken OF
above there are sole agencies here, such as
those of the American and Hampshire and
Baltimore Coal Companies, each of which ship
as much, if not more, coal than any single
agency located at Georgetown, and as regards
the depth of the channel it is a hard matter
to induce vessel drawing over fourteen ard a
haf feet TO go tc Georgetown.
