crowded. and on the Charleston road sew
eral additional cars had to be provided.
The streets have been deserted partially by
pedestrians during the day, but toward
night were patronized nearly as usual on
Sundays. Tonight the board of health
report the total number of deaths from all
causes at thirteen, of which twelve were
whites and eleven of them died from the
fever, and one negro. Should the disease
prove as fatal tomorrow, the sick and poor
of Happy Hollow will be removed to tents
provided, and that locality will be raized
to the ground or burned.
Shreveport, where the yellow fever is
now holding high carnival, is about
eight hundred miles from New Orleans via
Red river and the Mississippi, and has a
population of over ten thousand. 1t is one
of the busiest towns in Louisiana, and,
when the river is navigable, enjoys a very
large trade with Texas and the older States.
In 1870, Ill ,6SS bales of cotton, and in
1871, 104, 776 bales, were received there and
sent to New Orleans, and 3l6,074 packages
of merchandise came in from the East.
Total value of exports, 81, 1858, 600; sales
of merchandise, $3.50, 500; value of real
estate, 81, 067,3 1926. Within the last year
quite trade was opened between Shreve-
port and Philadelphia.

Especial Dispatches to the Courier-J Journal
MEMPHIS, Sept. 16.-The panic regard
ing the yellow fever has somewhat abated
to-day, and the streets to certain extent
have resumed their usual appearadce. The
number of people leaving the city was,
however, fully as great and the trains were
crowded to their full capacity, which may
be the case tomorrow, but after that de-
crease will be noticed, unless the disease
should spread.
THE BfoRTUARY REPORT.
To-day's mortality has been confined en-
tirely to Happy Hollow and its immediate
vicinity, and the deaths numbered twelve,
Notwithstanding the Board of Health re-
port but five. Yesterday they reported
nine, when there were fourteen deaths.
The error arose from the failure of two I'M
dertakers to send in their report. This
makes the total deaths in the past forty
eight hours twenty-siX, and is official, as
it is made from the books of each underta-
ker by your correspondent.
THE sCoURGED LOCALITY.
Every one of to-day's deaths occurred
west of Main street, and between Market
and Wolf river, but several new cases are
reported to have been moved from that To-
cation to other parts of the city, so that to-
morrow it may spread.
The authorities have at this late hour
begun purifying the city, by burning colo
tar in the infected localities, and tonight
are permitting the gas to escape from every
street lamp for three hours.
Nearly all those that died to-day were
Irish.
The schools have been closed and the
courts have adjourned.

YELLOW FEVER.
It's Ravages at Shreveport.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 14,-A Picdy,tlae
special from Shreveport says: "Ihe dis-
ease is the genuine yellow fever OF very
malignant type. 1t is almost Impossible
to arrive at any reliable information as to
whether there is any abatement or the fe-
yer. The sudden change in the weather
has proved fatal to the sick. The Howard
Association is well organized, and doing
noble service, but there is a general need
of assistance, in nurses as well as funds.
The city being almost depopulated, it is
imnossible to obtain sufficient number of
nurses to attend the sick. There are three
physicians from New Orleans-Drs. Hen
nv Smith, John j. Reilly and f. Finney.
DIR. Hurd is due tomorrow morning"
The Times this morning says the deaths
Yesterday far exceed those of any day since
the commencement of the epidemic. The
increased number of deaths was, no doubt,
owing somewhat to the sudden change in
the weather, as well as the increased num-
Der of sick. The sudden change from hot
and sultry, on Friday evening, TO cold and
chilly no doubt fastened some, as well as
TO develop the fever in others. The raw
and cold winds from the North had the
effect to purify the atmosphere, and, in the
opinion of our physicians, 1t Will be con-
duciye to the health of those who are now
well, and will assist many to recover who
have stood the ordeal of the sudden change.
1t is estimated that 800 persons are down
with the fever. The deaths SO far amount
to LAG.
THE DISEASE AT MEMPHIS.
The Appeal of the 18th says:
We take real pleasure in announcing TO
our readers this morning that the great
scare in reference to yellow fever in Mem
phis is exhausting itself; that the disease,
if il be yellow fever at all, is confined to
one locality, with a traceable local cause,
and, as the report of the secretary of the
board of health published in another col
umn will show, is rapidly narrowing thJ
circle of its operations. Only few deaths
have taken place in the last twenty-fouI
hours, and the precautions taken by the
city authorities, together with the favora'
BILE condition of the atmosphere, take away
all causes of undue alarm touching any
further spread of the disease.
A special from Memphis to the Louis
vile CoErier-JourHai, on the night of the

The agent, or go between Of the isries,

Gus kilograms, as he asserts, by authority
turns out to be AIr. William Campbell, a
weII-known drummer for q New Orleans
house, heretofore OF good character, hut he
obstinately refuses to give the names OF the
parties in Houston for whom he was getting.
When asked, II the party was a white man,
he answered yes, and when further interro-
gated, II he was an alderman, he refused to
answer. And so the matter stands, with
suspicion resting upon the whole body OF
aldermen, no one being pointed out as the
guilty one. OF course, the citizens Of
Houston are not satisfied with this cloud
hanging over their fair fame, and they in
sist on further investigation. It appears
from the Houston papers, that the city at
torney advised the board that they had
power to send to Galveston and arrest
Campbell and bring him before them, bat
we cannot see where the power comes from.
A civil suit for libel might be instituted,
and the truth elected in this way, but in no
other way that we can think of except by
unauthorized force The whole matter is
disgraceful in the extreme as it stands and
we think it should be sifted to the bot
tom and the guilty exposed and punished,
if there is any law for it. The idea of
specializing on quarsntines and the yellow
fever, matter supposed to involve life and
death, IS horrible to think of, and we trust
it may turn out to be without foundation
but at present it looks bad for somebody.
