THE FEVER AT MEMPHIS.

Memphis is still scourged with the
yellow fever. A dispatch, dated yester'
day, says there isno signs of abatement.
Some of the physicians have given up
In despair, and fled the city. Still, the
majority remain, and are laboring night
and day. There is pitiful lack of COM
petent nurses. The four undertakes
are busy, and people are dying faster
than they can be buried. In some in
stances, the dying have been robbed by
nurses. Since the fever first appeared
in the city, nine hundred victims of the
fever have been buried.

THE poIAR1s CREW AT WASHINGTON


The secretary of the navy and per-
sonal friend arrived at the navy yard
yesterday afternoon, and was received
with the customary salute of thirteen
guns. He proceeded to the headquart
ers of Commodore Patterson, and after
brief conference was driven down to
the wharf near the ship house. where
the Tallapoose is lying, and he was re-
ceived by Captain McRitchie, the com.
mander of that vessel, and shown into
tho cabin on the upper deck.
There Capt. Buddington and party
were assembled. He was accompanied
by Capt. Crosby, the executive officer
of the yard. After some conversation
of a general character the secretary said
that the members of the party must be
exceedingly care nj as to their state
ments, and must say nothing but what
they were willing to swear to. After
twenty minutes the secretary had brief
private conference on shore with Capt
McRitchie, and left the yard. Captain
McRitcbie assembled to the upper deck
and informed Captain Buddington and
his men that the secretary had placed
no special restriction over their move
ments and that they were all at liberty
to go ashore if they desired, but they
would be expected to return clean
and sober by eight o'clock tomorrow
morning." Soon afterward DIR. Bessel
walked down the gang plank with long
leather-covered map case strung over
his shoulder and quit the yard. When
accosted, he answered quickly and hur-
ried away as if DESTROYS Of avoiding
questions.
1t is not believed that the examine
ton of the second party of the Polaris
survivors will produce any new facts in
addition to what was obtained at the
first investigation, excepting, of course,
occurrences after the division and separ
alton of the crew, and the examination
will be made chiefly in the interest OF
science.
The party now here have several OF
the records of the lost ship. The Sc.
cretary of the Navy, in conversation to-
day, said he did not credit the. reports,
which have recently been renewed, that
Capt. Halls death was the result of foul
means, and it appears that all who Were
present at the former investigation are
convinced that the commanding officer't
death was from natural causes alone.

A FEARFUL RIDE.-On Tuesday oflast
week, Ii tile MAGGIE, eight year old daugh-
ter of T. p. Hellings of Madison township,
had ride that for danger and hair
breadth escape, beats anything we have
ever recorded. Her father had driven
the team and wagon, upon which was
a hay rack, up to the barnyard gate, and
Maggie gained permission to drive thro' {,
which she did all right Her father, not
suspecting the least danger, allowed her
to drive on towards the stable. By some
means, the team started into q run, going
twice about the stable. AS they came
around the last time they made break for
gate over which they went smashing it
down with the wagon. A pile of rails was
next run over, aud then they ran at a fearful
pace about half mile through the fields
till they came to high and atrong board
fence. Nothing daunted, they cleare d it,
but the wagon, striking against post was
broken in two pieces, the hind part and
the rack remaining behind, while the fore
wheels with Maggie and the team went on.
II seems that before coming to the fence
she had slid down on tie front hounds and
as the rack flew up when the fence was
struck, she was carried out from under it.
For variety, the team next tried rail
fence and were as successful as before, GO
ing over it. They were then in Dan Cole
mans stable yard, and In trying to run
through cow shed got themselves fssten-
ed, and Mr.. Coleman lifted Maggie from
her perilous seat Hef parents coming up
at this moment began to search for Mag
gie's injuries. With tears in ner eyes she
told them she was not hurt but had lost
