Monday Noon.
To the Associated Press. s
MEMPHIS, Oct. ia slight frost this
morning inspired new hope. Very few new
cases are reported up to noon. An impor-
tant feature noticeable In the disase Is that
it soon runs Its course to recovery or death.
Many of the cases attacked week ago are
on the street, while those attacked earlier
are still confined to their rooms. The NOR
tuary report from noon yesterday to noon
to-day Is AZ, of whice SO are from yellow
fever, and six from other causes, against 90
from all causes, AZ from yellow fever and
Is from other causes, from Saturday noon
to Sunday noon. Trains leaving the city
continue crowded.
Prominent Deaths.
Geo. II. Plummer, prominent Mason,
w. F. McLefresh, commission merchant,
are among the dead reported at noon. The
Magnolia and Tivoli, two of the largest beer
balls in the city, both owned by Quintall q
Sons, are closed this morning for lack of
business.
The Deaths Yesterday.
One death is reported from the Walthsm
Infirmary and discharged. and 9 from all
sources under the immediate care of the
Howard association. Seven new cases
were admitted to tn, Waltham Infrmary.
It is estimated that less than 10000 persons
remain in the city during the night. Large
numbers attend business during the day
and go to country homes.
Prominent Citizens Prostrate.
Gen. Marcus j. Wright, of the editorial
staff of the Register, is reported very low
with fever. Mrs. A. j. Wheeler, wife Of
A. j. Wheeler, Secretary of the Masonic
Relief Board, has relspsed and is reported
quite low. The S.. Andrews Relief Com
mittee report but three cases in their charge,
all doing we'll.
The Night Report.
8. P. M.-From the latest information
that can be gathered a slight check is man
ifest in the msIady, though it is almost i'm
possible to get reliable statement. Inter
views with physicians show difference Of
opinion as TO the check, but all aaree the
disease passed the worst, and the new cases
are less malignant and fewer in number,
and the appearance that a succession OF
frosts will follow the one of this morning,
it Is safe to conclude that there will be no
more violent outbreak. The fatality will
necessarily be heavy for week or ten
days, but aside from this more hopeful
feeling prevails.
There was more business apparent to-
day, many merchants receiving and ship
ping large bills. Several houses to-day
| closed their doors to remsin so until the
| affection is entirely subsidized, as the bust
ness doing does not justify the expense OF
keeping open The work Of Gearing and
disinfecting the streets and alleys is going
on vigorously. Carloads of lime were
strewn In The cutters on each side of the
street, yesterday, and the Board of Health
! are doing everything with the means at
hand, and urging the citizens to use the
prescribed disinfecting agents about their
] premises, so that it is believed IN few days
more, the poison that has produced such
terrible results win be effectuslly cradle ated.
Contributions received by the Howard Re-
lief Association to-day, from all sources,
| amounted to $T,742. 06.
In the Country.
| Several cases of yellow fever are reported
| to-day ct various points near the city on
/ the lines of railroads, but il Is attributed to
persons going from the city with infection
| in their system.
Capt. Ross, Superintendent of the Char
lesion Railroad to-day, notified the Citizens
Board of Relief, that he would furnish
Half Fare Tickets
to poor people during the prevalence of the
| present epidemic.
Complaint was made at the meeting of
| Citizens Relief Committee this afternoon,
that too many hale, hearty men and
women made application for relief
| at the different depots where supplies are
| distributed to the sick and destitute, which
was accounted for from the fact that work
has been discontinued at all the foundries,
| saw mills and planning mills in the first
| ward where a greater number were stu
ated, and very little is doing in similar es-
adjustments elsewhere in the city, which
makes dependents of many of that class OF
laborers.
Observer Rice, of the Signal Service
Bureau, is one Of the most active members
! of the Howard Association of this city, and
has rendered efficient service in allevisting
suffering. kt

orable, showing Al from all causes and 81
from yellow fever, and 9 other cases. A fall
ing off of 10 from all causes and from The
prevailing malady. In view of the sudden
change in the temperature yesterday and
last night, sufficient to produce frost thil
morning, this falling off was not looked for
