have proper treatment at home. Dr.
W. Il. Rogers has offered to take charge
Of it.
Eighteen applications were made for
nurses to-day up to noon. Four were
wanted for new cases. The 9th ers were
old cases, and some OF them sick from
other causes than yellow fever. Nurses
are supplied wherever absolutely need
ed, regardless Of the disease. Nurses
have been sent to two colored families,
and all such are treated just the same as
the whites, although the former seldom
take the disease, and only the two applf.
cations mentioned have been made.
Hon. Barbour Lewis called this morning
and subscribed $50 to the relief fund,
and said he would give $50 more if ne
cessary.
Seventy nurses are employed by the
Association, including the fifteen profess
sional female nurses from Mobile who
arrived Saturday night. The supply is
about equal to the demand. Everything
about the Association is in good working
order, and its labors have been bl essed
with highly favorable results.
THE ODD FELLOWS.
The Odd Fellows Relief Comm ittOe
is ready to meet every demand for
nurses and attention coming from lem
bers of the order or their immet late
families.
Mr.. Harmon, of the firm of Har mon
Bros, is low with the fever, and little
hope is entertained OF his reco very.
His brother, B. S. Harmon, has also
taken the disease and is nursed ly the
Odd Fellows. H. u. Cornell. the lum-
Der man, is likewise sick, and is under
the charge of the Relief Committee. He
is doing well. The Wheatons are also
doing we'll and likely to recover.
Mr. w. S. Bruce, an old and worthy
member of the Order, called at the
meeting of the committee this morning
and told them if funds were needed to
draw on him to an unlimited amount.
Mr.. r. ]. Walker, who has the fever at
Paris, is. better. A telegram was received
from him to-day at eleven o'clock.
Four brothers of the order, just taken
down, were supplied with nurses this
morning: Mr.. Harmon, brother Of
the one mentioned above, at l49 Main
street. Mr.. Blackburn, of 3Ol Adams
street; Mr.. Warden, of 81 Second street,
and another name not known.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The disease is less malignant than at
first, or is treated better, but it has
spread over wider ground. Several cases
have been reported in South Memphis,
though some of them went from North
Memphis, or had been there waiting on
the sick. The work of distributing coal
tar to all quarters of the city is going
on rapidly to-day. We advise every
family to supply themselves with
quantity, as it costs nothing, and burn
it without delay. The indications are
not favorable. Prompt measures must
be adopted to stay the disease, which
now threatens to overrun all parts of the
city.
