very poor, the room he is in being with
out fire or stove and in consequence OF
the death of the proprietor OF the hotel
Mr.. Carter, am unable TO get one that
has. This is rather unfortunate, as the
weather is very changeable. However,
will do the best | can, and shall stay
with him until he is able to move about,
(which / think will be by the end OF the
week. unless otherwise ordered. | have
engaged a German to assist me at two
dollars per day.
Respectfully, ID. MALLAM.
NEW CASES.
Mr.. Eugene Leidy, the halter, was
taken with the fever this morning about
o'clock, at his residence, l03 Adams
street. He was apparently as well as
ever yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Simon Loeb, of the firm of j. H.
Fadeck & Co., returned from Terrene,
Miss, by boat last Thursday; was taken
sick on the boat, and up to yesterday
was doing well. To-day he is quite low
with yellow fever.
Mr.. G. II. Judah, of the firm of Walker
Bros, was taken with fever last night at

MISCELLANEOUS.
The first draft of the Towards for
$500 was presented to-day at the Mayors
office and paid,
The new hospital on Promenade street
is nearly ready for occupation, and will
be opened for patients tomorrow.
More applications were made for
nurses at the Howard headquarters to-
day than could be furnished.
Near the hour of going to press we
learn that of the nine patients under
charge of thelOdd Fellows Relief Com
mittee none of them are doing so well
to day, except Mr.. Wheaton, senior. W.
II. Wheaton, it is feared, is in critical
condition.
There is great restitution among many
of the patients who belong to the poorer
classes. Good nursing and nourishment
are all important. The scenes of want
and suffering encountered by members
of the Howard Association in the neigh
borhood of Happy Hollow are often of
the distressing character. The work OF
building an addition to the city hospital,
25xl25 feet, is going on rapidly, and it
will perhaps be ready for occupation by
the last of the week.
DEATH OF FATHER DAILY.
Rev. Raymond Daily died at eight
o'clock this morning of yellow fever.
Father Daily was attached to St. Peter s
Church, and has been in Memphis about
one year. For the last four weeks he
has been conspicuous in the locality
where the fever has been most preya'
lent. At all hours of the day and night
he was to be seen cheering the afflicted
and giving comfort to the dying, regard
less of the consequences to himself. de
was taken down two days since, but the
disease had too strong hold to be dis
lodged, and the young Dominican gave
up his life like the martyrs of old-for
the benefit of mankind. His funeral
takes place from St. Peters Church to-
morrow morning at ten o'clock. Requi'
eScat IN pace.

ties at noon to-day reveals tue "eiOOS
fact that the disease is not spreading to
any great extent, and as will be seen oy
