The Yellow Fever Scourge.

FoRTY-oNE DEATHS AT MEMPHIS YESTERDAY.
MEMPHIS, october II, midnight.-There were
Al deaths from yellow fever during the past "a
hours.
DECREASE OF THE EPIDEMIC AT SHREVEPORT.
NEW YORK, October ia Shreveport dis
patch says: "The decrease in the epidemic
noted for some days continues. The number of
new cases is Insignificant. The territory over
which the epidemic RACES is so large that it is
difficult to get reliable reports from all quarters
the same day. A gradual decrease is acknOw-
ledged by all, Henry G. Hale, judge of the
Parish Court, died yesterday. About 80 black
vomit cases have recovered.
NEw YORK RELIEF FUND.

Episcopal church, was attacked yesterday with
the fever.
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF DEATHS.
The Howard Association reported three deaths
yesterday. The Masonic Relief Association
buried four and the St. Andrews Society one
yesterday. The mortuary report of yesterday
shows an increase of four in the total deaths,
three from yellow fever and one from other
causes. The total deaths are 81, of which Al
are from yellow fever. From reports from all
sources the result shows an increase in the death
rate, as expected, but large decrease i'm new
ing been waiting on the sick and laboring TO the
extent of physical exhaustion. 1t is safely con-
cluded that the disease is abating slowly The
reports are very favorable of the cases on the
hands Of the different committees, and physi-
clans say the fever is less malignant.

A 100000 DEFALCATION
Flight and Arrest Of the Defaulter

TIE NRw YORK STATE TREASURY SUFFERS
THIS TINE.
ALBANY, October 15.-Charles II. Phelps,
cashier in the treasury department of this state.
was arrested in Jersey City yesterday and
brought here charged with robbing the state
treasury of an amount of money supposed 70
reach $500 900. The state deposits are divided
between five or six banks of this city, and II
was the custom for the banks to send to the
comptroller's office on the first OF every month
duplicate of the treasurer's bank book, which
passed through the hands of the general book
keeper. The banks some time ago complained
OF this extra labor, and Phelps giving assurance
IL was entirely unnecessary, the general book
keeper dropped the duplicate set without the
knowledge either of the comptroller or treasu-
rer; thus but one set of books was left to be ma
nipulated. The general bOok-keeper was next
induced to accept in some instances the state
ment of the cashier of the balance in some one
of the banks without producing the bank books.
Phelps then charged a large sum TO a bank,
which its own statement (which was called for
a few days ago by the treasurer) showed il did
not have. 1t appears he also retained the cash
upon some of the drafts RENTED to him by
county treasurers. These drafts could not le-
gally be cashed without the endorsement of the
treasurer or his deputy, and any bank taking
these drafts upon the endorsement OF the cash
Ter only is liable and will be compelled TO re-
fund to the state. The treasurer is of the
opinion that the state cannot be the loser; that
when his operations were about TO be revealed
he phelps fed the state and wrote a note to
the treasurer, admitting that his accounts were
not entirely correct Mr.. Raines followed him
place Pbelds claimed that if allowed his
liberty two or three months he could re-
fund the entire amount. He said he had
used the money in speculations in New York,
but not in stocks, and would not say definitely
to what purpose he had applied il. lie also ad-
mitted that he had accomplices, but would not
give their names. He claimed that the money
was still largely under his control, and that he
would soon be able TO refund $1,000 of the
amount. He desired TO be left alone, that he
might be free to obtain and restore the money,
and propositions were also made from legal
sources to adjust the matter on some basis of
compromise. The treasurer, however, would
not assent 10 any arrangement which either set
tied the offense or permitted the offender to re-
main at large. He put detective on the track
of Phelps, obtained the necessary papers
from the governor, and yesterday had Phelps
arrested in Jersey CT y and brought here.
PHELPS FORMERLY IN WASHINGTON.
ALBANY, October 15.-Phelps was appointed
cashier by Treasurer Raines in the spring of
1872. He had occupied position of considera-
BILE trust in the Western Union telegraph Office
at Washington and also with Adams express
company. He was always considered trust
worthy by every body knowing him.

STEAM CANAL NAvIGATIoN-Fke coHpetitiOa
for the NeO York State PriEe.-The trial for the
etate (N. W prize OF 500, 900 for the best sys-
tenn OF navigating canals by steam commences
to-day. All boats competing for the prize are
required to rendezvous at Syracuse. The trial
will take place between Salt City and Utica
The difficulty TO be overcome is that Of the
wash of water on the sides of the canal, and IL
lie 90 nearly insurm Ountable that IL is doubtful
whether the large prize offered by the state will
prove sufficient to bring forward a satisfactory
invention. Some of the ideas suggested when
the prize was first offered were extremely novel,
but IL is doubtful whether they will all be prac-
tcally tried. One inventor proposed TO prOpeI
the boat by means Of immense revolving sails,
getting a purchase for his propelling power
against the air; another proposed 10 suck the
water nom the front of the boat and carefully
deposit it again al the stern, and third invent
ed series of revolving legs that were 10 crawl
along the bottom of the canal. There were
many others, however, Of much more promis-
ing character. The results of the trial NAV de-
velop some really useful system Of steam canal
