MEMPHIS, Oct. 3.-The panic to-day
from the large increase of yellow fever
deaths, and the further spread of the dis
ease to nearly every psrt of the city, has
caused the sudden exit from the city OF
nearly five thousand people, many of whom
have keen taken III at small towns, whittier
they went, where they now are unable to
procure proper msdical attention. The re.
suit must certainly be large number OF
deaths. The Odd Fellows have fully twen-
ty five members sick with the fever tonight,
and have regular nurses but for fourtee o,
the brethren supplying the wants of the
remainder. The Masonic Order has fifteen
sick whom they are providing for, and bury
from one 20 two daily. AS yet, they have
not been compelled TO ask aid from abroad.
A startling Injunction.
The city was somewhat startled this al
ternoon by the announcement that Judge
Flippin, of the Criminal Coart, who is now
in Brownsville; bad issued an injunction re-
straining the Mayor and Howard Relief
Association from continuing to use the
building recently rented by the Howards,
and located on Promenade Street, In the
midst of the infected district, as an iDfiI-
mary, longer than to-day. The Injunction
also foroids the occupation of any building
in the city limits as an infrmary. The ae-
ton of the Judge at this critical moment.
when hundreds are down with the fever al d
have no place except the infrmary 10 be
carried to, is severely criticised by the put
lie, and the papers in the morning will Gen.
sure him severely.
The Mayor and Howards will pay no at
.ention to the writ, however, and the latter
will continue their work as usual notwith-
standing the threats made to burn the
building down. There are in it tonight
nearly nine cases, and dozen more are
ready to be carried there.
The HOwards Out Of Money.
The Howards are out of money tonight,
but will have came tomorrow, thanks to
the liberality of number of business firms
of Louisville, Cincinnati, Chicago, st. Louis

nations, that from the Board of Trade of
Chicago being one thousand dollars, tie
total amounting perhaps to five thousand
dollars. This amount will last three or
four days, and in the meantime the city
government may adOps measures tomorrow
to obtain further funds by the disposition
of its paper. The suffering in the mean
time will be immense, and we must still
look to other cities for assistance.
