From the Shreveport Times, July 81:
From the Dallas Herald We learn that
Mr.. Wheelock represents in Dallas that the
cash subscriptions to the New Orleans Pa
cifc Railroad. h New Orleaus, amount to
nearly a million dollars. He also stated
that the four parishes lying between Alex
andris and the Texas line, have made an
aggregate subscription to the road Of seven
hundred thousand dollars, to be paid in
grading and cross ties. The subscriptions
are very no UGH larger than we were aware
of. The last statement in the New Orleans
papers was. that the cash subscriptions in
New Orleans amounted to but $l65, 900.
The four parishes between Alexandria and
the Texas line are Rapides, Eatchitochee,
DeSotS and Caddo. We know that neither
Caddo nor DeSoto hasas yet subscribed
snything-indeed, Oaddo has not been
asked to do so-and We had not heard OF
any action on tho part Of Natchitoches and
Rapidee. Possibly there il some error in
these figures.
The body Of Sergeant Charlie. II. jenkins,
Company X, Third Infantry, was found on
Thursday last uDder tree in the neighbor
hood Of the federal camp, on Fairfield
avenue. Modification had set in when the
body was found, aud the suppositiOn is
death had taken place about twenty four
hours previous. From an examination made
by the post surgeon it appears that death
was caused by coup de soliel.
We learn from responsible citizen that
ence Of yellow fever An this city. Our in
formant has had the daughter Of 2 friend
in Marshall staying here with his family
for several months past. Yesterday she re-
ceived letter from her mother in Marshall
stating that it was reported yellow fever
was in this city, and she must return home
Immediately. We have already stated that
such FumOrs are false and unfoupded, and
in proof Of our statement We give the fol-
health officer of this city, DR.. A. Il. Booth:
Number Of deaths for tho month OF July,
nineteen, Of which fourteen were negroes
and five whites; of the nineteen seven were
children under five years of age; of the
Eve whites two came to their deaths by
violence and one by sunstrOke.
Tbsse were only two cases Of fever fin
in the whole nineteen deaths.
This We regard a. healthy an e1hibis as
can be shown by any other city OF aimilar
size, and = complete rebuttsl Of the ma
1;oto Is. To- no
Of deaths among TIE whites for the llonth
OF July, 1875, 10 thirty per cent less than
during the same month last year, while tho
sanitary condition and general health Of
Shreveport at present are far better than at
any corresponding time in the last FIVE
years.
