THE SCENE IN NEW ORLEANS.
new ORLEANS, Aug. 30.-At meeting of
the Board of Health last night the origin of
the epidemic was discussed, and from data
furnished it was plausibly argued that it
could be traced to the ship Souder. DIR.
Chopin gave in full the result of his ex-
pertinent with ice-water spray. He believes
the treatment to be eminently successful,
although the patient operated upon died,
his kidneys having been inactive since last
Wednesday night. The Doctor attributes
this to the fact that the man was in the last
stages when brought to the hospital, and he
claims that if this treatment is pursued in
the incipiency of the disease, 1t Will always
prove successful
The Board discussed the progress of the
epidemic, and members were unanimous in
their belief that it was utterly beyond hui
man control, and would have to run its
course, unless some great and rare meteor
illogical change takes place. The proba-
bility is strong that the city will be swept
throughout. A strange feature was brought
to light yesterday by comparative statistics
of convalescent and fatal cases, was the fact
that mortality among the negroes attacked
is nearly sixty per cent. So fatal indeed is
the disease that when full-blooded negro
is seized he abandons hope at once.
Many of the best physicians in the city
now are refusing to visit new cases, having
their powers already taxed to the utmost.
TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN MEMPHIS.
MEMPHIS Aug 30-All classes are going
down with the fever white and black, old
and Young natives and acclimated, like
others, although not so generally Physi-
clans and ministers, with nurses and other
assistants, are falling before the dreadful
disease and the situation of affairs is ap-
palling.
A number of deaths from fever are re-
ported from the country places adjacent to
Memphis.
The Howard Association, in answer to
many kind offers from physicians and
nurses, says the services of all such persons
as are acclimated will be gladly received
but the Association deems it unwise to en-
courage any to come from northern latl-
tudes, as such persons are extremely liable
to contract the disease.
Thieves add trouble to places and not q
day or night passes that number of burg
laries do not occur. A very unfortunate
affair occurred yesterday morning. Burg
lars had made frequent raids upon the
premises of 0. j. Kennedy, in a southern
suburb. Wednesday night Kennedy took
his stand in his stable hoping to capture a
thief. J. c. Hall, young man living with
Kennedy, at the solicitation of the latter's s
wife, went out at O'Clock in the morning
to relieve Kennedy Without Ken
l,ioE Enou1nIpa Hall yrollo1 mr. nnintlu
and. on opening the stable door, Kennedy
discharged his gun at whom he supposed to
be the thief, resulting i'll the instant death
of Hail. Kennedy is very much distressed,
though he was entirely exonerated before a
magistrate. They were both members OF
the same Masonic Lodge.
AT vICKsBURG.
V1cKsBURG, Aug. 30.-About 100 new
cases and 20 deaths were reported yester-
day, and 16S altogether. The weather has
been very inclement and the death rate
will be necessarily large to-day. There are
over 700 hundred cases still under treat
ment.
THE PHILADELPHIA CASES.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 90.-The two yell
low fever cases, which were first noticed
in the city Sunday last, will not, it is be-
lieved result fatally. The treatment in
these cases has been of very mild descrip-
ton. The doctors administered Dover's pow
ders to produce perspiration, then small
doses of quinine followed, the patient be-
ing fed on beef tea and milk, with small
quantity of lime-water in it. Antonio Bon
ELI has also been given stimulants in small
doses. Emil his brother, has so far recov-
cred as to be almost convalesCent The rest
OF the Bonelli family, who came from
Yicksburg, have as yet shown no signs of
fever.
SITUATION AT GRENADA.
New YORK, Aug. 30-A Grenada special
says: General Anderson was removed to
fernando, about nineteen miles east OF
Memphis. He has been the mainstay OF
our whole organization, and we now seem
to be without head. We have at present
nurses enough for all wants, unless they
also are taken down. In Canton the fever
is increasing. Many negroes are victims,
fact that explodes the theory that full
blooded African is no target for the yellow
mark.
Four of the medical fraternity are pros
trated with fever, and one has died. Bill
Reding is still down with overwork, and
the doctors fear it is case of Yellow Jack.
News from Water Valley reports great
excitement at that point owing to the ap-
pearance of another case. The victim is
Miss Powell a lady who was nursing Kinny
Lees
BRIGHTER PROSPECTS AT HOLLY SPRINGS.
At Holly Springs all the victims pros
trated last week are recovering. Two deaths
since last report, and no fresh victims.
