Chris Muller, young man who returned
from Brownsville, Tenn, a few days ago,
and has since been living with his parents
at No. 142 West Liberty street. was taken
with the yellow fever yesterday and i'm
transferred to the Hospital. The
Sanitary Officers soon after visited his
house, fumigated his room, and carried all
the clothing and the bed of the patient to
Deer Creek where they were burned.
GOING SOUTH.
Yesterday tire Health Officer received a
letter from Dr. Collins stating that more
help was needed, and soon after DR.. J. G..
Orr and Dr. II. L. Lowry started for Mem
phis as physicians, and Mrs. Bryan Mrs.
Buchanan, Mr.. p. A. Vela, Mr. Uphotf and
Mr.. Pillman as nurses. Miss Emma Reeder
and Miss Lizzie Tempin, of Walnut Hills,
applied to the Mayor last Tuesday for passes
to go South, but he replyed that he would
not not sign their death warrant. They
then applied to the Health Officer with no
better success. Nothing daunted they took
advantage of the slight reduction in the
rates, paid their own fare, and started for
Memphis.
A party of seventeen persons, seven ladies
and ten men, nearly all of whom have had
experience in yellow fever, passed through
this city last evening from Washington
City to Memphis By the kindness of Mr..
Lancaster, of the Marietta Road Captain
Peabody, of the 0. & NJ. Road, and Mr..
Baly, of the Cincinnati Omnibus Company,
they were allowed time, and furnished
transportation, to partake of an elegant
supper prepared gratuitously for them by
the praprietors of the Burnet House and
proceeded on their way.

with eighteen nurses and physicians aboari,
will arrive at the Little Miami Depot this
