ANOTHER PORTER VICTIM.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 6.-Another young
man, Jas. Myers, OF Gallipolis, Ohio, who
has been temporarily employed upon the
ill.fated steamer Porter, died OF yellow
fever yesterday. Considerable uneasiness
Is felt in that region, yet no one has been
taken sick that has not had something to
do with that boat. A large amount OF bed
clothing, mattresses, and the like was
thrown overheard from the boat when in
charge OF DR.. Carr, and it is thought that
the people down the river caught them Us
they tloated down and have them on their
fences, intending to make use of them
after frost.
