for Mr.. Hardie). and DR.. Chopin, as proxy for
| DR.. Jones.
The President said that his object In calling
| the meeting was for the purpose Of adopting
| measures to ascertain the origin and cause of
yellow fever, and suggested that the object
might be attained by appointing a committee
| whose special duty would be to enter into the
work.
Mr.. Mott hereupon offered the following reso-
luton:
Whereas. it Is within the. province Of this
board to 'inauire into the origin and cause Of
yellow tf fever in New Orleans and other portions
| of the State of Louisiana; therefore, be 1t
Resol0ed. That commission Of nine mem-
bers., including tho president, be appointed to
| fever in New Orleans and other portions Of the
State OF Louisiana. and to suggest to the Legis-
lature of Louisiana such measures as will tend
| to prevent d recurrence Of the calamity
| At the request Of the president, DR.. fancy
gave, his views, He wanted to know, first,
tain Q report for transmission to the Legislature
Or to be given t. the. public at large.
Some desultory discussion occurred at this
| board or whether other persons should be ap-
pointed on the committee.
| DR.. fancy was in favor Of q wide range being
taken by the hoard, and that study of the
question should be made outside Of theories
and what has been written on the subject Of
yellow fever.
DR.. Chopin. In reply. said that with the short
time that the board had before it to make an
investigation and report to the Legislature.
and the want Of the necessary funds it would
be- impracticabe to go into an extended investi-
cation.
H II1t5 question REQUIRED szf1 5t m
the committee should be composed entirely of
members Of the Board Of Health, or whether
outsiders should be put upon the committee.
DR.. Chopin and Mr. Zacharie each spoke at
some length, both agreeing that the object of
apponting q committee OF investigation was to
facilitate the Board of Health in preparing an
Intelligent, report to the Legislature. in order
that that body and our congressman might
adopt general measures to preserve the city and
State from the recurrence Of the calamity.
The resolution of Mr. Mott was adopted with
an amendment that the committee consist of
five instead of nine members Of the board, at
the discretion Of the president

The executive committee Of the Citizens Tax

completed their parish ticket by making the
following nominations:
For Coroner for the Upper District, J. G.
Roche, the present incumbent; for Coroner for
the. Lower District. DR.. Thomas Layton; for
Pq1ce Judge Of the First and Fourth Districts
and Third Districts, Eugene staes.
All these nominations were made without
opposition and by. reclamation and therefore
the meeting was short one, but short as it was,
1t was stormy, and the sergeant at arms had
considerable work executing the orders Of the
chairman to seat members and clear the hall
It Is but fair to say. however, that the com
mittee, before adjourning subject to call. passed
resolution providing that the sergeants- at
arms should be paid for their 'arduous labors
and the noble and DISTINGUISHED manner in
which they had discharged them" The ser
geants- alarms appreciated the com pliment
and are now looking for somebody to issue war

ton.

Republican leaders at last confess that there
is q determination to have warrants issued for
the arrest Of prominent gentlemen IN Natchi-

the affidavit and that he will make it strong
enough is indicated by q remark which he was
heard to make Yesterday. 1t was made during
{. conyersation between him and ex-Lieut. Gov.
9. g. Antoine, who was evidently epdeavoring to
induce him to delay action until after the fever
had disappeared, because Of the liability Of the
to this city. Blunt said: They ran me off after
taxing my property to establish a quarantine :;
they ran me off and forced me to come to this
city, and am Just as liable to take the fever as
any one Of Them"
The warrants will probably be issued next
