MELVILLE, August 27.-Sam B. Dick,
commander of the knights Templar of Penn

from the treasury of the grand commandery,
and has telegraphed orders to all division
commanders to notify the subordinate COM

Three Cases IN Washington.
Special to the New Orleans Picayune.l
WASHINGTON, August 22.-Three cases of
yellow-feyer were reported to exist here to-
day. The parties were refugees from Mem
phis. The health-oficer made an examlna-
lion. and has decided that it is not yellow
fever, but mild form of malarial fever. He
refuses, however, to give the number OF the
house or the names of the parties. So far.
the only genuine case of yellow fever In this
city is that of a passenger from the south,
who stopped here about fifteen minutes In a
train from the south bound for NeY York.
The sanitary condition is excellent, and every
precaution is being taken to keep 1t up to the
present standard.
Mobile and the Fever.
New Orleans Times: The surgeon general
sticks to the assertion that there is yellow
fever In Mobile, and we are afraid that in
this question of veracity the surgeon general
must be regarded as the most disinterested,
and Therefore the most reliable witness. The
lact is, there has been a concurrence of ru-
NOR on this point, and we now have the
Of Mobile people themselves for
the assertion that the fever has made its APP
in that city. Several refugees are
now sojourning in Atlanta, and they posi-
lively state that there have been several cases
of fever in Mobile, and at least one death
from that cause on Friday last. AS they left
the same day, of course their testimony stops
here, but it is testimony far more credible
than the declarations of the Mobile board of
with the official information of the surgeon
general.
To the Catholics of the United states.
The following circular letter has been for
warded as directed. 1t is an appeal which

Irish heart. All contributions will be for the
