MEMPHIS.

MEMPHIS Tenn, Sept. 29,-The fever is evil
IDENTIFY on the decrease. DR.. Mitchell, medical
director, informed me this was the case this |
evening, though it was spreading in the coun- |
try. Additional nurses were sent to Paris, |
Germantown and Collierville this afternoon. |
Also to Decatur, Alabama. There is great |
falling off in applications for supplies at the |
relief department, due to careful Investigations
made by the committee into the needs of petit |
tionless. This has been determined upon by the |
conduct of the negroes, as they have been seen
exchanging their rations for whisky, tobacco,
clothing, etc., as soon as they get beyond the
observation of the supply officers.
MEMPHIS, Sept. 29.-To-day has been a re-
markably quiet one. Thirty-two deaths from

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 29.-The stories of yellow
fever here are entirely disproved by the num-

excitement and the fact that all are pursuing
their usual avocations and nobody Is anxious
to move away. Railroad agents here say travel
is lighter than it has been for some time past.
