lHE NEW 1Ohh CASE.
New York, Sept 1.-The supposed case
of yellow fever reported to the Health
authorities on Saturday has caused consid-
cradle excitement in this city The victim
is Mrs. James Celle, who arrived here with
her husband few days ago from Cincin-
natl, having fed from Memphis July 17th
Mrs Celle was prematurely confined six
days ago, and after the birth of the child
she grew very feyerish, while her sallow
complexion became very yellow. Celle
insists that his wife is not suffering from
yellow fever. He informed the doctors that
ten years ago, when she was attacked with
the disease, he successfully treated her by
employing the cupping process
Two THOUSAND DEATHS IN FIVE CITIES.
New York. Sept 2.-Reports from New
Orleans, Memphis and Vicksburg show that
the yellow fever is spreading in those cities,
and that the need for aid is becoming more
pressing. Several small towns in Tennessee
and Mississippi are said to be infected. In
five of the principal cities and towns in the
infected districts the total death list foots
up nearly two thousand to date.
HERO SLEEPS AT LAST.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2. A Gren-
ada, Miss. special says yesterday
was beautiful Sabbath morning at half
past o'clock brave and noble Wyatt NJ
Redding breathed his last At 10 o'clock
all that remained of him lay in the grave
yard. Only two persons accompanied the
hearse to the grave, the driver and negro
boy. AS DR.. Peopler aptly remarked: 1--WE
bury the dead as we ship merchandise, and
yet in times like these no one can be spared
to follow the dead" Those who are alive
have to be attending the others.
Wyatt M. Redding was al native of Mar
shall County Miss, and twenty-three years
old. His death soon followed the shaft
which laid him low. He was taken sick
Friday afternoon last and died on the
morning of Sunday. His partner and sue
ccssor, young Hayburg is resting as well as
can be expected. The Western Union
operator at this point, Mr.. Tom Marshall,
lies severely ill. He lost three children but
has his good wife left and one child sick
Mrs. DR.. Hughes died yesterday morning.
Her husband died Saturday. DR.. E. w.
Hughes was the most prominent physician
in Grenada, and in fact of all North Mis-
sissippi His last words were to his at
tendant physician, DIR. w. P. Beatty. of
Mobile, Alabama: PLEASE have me buried
like a gentleman and physician" Dr.
Beatty saw that it was done,
laying him out and dressing his
body with his own good old hands, and he
followed the corpse to lis last resting
place. This is not often done, because
there is no one to do it and no time to
spare, as already stated. The coffin goes
unattended to the grave, where it is re-
ceived by the grave-digger and his assist
ants, who deposit it in its last resting
place.
WARRIOR FROM KENTUCKY.
Dr. Geo. w. Wolf, of Paducah Ky., ar
rived yesterday, attended by negro nurse
to help US. AS he had never seen case of
yellow fever we told him to leave the nurse,
but for him to return at once. He said :
mo, he had come to be of what little use
he could, and was going to stay"
We brought him into town, and he is now
in charge of the hospital, where he can OBJ
serve better than i'll any other way the dis
ease and its treatment from the dawn to
the night. He comes with The full knowl-
