in this city last evening, and was at once le-
moved to the quarantine hospital, his bag

New ORLEANS, Aug. "A heavy rain pre-
vailed yesterday. It was feared this would

ease. There has been no marked increase
for several days. Out of a total of 233 cases
there were sixty-ive children between l and
- years of age, nine of them being colored.

pose that nothing was the matter more than
very dull summer. There is more excite
ment elsewhere than there has ever been
here.
