Horrible story of the Fever.

Cincinnati Commercial: "While DR.. Carr
was at Gallipols, his attention was called to
a case of yellow-fever ten miles out from the
place, and, in company with a resident ply
stefan, rode out in buggy to the house of
small farmer by the name of Buck or Burke
whose son was the victim. DIR. Carr arrived
at the place after nightfall and found the
farmer sitting at a watch fire of pine-knots in
front of his domicIl, afraid to enter it, lest he
should catch the yellow-fever. The doctor
made known the object of his visit. The
man was glad to see him, for he SAID that all
the rest of the family had gone, scared away
by his boys horrible sickness. He thought
his boy was dead, for he had not heard him
for several hours, and did not dare 10 enter
the house. While they were TALKING a groan
was heard in the house. Dr. Carr took
brand and entered, and following the d.
Irections of the father, found the bedroom,
but not the patient. The place was in state
of disorder, and was filthy. An abominable
stencil pervaded it. and the three ground
floor rooms were smeared all over with black
vomit and other unutterable excreta of the
wretched victim. 1t was sickening sight.
DR.. Carr came out and told the father that
the young man was not inside. He must
be in there somewhere replied the man,
for heard him groan just now DR.. Carr
replenlshed his light and re-entered, and
after a careful search found what he thought
at first was a negro, covered with black and
filthy clothing, in a dirty corner behind the
cooking stove 1t was the wretched, aban-
doned and dying youth, covered with filth,
who, IN his delirium and search for water,
had crawled all over the dirty floors of the
cabin, and finally exhausted, sank down In
the corner to die. DR.. Carr learned that for
twenty-four hours no one had been near the
poor wretch His own flesh and blood for
sock him and fed, and there he suffered and
died In manner that freezes ones blood to
think of ~

a Brutal and COwardly Outrage.

Jackson Tribune and Sun: young How
lett, aged ten years, grandson of Mr.. Pledge,
the hotel man of Grand Junction, passed up
to Milan a few days ago, where his grand
father was staying. Being from an infected
town, although having stayed in it only few
hours, he could not remain IN Milan. His
grandfather, therefore, rented an isolated
cabin some mile or more from town, and
hired a negro woman to take the boy and stay
with him until the days of his quarantine
were completed. The first night the poor
boy attempted to stay in the cabin was a ter
rible one in his experience. A few persons
whom fear and cowardice had made brutes
went to the cabin at night, brickbatted
it, shot into it, and ran the poor little
fred shot after shot at him as he
fed in wild terror. The little fellow
frightened almost out of his life, remained
all night In the woods, wandering and hiding
in terror, shivering In the pitiless cold, and
almost crazed with a sense of loneliness and
danger, and expecting every moment to be
murdered. Next morning he crept into
Milan and his grandfather took the terrified
child to place of safety. Now we respect
quarantine, we respect the fears of the peo-
pie in these terrible times, but such treat
ment as this little boy received is simply in
human, and damns the authors, brutes and
towards. We know that the respected peo-
pie Of Milan condemn the acts denounced
by US fully as much as we do, and we further
know that the Milan authorities and quaran-
tine officers are guiltless of any connection
with the perpetrators, but they should hunt
down the guilty and see that they are pun
ished. They are evidently worthless and
low-down characters, and no community is
safe that holds them. For the facts upon
which our remarks are based we have re-
sponsible authors"

ChattanOOKa, Tenn.

Chattanooga Times, 22d: 1.-THE board of
health and other physicians met yesterday
morning at DR.. Sims's office. 1t was sug-
gested that camp should be established on
Missionary Ridge, to which families could be
removed who were in danger of infection
from the presence of yellow-fever cases in
the same houses. On motion, a committee
consisting of Drs. Wight and VanDeman
were appointed to confer with similar COM
mittee from the relief committee in regard to
establishing such camp. 1t was resolved
that upon the establishment of such camp
the board should appoint person to take
charge of it. Upon calling for reports of
cases of yellow-fever, five new cases were re-
ported. 1t is proper to state, however, that
these cases were of several days standing,
the nature of the disease not having been de-
cided until within the previous twentyfour
hours. DIR. Block will act as secretary of the
committee on the examination of nurses. 1t
is hoped that all who are willing to serve as
nurses will report to DR.. Block at his store
on Market street as soon as possible. The
board adjourned to meet at ten o'clock this
morning, at DIR. SIMS Office.

only for our own needs. but to enable us to
assist the people of our county and of the
villages of this and the adjoining States.
With hearts OVERLOOKING with gratitude for
your aid and sympathy, and prayers for your
welfare, we are your grateful servants.

1t is with deep regret, we announce this
morning the death, by yellow-fever, of Mr.
w. w. G. Miller. Mr.. Miller was from its
organization until he was stricken down with
disease, most competent and faithful
dttdche of the commissary department of
the Citizens Relief committee, and
thorough and painstaking assistant of Cap
tain MacCabe. His loss is severely felt, and
will long be deplored by those who knew his
many estimable traits of character. A native
of New Jersey, no man, north or south, ever
combined more manly elements of sincerity
than w. w. G. Miller. Green be the grass
above his honored grave.
Ripley Ne,os: Hon. Lewis Bond, of
Brownsville, prominent candidate for con-
gress In this district, upon learning that the
yellow-fever had made its appearance in that
city, and the citizens were fleeing in alarm
from the place, promptly quit his canvass
and returned home to nurse the sick and
dying and bury the dead, nobly endangering
his own life, in order to administer to the
wants and necessities of those whom poverty
and adversely had rendered unable to fly to
places of security. All honor to such a noble
spirit, and may kind Providence protect
and save him."
Holly Springs Reporter: Colonel Kin
loch Falconer, secretary of State, who has
been here nursing his father and brother,
was yesterday stricken down and obliged to
De taken nome, mucn against MS Will. Wnen
Colonel Walters position on the relief COM
mittee was made vacant by reason of his ILL
ness, Kinloch Falconer stepped forward when
called upon and accepted the place and its
arduous duties. He remained at this peril
GUS post of duty, working early and late for
the relief of our suffering community.
Brave, fearless, generous Falconer! the no.
blest place for man to die is where he dies
for his fellow-men.
New York World: Miss Helen George,
or Sister Ruth, as she was called, has been
connected with st. Mary's sisterhood for the
past two years. The sisterhood comprises
four houses in New York City, one in Peeks-
kill, on the Hudson, and one in Memphis.
Miss George was born in Newburg. She
worked for one year In Peekskill, and then
came to New York, where she remained with
the exception OF a vacation of two weeks,
which she spent at the house of Rev. George
D. Sullivan, in Middletown, New York. On
August 31st, in answer to a call from their
| branch house in Memphis, she went down
there to assist in nursing the yellow-fever
sufferers. Last Tuesday the Sister in charge
of the Trinity infrmary on Varlck street re-
| ceived telegram announcing Miss Georges
death
