The Union ard Orangemen-Expeefs
Ell Conflict,
OTTAWA, August l3, IL IN. No dis
turbance has as yet occurred. The
0rangemen have dispersed, but the
Catholics, numbering over 5000, ere still
on the streets in the vicinity Of St. Pat
riok's Hall. One of the leaders having
stated that it was their intention to
march to the upper part Of the town and
demolish the residences Of prominent
0rangemen, Mayor Bangs ordered out
the foot guards. They are under the
command Of Colonel Ross, and are o
stationed at the head Of Sussex street
awaiting orders. Speeches we're made
by Catholic leaders, some of whom eoun-
seled the crowd to act ia an orderly
ner and not fight till they we're attacked,
and others encouraging them to march
through the upper portion Of the town
and have revenge for last nights pro-
ceedings. These iuhammatory speeches
excited them, and at one time it was
thought that the alvice would be
acted on, and a start was really
made, but Stores and Lefrabre
finally succeeded in making the crowd
alter their determination. Union men
are all wearing handkerchief around
their arms, and are armed with hard
wood sticks. They intend to remain on
watch till 5 o'clock in the morning,
a rumor having been set aAoat that the
Britons would burn down the cathedral.
am Between IL and l o'clock q
prominent Orange leader named Jacob
Holt veutured down Sussex street, in the
vicinity OF the Revere House, but a short
distance from where the Union men are
stationed, when he was pouneed upon by
the mob and badly beaten. He escaped
down Clarence street, and was subse.
quently moved to Conquero Station,
where his wounds are being dressed.
They are Of a dangerous character.
The crowd shows no sign of dispensing.
"a m.--The military now extend in
line across Sussex street, about six
blocks from the Unionists, who are still
talking loudly among themselves. The
mayor went down and promised the
crowd if they would go home, he would
guarantee that no one disturbed them,
and if any damage was done after they
left, he would pay for it himself. This
was satisfactory to most Of the crowd,
and Alderman Stores, who was one Of
those in charge Of the Unionists, had al
most persuaded them to go home, when
a young lawyer named Kehoe, president
Of the Union, told them hat the mayors
offer was not worth anything, aud
changed the feeling of the crowd to such
an extent that they'refused to hear any
more from the mayor, and decided to
remain till daylight. Fears are yet en-
tertaiued that they may ceue in COLI
sion With the military.
2:30 a.m.-The Union men are still in
Sussex street. and likely to reman till
daybreak. A gang is now marching up
and down the street with pitchtorks
singing, We'll hang Mayor Bangs to a
sour apple tree" Kehoe's conduct i;
generally condemned.

right name) which ensued yester-

known, through official announce

People rushed to the ticket Offices

Virginia City Enterprise,l
Now that the ladies are becoming
interested in archery, the Piutes
are doing a thriving trade in ar
rows. They make excellent feather
tipped arrows, but their bows are
too stiff to be used by ladies-not
many white men can draw an ar
row to its head with a Pluto bow.
1t causes the Piute brave to smile
from ear to ear to see the "white
squaw" %practicing at a target with
bow and arrow; it seems wonder
ial to them hat any one can shoot
so wide Of the mark, Ths Pluto
squaws shoot much better, yet it Is
net easy for them to bend the heavy
bows used by their lords. Yet they
manage to do very well. A squaw
will throw herself on her back. clap
both feet to the bow, draw the ar
row with both hands aud letting
drive send it clear through the
body Of o deer.

view ofthis possibility those whopr
pose to go out Of the city a short
distance and stop until it is safe to
return might as well go as soon as
they can get ready. Remaining or
going a few days sooner or later
will not greatly affect the sum total
of the result. Whilst we still hope
aud believe that Memphis will have
only a very light visitation of yellow
fever, we think, as a matter of pre-
caution and to be on the safe side,
that those who have relatives or
friends in the country with large
farm houses could spend a few weeks
there very pleasantly, and others,
having the means, might as well
travel around up the country
until the opening of the bust
season. There is always
more sickness than usual here
at this season Of the year. At the
end of a long heated term, such
as we have just passed through,
the system becomes relaxed, vitality
is reduced, and there is less force left
to resist disease ofany kind. We have
a long warm and perhaps a sultry
spell Of weather before usyet. Frosts
do not strike deep until sometime in
October. There is but little bust
ness going on, and will not be for
a month or more. 1t is almost as
cheap living in the country as in the
city, we see no reason why peo-
pie should not go away for a while,
and many good reasons can be adj
duced in favor of such a course.
So we SAY, keep cool, take your
time about it, and leave in a ration
al, b~usiness-like manner.

revision Of aha Bible.

DR.. Schaff, speaking of the re-
vision of the bible, sums up some
of the important points as follows:
1. The translation will be made
from a greatly improved text. Since
our present version was made seve-
raj hundred manuscripts of the
Greek Testament have been discov-
cred and compared, chief among
which are the Vatican and Sanai-
tic. 2. Errors of Typography and
of grammar which are found in the
present will not be found in the
new version. For example, "strain
at q gnat," will be correctly rem
dered, "strain out a gnat." Inexact
traHslations, many instances of
which are found in our bible, will
be corrected. 3. Words which are
obsolete, if they have a meaning
that is not understood, and words
which are still used, though with a
changed Specification, such as pre-
vent and let, will not be retained.
4. The new bible will have a differ
ent arrangement from the old one.
The prose portions will be printed
in paragraphs, as the sense shall
require, and the poetical portions
will be printed in the form of poe
try, according to the laws of He
brew parsllelism, The arrange
ment of chapter and verse may be
retained on the margin.
Notwithstanding all these changes
the new bible," says DR.. Schaff,

OUR SANITARY CONDITION.

OUR SANITARY COhDlrlONs
The popular impression that yell
low fever is only generated and
spread in large cities receives a
serious sheck in the cratic course
the disease has taken this season.
1t is very mild at New Orleans, and
the mortality is quite light in pro-
portion to the population, while
Grenada, a small place of say $500
persons, white and black, several
hundred miles farther north, suffers
fearfully. 1t is also reported that
the fever has appeared at Winona
and Canton, on the Mississippi
Central railroad. From this it
seems that yellow fever is not
confined to the larger cities,
but may break out wherever there
is filth and other unfavorable sani-
tary conditions. Five years ago
when Memphis had such a terrible
visitation, Shreveport, a smaller
place, suffered far more in proper
ton to population, while New Or
leans escaped altogether. 1t seems
likely that we will escape with a
light brush Of it this time, while
small interior towns may suffer.
We have all been slow to learn the
Importance Of sanitary measures.
Memphis is in a better condition
than for many years, and still is not
as clean as the place should be.
We have but few sewers, and the
system of drainage is imperfect,
but a liberal use of d~isinfectants
has, we hope, counteracted the 9TH
erwise bad influences arising from
our system. The best investment
Memphis can make for the future
would be an active board of health
and a good system of sewerage
Our immunity from epidemicS de.
ponds upon these conditions. A
spasmodic cleaning up on the sur
face once a year or once in three
years will not answer. 1t will cost
agood round sum to keep Memphis
clean and thoroughly disinfected
all the year round, but it will cost
ten times as much, to say nothing
of the loss Of life, to have the yellow
fever once in five years. Memphi;
can be made as healthy a place
as any city in the country, and
when this is once done the
value Of property will increase
and men of means will come
here, make investments ant
build up beautiful homes. If the
sound sanitary measures which the
LEDGER has urged for the last five
years had been enforced regularly
our people would not b.
