ANOTHER TERRIBLE DAYS RECORD
Memphis, Sept. 8.-Anothcr sad
day has passed, and near d huu-
dred fresh mounds are added to
our cemeteries and the POtter'S
field. Total number of interments
reported up to & pm. are II, with
one firm OF undertakers to hear
from, which makes the deaths this
day in the neighbOrh0od OF 100.

have been made to-day. Physicians
are so pressed for time that the
majority prefer to violate the ordi-
nance requiring them to report to
n~eglecting the sick. Six resident
ply Sicians report SO cases, and it
is safe to assert that the number OF
new cases today is near 200.
Among those reported are Rev. Il.
