AT MEMPHIS.
MEMPHIS, Oct. 19.-The weather turned
cold yesterday afternoon and continued to
grow colder, till at midnight the thermom-
eter stood at 45o. As morning neared the
mercury fell still lower, and this morning
good white frost is perceptible. This is
the first frost of the season, as that claimed
by some yesterday morning was based on
the fond hopes of people who slept late.
Reports from the suburbs are not hope
full, as the cold snap is telling with fearful
effects upon those who went into the un-
comfortable temporary quarters at the out
break of the fever. Cold weather prevents
the spread of the fever, at the same time it
is almost certainly fatal to those down with
it. This fact makes the dread of taking the
disease in the last stages of the epidemic
more terrible.
