and relatives. His father died on Monday
morning, the ninth instant.
Darius Brooks, who has been carrying
the APPEAL on the Fort Pickering route, and
was the last newspaper carrier In the city car
ring route, is now down with the fever.
Up to this time he has shown no dangerous
symptoms, and we have strong hopes OF his
early recovery.
Mr.. H. L. King, who has been on duty
with the Masonic relief committee ever since
the fever commenced, was stricken yesterday.
He is an old man, and no doubt much pros
trated by the arduous duties he has performed,
but if medical skill and good nursing are of
any service, he will be saved.
Seven of the dear little waits of the
Leath orphan asylum are down with the fe-
yer, and forty others are exposed to the poi
son. IL is too late to move them, and every
provision for their safety has been made.
Every mothers heart in the Union will be
quickened by this sad news.

The report of subcommittee appointed
to investigate the management of the South
ern Methodist Publishing House by DIR. A.
H. Bedford, its former agent, brings out some
painful and interesting disclosures relative to
that divine's control of the affairs of that in
stitution, and shows that he worked m re in
his own interest than that of the concern,
which he now owes $25, 900.
Mrs. Bacigalupo, better known as Nine
Vincent, was buried on Sunday. She had
lived in Memphis many years, and raised
large family. By industry and excellent bust

-Corinth Sub-Soi1er: "We learn that
the APPEAL, of the fourteenth instant an
nounced that our particular friend, Mr.. w
S. Brooks, would be out out on Monday, all
right again We were very glad to hear
this, indeed, and would be grati6ed, if il
were possible for all who are sick with the
terrible fever to recover. Mr.. Brooks has
been connected with the APPEAL for several
years, and would be much missed, were he
gone"
Father M'Namara's name was omitted
from our list of Catholic priests who died
with the fever The name Asinus was a MIS-
take, no such priest having been here.
Father Luicelli's name appeared as SuicelG,
a mistake that would be readily discovered
by the many who knew and appreciate the
exertions of this interchangeable priest. Two
lay brothers of the Franciscan order, Eras-
mus and Amandus, were also among the
deaths of the Catholic workers.
