The Chicago Railway Review of
q recent date contains an extended
article i'm regard to the Louisville a.
Nashville g. Great Southern Rail-
road, from which we extract the
following:
The one railroad In the South
/ whiCh, i'm the magnitude Of is Ope-
ration, its earnings and its physical
condition, stands high among the
railroads of the United Stntes, Is the
Louisville and Nashville railroad.
1t operates I'm all 1854 miles Of road,
including main stem and branches,
1862 miles, Memphis line, 250. /
miles, Barren Co. railroad, lO.5
miles, Nashville and Decatur, 1928
miles, and South and North Ala
bama with branch), 100 miles. To
this is to be added the Cumberland
and Ohio road, just leased, and 20 be-
at once completed, 81 miles, making
the entire length Of the road ,0O4.l
miles. IL Is well located To COM
mand a large growing traffic, having
its termini in large and thriving
cities, each the center Of large agri-
cultural regions and Of numerous
railway lines.
The annual report for the year
ending June 30, last, published this
week, gives a record Of solid and
progressive prosperity. IL Is re-
freshing to read report In which
there are no explanations of unreal
lied expectations, or expressions of
what might have been. There n
pervading tone Ofcheerfulness which
must be encouraging to the owners
of the property. II Is remarkable
also that this il not new thing
the year has not been one of sudden
and evanescent prosperity. There
has not been a year since the panic
(frOm which all things are now
dated) in which the net earnings
have not shown good degree OF
increase. During the first two
years succeeding the panic, the in
crease i'm net earnings WAS affected
chiefly by reduction in expenses.
But each successive year has shown
a large increase in net earnings.
This shows Il growth In the business
prosperity Of the country as well as
the road itself, and Is n much better
kind of success than that which
comes from the hard times process
of reduction in expense.

THE matter of the cipher dis
patches is in a nutshell. Republican
rascals had the Presidency for sale.
The price they asked was a feasible
one. The offer was made To Til
den's friends. Money was at COM
mand if they had been disposed To
trade. The profier WIS rejected.
The infamous brokers then sought
Hayes friends. With them they
were successful. Hayes was seated.
Every mothers son engaged in the
wickedness was rewarded with a
fat office. Tilden's virtue, IL he
knew anything Of what was going
on, stood the test. Hayes didn't.
That Is all there Is of It,"

Germantown, Tenn.

From an Appeal Correspondent
GERMANTOWN, Tenn, September 49,
Our town is III unusual distress-eight deaths
within ten days past, and there are now
twelve to fifteen cases of sickness of the same
kind. | do not pretend to give name to
the disease which has proved so fatal, but l
think fear and excitement, and the conse-
quent lack OF sufficient nursing have had
much to do with the deaths, inasmuch as
the general health of the town and vicinity is
far better than at this season of last year,
when chills and malarial fever were almost
epidemic, scarcely a family in which there
was not sickness, and in some families every
member was sick, but there were no deaths
in town and few in the country, because
there was no excitement and no declared ep-
idemic in Memphis, as now. On the fifth
instant Professor R. B. Simmons, of the pub
lie school, died of congestive chill or yellow
fever-rer orts conflict On the twelfth Will
lie A. Hunt, an excellent young man, barely
grown, son of Mr.. B. F. Hunt, and for
merly my pupil, died of congestion of the
stomach, as reported, and as ia reasonable to
be believed, since he had been several years
under medical treatment for dyspepsia On
the thirteenth darling little Matte Lou Sim
mons, a two year old daughter of the late
Professor Simmons, died of something fatal,
On the fourteenth Miss Mary O'Neil, Mr.
James Harvey Rodgers, and Mr.. John Wal
ston, Memphis refugee, died of something
fatal On the fifteenth Mr.. Moore, Mem
phis refugee, and brother of Mr.. W. II.
Moore, secretary of Bluff City insurance
company, died of yellow.fever, as reported.

WASHINGTON, September 1.-Two Wash
ingtOn physicians and nurse, vino went to
Memphis some days since, have returned
here, as they were rejected by the Towards
because of their never having had the yell
low-fever. They report that their party,
which consisted Of twenty persons, was very
cordially received. They further report that
parties are taking advantage of the situation
to make money, and that there Is much
doubtful expenditures OF money. Sharpers
and irresponsible persons are obtaining some
of the money sent TO the afflicted, and are
resorting b all kinds OF schemes to obtain
control Of the funds.
The above is from the Washington cores
pendent of the St. Louis Republican. There
is but one truth in it, and that is in regard to
the cordial reception the Washington, as all
parties from abroad, have met with here.
Every other statement in it is a bald lie,
without any foundation in fact. The Wash
ington phyricians and nurses who returned
did so of their own volition and will. They
were not rejected by the Towards because
they had not had the yellow-fever. There
can be no doubtful expenditure of money by
our societies or organizations, for all moneys
expended are accounted for by vouchers,
carefully filed, and al moneys received are
promptly acknowledged. The only persons
here able to make any money are the profess
sional nurses, and they are found in most in
stances worthy of their hire. When money
is sent from abroad TO any of our public Of
6cials, or the heads of any of our charitable
or beneficiary organizations, it is impossible
for it to get into the hands of sharpers. So
far we have not heard of money falling into
the wrong hands, nor have we heard of any
complaints by the managers of the Howard
Association, or of the Citizens Relief Com

THE Very Reverend NJ. Riordan. Vicar
General of this diocese, and pastor of st. Pa
tricks Church, died yesterday morning after
two weeks illness from yellow fever. Like
those of his brethren of the priesthood who
preceded him he fell at his post. He con-
tracted the disease while in the discharge of
the duties of his sacred Office and fell as the
brave soldier of the cross loves to fall. Fa-
Their Riordan held the highest office after that
of Bishop in this diocese and was regarded
by the community generally as well as by
the members of his own communion as q
perfect type of his order. Since his residence
here he has accomplished great deal of work
which to-day attests his zeal and industry.
The Church was bis only care. To advance
its cause was the aim and end of his life.
Spent in the Masters service be leaves his
parish in mourning and his brethren in tears.

From the Ledger.l
FERNANDO, MISS, September 1--we
have the fever in this town. The people are
moving ont in all directions. The greatest
excitement prevails at present. The deaths
so far are Mrs. Martha Vorndran, beloved
wife of Peter Vorndran, foreman for H.
Harder; Mrs. West, wife of Judge West, of
this place, and Chas. Campbell, one of your
policemen. There are ten more cases, three
or four that are very low, and one not ex-
pected to recover, Those doing well at pres
ent are Frank Mellersh, VIM. and Ed
Harder. The citizens met this afternoon
and formed citizens relief committee, with
the following officers: DR.. E. Burlington,
president; E. ]. Vorndran, vice-president;
D. M'Kenzie, treasurer. These men have
put their shoulders to the wheel, while 9TH

]. Vorndran has twenty-four from Memphis
in his house, and invited as many more; in
fact, he gave his house up to them, and fur
nished a cook and provisions for all, and
went to his mother-in-law's to make room.

1t matters mot about the name of the dis
ease. since the fatality, unprecedented in
this usually healthful place, has become
alarming to all who are not sustained by
strong powers and unwavering faith. On
the thirteenth ''the storm" of excitement
began to blow, and on the fifteenth it burst
in all the force of general stampede of ref
ugees and many citizens. Our railroad and
express agent, who was also our telegraph
operator, left us in haste. Our interchangeable
postmaster and druggist, and principal mer-
chant, Mr.. VIM. E. Miller, ST., remains faith
full to his many duties, and keeps his young son
Willie at work with him; nothing but death
or severe sickness will drive him from his
post. He keeps his entire family at home,
believing that they are as safe here as they
would be elsewhere, since the fatality is
spreading through the country. l board in
his house, and feel that am as safe as his
family. Besides, the God on whom my faith
is fixed rules in Germantown just the same
as in any other place, and in no place can l
hide from him-nowhere escape the life or
death that he has appointed for me.

Jacob Roberts, Mr.. A. J. Wright, Mr.. A. R.
Hurt, the Messrs. Weir. Mr.. J. g. Meaeha.zs
and family, and Mr.. Joseph Clark and family
are prominent. There are also several col
ored men, whose timely help in burying the
dead is worthy of remembrance. All who
are brave and faithful during an epidemic
and panic deserve special mention, for the
temptation to fly or hide from danger and
duty is surely great, and still greater and
more demoralizing is the example of the
many whose animal instinct of self-preserva-
ton is more than heathenish-quite brutishi
An epidemic, like war, develops the latent
gtrength or weakness, good or evil, of human
nature, while it proves, by many sad evil
dences, that coward can not be christian
or a soldier, and it revives, with humiliating
force, the much-abused text: ga living dog
is better than a dead hon." Germantown
has at no time taken part in the wicked farce
of quarantine; all refugees and citizens have
been, and are yet, free to come and go at
will. ALI things considered, our town has
done remarkably well, and will continue to
do the best she can; no town has done, or
will do, better. l hope the worst is over

Dr.. JOHN ERKINE, Health Officer, after
weeks illness, died at an early hour yester-
day. When taken with the fever he had
been so completely worked down that there
was little of strength for him to fall back
upon or with which to rally from the attack
of the seourge. He had literally given his
life in the service Of the people who had
trusted him as Health Officer, and thereby
increased his burdens more than a hundred
fold. No nobler man or more gallant ever
lived, or one more worthy of this people.
Proud of his profession and devoted to it,
he responded to every call, giving his ad-
vice and services freely, never grudging a
moment when good was to be done. During
the epidemic he proved this thousand
times, and so built for himself an enduring
place in many hearts. His death is great
loss to the city and to the faculty of which
ne was one of the chief ornaments.

JESSE W. PAGE died very suddenly last
night, about half-past seven o'clock, after
only few hours sickness. Some days ago
he was attacked with the fever, but against
the expostulation of friends he left his bed
and ever since has been doing what he could
as a member of the Towards to nurse the
sick. Mr.. Page was for many years one Of
the leading bankers of the city; was man
of great energy Of character. and Of very
superior business qualifications. Highly es-
teemed by a WIDE CIRCLE of friends, he was
the center Of a large family circle, every one
of which looked up to him with confidence
as An advisor aud guide. He did his duty
nobly and unselfshly SINCE the plague began
and was in every respect a worthy member
of the Howard association.
