the plague yesterday. In addition to this
calamity, DR.. Veazie, Of New Orleans, has
been Frustrated by nervous excitement and
exhaustion. This Is enough to drive away all
hope from the remaining ones, and 1t would
do so Il 1t were not for Col. Anderson Of the
Howard Association of Memphis, who is con-

The death list yesterday comprises whites

the negroes at the Chamberlain House, only
one well man remaining, and that is Bill Red

ian steward. who has heretofore considered
himself plague proof, and James, the colored

Not q single victim has so far recovered.

the mental. Imagine a sick son and brother

his fate and flee for their lives; imagine q
wife urging the same thing to her husband ;
