AT CINCINNATI.
The Enquirer Of July 31st hns the 10
tails of Il case OF yellow foyer in that
city, the victim being VIM. Hines, u
wealthy cotton broker Of New Orleans.
Mr.. Hines arrived ON Saturday, accom-
panied 10y his wife, having left New Or
leans to escape the disease. He
was complaining Of indispoSition ON
arrival, and took rooms nj lead
ing hotclhcre During the day his Wife
became convinced that his disease
was yellow fever, and so told his
attending physician, DIR. Reamy, Of
thus city. lie was not, however, con
WINGED until OH Monday, when Ne
called in DIR. Minor, the health officer,
and then decided that il was genuine
case Of yellow fever and that the patient
to insure safety to tho many people
living ut the hotel must he removed
to the hospital. Dir. Minor noti-
fled the authorities but they became
! tNnt ttn-S tt4I,t Il m t.nTtt 10
receive the patient. The dec
tor, however, insisted, and ON
their further refusal told them that If
they declined he would order ont his
sanitary pohcc and take possession Of
the hospital This brought the panic
stricken officials to their senses, and
they finally consented to receive the
patient. They then returned to the
hotel and informed Mrs. Hines Of their
intention, when Il touching scene en-
sued. IT seems that III New Orleans,
where yellow fever is better known than
here il is considered extremely dan
geious, if not surely fatal, 10 remove
q patient who is suffering from
it, This the wife knew, and
She had been MS the result suffering,
ever since her husbands illness, from
the fear that his removal would be de-
mandcd When their intention was an
nounccd she became very much agitat-
ed and burst into tears, and begged
them not 10 remove him, siying that
il would surely cost him hs life, and
detailing the experience and belief Of
those conversant with the epidemic in
regard TO removal DIR. Minor was,
however, inexorable, and decided
that the safety OF the many
must be regarded, and as result
preparations for the removal were
begun at midnight. When hey were
ready, however, the panic had spread
to the servants in the hotel, and they
refused to touch the sick nan. One
colored man was at last bund who
consented to act, and the physicians
with his help carried the patent down
to the ambulance and lie wa taken to
the hospital, where he lies IN very
critical condition. His wife isunceasing
in her attention tohim, and her heroism
and labor in his behalf are tcuching in
the extreme. The city authorizes are pre-
pairing TO establish quarantine regula-
tons, OBTAINING all travel fromthe south
before i reaches here, and dsinfecting
all boats now lying at tn landing.
Physicians say that, while thee is some
danger Of the spread Of tie disease
from this case, the most cmes from
those that, like this one, may come IL
from the south with it.
