Gail for More AID.
MEMPHIS, Aug. 31.-The wealth
er to-day has been damp and disa.
greeable and favorable to the
spread of the fever. AT the Board
of Health office only seventy-two
new cases have been reported for
the twenty-four hours ending at 6
p. NJ. Major John G. McCabe, of
the Commissary Department,
reports to the Citizens Re-
lief Committee that $4,000 rations
have been issued to destitute
people from August 10th to Both
inclusive. The demand is con-
stantly increasing and 1880 rations
are being issued to-day. The sup
ply on hand is sufficient to last no
longer than the fifth prox. In
view of this the following appeal
ia made:
"The unprecedented spread and
fatality of the yellow fever, caus.
Ing an entire suspension of busi-
ness, has left several thousand peo.
pie in the city who are destitute of
the means of subsistence and una
BILE to find work, and large
portion of those now are sick
and the number is considerably
increasing. Much ais the Commit
tee dislikes to ask aid again from
the charitable abroad who have so
generously responded to former
calls, necessity and humanity COM
pei them to request further and
prompt assistance.
