ported since Sunday evening. Judge
Fairfield is very low; his disease baf-
hes the skill of the most experienced physi-
clans. Patients are often left by their doc
tors in fair way to recovery, and in less
than six hours afterward some change un-
accountable occurs to produce sudden
death.
All that known skill can suggest, all that
friendship and affection accomplish is being
done and yet the patient dies. Grave yard
scenes are fearful On all sides are newly
made mounds and empty graves, the latter
being already ordered. Whites and blacks,
rich and poor, hOnored and unknown, all
are buried with the same haste
AT NEW ORLEANS.
New ORLEANS, Sept. 3.-The situation
here is very gloomy, as we are afflicted with
destitution as well as disease. Among the
victims Yesterday was Very Rev. Joseph
Marie Millet, Vicar General Mr. J. McH.
Walpole, II. D. Thompson, the former city
editor, and the latter reporter of the Plea
yune are down. Thompson is dying. The
tolling of bells was discontinued yesterday
The deaths Sunday included 10 chill
dren, and yesterday 19.
There is not the slightest indication of a
panic visible. The large number of new
cases reported on Sunday may be accounted
for by the change in the weather 1t seems
to be almost inevitable that all who have
not had the fever must have it, it being
only question of time.
There are, however, households where not
single case has appeared as yet, owing,
perhaps, to careful avoidance OF all eX-
posure. Whether the fever is contagious
or not is disputed, but there can be no
doubt very few escape having the disease in
obo1 yvl II and this
too, with terrific results.
| In one instance all of q family consisting
of father, mother and three children, only
one was left. Of another family, consisting
of father, mother and two children, not a
member survived Full blooded persons of
nervous temperament seem to suffer most.

hourly, and four, persons were

seventy eight deaths among their own pa
tients since Saturday night 1t is feared
that there will soon not be enough people
left here to bury the dead. 1t is very diff

noon to-day. These reports are by no mean
complete.
