CONTINUED RAyAGEs OF TIE DISEASE.
A. careful estimate from what few
cases arc seen indicates IN increase
over the last report. Two hundred
and fifty new cases would bo u mod.
crate estimate for to~day. There is
q slight decrease in tho death rate.
Tho sexton reports oi ghtcen inter
mcnts for tho past twenty four
hours. Among those dead arc those
that could least be spared, who went
down martyrs through thei: efforts
to savo others. Father NcNIanus,
the beloved priest Of st. Paul's
church. died this morning. .Ho will
be deeply regetted and his memory
reverol by all croaas and classes in
this sorrow stricken community.
Joseph T.. Dali, chief of the fire
department and mayor elect, whose
installation was to have taken place
tomorrow. is among tho deld Of
to day. Charles Nathan and ]. W.
jolly, young men Of rare promise,
are among the victims whose deaths
help to increase the gloom that en-
shrouds tho city to night.
At Greenyillc, Mississippi, town
of ten thousand inhabitants, two~
thirds are out OF employment and in
q destitute condition.

MEMPHIS, September g. While
tho deaths have not been SO
numerous to-tay as yesterday.
the distress has been greater. Du
ring the past few days many fanli-
lies have been carried off and q
large portion Of the cool-headed
and efficient workers are now pros
tratcd. The force employed to
bury the dead has bcen inadequate,
and to-day, at meeting Of the
Citizens Relief Committed, an ad-
d'tional force Of fo:ty m,n WAS
org lnlzel for that pa,p ,so.
ALMOST NEGRO KIor.
There VAS great excitamort at
noon to day on account OF negro
guard shooting and badly wounding
IL disordorly negro who had been
arrested and attempted to escape
Tho negroes about the commissary
department became very boisterous
and threatening, but the negro
military and police force behaved
we'll and soon restored order.
There is q great deal of hostility to
them on the part Of tho worse Dor>
ton of the black population, who
will not work and express q dotcr~
mination to 1.-Two we'll as long rs
there arc any provisions in the city.
There were fifty ~throe deaths yes
tcrday, ninetcon of blacks.
Slight 1nprovem in New Orleans
New ORLEANS, Sept. 2.-Tho Off.
cial statement of cases of yellow
fever for the past twenty -four hours
is :-Doaths, eighty eight (same us
yesterday; new cases. two hundred
and nine against two hundred and
sixty yesterday, IL decrease Of fifty
one. The largo number of new
cases reported on Sunday may be
accounted for by the changes in the
weather. Heavy rains and the sud
den transition of temperature could
only produce the worse effects upon
all vino were not acclimatel. The
fcvor must run it's course. 1t seems
to bo almost inevitable that all who
havo not had the disease must havo
it, it being only question of time.
There arc, however, households
where not q single case has ap-
pearod rs yet, owing, perhaps, to n
careful avoidance of all exposure.
Whether tho fever is contagious or
not is disputed, but thoro can DO
no doubt very fow escape having
tho disease in household where It
once appears, and this, too, some
times with terrific results. In one
instance, out of a family consisting
OF father, mother and throo chill
dren, only one was left. OF anoth~
or family, consisting Of father,
mother and two children, not q
member survives. Full bloodod
