YELLOW FEVER.
ITS RAvAsEs STILL CONTINUE.
The People Of the Infected Regions
Praying for Frost.

MEMPHIS, October l2.-The weather tool
on itself q sudden change to cold las
night, the temperature falling almost q
the condition Of frost-so nearly 50 thA
many anxious people tortured their OBJ
servation in visions Of abundance of th'
hoary visitor. The conditions are sui
good, and there is = strong probability
that frust will appear tonight This may
appear TO the casual observer matter o
little significance, but to those living il
the yellow fever belt it rises to an import
ance paramount to life itself
The cold weather has had bad effect
upon the sick, and ! hear already Of the
sudden death Of many who, up TO late
Yesterday evening, we're considered out o.
danger. Among these Is Mr.. 7. P. Hol'
land, Of the ENeRiAg LeI9T, who, beside.
being 4 prominent local Journalist, was
also an influential member OF the Knights
OF Honor.
Among the new cases reported since
last nights dispatches were written sp-
pears the name Of Major J. II. Smith, Sec
retary Of the Howard Association, who
has given his entire time and abilities 10
the management Of the financial Affairs Of
that institution, besides doing here and
there all in his power toward the alleVia-
ton OF suffering. His condition this eve
ming Is quite favorable, though the crisis
has NO; been reached.
Notwithstanding the daily published
warnings from the Board OF Health, and
the death Of many refugees who unwisely
and imprudenuy returned to the city,
there are daily hundreds coming back,
adding fuel TO the fire, which otherwise
would die out absolutely for want Of ma
terial: and the present cold snap, it is
feared, will encourage many more to re-
turn, anxious 10 get the first chance at the
prospect OF reviving business They may
4 home in the ground.
The two Howard relief railway trains,
one on the Memphis and Louisville, the
other on the Memphis and Charleston
Roads, are finding plenty TO do in provid.
ing medical attendants and supplies At
points where but one or two cases offever
are found. Three trains are making daily
tips, and are doing great good.
Among the cOnvGIeScents beginning 10
enjoy life again is Mr.. N. II. Tlden, cor
respondent of the Chicago Tn6tnIe, who
had 4 severe attack, but Is now declared
out OF danger by his attending physician,
Dr. Mcfarland, Of Savannah. Mr. Tilden
has relatives in Cincinnati.
The streets about the numerous relief
depots were more than usually crowded to-
day. and dare say that double the num-
Der Of r1t;ous were issued than on any
previous day since the system was inangu-
rated.
The undertakers to-day report twenty
six interments, OF which the following are
the names OF the whites: A. Farrell, A
Enrich, John Walsh, John Canepo's child,
Lizzie Levoil, Ben Driefus, Mrs. Annie
Adams, Thomas kinman, VIM. Schultz, J.
Virgins, Mrs, E pebola, T. P. Holland,
F. Tison, G. 4. Nuttlng, J. ?. Bandy, P.
MAure1, A. Bowen, Maggie Mallowney.
OF the above, five we're from outside the
city limits. Total whites, g.
Seventy-six new cases were reported by
twenty physicians, thirty-six outside the
,sitI. Limits
