A drcuchinr rain commenced falling at p IN, and
continued up TO o'clock. The death roll to-day eX-
reeds that of any day during the scourgc of 1873 but
il is feared that, owing to the weather tonight
this will in turn be exceeded by tO-mouows mortu-
arv report. At Camp Joe Williams several deaths
from fever occurred to-day. The sickness is eX-
pected to spread there more than in the city by
reason Of the rain The facilities for caring for the
sick there are very poor. the only building in the
neighbOIhoOd being an old barn which has been
hastily fitted mp for a hospital.
Among the new CASES to-day is the Mother Supe-
nor al La Salette. The. death roll includes the
names Of Fathers Martin, Walsh and McGarvey.
