Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1878-08-30

One hundred and forty new victims to the
dread pestilence were reported at the office oil
the board of health yesterday, while the re-
ports of the undertakers show seventy-two
burials What a startling record! and yet
the season of the epidemic Is not quite hall
spent. The atmosphere is thick with poison,
and it seems that every soul remaining IN
the city Is doomed to become a victim. After
spreading desolation and death In the north
ern portion of the city, the disease Is reach
ing out for new victims, and has already be-
gun its deadly word in quarters never before
invaded by epidemcs.
THE COUNTY JAIL,
always under the most rigid sanitary regua-
lions, and which in the epidemic of 1873 had
not single case, yesterday reported seven
cases of well-defned yellow-fever. The au-
| thorities were not slow to act, but Immedl-
ately emptied the Jail of the seventy or eighty
prisoners, and sent them under a strong
guard to the Forrest prison farm, on Presi
dents Island, where it is hoped a spread of
the disease among them will be prevented.
THE STREETS ARE MORE DESERTED THAN
EVER.
Even the vast throng of people that on for
mer days gathered in front of the commissary
| depots was missing yesterday, none only ap-
pearing in that locality except those who were
|
ticularly was it noticeable yesterday that
| there was no watermelon eating on the curb
stones or in the alleys, since the board
| Of health ordered the sale of them to be
| stopped.
THE ANONYMOUS THREATS.
The communication addressed anonymous
! ly to the APPEAL and printed yesterday
| morning created considerable excitement.
| We investigated the charge intimated-that
no HIctr m
and found that there is no foundation for any
such charges, and no impression should exist
In the mind of that class for whom the boun-
| ty and charity of the government at large
were intended. The government furnished
the citizens relief committee with two thou
sand rations for twenty days. They have
also on hand a considerable sum, say ten
thousand dollars. They propose to feed the
destitute sick in the city. To this class alone
they are daily issuing fully two thousand ra-
tons, all furnished by the United States
Besides they are feeding daily the inmates OF
Camp!Joe Williams, Father Mathew Aid camp
and other camps of refugees. These various
drafts upon their commissary tax all their re-
sources, and they could not, If they would,
feed all the destitute who are In health In the
city. They are sending hundreds of persons
away from the city and paying their trans
portatiOn.
THEY ARE PAYING THE EXTRA POLICE FORCE
of the city, and they are now engaged in
making arrangements to furnish medical at
tention to the destitute sick not cared for by
the Towards The disease is now beginning
to feed on the negroes, and, so long as they
persist IN remaining In the city, 1t is evident
that the destitute sick will continue to in
crease, and the demands upon the relief COM
mittee be proportionately increased. Matters
are going on well at Camp Joe Williams.
Drs Nall and Rogers have been most efficient
l. I'll 60 e
appearing. These cases were all from the ar
rivals of last Friday and Saturday. All those
who went down on the preceding days are
perfectly healthy, showing conclusively that
those only have been affected whose systems
were thoroughly poisoned, and, also, that the
camp is a haven Of refuge. DIR. Summers,
of Nashville, has been placed in charge of
the camp-hospital, and, in conjunction with
DR.. Nall, will give the patients there every
attention.
