yellow Fcyer-sanitary Measures.
New ORLEANS, August 10.
The yellow fever continues to spread,
and is now well distributed throughout
the first and second districts, with occa-
sional cases in other parts Of the city. The
Board of Health continues the use of car
bolic acid as a disinfectant, but will try
lint in a few days arrangements are also
being made for the irrigation Of the city,
by flushing the cutters with river water.
The hopes of the health officers of checking
tile disease by carbclization seems to be
weakening. The city is generally conceded
to be in a flthier condition than for fifteen
years, in fact, since General Butler had it
cleaned. The fever prevailing here is of a
mild type, and the Board Of Health has
decided to continue the quarantine against
vessels from infected ports, on the ground
that more malignant virus might be
introduced. The Bee, complaining of
the withdrawal from publication by
the Board of Health, of the yellow
fever bulletin of new cases, observes in re-
gard to the death register, that these re-
ports relate only to the mortality caused
by the yellow fever at least they are given
as such, although including some very
strange cases Of death, for example the
deaths of children born here, and of Creole
parentage. We must acknowledge that it
is difficult for us to believe these children,
doubly O%rleanist, both by birth and race,
should be victims of yellow fever. Can it
be that we have some other malady preva-
| lent amongst us? Foul new cases of fever
are reported to-day at Port Eads. DR..
Stone, with two experienced nurses, arrived
there last evening, and he says the cases
there are yellow fever, and the worst in his
experience. The Jetty officials report that
there are 25 men there to take care of prop
erty and assist in nursing the sick.
The Sand Lot Orator at Lynn, Mass.
LYNN, Mass, August 10.
A large gathering OF workmen collected
around the Eastern Railroad depot about
| the hour that the Sand Lot orator was ex-
pected to arrive. He came, and the ele-
ments so mercilessly poured forth their
wrath that it was decided not to hold a
meeting till Monday night. A procession
was formed at the Crispin headquarters,
headed by a brass band, and at 8 O'Clock
the line of march was taken up to the Sag
| amore House, where Kearney and the
| Committee on Reception were staying.
| Arriving there a halt was made, and about
5000 people stood out there in the rain,
| and the missionary from California made
a short address from the balcony. There
was the usual abuse of newspapers. fol-
lowed by the advice to pool their issues,
and the great drayman said good night.
A reception was held in one of the parlors
at the close of the meeting, and many of
the w~orkingmen of Lynn were present.
Lynn is almost solid for Butler 1t is a
G~reenbacd center and the champion city of
the State for strikes. The meeting on
Monday night will be one of the largest
which Kearney will address in Massachu-
sets.
