a Hay of Hope at aemphls-PhysicEans
and Nurses Vet WanteG-Sada Case of
Solitary Death.

New YORK, Aug. 31-A Memphis special
says: A grain Of comfort was gathered from
the report Of sixty-eight new cases. Sixty
eight new cases is bad enough, but less ap-
palling than the reports of the day previous.
All physicians do not report to the board of
health. Some are Indifferent to the import
ance of reporting, others are too busy attend
ing sick calls, while one, at least. is known to
be in open defiance Of the board of health. He
has never reported q case and claims that the
disease is not yellow fever.
Physicians from other cities continue to
arrive. Nurses also from Mobile, Shreveport,
Charleston and other points have reported
and are being assigned to duty. Applications
for medical attention and nurses, however
are on file which cannot be filled until more
arrive.
"Found dead in q house, has become q
common report of visiting nurses. A sad
case Of this character is that of Dr. K. P
Waltham. He had worked hard ever since
the fever broke out. The physician was finally
missed, no one knowing what had become Of
him. A visitor went to his temporary quar-
ters his family having been sent out of the
city. The door was locked. It was kicked
open and the visitor found the dead body Of
the doctor, with ali the symptoms of yellow
fever No one could tell how long he had
been dead. DR.. Waltham was one of the
most active physicians In the epidemic OF
1879.

The law oiGod was written not only on

Dr.. Hatfield said the moat Of The whole
trouble was that 90 many people cared
nothing for Sunday, and ' the
churches were weak IN Its Observance.
He felt that the ministers must convince
their congregations Of the sinfnlness Of
any secular occupation and Amusement
on the Sabbath.
After further debate, the Rev. DR.. Nc
Cheney, the Rev. NJ. N. Parkhurst, and
the Rev. DR.. Quincy were appointed q
committee 10 present the following pre-
amble and resolution, which the meeting
adopted, to the other ministers meetings :
WHEREAS, We believe that the disturb.
n q OF quiet OF Sabbath mornings by the
crying Of papers by the newsboys Ii an un.
necessary disturbance; and because II Is q
school Of vice to the boys and girls engaged
therein; and because Il Is an evil example
and disastrous to the youth Of the city; and
because Il Is an unWarranted monopoly
over all other business; and because Il Is
an invasion Of the claims Of good neigh.
borhoods; and because It Is o violation OF
the rights OF all good citizens; therefore,
RESOLVED, That W request the Mayor
Of Chicago to order the crying Of papers on
Sabbath days 10 cease, and to enforce the
order according to the laws and under the
statutes therefor provided.
DR.. Hatfield reminded his brethren Of
the wise Judge who never gave his reasons
for his opinions. The more reasons were
given the more points Of attack there
were for the enemy, and he thought It
would be prudent TO have less preamble,
but the whole thing went through.
The Rev. Mr.. Holmes believed that II
this motion was the thin end Of the
wedge, as some one had said, 1t could be
made thinner and more penetrating BY
agreement Of the preachers not 10 send
their notices for insertion in the Sunday
papers. Mr.. Holmes was appointed q
committee TO prepare such an agreement
for brethren TO sign next week.
Dr.. Williamson said he wanted the
Sunday question debated some more.
He thought lying abed Sunday mornings
and having elaborate dinners Sunday,
afternoons, was as bad rs buying and
reading Sunday papers. He had just
heard OF a South Side Methodist Sunday
School whose hour OF meeting had been
changed to accommodate the great dinners
that most OF the families In the church
got up Sundays. It was voted to discuss
the matter next Monday, and that DR..
| Williamson should lead of.
The meeting then adjourned.

What the Methodist Preachers
of Chicago Have 10 Say ON the
Subject.
ChicaJo Times Of Tuesday.
The Methodist preachers met on yes.
terday morning, at No. 81 Washington
street. In the absence Of DR.. Whiting,
the Rev. W. A. Spencer was called TO the
chair. The question for debate was :
what can We do more than we are doing
10 secure . better observance Of the Sab
bath day r.
By appointment the Rev. N. N. Park.
hurst opened the debate. he selected rs
his point Of attack the yelling Of the
neWsboys on Sunday morning. II dis
turbs the relt Of the Wearied public; Il
ushered In the Sabbath by an act Of dese-
Grafton, and made the frat thoughts In
every mans mind on Sunday secular
thoughts. This yelling was not necessary
to the sale Of the papers. II they must
be sold, they could be sold without 1t.
There Is no use 10 trying To do anything
for the moral elevation Of the newsboys
unless they could be restrained In some
degree from selling papers all Sunday
morning. A prominent official Of one Of
the street railroad companies told him
that horses had to have rest and could
do as much work insix days as they could
in seven. &c believed It would be econ.
omy 10 the companies TO run no carr. on
Sunday, but 4 hundred thousand people
insisted In being carried around every
Sunday, and III one company didn't do IL
another would. But Ia regard to crying
Sunday papers, nobody favored Il or de-
tended u except the newsboys. He had
talked with the managers Of the different
Papets and they all express themselves in
I vor Of abating the nuisance. He was
confident that II the ministers Of this city
ask the mayor TO stop this crying Il would
be done, Just a. the police prevented the
crying Of ti.h'And vegetables and fruit on
Sunday. New York and many other
cities had stopped this Sunday noise.
DR.. MeCheIney said he learned from a
locomotive engineer that even locomo-
tiyss had TO have daily and weekly rests.

THAT EARTHoUAn.
The SLIGHT Vibrations Noticod
Monday Might.

Many Of the daily papers Of the State
announce thst on Monday night distinct
shock Of earthquake was felt in their local
tiles. From the reports il would seem
that the shock extended from the southwest
to the northeast. The st. Louis Republicans
says:
The slight shock OF sn earthquake, noticed
By several persons At about IL o'clock night
! before last, was only perceptible to thoss
occupying quiet positions remote from the
occasional rumble Of wheels or other street
disturbances with which the sensation
would be naturally COMPOUNDED. 1t was,
in fact, not much Of an earthquake in 81.
Louis. Wells did not vOmit forth black
mud, the streams did not leap from their
channels, the steeples did not sway two and
fro like tall weeds in gale Of wind, nor
topple over. knocking people ON the head,
nor did the City Hall. the Four Courts,
Merchants Exchange, hotels and other
prominent edi6ces manifest any disposition
to swerve from their accustomed gravity.
Dwellings did not tumble down on the
heads OF the inmates, nor did thousands Of
frightened citizens appalled, BY the terrific
horror Of the scene and the chaotic confu-
sion flee from the wrathful elements, leap
ing yawning chasms to join their alright
ened neighbour in some place Of safety.
In large establishments full Of the dim of
business At that hour Of the night - ct the
Reps6iioan Office, the phenomenon could
scarcely be felt or even noticed. Tho
tremor and shaking we're felt in several
places in the city. One gentleman states
that he had Just retired to bed, when be
felt . rocking sensation, which he thought
lasted two or three minutes. He almost
forgot his Impressions until he heard next
morning that similar shaking had been
ielt BY others. At the residence of promi-
nent family, the children we're aroused BY
the shock, and little girl leaped from the
bed in terror at the unusual shaking Of the
house. The shock does not appear to have
been severe enough to rattle the dishes and
upset the furniture to the condemnation Of
people, ~ 10 sometime the effect under .
heavy shock. The origin or radisting
point Of the earthquake seems to have
been in the neighborhood Of Memphis and
New Madrid, the latter the seat Of the de-
strucsivs earthquake in lSll-l2, and the
waves extended along the Mississippi val
ley. The effects we're felt in 81. Louis
county, As appears from the follow
ing note:
