YELLOW FEVER.
FIVE NEW CASES DISCOVERED
The New Secretary of War-The Dor.
sey-Davis Will Case = Judge
Lynch-Chicago's Fast
Horses.

Memphis, Tenn, July 1.-two new
cases were reported to the board OF
health this morning, Fred Eckers, a
barber, and J. NJ. Williamson. Both
of these parties have been sick for two
days, and yellow fever symptoms were
fully developed to-day. All trains go
ing out late last night were crowded,
and many more were leaving to-day.
While majority of the physicians do
not apprehend thatathe fever will rage
in an epidemic form. they all advise
those who can, to leave the city. The
weather is warm and sultry to-day,
after thunder storm of last night.
Memphis, July 1S.-Three new cases
of yellow fever were reported to the
board of health this afternoon. All
reside in the immediate neighborhood
of the Hester families. These, togeth-
er with the other two cases, make six
teen as the total number of cases
reported since the 9th inst. Business
is almost entirely suspended, especially
among wholesale merchants. Large
crowds of citizens are leaving on every
train that departs from the city.
The Manhattan and Emmett banks
closed their doors to-day, leaving their
collections and deposits to the care of
other banks.

Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, July 1e.-The cabinet
meeting to-day was very brief, and with
the exception of few routine matters,
the only subject under consideration
was the request of the national board
of health that medical officer of the
navy be detailed to foreign countries
where the fever is known to exist, for
the purpose of examining all vessels
bound for the United States, and to
such as are not inflicted issuing clear
bills of health. The question arose as
to whether, under the act empowering
the board, such detail were mandatory,
but 1t was not finally determined. The
sentiment Of the members present ap-
peared to be that it would be very un-
Just to detail officers to such places at
the risk Of their lives. 1t is known
that there would be considerable hesi-
tation about ordering either army or
naval surgeons to such duty, unless, as

down the Mississippi river last summer,

SURVEYING THE WEST.
The Rockey Mountains to be Examined by
Experts.

The Rockey Mountains to be Examined by
Experts.
Washington, July 1s.-The main
work of surveying, under Clarence
King, will be directed this summer to
the following subjects The metallic
wealth of Colorado, centering at Lead
vile; lead and silvers of Nevada, GEN.
tering at Eureka /; the great Comstock
lode and the central gold fields of Cali
fornia. On each Of these a survey will
be begun. The Leadville division will
be under the charge of S. F. Emmons,
geologist, and A. D. Wilson, topo-
grapher. In charge of the Eureka
division will be Professor Becker,
geologist, and F. Clark, topographer.
Mr.. King will supervise the work at
the great Comstock and in California.
The central gold field of California is
well nigh the Virginfeld mines. The
only important book on California
gold is Whitney's. The work of survey
here, therefore, will be doubly i'm
portant.
The work of Typographical engineer
ing will be confined to subterraneous
and surface surveys of the mining dis
tricts, and the results reached by them
will be made tributary to economical
Investigations Of geologists. The only
typographical work done, except this,
will ha fo Bp;cJ, Rox,a1I,a ,.,o,l- -, a.
Colorado canon, under the directions of
Sumner Bodish. The corps of geolo-
gists, under King is as follows, S. F..
Emmons, Arnold Hague, now I'm
perial Expert to China, who has resign
ed to join Kings expedition /; G.. K.
Gilbert, late of the Rowell survey, and
F. N. Hayden, geologist in charge of
mining. In geology are Prof, Raphael
Pumselly, late of Harvard University ;
o. Becker, late professor of mining
geology in the University of California,
and Arthur Foote, mining engineer,
until lately practicing at Leadville.
Among the important probable out
comes of the immediate future will be
the presentation to the country of the
product gold and silver. Not only
will the geology Of the mines be studied
but the metallurgic appliances now in
use will be examined. The silver lead
furnaces at Eureka, Nevada, are said
to be the best in the world, and COM
plete description of these, such as it is
intended the surveyors pulication will
contain, will render possible the use of
this perfect and wealth saving appa-
| ratus everywhere.

New York, July 1s.-It is claimed
that De Lesseps and Wyse do not pro-
pose to undermine the moral doctrine.
De Lesseps is moved by engineering
and financial ideas, and not by the
schemes Of Statecraft, with his experi-
ence of his great engineering success
and still greater financial success
achieved by his ocean level canal at
suez. De Lesseps must have been in
stinctiyely prejudiced against the Amer
can projects explained at Paris, except
the Nicaragua route, for they required
locks. It is equally clear that the mod
med Wyse plan Of the ship canal, being
very short, and at tide level, it must
nave to appeal strongly to veteran en-
gineers prejudices. What is true of
De Lesseps, is true of large body Of
engineers, capitalists, contractors and

Correspondence OF The Leader.
CHICAGO, Ills, July IA, 1879.
Hotl Ask that fat man tugging

When people meet nowadays their
first remark invariably is, shot, isn't
it?" and an answer in the affirmative

There Is great complaint just now
about the waste of water, and cry
that the limit Of available supply is al
ready reached. But who can help using
water and wasting water and drench-
ing the whole city with water when
the hydrant is so near at hand and the
need is so great.
There is talk of cutting off the use
of hose as the water supply problem is
becoming one of such immediate in
terest.
The total capacity of the Chicago
pumping works is los, 900, 900 gallons
but even this does not seem to satisfy
the demand. The sanitary condition
of our city is such as to require imme.
diate attention. The services of twenty
active and intelligent physicians haye
been secured to canvass the city for
noxious odors and repugnant sights,
and they are to report their observa-
tions to Health Commissioner De Wolf
who will in turn see that some imme-
diate scavenger work is done.
The tenement houses in some thickly
settled districts are in sad state of
uncleanliness, and the condition of the
streets and cutters in many places need
the immediate attention of the board OF
public works.
The people are taking up this griev-
ance in a very determined way and If
matters are not attended to promptly

THE SIDNEY STYLE.
A Man Killed Without Provocation-
The Murderer Flees-Reward
Offered.

Sidney, Neb., July 1s.-About 1:
O'Clock last night John Hodgson, ALA:
English Jack, a hard character, fatally
shot in cowardly manner John Brown,
an employe of Charles Coffey, whose
cattle outfit is in camp near town
Brown was employed asN cook, and he
came into town, got drunk, and came
in contact with English Jack who,
without cause, threatened Brown, and
said that if he put his hands in his
pocket he would kill him. Brown, who
was unarmed, replied in a maudlin way,
''you must be mistaken, I have not
done anything" all the willie looking
into the muzzle of a six shooter, and
inadvertently put his hands into his
pants pocket, when Jack fired, the ball
entering below Browns left eye and
passing through the brain, killing him
instantly. The affair occurred in front
of A Low DOWN SALOON, the patrons
Of which disclaimed any knowledge Of
the affair to the deputy sheriff, who
having seen the flash of the pistol was
instantly on the ground Meantime
Jack went to the livery stable where he
has been employed, and took out gray
horse and escaped in the darkness.
This is his second offense of similar
character, having killed a man on the
road to Red Cloud while employed as
wagon master for Mccarthy. There is
said to be an indictment against him
in Colorado for murder. The indig-
nant citizens have offered 5000 reward
for his capture.

others, who pin their faith as a man
who has already succeeded. Heand they
may be wrong, and American engineers
and capitalists may yet construct the
Nicaraugua route, and practically de-
monstrate it to be better than De Les
seps. But the point just now to be OBJ
served is that the French expert and
his followers were moved in the Paris
congress by their natural prejudices and
actual experience, to do as they did,
rather than by political Vaccinations or
stealthy enmity to moral doctrine.
