MEMPHIS, Sept. 16.-The fever
has seemingly taken a fresh start.
It was thought that the extremely
cold weather of the past week
would, in a measure, prevent its
spreading, but, alas for human
hopes! There is no Disgusting the
fact that it is spreading, both in
and outside of the city. Scarcely
day passes but some new victim,
who had fed short distance in the
country to escape the ravages of
the scourge, is stricken, and owing
to the poor accommodations afforded
away from the city, all such gen
orally die. If the weather contin>
ues to grow warmer, the greatest
danger is to be feared that toe dis
ease will spread to all those towns
adjacent to Memphis that we're
scourged last year. The quaran-
tine regulations are being rigidly
enforced by the State Board Of
Health officials, but it is next to an
impossibility to hem in city of the
size of Memphis, and vigilant as the
officers may be, they can not i'm
prison the $1,000 people who yet
remain in this city, many of whom,
forced by their necessities, are daily
finding their way to the country in
search of labor. These are the
ones who carry the infection with
them. as in every instance where
the fever has developed beyond the
city the infection could be traced
directly to Memphis. Of the %
cases reported to-day, II were col>
ored. REe
