The yellow Fever.
NEW YORK, July l9.-Specials
report that a large number of Sis
ters of Charity arrived at Nashville
from Memphis yesterday. Refu-
gees from that city say the worst
has not been told. and successive
stampedes from Memphis must re-
suit within the next few days. The
gloomy news from Memphis has
occasioned great uneasiness at
Union City, Tennessee. The Board
of Health has ordered the estab-
lishment of most stringent quar-
antine toward all railroads. Under
the excitement citizens have pack
ed up their trunks and are in readi-
ness for flight at any moment.
NEW CASES IN MEMPHIS.
MEMPHIS, July 19.-Three new
cases were reported to the Board of
Health this morning, viz: Louisa
II. and Viola Godsey and Tom ker-
nan, Passenger Agent Of the Men,
phis and Charleston Railroad. The
illness of the Godsey sisters can be
traced to the infection of the Tobin
family, who recently died of yellow
fever. The young ladies were in
attendance on Mrs. Tobin until her
case was pronounced yellow fever.
These cases dispel the sporadic
theory. Hiram Athey, son of Chief
of Police Athey, is dying, although
his case h IS not as yet been report
ed 10 the Board of Health as yell
low fever. The Chiefs residence
is in the neighborhood OF
the Tobln dwelling, as is also Tom
Kernan's. The reported death of
Frederick Eckers, WAS premature.
He Is living, but lies in an ex-
tremely critical condition. The
weather is warm and sultry, with
occasional showers. The develop
ment of new cases has given fresh
impetus to the exodus of citizens.
Louis Brumend, aged 81, residence
HernandO road, near Looney's
switch, has just been reported to
the Board of Health as another
case.
This afternoon Mrs. Robert Hes
Ter and Chiefof Police Athey's son
are both in a critical condition.
MEMPHIS, July l9.-Mrs. Robert
Hester died tonight at 8 O'Clock.
The remainder of the family are
progressing favorably. Nearly all
the small towns adjacent have en-
Joined a quarantine against this
city.

CHICAGO, July 20.-A Qlebec
special says that last night II party
of fifteen set out from Point aux
TrebIes for a sail an the St. Law
renee in pleasure yacht. They
.sd reached the middle OF the
river, which was running with n
full tide, and the Master of the
yacht stood about to tack, when to
the horror of every one, sudden
squall came down upon them; the
yacht shivered, staggered for an
Instant, and, amid the cries of
those on board and the accompa-
nying shrieks of those on shore,
turned completely over, precipitat-
ing its living freight into the wa
ter. A steamer aud several small
boats made haste to the fatal spot,
but in spite Of every effort of the
would be rescuers, of fifteen who had
formed the yachts company, only
