The Yellow Fever In the
Southwest.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July l9.-No new
cases of yellow fever were reported yes
terday, and the general impression wal
that it would not spread, but be cOnfinet
to families in which it was located. The
condition OF Judge Ray and his son
continued very critical. The trains out
last night were crowded with passen
gers. A number Of other cities and
towns IN Tennessee, Louisiana, Mis-
sisslppi and Arkansas have quarantineC
against Memphis, but the tOwns on the
Louisville road declare that they will
not do so unless an epidemic occurs.
The Governor Of Texas has proclaimed
the State quarantined against Memphis.
All points on the Mississippi are being
quarantined.
To-day has been notable for its qui'
etude. Services were held in but few
churches and the congregations were
very small. The State board Of health
to-day suspended quarantine against
all freights. The passenger baggage
quarantine is still being enforced. AT
: O'Clock tonight an order was given
to the keeper of Elmwood Cemetery to
have Judge Rays grave dug. lie was
surely diving at that hour. Mrs, TObin,
who resides on Bradford street, and
whose case, with that Of her husband.
was at first thrown out by the board OF
health as not being yellow fever cases,
was dying this afternoon at 6 O'Clock.
No new cases have been reported since
last Thursday.
Judge Ray died tonight at 9 o'clock.
and was buried almost Immediately
afterwards in Elmwood Cemetery, under
the auspices of the Masonic fraternity,
of which he was a member. His son
lies in a critical condition.
New ORLEANS, July l3.-The aux
iliary sanitary association declare that
after a thorough examination this city
is in q perfectly healthy condition that
not a case of yellow fever has appeared,
and that the absence Of fevers which
usually precede yellow fever inspires
the belief that the city will escape
serious sickness. An inspector has been
sent to Water Valley to investigate the
reported death there from yellow fever.
MEMPHIS, July 14.-No new cases
of yellow fever have been reported.
Mrs. Tobin, residing on Bradford
street, died this morning at six o'clock
and was buried at eight. This leaves
but one person in the entire city
Judge Rays son-who is sick with
the fever, and he is reported as dying.
Local stations along the Memphis and
Little Rock railroad have notified the
Memphis authorities that if no new
cases develop by tomorrow the
quarantine would be raised between
Memphis and Lonoke, Ark, which is
26 miles this side of Little Rock. The
weather is still very warm.
The following was telcgraphod to-
day by the board of health TO every
station along the lines of the four rail-
roads leading from this city; "No new
cases since the morning of the 10th
inst. The fever is confined to the six
sporadic cases. Memphians arc re-
turning. Persons from adjacent towns
are coming in. Twice the usual num-
Der of passengers by the Brownsville
accommodation train this morning"
This afternoon the son of Judge Ray
rallied, and to night hopes are enters
tanned of his recovery.

Cost OF GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS
IN SOME OF THE LARGE CITIEs.-The
following details OF the cos. of public
buildings is interesting: The Chicago
building, which was commenced in 1873,
has already cost 100000, and the
last Congress made an appropriation OF
S525, 900 to complete the building this
year. The Cincinnati building, COM
menced in 1873, has cost to date nearly
$4,000 900. The Philadelphia building,
begun in 1873, has cost thus far "a, 300,-
900, and the st. Louis building. COM
menced in 1872, has cost "a, zoo. 000.--
The Boston building is about complet>
ed, and the Chicago building will prob
ably be finished by next year. The
other three large buildings are all well
advanced and will not be long in COM
pleting. When these five gpeat struc-
lures are finished they will have cost
the government upwards of s25, 900, 600
and their completion will save the gov
eminent from further appropriatin0 on

Considerable excitement was
created in this city last night by
the tumbling down of a large stone
building, known as the old JAIL
and occupied by a number OF col,
ored families. The shrieks and
groans of the occupants OF the
house caused almost the entire
population to assemble, but an ex-
animation disclosed the fact that
no one was either killed or serious
ly injured. One infant was found
in bed, nearly smothered with
laths and mortar, and an old color
ed man went down from an upper
room in the midst of falling walls,
with a child in his arms, and both
escaped with but slight injuries
The building has been long regard
ed as Insecure, and should have
been condemned.

THE YELLOW FEvER.-The first
case of yellow fever at Memphis, last
summer, was that Of q colored man
who came up the river on the 2lst of
July. He had the disease in a mild
form and recovered, but two of his
children, attacked subsequently, died
of it, Before they were taken down,
however, q young man, wbp had been
in the habit of passing by the infected
house. was seized with the plague. This
was July 25. He also recovered, but
his nurse died. 1t was not until the
l4th Of August that the presence of the
fever was made public, when it was an-
nounced that an Italian snaek-house
keeper had died Of it. 1t is noteworthy
that, although the fever has appeared
in previous years as early as May,
New Orleans, ls7O,) 1t has never as
sumed an epidemic form before August.
