The Yellow Fever.

MEMpuIs, Sept. 2.--Under the direo.
ton OF the State Board Of Health the

infected throughout than ever before.
Twenty. four new cases were reported
yesterday, and the Towards are putting
still more nurses on duty. The weather
is cloudy and warm. The total number
of cases Of fever reported to'the Board
OF Health TO date Is s73. Of which 453
are white aud 400 colored. The total
deaths are 223. being 1873 whites and 60
blacks. or 40 per cent. OF whites and
only 70 per cent. Of blacks. distances
are numerous OF persons who had the
fever In past years being stricken again.
Last year the deaths to September 4
were 8O4.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. a. General
Hoods sevsn.year-old daughter is im.
proving. His son. aged eight, became
sick with the fever day before yesterday.
Alice Williams, aged three years, died OF
yellow fever yesterday morning. The
total deaths from fever this year thus far
are only six. while last year the total to
September 4 was 1874. 1t is considered
that the fever cannot possibly become
epidemic to the extent Of last year, for
the simple fact that the local authorities
are using their utmost sndeavors to carry
ont the principles Of isolation and disin.
lection. The streets and sewers are be'
ing kept clean. and disinisction 10 going

The Crew. Point Railroad bridge,

A srea, many have wondered why the
blasting has been kept continued in the
cut south OF the Crown Point railroad
bridge since the Belcher big fywheel
has been delivered. the enlargement OF
the cut having been commenced for the
purpose Of allowing the wheel to pass
through. The explanation is very sp-
parent now. As also why those strong
iirmly.braced and heavily supported
timbers were placed at the further end
ON the west side. The railroad company
is strengthening the bridge. In order to
do this the cut Is being widened at the
north end. This will take some six feet
Of the curve from the bridge and place
II in the cut beyond. thus strengthening
the bridge materially aud lessening the
wear and tear Of passing over 1t.
