health this morning issued the following
order. To the people of the oity of Memphis
we would say, quietly remove your families
to place of safety until we can at least SEE
whether the few cases of yellow fever will
assume an epidemic form. 10 the people
along the lines of different routes of travel
We say, there can be no possible danger of in
feotion for several days to come Five new
cases reported this morning and one death,
an infant of Judge E. II. Ray, of the GRIM
is Frustrated with the disease. A perfect
stampede of citizens is in progress, trains
being unable to carry away the hundreds who
are ready to leave.
MEMPHIS, July 1O.--At this hour, P. NJ,
there has been no change in the situation.
The great desire every one is to leave before
the fever spreads. Physicians are hopeful
as to the future, but the stampede of citizens
has almost assumed a panic form. There
will not be cars enough to carry people
away. Business is progressing as usual but
in limited manner.
MEMPHIS, July 1O.-To-night a more
hopeful feeling exists. The panic of the
day has gradually subsidized, and thorough
investigation of the situation reveals the
following condition of affairs: There are
only two persons in the whole city Frustrated
with fever-Judge Ray and his son.
AS one incident of the panic to-day,
thirteen street car drivers struck.
Two deaths have occurred, Frank Null
brandon, as telegraphed last night, and a
son of Judge Ray, as telegraphed at noon.
OF the five new cases reported to the board
of health, upon examination by the presi-
dent, DR.. G. B. Thornton, three of these
were declared other diseases than yellow
fever. Two of these cases, Maurice B. Tobin
and wife, residing on Bradford street, were
reported by DR.. G. B. Henning. Tobin died
to-day, but experts say it was not of yellow
fever. Neither has his wife the fever. DR..
Henning, after giving wide circulation
to the reported illness of the family and
advising every one to leave instantly, this
afternoon himself left the city, leaving his
patients to the care of other physicians.
The third case thrown out was Mr.. Boisonet,
who resides at the corner of Second and
Keel streets, in Chelsa. Mr.. Boisonet had q
case of bilious fever, but was so far conval-
escent that his physician discharged him on
the 9th. Yet this was one of the five cases
reported to the board of health. All trains
leaving tonight were crowded, and hun
dreds will leave tomorrow. The mere fact
that two deaths have occurred is sufficien
lever to force people out of the city.
NEW ORLEANS.
NEW ORLEANS, July 1O.-At meeting of
the State board of health tonight resolutions
were adopted setting forth that New Orleans
was never healthier, being entirely free from
yellow fever, and remarkably free from all
kinds of diseases. The port is rigidly quar-
antined and great care given to the sanitary
condition of the city.
Resolved That in order to continue this
healthy condition, it is the duty of this board
to enforce against Memphis the rules and regu-
lations suggested by the national board of
health.
The president of the board was further
authorized to establish q rigid quarantine
against Memphis, both by rail and river, and
to place inspectors on all trains entering the
State. DR.. s. M. Bemis, of the national
board of health, is cooperating with the
State board.
DR.. HAMILToN's OPINION.
WASHINGTON, July 1O.-Dr. Hamilton,
supervising surgeon general of the Marine
Hospital service, doee not apprehend repe-
tition of the yellow fever epidemic of last
year in the South. He thinks there NAV be
serious cases, but considers the precautions
taken will prevent the spread of the disease.
The negro exodus may carry considerable in
fected baggage into Missouri and Kansas,
and thus cause some cases of yellow fever in
those States.
QUARANTINE AGAINST MEMPHIS.
VIoKsBURG, July 1O.-The mayor issued a
proclamation ordering strict quarantine
against Memphis by land and water. No
boats leaving that point to-day or landing
within five miles will be allowed to land here.
