KNOxyIIIE TENN: FRIDAY MORNING,

Mails which have been fumigated at
the State line are allowed to enter
the State.
WASHINGTON, July PA tel
gram raceived by the Nation
Board Of Health to-day announces
nine new cases and two deaths
since yesterday at Memphis, and
five cases and one death at Missis-
sippi City. The latter point is re-
ported as isolated, aud there is no
danger of the disease spreading.
The four cases there are GONZALES
cent.
On account of the rigid enforce
ment of the quarantine regulations
against Memphis, the acting assist
ant Postmaster, Gen. Morton, to-
day telegraphed to the Postmaster
at Cincinnati to cease sending
through registered mail pouches to
Arkansas by that route until the
fever subsidies or the quarantine is
relaxed.
TUESDAYS SICK AND DEATH LIST.
We clip the following from the
Amerjcan's dispatches, showing the
sick and death list of Tuesday. We
olive thn names for the benefit of the
refugees now in this country:
SELECTING A CAMP.
The greatest difficulty yet ex~
perienced in carrying out these
wholesome suggestions has been in
the selection of suitable camping
ground. Several places along the
line OF the Memphis & Charleston
Railroad have been selected, but in
every instance the people living in
The immediate vicinity have offered
strong opposition. They fear an
importation of the fever in their
midst, and the result of all is that
nothing has been done. Father
Walsh, a Catholic priest of dis
tinction, will re-establish Camp
Father Matthew, which was the
home of nearly five hundred of his
faith, last year. This camp will be
situated about six miles southeast oi
the city.
THE LOUISVILLE & NASHVILLE ROAD
DR.. D. I. Porter, President o.
the Board of Police and Fire Com
missionets, stated to your CORE
spondent, this afternoon, that if the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad haG
acted in a liberal spirit toward the
authorities, he would have had the
city depopulated, but with a greedi
ness that stands unparalleled in the
annals Of history this Company
have refused to extend any assist
ance towards the removing Of the
poor to a place of safety. It is
true, in a few instances, they gave
half-fare rates to Louisville, but
even this small reduction has beer
stopped. DR.. Porter was notified
to-day, that half-fare rates could
only be given to Mckenzie, Tenn.
which renders him powerless to re-
move the masses.
