New Orleans, July 26.-The Citizens
association begin disinfecting the city
entire ON Monday. No fever to date.
Nashville, July 26.-Rev. b. F. Tel
ler, "a Memphis refugee, died of yellow
fever at Shelbyville at 10 o'clock last
night, and was buried at 2 a. m. to-
day. Much uneasiness on account of
his death is felt at Shelbyville.
st. Louis, July 26,-The health COM
missioners, John II. Rauch, of Illinois,
and G. w. Francis, of st. Louis, have
been in consultation here to-day, trying
to arrange for the disposition of Mem
phis refugees, it being the feeling of
both that it will not be safe to let any
more of these people scatter through
the city or through the Illinois towns
in this vicinity. The proposition most
favored since the government has re-
fused to provide tents and rations for
camp, is to charter steamboats, and
maintain floating quarantine for the
Memphians who come up the river after
after this date. Health Commissioner
Francis.repoits that of the half dozen
who are sick at quarantine, only one
case is regarded as suspicious, or likely
to develop into yellow fever. The boats
which brought up Memphis freight and
passengers remain at quarantine, and
the mayor refuses positively to allow
them to come up to the city.
Memphis, July 26.-TLirteen new
cases in all were reported to the board
of health to-day. One additional
death occurred this afternoon, Joseph
Adams, at 70 Clay street. 1t was
thought that the board of health this
afternoon would declare the fever as
epidemic, but after careful revision
of the reports from all the undertakers,
the results showed that out of II
deaths reported for the week, but "a
had died of yellow fever.
The city authorities have perfected
all arrangements and will establish
camps early next week. The ex-
ecutive committee have issued the fol-
lowing address to all citizens of Men,
phis, absent as well as present:
''The undersigned beg leave to in
form you that they have been appoint
ed an executive committee from the
general committee of safety, to CO.
operate with the authorities, of taxing
the district, in the maintainance of
order and the protection of life and
property during the prevalence Of the
yellow fever. Warned by past exper-
fence of the evils developed in all COM
munities by public excitement and suf-
fering, we are resolved to concert such
measures as may meet all emergencies,
and give all needed help to taxing the
district government. In carrying out
these purposes, we call upon our fellow
citizens for moral and material sup
port. We propose that as far as pos
sible all contributions be sent to Presi-
dent Porter, so that by uniting our eff
forts the greatest good may be done to
the greatest number, with the least
waste of means. We call upon Mem
phians to unite in shouldering the
heavy burden once more laid upon us.
We implore one and all to protect the
good name of the city from the pos
sible imputation of being community
OF beggars on the world at large, sit
ting idly down and expecting others to
take care of our interests and feed our
moor
