Yellow Fever at Concordia.
eial to Vicksburg Herald. I

Special to Vicksburg Herald,
GREENvILLE Miss, Sept. ia courier
has just arrived here from Concordia, Boil
var county, seventy miles above here on the
Mississippi river, and reports six cases and
two deaths from a suspicious type of fever
kilograms have been sent to the State Board
of Health at Jackson, Mississippi, asking for
physicians and nurses. Up to this day the
the following deaths have occurred Mrs.
Capt. NJ. Tobin and Capt John H. Tobin.
The latter took sick on the fifth instant.
and died yesterday. Mr.. J. Key, lawyer
from Corinth, Mississippi, who has been in
Concordia three months, is expected to die
to-day Those sick now are George Tobin,
S. Frank and Sam Riesman. The local
physicians have been treating the disease as
typhus malarial, but without success. The
symptoms do not resemble yellow fever.
The bodies do not assume a yellow tinge af-
ter death, nor have the usual symptoms
common to the earlier stages of the disease
been observed. Mrs. Tobin died two weeks
ago. The cause of her death was reported
to be heart disease.
If the fever now prevailing at Concordia
proves to be yellow fever no cause can be
assigned for it's appearance, except the fol-
lowing: About ten weeks ago Capt. Mark
Cheek and family arrived at Concordia on
the Ouachita Belle, just from Memphis +;
they stayed at Capt. Tobin's house, and then
left. One of the alarming features of the
case is that all of the sick and dead contrac-
ted the disease while nursing at Tobin's
house. DIR. Currell and three nurses left
here to-day for Concordia. PICARD.

LETTER OF REGRET AND APOLOGY AND
LIST OF DEBTS OF HONOR.
The Coroners' Office advised yesterday of the
sudden death and possible suicide Of George Van
Glasenaf young German and promising jour
nalist The deceased registered at the Centennial
Hotel, No. ITO Chatham street, last Tuesday. He
took his departure the following morning but re-
turned at eleven O'Clock Wednesday evening and
again made application Of the clerk to be shown to
room. He was conducted to the third floor and
took possession of No A for the night Previous
to going up stairs he said that he had letter Of
great importance to write and that he would indte
1t IN his apartment prior to going TO bed. He was
thereupon supplied with pen. ink and paper, and
light was discerned in his room up to an early
hour in the morning. At eleven A. NJ. yesterday
the housekeeper, Mary Glenes. while performing
household duties in the corridor noticed the door of
the room occupied by deceased partly ajar She went
in and found deceased in bed lying on his back still
alive but unconscious. She notified the officer and
the bookkeeper fastened to the apartment. Upon an
adjoining washsand there was letter addressed to
Carl Reider Of No. l31 William street The missive
Immediately conveyed to that gentleman, and
when opened was found to contain regrets and
apologies for the rash act of suicide which the de-
ceased intimated that he contemplated He requested
that of his death be forwarded to his parents
in Germany asking their forgiveness and expressing
his contrton Another portion of the letter referred
to certain debts OF honor which the deceased had
from time to time contracted among his friends. He
gave q detailed list of these and the amounts Of in
debtedness were placed opposite their names. The
total sum amounted to $500 He said that upon pres
entation of this statement his parents that they
would, without fail. liqudate his liabilities.
It appears that deceased came OF an old and re-
pected family in Germany. He was well educated,
and brother Of his served with distinction in the
Prussian army. He had been for several years
iected reporter with German paper in this city.
He we'll known in German circles us young man
Of promise and steady habits.
Coroner Woltman made q most minute search of
the room and remains, but failed to discover the
cause of death, There marks of violence on
the body Under the pillow was found. wrapped in
piece OF newspaper. hard. small substance. of
dark brown color. pocket handkerchief lay on
chair soiled with blood II is supposed that deceased
took fatal drug previous to entering the hotel,
and prepared the letter before 1t had time to take
effect on him. Deputy Coroner Cushman will make
autopsy to-day to ascertain the cause of DEATH
