DRUBBING A DOCTOR,
A Vine Street Physician Assaulted Unmer
cifully,

Cllully.
Doctor Schmidt, who has an office at No.
543 Vine street, advertiseS to cure diseases
of the lungs &C., by the use of herbs. Last
week the wife of Louis Huber, an employe
of Foss & Schneider's brewery, went to the
doctor and paid $40 for some medicine with
which to cure a case OF lung disease. Huber,
hearing of the matter, became vexed, and
last night in company with Emil Kern,
also all employe of the brewery, and an.
other man, whose name is unknown, went
to the doctors office to compel him to re-
fund the money or whip him. When they
arrived at the house the doctor was sitting
on the front step.
They then asked him inside the house,
and he, suspecting nothing, went in. No
sooner in than the front and back doors
were locked. Then they seized the man of
herbs and laid him upon a lounge. They
demanded the $40, but he refused to give
it up. Then a long, heavy strap was pro-
duced, and while two of the men held him
the other beat him most numerically.
The Doctors cries for help soon attracted
to the scene several gentlemen. who effected
an entrance by kicking in the back door.
Auber and Kern were quickly taken into
custody, but the unknown accomplice
escaped. The would-be murderers were
locked up at the Dremen-street Station
house OH the charge of assault with intent
to kill.
DIR. Bruckner, who attended to DR..
Schmidts injuries pronounces them very
severe, and that only good treatment will
bring him through safely.
In the Police Court this morning the
Doctor was unable to appear against the
defendants, and their cases were therefore
continued until next Tuesday. Their bail
was fixed at $1,000, which being unable to
give they were again locked up.

SOUTHERN SCOURGE.
The Yellow Flag Once More
Floats Over Memphis.
No Cases Reported at New Orleans.

Special to the Star.
New ORLEANS, July 1.-THE newspapers
this morning all agree in the statement that
there is not and has not been single case
OF yellow fever in New Orleans. They say
this information is based on a careful ex-
animation OF all the reported cases, talks
with all the leading physicians of the city,
and statements of all the members of the
Board Of Health. Every precaution has
been taken to avert the calamity of another
epidemic, and the best informed believed
their efforts would be successful.
The real belief is that the disease which
has commenced in Memphis will this year
take northwesterly course, going through
Arkansas, and that this and other extreme
Southern localities will escape. This opin-
ion is based partly on the fact that this and
most other cities of the far South are very
healthy at present, being as free from ma
larlous fevers as was ever known at this
season of the year.
CINCINNATIAN DISTINGUISHES HIMSELF.
MEMPHIS, July 1.-THE streets are full Of
people fleeing from the city, and all sorts
of rumors regarding yellow fever but
traced to their source, they generally prove
groundless. A young man, said to be a
drummer from Cincinnati house, was de-
tected yesterday spreading reports that
fifty new cases had occurred and number
OF deaths. President Langstaff Of the How
ards, demanded his authority, which he
could not give. He was notified that in the
present state of excitement lie would be
held personally responsible for such un-
founded sensational reports.
MEMPHIS, July 11-4 P. M.-.No new cases
reported up to noon to-day. The scare is
over, with no prospects of an epidemic.

PANIC AT MEMPHIS.
MEMPHIS, July 11-9 A. M.-The report

of Mulbrandon, the first victim, had thrown
our people. Judge Ray and two of his
sons and another boy were the recent cases,
one of the Ray boys dying. The death of
Maurice Tobin, saddler, yesterday, is also
attributed to yellow fever. The Board of
Health and physicians are doing all they
can to subdue the excitement, but people

The Mayor of Nicksburg has issued a

New ORLEANS. July 11.-At the regular

resembling it in any respect. The other

and declared that no case of fever had been
reported to them or heard of by them. All
the physicians OF the town make the same
announcement. In accordance with the

CLEVELAND, July l1.-One of the heaviest

trees, roofs, telegraph wires, &c, with it.
The roof from the Perkins Block was car.
ried away during the heaviest of the rain,
which poured down in torrents, complete.
ly drenching the numerous attorneys and
architects Offices situated in that building,
and of course doing great damage.
The roof of Fuller Warren's extensive

OwENToN, KY, July II = Noon.-The

making up his jury, five only having been
obtained last night. These are all farmers
and honest, reliable looking men, although
they confessed that they had read no news

stood that Buford does not altogether relish
the insanity plea, and he seldom has any
thing to say to his counsel.
