whichaccompanies malignant jaundice.
There was not found an actual sup
preston of the bile, nor was there any
great obstruction in the bile ducts.
There was nothing in the case incon-
sistent with the theory Of death from
yellow fever, yet there were some in
dications lacking that would enable
hlm to pronounce it a case of yellow
fever with certainty. The fact that
the deceased had bill of health on
his person, permitting him to leave
Galveston, would indicate that yellow
fever was prevailing there, although
the board of health had not been in
formed it. Reyberg had had yell
low fever before, but it is we'll estab
lished that man can have the disease
twice.
Notwithstanding the slight doubts
expressed by DR.. Jaueway, the off
eials at the headquarters OF the health
department proceeded as though the
case was well established, and applied
all the usual means to prevent a
spread Of the disease. The baggage
Of Mr.. Reyberg has been removed
from the hotel to the disinfecting de
pot, and was yesterday thoroughly
disinfected and fumigated. This course
was also adopted in respect to the
bedding and utensils in the room oc-
cupied by him. The room will also
be disiniected and fumigated. 1t will
then be closed up and not occupied
again until cold weather sets in, The
remains of the deceased have been
placed in a metallic casket and her
metically sealed. They will be inter.
red in the quarantine cemetery at
Sequin's Point, Staten Island, and
will not be delivered to his friends
until after the lst of November.
Mr. Reyberg was an old merchant
of Galveston, and had lived there
many years. He was much esteemed
in business and social circles. The
firm of which he was the head is Rey-
berg g. Slmons, his partner being his
stepson. They are in the house fur
nishing business. His object in com
ing to this city was to purchase carpets
from Il. S. Higgins & Co., of White
street; tinware from Ketchum Il Co,
in Beekman street, and furniture from
VI. q II. Schrenkeisen, of Canal and
Elizabeth streets. He left Galveston
90 Tuesday Of last week, and arrived
here on Friday; he went to 0verton s
hotel by mistake, as he had an ap-
pointment to meet Capt. II. Hennes-
sey, of Galveston, at Sweeny's
hotel. When he registered at
OvertOns he complained OF
feeling unwell, and went at
once to his room and to bed. He told
the clerk that he would take the next
steamer back to Galveston. The next
day he was much worse, and DR.. l..
n. Sproat was called to attend him.
lie diagnosed the case as one OF ma
lignant jaundice, and advised the re-
moval of the patient to Bellevue
hospital. He was accompanied to the
hospital by Major II. !. Foster, a
friend from Galveston, who also called
to see him several times during his
stay at the hospital. Mr.. Reyberg, it
is said, had an attack of yellow fever
in Galveston two years ago, He has
a married daughter living north, but
his friends do not know her place of
residence,
An inquiry into the history Of the
case has been made by Deputy Cor
oner Waterman, who is satisfied that
the death Of the patient was due to
yellow fever.

JUDGE WR1GHTs POsIrION.

Concerning Judge Wright's declaration
that he would not veto bill referring the
settlement of the state debt to the people,
the LEDGER of yesterday says:
"This was either lodging the question
on the presumption that such measure
is necessarily unconstitutional, or il was a
square back down from Che platform and
his overgrown faction of the democratic
party. He certainly implies that bill
might be passed which could properly be
submitted to the people, and thus gives
away his own wing of the party and con-
cedes the main point demanded by the
other side"
Then why does not the LEDGER support
Judge Wright? As the LEDGER is dem
ocratic newspaper it ought to support the
nominee of the democratic party, unless
there are grave objections to the candidate
or the platform, As Judge Wright is a
gentleman Of high personal character, and
one who has, in the opinion of the LED.
GER, conceded the main point demanded
by the boilers, there will be no improprie.

RAILRoAD EXCURSIONS

The time has passed for people to
apprehend any unusual sickness in
Memphis this year. Many people have
gone away to take little rest, and get
ready for the business, the duties and
the gaieties Of the coming season.
Some are already returning, By the
first of September nearly all our bust
ness men viii be back at their posts.
The city was never healthier in sum
mer or winter. No common sickness
of any kind prevails. The business
season opens auspiciously and buoy
antly; we have agood city and county
government. Crops are splendid all
around us. Providence has indeed
been merciful and more generous than
we deserve or could have hoped for.
The outlook was never so bright for
Memphis. People are out Of debt and
getting.ahead. Labor is abundantly
rewarded, and every enterprise -four
ishes. The railroads, with commend,
able energys have had quite a war of
rates. A Memphian can go to st. Louis
and return in broad day light most Of
the way with the privilege of remain
ing away fifteen days, for the trivial
sum Of seven dollars. II this compe-
tition goes on much longer we shall
expectto be carried for nothing, given
chrome and the life of Hancock or
Garfield, and have our hotel bills
paid. But as matter of fact, these
extremely low rates, which do not pay
the railroads, cannot last long. These
sharp competitions may advertise the
roads, make other business for the
future, but do not really pay at pres
ent. We desire to suggest, however,
that inasmuch as the lines leading out
of Memphis have reduced rates Sc
so low to get people of out
of Memphis, it is nothing but
fair and right that they should cut
down local rates for a month and in.
vite our country friends to come in
and take a look at Memphis. We
can show them some we'll paved
streets, splendid system of sewerage
superior to anything on the continent
healthy, hopeful lot Of people, and
as fine stocks Of goods as they would
find in st. Louis, Cincinnati or any
other city. They have been little
shy Of us ever since 1878, but we be-
lieve we are all right now, and that
they are ready to come in and give u.
their right hand of hearty oongratula.
ton The railroads can give Memphi,
healthy start now in the opening O
the business season, by establishing
excursion rates for people to come tt
this city and remain few days during
the month of September. They will
not lose anything by it and will max,
it up many times over in passenger anC
freight traffic during the coming sea.

anyhow, so cut down rates for a month
and help us give Memphis the biggest
boom she has had for twenty years.

JUDGE John V. Wright is third in
the race; Wilson is first, Hawkins
second and Wright last. Edwards is
running just for fun or glory. We.do
not count him in the race. This is
one time where Wright is wrong, for
Aadvices from the ranks Of the people
are that they are for Wilson. The
peoples candidate will sweep the
state. A low tax legislature will be
elected; steps viii be taken to settle as
much Of the state debt as the people
ought in equity to pay, and the world
will see who are the real rep6diators.

New York Times.
An autopsy was made yesterday at
Bellevue hospital, of the remains of
Mr.. Hypolite Reyberg, the Galveston
merchant, who died at the hospital on
Monday under conditions which indi-
Gated that his death resulted from
yellow fever. The fact revealed by
the examination indicated that the
deceased was a victim of the dreaded
disease. The case had been reported
to the board Of health on Monday and
Prof. Janeway, one of the health com
missioners and chairman OF the sani-
tary committee of the board, was
present at the autopsy, which was
performed by Deputy Coroner Water
man, in the presence of a number of
interested physicians. Prof. Janeway,
after the examination had been con-
cluded, said they had found the inham
nation of the kidneys which invaria-
bly, accompanies yellow fever, and a
condition of the liver which very
often is found in victims Of it.

and deep iaundioe that also ac

case is the temperature Of the body
and the state Of the skin while under

also throws doubt upon its genuine
ness, but if it we're known that yellow

STARKvILLE, Mss, August 2l.-
The democratic club held an un-
thusiastic meeting here last night.
1t was largely attended by the ladies
and members of the club. The Hon.
Il. L. Muldrow democratic candidate
for congress, addressed the meeting
in one Ofhis most stinging and telling
speeches, everyword of which was
filed with weight and interest. The
democrats will turn out a handsome
majority for Hancock and English,
and Muldrow. Weaver, greenback
candidate for president, and Dawson,
the greenback candidate for congress,
will not be known in the race. The
white people of this district were de
termined that the whites shall rule,
and will demonstrate it in an en-
phatic manner this fall.
