The death of Mr.. Reyband, in New York
has given rise to much speculation. The
statement of DR.. Janeway, OF New York
that he died of yellow fever Is getting wide
currency throughout the currency, that will
be hurtful to this city, If not counteracted.
Mr.. Reyband, as stated in former commu-
nication, was a resident of this city for thirty
wears, and had passed through all the various
epidemics that have prevailed here during
that time, and had yellow fever in 1854.
That he should die with yellow fever is alb
surd. When he left here, he WAS in apparent
good health, but on the way over to New
Orleans Le complained of feeling unwell, and
Mr. N. N. John, who was on his way with
DR.. McClanahan to New Orleans, cautioned
Mr.. Reyband about catching cold, as he was
threatened with yellow jaundice, audit would
90 hard with him. He, however, did take
cold, and this accounted for hisillness in New
Orleans. Not deeming it of any importance,
regardless of the opportunities of his daughter
he pushed on to New York. The excite
ment and worry of travel aggravated the dis
ease, and when he reached Albany he was
very i'll. He, wever, was determined to
reach New York, and the following extract
f rom letter received by Mr.. j. +. Simons
from M. & H. Schrenkeisen, of New York,
under date of the 18th inst, describes the
condition Of Mr. Rey band when he reached
that city: "The only particulars we can
gather respecting the matter are these: He
came in carriage on Tuesday evening to
Sweeneys hotel, and it.appears they put him
off by telling him they had no suitable room,
etc. The hackman then took him next door,
to the 0verton house, where he was re-
ceived. A doctor was then sent for, and he
advised to have Mr.. Reyband taken TO the
hospital the following morning The people
at the hotel say that he was very sick and
very much exhaus ed; could hardly
speak OF make himself understood,
and almost unconscious, which seems to be
true, or he would doubtless have gone to
some friends, or at least would have sent for
them. The doctor at the hospital concurs in
this statement, and says that he was inca
pable of speech and powerless, and in this
state .ha.died." THE papers" the firm states,
"in some manner got hold Of Mr.. Reyband's
death, and reported it MS probable case of
yellow fever when 1t was no doubt yellow
auudice.' This was unquestionably the
cause of Mr.. Reyband's DEATH the board Of
coroners and Or. Janeway to the contrary
notwithstanding. Their brutal disregard of
the instructions of relatives here, to have the
remains inferred in the Catholic cemetery
with the rites of that church and appropri
ately marked with a headstone, after they
had received intelligence that his remains
his burial at Segune Point, Staten
Island, is severely commented upon here.
DR.. Watts, president of the board of health,
81. l., th,
fession here emphatically scout the ide. I
Mr.. RS death being the result Of yellow
fever, and this is shared by men who have
been prominent and efficient workers through
all the epidemics that have prevailed here
and whose opinions and experience entitle
them to speak authortaiively on question
of such moment to alyeston.--While the
sanitary condition of the city is an outrage
and not conducive to healty or longevity,
thus far no disease OF q contagious character
has made its appearance, and our death rate
thus far has been comparatively low during
the summer months. 1t cannot be ascribed
to a rigid conformity TO the laws of hygiene
All the elements are here for it to feed and
fatten upon, and no effort made toward their
removal by the city or health authorities.
Galveston has been extremely lax in the
enforcement of sanitary regulations, and if
sickness is rife during the coming fall
months, it will be directly tracesble to this
eause.-The establishment of a paper bag
factory in this city by Mr.. Nunnelly, has
finally become fixed fact. A large build
ng has been secured on Winnie street, and
machinery is already here and it is expected
to have the mandatory under way in a
very short time. Mr.. Nunnelly has been
guaranteed the patronage Of all the principal
houses in the city, and when under way will
give employment to forty or fifty handa.-
The schooner Ark came down from the
Trinity river yesterday with cargo of wal.
nut and white ash, which is to be exported to
Liverpool. It's believed Interpretation of
such timber to Europe will eventually be-
come feature in the export trade of Gal
veston.-The Wharf company's new rail-
road, along avenue A., east TO Nineteenth
street, FOR the accommodation of the
new oil factory, now nearing
completion, was finished and the first train
passed over it yesterday. Things were
made lively around the police station yes
terday by the yelling that emanated from the
two little mokes who came near causing a
confagration the day before. The irate
father took hand in administering ode law"
to his hayward sons by the vigorous applica-
ton of strap, which made the police station
resound with the yells of the youngsters
Histrionic Society and Juvenile Pinafore are
active rehearsal for an appearance before
the public in short time for the benefit of
some charity or church organization. The
former appear in public next Tuesday night
at the opera house.--Fifty-o passengers
left yesterday for the north and interior, via
q. H.. IL II. and G.. Q. Il s. f. roads,
Yesterday John, better known as "Jsck" Pith-
or, joined the order of benedicts by MARRYING
Miss Minns Kochn, of Rich nond, Texas.
The ceremony took place at Rich4nond, and
the happy couple arrived here last night on
the S:l5 train, and were met at the Train bv
large concourse Of friends and conveyed
to little palace of cottage that Jack has
been fitting up with rare taste for his bonny
bride Here the boys of the police force
with the genial ergeant Hunter as master of
ceremonies, gave Jack and his lovely bride
grand reception and sereRade. The bride
is young, beautiful and accomplished, while
Jack is one of the most efficient and popular
Off .ers on the police force and fine speci-
men of physical manhood. May their pas
sage over LIES tempestuous sea be one of
peace, happiness and prosperity.
N. B. Yard, who is never happier than when
he ia doing good, and in consequence of his
many acts Of unobtrusvc kindness has be-
come public benefactor, handed your re-
