The Rally a, CoIIierYiIIe.

The $50 train on the Memphis &
Charleston railroad carried out a
number Of gentlemen to Collierville,
including Captain P. R. Athy, Z. L.
McGowan, Chancellor Mcdowell and
several of their friends. The fore
noon was spent in mingling freely
with the people Of the place and of
the surrounding country. There
was a large gathering of both
white and colored, as both sides had
announced that speakers would make
addresses. Two meetings were held
at the same time; the republicans
speaking in the open air, and the
democrats in a large hall. Col. Luke
Il. Finlay made the opening speech in
the hall, a crowd of perhaps two hun
dred white citizens being present
The .colored people, although in
vited and expected TO attend,
saw proper to be absent, only few
put in an appearance and these soon
left, the only exceptions being a few
colored democrats who went out from
Memphis. Colonel Finlay's speech
occupied something over an hour. II
was the impressive effort of an earn
est, thoughtful man having the real
welfare and safety of the community
at heart If published, it would be not
only a fine literary production, but
. good campaign document. 1t was an

THE YELLOW FEVER SCARE
No Appearance of Yellow Jack
at New Orleans.

NEW YORK, July 2l.-The resident
correspondent Of the World at New
Orleans, sends the following explana-
ton OF the rumor regarding the ap-
pearance of yellow fever:
The bark Excelsior, laden with
coffee, arrived here from Rio, having
been fifty y-eight days, including twelve
days she was required to lay over at
quarantine station, in making the
trip from city to city. Several DAYS
after her arrival, and after the cargo
was unladen, one of the men fell sick
with yellow fever and died-at least
his case was pronounced yellow fever
by DR.. Loerber. The board of health
becoming cognizant of these facts,
ordered the vessel back to quaran-
tine station, and notified the consignees
of the coffee that it must not be
sold or shipped from the city until
such time as the board may appoint
After the vessel reached the station
two more of the crew were taken sick
with fever. A committee was an.
pointed by the board of health to pro
ceed to the station to diagnose these
cases. The committee has not re-
ported yet The vessel was regularly
disinfected on her first arrival at the
station, the bilge-water pumped out.
the cargo shifted and fumlgated and
everything else done to properly de-
stroy whatever infectious m tier that
might be in her. The crew were in
perfect health when she left for the
city, after remaining over twelve DAYS.
as required by law. The cargo was
discharged by 'longshoremen and not
by the crew. The former have been
looked after blythe board Of health. No
case OF fever has occurred among them.
But the sailor who died, as well as
those who fell sick after the vessel
was remanded to quarantine, were en-
gagged for two days in scraping the
masts of the vessel, with the sun beat
ing down on them with it's intl-e
heat. In fact, the first victim war
taken sick while so engaged, and OF
being removed to the Touro inhrmary
was said to be sick with yellow fever
With this exception not a single cas-,
of sickness resembling yellow fever
has occurred here since last summer.
The city is extremely heslthy-unusu
ally so for the season-yet the state
boards of health of Mississippi and
Tennessee have quarantined us against
persons and merchandise, because the
cargo consisting, as stated before, ex.
cluoively of coffee. is locked up in a
city warehouse. This is the full ex
tent Of the fever scare of which such
very full accounts have been tele-
graphed to all the news centers. A
single problematic case and no more
the other two cases, if yellow fever at
all, did not occur until the vessel
reached the quarantine station, which
is located forty miles below the city.
