PENSACOLA, FLA, September g.
The board OF health declares yellow
fever epidemic. We have had in the
past twenty-four hours sixteen new
cases and three deaths. A terrific
storm prevails, having continued for
a night and day, which threatens
fatal results. One of the greatest
burdens inflicted by the epidemic is
the inability OF the merchants to
collect money due, and country
places having quarantlDed, necessl-
tatlng general suspension of busl-
ness. a large number OF those
bess able to Pay are absent and Can
not Ue reached, while thUse who re-
main are no ding on to tbeir dollars,
not knowing what the next two
months may bring forth, nor what
they wIlI have to endure before frost.
From these SOurc,s collections are
beng Almost entirely suspended,
