will be made soon TO have the city council pre-
scribe CO.. tain limits In the city In which ell cot

and impolitc, and instead OF contributing 70 me

bly, be tho consequence. What good result
would follow such restriction by the conncil Is
not apparent No business man ON Elm
or other streets where cotton IL now
offered enters any complaint OF
Inconvenience from cotton wagons on tho streets,
butte the contrary they all would very sttenu-
ously oppose any such action ON the part OF the
council II might In n measure bcncht tho par
tcular locality selected for such market, but II
would meet with such just opposition from all
other portions of the city, that the authorities
would hardly venture upon even an experiment

PRESIDENT MADDEN
Refuses to Give to DIR. Dunlap, Of the
National Board of Health, the
Name of the Writer of
A Letter from New Orleans Stating There
was YellOw-Fever There, which
Statement is Untrue.

Yesterday morning in the course OF a con-
versation, President Hadden, of the Taxing
District, told DR.. Fayette Dunlap, the repre-
sentative in this city of the National Board
OF Health, that Mr.. MIlburu, president of
the German National Bank, was in re-
ceipt of letter from New Orleans stating
that there were some cases of yellow-fever
in that city. Mr.. MADDEN said that Mr.. Mil
burn believed this statement to be correct, as
he had great confidence IN the writer. DR..
Dunlap asked President Hsdden for the
name of the writer of the letter, as it was
part of his duty 10 trace all such statements
or any rumor to its source, in
order that the public might be
apprised and that the National Board
himself, on being able to verify such rumor
or statement, might at once enforce a rigid
quarantine against New Orleans for the pro-
lection of the people OF Memphis, and might
warn the authorities OF Vicksburg and other
points below, that they might do likewise.
President Hadden either could not or would
not give the name of the writer. So DIR.
Dunlap at once called upon Mr.. Milburn,
who admitted having received such letter
from New Orleans, and that he had the
utmost confidence in the writer, but he also
refused to give the name. DIR. d inlsp had
no recourse left but communicate with DR..
Chailie, the representative of the National
Board of Health at New Orleans, to whom
he telegraphed that Mr.. Milburn, president
of the German National of this CITY, was in
receipt of 'letter from what he considered a
responsible party. stating positively that yell
low-fever is in New Orleans. The receiver of
the letter declines to give the name of the
informant. The rumor comes from a river
man." This telegram, received by DR..
Cnaille in the forenoon, was answered about
o'clock last night as follows: Several ru-
mors, but not one case has yet been found,
or would have notified you" Between the
time of receiving the dispatch of DIR.
Dunlap and sending the above an
swer, DIR. Chaille and his assistants,
acting independently of the State Board of
Health, made close investigation, the result
of which is fiat contradiction of Mr.. Mil.
burns correspondent. This is the second
statement of this sort this summer which
has been proven to be unfounded, and the
APPEAL is determined not to allow any stale
ment or rtion in relation to the yellow
fever to go unchallenged, no matter
who it emanates from. DIR. Chaille
says that there is not one case of yellow
fever 10 New Orleans. Now, if Mr.. Mil
burne's correspondent is reliable as he be-
lieves, let him give the names of the persons
sick OF yellow-fever 10 New Orleans and their
residence, or else acknowledge that he is mis-
taken. The welfare of too many communi-
ties is at stake IN this matter to allow it TO
pass upuoticed
