ALARM AT NEW ORLEANS.
A Suspicious Case, Which the Doctors De-
clare Was Not Yellow Fever.

New ORLEANS, July % The Board of Health
met tonight and considered the case of the child
of Lafliel Patterson, who died on July %, at No
50 Third street, Fourth district this city. The
Board of Health officially promulgates this state
ment:
sThesymptoms during the last thirty-six hours
of the illness of the child according to observa-
tions of the attending physicians, were those of
sporadic case of yellow fever, but the patho-
logical evidence furnished by a careful examina-
ton OF viscera by competent commission ap-
pointed by this board, has not sustained that
conclusion. The Board of Health. therefore, is
compelled to entertain doubt as to the positive
nature of this case, and must publish it as sus-
picious of yellow fever. -
The board, together with the auxiliary sanitary
association and the city authorities, are taking
every precaution through sanitation of the
neighborhood and Of the entire district, 1t
seems that H. d. Schmidt pathologist of the
Charity Hospital, examined the black vomit
with a microscope and declared it was not
the black Yomit of yellow fever
DIR. Godfrey, of the Marine Hospital
service, and DR.. Solomon, Of the Boardof Health,
also stated that the case was not one of yellow
fever and 1t is said this is also the opinion Of
DR.. Finney; the coroner, who made theautopsy
DR.. Bemiss,. of the National Board Of Health
although invited, was not present at the post
mortem examination The board passed the fol-
lowing resolution:
THAT the president of this board telegraph the
Surgeon general Of the Marine Hospital service the
president of the National Board of Health and the
State authorities of Alabama Mississippi, Florida
Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Illinois, that
a suspicious case of fever had oc.
CURED at New Orleans, reported as yellow
fever by the attending physician, but which not
confirmed as such upon post mortem examination
by DR.. II. D. Schmidt pathologist of the Charity
Hospital"
DR.. Godfrey states that he will, in his report
to Surgeon general Hamilton, most positively
assert that the case was not yellow fever.

THE RICHMOND NATIONAL BANK.
The Bank Examiner Reports It's Condition
Better than He Anticipated.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.


RICHMOND, July g. "A. G. Hay completed his
examination of the affairs of the suspended
Richmond National Bank this evening, and re-
ports its condition better than he anticipated
and fully as good as the officers of the bank rep
resented it when they closed their doors There
is little reason to doubt that the banks creditors
will receive all that is owing them, unless
some Of those who have settled
by receiving notes should fail to
realize full value or the notes There is, per
haps, some likelihood Of this; but all who are
still looking only to the bank and its stockhold-
ers are safe. The hestockholders will suffer loss;
but whether it will be much beyond their hold
ings of stock cannot yet be determined
An officer of the bank says that one of the
immediate causes of the suspension was
the rapid withdrawal of some $4,000 of
$4,000 deposit by M G. Henley, the roller
skate manufacturer. Some days, perhaps
weeks ago, Charles F. Coffin, the officer says,
went to Henley to learn when he was likely to
want this money the deposit being large and
the bank not wishing to be called upon for it
suddenly. Mr.. Henley said that he would not
want it for some months, and them a short time
after tperhaps becoming a little afraid Of the
bank, he began to check out in large sums.
There has been no unusual demand for money
at the other banks to-day, and there is no ex-
element or apprehension.

Cholera and rs treatment.

By a Lady Resident in India for Eight Years
There are three stages in cholera. The first
seldom fails to yield to immediate treatment A
delay of thirty minutes in treating the first stage
generally results fatally, while if attended to at
once it seldom develops into the second stage,
from which recovery is rare Treatment for the
first stage should be twenty to thirty drops Of
chlorodine, in the best brandy, every half hour
until better. The patient should lie down. keep
ing as quiet as possible. II is always advisable
to call in medical man, for none else can decide
whether the attack is simple diarrhea or chol
era and the treatment for the first stage might
be, though it is not always, dangerous, as there
is more Inflammation in the second stage, which
spirits would increase. Hence the necessity of
a doctor. At the first symptoms have known
half tumbler of cognac brandy given with
good results, more especially if the patient was
in the habit of taking spirits.
In India, cholera is not thought to be conta-
gious except under peculiar circumstances I
would not hesitate to attend cholera in its worst
form. During the eight years of my stay in Cal
cutta, Barrackpoor, Madras ETC.. / was in the
midst Of cholera and smallpox. Within radius
of five miles of Calcutta there are half million
natives with cholera and smallpox among them
all the time. In the cholera ward, at Calcutta
have stood by the bedside of the worst cases
that have been fatal in few hours. believe
one thing, that fear of cholera often induces it
One instance is on record, where several doctors
wished to gain information on this point The
doctors asked permission to experiment on a
man condemned to be hung. 1t was granted A
cell in the prison was thoroughly cleaned out
and new bed and bedding placed in it. The
condemned man was put in and remained all
night In the morning an attendant went in to
see the man, and asked how he had slept The
man replied that he had slept soundly and felt
we'll 'Glad to hearit, said the attendant, for
a man who had cholera died in that bed yester-
day. The poor culprit was panic-stricken aud
shortly after was seized with cholera, and died
in few hours.
II have had what was thought to be the first
stage twice, once at Glasgow, Scotland in 1847
and again at Calcutta, East India in 1864 /

Glasgow had laudanum instead of the chlorO
dine they use in India. The first fatal symp-
tom in cholera is blueness of, or rather under
the nails When this is seen there is very little
hope; still, recovery has followed even this
The great thing to be desired is quiet To keep
up the patients courage the attendant should be
cheerful and never whisper This alarms at
once These are some of the facts brought to
mind by reading in the newspapers of the chol-
era The papers do well to advise cleanliness
and temperance; advice which trust will be

POLITICAL NOTES.

Carter Harrison Accepts the Nomination and
Swallows the Peoria Platform.
CHICAGO, July 23-Mayor Harrison to-day
gave out his letter formally accepting the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor of Illinois. He
declares that the cry for the present campaign
is reform, and contends that the Republican
party has outlived its usefulness. He says he
relies in Illinois upon the votes of young Amer
leans and the foreign vote for success. He
declares that the foreign policy of the Demo
cratic party will be more vigorous than that of
the Republican party has ever been in protecting
American citizens. He finally declares that he
indorses the State platform in all it's parts, and
and thereby passes no criticism upon the free
trade plank.
