ROOM FOR ENCOURAGEMENT.
The situation to-day appears slightly
aore favorable. The weather is cool and
leasant, the minimum temperature this
horning being so.
Joseph Bernard, clerk in the grocery
tore Of Col. II. T. Baya, on Bay street,
led to-day. Since the outbreak of the
liver he has stood resolutely at his post,
ut v as taken sick Sunday, and to-day sue
umbed to the plague. The grocerymen
re II class whose services are apparently
ut little appreciated, and with the excep-
ion of the drug stores, they are about the
nly business houses now open in the city.
fany of the clerks have stood bravely at
beir posts, supplying the people with the
ecessities of life, and they are worthy of
very commentator.
w. b. Owens, chairman of the relief COM
hittee, was taken sick this morning. No
gmptoms of fever have developed, and it
believed that his illness is caused by
ervous prostration and overwork.
MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE.
AT the meeting of the executive commit
ee to-day DR.. Kenworthy, city health
liicer, was requested. through Acting
Gayor Gerow, to visit MaccIenny once each
Eeek and report upon the situation there.
lie doctor, who had just returned from
aacclenny, reported the rumors regarding
lie situation as somewhat exaggerated, but
aid that several more nurses are needed to
axe the place of those recently discharged.
DR.. L'Engle reported that $4,000 bushels
shells were to be placed upon the road
eadlng to the cemetery, and that the road
would soon be in excellent condition.
new supply station was opened to-day
Sext to the office of the medical bureau, for
IMPLYING wines, WHISTLES, etc., to the
lurseS and doctors.
NURSES SICK.
Some of the New York nurses who came
ere several days ago are down with the
ever, and more will probably follow. Six
urses came in from Tampa to-day, some
White and some colored A new nurse also
Frlved from Texas, but was sent back to
lamp Perry as not acclimated. 1t was
cared that he would soon contract the
ever.
Probably the dreariest part OF the twenty
our hours which those who are well have to
ldure is Immediately after sunset AS
bon as darkness settles down over the city
he streets are deserted and the only sound
Hhich disturbs the profound silence is the
Gmble OF carriage carrying a nurse or
physician to patient who may be in the
ast stages of the dreadful fever. Gu the
eroets scarcely light can be seen. except
lere and there the sickly yellow glimmer Of
street lamp or the Pickering light from a
aver stricken house.
CoNvALEsoENTs ON THE STREET.
One OF the characteristic features Of the
plague is the large number Of people gu the
ltreet, whose pale and emaciated faces and
ottering steps proclaim a recently recov-
red victim OF the fever. 1t makes no diff
ierence how skeptical these people may
ssaVe been of the power OF yellow jack be-
nfe being Frustrated, they one and all
'gree, upon their recovery, that the viru-
"nce and weakening power of the fever
was lar beyond their expectation.
LOOKING AT A LIVER.
To-day the NEWS correspondent had tho
pleasure of viewing, through pow
ntul telescope, a portion Of the
.'er OF patient who had
u'ed from the fever. The tissue presents
much the appearance OF a honeycomb.
apparently the solid portion Of the liver
.aS been completely devoured by the de-
nnIoj ing microbes, leaving nothing but
,holsonds OF infinitely small cells, whose
DIMENSIONS vary from exactly square 70
