STILL COLD
The cold weather continues, supple
mented with strong northeast gale that
has been blowing steadily since morning.
The present outlook for the sick is not
cheering Extreme caution in treatment
and nursing is the only hope for many.
Superintendent 0. Y. BarkulOo sue
ceeded this morning in supplying all the
nurses needed, and it is probable that ar
rangements can be made to keep a good
supply ready for duty.
The people are gradually beginning to
believe that after few days more the
number of new cases will rapidly dimin-
ish
Surgeon Murray is taking extra pre-
cautions to prevent the Introduction of
yellow fever among the crews of the yes
sells now in port. The sailors are kept
under guard and are not allowed to come
ashore
Relief is coming in nicely and with the
burden of threatened starvation off their
minds the people are in better condition
to handle the patients and check the fe-
ver's effects. Six cars of provisions from
New York city came in to-day

| fever developed to-day. Two patients
were discharged-Joh Allen and Bowles;

Joseph H. Gray is at the point of death
on account OF relapse caused by chill ac-
quired through imprudence in the last
cold spell. He is throwing up black
yomit in large quantities and DR.. Lincoln
does not believe he can survive until
morning. Aside from this the other pa
tients have weathered the cold with
gratifying success and are all improving
and the cool weather has produced fewer
i'll effects Than was anticipated.
All parties applying to the mayor for
assistance have been put to work upon the
streets and drains, and consequently the

than it ever has been in its history and is
fully prepared to Withstand any further
spread of the disease.
Some negroes, unquestionably with the
intention of causing trouble, have ad-
dressed letter to his excellency, Gov.
Northen, complaining that they were
without food and the mayor would not
supply them. The governor very prop
erly referred the letter to Mayor Steele,
expressing his disbelief of it.
The parties upon being visited by the
mayor confessed having made the appli-
cation, and investigation showed that in
stead of being in want they had funds at
their disposal, thus showing mischiev-
Gus Intention
Al regular council meeting yesterday
afternoon w. T. Wilkins was appointed
commissary steward, much to the relief
OF Dr. Lincoln, who found the duties of
yHe position too arduous, combined with
his other duties.
III is pretty certain that the town will
De able to weather the storm without ap-
piylng Tor aid from the outside world.
