New Orleans, Oct 19.LThis was the /! record-smasher in the number of deaths in a single day from yellow fever since the sicknes was first reported in New Orleans It is difficult to find the cause, except in the fact that concea1ment neg feet and rebellion against the authority of the board of health have made 1t dif- ficult for the physicians to give proper attention to cases. At o'clock this evening there had been nine fatalities reported during the twenty-four hours. Heretofore the highest number of deaths in any one day has been six.
 At the board of health meeting tonight there was scrne discussion among the physicians as to whether the disease had assumed suddenly a moro vHulent form or whether an aggregation of circum- stances had sent up the list of deaths. The physicians do not believe that the disease has become more malignant in type. They believe that on some days there have been four or five deaths, on succeeding days none and then four or five again, goes to prove that the disease has an eccentric movement.
 Deaths are occurring among the b; t. ter class of people. Edward c. Day, agied 16, lived with his mother, who kept fashionable boarding house on Prey tonia street Another death was that of Antonio Corovaja, the superintendent of a large steamship line running between this point and Palermo. He was a na- tive of Italy, and since the fever ap- peared had been active among his countrymen. On the tenth of the month Dr. Torment was called to see him. He had then been sick for three days. Two deaths occurred today in the Touro in- firmay, but had been received there from other places in the city. A death was also reported at the Isolation hospital. One of the deaths in today's record oc- cured about 10 o'clock last night after the close of yesterdays bulletin. The others were reported at different hours today.
 Among the new cases the most promi- nent is that of Hunter c. Leak, general agent of the Illinois Central road. Mrs. Leak was stricken two days ago, and hsr husband must have taken the disease from close attendance upon her. Dr. Spruell is also among the cases reported. Three cases is the list today developed at the Charity hospital, one coming 1, sram AIgiers and the other two from the lower section of the city. All three were removed to the Isolation hospital.
