NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 14.-It was learned TO-
day that DR.. Lowell OF st. Charles avenue, who
has tho yellow fever, was never IN attendance
on the st. Claude street cases in this city, as has
been reported. and the Board of Health cannot
trace where he caught the disease, but 1t Is
feared that he treated some one for it who has
not been reported. Tho McGinty case on soniat
street cannot be traced. In regard to the Rey case
| on Esplanadc avenue. the people of Scranton,
where he was said to have got the disease, de-
clare that he merely passed through the town
four weeks ago. Tho fact is that the Board Of
Health can no longer trace back the cases to
the Mississippi coast, as 1t was able to do at first,
and do not know where tho infection prevails.
Tho 6rst cases were all traced to Mississippi.
| The new ones seem to have sprung up in New
| Orleans, and no line of contagion or infection
can DO followed.
A conference of the Board OF Health, city Of
ncials, and Orleans Medical Society was hold
to-day to decide upon the line OF action TO be
pursued in fighting the fever. Several Of tho
wards have perfected auxiliary sanitary associa-
tions. The board determined to continue the
| fight from house to house and block to block II
1t became necessary. A sanitary police officer
will be stationed ut the door Of every infected
house, and no one will DO allowed to leave 1t or
enter it after q case is announced.
A great deal Of discomfort has been caused BY
tho refusal of the Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama towns to allow any money from
New Orleans to be sent there. Now Or
leans is the banking centre for this re-
gion. and the interior parts arc suffering
greatly for money with which to move
tho crops. An arrangement was made to-day
by which money intended for Texas, Louisiana,
and all trans-Mississipp points could be sent
through the United States Treasury at st.
Louis; and for Alabama, Mississippi, and cast
ern Louisiana. through the United States
Treasury at Cincinnati.

The merchants of New Orleans are beginning
to feel the effects of the numerous quarantincs
