More Serious Than at First Re-
ported.

The dispatch to the Governor from Presi-
dent Craighead as published yesterday was
evidently interded to counteract the effects
of reports as to fever existing at Glen son.
The facts appear TO be, however, much more
serious than the public has been made aware
Of. Though the fever is called malarial every
Indication appears 10 be that it is typhoid
fever.
In the telegraphic, dispatches this morning
is published the death of a studeat at the
college from the disease
Thursday afternoon there were several of
the students who passed through the city on
their way home. They were getting away
from the fever, as they said. Two of them,
living in the eastern part of the State, who
had but little money, took the .raiu as far
as their money would carry them, and that
wasn't far Before their tickets were ort
Colonel Neal dropped into conversation with
them. They told him that there were 8!
least ninety students sick with fever, and that
the doctor ssid it was caused from blowing
up some lowlands near the college, which
engeudered mslarial fever The boys them.
selves didn Tsnt TO run any risk and took
the 6rst train for home, or as far as their
money would carry them. Not having
enough to get home Col. Neal kindly and
generously paid their way.
