YELLOW FEVER.

New Orleans, September 24.-Emi-

the Board of Health is productive OF

spreading, but on the contrary is being
confined TO local territory. Thus far
there have been a few less than 100

San Francisco, September 24.-The
announcement that Mrs. Lille Lang
try will marry Prince Esterhazy is con-
firmed. Attorney Henry c. McPike, Of
this city, is authority for the announce
ment, which is to be taken in connec-
ton with the statements persistently
and repeatedly published since she Sc
cured her divorce in May last. LAS to
Mrs. Langtry's prospective marriage to
this distinguished head of an ancient
house, l have recently received" said
Mr.. McPike, from my client, Mrs.
Langtry, notice of her intention to re-
turn to California by the end of No
vember. Prince Esterhazy will accom-
pany her, and Immediately upon ar
rival here they will be married in
Lake county, l presume, for her home
is there.
Because they have preferred to be
married in this State it must not be
argued that either Mrs. Langtry or
Prince Esterhazy regards the former 5
divorce as lacking in legality in any
other jurisdiction. On the contrary
they are advised by their solicitors in
London that the decree granted at
Lake Port has freed her absolutely
from Edward Langtry, so that she may
marry IN any part of the world if She
