Three Deaths and Eight New Cases.
A Physician to BE Prosecuted.
New Orleans, Sept. 24.-Eminent physi-
clans believe that the work of the board
Of health is productive of good results,
and that the fever is not spreading, but,
on the contrary, is being confined to To-
calltes Thus far there have been few
less than 100 cases and fifteen deaths.
The death rate is in the neighborhood
Of Is per cent, while in 1894 it was 16 per
cent; so that up to the present time the
disease is about as virulent as it was In
the last great epidemic that visited New
Orleans
One of the sensations of the day was
the announcement that the board OF
health had decided to prosecute Dr. Mon
luzin for having failed to report case
Of suspicious fever. In one of the morn
ing papers, few days ago, DR.. Mon
luzin was quoted as saying that there
was little, if any fever, in New Orleans,
and that the prevailing sickness was
Burmah, CT sun fever, which he described
as contagious or infectious, and quite like
ly to be attended with about the NOR
tality of yellow fever. This morning DR..
Monluzin reported to the board of health
the case of Miss Dreyfous, who, he said,
was suffering with yellow fever. 1t was
not long before the report was received
that the board had to report the death of
Miss Dreyfous. An investigation proved
that Miss Dreyfous was taken sick about
six days ago and that DIR. Monluzin had
failed even to report the case as sus-
picious
This was the record to-day:
