WORSE THAN ANTICIPATED.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, October D.
To-day's fever record was much worse
than anticipated. There were approXi'
mately forty cases at o'clock and at
that time the days record included seven
deaths.
There is no abatement OF the fever,
and at the same time there Is no appa-
rent disposition of the plague TO grow
any worse. Cool mornings and nights,
with hot days, simply are keeping an
average mark on both deaths and the
number of new cases. Two of the deaths
of to-day occurred before 1 o'clock this
morning. The highest number of fatali-
ties heretofore In a single day has been
nine, and it looked this evening as II
to-day would run a pretty close race
with the worst day of the past.
