Absence of Mortality Allays the FRIGHT of
Her Citizens.
New Orleans, Sept 16.-There has
been no further change in the fever sit
uation since the official bulletin of the
board of health Tuesday night deolar-
ing five new cases Of yellow fever In
the matter of the five suspicit 5 cases
it was understood that the board Of
health would pay visits again to further
note the condition Of the patients ard to
complete their diagnoses. Numerous
suspected cases are being reported to the
board, but many OF them are known TO
slow no traces Of yellow fever. So
Widespread is the concern in the situa-
tion that it is doubtful if any case Of
fever appears with suspicious circurl-
stances attending it that is is not i'm
rediately brought 90 the attention OF
the board by neighbors. Every case re-
ported is entered and rapidly invest-
gated, and the board is constantly add
ing 10 its staff of inspectors.
The absence Of mortality is having
tendency to strengthen public confidence
in the methods which are being applied
in the treatment Of the cases, and un-
less the disease should suddenly assume
a most malignant form, many people
who had intended to leave town will
probably remain and help fight the bat
tie rather than run the risk and incon-
venience Of travelling through parishes
and counties that are terrorized by the
wild reports of the plague and which are
receiving visitors with shotguns instead
OF open arms. On the streets there is
no semblance Of excitement and what
business there is to transact locally is
going on without interruption. it is
only at the steamer ard ship landings
and at their depots that any evidences
of the effect of the fever here are found.
So many towns are quarantining
against river craft that most of the
boats will have to be withdrawn for the
time being.
Dr. Frederick Loeber, an eminent
physician and head of Touro infirmary
Wednesday reported one case Of yellow
fever in that institution.

forty infuriated men Tuesday night
lynched Lyle Levi, Bert Andrews. Cliff
ford Gordon, William Jenkins and Hiney

thorities. They had been arrested for

the citizens Of the county and the mob
was composed of citizens from Milan
Sunman and other towns. The mob
on horseback entered the town an hour
after midnight and called out Jailor Ke-
nan. who, upon refusing to give up the
keys, was overpowered. The mob soon
pushed its way into the cell rooms and
in their impatience first fired on the
prisoners and then dragged them to a
tree, square from the jail and hung
them up. Andrews and Gordon had al
ready been wounded, having been shot
several times while attempting to rob
store at Correct last Saturday night.

robbery They had failed to give bond,
and were put in Jail Tuesday evening.

both dead from the shots fired by the
mob when taken out of the Jail. The
bandages that were on the wounded
men were found later in the morning
along the street, where they had been
torn off as the men were dragged along.
Lyle Levi was an old soldier and bore
on his face wounds received during the
civil war while fighting for the Union.
None of the lynchers are known. They
all came from a distance, presumably
from the neighborhood of Correct, where

Bones" Continues.
Chicago, Sept 16-Juror Fowler was
so much better Wednesday that the
Luetgert trial was resumed at $3.50
o'clock and "the battle OF the bones"
continued with all the participants feel
ing refreshed after nearly two days
rest.
The defense resumed it's attack on
the states expert testimony. and At
torney Vincent spent nearly two hours
trying TO discountenance Professor
Charles ". Bailey, whose evidence has
been so damaging to the prisoner at the
bar. Surrounded by five experts re-
tained by the defense, who coached him
continually, Mr.. Vincent fired questions
in volleys at the witness, until Judge
Tuthill at last interfered and compelled
the cross-examiner to select another line
of inquiry. Many of the questions were
so thoroughly technical in >heir charac-
ter and choked with polysyllabic terms
that the attorney had to have one of
his scientists pronounce the names. The
frequent consultations between the at
torney and his quintette of coachers
greatly retarded the proceedings and
made progress slow.
by iar tne inoSt important testimony
given at the Luetgert trial Wednesday
was furnished by Professor Dorsey of
the Field Columbian museum in the
afternoon. Professor Dorsey is known
as an expert on bones and he declared
that one Of the pieces of bone exhibited
by the state was not only a portion of
a human skull but was most likely
from its zize-a piece of woman sskull
This piece of alleged skull was taken
from the vat at Luetgert's factory. Ex-
