BAD DAY IN NEW ORLEANS.
Wednesday Proved n Record Breaker in
New Cases and Deaths.

New Cases and Deaths.
A New Orleans special says: Even
as early as 6 o'clock Wednesday after
noon the day had proved a record
breaker both as 10 the number of cases
and as TO the number OF deaths that
had been reported, The increase Of
cases was not unexpected, there being
forty-six. Five deaths were recorded.
The weather had been warm, during
the afternoon especially, and the large
territory the board of health has to
cover makes perfect scrutiny impossi-
bic, and germs are being distributed
which, if the totality Of cases was
fewer. would easily be restrained.

FloridG's orange crop for lS97.9S
will soon be- going forward To- market,
and good many estimates are being
made as to whit the crop in the state
will figure up.
Last season il amounted To- about
l2j. 900 boxes. That was the first
years fruit after the freeze, and the
crop was accordingly very small, cs-
pccially when 1t is recollcctcd that the
product Of the state lad been num-
bcred in millions rather than in
thousands of boxes.
\ careful estimate made by gentle
man IN the city, who IL well informed
rs 10 the crop throughout the state,
places it in round numbers ut about
2OO, 900 boxes. 1t is believed that
these figures ARE conservatives, and
that the cropwill go above rather than
below the figures named The gentle
man making them is conservative in
all things, however, and does not like
to count on improhabilitics. He has
made his estimate Of the number Of
boxes in the several counties in the
Statp rs follows.
