SUSPICIOUS CASE At GRAPELAND

NeW orleans, Oct. S.-Ioday was q
record breaker here. AS early as 6
O'Clock as many cases had been reported
as on Wednesday when the fever for
the time reached high-water mark
forty-six cases. At the same hour there
had been some FIVE deaths reported
with a couple of patients in very
critical condition. The weather yester-
day and today has been warm There
has been difficulty in restraining inter-
course between infected houses and the
non-infected public, and the germs have
had every opportunity to spread.
As usual the deaths are among those
who had little or no attention, and at
least three of the fatalities are among
the Italian population. Mrs. Spannio
was reported to the board when there
was little chance of saving her life.
Her case had been neglected and when
the board was notified it was foregone
conclusion that her name would be
ult','H tely added to the list of deaths.
.Ae Cipro case was practically dead
when the doctors learned that he had
reported the sanitary officers were rush
ed to Annunciation street to quaran-
tine the house in which the patient
was. They had hardly gotten there
when the mans death was announced
by telephone to the board of health.
A precisely similar case was that Of
G. Ferio A telephone message reached
the board of health Office this afternoon
that Ferio on Decatur street, had been
stricken. A couple of sanitary officers
with flag jumped into a street car and
started for the scene. They had not
reached the house before the man was
dead.
The worst case of the day, however,
was that of Elijah Parks, living on
Custom House street. Parks Is Grand
Army of the Republic man, and native
of Greenyille. \. c., 56 years old, with
, wife and two children. lie had been
in failing health for year and his case
had become serious yesterday. Last
night he died and his death notice ap-
peared in the morning papers. FRIENDS
attended to the preparation OF the
corpse for burial and wake was held
last night Early this morning news
reached the board of health that the
case was suggestive of yellow fever.
An expert was at once sent TO the
scene. His experienced eye enabled MIN
Immediately to diagnose the case as one
of va,,ow fever. OF course ali who
handled the body will not be found ana
it is fair to assume the FEVER Will
spread.
