Burns allowed Rowan to run into his ell
bow and Referee Chris Eahler eau
toned him. In the twelfth round Burns
cut Rowan over the eye with his elbow and
the police stopped the fight. The referee

DEATHS IN THE CRESCENT CITY.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct 22-The fever sit
uation hero is as tickle as a weather vane.
For two or three days the new cases and
deaths will run to alarming figures. On
following days both cases and deaths viii
drop and the impression be given that high
water mark has been reached and that the
disease is on the wane. Then there will be
another jump. The situation yesterday was
extremely encouraging. Tonight at 8
o'clock the cases had reached fifty and
there had been no fewer than five deaths,
of which one was that of a distinguished
citizen, Rev. DR.. Purser, of the Valence-
street Baptist Church. DR.. Purser was from
Mississippi and was a gallant soldier dur
ing the war. Five or six years ago he came
to New Orleans and became the pastor of
leading uptown church. His brother is
also minister here and a second broth
er is a theological student.
Three cases developed to-day in the
Asylum for Destitute orphan Boys and it
seems now as if every institution of this
character in the city will be infected to
some extent before the disease is stamped
out. Eight or more have already reported
cases. The list of new cases have been
swelled by three in the home of State SEN
ator Cage. Mr. Cage was taken sick few
days ago. His wife, who nursed him, was
stricken to-day, as were relative and
servant. Several cases to-day appear in
houses that were previously infected.
There have been rumors of frost in the
outlying country. Captain Kerham, of the
Weather bureau, says however, that the
temperature in Louisiana has been entirely
too high for frost and that none need be
expected until November.
