New Orleans, September 13.-New
Orleans caught it's second breath this
morning and the breeze of excitement
that prevailed yesterday has subsidized.
At first there was disposition to
leave town. but when people summed
up matters. and found there were only
seven imported cases here and that
they had been warned as to six of
them, they decided to wait until the
situation should become more aggra
waited before making break for other
parts There was therefore no heavy
outgoing travel and very little incom-
ing. A few passengers who arrived
from the East yesterday evening miss
ed connection with the Southern Paci-
fic train and lad to lay over here.
They have had to provide themselves
with health certificates, and are prob
ably destined to meet with considerable
trouble if they attempt to get off in
Texas, which has declared a rigid
quarantine against New Orleans.
The natives here have, contrary to
expectations, not become frightened
over the existence of yellow, and what
ever depression exists is due to the
fact that business, which was 35 per
cent. above the corresponding month
of last year, has received a setback
as result of the general institution of
quarantine measures against this city.
Nevertheless there We're the usual Sun
day throngs at the parks, where con-
certs were given and theatres played
to standing room only.
Those who expected to wake I'D this
morning and learn Of new cases of vel
low fever were disappointed The at
taches of the board of health announc-
ed that there had been no change in
the situation since last night There
were still only seven cases, as re-
ported in the official bulletin issued
last night. None has proved fatal, and
the bulletins this morning from in
fected quarters were of a favorable ma
ture. Many prominent physicians be-
lieve that if isolated cases continue to
appear in the city it is quite possible
to conf1ne them and make their vicin-
1ty proof against infection, as has been
done in st. Claude street.
The heavy storm that prevailed yes
terday checked the work at the camn
Of FnntafnhIeau Today is clear how
ever, and Supt. Marshall and the gov
eminent are pushing things to com
pletion. Advices here are to the eff
feet that most of the New Orleans col
ony at the springs will take advantage
of the opportunity presented to them
Of getting back to the city after put
ting up with the government for few
days.
One Of the fresh cases of yellow fe-
yer reported by DR.. Shannon yester-
day, at Ocean Springs, proves to be
Miss Goodrich, of New Orleans,
niece Of the lady who nursed' Miss
Schultze, the st. Louis lady, who died
of the yellow fever.
1t DEVELOPS to-day that the yellow
fever at Barley, Miss, was imported
from Ocean Springs. Mrs. Sanders.
who was from Amsterdam, N. Y, died
in Ocean Springs. and her body was
taken to Barley in wagon. Soon af-
ter her husband and son died at Bark
ley Of the disease, together with two
other persons, and other deaths are
expected 1t is daily becoming evil
dent, therefore, that the first case of
yellow fever originated in Ocean
Springs and that all other points have
caught the infection from these.
Every case has been traced back to
that city.
Superintendent Dunn and General
Agent Leake, Of the Illinois Central,
who made tour Of Mississippi with
Drs. Hunters and Quinn, of the Mis-
sissippi Board of Health, returned to
their city in their special car this
morning. The results of their person
