 New Orleans, Sept. 24.-Eminent phy- s.clans believe that the work of the board of health is productive of good results and that the fever is not spread ing, but on the contrary is being con- fined to localities. Thus far there have been a few less than 100 cases and fif- teen deaths The death rate is in the
  in 1878, 16 per cent, so that up to the present time the disease is about as vir ulent as it was m the last great epidemic that visited New Orleans.
 One of the sensations of the day was the announcement that the board of health had decided to prosecute Dr. Mon- tuzin for having failed to report case of suspicious fever. In one of the morn ing papers few days ago Dr. Montuzin was quoted as saying that there was Tit tie, if any fever, which he described as contagious or infectious and quite likely to be attended with about the mortality of yellow fever This morning pr. Mon tuzin reported to the board of health th+ case of Miss Dreyfus, who, he said, was suffering with yellow fever. It was not long before the report was re- ceived that the board had to report the death of Miss Dreyfus. An investiga- tion that followed proved that Miss Dreyfus was taksn sick about six days ago and that Dr. Montuzan had failed even to report the case as suspicious. This was the record today: Three deaths and seven new cases.
 Of the new cases that in the Wood family was developed where two cases already existed.
 The case of Miss Mccall is on one of the most prominent avenues of the city. No previous case has appeared on the street.

 Mayor Flower today ordered force of policemen to guard the Beauregard school which a mob made an attempt to burn last night. Only portion of the building was burned and it is stiN possible to use the structure as hos pital for the treatment of yellow fever patients.
 It was shortly after midnight that the mob applied the torch to the school and thereby carried into execution the threat that had been repeatedly made during yesterday evening. When the firsmen arrived on the scene their hose was cut, but the department worked pluckily and with tine. assistance of squad of po- lice succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The burning of the school ore ated intense Indignation here and tine outrags was bitterly deniounced Evfry newspaper in the city in ringing cdfto- rials has pledged itself to support the mayor in whatever action he m ght take to punish the culprits and car.y into ef- feet the ordinances to, establish a vel low fever hospital in the Beaurega ard school house. His honor firmly dennunc- ed the outrage of last night Heisaid that such offenses would do New Orleans mlore harm than all the yellow fever epidemics combined. The question had
