 A. B. PERSON. 141s St. Marys were two more new cases today.
 New Orelans, Sept. 2S.-The willow fe- yer situation here continues exaspefat- ingly the same. A daily average of eighteen to twenty cases and ths deaths have kept up. But while there is no sign of an epidemical visitation the slow progress of the disease presents obsta- cles daily in the way of the merchant public who are anxious to again resume trade with the surrounding country.
 The record today was not unlike that of many other days in that 1t showed death through sheer neglect of th5 pa- tient. Twenty-one cases up to date have resulted fatally. The facts are in- controvertible that at least half died through neglect or lack of attention. Business is showing feeble signs of re- ward superhuman efforts to secure a modification of the quarantine regula- tions.
 Dr. OlIpHant's trip up the road tomor- row at the invitation of the Southern Pacific company, with vie'w to securing a modification of existing qrlara Ittfr,es,- will settle one way or another whether trade is to stagnate several weeks longer or whether it Is paa'taIly to be resumed lat once. The trip will also settle ehe question of whe ,her or not New Orleans will raise the bar ag;alnlst Galveston and olher Texas points. In the meantime, the Crescent City firids itsslf incapable of shipping pound of freight to the Lone Star State. The result of this, of course, is the throwing our of employ ment of thoul-ands of people here. The railroads and mlanudactories, the big wholesale and redail stores, have all dis- pensed with the services of many of their employees urltsi business again picks up. Now, that iqle force of the senlseleAss shotgun quanaritine is being felt. tine. uheaters more thIan ever are a thermom- eter of the injury being done the city. The hotels have done away with extra help and have cut off mainy of their regular Hands. and every man, w'onian and child Is Ewing with rigid econ-my the condition of affai!s is due erd.irely to the strdt shotgun quaaantines that have been established in the country, when there is no possible chance of an epi- demic here. It is profitable that some ten thousand people hIave left town, but there are still here no fewer than 275.. 900. and then aIhose who were frlghteusd a fortnight ago have come to realize that there is no possible chance for am epi- demsc. In September, 1878 there were between eighty and ninety people dying of yellow fever daily. Today the d-fly average since the beginning of the fe- yer irere is Hardfy one.
 H,h1s was the record Aodayi Two deaths and ID naw canes. These ngures were taken from the books at 6:so o'clock komaeht. There have been total of TIT
