A crowded excursion train on the

GRADUAL INCREASE in DEATHS
AND NEW CASES OF FEVER
r., AT NEW ORLEANS.
RAILROAD TRAFFIC SERIOUSLY
INTERRUPTED BY MEAS
UREs IN FORCE.

New Orleans, Aug. 5.-The report
to the board of health of four deaths
and seventeen new cases of yellow
fever in this city up to noon seemed
to presage a considerable increase
over the previous days, report, which
four hours during the present invasion
of the plague. In the natural order Of
things the deaths must increase with
such a large number of new cases
and a large death list is therefore but
q sequence, the reports of new cases
being the indicator of the progress Of
the disease. .....-. .sze,
No reports of new cases or deaths
anywhere in the South outside of New
Orleans have been received and the
assertion seems warranted that the
authorities in those widely scattered
localities outside of New Orleans
which have found sporadic cases have
the situation we'll in hand.
Outside of the fever itself the con-
ditions brought about by the strict
guarantees are serious and are felt
in every line of commercial life. The
railroads are badly handicapped and
In many instances are unable to move
passengers, the mails or freight. The
Southern Pacific railroad has its en-
tire service on the main line discon-
| tinued because one parish in Louis
lana refused to permit trains of any
kind to pass through, night or day.
Train service on the Louisville and
Nashville and other railroads is also
disturbed.
Though the armed forces of Missis-
| sippi and Louisiana have been in
touch for twelve hours no reports of a
sanguinary collision have reached
here from the Rigolets. The situa-
ton is not regarded as acute.

GENERALIZATION SUSPECTED.
Experts Will inspect Real Estate
Holdings Of Equitable Life.


Holdings Of Equitable Life.
New York, Aug. 5.-Two experts
have been appointed by President
Paul Morton to value every piece of
real estate in which the Equitable
Life Assurance society has an inter
est, says the Tribune. He is stated
to have taken this action when he re-
ceived the reports of expert account
ants. These reports. it is alleged, in
dicate the possibility of generalization.
The society owns in this country and
abroad real estate valued at approx
mately ss6,O0O,00O. According to the
Tribune it is thought possible that
this amount will have to be reduced,
while the valuation on parcels on
which loans are outstanding may
have to be reduced by at least 10 per
cent. The last report to the state
insurance department gave the value
Of real estate owned by the society at
s36.S95.647.

is centered, but much of his own time
is spent On the road. The order has
100000 in it's treasury. All but the
insurance fund of $12S,OOO is available
for strike purposes, he says.
Although the year-old strike on the
M. K. T. system, which he managed

men, President Perham asserts that
the end is not yet and that the order
will win. Railroads exist to earn

RAILROAD TRAFFIC STOPPED.
Extreme Measures Taken to Guard
Against Yellow Fever.

New Orleans, Aug. 5.-Extreme
measures which some of the country
districts are taking to guard them
selves from yellow fever threatens to
put a stop to train service and may
bring the federal government into the
fever situation in the South. The
most radical action thus far taken is
that of the police jury of Calcasieu,
the second largest parish in the state.
1t has passed resolutions ordering
that all traffic, travel and intercourse
between Calcasieu and points east.
north and west shall cease at once
and that no one shall be permitted to
enter the limits of the parish until
further orders. In consequence of
this resolution the Southern Pacific
has been ordered to run no more
trains through Calcasieu. which means
an abandonment of the through serv-
ice of the line to the West The Wat
kins trains and the Kansas City
Southern trains have also been
stopped. 1t is understood that the
quarantine in day or two will be ex-
tended to all freight trains. The eff
feet of the orders is to stop all mail
service into or through Calcasieu.
Radical Precautions General.
Rapidas has shut her doors to
everything except mail and fuel oil.
At Mermenteau, La, shots were ex-
changed between guards and a negro
who was trying to run the quarantine.
Grant parish has instituted a shotgun
quarantine, stopped all trains and
shut herself off completely from mail
service. Lafayette, La, has issued Or
ders that only mail and disinfected
freight shall come into that parish.
Tensas parish has quarantined all
passengers, baggage, household goods.
fruit and fabrics. Precautions as rad
ical as these have been taken in many
other sections of the South and there
is apparently as great a panic now
prevailing as at any time during 1897,
the bulk of the country laymen refus-
ing to put their faith in the mosquito
theory.
Although the report of fifty-four
new cases in the preceding twenty
four hours would ordinarily have
tendency to cause alarm here people
find assurance in the analysis of the
detailed report made by the board OF
health. 1t is shown that of the fifty
four new cases twenty-nine were root
ed out of concealment by Surgeon
Richardson of the Marine hospital
service and his assistants. The area
of infection is increasing below Canal
street, but the disease is making fee
