MEMPHIS. Tenn. Aug. 5.--Memphis. by
unanimous vote OF I ne lily COUNCIL, aC
special meeting this afternoon, declared
quarantine against the world. Every inlet
to the city will be placed under guard at
once and no outsiders can enter without
special permission Of the local board Of
health.

as strict as 1t should be, and this sentiment
gradually communicated itself to citizens
here. This, and the fact that the fever
at New Orleans Is rather gaining than
losing strength created a feeling Of ner-
vousness. The action Of the Council Is in
dorsed by practically al classes. By Mon;
