 Is on the dead list, Father Green. of
 the Jesuit College He died at 4
 o'clock this afternoon. after being i'll exactly a week. He was struck with a chill last Sunday, just after delivering
 a lecture. but thought nothing of it.
 The next day he visited room in the college. which had been screened and made ready for emergencies in accord ance with the suggestion of Dr. White, and jokingly remarked to one of his colleagues. that they had the room
 ready now. and only needed the first
 patient. A few hours later he was
 the occupant. He was later transferred
 to the Hotel Dieu. He suffered from other complications. which caused the fatal ending. He was 3S years of age. and a native of England. He had
 been here about two years and was teacher in the branch school conducted
 by the Jesuits on St. Phillip Street.
 There Is not a single Italian name among the other deaths. One occurred in the emergency hospital. one in Algiers and one in the French asylum on St. Ann Street.
 Since the marine hospital service has been in charge, they have dis covered flfty-seven foci of infection which had been of some standing. and were unknown. except through the secondary infection, The district of- flcers have been especially diligent in thus tracing up infection, and this has been the means of checking what
 threatened to be serious nests in diff" ferent neighboShoods. A notable tn- stance of this is in the Peters Avenue neighborhood, which for a time looked bad There has not been a case re-
 ported from this neighborhood since the first of September. There are several other Instances on the record
 where after finding the orignial focus
 in a neighborhood, the infection has
 been eradicated,
 This afternoon the famous old French
 market was fumigated. The building
 being an open one, and extending TOT
 four blocks, from St. Ann Street to
 Ursuline, presented a different problem
 for fumigation. Assistant Surgeon
 Berry who Is in command In the infec- ted district, gathered his forces, and with half carload of sulphur. start ed the fumes working. All of the stall keepers had been notified to remove their perishable articles from the mar ket. The fumes ascended in dense cloud into the cavernous domes of the market buildings, and thousands of bats, and miriads of insects of all kinds, not to mention flies and mosquitoes were killed. The fumes permeated the whole neighborhood, and could be de- tected even as far as Rampant Street it Is the purpose of the authorities to treat other old market buildings in the same way later on. Owing to the immense territory cov- | cred by the ninth ward. and the addi- | tional work undertaken by treating the | St. Bernard parish cases at stock land l inK near the slaughter house, Dr. White l has divided that ward into two divis- Ions, Jordan Street below the Ursulines | convent being the dividing line.
