45 DEAD and 1855 CASES
YELLOW FEVER TAKING EPl-
pEMIC FORM AT NEW ORLEANS.
GORDON DRAWN AROUND CITY
Health Officials Pope to Restrict In
fection-Marine Hospital Service
Investigating Suspicious Case in
Northern Louisiana.

New Orleans, July 27.-SiX more
deaths from yellow fever were re.
corded, making a total to date of for
ty-fve. The number of new cases re-
ported is eleven, making all told to
date 165. There are now nineteen
foci of infection. The organization OF
forces for fighting the spread of the
infection and for campaign OF educa-
tion and practical application Of the
mosquito eXterminatiOn plaNS has
been completed, and besides 100 men
put on as extras to clean cutters by
the city, $50 men are working as part
of the system of sanitation. Citizens
are being organized in wards and
these ward clubs will form precinct
clubs, and a house to house canvass
will be made to assure the screening
of every cistern and the Oiling of
every cesspool and water pond.
Yielding to the sentiment of the
community, the state board OF health
adopted new regulations for the fruit
ships, providing they should remain
six days at sea between the last port
and New Orleans, and requiring fumi-
CATION at port of departure and fumi-
cation here after the discharge of the
cargo. The people are convinced that
the infection was brought by the fruit
steamers and if it became necessary
to make the regulations so stringent
as to drive them away, in the present
feeling such regulations would be en-.
forced. On all sides there is a senti.
ment that nothing shall stand in the
way of future immunity from mos
quito fever, as it is called now.
The officials of the marine hospital
service are investigating reported
suspicious case of fever which is
said to have developed on the line
of the Texas Pacific railroad about
seventy-five miles from New Orleans
In view of the many quarantine com
plications which have arisen, Dr
Souchon has called a conference here
next Sunday of the health officers OF
Texas, Mississippi and Alabama to
discuss quarantine regulations and de-
wise a system by which travellers can
be admitted with certificates Of ma
rins hospital ser ice.

In the reports from the various com

As yet no reports have come in from
the Philinnines. The number Of deser-

as IN the United States.
This is easily accounted for by the
fact that there is no Indueement to run

This cannon ball is nearly a hundred
years old, and was taken from The foun-

Before the Colorado building was
erected, the Foundry Methodist Church
occupied the corner OF Fourteenth and
G streets northwest. At the beginning
Of the nineteenth century. when Wash

foundry was operated on this corner. The

balls OF all kinds and weights. The
building which was recently destroyed
was erected about ninety-six years ago,
ana was the only building in the block
II is believed that the cannon bail was
placed in the walls as a cornerstone
The house was occupied, it is said, by
the superintendent of the foundry. and
he doubtless conceived the idea of plac-
ing the cannon ball in the foundation.
Another interesting souvenir in Mr..
Ashford's possession, and one which he
keeps on his desk, is a massive key.
used by the late w W. corcoran in
opening ana locking his vault in the an

key is nearly a century OLD. About two
years ago, when the old bank building
was torn down to make way for the
present structure. this key was found
under the floor. where it is supposed to
have been lost.
In the same building another valuable
antique was found Down in the south
east corner of the building the workmen
came across d one-half cent piece bear
ing the date of 1S04. It is doubtful If
there are more than a half dozen coins
like this In existence. and Mr.. Ashford
