New Orleans, September 10.-The un- favorable part of the Sunday report Is the unusually large number of deaths. Another distinguished member of the Ro- man Catholic clergy is fin the list. Father L. E. Green of the Jesuit college. He died at 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 1t. The next day he visited a room in the college which had been screened and made ready for emergencies in accordance with the suggestion of Dr. White. and jokingly re- marked 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 trans ferred to the Hotel Dieu. He suffered from other complications, which caused tho 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 Jesu- It's on St. Phillip street.
 There is not 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 discovered fifty seven focus of infection. which had been of some standing. and were unknown except through the secondary infection. The district officers have been especially diligent In thus tracing up infection. and Aa.I- 1A HsRaan au n what threatened to be serious nests in different neighborhoods. A notable in- stance of this is in the Peters avenue neighborhood, which. for time looked bad There has not yet been case re- ported from this neighborhood since Sep tember 1. There are several other in- stances on record where. after finding the original focus in a neighborhood, the in- lection has been eradicated.
 French Market Fumleated.
 This afternoon the famous old French market was fumigated. The building be- ing an open one, and extending for four blocks, from St. Ann street to Ursuline, presented a difficult problem for fumiga- tion. Assistant Surgeon Berry. who Is In command of the infected district, gather ed his forces and with half car load of sulphur started the fumes working. All of the stall-keepers had been noti- fled to remove their perlsnaple drtlcieS from the market. The fumes ascended in a dense cloud into the cavernous domes of the market building and thous- ands of bats and myriads of insects Of all kinds. not to mention flies and mos ouItoes. were killed. The fumes permea- ted the whole neighborhood and could be detected even as far as Rampant street. It is the purpose of the authori- ties to treat other old market buildings in the same way later on.
 Owing to the immense territory covered by the Ninth ward. and the additional work undertaken by treating the St. Bernard parish cases at Stock Landing. near the slaughter house, Dr. White has divided that ward into two divisions. Jordan street below the Ursuline con- vent being the dividing line. An officer to be detailed later will make his head quarters near the barracks.
 Country cases:
 There was little news from the country today. The most important was that from the health officer of La Fourche parish, reporting four cases at La Fourche cross ing, on the opposite side of the Bayou from the two sporadic cases there two or three weeks ago. There were two deaths fin that parish Sunday. one at La Rose and one at Midway, between Cutoff and Leeville.
