New Orleans. Aug lit Though
the number of deaths from yellow
fever exceed» those of each of the
past two days the total was so small
in comparison with years when real
epidemics prevailed that the situa-
tion continues to be regarded as in-
finitely more bright and hopeful than
a month ago. when it first became
known that yellow fever had taken
a firm «rip in one of the most thick-
ly populated sections of the city. At
that time notwithstanding repeated j
warnings no step had been taken to
profit by the example set by Havana
and long before in spite of the ap-
peal of the New Orleans Medical so-
ciety the city council had refused to i
pass Dr. Kohnke s mosquito ordin- ι
atice. which would have caused land- 1
lords to screen their cisterns and ι
thus have largely restricted the I
breeding ground of the etegomyia. ι
Advices from the Mississippi coast ι
do not at present indicate any lnten- <

Portsmouth Ν Η . Aug. 19.—
ïîack pessimism reigns at Ports-

of Commissioner C. W. Orr who rep-
Mr. Orr s resignation was filed yes-
Mr. Oorr's resignation was filed ye -
terday. Mr. Orr made a faithful and
efficient member of the board and
his resignation was accepted with
considerable reluctance. Hi.-; retire-
ment from the board becomes effect-
ive August 28.
The vacancy on the board caused
by Mr. Orr's resignation will be filled
by appointment same to be made by
County Judge Hawkins. The matter
of selecting a successor to Air. Orr
has not yet received any considera-
tion but it is probable that a Milford
man will be selected to fill out the
unexpired term. There will no
doubt be several applicants for the
place but inasmuch as Mr. Orr wa.-;
elected from Milford Judge Hawkins
is of the opinion that it would b«> no ί
more than right to select his nut-re*- !
sor from that town or community.
Mr. Orr's report for the past quar- j
ter was not filed until yesterday* af-
ternoon. The report shows that he
wag on the road 4 4 days and built
1225 feet of bridges. This included
the repairing of the steel bridge at
Maypearl. · He bought during the
quarter $1533.90 worth of I titube·
He reported the road» in his precinct
in fairly good condition tonsiderinsi
the excessive rains during the spring.
He complained of the farmers drain-
ing the water from their farms into
the public roads.
The trustees of school district 7β
were authorized to sell the old school
building and applv the proceeds to
building a new house The deed to
a lot was accepted from J. H. Smith.
Divorce and Partition.
A suit for divorce and partition
of community property was filed in
the district court this morning by
Mrs. Lucinda Hail against J. S Hail.
Plaintiff alleges in her petition that
she was married fo defendant in
Alabama on or about December 2-
1884 and that they continued to
live together as husband and wife
iintil about June 10. 1905. when
plaintiff was abandoned by defend-
jnt. Plaintiff also alleges that she
was always mindful of her duties as
ι wife but that defendant subject-
ed li»>r to a course of cruel treatment.
