New Orleans, Oct. 11.—Ths
weather Is clear and warm. Deaths
49; cases reported 161; total deaths,
8,400; total cases, 11,206.
The board of health in special
meeting to-day, passed a resolution
that a commission of five, including
the president, ho appointed to en-
quire into the cause and origin of
the yellow fevor in Now Orloans and
othor points oi the Sluto of Louisi-
ana, and to suggest to tho Legisla-
lature such moasuros as will tend to
provont tho recurrence of such a ca-
lamity. Dr. Austin wantod Dr C.
B. Whito, for many years prosidont
of tho board of health of New Or-
leans, as umembor of tho commission,
but objections were mado, partly as
to tho right ot the board to appoint
outsiders, and this would bo consid-
ered as an incapacity on tho part of
tho board to grapple with tho ques-
tion. Dr. Tunoy favored a general
commission of scientific men from
all parts ot tho world, as the loeai
commission would not have timo to
ascertain all tho fads beforo the
meeting of the next Legislature.
The president finally appointed Drs.
Tanov, Albrecht, Jones and Austin
as a commission. It is understood
that tiie commission will recommend
the appoiutmonl of a genorul com-
mission by tho Legislature, and to
our repiesentativcs in Congress tho
appointment of a national commis-
sion, with tho necessary funds to go
thoroughly into tho subject.
The death-list includes fifteen un-
derfivo years of ago. Among tho
deaths aro Sistor Mercedes nnd Au-
gustino of tho Convent of Jlorcy,
St. Andrews street; Brother Josopli,
of tho Older of tho Holy Cross, from
Notre Dame, Indiana, and Lebanon
Vaughn, ag d two yours, and a son
ofJ.T. Allcvn, noting manager of
the Western Union Telegraph Of-
fice.

ation reports having 1050 cases of

from furnishing physicians, nurses
and medicine for such sick, subsist-
ence for their families in the aggre-
gate oi five thousand persons liavo
been supplied by tho association.
They claim an average death-rate
of less than five per cent, with all
present patients doing well. They
have accomplished a largo amount
ol good work by sending; doctors,
nurses and medicines into the inter-
ior infected districts, all of which

y0U. I dread to die as all men do,
but 1 have to stand it. I am all
right. No one is to blame but my-
gcll. I bear that my brother is in
the crowd, but Ihopoit is not so.

venge my death. I have taken the
lives of men who hated to die as
bad ms 1 do, but God lias forgiven
me.” , ,
Longl cy tben, with the two priests
knelt down and prayed. He then

and kissed Sheriff Brown on the

He stood on bis foot a second, and

Messrs. Waterman &
Palace Saloon.
This popular resort was thronged
last night. The Denison Cornet
baud, (colored) played several of
tbeir choice selections in front of .the
eatablisliincnt which added to the
attractions of the place. Many
were drawn thither by the grand
raffle for a music-box and pin lor
clock. This establishment, though
one of the youngest in the city has
suddenly become very popular. Tho
proprietors are both popular young
men and know how to make their
place pleasant lor tbeir friends and
patrons. Mr. Bachman behind tha
bar is a most skillful manipulator of
beverages that make the inner man
glad, arid are taken for the stomach's
sake. All in all this is ono of tho
establishments of Denison.
The farewell benefit to Miss
Maud Grul bs at Nolan Hull last
night was not a financial success,
owing to the very short notice that
had been given. In all other re-
spects the entertainment was credit-
able, and we regret exceedingly that
warn of space prevents us from par-
ticularizing as we should likoto do.
With a better notice to the public,
this entertainment would lave boon
the best patronized of all the diver-
sions that our people have ever been
offered. Few enterprises succeed
without sufficient advertising and
amusements cannot ho classed
among those few.
“Better to have been born lucky
