Tho qunrantlno sat Hem is still Ineffectual and does not s.eem to restrain the spread of Infection, and tho opinion seems to bo bornj out that yellow fever is not at all contagious but atmospherically infectious. Two lives might havo been saved If any attempt had been made to give the pa tients attention. Early this morning Coroner Lemonler found tho dead body of a man in a house on Burgundy street.

Later in tho day the coroner was called to view tho body of Antonio Barrone. Ho at once diagnosed ithe case as also one of yellow fever. Both of these cases had been absolutely concealed from the au thorities and had died without a doctor being called In to give relief. The llrst case of yellow fever at Baton Rouge was reported today.

Windsor, N. S.,Oct. 18. The complete extent of tho disaster to the town of Windsor was not fully disclosed until this morning. Yesterday tho whole place was black with smoke and fly ing dust and people were so dazed with fenr and excitement that few fully ap preciated the great catastrophe which -f 4- -M- -f -M- -M- -f 4- 4- 4 -f 4-f-H- Ilryanisin the country over is maiiocuvering for position, hoping to get a foothold to make a fight for the control of congress nrxt year and the presidency in 1900. Afraid to show its hand ,'pcnly it relies on trickery, strategem and stealth. The thinr to do in Lackawanna next month is to hury it forever. 4-H-4 444-444 44- 4- 44-444-4 44-4-f 4- 4 had fallen upon them. This morning the fire had pretty well spent Itself nnd the clear bright autumn morning open ed up on a woeful scene. Standing on Ferry Hill, one sees but a stretch of mouldering ruins, dotted here and there with tottering chimneys and walls which onlv serve to remind the spectator of the solid architecture of the town. In nil the lire-swept district only the court house, cu.i im house and Mounce's hotel stand Intact. All the other buildings were swept to the ground as if cut down by enormous batteries. The vaults of the Commer cial bank, the Halifax Banking com pany and the postofflce have wtood the severe test. The People's bank, it Is thought, has not fared so well. Tho door Is somewhat warned und It is feared that papers and valuables havo been destroyed. The bitter cold wlpd which blew all day yesterday still prevails, and unless clothing Is speedily brought Into the town much suffering will result. A PITIFUL SCENE. Most of the people burned out escap ed .with little wearing apparel and the bitter cold makes the suffering Intense. Tho scene this mornlmr- wka pitiful. All through the burned district were groups of people, sadly viewing; the blackened ambers of their homes, or stores. The hone of the people seem ed to have departed In the few brief hours of tho tiro raging yesterday. Conservative estimates place the Insur ance at $5S2,000; not more than thirty per cent, of the loss. This morning's trains from Kentvllle and Halifax brought hundreds ot visitors to the town to view the fire stricken ruins and assist relatives and friends. A car load of provisions and clothing arrived by an early train this morning from Halifax. The town of Truro also sent a car of provisions and clothing. It was thought yesterday that no lives had been lost, but this morning the blackened nnd charred .skeletons of two persons were found near the ruins of a house on St. Anne street. Further Investigation proved them to he the remains of Patrick Kelly and his wife, an aged couple. The skeletons were found about six feet apart, and from their position It Is likely that the poor old man and woman were sleeping quietly In bed when the llames envel oped their dwelling. In the excitement yesterday the Kellys' were not missed. Prospective Cold Hunters. Gloucester, Mass., Oct. IS.
