Several eases of yellow fever have ap peared at Memphis. A dispatch dated the 10th Inst., says : The great desire of every one la t leave the city before the fever spreads. The physicians are hope ful as to the future, but the Btampede of the citizens has .almost assumed panic form. There will not be cars enough to night to carry tlw people away. Busi ness is progressing as usual but in a lim ited measure. The board of health this morning, Is sued the following order : To tbe People of the 'City of Memphis : We would say quietly remove your fam ilies to a place of safety until we can at least Bee whether the few cases of yellow fever will assume an epldemlo form. To the people along the lines of the differ ent .routes of travel we eay there can be no possible danger of infection for many days to come. Five new cases were reported this morning and one death, an infant of Judge j. E. It. Ray, of the criminal court, who, together with tuiother son, is prostrated with the disease. A per fect stampede of citizens Is In progress, trains being unable to carry away the hundreds who are willing to leave. "The Flag" Upside Down In Willlamsport. Wiiiasisport, Pa, July 5. Yester day afternoon Superintendent McDon ald, of the Park Hotel, in his haste ac cidentally raised the flag union down. It was peculiarly located, and he did not notice the mistake until Chief Hun ter Caldwall, of the fire department, waited upon him in the afternoon and demanded thai it be properly hvng. The Chief was excited and McDonald to quiet him said he would fix it, but the wind had wound it around the staff and the ropes would not work, so he allow ed it to remain. About 6 o'clock P. M. a general fire alarm was sounded and the entire fire department rushed through the city and stopped at the Park Hotel, when the Chief again sought the Superintendent and told him that he would not allow the flag to be insulted and he must take it down at once. McDonald tried to explain mat ters, but the Chief Insisted upon going upon the roof and reversing the flag. This he was finally allowed to do, but the Mayor suddenly arrived,and sent the firemen home, also sharply reprimand ing the Chief. There were 1,000 people surrounding the building and fears of a riot prevailed. Deaths from Fire Crackers. Several deaths are reported as occur ring on the 4th inst., from fire crackers, but the following is the most distressing case recorded : Late in the afternoon of the Fourth of July one of the small boys of Read ing threw just for fun a lighted fire cracker under the dress of a young girl named Catharine Baker. A bystander was reprimanding the youngster when he saw that the girl's dress had taken fire. She dashed wildly across the street, screaming at the top of her voice for assistance, but before any one reached her she was enveloped in flames from head to foot. The fire was finally smothered with a piece of carpeting, and the unfortunate girl taken to a neighboring house, where the little clothing that remained on her was re moved. In many places the skin was burned to a cinder, and in others, par- ticulary her back and breast, it came off in great flakes. The poor girl suffered terribly until two in the morning, when she died. A Wonderful Fall. New Vouk, July 9. Henry Shin, nine years of age, is in St. Vincent's Hospital suffering from injuries sus tained on Monday, by falling a distance of eighty feet to the street from the roof of a five-story tenement-house in Eliza beth street, near Grand. The lad lives at No. 103 Elizabeth street, one of a row of tenements, and was flying a kite when he fell. Not satisfied with his position, on the roof, he clambered to the top of a chimney on the north wall of the row which overlooks a two-story building adjoining. This building has a slanting roof, cov ered with slates, and is about thirty-five feet in height. On the ground floor there Is un entrance for trucks to pass in to the rear. When Henry lost his balance and fell frwn the chimney top there was a team of horses standing Just outside this entrance facing the street, and attached to a truck within. With a heavy thu4 the boy's body struck the slate roof forty-five feet below, smash ing several elates ami making a per ceptible Indentation. From th spot where he struck lie rolled to the edge of the roof and down toward the pavement, another headlong Journey of 85 feet. The boy struck be tween the heads of the team of horses, fell upon a truck pole and dropped softly to the grovnd. He was sensible when picked up and did not seem frightened. His forehead and the back of his head were cut and his body severely bruised. None of his bones were broken, how ever, and it is thought he has escaped any serious Injury. Terrible Explosion. San Frastcisco, July 10. A dispatch from Bodie says a terrible explosion of a powder magazine occurred near the Old Standard Incline works to-day, which were blown to atoms and every, thing near them leveled to the ground. The summit works, a short distance off, were shattered to pieces. Many were killed, the number not known at this writing. About twenty wounded men have been found thus far. It is not known how many, if any, have been injured in the shaft and underground works. The top of the shaft in the old Incline is now on fire, but can surely be put out. The hills are black with peo ple. James Hickey, foreman of the mines Is Bllghtly hurt. At this time no estimate can be made of the number killed and wounded. Why is It? The house on Forty-second Street, N. Y., where Mrs. Hull was killed, appears to be doomed. The murder has been fa tal to its interests. All the boarders are leaving with their baggage, and the fur niture of the mansion is now being pre pared Tor sale at auction. Dr. Hull will go to Connecticut to live, and the build ing will be left in the hands of Its own er, a pretty badly-damaged piece of prop erty. The owner now talks of tearing it to pieces and refitting it for business. He has tried to lease It for a boarding house at very low terms, the rent being made merely nominal, but the effort is a failure, and it is evident that nothing can be done with the place as a resi dence. Another Severe Storm In Minnesota. St. Paul, Minn., July 7. There was another heavy rain and hail storm, yes terday, which extended over a considera ble portion of the State and damaged the crops in some localities. It was heaviest in the Minnesota valley. In Mankata, the rain flooded the streets and cellars, and washed some buildings away. There was a terrific- hail storm in Meeker and Kandiyohi counties, which affected the wheat, 5,000 acres, It is thought. About two-thirds of this amount Is destroyed. With the excep tion of where the hail fell the crops are not yet damaged by wet, and are lookiug well. A Mysterious Disappearance. SuNnrKY, July 2. On Friday tf last week and elderly gentleman stopped at the Central Hotel at this place, and, as he said, being nervous from traveling, asked the gentlemanly clerk, Mr. John McKee, to register for him. He gave his name as R.S.Ballard, and stated that he was connected with a wholesale drug house at Twelfth end Race streets, Philadelphia. He remained until the following Monday morning, when he left, and nothing has been heard of him since. He left a valuable valise, in which has been found a good suit of clothes. Saved by Her Grip. Mary, the ten-year old daughter of Joel Coggswell, of New Albany, Ind., went to the well to get some water. She toppled over the curb and fell a distance of 35 feet to the bottom. In her descent she caught hold of the rope of the wind lass, holding on to it until she reached the water, which was five feet deep. She clung to the rope, which had run out its full length from the windlass, and thus saved herself from drowning; and then, holding one hand to the rope, she began climbing up the stone curbing, reaching the top In safety, and with few bruises. How It Works. Washington, July 9. A special agent of the post-oftlee department has just arrested in New Mexico, a mail rob ber belonging to a gang of Texas high waymen. The judge granted an order of removal to Texas for trial, but the United States marshal had no money to pay the necessary expenses. He tele graphed to the marshal of Texas, but the latter was in the same condition. The post-office agent thereupon started for Texas with the prisoner, the stage companies carrying him on trust, and the agent providing provisions for an 800 mile journey and guarding the des perado night and day himself. This Is one of the beauties of the fail ure to pass the necessary appropriations for marshals and assistants. A Mysterious Case. Greenfield, Mass., July 8. Great excitement prevails over the supposed murder of Miss Dooley by a tramp who was entertained by the young lady's parents and stopped at the house all night. Miss Dooleywas found dead in her bed, with evidences of foul play. The girl's parents deny that she was murdered, and claim that her death was caused by heart disease. A medical ex amination will be had. Chicago, July 9. An Inter-Ocean Rock Island, 111., special says: "At Edenton, III., this morning, Leo Rob bins shot and instantly killed his sister, aged twenty, and then shot himself, inflicting wounds from which he will not recover. Miss Robblns was engaged to a man named Richards, and was to have been married to-day. Her brother had been trying to prevent the marriage but she refused to break her promise." No little excitement exists In New Albany, Ind., growing out of the poison ing of the waters of Falling run, a creek lying on the north and west side of the city, by the running into the creek of the offal of the colored vats of the woolen mill, coal tar and other offals of the gas works. Many cattle have been poisoned and killed by drinking the water from this creek, and the council is to be asked for action to abate the dangerous nui sance at its next meeting. Muscatine, Iowa, July 9. Wm. Teets, a well known and respected far mer living ten miles southeast of this city, was murdered yesterday afternoon with a club in the hands of Wm. Pick ering. The act seems to have been caused by family troubles. The mur dered man Teets was a son-in-law of Mrs. Diekerson, a widow who employed Pickering as a farm hand on her estate, and between whom improper intimacy has been charged. Pickering has not yet been captured. Struck by Lightning. Meadville, Pa., July 8. This morn ing, during a heavy thunder-storm, a barn near this city was struck by light ning, and Jacob Huber and wife, who were taking shelter therein, knocked senseless to the grouud. Mrs. Huber's neck and back were badly burned, and her condition is critical. C3 A Lancaster county, Neb., school house was struck by lightning last week. The lightning struck the chimney and scattered among the pupils, killing one outright, named Susie Babcock. Out of eighteen pupils, twelve were injured seriously. The east end of the house was torn off and the chimney reduced to smithereens. Miscellaneous News Items. tSTwo desperadoes, who had murdered a man for his mule, were taken from jail at Denver, Col., last Saturday by one hun dred citizens and hanged. Meadville, Pa., July 8. Samuel Best, aged about 05 years, while driving near Shaw's landing last evening, was fatally injured by his horse running away and throwing him out. One foot was taken off, a leg broken, and his head badly bruised. At the last account be wag still living. tW There is great excitement at Au Sable, Mich., about a wholesale milk poisoning affair. On the 23rd ult., thirty five persons were poisoned by using milk sold by one dealer. No case has proven fatal, though some of the patients are very sick. AU will doubtless recover if properly cared for. S3J A bridegroom at O rinnel, Iowa, received a cigar by mail, accompanied by the written assurance that it would be found of an uncommonly good flavor. The bride recognized the handwriting as that of a rejected suitor, and unrolled the cigar, to find several grains of strychnine in the end that the smoker would bite off. Philadelphia, July 7. This evening Michael Lannigan, alias Franklin, upon re turning to his house, No. 423 Callowhill street, found Louise Franklin, with whom he had lived, intoxicated and talking about him. lie became angry aud struck her in the face with his open hand. She fell to tbe floor and expired in a few minutes. It is thought death resulted from apoplexy. Lannigan was arrested. t3T" Marvin Banning, before dying at Uadlyme, Conn., told where $3,000 could be found hidden in a bag of butternuts, and that bonds to an equal amount were buried in a cellar. He was seventy-four, and for many years had deprived himself of euflicient food and fire, llis solo diet was salt pork and coarse bread, and be lived by himself. His property goes to a needy sister. tSf Tbe inhabitants of East Nantmeal and Warwick townships, Chester county, are considerably excited over the appear ance in their midst of au auimal that is variously described as a wolf, a ferocious dog, and a large gray fox. It has made great Inroads In the flocks of sheep, lambs and fowls of the nelghborhood.and mothers are on the qul-vlve lest some ' of their oiiiidron shall fall victims to tbe unknown beast. K Mr. Lillla Witheiiland a neighbor and relative named Brown, were killed by lightning, near the village of Clalrmont, Dodge county Minn. They were standing In the doorway of a granary, when the lightning struck the peak of the building, and followed down the centre poBt until it met the cross-piece above tbe doorway, where It divided and descended upon tbe men leaning against the side of the door frame. Richmohd, Va , July 8. Miss Lou Ball ing, daughter of Colonel Thomas Balling, of this city, died this evening from the effects of burns received last night by her dress catching Are from a pieoe of burning paper thrown by her on tbe floor of her chamber after lighting tbe gas. Miss Ball ing was one of the leading belles of Rich mond society and her sad death causes great sympathy in the community. t3PA young man named Itisser, who only a few months ago was on trial at Lebanon for the murder of a farmer named Miller, is now preaching In the backwoods of Lebanon county. He has become very devout, and is said to preach with a whole-souled earnestness sometimes wanting in a trained theologian. Risser rarely, if ever, visits tbe vicinity of the Miller murder, although he 1b known as an itinerant proacher in all the neighboring counties. EJfMias Copple, daughter of Jacob Cop pie, of Douglass township, Berks co, who was so severely Injured on last Saturday a week by a lightning stroke, is recovering. On Wednesday she was able to bo out and take a ride in a carriage. Her escape from instant death was most miraculous. The bolt struck Miss Copple on the shoulder, and thence ran down to her feet, prostra ting her and Injuring her so severely that when she was taken up It was supposed life was extent. She remained insensible some time. Dr. J. II. Ileatb, wife and child, and Mrs. Allen, of West Point, Ind., were poisoned a few days ago, and for a while it was thought that they would die. They are nil better except Mrs. Allen, who is still in a critical condition. At first it was thought that eating colored candy was what caused tbe trouble, but it has since been ascertained that other persons ate of tbe candy and suffered no inconvenience whatever. The supposition now is that a tramp, who had been refused breakfast, placed poison somewhere perhaps in the well and thus poisoned an entire family. St. Louis, July 7. Mrs. John Bandy, wife of the Proprietor of the Union Depot Hotel, this evening shot Leonard Offerman, late proprietor of the Tivoli Hotel. Offer man and Bandy married sisters. Their mother lived for a time in Offerman's fam ily, and Mrs. Bandy says that she learned this afternoon of his outrageous treatment of the old lady, and that she shot him for it. One bullet shattered his right arm, the other passed in at tbe mouth and burled itself beyoud the reach of the probe. Offerman is still alive but In a critical con dition. Lancaster, July 9. This morning as Mr. Jacob Baker, of Chestnut Hill, was coming to market, and when at a point near Funk's lane, his horse scared at a man who was walking along the road and jump ed into the summer road, upsetting the carriage and breaking the top off, aud also a spring. Mr. Baker was severely hurt about the hips and shoulders, and Mrs. Baker was badly cut on tbe forehead. They were brought to the Sorrel Horse hotel, this city, where their injuries were attended to. Tbe horse was cut on a hind leg very severely, a gash showing the bone, being in the fleshy part of the leg, and perhaps soyering a sinew, as he walked with difficulty. -Elmiba, N. Y., July 7. Wm. Coyden- ball, an apprentice in tbe "Advertiser" composing room, to-night fell from the third floor to the press-room in tbe base ment, a distance of about sixty feet. lie and tbe foreman had a- newspaper form in hand to send down to the pressman, and supposing that the elevator was up, as us ual, Coydenhall stepped backward into the opening. He struck on bis head and shoul deis upon tho cross-bar of the elevator in the basement, where he hung with his legs entangled iu two heavy wiie cables. His skull was fractured, his right arm broken at the wrist and he sustained severe inter nal injuries, and will undoubtedly die. Coydenhall is eighteen years of age. The foreman barely escaped falling through the hatchway. EST A patent-right swindler lately tried the promissory-note dodge on Johu Wil- meyer, of Upper Berks, but he was well posted. So, after the fellow had been well drawn on, John called in his two big sons, and together they carried the patent-right man to the borne trough iu the back yard, where they baptized him. Then they gave him a number of kicks apiece, put tbe dogs on bim, one of which tore off a large patch of his pantaloons, aud so ohoeTed him 'on his way. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, July 9, 1970. Tbere Is calm in Washington after the dis appearance of Congress. Thorels no talk of revolution, nullification or starving the govern. tnent. Even the Fourth of July did not make an excitement In the streets. There Is general pleasure expressed at the unanimous vote by which a monument was authorized at the place of Washington's birth, and means provided for going on with the Washington monument. I am not a prophet, but venture to predict that we will have a much quieter session of Congress next winter than that Just closed. The " Port" of this morning, which ought to know better, and probably does, repeats the old etory that Secretary McCrary, if nominated to a U. 8. Judgeship will be rejected by the- Senate. I don't believe five Benators would vote against bin confirmation. It is said at the War Department though the War Department regrets It that twelve or fifteen of the thirty-five vacancies in the grade or Second Lieutenant In the army will be ailed from civil life. Some, also, ought to be filled by promotions from the ranks. The French or English private soldier baa a far better chance of promotion from the ranks than a private soldier here. Testerday the President signed the Commis sions of members of the Mississippi River Commission, and It Is supposed that their work will bo commenced at once. The money to carry out Improvements suggested by then will be cheerfully voted, for people generally have confidence in the men who have been ap pointed and confirmed. j The sailing of tho Tacht Jeannette from Ban Francisco yesterday, on a voyage to the North Pole, Is a notable event. The expedition has the sanction of the U. S. Government, but Is wholly at the expense of a private citizen. It goes out, better equipped than any previous expedition and with the vast advantage of an accurate knowledge of all that has taken place In Arctic exploration In the past. Frederick A. Aber the well-known naturalist, who has spent the past two years in the French West India Islands In behalf of the Smithson ian Institute, Is now engaged at his home In Beverly, Mass., in preparing a full and elabo rate report of his explorations among those Islands which promises to be exceedingly In teresting.
