No important business*was transacted this morning—only a few motions andentri: made. Recel’ c Refused. Mr. John McGaffey appeared before Judge Thayer this morning and asked that a receiver be appointed to take charge of the property of the St. Louis Gas Consumers’ Association. die said a judgment of $2,000 had been rendered aginst the association that it could not pay. its effects consist of about 300 ‘‘ma- ines,’’ scattered over the city, and an in- come of from $175 to$250a month. Mr. Mce- Gaffey said the association and the creditors had agrecd that it was best a receiver, and the creditors were @speciaily anxious, inasmuch as the assets were s0 much scattered thatit would be difii- #uilt to make their money by levy. The Judge did not take well to the idea, and gaid he bad never heard of a receiver being Aner to pay the debts of a corporation in case of an insolvent insurance com- pany.

NEW YORK, July 30.—Steward Wells, of the steamer Niagara, plying between this port and Havana, died in the latter port yesterday of yellow fever. DISCHARGED. All Memphis refugees sent to Quarantine last week have been discharged. SCARLET FEVER. Prof. Chandler, of the Health Board, says scarlet fever caused more deaths in New York State last year than yellow fever did in the South and yet failed to excite public apprehension or to make people ordinarily carefulto prevent ine fection. THE FREAK OF A PATIENT. A. F. Reith, barber on the steamer Sara- toga, while in a delirium at Quarantine, sprang up in his bed, and seizing the long side whiskers of Williams, the hospital steward and nurse, tore out a great handful by the roots. Williams was recently left a fortune of $20,000 in England, but he refuses to abandon the work of nursing yellow fever pa- tients in Quarantine. The True Origin of the Fever. (From the Memphis Avalanche. ; The true reason of the present outbreak of yellow fever lies not so much in the filthy streets and alleys of the city, but in the cupid- ity of some of our people who could not get their consent to destroy even the bodclothes upon which vatients died of the fever. It has never been demonstrated that the yellow S ofeh — Se8 be, , rit ~~ Me. ‘ ! ie 4 bi ath ee ae ae aa, = SON ge ae ea SR Pet PIO gh ae At ep EL Se Whe Sate) Sah fhe tine Aas, We ee Wit ee ew KE igo a i GY, have become saturated with the yellow fever poison, will retain it for a very long pe- riod @ypeven = in cold weather. It 13 well known that many persons in Memphis did not hesitate to preserve and even sieep upon beds and bed-clothing that had been poisoned by the infected air of a sick room or. by direct contact with the yellow fever patient. These articles have been kept,of course,in bed rooms where the heat of a fire during the day and the warmth of the sleeper’s body at night prevented the germ from being frozen out. In many instances woolen clothing that had been hanging in the sick room, where the air was reeking with the toul fumes*of the fever, was packed away in trunks, or with the poorer class in wooden boxes, Here it remained during the winter. The warmth generated.by the fabric was an ply sufficient to preserve the germ in all its firmer vigor; and thereit lay, like the deadly serpent, only waiting for the heat of summerto warm it into hfe. Mulbrandon’s coat, which, like the shirt of Nessus, carried death in every fold, is now matter of history. Another is that mentioned in the Avalanche of yesterday morning ot a South Memphis woman who bas kept in a wooden box all the clothing ot her busband, who perished by the fever last year, and even the bed-clotnes upon which he died, stained all over with black vomit. One of the ablest physicians in Memphis said, not long ago, that there was not a house inthe city, whether occupied during the fever or pot, that bad not been thoroughly infecte-t by the yellow fever poison. Itshould be remem- bered also that eventhose who fled from the city when the fever broke out left be- hind them their caipets, bedding and winter clothes to receive in trust for them the insidious poison which they were trying to escape. This reasoning may not be founded upon the principles of medical science, butitis certainly justified by common sense, and,by getting up all the evidence to be had tn regurd to the matter, the medical fraternity mav be able to throw some light upon the origin of the present outbreak of yellow fever in our city. Proclamation by the Citizens’ Committee of = Safery. {From the Appeal.] To all Citizens of Memphis, Absent Present: The undersigned beg leave to inform you that they have been appointed an executive couwwmittee from the General Committee of Safety to co-operate with the euthorities of the Taxing District in the maintenance of order und in the protection of lifeand property during the prevalence of yellow fever. Warned by past experience oftheevils devel- oped in all communities by public excitement and suffering, we are resolved to concert such measures a8 May meet ali emergencies and give all needed help to the Taxing- District government. In carrying out these purposes we call upon our fellow-citizens for moral and material support. We propose that as far as po-sible all contributions be sent to President Porter, so that, by unifying our efforts, the greatest zood may be done to the greatest pumber with the least waste ot our means. We call upon Memphians to unite in shouldering the heavy burden once more laid uponus. We implore one and all to protect the good name of the city from the possible imputation of being a community of beggars on the world at large, sitting idlv cdown and expecting others to take care of our interests and feed our poor. Let the good men of Memphis do their whole duty now, and with economy, honesty, and tborough system in our Nanagement, we hope earnestly not to be compelled to ask charity of the world. Let it be understood that all moneys or sup- plies sent to us will be used for these pur- posts: 1. Feeding the sick, the aged and helpless, in camps selected for health. 2. Giving employment to able-bodied men thrown out of work bythe fever, in guarding property, public and private, and in sucii pub- lic works as will promote the health and the business of our city when the fever abates. We shall keep acareful record of all receipts and disbursements, publishing the same in such form as will be asuflicient cuarantee to all con- tributors that theirdonations have beer pro- perly and economically applied.

[From the Troy (N. Y.) Times.) Epidemics feed mainly upon cowards. Had there not been a coward in Mempiis a very different state of affairs would exist there at present; but when it became generally known that a tew cases of yellow fever had broken out in the city, the knowledge transformea nearly all the inhabitants into a mass of fleeing cowards. Afew brave ones, ve it said to their manfulmanner. The dire effects of a sconrge like yeliow fever lie not g§9 much in the power | of the disease to do harm, asin the suscepti- bility of C°\ wardice to be harmed; the paraly- zaticn of fear enhances the power of the dis- ease a hundred fold.

The Old Grave Digger at His P ost. [From the Memphis Appeal. ] Samuel W. Phillips is still at his post at Elm- wood Cemetery. He has been through three epidemics, and never deserted trom his duty as superintendent until taken with the fever last September. He went to work again before be should, and had a relapse, but on the first of November he again took charge, and hopes to have everything straight —no confusion this year (allof which happened last year during his sickness). His brave wife, who was North last year long before the fever, wanted to return when it broke out, but Mr. Prillips would not turnish her the means to do so. Though earnestly requested to go to St. Lonis with her daughters last week, she would not do. s0, preferring to stand by her hard-working husband, at great risk, as he, being exposed to the plague all the time, is liable to bring to bis home at night the seed of the Gisease. Hiis family, viz.: Mr. Samuel H. Philiips, is with the ‘‘Chicks’’ at Clarksville; Misses Mary, Emilie and Bianche Phillips at St. Lonis; William and Richard Phillips at Osceola, Ark. Bouncing an Inapecting Physician. [From the Memphis Avalanche. } Dr. S. H. Collins, U. 8. Inspecting Physi- cian, started to Lagrange yesterday, where Mrs. Collins is rusticating. When the train stopped at Moscow he got off. Whether to in- spect anything or anybody is not known. At any rate the news that he was from Memphis was soon known among the impulsive inhabl- tants of that region, and in a little while a vigilance committee started for the Doctor, with the express intention of raising his golden bair. The only mweans of escape was instant flight, and the Doctor enlisted the services of a good pair of legs and took to the woods, In the meantime the train left, and when last heard from the U. 8. Inspecting Physician was mak- ing his way back to Memphis afoot. _— —_-— A Memphis Advertisement. [From the Memphis Appeal. | WANTED Daly! at J. W.

Steamboats continue to give us the go-by as they pass up the river. On and after Friday, August 1, trains on the Louisville and” Nashville Railroad west of Clarksville will be discontinued. Those who rely upon a yellow fever epidemic for a situation and asupport this season will be badly fooled. The soft places bave played a and the yellow fever will do likewise ere ong. Warden Biizzard has dete: mined io admit no visitors from Memphis into the Penitentiary. Neither will any prisoners trom the infected oe be allowed to be brought to that insti- ution. Mrs. Hattie Lawrence, who was spending the summeés very pleasantly in Kentucky, has re- turned to the city and is already at work nurs- ing, baving three patients under her care. No one who nursed through the epidemic of 1878 made a better record than Mrs. Lawrence. Yesterday, at the residence of the bride’s father, 486 Vance street, Mr. Thos. E. ilson Miss Nelly Murray were united for life. Love not only laughs at locksmiths, but even defies yellow fever, and finally becomes anepidemic itself. The bride isone of our popular belles, and the groom is one ot our most worthy young men, and his many friends will congratulate him on this tortunate and happy affair.

Ail the officials in the oftice are busily employed in attending to the multitarious duties that have arisen out the entorcement of quarantine. Mr. Fitzvilliams, the chief clerk, is overwhelmed with work. He works assiduously fyom morn- ing until night. Some of the physicians visit the Quarantine Hospital daily. Dr. Robinson reports the sanitary condition of the city ex- cellent. The following telegram was sent to Quaran- tine by Acting Commissioner Conery relative to the boat of the Anchor Line now due fiom New Orleans: Dr. F. T.

CONERY, M. D. An autopsy was held on the body of the ne- ro Who died last nigbt on Wash street, near fttgbth. The man had been the servant of Capt. Lee, on the steamer Coahoma. Quite a scare was produced in the neighhorhood bv the presence of so many doctors. The post mortem examination, however, revealed the fuct that the cause of death was congestive fe- ver, So the scare was soon ended, of The Mayor’s Office. About eighty health certificates are issued Gaily from the Mayor’s office to southward- bound travelers. The regulations in the Soath, especialiy in Little Rock, are very stringent, and alltravelers have to take an affidavit that they have not been staying in the infected dis- trict. To-day Mayor Overstolz received areport from Drs. Conery and Ford, wno yesterday visited and inspected the Quarantine Station. The following is the report in tull: Str. Louis, Mo., Jaly 30. Hon. Henry Overstolz, Mayor: Sir—We have the honor to report that in ac- cordance with your request we visited Quaran- tine Hospital on Tuesday afternoon July, 29, 1579, for the purposeof inspecting the cases ot fever under treatment there. We found that there were no other persons affected with the yellow tever, with the ex- ception of the members of the Brandy family; two of the children were convalescent from the yellow fever; the mother states that sne has had it recently—having had acbill on Sunday last. Under tne circumstances, for fear of a relapse, we deem it best to detain ber for the present. The youngest of the children (Lizzie), two years old, died at 12:30 o'clock p. m., July 29, witn yeliow fever, accompa- nied with black vomit. She was immediately buried and all clothing, etc.. etc., were burned and the ward in which she died thoroughly fumigated, We would also report that we found the quarantine service in a high state of efficiency, und in view of possible contingencies we would recommend thatthe present status be main- tained. Respectfully, W.B. Conery, M.D. W. Hutson Forp, M.D. Quarantine. There is no case of yellow fever now at Quar- antine. The latest reports say that the Brandy fumily, who are the only persons now in the hospital, are doing well and will soon be allowed to leave. Attentionis being paid to the drainage and sewers are being laid. The Anchor Line steamer from New Orleans is expected this afternoon. The bout will ve detained, but the passergers allowed to come totown. The baggage will undergo fumiga- tion. To-Day’s Mortality.

A reporter asked Mr. Binswanger this morn- ing when Mr. Goldsoll would shed the light of his countenance upon St. Louis. ‘*Goldsoll,’’ said he, ‘‘ will be here whenever his bond is fixed. He will be present when the bond is handed in.’’ **So he must be pretty close to the city.’’ ‘*Well, he will have to be present as princi- pal on the bond, you know.’’ *‘*How soon will this bond be handed in?’’ ‘*One of the bondsmen is out ot town to-day, and will not be back before to-morrow, maybe. later. On Friday, at furthest, we will present this bond, and I hope to-morrow.’’ ‘*Could you present itto-dayif this bonds- man were bere?’’ ‘*Yes—well—no. I have other business I must attend to this evening.’’ ‘*‘THEN GOLDSOLL IS NOW IN THE CITY?’’ At this point there was a pause, which was broken by Mr. Binswanger. ‘*The grand jury must have taken the state- ments of the newspapers or the testimony ot the assignee witbout making any further examination when they stated that Goldsoll owed the bank about $400,000.

The trouble abont bondsmen has not been a fear of Goldsoll, but fear of puolic opinion, and if I told the names now someof them might be induced notto go ou the bond, after all.’’ ‘*Will you say whether or not Goldsoil is in the city?’’ ‘‘l willsay this,that Goldsoll would have been here jong before this it I had not been obliged to go East.
