THE YELLOW FEVER
NEW ORLEANS, September 24. - The interments
from fever to six o'clock this morning were 82.
Letters from LaGrange, Texas, to be laid before the
Howard Association here, state the number of citizens remaining
in the town are only about five hundred. Yet the
interments reached twenty four in two days. The average
mortality per day is eight. Those attacked are almost sure
to die, the disease proving fatal in nine cases out of ten.
Every house is filled with sickness and death, whose families
have been swept away. In some cases there is no one to
bury the dead. The disease is spreading into the country,
and there are no provisions in the town. Country people
will not venture into town with their produce, and on the 9th
there was not even meat to be had to make gruel for the sick.
Business has stopped entirely. Stores are closed, and
newspapers have ceased publication. The jail is emptied of
inmates, who fled in terror from the scene of desolation.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Equity Court - Judge Wylie
Suit for alimony, Julia A.
Joslyn vs. John C. Joslyn. Swann
and Miller for complainant, F. P. Stanton for
defendant.
The petition in this case sets forth alleged marriage,
subsequent neglect and desertion, and recites charges of
infidelity against the defendant.
The answer admits the alleged marriage, but denies the
desertion, and charges desertion on the part of the complainant.
It also denies the allegation of infidelity. Claims a
prior divorce in Henrico county, Ohio, and claims that the
complainant is not the wife of the defendant by reason of
thereof. It also denies the jurisdiction of a court of
equity to grant the relief prayed for by the complainant.
The counsel base their claim for alimony on the
following grounds:
That it is the duty of the husband to support the wife,
that alimony is not confined to the divorce law; that a court of
equity has jurisdiction to grant alimony and costs of suit, even
to grant counsel fees, that after a suit of divorce so granted
the wife can bring suit for alimony as an Independent right;
that although the Ohio divorce is set up by the defendant, yet
this court can look into the proceedings and examine as to the
jurisdiction of the Ohio court; and that the courts of the
District of Columbia have ample jurisdiction, and the Ohio court
has not, therefore the alimony is prayed.

at the Fourth Precinct Station, to __wer to the charges of
passing a counterfeit $5 Treasury note on George Carpenter,
colored, who is in the employ of Davis & Gather, agents

appears that Mr. Hamlin had purchased a sewing machine,
and had paid Carpenter for the same on its delivery.
Among the bills were two $5 notes, which Carpenter gave
to another colored man in change for a $10 note. The party
receiving the bills in exchange was told that one of the $5
notes was counterfeit, and it was upon presentation at the
Treasury so stamped. As witnesses were absent, the case
was continued until Monday afternoon, and there being no
evidence to sustain the charge the case was dismissed.

Destructive Fire in Petersburg, Va.
About 1-1/2 o'clock last night the
large tobacco factory of Mr. Reuben Ragland, situated at
the corner of Halifax and Byrne streets, near the New Market,
was discovered to be on fire, and notwithstanding the strenuous
exertions of the firemen, the entire establishment, including a
very large stock of tobacco, and a great quantity of the best
machinery and fixtures, was totally destroyed.
A large quantity of tobacco box lumber being in the
factory yard, estimated to be worth $5,000, was also consumed.
The loss of the factory alone will probably exceed $100,000,
which is, we learn, covered by insurance to the extent of
upwards of $80,000.
The wooden storehouse on the opposite corner of the
street, occupied by L. E. Heath, and a brick dwelling in
the rear, occupied by some colored people, also took fire, and
were partially consumed. The drug store of Messrs. J.
W. Goodwyn & Co., and the South Ward engine-house, were
saved by the firemen, though they were in imminent danger -
