He says: "Before reaching Memphis, even when five miles out, the air was laden with yellow fever poison, and as we approached the city the stench was absolutely tiickening. Dr. Peaee and myself went to tbe Peabody hotel, the only one now open, and wore shown into a room from which a dead body bad just been removed. Vessels of black vomit were standing about the room and tbe bed clothes had not been ohauged. The hotel itself ie a perfect peBt house, and victims vic-tims of the diseaso are in two thirds of the rooms. Sulphur pans were kept burning in the halls, and clothes and bedding are constanlly disinfected, disin-fected, but tbey cannot get enough in the hotel to do what ought to be done. Ail commerce has ceased, and business of nearly every kind is suspended. sus-pended. The people have no heart to attempt any regular business, and could not if they would. Even liquor saloons, for tbe mo3t part, are closed and provision stores, as a rule, are empty. The greatest need ia provi siouB, clothing, physioiaus, money, nurses and medicines. The best thing that can be done now is to send plenty of provisions and clothing. Negroes and many poor whitaB, for a section of 150 miles around Memphis, have flocked in here, hearing they could get something to eat, and as for clotheB, hundreds of poor people are going about tbe streets (tnostlycolored women) with hardly anything on at all. The sights in this respect are distressing. So far, no serious outbreak out-break has occurred, but the better class are in constant terror of riot. Tbe city is in the hands of colored police altogether, and while they behave be-have very well, there is still a lurking fear on the part of the whites of some additional evil." |
