M .-A fire started about 3 o’clock in the lumber district near the corner of Seventh and Halstead streets, and has been burning ever since with the greatest fury, having spread at this Iiour. I ’ll*' wind is blowing a gale troin tlic souihwesr and carry ing bnniing hranil- a long distance in advance of the fire. The entire Fire Department is on rlie ground and doing everything po8.siblc to stay the advianee of the flames. The Are' is hurning in a northeast direction, liaving already passed diagonally across four blocks to a point about one and ahalfmile.« distant, ill a straight line from the (!)ourt ILm.se, or tlie centre of the hnsincss portion of the city. The locality where it originated is bnih up almost entirely of wooden hii ld- ings,inainly dwellings of smaller class. There is coidinned excite ment among all classes of the peoj»le. The locality of ihe fire and dircctioi' of the wind arc nearly the same a= those of the great fire of two yoaiv The ]»oint w’heie the fire started is ui)ont Inilf a md^ nearly sonih iVoni the j>oint*where the gre «t flri of Oct(iher, lB71, originated. ^ . • Ffialv r1kih^lL ebj, fKOL; ‘ ^ 8 B. M.—The lire is' under com- plele cindi'ol, and, no withstanding file strong wind blowing from the sontHwest, no fiii tlier danger is up preliended. The people, who whei the excitement was at its height re moved their goods from houses sev ral blocks disiar.t Ironi lhe fire, are now moving them back. The total loss is estimated at from $250,000 to $300,000. The lota! immiier of buildings des‘r >yed placed at sixty-four, only one ot which, the packing house of Richard M. Oliver &Co., was of brick, tin remainder being wooden tenements from one to three storys liigh and occupied mainly as residences ami stores, of shops and dwellings coin- hined. Tlicfire originated in a large wood en shed used by the (diicago, Ihirl- ington and Quincy and N«n thwest ern Railroads for storage ami traim Icr of hay, at Newberry avenue and and the railroad track, between Fif teenth. and Sixteenth streets. One end of this shed was open am! the tire oaug . ut from a spark which flew in from a passing train. Almost before an alarm could he soiiml(?d the entire shed with its in- flamabl contents was a mass of flames, an l there being at the. time a stilf breeze from the southwest, the first engines .had scarcely arrived before tlie lire h >d spread to a row of wooden hniHC' on tlje north, and from tlicm the hhild ngs on the east side of Ilalstcd street, and soon after ward a third which called to the scene the entire Fire Department, which w’as soon at work with a cour age and energy which cliallenged tlie admiration'of every one.. Mean time the streets in tlio line of the fire were literalh’ swarming with people onrdened with every variety of household goods, rushing to places of safety. Vacant lots west of Ilalstcd street were soon covered with furniture, bedding, clothing, ifec., which THE FLEEING INHABITANTS of the doomed dwellings had man aged to save. Intense cxeiteinent prevailed in the neighborhood, and many people living several blocks from the line of the fire began to pack up and move their jWtable property. The dry goods firms of Field, Leiber & Co. and Farwell & Co., as soon ns they heard tli6 extent of the fire sem all their trucks and teams to tlie spot and placed them at the dispfpsal of those whose house.? were threatened, and tliey were all soon employed in removing those whose fears impelled them to seek flight. One of the oinnilms lines olso vsent their vehicles to the relief of those who desired to leave the dan gci'ons ncighorhhood. Owing to the inagiiificent w'ork of the Fire Department, however, the removal ofman}^ w’as unnecessary. At Mitchell s'reet the flames' were stopped in tlieir progress northward, wliile its spread in a westerly direc tion w-is stayed on the Avest side of Halstead street. The east line liad not at any time crossed Newberry TVemie, and the track fo the Chicage, Burlington mid Quincy Railroad i’ormed its sonthcrh honndery. PESTILENCE I N THE^SOUTH.

That journal says the num ber of interments since tlie first of ISepteinbcr sums up 226; tlie niim ber of sick is estimated, variously, at from 500 to 800. A HU R b E R AND A SUICIDE. The preliminaries to a bloody tragedy which was enacted in Greenville early yesterday morning, began two years ago. George Maim, a biiker in old Bergen avenue, has carried on a profitable business five years, and accumulated eonsidorable property. Me had a wdfe and three children. In his employ a year ago was John Kocting. Mrs. Mann was several years younger tlian lier husband, and Mann a -c ;sed Ko t ing of being too famiiliar with Iier. Maim had an irratuble temper, and outbreaks of anger against Kooling were frequent, lie ivas, it is suid ot genial nature, and lie bore wiili Miiniis fury until about ten montlis ago, when lie quit his einyloy and set up a bakery in Jolmsoii’s hme, Saitervillc, Bayone. Just before this Mrs. Mann died, and her husband remarried. Four months ago Koeting sued Mann for $60 wages. Mann aseprted that liis ial despatch to the‘Hb’caj line, dated bcforeJie quit.' As sho was dead. it Slin'veport, Sept 16th, says; TIic number of new cases to day, *f yellow' fever, is less than for sev- •ral preo'ding days, and tlicnmnber *t interments < il from thirty-three yesterday, to twenty-five to day. It !snot tlsought, however, that there ■s any abatement, but tliat the iria- terial for fever to work on is consid- •rably diminished. The following is the list of interments today ; Ann Ihirns, F’athe Qncmerais, Handy Williams (colored), W. E. Smith, 'fhos. Bylcn, P Lacrossett, IL S. Tegner, L. B. Lovisse, Sarah Reed eolored), Miss H. Ycrker.son. Wm. Dunlap,Mary Fippio, C. F. Calhoun, Faimy Myers, Geo. Siitmn, Robert B. McGots (colored), M. W. McCann, 11. Barrett, A. Jackson (colored), one child, M. Glantbn, Henry Hord- iian, M. Iving. anil II man II ■ dly; Tlie Shreveport Times this morn ing says; The epidemic exhibits hut little (diHiigo, and that the decrease in the linmher of new cases is greatly ow ing to the want of materiai. The iininher of deaths is fearful to con template; the mortality is beyond precedent, ami it looks as though hilt com pari tively few will get well. Tims far very few have got' about, while some linger along between life and deatii. I j some lew instanc- iM? whole families have been swept out of existence in the short space of one week. The sudden change in the weather last' t nnday night sent scores to their beds, which ac eonnt.8 for the large nuiiibor of iiiter- incnts in the last day or two. In the language of one of the New Or leans physicians, they dropped off like sheep dying w'ith the rot. Med ical treatment of the most skillful kind does not appear todo.'iny go*id in a great many cas(*s, whereas, in many others, the teniporarv relief afforded is quickly followed by deatli on toward his wagon. Almin ran to liis wagon, took out the pislol, :md spoke again to Koeting. As the latter turned Mann lireil in his face, and a lialf ounce ball crashed into his brain, entering his forhead jus^ above the riglit eye. Koeting uttered a sharp ciy,' sank to the curve, and rolled into the gnlter, dead. A sm.'ili hoy, wlm was passing, screamed and ran down the avenue. He met an oflicer, ivhom he told that a man had shot another one at Darmstatter’s. The officer liastened to the idaccand found Mann roliing and bleeding oii the sidewal|c, and the revolver lying near by, with two chaml)er3 empty Mann was re moved to the police station, where he died. After shooting Koeting he placed the pistol to his month, and sent the ball thr nigh Ids brain.. He (lid not utter a word after the shooting Koeting’s wife arrived soon after ward, and the body of her Imsband was given to her. Sho has five ‘•hildren the olih-st being eleven. They are left destitute. Mann had tlircc children, the ehlest a girl of .sixteen, l^lrs. Mann and family are well provided for. Mann was well known along the Jer-^ey shore, hav ing lived in Greenvilio five years. Ho was over fifty years old. Koct- i;.g was about thirty-five. Justice Martin and several oilier gentiemcn of Bayone ye-terclny started a suh- .scripfioii for the benefit of Koetilig’s family. — Sun. , THE R E S T RED’ . <.

It. 18 1 0 ^ 1 ihat not less than fivo pounds and he could not jvrodnee receipts or books to prove it, judgement was promptly rendered in Koeting’s fa vor. Tins increased ManiTs anger. He Iiad always nursed his bitterness against his former employee He was violent in Justice Martin’s court, and made threats against Kocting’s life, lie'reiterated the tlireats sev eral times afterward, but Koeting paid tittle attention to them. He prosecuted his business in Saltersville successfully, and, began to servo out bread from a wagon. Ho soon enlarged his route to Greon- viile. This increased Mann’s rage. A few days ago. Koeting agreed wirli a Greenville grocer to sup])ly him with bread in part payment ot a debt. Mann liad previously fur nished bread to this grocer. On Monday the two bakers met at the grocery. Mann threatened to shoot Koeting the next time he met him. Koeting’s friends ad vivsed him to cease peddling bread in .Greenville, but he treated Mann’s fhrekts ^ itli a laugh. On Wednesday Mann visited a carpenter in Greenville and tried to buy his revolver. The price being too high, he borrowed it to shoot a dog, hesaid. i»is carpenter’s name is unknown to the police. Mann placed the weapon in his baker gon, and told several persons that he was fixed, and that lo-morrow they would see two bakers less in Green vill •. . lie also made the same assertions to bis wife. Yesterday inorniiig Koeting drove up to Darmstatter’s beer saloon in Bergen avenue, and served him wiih bre^> They took a drink, and Kocting wont ont. On the dborstep he met Mann, wlio.had just alighted from his wagon. The^’ gazed at each othef an instant, and MaUn said something in German. Koet ing answereiJ in German, and passed and spirits. DO his body through the skin. And of these five pounds, a considerable percentage escapes during the night while he is in be«l. The larger part of this is water, but in addition there isMimch effete and poisonolii matter. Thi.s, being in a great paft gaseous in form, permeate.? every jiart of the bod mattress, blankets as well as sheets soon becomo . foul, and need purification. The mattress needs this renovation as miicli as tlio slieets. To allow tlic sheets to be used without Mash ing three or six montlis wnuld he regarded ns bad house-keeping; but I insist, if a thin sheet can . absorb . enmigh of the poisonous ex^i'ctions of the body to make t unfit for use . n a few days, a thick mattress, which can absorb and retain a thou sand time’s as much of these, poison ous excrctifuis, need.? to be purified as often certainly ns once in two months. A sheet can be washed. A mattress can iiot lie r hovaten in tliiffw.ay. Indeed ihero is ,no other way of cleaning a mattress hut by •steaming it or P eking it to ])ieces, and thus in fragments expo.?ingitto the direct rays pf the sim. As these processes are scarcely practicable '^wii'li any oftbe ordinary mattresses, I am decide ly of the opinion that the good old-fashioned straw bed, wliich can every three months be ex changed for fresh straw an ! the tick washed, is the sweetest and health iest of beds. If in the winter season the ponr- onsness of the straw bed makes it a little uncomfortable, spread over it a comforier or two woolen blankets, which should he washed as oiften as every two weeks, you will have a delightful, healthy bed. Now, if you leave the bed to air, witli open w indows during the day, and not make it up for the night before evening, you will have added greatly to tho sweetness of yonr rest and, in consequence, to the tone of your health. I heartily wish this good diacge c,ould he everywhere introduced. On] V tliose who have time attmded to this Important matter can judge of its influence on the general besitli
