A. D. Langstaff, President of the Memphis Howard Association, who left the city this morning, telegraphs from Milan, Tenn., as follows: “Have visited every town between here and Memphis, on the Louisville road, and conferred with the mayors, physicians and prominent citizens. All sympa thize with us, and will not quarantine against us unless we have an epidemic.” Everything regarding the fever remains in statu quo. No new cases have been reported, and the general impression is that the fever will not spread, but will be confined to the families where it is at present located. No change is re ported in the condition of Judge Ray and his son. Both are very low are not expected to live. The State Board of Health this morn ing established inspectors of trains and passengers. Hereafter all persons and trains leaving Memphis will be required to have certificates from the inspecting officers. All trains arriving and de parting will transfer passengers and bag gage at a point five miles distant from the city. Judge Ray’s condition is un improved, and but faint hopes are enter tained of his recovery. His son also lies in a critical condition. No new oases have been reported within the past two days.

Thornton, of the Marine Hospital service, who is also President of the Memphis Board of Health, telegraphs Surgeon-General Hamilton under date of Memphis, 12th, 7:40 P. m. six cases of fever have no curred to date and three deaths. cross 124.
