Dlfiduirgcd, 2,266. New Sept. With over three inches of rain, most of which fell i i three hours, tho gutters and pools nil over the city were washed- clean of oil nnd salt today, and xvith the wind blowing at thirty miles an hour many cheese cloth screens had holes in Out of doors fumigation work was therefore completely Interrupted, the precipitation continuing throughout the day. nnd fresh breeding places for mosquitoes wore undoubtedly created In every direction. Orders were promptly issued from the Hospital office that with the settling of the weather there must be an immediate resumption of the oiling of both cisterns and gutters.

There is such a strong ambition on the part of scientists and sanitarians to wipe it out completely before frust that there is au earnest appeal for continued co-operation hy all citizens. Encouraging to a high degree was thfl report today, the number of new cases indicating that tho present week will show in the totals the moat distinct gain for several weeks. Tho low record of denths is also likely to he maintained, for while for the past two days there have been more than lor the two previous, they are far under the daily record of a week ago. One of those today wan actually not to be credited to New Orleans. It was that of Siegfried Neuhatia.

On tho way here the train struck an ox cart and was wrecked. Both patients were considerably shocked, but both finally reached Touro Infirmary. Fumigating gangs were today put to work in the various public school buildings, with a view to their complete disinfection in time for tho opening on Monday.

The ordinary enrollment here runs tu about 30,000. Superintendent Baston expects the Monday enrollment to be lower In spite of the ab- eentees from tho city. All the trains coming into New Orleans ore well filled, and it Is expected that by the middle of October practically the whole of the population will bo at home. Dr. White today paid a visit to the Convent of the Perpetual Adoration, a.

thorough disinfection of which had been ordered. All parts of the building are being disinfected with perhaps the exception of the chapel, where furnhiRation may be omitted in order not to wound the susceptibilities of the Sisters. It Is one of tho rules of the Order that a company of nuns must always be kneeling before the altar In order that the service of adoration may never cease, which makes fumigation of thO; chapel impossible. Second Vice. President J.

T. Harahan of the Illinois Cent ml reached here today in his private car ami went immediately to the docks for an inspection of the work of ic-building there. Everything Is to be hurried In. order that the road may be able to handle its export trade without interruption. Mr.

Surgeon Von Kzedorf work is completed at Tallnlah and the parish authorities are now capable of handling the remaining sickness. Some relaxation of quarantine restrictions lias enabled the State engineers to move to points where the levee work has been contracted for. By making his headquarters in AllpslsrippI Capt.

It seems from a statement made ay that In order to drive a ot of mosquitoes out of the house several landfuls of loose sulphur was sifted around on the floor of the different rooms, after which it was ignited and the doors closed. Mrs. Fischer, In doing this, intended to suf- "ocate the mosquitoes, and that she succeeded admirably there is not the least bit of doubt, because It is alleged that sulphur, when properly applied, is death to the mosquito. After setting the sulphur on fire VIrs. Fischer went about her business, and he first thing she- knew about the result was when one of her neighbors raised the alarm that her house was on fire.

It appears that the sulphur exploded In some way and communicated fire to the contents of the different rooms. The contents of the house were only par- ially insured. The house was the property nf Mr. Leon Levy of this city, and was nsured. The damage.
