THE CITY RAILROAD CO. Sale of the Rights of Way and Franchises. Interesting Soene in the Mayor's Par lor on Opening the Bids-The City Railroad Company the Highest Bidder. The announcement which had been publicly made for a lown time that the bids for the fran chises and rights of way of the City Railroad Company would be opened on Monday. the first instant, drew, as was anticipated, quite a large number of gentlemen-ospitalists, lawyers, city officials, etc.-to the Mayor's parlor. The numerous newspaper publications which had been made in regard to this sale, the wild and absurd statements concerning rings tha had been formed, and the ingenious methods by which the city was to be euchred out of the proceeds of the sale by judgment creditors and others had created unite an excitement through out the city, and the somewhat unusual in terest manifested by the public in the open inwof the bids was not surprising. Cot jecture as to the probable amount the rights and fran. chises would bring was freely indulged in, but there seemed no one willing to wager that the sum would exceed ti00,000. Several hats add good dinners were lost and won on figures ub der that amount, As the various gentlemen who were under stood to represent the different contestants for the franchises entered the room the excitement and interest increased, but the best of good humor prevailed, and many jokes were in. dulged in between the various coteries. Seated in a comfortable arm-chair was the rotund fox m of the jovial' United States Marshal, whose usually cheery countenance was corrugated in a manner that bespoke some meditated mischief, and this idea was fortified by the presence of the alert Deputy United States Marshal E. S. Wuraburger, in whose eaale eyes there was disoernible the determination to finger some of the proceeds of the sale in the interest of cer tain judgment creditors of the city in the United States Court, By the time the hands of the clock had slowly Saret across the dial and had joined each other at 12, everything was in readiness, the loud hum of many voices suddenly as beided. and Cot, Wood, the handsome secretary of theCoun 'al,. standing immediately behind his Napoleonic moustache and just in the rear of his Honor the Mayor, who was the central figure of the assemblage. read aloud in a commanding but wll-modulated voice the specifications and or * dinaaoes under which the bids were to be ntkde. Immediately thereafter Mayor Patton read Otdinaaee No. l111, Administration Series, S.assead August 26, as follows: Whereas, there seems, bycertaln publications Il~ the newspapers, to be some mi-conceptlon t the, proposed sale of the franchises of the w Orleans City Bailroad Company; - co 1 Be Utresolved by the Common Coun o the oily of New Orleans, That, as said sale advertised for cash. any attempt on the Dart of the purchaser or purchasers to evade this condition of the sale by offering in pay aent of his or their bid city obligations of any kind, .ahll be deemed 'an express and solemn waiver of his bid, a forfeitureof the deposit re quired by the specifications of the terms of sale and avoluntary annulment of any adjudication lt may have been made to him or them. gao. l.

There was a special meeting of the Board of Health yesterday at 2 o'clock. Dr. Austin in the chair, and plesent, Messrs. Booth, Marks. Hutehinson. Doctors Schuppert and Albrecht and Dr. Bemiss. of the National Board of Health. Mr. Booth offered the following resolution: Resolbed. That, with a view to test, as far as possible the , fflcacy of such preventive or re strictlive measures against the spread of yellow fever as may be recommended by science or gustlfled by experience, the Board of Health earnestly call the atontion of the mediail pro fesslon here to the importance of making an immediate and careful report of all suspicious it cases. such as hemorrhagic malarial fevers, congestive and malignant reml ten's. or sup p Iosed malarial fevers, which do not yield to y quinine. etc.. the object being to givO the board timely opportunity to come to the aidl of the at tending physician in the important matter of preventing or limiting the spread of the disease. This rcsolution was unanimously adopted. Dr. Austin made the following suggestions to the board. Suggestions adooted: e I would, with your permission. make the fol. I lowing suggestions to the board: 1. That physillans attending yellow fever or other contagious or inlfectious doallsos be re quested to comply with tlhe law in reporting them as soon possible to title board. 2. That all physicians who attend persons who die of yellow fever or other contagious or inleftlous diesaes hoe reutneted to urge upton their friends the necessity of an early burial; and further, that they firge the friends to have the body, or casket. contaluing the body,. or letl y surrounded by charcool after death. This will prevent in the house. In the streets and In the graveyards all danger of Imr arting the disease. 3. That the practice of advertising funerals, requesting friends to attend the same, he die. pensed with ; that the Sanitary Association, the City Counn'i and the press of the city be si Ilnited to co-operate with this board in these suggestions. 4. That we will continue to give to the public every case of yellow etver reported daily, or as often as they occur,iroDerly vouched for and signed by the secretary of the board. 5. That the houses and yards he thoroughly scrubbed and washed after fumigation. The Doctor. referring to the fifth suggestion, said that he would recommend very earnestly the use of Sapollo soap for such purposes: that it was death to all insects, and he and others had used it. with great success on orange trees, The soap was very cheaep and, in his opinion, extremely ell 'aclous. Dr. Austlll then called attention to the gen erous aid and assistance extended tb the board last year by President Clark. of the St. Iufls, New Orleans and Chlcago Railroad, and read the following letter, which he had written: Naw OItLRc.as. 8eptemb r, 1, 1879. Mr. Richard charles. Treasurer Chicago, St. L ,ils and N- w Orleans Railroad: Dear Sir--We have concentrated all our force on the infected district, t.,nt require about ten carloads of fresh lime. Where can a telegram reah Mr. Clarke, and whet do you think ,if the rnrobability of Mr. C, sending it to us at once. Please answer by messengr. and oblige Yours truly. WM. O. AUSTIN, Acting President of the Board of Health. He had received the following reply: September 1, 1.79. Dr. W. G. Austin: Dear ,ir-- bhe address of Mr. J. C. Clarke is now at Fre'derick. Md., but. 1 learn that he will in all probability leave thereto-morrow for New York. It would be well to telegraph him at once about tl lime. Yours, very truly. R. S. CHARLES. Jn. The Doctor said he had telegraphed Mr. Clark and had no du:,,t the lime would b here. On motion the board then went into executive seasson with Dr. B-muss and the sanitary offt cers. as was understood, todiscuss the question of dlsinf-ction, and the best use to bte made of the s10,0o0 received from the National B lard of Health. During the executive session, rules were adopted for the special guidance of the sanitary inspectors, as to the disinfection, the iolation of infected houses and the prevention and spread of the fever. Doctor Bomits stated. in conversation, that of the three oases he had reported at MisalssDipp City. two hal roe ,vered and noe had died. It was understood that Dr. Bemiss upon pro per representation being made to him by the board, would takesteps to prevent the possi billty of persons coming to this city from Ha vana, via Cedar Keys or arty tof the FlotiIa ports, which It i ntOw comparatively fasy to do. There were two new cases of fever reported at the board yesterday-Fred Wei-ks, No. 891 Tehoupltoulas str-eet, taken sick on the 29 h ; and Alice Williamson (child) No. 78 Washington street: died August 1.

Whitney & Co. have information that their fine new steamship, now nearly fin ished at Philadelphia, will be launched next week.

A Wind Which Traveled Forty Miles an Hour. if i The Effects of the Blow in This City, on the Lake Shore and if Elsewhere. At a late hour Sunday night the gale which had been threatening all day came upon the city. At the start the wind traveled at but a modor n ate rate. but it kept on inIreasing as the night ii passed, and when daylight, appeared It was s" ushered in with a good t iff breeze. The gale , rapidly rose. and at 11 o'clock yesterday It was i blowing at the rate of forty miles an hour. This continued for several hours, after which It gradually moderated, until at 12 o'clock last night It had decreased to twenty-eight miles an , hour and was veering from the west to south west. The wind was accompanied by heavy showers of beating, driving rain, but there was a notice r able absence of,bott thunder and lightning. The full force of the gale was felt ON THE STECAMBOAT LANDING. and indeed all along the river front, where con siderable damage was done. The steamboats 1 W. J. Bohan, Alvin and BPrtha. were blown from their moorings, and had It not been for the promlpt assistance of a number of tugboats would have been wrecked. The tugs took them successively in tow. and moo red them before any of them had been sorlously injured. The Unhan, however sprung a leak. and was com poeled to employ the powerful steam engine of t lhrnix Fire Company No. 8, to free her of the wate-r and prevent her sinking until the dam ag esto her hull could be temporarily repairrd. The old hall of the steamer Gov. Allen, lying I at Louisiana Avenue. was sunk. The tit le st .amboat Julia also went down at the sarnme plance. The steamboat Henry Frank was slightly damaged by being blown agalint her wharf. One loaded coal boat and two coal flats, par trllly iraded, also slink above Algiers. Twelve coal boats 8at (G en ville were also sent to th bottijt of tihe river. The departure of the steamboats Belle. Eva, leabele, $It. Mary and Commonwealh., which were to have left last eveaiug, was postooned until to-day, as it was impossible for them to leave the wharf w thout considerable danger. The ferryboats gallat ly continued their trips across th+e river as long as it was possibli for tn.em to be handled. but they were flnally tied up. U'The sloop Flunor we lplaced In great jeopardy, one of her mast lling by the board arl her tackling giving IW. She was, how vbt r. after mu'l work, again secured to the wha rf. Four laden barges at the government wharf succumbdd to the force of the gale and sunk. THE nOATtHOUSE of the Rlverslde flowing Club, situated on the leve,. helad of ThIialil street, r aabout 8::li o'elock in the evening was blown from its foutdatlon. thrown over anrd totally demol Ishid, and all the fine boats of the club which r were in the bultdiing at the time were broken up and entirely ruined. The loss is estimated Iat bte wean $35r5 and s.lo i, t The sugar sheds suffered considerably, a larue numlber of slates and tiles being carried t off their roofs. The effects of the storm were not. however. confined to the front of the city. c IN EVERY DISTRICT trees were uprooted. lenices blown down. chim neys demolished and signs sent travellng through sIate. The srnokestack of the Jackson Press "took a tulhnle," as dli also the one on the Emlpire -irese.
