THE yellow Fever at Galveston.
New ORLEANS, September ga gea.
tleman just arrived from Galveston
says there is a perfect panic there on
account Of the yellow fever. On Fri
day Last some eighteen hundred resi-
dents left the city for the interior by
rail and steamboat. Cars were jammed;
and numbers OF merchants, who had
gone to Galveston to buy their full sup
plies. stopped in the midst OF their
purchasing. Those who bad pur-
chased countermanded their orders
Those who had not bought left with.
out doing SO. The idea OF almost
everybody was 20 get out OF the
city; and to have witnessed the hurry
and CONSERVATION one would have
thought the city was on fire and the
people we're flying for their lives. The
causes for the alarm was the death OF
a man named Hargraves, who died at
a priyste residence Of q disease upon
the character which the doctors disa-
greed, some asserting ii to be Brights
disease, aud others treating it for vel.
low fever. There were no other deaths,
nor was any one else sick. Arriving
at Houston the frightened passengers
found quite as terrified community
as they had left behind, and were not
permitted to disembsrk, but made to
90 forward to points more central.
The panic extended throughout the
country, along the railroad lines, and
every town at once quarsntined every
other town, ,aHd the people OF Hampstead
isreported becameso alarmed thatthey
threatened to tear up the railroad track
to prevent trains from running either
above or below. They were afraid oi
Dallas above and Galveston below.
This sudden declaration OF quarintine
caught the members OF the Democratic
Convention at Austin and become
necessary 10 send 8 special
train to carry them away.
Reports in regard to the fatality OF the
fever at Shreveport have not been ex-
agerated, but it seems to have stopped
as soon as it began. 1t lasted abou,
two weeks. the highest mortality being
seventeen iu one day, Tuesday last. Or
Saturday last there was but one death,
The fright that has seized the people o
Texas seems all the more remarkabf
when it is remembered that there ha
not been single authentic case Of vel
low fever in the State.

KENTUCKY RACES.

LEXINGTON, September 9.--The ra-
css Of the Kentucky Association to-day
attracted a large attendance. The
weather was fine and the track in good
condition. ..
The first race was well contested with
broken heats. The third heat was es-
pecially close, the contesting horses
running side by side until half way
on the home stretch, when Dusty grad
ually gained on competitors, passing a
strong length ahead. Time, 1861, l463'
1881.
The second race was for. the. Colt
stakes for two year old, $50 each, dist
and three quarters of a mile. Five
started. Robinson's Australia winning
easily by a length.
In the second race it was some time
before start could be affected, owing
to some Misunderstanding about Bu-
ford's entry. His number was up but
his horse was still in the calling ground
The timers On the stand were waiting
for some decision of the judges on the
matter, and supposed that Major Viii
ley who had ridden him around 10 the
stand first would be made aware OF the
fact. While the spectator. were wait
ing the word was given that they were
off, and sure enough they were. The
red flag dropped and then Warren
Waltzs bay colt was in the lead with
McAllie second and the others strag-
Cling. Favorite was last but one, but
before the first quarter OF mile had
been run Favorite moved away from
the crowd and took the second position
going up the hill, and capturing the
lead handsomely before the summit was
reached. The Astroid colt proved him
self splendid racer. As the
horses rounded the head of the stretch,
the iavorite gallantly and easily took
the lead, and the inside track which he
maintained under pull, to the string,
winning by two lengths. No official
time OF this race was kept as the tim
ers were unaware that start would be
attempted without Buford. We 10 ay
state however, unofficially, that the
three.quarte1s were run in l:l93. The
Salyris Entire could not be stoppe un-
til he had run almost three mills and
thrown his rider. Gen. Bufo1 d was
much vexed that the race hs d been
made without him, and dou' its were
raised about the tate Of the bits on his
horse. 1t appears that the Generals
rider, when weighed, was ten pounds
over weight. He sent for another boy
who was a pound and halt over
weight, and he was still waiting
for a rider when the race was
ruu. 1t WAS maintained that
no horse could lose who had no
chance to win. But the judges thought
otherwise, and 30 soon as the rider is
weighed and his number up the horse
is in the race and in the power of the
judges. and cannot be drawn except by
their consent. These conditions were
applicable to Buford, and as to starting
without him, that does not affect the
matter. The rules cay that horse
left in the field shall be deemed dis
tanced. So all bets on Buiord are lost
as lar az regards the final result which
would have been the same though the
time might have been little faster.
Robinson's splendid colt had really
nothing to push him.

The Warehouse and Security Com
pany.
@It is reported that the troubles of the
Warehouse and Security Company are
due to its relations with some OF its d.
rec;ors. Francis Skiddy and Sh epperd
Gundy, both heavy sugar importers,
were Directors of the New York Ware
house and Security Company, fiud also
Directors of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railroad Company, no in course
of construction. Skiddy and Gundy
obtained loans from the Security Com
psny, which had besides large amount
OF paper in circu alton about to mature,
and unless come of the loans which it
made to Skiddy and Gundy were taken
up, the company could not eat it's OBJ
legations, and was thus fore ed to sus-
pend and await the action (yf its credits
ora on Thursday. The Warehouse
Com pany claims that if al extension is
granted it will be able to IJsy its indebt-
ness dollar for dollar.
The Secretary OF the B .ansas, Missou-
ri and Texas railroad said that that
company had not goue to protest, and
that its coupons had been and would
be paid. The company was under no
obligations to the Warehouse and Sc
curity Company, and the rumor that
there were any relations probably arose
from the fact that two prominent Di>
rectors Of the railroad company, who
were also Directors OF the Warehouse
Company were embarrassed. Francis
Skiddy has been identified with steam
boat, railroad and other interests for
years, aud has always borne a good
name for financial strength. Neither
Skiddy nor GuDdy have suspended yet,
both houses being largely engaged in
the commissioe business. 1tis believed
that the Losses will fall mainly upon
Havana merchants and Cuban planters.
