The meeting of the board of health last
night was looked forward to with great deal
Of interest. Its action relative to the estab-
fishing of quarantine against New Orleans
was telegraphed you last night. The board
decided to keep up telegraphic communities
ton with DR.. Jones, of the Louisiana state
board of health, and DR.. Bemiss, Of the ma
tional board of health, and impress upon
them the importance of being apprised at
the earliest moment Of the first appearance
of yellow fever in the city of New Orleans,
30 that the Galveston board of health could
take action to keep it out of this
city and Texas by the establishment
Of rigid quarantine. From communica.
tons received from the New Orleans health
authorities they express determination to
act in good faith and do all in their power to
prevent the importation of this dreaded dis
ease. Captain Fowler, agent of the Morgan
stantly in telegraphc communication with
board instantly of any cases of fever al that
gave bali at Temperance hall
which was largely attended by the
colored fraternity. Among those
Emma Williams. These people had been
living together for two years, until
recently there has been trouble between them
in consequence of Emma entertaining too
warm an attachment for one Frank Proctor
Proctor, however, got religion, and refused
to have any moro to do with Miss Williams.
Attn bali Smith and her had war of
.X4dI This finally eliminated in an appa-
Nf3nt reconciliation, and toward morning they
INDUCED in lemonade. Soon after Smith fell
in commissions and Officer Parker reported
the mans illness to the night clerk at the
station, who directed that Smith be conveyed
to the hospital, where he was given power
full emetic by the physician in charge, who
stated the man had been poisoned. Soon
after Smith was taken to the hospital his
mother appeared at the police station and
asked that Emma Williams be watched, as
she believed she had given her son poison.
Smith was supposed TO be dying yesterday
at 8 o'clock, but at late hour last
night was much improved. Emma
Williams has not been apprehended.
The poison administered to Smith by his
mistress has not been determined, but the
bottle containing the substance is in possess
ion of DR.. Wilcox, at the hospital, and will
be analysed. If Smith, on his recovery
enters, charge against Emma Williams, she
will be arrested.-Chares Corbie and Rob-
ert Owens, TRUSTEES at Jail, made their escape
this afternoon, and went out on general
rampage through Smoky row, and other
classical precincts. They entered negro
womans house on West Post Office street,
and raised lively racket, which eliminated
in. free fight. Corbie and Owens were
ousted and placed in the calaboose.
In the morning they will be
transferred to the Jail and charges preferred
against them before the grand jury now in
session. These jail escapes are becoming too
monotonous, and reflects great negligence on
the part of the officials in charge.
Mccormick and Bertha Pierce were out on q
general bender and we're taken, and will have
. chance to explain to the recorder in the
morning.--A few nights age the hook
