GALVESTON, August 1.-The grand lodge
hnlghts OF Honor reassembled to-day,
acted upon reports of the COMMITTEES, in.
stalled new officers and adjourned sine
die.
The meeting of the board of health to-
night was largely attended by
leading business men of the CITY.

himself, Doctor Swearingen, stale health
lilcer, and Doctor Truehead, quarantine
physician, to the effect that they had yisi.

solutely insulated, and that every pre-.
caution should be taken for protection
on ,he city from any danger. DR..
Nelly stated that DR.. Swearingcn had as
sImed the authority of ordering the re-
mOyal of patients to Pelican Island and
that Governor Roberts had endorsed any
action i'll advance which Swearingen might
see lit to take. Resolutions were offered
that communication with the quarantine
station be rigidly prohibited, and that a
mounted patrol be established east OF
FIRST street to prohibit any intercourse
III that direction. Much opposition was
manifested to the action of DR.. Swearinger,
lhasmuch as Galveston Was looked to by
tne entire state to see that no Infectious
diseases should be introduced through her
port. Pelican Island lies in the
bay Just north of the city and is too
close for safety Of the city should cases of
contagious diseases be located there for
treatment.
The action of DR.. Swearingen was consd-
cred an assumption of authority.
Mr.. Nldor offered the following resolu.
tion, which was adopted, only one vote he
ing cast in the negative.
WHEREAS, In consideration of the fact
that there are no adequate acclmmo.
dauons at Pelican Island, no houses
separate from such quarters as the sick

passengers cannot be taken care of and thai
the safest course is to require the passen.
