~ A
this morning d. George X. Young, OF
Elgin, Texas, visiting Knight of Honor,
took an ounce of chloral at u coffee stand
on Market street and died in few minutes
thereafter. DR.. Young had been an abb
stemious man for seven or eight years, but
since his arrival here he had been drinking
hard, and it is thought that remorsse
prompted the act. Deceased leaves a VIE
and two children. The grand lodge OF the
knights of Honor met and escorted the re-
mains to the afternoon train by which they
left for his former home under an escort
from the lodge.
The schooner Henrietta arrived outside to-
day from Brazos, Santiago, having on board
twenty passengers, two OF whom are SICK
with fever and one convalescent. The mat
ter was laid before the board of health,
which held an immediate session, and de.
cided that the vessel should be furnished
whatever supplies she needed and be per
mitted to proceed on her journey to Lake
Charles, or if she should conclude to re-
main that strict quarantine should be en-
forced against her. The nature of the fever
is not determined. Strict quarantine wat
declared against Matamoras, Brazos Santl'
ago, Brownsville and all towns in commu
nication with them. Another meeting o.
the board is called for tomorrow.
The grand lodge Knights of Honor to-day
completed the election of officers, selected
Fort Worth as the next place of meeting
and adjourned. A magnificent banquet
was given them at the Pavilion tonight, a

of soul.

The meetingof the board of health to-
night, was largely attended by
leading business men of the city
DR.. w. d. Kelly, president Of the boaro
of health, read reports signed by
himself, Doctor Swearingen, staCe health
fficer, and Doctor Truehead, quarantine
physician, to the effect that they had visi
ted the schooner Henrietta, which arrived
from Brazos Santiago YESTERDAY
with suspicious cases of sick
ness on board, that they hac
made an exhaustive examination OF tn,
sick; that they found one old invalid SUI
fering from lung disease, and one iive days
down with fever and another only few
hours. They found no pathological Of
typical symptoms OF yellow fever; that tn
sick would be removed TO the old quaran
tine building on Pelican Island, where a
physician and all necessary comforts would
be supplied; that the patients would be alb
soluteiy insulated, aod that every pre-
caution should be taken for protection
OF the city from amy danger. Or
Kelly stated that DR.. Sweaingen had as
sumed the authority of ordering the re
moyal OF patients 10 Pelican Island, anC
that Governor Roberts had endorsed any
action in advance which SWearingen mish
see fit TO take. Resolutions were Offered
that communication with the quarantine
station be Iigidly prohibited, and that
mounted patrol be established east O
First street TO prohibit any intercourse
in that direction. Much opposition wal
manifested to the action oil DR.. Swearinger
inasmuoh as Galveston WAS looked TO by
the entire state TO see that no infectious
diseases should be introduced through hel
port. Pelican Island lies in tn
bay Just north of the city and is to'
close for safety of the city should cases o
contagious diseases be located there ioi

cred an assumption of authority.

lion. which was adopted only one vote be
ing cast 10 the negative.

that there are no adequate accnmmo
