GALVESTON, July 0.-The chief of police

case of such an attempt. The object is to
guard against the possibility of any Of the
crow of the bark Salome, lying at sea twelve
mics from the city, with yellow fever
aboard, leaving the ship and attempting to
come ashore. These arrangements will con.
time until the Salomo leaves, which will
probably occur in Il day or two.
A Norwegian mariner to-day applied to the
authorities for the position Of mate of the in
foctcd vessel for the voyage to Hampton
roads, offering his services for $3.50 and ox.
penses for return trip TO Galveston. AS he
never had yellow fever his offer was de-
clinod.
New ORLEANS July 9.--Tho Swedish barl,
Borna Capt. Nyberg, from Vera Cruz fol
Tobasco, put into Southwest pass and was
towed to quarantine station. The captains
wife, first officer, steward, and two seamen
arc sick with the yellow fever.
The Times Democrats Biloci special says
more vigorous measures of isolation have
been adopted at Ship island quarantine
station since the arrival of infected vessels
No personal communication whatever now
exists between the station and the mainland
The sloop Annie, which formerly piled be
tween Biioci and quarantine station now re-
mains there on duty with the captain anC
crew, none of them approaching the main
land Tho mails and supplies will be sent by
schooner, communicating only with lighter
anchored at safe distance from the quaran
tine grounds.
GALVESTON, July 9.--The agents of the

One thousand bushels Of wheat were sold
yesterday at $1.44 per bushel.
The cool afternoon of yesterday was duly
appreciated by the oarsmen, large number
of whom were out. From the Potomac boat
house Mr.. Austin Herr gave delightful
barge party to a number of ladies and gentle
men, filing the ten-oared barge and two large
pleasure boats. That club had out also their
eight and one four-oared barge, McKenney,
Bailey, and two others in singles, and ten
pleasure boats. The Columbias were repre-
sented by their eight and one four-oared
shell, the sx-oared barge, Johns and johnson
in singles, and ten pleasure boats. From
johnson g. Bakers were ten pleasure boats
The Analostians sent out four-oared crew
and the six-oared gig.
A race yesterday afternoon in single shell;
between Johns and johnson, both of the
Columbias, rowed from the Aqueduct bridge
to the Columbia boat house, resulted in more
fun than excitement from Johnson's shell
capsizing just off the coal docks, giving him
an impromptu bath.

New York, July 9.-Robert Simpson, a
cartmans3 30 years old, was stabbed and killed
tonight by Alexander Boyer, mulatto, %
yeats old. Simpson, though a white man and
fnarried, had deserted his wife for young
colored woman with whom he has
been living. Boyer was also infatu.
ated by the woman, and the jealousy be-
tween the two men caused frequent quarres,
About two weeks ago they fought tercely,
ing vengeance. Tonight he met Simpson in
front of the house in York street where Simp-
son lived with his mistress. He at once at
tackled him with knife and struck him in
the temple. Simpson drew pistol and fired
without effect. Boyer kept stabbing him un-
ill he fell ON the sidewalk dead. He then
fed and the police have not fonnd him. 1t Is
sand both men were drunk.

The attention of many persons has no doubt
been attracted by tho score or so Of colored
men who, on pleasant evenings march up and
down Pennsylvania avenue behind drum
and fife, wearing blue shirts, black
pants, and caps trimmed with gold
lace and carrying formidable axes.
This company Is headed by o little
short black man, and is known as the
"South Washington Pioneer club" The
club gave an excursion to Carlin's springs,
Virginia, yesterday, and about 100 persons
went along The springs were reached in due
time, and all went serene until the afternoon,
when the large amount of whisky imbibed
began to assert itself, and then the trouble
began. Several little scrimmages took place,
but all but one were quelled before any seri-
Gus damage was done. The serious difficulty
occurred between Robert Davis, o visitor,
and Jim Lucas and Frank Hays, mem
bers of the club. The latter two
claimed that tho former had insulted a
woman and a'free fight ensued, during which
Davis was shot in the right breast and cut in
the back of the head with razor. The fight
bursted up the jollifcation and the party
returned to this city at an earlier hour than
the time advertised. Davis was takon to
his home in an alley between Virginia
avenue and Third street, and the
other participants went to their homes. DIR.
Leach was called in and pronounced the in
juries serious if not fatal. Hays and Lucas
were not arrested, but will be IL desired by
the authorities of Virginia.

Two Trains on the New York and New
England Railway Came Together with
Crash, killing Several Persons.
HARTFORD, CONN, July 9.-An east bound
passenger train on the New England railway
collded this evening with a gravel train one
mile cast of Plainville. The collision oc-
Cured on the curve and both
trains were running fast. The engineer
and fireman of the gravel train jumped and
escaped. George Knickerbocker, engineer of
the passenger train, remained at his post and
reversed the engine. He was caught in the
wreck, horrible crushed, and instantly
killed. His brother, his fremen, jumped
and escaped. Charles w. Church, the
Adams Express messenger, of Hartford
and Chases Griswold, Of Waterbury
were in the baggage car. The car was
smashed to pieces Both men were thrown
forty feet into an adjoining field. Griswold's
body was thrown over the telegraph wires
and he was instantly killed. Church's in
juries are probably fatal. Phe pas
sengers were badly shaken, but
none seriously injured. = Tho acci
dent was caused by the failure o.
the telegraph operator at Plainville to give
the conductor Of the passenger train orders to
wait there for the gravel train to pass. The
operator is Charles A. Welch. 1t is reported
that he was arrested tonight.
