Mrs. {. b. Anderson, whose mys-
terious disappearance created sensa-
ton recently, is stated by the Hennesy
detective agency to be alive and well.
The officers refuse to say where she
was found or where she is at this
time, alleging it to be improper to give
any information until the husband has
been consulted. They say, however,
that the lady undoubtedly left home
with the intention of destroying her
self; that she is now in good health
except from nervous prostration, and
that she is at present in the hands of
friends. Mrs. Anderson's son is in the
city, but possesses no information
other than the above. His father. Col.
Anderson, who is in New Orleans, has
been communicated with but has not
been heard from.
GALVESTON, TTeb. 22.-Dr. Fly, pres
ident Galveston board of health, was
interviewed to-day and says the city is
in very filthy condition, though he
thinks not worse than for the past
five years.
DR.. Gwin, another member of the
board says the sanitary condition of
Galveston is very bad, and yellow
| fever introduced would probably be-
come epidemic. Both gentlemen sug-
| geSt that the board of health be abol-
ished and that young active physicians
be appointed health officers with full
power to act. The board of health,
it is said, is merely an advisory body
whose recommendations are generally
pigeon-holed by the city council. The
state quarantine here is pronounced
entirely satisfactory.
j. d. Galbraith was to-day appointed
assistant general freight agent of
Gould's railroads in Texas. In addi-
tion to other duties he will have i'm
mediate charge of rates on freights
originating at stations on the Inter-
tional & Great Northern, G.. 81. & II.
and Trinity & Sabine roads.
The finding of Mrs. Anderson is
confirmed. Her son had an interview
with her to-day and promises to make
statement tomorrow concerning the
case.
