four Wild STEERS.
They Spread Terror in Washington
Heights This Morning.
Two Of Them Shot and the
Others Finally Captured.
A Boy Severely Injured and q Police
man Hurt by the Beasts.

There were scenes Of the widest excite
ment and terror in the vicinity of Washing
ton Heights, at about 0 o'clock this morning,
as four wild steers came dashing through
the streets.
The animals rushed abou with all the
recklessness of their kind, and wherever they
went there was a great scurrying of men,
women and children out of their erratic
course.
They had escaped from the Union Stock
Co.'s yards at Sixtieth street and Eleventh
avenue. and ran up the Boulevard, one being
shot aud killed by Officer Mcdonald, of the
Thirtieth Precinct, at One Hundred and
Nineteenth street.
The other three ran up to One Hundred
and Ihirty-first street, where another was
killed by Police Captain Cortright.
The other two ran up the Boulevard, but
were finally secured.
A boy named James Hall, sixteen years
old, of S44 Eleventh ave rue, wa knocked
down by one of the animals and s:v,r ,ly in
ured. He was taken to the Manhattan Hos

A policeman of the Thirtieth Precinct,

THE BOARD OF HEALTH's PROBATION.
1t was stated in the Health Department
this morn ng that during the past two or
three weeks every death certificate giving
fever as a cause of death has been referred to
DR.. Edison for examination, special attention
being given to Intermittent and remittent
levers. ss they are characteristic of the yell
low type.
This was done as q precautionary measure,
and nearly fifty such diagnoses were made.
resulting in fixing the diseases beyond doubt
as lilo or typhoid.
WHAT DIR. SMITH SAYS.
An EVENING WORLD reporter saw DR..
Smith at the Fort Wadsworth Quarantine
Station this morning and interviewed him
on what the commission was doing IN regard
to the yellow fever scare.
Are any precautions taken with land
passengers from the South that arrive in
New York from the infected regions ?" the
reporter asked.
There are no lines direct from the fever
stricken section to New York. The exceed
ingly rigid measures that are taken in the
Southern States with regard to all who come
from Jacksonville is sufficient guarantee that
they are not infected when they arrive here.
There is nothing dom with regard to passen-
gers who arrive by rail from the South when
they get here that 1 know Of"
Will this case Of Prot. Proctor make the
Commission any more ~vigilant 2"
No. They do all they can as it 10. " re-
piled DIR. Smith. Everybody on q vessel
coming from a dangerous port is detained
until the germ would develope if there were
any. 1t takes five days for this. Proctor came
from o place miles and miles away from Jack
s~onville. There is no danger from one case.
Under the rigid system of examination here
there is really scarcely any danger for New
York. The disease is not contagious-it is
infectious"
"Have measures been taken for the care OF
patients if it should break out ?"
"Yes, certainly" said DR.. Smith. "Swin-
burne Island will accommodate two or three
hundred, but there have been no cases."
You consider, then, that there is little
danger of the disease getting into New
York ?" inquired the reporter.
THAT is my belief" said DIR. Smith deli.
berately.
WHAT PROTECTION HAVE TRAvELLERst
The fact that Prof. Proctor came to New
York on a Pennsylvania Railroad train Mon.
day, and that he was sick on the t. ain. has
caused some uneasiness among passengers
who are compelled to travel by that
route and has raised the very serious ques
ton. What precautions are taken by the
railroads carrying passengers from the South
to guard against the transportation of the

As early as 6. 80 O'Clock this morning I

ONLY ONE PARTY LEFT.
But one party have left, and they were
located in the apartment-house adjoining. but
their departure was not due to the fear of
