FEVER AT MATAMORAS.
Strict Quarantine Still in Force at
Matamoras


NEW ORLEANS, Aug. IA special
from Brownsville, Tex, says: "On account
of yellow fever in Matamoras, quarantine
is still in force, and all communication
between the two cities of Brownsville and
Matamoras is literally suspended, to the
great inconvenience of hundreds whose
business relations embrace both sides
of the river and to the destruction of COM
merce, all business on both sides of the river
being at stand still The Junta de SIM
dad had meeting at 5 o'clock this evening,
with Mayor Milguiadestorres presiding, and
after reading an official communica-
ton from the Mexican consul at
Brownsville, and proclamation of
Quarantine Officer Wolf closing the ferry
against Matamoras, they took the following
extraordinary retaliatory action:
In consideration that the port of New Or
leans is in the same condition, sanitary and
Typographical, as Vera Cruz, and besides
having reliable information that in the
first named of these ports there is
actually existing an epidemic of diphtheria,
without this being an obstacle against
the admittance of passengers and
freight which steamers that conse-
quently come from infected poris bring
the junta, as q measure of prudence
and precauton order that passes between
Brownsville and BrazoS and this city and
its jurisdiction to Bagded, be closed.
TIME OF THE PROHIBITION.
The time of this prohibition is TO continue
for the period that the junta considers con-
venient. Had they taken most ordinary
precautions against the admittance of the
infection by passengers by the
gunboat Independence, or had Gen.
Vela chosen to allow his family
to pass few days in one of the lower river
ranches, all the quarantine difficulty here
would have been avoided. As it is, Mata-
moras has very small stocks of -four, coffee,
sugar and other necessities in her stocks of
merchandise, and goods for that place
which arrived on the steamer Morgan this
evening, will not be allowed TO cross the
river Matamoras merchants are alarmed
and fear scarcity, and are treating for a
schooner load of groceries, to be sent from
New Orleans TO Bagdad direct.

No foundation whatever exists for such

press the Facts In Force.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Aug. 14.-An east
bound Atlantic and Pacific train, due here
at 80 o'clock yesterday morning, came in
ten hours behind time. The delay was
caused by wreck which occurred on the
desert in California at a point known as
Horse Shoe Curve, two miles east of
East Siberia. The train was running very
slowly-not over eight miles an hour-but
the trucks on the express car were not in
good working order and refused to adjust
themselves to the curve.
DOWN AN EMBANKMENT.
The consequence was that the car was
pulled off of the track, and, breaking away
from the tender and engine, which it left
on the track. went tumbling down a 30-foot
embankment, pulling after it the baggage,
mail and three immigrant coaches, and two
sleepers well-filled with passengers, all of
whom suffered injuries more or less severe.
All the cars were badly wrecked and some
Of them are beyond repairs.
TELEGRAPHING FORBIDDEN.
The mail clerk, who was badly bruised,
tried TO telegraph to Albuquerque for
assistance, and some wounded passengers
tried TO send dispatches to friends and
relatives but the railway company con-
trolled the only wire and positively forbade
the operators sending anything that would
convey information that there had been an
accident, and passengers of the wrecked
train were picked up by Especial train of
Superintendent Gaddis, which came along
about twelve hours after the accident.
DENOUNCED BY THE PASSENGERS.
The passengers were all very indignant
at the manner in which they were treated
by the company-especialy at its refusal to
permit them to send kilograms to friends
and relatives. They expressed their con-
demnation of the company in a series of
resolutions, signed by every passenger on
board the train, declaring that the accident
was due to the carelessness or incompetoncy
of the officials Of the road in permitting
cars to be run when unfit for service. ana
pronouncing ths company inhuman and
barbarous In refusing to permit wounded
passengers to telegraph their friends and
relatives.

BURNING OF THE CONVENT.

Among the Property Lost.

Forty Pianos and a Fine Library
Among the Property Lost.
New YoRK, Aug. 14.-The greater por-
tion of the immense building known as the
convent of tue sacred heart lay in ruins at
daylight The fire, as stated in last nights
dispatches, broke out at o'clock last night
and swept everything before it.
The cause Of the heavy loss was due not
to any neglect of the fire department, but
to the fact that water could not be
obtained. The nearest hydrant was two
blocks away down steep hill. The build
ings were on high knoll and considerable
time elapsed before hose could be laid.
Even then the requisite force of water
could not be obtained. In the meantime,
the main building had become q seething
furnace.
COVERED TWO BLOCKS
The buildings occupied land two 81 ocks
long and one block in depth. The older one
was erected in lS42 and containe d the
lecture rooms, chapel and dormitories The
parish school, free school and music hall,
were destroyed, including forty pianos and
valuable library. Thousands OF dollars
worth of vestments were burned.
Mother Duffy, the treasurer, was too
much excited to give any account OF the
origin of the fire when seen this morning.
~ All the inmates Of the buildings are safe,
so far as known. They were cared for at
Manhattan college.
BY o'clock this morning all the walls
had fallen in, except the chapel, and that
went down soon after. II Is said that the
convent will not be again erected in tho
same place but further up town.
The loss on the buildings is $500, 900 and
on the furniture and vestments $3.50, 600
The insurance on the buildings was $780,
900 and ON the personal property $169, 800.
The largest amount held by one company
is $1,000, for which amount policies are
held In three foreign companies

Louisville Gets Up a Sensation over
q Few FuCitlyes.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 14.-Three persons,
supposed to have yellow fever, passed
through Louisville this morning, en- route
from Jacksonville, Fla, to their homes in
Ohio. They went to Jacksonville last
spring Tor their health, and when yellow
fever became epidemic, by energetic
measures and robust misrepresentation
made to the quarantine officials, made their
escape. They were accompanied by an
official of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, VINO was also in the infected district,
and making his escape. He has not yet
shown any symptoms of fever, although he
was for a time with Lon Tuttle, passenger
agent of the Louisville and Nashville rail
road for Florida, who died at Pablo Beach,
Friday.
THE OTHERS LESS EXPOSED.
The officials wife, and others supposed to
have been less dangerously exposed, were
also in the party. When they lett Jackson
vile Saturday, none of them were ill. Be-
fore they reached Georgia, however, one
case had developed, and the victim was put
off at farm three miles south of Way
cross, GA. The party was stopped at sew
eral quarantine stations, but everywhere
denied that they had been exposed to
ures as are possible, are being
taken to relieve the situation
at Jacksonville. but the board of health is
partly demoralized and lacks money and
material with which to fight the epidemic.
The sanitary condition of Jacksonville and
Florida is not so bad as is supposed, but
with an epidemic fairly started and the
heat ranging from 96' TO 100', nothing can
check the fever's ravages before frost.
