MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH


There was a general feeling Of depression
that seemed to pcrvade every section,
No one seemed to have any particular
alarm over the reported cases OF yellow
fever, but the quarantine was the bug
bear that mado the business man shuddei
and the average citizen feel blue over the
very discouraging outlook.
The general idea seemed to prevail that
no relief might DO expected TIL cold
weather set in and from the way the mer-
curry now slides upward this is regarded
as a very remote contingency.
The schools were all closed yesterday,
nearly every meeting announced to take
place last night was abandoned. not even
the Salvation Army being out to enliven
the street corners with their lively music
aud exhorting.
The county yesterday removed Its quar-.
antine. following the example of the city
set the night before. but last night the
board of health picked up a few dropped
stitches and re-established quarantine
against Galveston, pending u more thor
ough Investigation into the local situa-
ton.
