The president of the board of health

would have been announced several
DAYS ago. But two of them have been
discovered in the past a hours.
The number announced today is IL

Stands Between Star Pointer
and Two-Minute Gait.
WORLDS RECORD BROKEN
IN THE RACE BETWEEN PATCH
EN- AND KING OF TIE TURF.
Patchen in the Lead to the Back
Stretch, But Star Pointer Moved

ord Won by Michael-Basebal.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 1S.-The
worlds racing record was broken here
this afternoon by Star Pointer, in a
match race with joe Patchen. The
weather was perfect for the contest be-
tween the kings of the turf There was
but one heat of the race, to be fin
ished, each having taken heats on the
afternoon previous. TIE race going over
on account of darkness
The track was the best it has been
during the week, and the horses were
both fit for the race OF their lives. In
fact, every condition indicated that
the record of 2:011s held by Patchen
and john r. Gentry would be smashed.
The vast crowd was not disappointed.
They saw a mark that will no doubt
stand for years-2:01. Had the black
fellow not faltered a bit at the head of
the stretch, even lower time would
have been recorded as Pointer finished
strong with three open lengths of day
light between them. Palchen had the
pole, and he set a fast clip to the quar-
ter which was passed in :2934 Those
who were holding watches on the noble
pair, were prepared from this for a
mark that would startle the world.
Patchen was leading to the back
stretch by a length, when McCleary
urged Pointer on and he responded no.
bly,. He crawled up inch by inch and
in a few seconds a blanket would have
covered the PAGERS. The drive to the
half was a beauty. Pointer passing
the pole neck in front of the black
fellow in exactly one minute from the
time the word was given. From this
point he gained, little by little, until
the three quarters, which was made in
$780,
Joe was urged on and the noble ami
nal responded, but though he gained
slightly Pointer moved along like a
piece of machinery in his steady gait
that meant for him victory. Down
the stretch Dickerson applied the whip
to the white nosed favorite, but Pointer
gained steadily. McClary laid the whip
lightly from the last eighth in, and
passed under the wire in the remark
able time of 2:o1, winning the $4,000
purse.
Had Patchen fought him clear out.
as ne did for the first half mile, the
coveted two minute race record would
without doubt have been touched.

ONE MANS STORY.
A Mississippian in Denver Describes
Conditions.

Denver, Sept. sc. E. Williams of
Meridian, Miss. arrived in the city to-
day. Mr.. Williams is the first visitor
to arrive from the yellow fever district
He carries with him a health certificate
and an affidavit, the latter pledging
that he will not re-enter the state of
Mississippi until after the quarantine
has been removed.
Even in case of death in my family, !"
says he, q could not return to the
state without being arrested. The
greatest CONSERVATION prevails all over
the state and the strictest regulations
are enforced. Trains bearing passen-
gers through the state are moving with
the doors Of the cars locked, just as
Cinnamon are sent under bond through
the country to Canada. Everybody
who is able to move is fleeing to the
country. Business in many of the
towns is almost at a standstill. The
cotton crop, which is only one-third
harvested, is the heaviest in the history
of the state, and if the epidemic
spreads the loss will be incaicuIable.
Every thing depends upon the success
of the authorities in holding the fever
inside the line between New Orleans
and Mobile

TO ERADICATE ANTHRAX.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASE DANGER
GUS TO MAN AND BEAST.
The Agricultural Department Has
Begun an Observation-Disclosures
Originates With CattIe-Hides
May Be Affected.
ESPECIAL to The Herald.l

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The department
of agriculture has begun an investigation
to ascertain whether persons employed
therein or domestic animals in the vicin-
ty of the tanneries Have been affected by
the disease known as anthrax This is q
contagious disease which originates with
cattle, but which sometimes attacks the
human species and is very dangerous to
the lives of both man and beast. Already
the department has learned that several
employees of the tanneries in Pennsylva-
MIA have died. presumably of anthrax,
and many head of cattle in the vicinity
have also fallen victims
Certain officials of the department are
of the opinion that the deaths referred to
have been caused by arsenic used in tan
ming hides, rather than f7)rn anthrax, but
the mos experienced experts think the
men have died of the diszrse referred 70,
and the treasury department has seen ap-
pealed to to aid in preventing the import
tation of hides that may be infected.
Under the new tariff law, the president
has authority to prohibit the importation
of hides from any country in which cat
tie disease prevails, and the secretary of
the treasury has addressed a letter TO the
secretary of state suggesting that Ameri-
can consuls be instructed to refuse to
certify invoices of hides produced in any
region where anthrax is h~-ieved to exist.
