said that it was bad thing for the city.
That 1t would keep all the country peo-
pie away from town because they would
become suspicious that we are afraid of
having the yellow fever. He said that
Austin had always justly boasted that
she was the healthiest town in the state,
and she was still. and yet In the face
OF all that, some people talked about put
ting on u quarantine, and thereby an
nounclng that we We're afraid of yellow
fever He assured his hearers that be-
cause there were Il few eases of yellow
fever of very mild type reported to be
IN existence down in the swampy part of
Texas was no need that Austin should
become alarmed. That Austin was in no
danger quarantine would scare the
country people half to death, and would
he of no benefit.
Alderman Beatty said that he was op-
posed to quarantining and wanted TO
settle the matter at once without any
further parlying.
Alderman Taylor moved the adoption
of his resolution and that the council
take a recess until o'clock in order that
the physicians of the city might meet
with them. This motion prevailed, not
Withstanding the fact that Alderman
flatt and several others wanted to table
II and end the matter ut once. The coun-
ell accordingly took recess until )
O'Clock, and the city marshal was in the
meantime instructed to see all physicians
and ask them TO be present at the meet
Ing for consultation.

The annual report of the home depart
ment was presented by its secretary,
Rev. G. II, Daniels. ID. d., of Boston,
the concluding paragraph of which says:
We must have for the ensuing year

have made their confession of their faith
this year. In seventeen theological
schools 179 students are in direct prepa-
ration for the work of the ministry. In

Secretary Barton covered the work Of
the American board in the two Indian
missions and Ceylon, =, Japan, eastern
Spain and Mexico. The greatest need

the Young Peoples Society Of Christian

association for its work in Austria.
Spain, he said, had been a hard field In

owing to political excitement and the
terrible strain which rested upon the
people.

Afternoon Session,

The council reconvencd at o'clock with
only ten aldermen present, and the mar
shal was sent out after absentees.
As soon as the council was reconvened
with quorum present Alderman Taylor
moved that each physician he heard in
turn. There were about Il dozen physi-
clans in attendance.
Alderman Maddox suggested that the
physicians might wish to consult before
expressing an opinion, and he suggested
that they be granted ten minutes in which
to do so. The motion prevailed. and the
council recessed awaiting their pleasure.
After being out nearly three-quarters of
an hour the physicians came in and recon-
mended that the council institute strict
quarantine against all infected points.
Dr. Denton stated that it was the con-
sensus of the meeting for the mayor to
appoint committee to assist the city
physician, and further, that all suspicious
cases he promptly reported.
DR. Taylor put himself on record as op-
posing quarantine, saying that 1t was alb
solutely ineffective. That yellow fever
only existed in malaria countries, and if
the climatic conditions were favorable
to the disease that it would come here
anyway.
DR.. Matthews said that yellow fever
could he brought into Austin and he was
in favor of keeping 1t out by any means
possible. He said further that AUSTIN
altitude would not necessarily protect it
from the disease. The doctor was also
of the opinion that the sanitary condition
OF Austin was in n bad shape and need
ed immediate attention.
Dr. Jones was of the opinion that Aus.
tins money could be better expended in
cleaning up than in declaring quarantine.
Alderman Maddox, in behalf of the
council, thanked the physicians for their
advice and the mayor added his personal
thanks thereto.
The ordinance declaring quarantine
against all infected points was laid he
fore the council, and Alderman Rober
deau moved to suspend the rules ant
place the ordinance on its second reading
The motion to suspend the rules failed
by Il vote of II to 4, the following alder
men voting aye:
Beatty. Kuhn, Lawlcss, Maddox. Redd
Roberdeau. Rosengren, Shelley, Stumpf
Taylor. Townsend-11.
Nays-Horton, Nitschkc, Platt ant
Schneider.
The council then, on motion. adjourned
until tonight at s o'clock, when another
effort will be made TO get the ordinance
through.

Those who remember tbe fomous
Duval train robbery of several years ago
VIII doubtless be surprised this morning
10 read that near the same place last
afternoon, in the broad open daylight. the
south bound International and Great
Northern train, loaded with men, women
and children, was held up and robbed by
iOur men with winchesters. The train
was an hour late getting into this city,
and as soon as it reached here q States
man reporter hunted up Mr.. NJ. G. Kelly
of Georgetown, who was on the train.
and from him secured the particulars
of the robbery. He said that when the
train arrived at Mcneil it was crowded
almost to suffOcatiOn. there not being
even comfortable standing room. At this
point two passengers got off, and he and
travelling man took their seats in the
rear coach Of the train, which consisted
of four coaches. There were two men
bearded the train at Mcneil and took
their positions on the rear platform of
the last car. After pulling out of Nc
Melt the conductor, Tom Healey, came
through the car as usual checking up
u and after finishing passed on to the rear
platform, where these two men were
standiag. As he stepped out on the
platform he felt the touch of cold steel
on his temple and turning to either side
found man standing with a sixshooter
Against his temples they demanded that
he stop the train two miles below Nc
Neil at n certain mile post that they
would designate. After parleying a
few minutes he declined to do so and
m, de a dash through the door into the
rear coach, with one of the robbers right
after him with revolver in his hand.
He had hardly gone ten PAGES when the
robber opened fire on him. but the first
bullet flew wide and found no lodgment.
He fred again, and this time hit the con-
ductor in the arm, breaking it in two
nloces. BY this time the second robber
was in the car, with his revolver flash
ing in the air, and the excited passengers
sprang to their feet, thinking brawl
was at hand. A cattleman who was
near sprang for the first mans gun, only

FOR AN ARMOR PLANT SITE.
The Government Naval ArmOI
Board Leaves for the south,
Soturdnv.

Washington, Oct. 12.-The naval armor
board will leave Washington next Satur-
day for the south to look at certain places
with a view to ascertaining the avaia-
bility for sites for the proposed armor
plant. The first stop will be made at
Birmingham, Ala, thence the board goes
to Sheffield, Ala. to Chattanooga, Knox
vile, Tenn. in order named. 1t is barely
possible that later on the board will visit
Piedmont. w. Va. in view of the urgent
request of the West Virginia public men.
A great number of appeals are coming
to the department from various locali-
ties possessing iron plants TO have the
board sent there to look at their resources,
but in view of the fact that the board has
10 authority to make any recommends
tions as to the location of the plant it is
felt that such time would not be usefully
spent BY act Of congress. Secretary
Long is charged with the duty of submit
ting description of the land, buildings
and machinery needed for an armor plant,
but this is not construed to mean anything
more than the submission of plans for a
plant, although he may volunteer a
recommendation as TO the site.

Reaching Mcneil, he was afraid to go
to the station because the robbers had
boarded the train there and he did not
know bur what some of their pals were
lying in wait for any messengers from
the scene of the hold-up. Going around
the town he told the news to some Ger
man farmers near there and then pro-
ceeded on to Round Rock, while the
farmers came on to the station and told
the station man about the hold-up Il few
minutes before the train backed up.
Along about the time that the train
was stopped at the scene of the robbery
Alderman Powell of this city, who had
been up above Mcneil hunting was sit
ting in the baggage car. He had
shotgun with him, loaded with birdshot
When the robbers came out of the
woods toward the car, shooting, he sprang
out of the car and emptied both barrels
of his gun at the approaching bandits.
This was all the ammunition he had at
hand, however. and no sooner had he
fired both barrels than he took to his
heels for pastures new, and by means of
scme tall old walking and running he
maraged to get around to Duval and
bearded the train there when she came
along and rode on to this city in company
with the excited crowd of passengers.
As soon as the trainmen had learned
what had become of the negro at Mcneil
they received their running orders to
Austin and came on to this city about an
hour behind time, but highly delighted
that they arrived here with their lives.
As soon as the train reached town Dr.
Cranberry, the company surgeon, was
called and dressed Capt. Healey's arm,
finding that the right arm had been
broken in two places by the bullet from
the robbers pistol
As soon as the officers were notified
they began to make preparations for
the capture of the robbers, and within
very short time experienced officers were
securing the country in search of them.
The robbery is one of the boldest on
record. 1t was committed in broad open
daylight. it being only o'clock when
the train was stopped, and four men
successfully held up something like $50
men. women and children, and relieved
them of all their pocket money.
Quite number of gold watches and
rings and some other valuables were not
touched, the robbers taking nothing but
money.
They had big cotton picking sack
to take their booty away with them.
which clearly evidenced that they were
expecting big haul.
After leaving the scene of the robbery
about two miles they scattered into every
direction and were quickly lost to view.
The two men who came out of the
bushes had red handkerchiefs tied over
their faces. but the two who boarded the
train at Mcneil had nothing over their
faces at all. Both wore boards. how
ever. and one of them wore heavy side
burns that extended clear down to the
chin. leaving that member bare.

Another story.


Mr. Fl. G.. Miller. drummer living on
Eighteenth street, in this city,, was on the
train and tells gives the following ac-
count of the robbery:
81 was seated in the coach. alongside
another drummer, when suddenly there
was a commotion in the car. Looking in
the direction from which the noise ema-
mated | saw the conductor running down
the aisle with man in hot pursuit, with
n gun in his hand. Several of the men
in the coach jumped UP to quiet what they
supposed was mean tight. when the man
with the gun pointed the weapon at them,
warning them. and at the same time order.
ing the conductor to stop this ID train.
The train was soon brought to stand
still, when the negro porter jumped on
and made dash for the woods. Ihe
man with the gun pursued him, shooting
three times at the fleeing FORM When
the train stopped three confederates OF
the man on the rain appeared on the
scene. There was good deal of pro-
miscuous shooting by the robbers about
this time, and it was a hair-raiSing eX-
perience. Two of the robbers took
charge of the train crew while the other
two went through the coach, one holding
n small sack to receive the money. while
the other allowed the passengers to gaze
down the muzZle of gun. which had a
very large opening to allow bullets to pass
ont. They were very vulgar and impo--
lite robbers and continually cursed and
abused the passengers. who took it all
very good naturedly. After they had
gone through the coaches and express and
baggage cars they cut the engine loose
from the coaches, ran it down the track
about half mile, and jumped off. letting
the engine go on at a speed of about
twelve miles an hour. They got about
$16O from the passengers Two of the
men wore masks. while the other two did

The Second Meeting Was Attended
by the Doctors Who RECON-
mended That the Council De-
clare Quarantine.

The council met twice yesterday, once
by themselves and once with the physi-
clans of the city The purpose of their
meeting was to consider the advisability
of quarantining. AT the first session, in
the morning, the sentiment was rather
strong against any quarantining of any
kind. At the afternoon, however. the
doctors had an inning. The council gave
the NJ. DIS ten minutes to consult in, and
they We're out nearly three-quartcrs of an
hour. During that time they had con-
sultation that did not exactly bring about
a concert of opinions. Some were in favor
of quarantining and others were opposed
to it. Some thought that Austin was
safe under any circumstances, while
others thought that 1t would be golden
harvest field for yellow jack. Finally the
majority brought in Il report, urging the
council not only to establish Il rigid quar-
antine against all infected points, but to
appoint a city board of health at once, to
whom all suspicious cases are to be re-
ported. The council heard one or two
of the gentlemen who were opposed o
uuarantining, and one or two who favored
it. After that they thanked the physi-
clans and then proceeded to agree to dis
agree by declining to suspend the rules
and pass the ordinance to Il second read
ing. This action put the fat in the fire
and the council adjourned until tonight at
\ O'Clock, when another effort will he
made to pass the quarantine ordinance.
