~ The HIGHER COURTS
TRIAL or TIE OPIUM AMONG
CRACKERS CASE.
winding ZIP OF the Levy bankruptcy
Nothing Eeii for the Assignee
20 work Upon.

In the matter of the bankrupt
cy of NJ. S. lovy, the motion for
order to pay rent was presented
before Judge Carter this morning.
The Court held that it had no jur-
isdiction to grant the motion,
therefore ordered it dismissed.
w. Il. Castle for Mrs. Tregloan;
w. A. Henshall for assignee;
Tburstou & Stanley for I. IL.
Davies & Co.; A. G. NJ. Robertson
for II. W. Schmidt & Sons.
Judge Perry has signed a de.
cree in Theo. II. Davies g. Co.,
Ltd, VS.. Ii. Lose, assignee of NJ.
s. Levy, ordering the defendant
to deliver to the plaintiff the pro-
perry conveyed to it by Levy's
mortgage. The plaintiff is autho
rized to sell the property at private
sale, or in discretion at public
auction, and out of the proceeds
to pay the costs of the proceeding
for foreclosure of mortgage, and
their mortgage debt. If the
mortgage debt is not thereby paid
in full, any balance due to be a
judgment claim against the bank
rupt estate.
II Lose, assignee of NJ. S.
Levy, by his attorneys, A. S. Hart
well and William A. Henshall,
has filed his report and account,
with petition for discharge. He
relates the judicial proceedings
under which he was required to
deliver up the merchandise of the
bankrupt to T. H. Daties a. Co.,
Ltd, mortgage. The value of the
property does not exceed the
mortgage debt, in his opinion, and
all that remained of the estate
were a few book debts, which he
had reason to believe could not
be collected. His account
showed that he had re-
ceived Sl5S.5l and paid out
S254.9l, leaving a balance due him
of S96.4O. He has no money in
his hands wherewith to pay any
of the debts of the estate or his
own costs, charges and expenses,
and there are no other assets than
those he had described. The es-
tate is indebted in the sum of over
$4,000. Having done all things
required of him, he prays that he
may be discharged and his bond
cancelled, and, if the Court think
that another person
may be appointed assignee in his
place.

An influential mass meeting,
presided over by the mayor and
addressed by members of both
the Dominion and Provincial Leg
islatures, was held at Vancouver
lately to promote a measure for
increasing the head tax on Chi,
nese immigrants to $500. A strong
protest was made against the fraud
ulent naturalization of japanese,
and, in their case, it was the opin-
ion of the meeting that the term
of residence for naturalization
should be raised from three to
five years. Evidently British
Columbia is in line with the rest
of the Pacific Coast in opposing
the ascendancy Of Asistics.

OF the town. The train from New Orleans
this morning consisted of mail car, bag
gage and express, enc coach and one sleep
er. There were five passengers on 1t in
addition TO the train crew, and the train
itself was Immediately backed out OF town.
The mail and baggage cars came from the
New Orleans side of the river the re-
maindor of the train was made up in AL
eiers.
The work OF cleaning UP the city is still
being pushed as rapidly as possible, mon
and teams being kept at work all day yes
terday.
This morning Health Officer Fisher tele-
graphed the office of General Manager Polk
OF the Santa Fe and informed him If that
line brought any more passengers from in
fected points trains would be prevented
from entering the city. Dr. Fisher was as =
sured that the railroad was doing all that
1t possibly could to aid the quarantine and
that no passengers from infected points
with coupon tickets would be taken
aboard the Santa Zee trains. The sleepers
from New Orleans were discontinued as
soon as the Galveston board OF health de-
clared quarantine against that place When
passengers buy tickets at local stations the
railroad has no way of determining where
they are from, and DR.. Fisher was so in
formed.

THE CASE AT MOBILE.
1T WAS FIRST PRONOUNCED TO BE
DYSENTERY.
Norwegian Boiler Maker Is the Vic
tim. and He Is Very Likely
to Die Soon.

Mobile Ala. September ia case OF
yellow fever was announced this afternoon,
the victim being Norwegian named An
tone Nagan. thirteen years In this coun-
try and four wears n resident of Mobile,
which place he has not left at any time
since his arrival. He was taken from
Mrs. Corners boarding house on Govern
ment street. near the water front, last
Thursday night. to the city hospital, and
DR.. u. l.. Marechal. a visiting physician,
saw him on FRIDAY afternoon and reported
TO DIR. Thomas OF the board Of health that
the case was susnlcious.
Drs. Goode. Sanders and Abrahams, with
the board OF inspectors. inspected the
case and decided the man was suffering
from dysenterv. Ih.s was Friday night.
DR.. Marechal visited the man daily. and
this morning concluded the case was yell
low fever. Drs. Goode and Guiteras visited
the case at about u o'clock and reached
the same conclusion. A beard meeting
was held ana the announcement was inI-
m.diately made to some sixty Southern
cities that there was a case OF undoubtee
yellow fever IN Mobile.
The sick man seems tonight very low.
ard win probably die before morning. He
has never been IN the general ward OF the
hospital. but in room TO himself CT the
GIound floor. isolated from the other pa
TENTS All his clothing has been burned.
and whatever he had at Mrs. Corners
Guards have been placed both at the hos
pital and at Mrs. Corners. and no one is
allowed in or out. The premises Fave
been thoroughly fumigated.
The doctors are very much puzzled over
the case. The fact that the man had not
been out of the city. together with the fact
that the SYMPTOMS had not until today
shown ANYTHING OF yellow fever, accounts
for tho delay in recognizing the character
OF the sickness. The man says he has been
sick over month. He was employed ty
Richardson x Goddard as boiler maker,
having worked for them for four months
past SATURDAY. week he went on spree
and the following Tuesday afternoon gave
himself several compound cathartlc li.is.
which pulled him down so he had to be
taken to the hospital. During his drunken
spree and SUBSEQUENT illness at Mrs. Con-
ners there was no one with him but two
fellow boiler makers.
The news OF the discovery OF yellow
fever Is a great surprise 10 the people
here. There is no alarm In consequence,
however. Much interest Is taken in the
news. especially in learning what outside
towns are doing The Mobile and OHIO
sends OFT through trains only from Mobile.
The authorities OF Baldwin county have
uuarantined ali trains cut OF Mobile.
Dr. Guiteras visited several sick people
TODAY and stated that there was one case
which he would see again before deciding
upon. The INST were malarial fever
The mails are coming through from coz ST
points after fumieation and the malls from
New Orleans Will be permitted TO come to-
morrow

NOT PERMITTED IN.
rHE SOUTHERN PACIFIC HELD VI.
AT THE CITY LINE.
And Persons In Quarantine An Day.
They Were Released
Last Night.

Il was we'll that the city undertook to
put on a quarantine against New Orleans
Sunday night and yesterday as owing 10
the storm in East Texas and tho conse-
quent blowing down Of the telegraph wires
the State quarantine was not put on AT
tho State line in time to intercept either
the train that arrived here Sunday night
or the one coming In over the Southern
Pacific yesterday morning.
Both these trains were stopped by the
city authorities. but the passengers on the
Sunday night train were not detained
longer than to tell those who had come
from New Orleans that they could not stop
In Houston.
The passengers ON yesterday mornings
Southern Pacific. however, Jared not so
we'll.
The local inspectors, Officers Lubbock
and Blackshear, ascertaining that there
were number OF passengers on the train
who had passed through New Orleans de-
cided to detain the entire train outside
the city limits until the local health au-
thoriues could be advised Of the situa-
ton.
Mayor Rice and City Health officer Or.
McElroy proceeded 10 the train and after
examining the passengers and finding that
large proportion OF them had come
through New Orleans It was decided to
place tho entire train. train crew and all
in quarantine.
There were two exceptions made to this
in the case OF Mrs. Cranfield, Il Houston
teacher, who In returning from her yacN-
ton trip had come through New Orleans.
and representative Of Mistrot Bros, who
had been in New Orleans on business,
These were local passengers with Hous-
ton as their destination, but Just why they
should have been permitted to come In,
while others, no more exposed to danger,
should be denied the right To pass through.
is one OF those things hard to understand.
city Health Physician McElroy was
asked the reason and he simply replied
that these people had clean bills OF health.
The mail was the only thing on the
train that was allowed TO come in
AS a means Of compensating the detained
passengers In a measure for the hard
ship imposed upon them, Mayor Rice, on
returning to the city, sent them out their
breakfast.
It was decided during the day that these
passengers would be brought In at night
to catch the outgoing trains. TO which they
would be transferred and permitted to go
on to their various destinations
AS the State quarantine was established
In time to intercept last nights train the
local inspectors were called in.
The State quarantine will be effective
today at the State line. after which the
passenger service between here and New
orleans will be discontinued by the vol
untary act OF the railroad authorities.
