RIGID QUARANTINE.
Henry County Sets KniGhtstOwn
Strictly or to Itself.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW CASTLE, Ind, July 1.-THE Henry
County Board of Health met in special ses-
sion to-day to take action regarding the
smallpox situation at Knightstown. As 2
dozen of the towns OF the county have been
maintaining individual guarantees at great
expense, it was thought to be a matter of
economy to establish one quarantine which
would do the work Of all. The board de-
cided to establish line of quarantine ex-
tending from the Rush county line begin
ming one mile east of Raysville, north to
Stone Quarry Mills and west to the Han
cock county line. This protects all the
towns of the county and still does not cut
off the immediate neighborhood from the
town of Knightstown. The officials were
very lOath to take the action they did to-
day, they feel that Knightstown is I'M
dergOing a very severe trial, but they con-
sdered that such action was necessary for
the protection of the county and State.
In connection with the smallpox matter
it may be stated that New Castle has no
cases of the disease and has not had in
twenty years, although the report has been
circulated that there were cases Of the dis
ease here.

LAST NEGRO LEAVES.
Decatur Does Not Accord Them the
Right to Live and Work.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
DECATUR, Ind, July 12.-The last negro
has left this city. His departure was
caused by the anti-negro feeling here.
About month ago mob OF fifty men
drove out all the negroes, to the number
of seven. who were then making this city
their home. Since that time the feeling
against the negro race has been intense,
so much so that an anti-ngro society was
organized here. The colored man who has
just left the city came about three weeks
ago, and since that time has received many
threatening letters. When he appeared on
the streets he was insulted and jeered at.
For the past two weeks he has been on
the streets only once or twice, and then
he was accompanied by his employer, the
proprietor Of the Burt Hotel. An attack
was threatened and he made a hasty exit.
The ant-neSroites in the city declare that,
as the city is now cleared OF negroes, they
VIII keep II so. and the importation OF any
more Will undoubtedly result in serious
trouble.
