QUARANTINE
MAY Be RAISED.
Colored Voters at New Castle
May be Given Chance
to Vote.

New Castle, Del. November a.
The colored men who have beer
quarantined in the Clayton street
houses may be able to vote to.mor
row. The Board of Health at its
meeting tonight may decide to raise
the quarantine. The situation is be.
ing considered by the Board OF Health
from a non-partlsan stand point. The
Board does not intend to run any
risks and to-day DR.. Andrews and DR..
Kuntz will make an investigation OF
the houses. At special meeting Of
the Board tonight the physicians
will make their report, Upon the
strength Of that report will depend
the raising or the continuing Of the
quarantine.
The Board OF Health held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon with all
members present except Mr.. Munson.
On motion Of Mr. Bross, Dr. Kuntz
and DR.. Andrews were instructed to
make a tour of the infected houses
and to report the result OF such a
visit to the Board at a meeting TO-
night.
II any members of the families
quarantined are found to be away
from home their names are TO be re-
ported.
Upon motion Of Mr. Bross the
Board decided to arrest all persons
running at large from the houses
while the quarantine is established.
On motion Of Mr.. Toman the sec.
rotary was ms tructed to notify the
magistrate at Christiana that Levi
Starkey, colored, broke the quaran-
tine by leaving his home near Hare
Corner. = Starkey was vaccinated by
DR.. Kuntz but since then has been
husking corn near Chris:iana.
He has not been inside the h0us
since he broke the quarantine. He
stands a poor show Of being allowed
to vote.
The Board of Health officers pur-
pose having Stnrkey arrested should
he come to the city. The police OIL
ticer will have white elephant on
his hands. Starkey cannot be ar.
rested without warrant. There is
no jail in which to conhne him. The
Board OF Health has no right TO
place him in the building occupied
by the sheriff and his family. The
police officers have nothing to do
with people living outside Of New
Castle. and the Board of Health has
no jurisdiction outside of the city.
But to the credit Of the members
OF The Board OF Health it must be
said that they are doing their duty
and politics take no part, They
have been accused wrougfully by
some people. When the quarantine
was established Superintendent
Black burn told Mr.. Jemison to put
it on for twenty days. The Board
secured the services liDr. Andrews
and he infor med the Board that
there was 10. danger after thirteen
days. The quarantine was estab-
lshed for fifteen davs aud the time
is up tonight. The members Of the
Board have worked zealously to
keep down the spread OF the disease.
There are eight persons in the
Emergency Hospital at Farnhurst
from here aud forty persons are
quarantined, of that number prob
ably fifteen are voters. But the
Board pays no attention 10 the
political status of the case. Far
better to have the men Guaranteed
for u month than to spread the
disease.

very large congregation yesterday

Bishop Cranston chose his text
John xIX.5O, ut is Finished The
subject being THE Consistency of
Jesus Bishop Cranston said IN
part that God thoughts are not as
our thoughts. nor HIS ways as our
ways. The patient and LOVING.
answering consistency with which
Jesus went ON to the very finish OF
his redeeming work is to NE the
most wonderful part. Many noble
undertakings have been begun well
and carried almost to the zenith of
accomplishment and have failed, but
not 50 with Jesus. He has finished
the work. If you do not accept this
salvation it is your own fault.
