GREAT ALARM AT HOPKINS.
Community Il Threatened With a
Quarantine.

Quarantine.
Minneapolis, Aug. Is. = Secretary
Bracken and other representatives of
the state board of health are greatly
exercised over the discovery of singu-
lar. most alarming and almost unex-
plainable condition of things at Hop
kins, station on the Minneapolis & St.
Louis road about six miles west of Min
neapolis. DR.. Catherine A. Burns,
health commissioner of Hopkins, claims
to have discovered twenty-seven cases
of scarlet fever in five dwellings. 1t
is said that this unfortunate condition
is attributable to the incompetence of
physicians Of that place. 1t is also re-
ported that the disease has been COM
municated to considerable number of
people in Minneapolis. The state board
of health IS acting upon information
furnished by DR.. Burns. The latter
maintains with absolute positiveness
that it is scarlet fever. The local ply
sicians, 1t appears, do not agree with
this diagnosis of the cases. DR.. Brack-
en- seems disposed to accept DR.. Burns
diagnosis. The state board will prob
ably establish close quarantine.
