Precautions In New York.

New York. July 26.-Health Officer Doty gave out the following statement this afternoon regarding the yellow fever sit uation at Colon and New Orleans:
 sI have received no official notice that one or more cases of yellow fever were removed from the steamship Seguranca before her departure from Colon on July 22 If this disease is found on board when the vessel referred to reaches the New York quarantine station the pa tient or patients will be removed to the Swlnburne Island hospital, and all per- sons on board whose temperatures are above the normal register will be re- moved to Hoffman Island for observa- ton. The present regulations, however, are sufficient to furnish full protection.
 All vessels arriving from New Orleans are now subject to inspection at this sta- ton. and will be for the present treated in the same way as vessels arriving from Colon. There Is no danger whatever that an outbreak of yellow fever in the north would be followed by any serious results to the public, principally for the reason that the variety of mosquito which trans mits the disease is not found in this sec- tions of the country. Besides, the pres ent treatment of an outbreak of the dis ease is simple and effectNe.''

A petition has been circulated by the
inmates asking Sheriff Lucas to either
provide heat for the comfort of the
signers or else to turn them out so
that they can keep warm. Consider

that the rules governing the institution
are very strict and confining.

in the Office with his hands encased in
heavy nittens and his ears covered
with heavy ear muffs.

the condition of the boiler, which is an
old one which was badly wrecked by
an explosion a year or so ago but have

this morning and the Jail will be
equipped with them temporarily until

WAS NOT HIS CASE
DR.. Keith's Defense in the Doyle Mall
practice Case.

The trial of the $1,000 damage suit
of A. Doyle against DR.. H. H. Keith
for malpractice is being heard in the
district court today
In May of last year Doyle and Ed
Harris became involved in fight and
Harris stabbed Doyle in the side with
a knife, the blade penetrating one Of
his lungs Doyle was taken to the Of
flee of DR.. Keith, where he was given
first first aid by DR.. c. B. Cost and
afterwards taken to the Keith hos
pftaI where he remained for several
weeks. The wound did not heal and
he was afterwards taken to Stormont
hospital where an operation was per
formed removing portion of several
ribs among other things. The petition
recites the fact that the second opera
ton was made necessary for the rea-
son that the treatment which he re-
ceived at the Keith hospital was care
less and unskillful, ermitting the
wound to become infected. DR.. Keith
claims that Doyle never was his pa
tient and that the work complained Of
was done by DR.. Cost and that if it was
improperly done that it is not his fault.
but the fault of DIR. Cost. The trial
has been on for two days and the case
will probably go to the jury some time
this afternoon.
