FREE FROM FEVER.
Passengers and Crew of the Proteus
Put Through Test.

New York, July 31.-The steamer
Proteus direct from fever-infested New
Orleans was declared at quarantine to-
day to be absolutely free from symp-
toms of yellow fever. Few vessels
even from southern ports, where there
is practically no fever, have such
fine record, as the Proteus with 81 pas
sengers and a crew of 72 men, made
under searching thermometer tests to-
day. This excellent condition is largely
due to the care taken by the officers OF
the boat at New Orleans where no mem
bers of the crew were allowed on shore,
four cabin passengers were refused pas
sage because they came hom Italian
quarters at New Orleans and all steer
age passengers were rejected. The
Louisiana board of health conducted
this examination.
As an extreme precaution the Proteus
was held at quarantine until 1 O'Clock
the hour when five days from the port
of New Orleans had expired.
A second thermometer examination
will be then made. This period is the
time limit for yellow fever cases to de-
VelOp.

ERIE EXCEEDS IT'S RECORD.
Laws More Track This Year Than in
ANY Previous Year.

The maintenance of way forces of the
Erie are now engaged in laying $50
miles of 80 pound steel rails on the
main track. A larger mileage has never
been laid in any one year before. The
Erie has always been noted for its good
track. and the management finds that it
is necessary to use q heavier rail on ac
count of the weight of the several hun
dred new engines that have been pur-
chased in the last two years. Much of
the rail being removed has only been
in track four or five years and will be
used on branch lines.
