Into the City Treasury Yesterday,
Thus Settling One of
the Cases.

One Of the packing house cases
which have been prominently before
the public for the past week, came tc
a close yesterday morning, when Man
ager Arthur w. Davis, of Armour &
Co., paid over to Marshal. Schad the
sum of 500 and costs, the amount Oi
the fine assessed against him in the
municipal court for having tainted
and decayed meats in cold storage al
the company's plant.
It was thought there was a prob
ability of the cases being carried to a
higher court, but the action Of the
Armour representative shows that an
appeal was not in view. Manager J.
D. Carroll, Of Swift & Co., who was
also fined 800 on the same charge
has not yet settled his fine, but he
signified his intention to Marshal
Schad yesterday of doing so and thus
concluding the case against him.
Manager Davis Again Arrested.
Manager Davis Of the Armour Pack
ing Company was again arrested last
night by the city authorities, this time
upon the charge of selling tainted
meats to Mrs. 3. Coulson. 1t is under

New York, June 19.-Dr. A. H. Doty,
health oficer for the port OF New
York. said yesterday that the new
quarantine regulations affecting Cuban
ports will go into effect on Saturday
next and viii be enforced to the let
ter Under these regulations all pas
sengers on steamships from Havana
and other Cuban ports must on arri-
val produce certificates showing that
they are immune from yellow fever.
Their failure to do so will mean that
they will be held for observation until
five days have elapsed since their de-
parture from Cuba.
The new regulations are intended
10 keep yellow fever out Of our south
ern states" said DR.. Doty. For in
stance, a person with the fever in rs
system may come from Havana in three
days, and IL allowed to land, can, by
taking a fast train. be in New Orleans
before the expiration Of the fve-day
limit Hence, the necessity OF keep
ing all but fnmunes under observation
for that period. New York is, of
course, in no danger, for there are no
yellow fever mosquitoes here. 1t is
different IN the South, however. We
have got TO protect that section of the
country and that is exactly what the
new regulation is intended to accom-
plish."

THIS NEGRO WAS
BENT UPON
ROBBERY
Seen at Residence of Mrs. N. A.
Smith, and Did Not Move
Until Ladies CalIsi.

A tall negro, Of a ginger-cake color,
was evidently bent upon robbing the
home of Mrs. NJ, A. Smith, at the cor.
ner Of Wright and Spring streets,
Sunday night, and would no doubt
have made an attempt but for the fact
that Mrs. and Miss Smith heard his
footsteps on the ground, and a few
minutes later saw him at one Of the
windows. The negro did not know
that he had been heard walking in
the yard and was gazing through the
window with the evident intention of
sizing up the house and beginning
operations.
Just as he reached the window Miss
Smith also appeared there, but the
negro, seeing that he had been detect
ed, boldly stood in his tracks, even
after the young lady had ordered him
from the premises, and did not make
any move towards taking his depart
ure until the young lady called to her
mother to call Mr.. Gonzalez, residing
near. He then moved on, jumped the
fence and disappeared.
1t was just about IL o'clock when
the negro was discovered in the yard.
At this time Carl Cushman was pass
ing along West Wright street, near
the Smith home, when he saw a negro
approaching at fast gait. The young
man did not know what had occurred,
but stood where he was until the
negro passed. The latter did not see
Mr.. Cushman until he was within a
few yards of him, and when he had
passed, he redoub,ed his speed and
was soon lost to sight running to-
wards Palafox street.
Mr.. Cushman upon reaching the cor
ner learned that the negro he had met
had just left the yard of Mrs. Smith.
He obtained a good view of the negro
and would recognize him If he saw
him again.
