NO FEVER IN TEXAS.
Dallas, Texas, Sept. 30.-The
official declaration of Health Officer
Swearingen to-day that the suspicious
case at Houston was not yellow feve
j has been almost immediately followed
j by^the raising of the extreme quar
! antine measures which have been in

; towns below Corsicana. By to night
I train service within the state will
I have resumed something like its nor
: mal proportions and the hundreds, of
railroad employes now out of employ?
ment will be afforded an opportunity !
of returning to work. Everybodv !
seems to have recovered confidence j
all?t once, au? to-night every town J

Tho Disabled Condition of
Our Naval Dry Docks.
New York, Sept. 30 -A special j
meeting of the naval duck board was '
held to day at the Brooklyn navy j
yard to consider the report as to the
disabled conditions of all but one of
the timber structures owned by the
government. A complete examina?
tion by the engineers has revealed j
the above startling information, and
the only exception is the timber dock
on Puget Sound. As the timber
docks prae*ical!y do ali the work of
the navy, the stone structures being
used for the smaller vessels, the de?
partment regards the existing condi?
tions with considerable apprehension,
and it will be the duty of the dock
boards to report on the subject aud
suggest the best way for repairing
the docks None of the members of
the board would talk for publication
to day, but it is understood that an
estimate of the cost of repairs, to
gether with the recommendation to
proceed at once with the work, will be
forwarded immediately to the depart?
ment Commodore Bunce, the com?
mandant of the station, is president
of the board
Engineers have estimated that it
will cost at least ?500,000 to put the
timbi"?* docks in condition, and the
dock board is expected to recommend
this money be spent on the structures
at New York, League Island, Norfolk
and Port Royal. There is a separate
appropriation for dock No. 3 at the
Brooklyn yard.
