During the past three days two vessels
arrived with smallpox among the steerage
passengers. They are detained at quaran-
tine and the infected passengers sent to
Wards Island.
The sailing ship Europe, from Bremen,
arrived on the twenty first with 4lS steer
age passengers. During the voyage thir-
teen deaths occurred from the scOurge.
Twenty three additional cases were on
board. The ship Athena, also from Bremen,
arrived on the twenty-secOnd, with 474 steer
age passengers. Nineteen passengers and
two sailors died at sea; six passengers have
died at quarantine, and twenty passengers.
and two sailors have been sent TO the hos
pital. The coroner has been invited to in
vestigate the case of these vessels. The
diseases on the Athena consisted of small
pox, scarlet fever and measles-maiority
of deaths being children, from the latter
disease. The impression that the mortality
was Occasioned by an inferior quality Of
food, is pronounced groundless, the captain
saying that all provisions put on board the
ship at Bremen were thoroughly examined.
The captain seems to think the disease
was fostered by the dirty habits of the emil
| grants, who were chiefly Poles. Nothing
| short of physical violence could induce
them to wash, and the men deliberately ate
| the soap furnished them, thinking it was
! cheese.

vided they can be guided solely by evil
| dence, was put in force in the trial Of an
| alleged hotel thief to day.
| Judge Blatchford has granted the writ of
