Lumber Burned.

About seven o'clock Saturday
evening one of the lumber piles on
the dock of f. w. Gilcbrist, near
the mouth of the river took fire
supposed to have caught from the
sparks Of q passing tug-and gave
the fire companies about all they
wanted to attend to for some time.
The lumber was quite dry, and
made a big blaze, threatening to
communicate to other lumber, and
destroy that also. 1t was only by
the greatest exertions of the fire
department and citizens, aided
by the three tugs, that the flames
were at last got under control, and
left in charge of Engine No. 2,
while No. l was taken to her house
and kept in readiness for action in
case of an emergency. About 50,-
0v0 feet of lumber was destroyed,
and Mr.. Gilchrist loses about 5000,
including damage to dock.

SMALLPOX News.

From the Review we get the fol-
lowing additional news in regard
to the smallpox in Altoona county.
The Supervisor of Altoona town.
ship, Mr.. Adam Scarlet, was first
informed of the matter Sunday
night, and very early Monday
morning he convened the Board Of
Health and took action in regard
thereto. The Board Immediately
dispatched Mr.. David Mulholland
to the afflicted spot to note the con-
dition of the patients, provide for
their wants and comfort as far as
possible, and then report progress.
Mr.. M. removed the patients to a
lumber camp near by, and arranged
things as comfortable for them as
the surrounding circumstances
would allow. He, then, finding it
impossible to bury the body of
Brouthaker set fire to the building,
and burned it and its contents. The
services of DR.. Shelton, Of Alpena,
were secured to care for the af-
fiicted ones continually, until they
may recover. He will remain with
them day and night.
LATER.
The lumber camp to which the
smallpox victims were removed,
caught fire yesterday and was
burned to the ground. DR.. Shell
ton succeeded in getting the pa
tients out all right, and there being
no other house or shanty near by
to which they could be removed,
they were taken to cedar swamp,
where he built a shelter over them
out of bark, and arranged things
as best he could with the limited
conveniences at hand. ODell and
Potts. who left the house and went
into the woods to escape the small
pox, at the time Broutbaker was
about to die, came back to head
quarters Wednesday all broke out
with the disease. Mrs. O'Dell and
babe have been exposed, and we
learn the baby has come down with
the malady. We further learn that
another family, living near by
O'DelPs, have been exposed to the
disease, and are not allowed to go
outside the yard surrounding their
dwelling. The township authori-
ties are using every precaution to
keep the contagion from spreading
further, and will look after the
hest comfort and care of the pa
tients, possible.

The Judgeship.

It is somewhat amusing to see
with what thought and forethought
the Review man writes in regard
to the Circuit Judgeship. He is
very DESTROYS that everything in re-
gard to the selection Of a Circuit
Judge should be conducted with
all fairness, and that "the best man"
may be elected but at the same
time he wants that "best man" to
be positively outside of Alpena
county," stating that Altoona county
has candidate "whose claim to
the Office is more just than the
clamorous ospirants at Alpena."
Oh, such high reasoning. What a
noble, thoughtful and high-minded
idea, advanced by the Review, that
"the question is Of too valuable i'm
portance to be made q party ques-
ton in any portion Of the circuit,
and 1t is hoped that . united eff
fort will be made to nominate and
elect the right man" but that fright
man" must be . resident Of Alcons
county, or "positivsly ontside Of
Alpeps county"

The entertainment at Alpine
Hall. on Thursday evening will be
something worth hearing. The
speaker is we'll known in this city
through bis brother, the Rev. A.
B. Allen. Though at times a Wis
itor to our city and under the most
pressing invitations to speak, yet
he has never before consented to
come before this public. Many
have been anxious to hear him.
The opportunity will now be given.
His subject is to he "Some things
/ learned at the Centennial" The
Rev. gentleman was on the grounds
at Philadelphia, for six weeks and
since he was with one Of the State
officials, he was afforded the very
best Of opportunities to observe
and learn things not accessible to
every one. To hear him will be
like going there and to go there
was, in some sense, like going all
over the world. 1t will make
scenes fresh and vivid to those who
visited the grand exhibition and 1t
will serve to paint the most graphic
pictures on the minds of such as
were not present at the show
That the lecture may come within

cents will be asked for admission.
