Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1879-02-28

A YOUNG girl attired in u faded calico
dress, her shoulders protected after a
fashion 10y a very thin shawl, and hay
ing on her head an old sun-bonnet, en-
tered the Hammond street station
house yesterday afternoon and asked
permission of Lieut.. Burke to stop
there for awhile. She gave her name
as Hattie White, and age rs l6 years
She stated that when , years old she
had been adopted by Robert Brothers,
Il grocer now living i'll Alexandria, o.,
and he had when she was able to work
used her in II capacity of n small SER
want, and afterwards rs housekeeper.
Latterly her place was filled bya grown
up daughter of Brothers, and within
two days past he brought Hattie White
TO the river bank and placed her on
board of u boat bound for Cincinnati.
She arrived here yesterday, friendless,
destitute, and utterly bewildered by the
strange sounds and appearance of this,
the first large city She had been in.
Some one had then directed her To the
station-house as n place where she
could find shelter for the night. Sergt.
Thornton escorted her to the Home for
the Friendless, where she. is now Gin
citmdH Commercial.

The Terrible Plague.

A recent letter from st. Petersburg
says of the plague in Russia: IL has
spread in the southern provinces 1T u
rapid rate. Thousands upon thou
sands have died with it within the
last five days. Victims when taken
with it, only live about two hours
and turn black all over. All of the
physicians ordered to the care Of the
sick have died within "A hours after
their arrival. Corpses are burned and
so are the houses in which people die.
Whole towns have been laid waste with
in the past few days.
The government has placed Gordon
of soldiers around tue infected prov
inces so that the people cannot get out
and spread the disease. Anyone who
attempts to break through the Gordon is
shot dead on the spot. The people are
beginning to feel uneasy all over the
empire. The government does not
allow the news to get out; all reports
are suppressed; and nobody can get
out OF the empire. The Austrian and
German governments have placed a
Gordon of solders all along the frontiers,
preventing persons from entering their
territory from Russia. All persons from
Russia by railroad are stopped at the
frontier and detained twenty days in
tho quarantine, their baggage and
clothing disinfected and if they prove
all right after lapse of twenty days,
they are permitted to cross the border.
During the twenty days of quarantine,
the people are housed in large sheds
and barns without any Accommodations
or comforts. OF course the knowledge
of this fact keeps people from travelling.
There is no possibility OF slipping out
anywhere. The government is doing
all in its power to prevent the disease
from spreading, but if it is not
stayed then, the victims may fall by the
thousands daily. 1t is much worse
than the yellow fever was III the south
last summer. II was brought by u
Tartan soldier month ago.
