This showing, Mr.. Hornblower said. did
justice in part to Mr.. Mcdonald, and he
thought It ought 60 be given to the public
Mr. Tracy, Ia reply to Mr.. Hornblower,
said that his remarks at previous meeting
relative Co who taught Mr.. McDonald's class
in the High School had been misunderstood,
and the report of them had contained the
error. He had said that Mr.. Adams had that
part of Mr.. McDonalds class that had Latin.
He had found since that Mr. BIier has part
of the studies of the class in charge in the
junior grade, and Mr.. Adams has part. Mr..
Tracy said as for doing justice, about which
Mr.. Hornblower was so anxious it was
now permissible to say that before any
charges were preferred against Mr.. Med Donald,
and prior to the failure of his class, that
teacher had informed him Che not then being
in the Board, being under urgent request to
ELL the vacancy occasioned by the resignation
of Mr. Knights) that Mr.. Hornblower had
fled au application in behalf of an Ell Dorado
applicant for Mr.. McDonald's position, and
that Mr.. Hornblower had stated that the APP
plicant had five votes in the Board.
As to the statement read by Mr..
HornbloweT, that was his property,
and he could do as he pleased with it.
He was very glad to know it would benefit
Mr.. Mcdonald, and place him in better
position hefore the public. MIR. Mcdonald
only taught the class arithmetic the failure
in that branch was the only question the
Board passed upon. 1t decided that the class
had failed But the Board should remember
that the statement read by Mr. Hornblower
if it shows anything, shows that the scholars
have had a fair show and just credits in the
High School, and that it completely refutes
the idea thrown out some time ago that when
Mr.. McDonald's class got into the High
School it would not have fair show.
Mr.. Hornblower replied that as to the Pc
tition for MIR. McDonald's place by the FL
Dorado applicant, it was a petition handed
him by Senator Brown, OF 81 Dorado, with
request to present it. It was his duty to pre-
sent it, and he did. When ne filed it. he
joi,ingly remarked to Mr.. Landes that he
heard there were FIVE votes for the applicant.
Il was mere joke. He had supported Mr..
Mcdonald, and had not sought his removal.
Mr.. Landes said lie understood the remark
of MIR. Hornblower as to the FIVE votes to be
joke at the time.
Mr.. Tracy said Mr.. Mcdonald told it to
MIN IN SOD9F earnest.
Mr.. Laudes-'F Yes; it was no joke to him,
though L told him Mr.. Hornblower had
spoken in that way"
The Board then took up the proof-reading
Of its new rules, approved them, and ad-
iourned at the conclusion of that very
prosy and lengthy labor.
THAT SMALLPOX Casa representative
of the RECORD UNION visited the neighbor-
hood of the small pox case last evening, and
ascertsined that the statement published
yesterday morning was correct. Mr.. and
Mrs. Clark, in whose house the case is To-
Gated, emphaticaly state that no member of
the family has been outside the gate since the
quarantine was established, and that no per
son except the attending physician and veg
etable peddler has come within the yard,
beyond the one or two before referred to, who
went away as soon as their attention was
called to the flags, and were in no possible
manner exposed to the disease. These facts
are confirmed by n. j. Toll, the nearest
neighbor to Mr.. Clark, and whose statements
can be entirely relied upon. He lives imme-
diately by the quarantined premises, and
states that with the exception of last Mon
day, when he was one of the Judges of the
school election, he has been at his house
ever since the restrictions were placed
upon the family by the Board of Health,
and aided them all he could during
their isolation, by doing errauds, etc.,
and he asserts that the utmost caution
has been constantly observed to comply with
the requirements made to prevent spreading
of the disease. The provisions for the family
are brought and set inside of the front gate,
and after the delivery man has left one of the
inmates of the house takes them in. In like
manner the vegetable man leaves whatever is
wanted at quite distance from the house,
ia pan placed there to receive it, and which
is always carefully located by the family at
such points from day to day so that the wind
will protect the visitor from any possible liza
biiitY MIR. Toll also states that he believes
the Board of Health have acted with the ut
most caution and care in the matter that
was possible without posting and keeping
guards around the premises. This could not
be done by the Board, even if thought advis-
able, for the reason that it has no means
whatever at its control, and even had to
apply to the Board of Supervisors for sup
port OF the family during the quarantine. To
prevent any possible question az to the color
of the flags hung in front Of the place, two new
ones of positive yellow were put ont yeater-
day. in place of the orapge-colored
ones previously displayed The case of
smallpox which is the object of so
much attention and anxiety is pro-
crossing well. 1t is mild case and simply
of varioloid form. The general health of the
patient is not materially affected by it.
1t is quite probable that no other members
of the family will take the disease from her.
as Mrs. Clark has heretofore had the small
pox, and the other members of the family had
been recently vaccinated with satisfactory
results.
SUDDEN DKATH.-William Kleinsorge, a
member of the firm of Lindley Il Co., and
who resides at Fourteenth and l. streets,
died last evening very suddenly of heart dis
ease. He had been under treatment for that
disease at times during the past FIVE years,
but was in his usual health last evening, and
at about o'clock locked the doors through
the house as usual, prior to retiring. aid then
went into room where his little children
were sleeping. Immediately upon entering 1t
he fell upon the bed in which they were ~
! ing and commenced breathing very heavily
and loud. The children at first supposed he
was doing so to play with them, but his con-
dition was soon discovered, and In less than
twenty minutes he was dead. The deceased
| was well known in the city. He was 81
years of age and Of German birth.
