1t will be remembered that few months
ago the shoe store Of J. S. Snyder, ut
Front and Locust streets, was broken into
by darkey who was discovered, but who
managed to escape after dropping all of
his plunder. Carson Devan, Columbia
colored man, had been in the company Of
the cracksman before the store was en-
tered and he conveyed the information
t" Officer Rodenhauser, which led to
the discovery. Dcvan was subse-
quently arrested but released SOON after,
as it appeared he had no hand in the busi-
ness. Early last evening Devan approach
ed Officer ROdenlauser and informed him
that the man who committed the robbery
was in town and located his stopping
place. Rodenhauser went to the place
Devan described to arrest the man, but
found him in company with two other
darkeys, who took side with him in
resisting the officer. Three to one
were heavy odds, and Rodenhauser
would probably have been overpowercd
had man not come to his assistance. AS
it was he secured the man he was looking
for and also one of the parties who resisted
him, The other escaped. Squire Gricr
gave the burglar q letter of introduction
to parties in Lancaster, who will present
him to the court officials to make his de-
fcnse, and to the other permit for a free
berth for thirty days in Castle Wcise, for
disOrderly conduct.

THE SMALLPOX CASE.
Daath of tho Emierant woman.


Yesterday we stated than an emigrant
woman was suffering from smallpox in a
small house on West Lemon street near
North Queen. Officer Flick notified DR..
G. H. Brown, secretary Of the board of
nealth, of the woman's condition, and he
then went to D. B. Landis, president of
the poor directors board, and procured an
order for the woman's admission to the
hospital. In the afternoon the doctor
visited the house where the woman
was and found that she was dead.
He examined the body and he says that it
looked very much like a mild case of
smallpox there was every indication of
that disease, although it was not possible
to tell exactly whether that was the cause
of the death. A number of persons who
saw the woman, several of whom have
had smallpox, state positively that that
was the disease which caused the woman's
death.
Coroner Mishler held an inquest on the
remains. The jury was composed Of
Officer William Titus, Reah F. Wilson,
Jacob Frankford, G. S. Pickel, John A.
Schuh and Michael Snyder. They rem
dered the following verdict '"That the
woman came to her death from privation
and neglect, having suffered from some
unknown disease, and the jury rec
ommed the coroner to remove the body.
at once and that the house be cleaned and
renovated, and the family of the deceased
removed After the inquest the body
was loaded on wagon and was hauled to
the almshouse where it was buried. The
house where the woman died was in
filthy condition, and the smell in it was
very offensive. The board of health have
given orders to have the house thoroughly
cleaned aud the persons living in it must
he removed. The terrible condition of
families. NAV have had much to do with
the wOman's death.
The deceased woman was 50 years of
age. Her name was Margaret Bailing
and she leaves a husband and one child.
