SMALLPOX, Diphtheria and Cholera in
Chicago,

CHICAGO, January 25.-A horrible case
of neglect and disease came under the
observation of the Health Department
to-day. Mr. and Mrs. Feide and FIVE
children, living in soualid tenement
house on the North Side, we're recently
stricken down with smallpox. The
parents recovered quickly, but the
children were more seriously i'll, and
last night one of them died, after two
weeks, suffering without medical at
tendance. The other four are in a
critical condition. The facts were first
made known to the officers, through
neighbors who lived above them, max,
ing arrangements with the undertaken
for the lnterment, and they were at
once moved to the proper place.
smallpox, ,diphtheria, and diseases
which in summer would probably be-
come Asiatic cholera, are increasing
materially the city mortality. There
seems to be no well established cause
for the unusual amount of sickness,
and physicians are puzzled by it.

Charlie Ross Once More Discovered.
Especial Dispatch to the Euourer1

LONDON, ONT, January 25.-Charlie
Ross has been found once more. A
farmer residing in the township of
Allborough, named Peter B. Nc
Callum, came to st. Thomas Yesterday
and reported to the Chief of Police
that he had succeeded in finding Char
lie Ross, after tracing him for several
months. McCallum states he las in
disputable evidence that he has the.
child. He traced Charlie tppta the
suspension bridge to Tascarora where
he has resided for some time among
the lndiansi .AsAks,. ,e,s~@.
The boy vast left there by a white
man or wonianl who. stated th& they
would have to kill the boy unless the
Indians adopted him, as they were com.
PEELED to get rid of him. McCallum
claims to have possession of the clothes
which Charlie wore when he was stol>
en-, and those which he wore when left
with the Tuscaroras.
The alleged discoverer furthermore
states that he has had correspondence
with Mr.. Ross which establishes the
child's identity beyond peradventure,
and offers to pay the expenses of the
child's conveyance to Philadelphia.
Whether the real Charlie has been cap
tured or not remains to be seen.

From the New York Times Jan. ".
Various reports have been recently
published throughout the country con-
cerning the construction of an entirely
new and direct line of railroad from New
York TO Chicago and by an independent
and newly organized corporation. While
these reports have not been without
foundation in fact, they have been in
complete in detail and misleading in
statement. A visit to the offices OF the
Continental Railway company, situated
at No. 5 Cortlandt street, yesterday re-
suited in the procuring Of the first au-
thentic statement of facts which has yet
been made.
The Continental Railway company is
a corporation existing unnder special
charters granted by the legislature of
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois and
Iowa. and under general charters from
the States of Ohio and Indiana. granting
authority to build continuous line OF
railway from the Hudson river, opposite
New York, to the Missouri river, opposite
Omaha with extensions connecting Chi
cago and st. Louis with the East. This
line has been surveyed the entire length,
and several millions of dollars have been
spent in the actual work of grading. Ar

The ordnance which gives the sslii.
more and Ohio railroad company tbs
right TO pass through this city
over the route Of ito choice, . complete
synopsis Of which was contained in
Wednesday mornings REGISTER, is now
the law Of the city and only awaits the
approval of the officers OF the com.
pany.
- Some objection has been made to the
ordinance by the local representatives
of the road. For instance, the provi-
sion granting the right OF the road to
cross Twentieth street, is made 10 hinge
on the consent OF q firm who is said to
be at this time at law with the company
This, We are informed, was not the in
tention Of Council, and it can be reme-
died by that body at its next meeting.
The road may need to get consent ofthe
Whitaker Company, but Council may
provide that this consent may be oh
tanned either by negotiation or due pro
cess Of law, Just rs The consent oil any
property owner is obtained; that is, ii
the Whitaker Company has any legal
control over the ground in question.
The next objection urged is found in
the concluding section OF the ordinance.
First, the privileges and rights granted
by tho city 10 the company may be for
ieited to the city, should the company
violate the contract in any particular.
That, it strikes US, is neither an unusual
nor unreasonable provision. II the
company violates the contract, it for
feits the benefits OF that contract, that
is all. This section further ~stipulatcs
that nothing is granted except what Is
set forth in the ordinance; that is, moth
ing goes by implication. 1t seems to US
that this plain mode Of speech is a merit
in any law.
But the greatest stress is laid by the
representatives of the Company on the
reservation by the city OF the right to
amend this ordinance at any time and
by proper penalties to enforce the same.
1t should be borne in mind, however,
that the same section provides that no
amendment shall hereafter be made by
Council which shall deprive the Compa-
ny OF any of the rights and privileges
conferred by the ordinance.
1t occurs to US that if the case is here
properly stated-and this is the
way we read the last section
OF the ordinance-the company is not
left, as one OF its representatives puts it,
at the caprice OF any future City Council
What rights are conferred by this obi
nance are rights OF which the company
cannot be despoilel by the Council al
any time in the future; they could only
be forfeited by the company violating
in some manner the contract.
We do not know how President GAR
RETr may look at the matter, but We know
we express the hopes OF the best friends
of the B. & o. r. r. in this city when
we express the hope that he may feel it
to the interest OF that com any to accept
this ordinance, with the amendment
suggested in regard to Twentieth street,
aud a. once enter upon the active work
Of binding the road in contemplation.
