today and tomorrow, during which time
the Little Sisters of the Poor in charge OF
the above Home will bold their pound
party. This institution supports at present

dstes back forty years. 1t started in Brit
tany, and is now spread over the whole

The Little Sisters leave their country and

vote their lives to the nursing Of the poor
and infrn, with no compensation what
ever. Heretofore the citizens OF Richmond
and vicinity have contributed literally to-
wards the support OF the institution, and
the Little Sisters hope that the public will
respond Likewise to their present urgent
needs.
Those who do not desire to visit the
Home can notify the Sisters OF their inten-
ton 10 contribute, and they will call on
them and gladly receive anything offered.

Exciting Scenes at the Funeral OF q
Smallpox Victim.

CoIoRED PEOPLE EXPOSED TO THE PLAGUE.
From the Baltimore American to-day.
There were no new cases of smallpox yester-
day. but two Of the patients died late Wednes-
day night One was Eddie Saunders. cOlOred
boy, at the quarantine hospital. who was re-
moved from the house No. 1872 Chestnut alley.
The boy had gotten almost well. when he was
taken with paralysis, from the disease. He was
attacked first in the right leg and then it ex-
tended to the arm and returned to the left leg,
and then went to the heart and killed him.
The other case was that of Isaac GOllsbOrOugh
eOlOred. aged 3D. Years, who died at No. 100
Chestnut alley. The man had refused to go
to the hospital. because the societies he belonged
to were caring for him. Late ON Wednesday
night word was sent to the health department
that GOldsborOugh was dying and word was
sent to Sanitary Inspector Brown who went TO
the house early yesterday morning. He found
the man had died. and that he had been laid out.
He asked the old woman who had done it. and
she replied that man had come late the night
before and dressed Isaac and laid him out for
burial and left again. She did not know the
man. MIR. Brown went UP stairs and found that
the body was in frghtful state of decomposi-
have been true. for had the body been dressed
after death it would have fallen to pieces. He
asked when the body was going to be buried,
and she said she did not know,
that the societies to which ne belonged
(Hod Carriers, No. !, and Manassas Lodge
of Odd Fellows were going to do that.
Mr.. Brown reported to DR.. Steuart, health
commissioner, and he ordered Sanitary Inspec-
tors Brown and Fitzpatrick, to take the city un-
dertaker and go at once and bury the body. As
they left the health department Mr.. Brown saw
Captain Earharht, and asked him to send a
police officer to the house to keep order, as he
feared trouble Soon after the officials left an
undertaken entered the health office and asked
for permit to bury the dead man. Mr.. Carter
asked him If he had laid out the man, and he
replied No; that he had been told by those in
the house that GoldsborOugh, just before he died
on Wednesday. had gotten up out of bed and
dressed himself in his best clothes, and then laid
down and died" The permit was not given
him. When the health officials reached the house
and made known their business. the people
i'm the upper portion Of the house declared that
the body should not be moved. In an incredibly
short space Of time a large crowd of colored
people gathered about the house. and for time
the two sanitary inspectors and Mr.. Kerchner,
superintendent OF the Western City cemetery.
thought themselves In danger. The crowd pro-
tested against the removal Of the body, aud cried
ont that ''lf it had been q white person the
removal would not have taken place." Every
moment the crowd swelled. and became more
demonstratiye. The health ofhcials looked for

On Tuesday evening last seven young men
living on the Ottawa river, in Canada, started on
skates to attend religious meeting at Gate
man Point. When opposite Kettle Island they
came to bad piece of ice. Several of them
fell through and in attempting to save their
comrades the whole party were in danger of
drowning. At this critical moment two Young
daughters Of Superintendent O'Neal. of the
Dominion police pushed their fathers boat over
the ice to the broken ice, and succeeded in res
cuing the young men. One Of them was utterly
exhausted and senseless when taken out of the
water. The brave girls will not be in want of
beaux in the future.
