READING, April l2.-The smallpox is
still playing havoc among the inmates Of
the alms house. Especially is this the
case in the Children's Department, as
several new cases were developed To-.
day, quite a number, however, being OF
a slight character. Investigation shows
that the disease among the little ones is
the result Of gross carelessness on the
part OF some one in authority. Ii seems
that covering used OH bed
in which one OF the smallpox
patients had been lying was carelessly
thrown into the yard, which was used
by the children as a play ground. The
piece OF clothing was aiterward used 10y
the childred TO play with, they knowing
nothing as 10 what it had been previous.

was afterwards placed in wash.tub

result being that in short time n mum.

OF paupers from the building. lester.

The number of children stricken with

the Forty-Ninth Day.

twelve to-day Miss Hattie Deul, whose
remarkable feat has already made her
famous, died. Last night many OF her

this morning, was imperceptibie, and
her respiration forty five to the minute.
She has not drank any water during the
past twenty -four hours, il seeming to
make her sick, and when she last drank
she complained of nausea. Even this
morning she evinced considera.
BILE strength. and was able to
communicate to friends by the means of
her fingers aud a stick. She even
reached out and opened 4 small drawer
in a bureau which stood near the bed.
This was the beginning of the 10Th day
of her fast. She was asked il she WAS
not hungry and did not want something
TO eat. but answered in the negative 10
the questions. She had lain in semi
comotose condition all night but this
morning her mental powers were clear
and unaffected and she seemed 10 fully
comprehend what was going on about
her. her last moments were peaceful
and surrounded by friends and relatives
who had done so much for her. She
sank gradually into everlasting sleep.
The Post Mortem.
Miss Hattie Deul, who died at noon,
yesterday, was busted this afternoon.
Immediately after her death a
post mortem examination was
made by Doctor COwperthwaite, Dean
Of the homeopathy department OF the

found in her body which weighed IS
pounds. The stomach was also entirely
void OF any substance. No further
analysis has yet been made public.

SUSAh'S SHAME.
A Pretty Ohio Lass Saved from Life Of
Vice

PITTSBURGH, April l2.-Susan John
ston, a seventeen year old girl, with a
remarkably pretty face, was arrested by
Detective Austin, at the Union Depot,
Yesterday, at the instance OF her father,
who said that she had run away from
her home at Wellsville, Ohio, with the
intention OF leading al abandoned lie in
this CITY. Susan left her fathers house
early on Saturday morning with trunk.
iul of clothes. She confided TO friend
that she was coming 10 this city, and the
friend betrayed her TO her parents. Her
father telegraphed 10 this city, but the
message came too late 10 be OF use TO
the officers as Susan had already ar
rived. Her trunk remained at the de-
pot, however, and this fact was telc.
raphed back TO Wellsville. In ieponse
there came dispatch from Mr.. John
ston to hold the trunk until he arrived.
He came 10 the city, and az il was eK.
pt-cted that the wiliul Susan would call
ior il some time yesterday, the detective
and .he father remained a, the depot in
wait. Miss Johnston put in an APPEAR
ance in the afternoon, and was very
much taken back when she ran into the

WINDOW PRAISED
By the National Banks for His Course
With the Maturing Bonds

WASHINGTON, April l2. - Secretary
Window says from assurances already
received he felt very much encouraged
as to his line OF policy regarding the
maturing OF United States bonds, and
that judging from present indications 1t
would prove Successful. A number Of
teiegrams were received from National
banks and other holders Of per cent.
bonds announcing their concurrence in
the Secretary's plan and saying they
preferred to have the bonds ex-
tended at 81 per cent. rather than
have them redeemed. A number
OF Congressman including members
OF the Finance Committee called on the
Secretary this afternoon and rendered
congratulations upon the course adopted,
unanimously predicting its success.
Senator Sherman did not call but il is
said at the department he favors the
course which the Secretary has conclud-
ed to pursue. There is every reason to
believe that the same plan will be pur-
sued with regard to the outstanding 5
per cents. The department was busily
engaged to-day sending out circulars
and blank forms relative to per cent.
bonds and their conversion into 81 per
cent. certificates.

A VACANT OFFICE
Causes Much Inconvenience in Wash
ington.

WASHINGTON, April l2.-For several
weeks the Office OF United States Mar
shal in the District OF Columbia has
been vacant by the expiration OF the
commission OF +. Douglass, which va.
Cancy has seriously interiered with the
business of the courts. Suits may be
entered, but il summary process is re-
quired there is no way to execute the
writs. In regard to jail business it is
comparatively easy to send prisoner
there, but as there is no Marshal TO
sign release il is rot so easy
to get prisoners out. There are
no officers to summon wit
nesses. The consequence OF all this is
that the wheels of the law AS regards the
Criminal Court are clogg d. There are
many prisoners in Jail anxious ior a
trial, and some who propose to plead
guilty. Some are under Police Court
sentence and desire to appeal, but just
how to get out, il they conclude to
appeal, ls question not easy OF solution
until Marshal is appointed, The de-
lay in the appointment is caused by the
fact that Fred Douglass will not accept
any other place, and if he is turned out
he will teach the cOlored brother that the
Administration means to prescribe his
race.

jority should have the right to elect the
officers OF the Senate and pointed out
the danger which might attend the con-
trary doctrine, that the majority should
bow to the will of the minority. For years
and years the Republican party had
been engaged in the work OF reconstruct
ing the political situation in the South
ern States, and he, for one, was ready 10
stretch forth the right hand OF fellow
ship to any man who, like the Senator
from Virginia Mahonel, would stand
up in the South for free ballot and an
honest count.
Mr.. Pendleton made motion to 60

Several roll calls followed and Mr..
Pendleton then took the floor, but in.
timating that he would prefer to pro-
ceed tomorrow, the Senate adjourned.
