from the Castle yard In Dublin, and to at

Of these plans, as he thought the time FOL

they resolved to murder the Lord Mayor
he should inform him OF bis danger. Ayl
ward then sent word to the Lord Mayor
telling him not to pass through the Castle
yard that evening.
Alyward was that night shot by Fen

UrImInaI Manner OF Treating small POz
In Chicago.

Criminal Manner OF Ifehlnk oulAAA toA
In Chicago.
CHICAGO, March S.-Some very startling
facts have been discovered in regard to q
saloon and boarding house, kept by Henry
Pickard, at No. l,lO5 Archer avenue, and
where some twenty-five people lived. On
January 2Sth DR., Ellis Q, Moore was called
upon to attend q sick child Of Mr., Pick
ards, The child had small pox, aud the
doctor treated 1t for that disease, as the
prescriptions, which are now in the hands
OF the Health Officers, show, The case was
not, however, reported to the Health office,
and on February the Oh, another child
was stricken down with the same disease,
A third child took the infection four days
later, and on February the 18th his wife
suCCumbed TO the same disease, Moore
was called In to treat the whole family,
and in no instance was there any report ei
the contagion made to the proper authori-
ties, The man Pickard did knot want It
known because II would frighten away
his customers and deprive him Of the
means OF paying his doctor bills.
Recently one Of the boarders was taken
sick and be called in his own doctor, who
Immediately discovered that his patient
had the smallpox, and the case was re.
ported To the Health Department. The
children In the house adjoining were also
infected with the disease and are now In
q bad condition. DR.. Moore, on being
questioned 90 to why he did not report
the cases as they came nnder his notice,
gave as an excuse that be did not know
the nature OF the disease, and thought
that the patients were afflicted with the
ChIcken.pox. II is probable that the ar.
rest OF the parties implicated in the case
will occur soon. II is hoped that the con.
tagion has not spread any further, but 1t
is not unlikely that some Of the men who
have been drinking beer over the counter
OF Pickard's saloon will feel unwell In q
few days, and In fact the positions Of the
other boarders Ia the house are not enyi'
able ones. DR.. Moore publishes card In
which he saws that he has not visited
Pickard's house for month, and OF that
time there were no signsot smallpox.

The Captain finally agreed to give $400 fol
the required aid, hRwsers were attached
and after much difficulty the schooner
was hauled into deep water The Cap
