SMALLPOX.

| Health Commissioner Craig reported last
evening that two well defined cases OF
small pox had made their appearance in
the lower end of the city.
The patients afflicted are Mrs. Fl. W.
Caitens and her brother -John Houlck, OF
| No. 702 Second Street
Last evening the eruptions were visible
! in the former, while the last named was
not so far advanced.
The house was quarantined and every
precaution viii be taken to prevent the
spreading of the disease.
The present warm weather will assist
materially in assisting the health depart
nent to limit the disease to the house
where the patients are now confined. No
fears are entertained of an epidemic as
was the case in Moline. as the spring
weather will render such a result highly
improbable if not impossible. The disease
was contracted from two visitors who came
direct from Germany about three weeks
ago. They passed through Baltimore
where they were vaccinated. On arriving
in Rock Island both of the visitors com
planned of feeling sick, and in short time
their faces were covered with eruptions.
They were not confined to their beds, and
SO slight was their sickness that it was not
thought necessary to employ a physician.
In short time they fully recovered their
health. At the time ii was not thought
that the visitors had the small pox, but sub
sequent developments show that they
were suffering with a mild case of var
ioloid.
On Monday Mrs. Caihens was taken quite
sick, and her symptoms were those of
smallpox. Last night the eruptions ap
peared, and the case was pronounced as
smallpox.
Her brother who resides in the same
house was also taken down yesterday and
it is thought that he also has contracted
the disease.
Neither case is thought to be of malig-
nant character, and both patients are do
ing as well as could be expected

A WORKER.

Last night the Penguin, one of the tow
boats belonging to Capt. Whitney, the
river contractor, left the city for Guyars
landing where some Improvements are in
course of construction.
Among the crew was Engineer King who
was employed in repairing the bridge at
Keokuk made necessary by the collision of
the steamer War Eagle last fall. King had
charge of the dredge boat Lowell, and did
some very effective work in lifting the
heavy iron from the bottom of the river.
The work accomplished was quite sur
of the dredge boats, as it demonstrated
how much weight could be lifted by the
hoisting apparatus employed.

He said in reply to question that he
did not know whether he struck Merritt the
fatal blow or not, as it was dark and there
were three men lighting Ward. He struck
blow but what injury it caused he was
unable to state
He made no effort to conceal any portion
of his own connection with the tragic
affair, but was outspoken in the extreme,
and was perfectly willing to talk of the
crime. He said that he heard that Mer-
ritt did not have his skull fractured by the
blow, and was unable to state the exact
cause of his death, but naturally thought
that it was from the effects of the treatment
received during the fight. He had never
been under arrest before, and regretted
that he had been engaged in the drunken
brawl, but had no aprehensions that case
of murder could be made out against him.

HIS STORY.

In conversation this afternoon he said
that on the night of the 26th of August,
1880, he was in attendance at a dance
given by man named Mason, who had
just completed dwelling house, and the
party was given in honor of that event.
Liquor was passed around quite freely and
he, as well as other members, became sad
| ly intoxicated.
During the evening a fight occurred, and
his partner. Ward, was set upon by Bridge
water, Calvin Merritt and Denis Mccoy
The trio beat Ward most numerically, and
finally dragged him out of the house.
After they left the house Merritt drew a
knife and cut Ward several times, inflict-
ing severe but not dangerous wounds.
Adams came to the rescue of his friend, as
arate the eombatants but without effect.
and finally got hold of rake which was
on the ground and struck blow which
caused the fighting to cease.
Merritt was badly hurt, add died from
his injuries in short time.
