THE SMALLPOX AT MONTREAL

Citizens Take the Matter in Hand and
 Form Vigilance Committee - A
 Priest Says the Scourge is the Wages
 of Sin.
 MONTREAL, Sept. 1.-The citizens of Montreal, thoroughly exasperated at the inability of the authorities to grapple with the smallpox and alarmed at the con- tinued increase of mortality, have formed themselves into a citizens vigi- lance committee, and at meeting of the city council this afternoon presented peti- tion, in which they asked to be allowed to take hold of the matter themselves, guaran- teeing to stamp out the epidemic in three months. The petition bears the signatures of the leading citizens of Montreal. A rumor is in circulation here that 8 deputation of Boston merchants left for Washington to petition the President to establish stringent quarantine against Montreal and the prov ince of Quebec. Business is suffering in- teDsely from the epidemic. The leading hotel, it is said, has already suffered to the extent of S75.
 Abbe Filiatrault, priest of St. James church, in his sermon yesterday accounted for the smallpox as follows: s'If we are af- ficted with smallpox this summer, it is be- cause we had a carnival last winter, feasting the flesh, which has offended the Lord by the crimes which were committed dur ing that time. The city of Montreal en- deavored to raise herself to as lofty a position as the Tower of Babel. She in tended to spread her fame not only in the United States, but also in the greatest cities of Europe. It is to punish us for pride that God sent us smallpox. He has punished us by keeping away from our midst the strang. CTS who were in the habit of visiting us. Consequently @ greater scourge affects us, that of misery the wages of sin ,,
