CRIMINAL CARelESSNESS.
Utter Disregard OF the Danger from
SMALLPOX in Montreal.

MONTREAL. Sept 2.-Dr. McNuce meets
with much obstruction in visiting houses for
the purpose of ascertaining the existence of
smallpox. The object Of trying to conceal
the disease is 10 prevent the officers from
quitting up placards warning the public of
the danger. As showing how utterly careless
the people are. a householder on Richmond
street cent word 10 the department that his
nephew was Ill, and be wished him removed
10 the civic hospital. On going TO the house
the doctor found seven cases therein while in
the adjoining house were four more. There
was no placard on either house. Physicians
are derelict IN their duty in not reporting
cases To the health department. Instances
are being discovered daily where men nurse
their families all night and 90 10 work in
some Of the big factories during the day.
The city passenger company has ceased
running its cars to St. Jean Baptiste village,
because OF the doctors and persons coming
from houses where the disease exists and
getting on the cars and riding to the city
without being disinfected. The board of
health has appointed two doctors TO inspect
passengers leaving the depOts.

HOLLANDS DEFENSE.
He VIII Claim 10 Have Been a Detec-
tive After Davis.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Holland, the man
who shot Tom Davis, has friends in this city
whose intention it is to do everything in their
power to assist him in his trial for murder.
They assert that Holland and Hill came TO
this city for the express purpose of detecting
the Davis brothers in their swindling opera
ton and bringing about their prosecution.
The operators in "sawdust" games do most
of their business in the unsettled dis
tricts of the Northwest and Southwest.
1t Is understood that Hollands lawyers will
adopt the following line of defense: Hol-
land went to the Office of Davis Brothers in
tending To obtain evidence against them,
and # possible TO capture them, then and
there. He needed for this purpose TO obtain
possession of the contents of the bag pre-
pared by Davis, whether il be good money
or bad, or blank paper. He was prepared
for trickery, and when he saw the bag disap-
pearing he jumped forward to seize IT.
Davis rushed toward the Texan, who, expect
ing to be attacked, raised his pistol and used
il in 5elf-defense.
