MONTREAL, Nov. 2.-The mortality by
small pox in this city during last week was

turns give over $500 cases in 1900 houses in
the east end of the city All the deceased
except so were French Canadians.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 2.-The continued exist
ence of small pox in this city causes the
health department and physicians grave
alarm. The cases are isolated, but the medi-
cal auth critics agree that there is great dan
ger of these becoming epidemic during the
winter. Vaccination is going on every day but
at rate that will require several years to
insure the city against disease.
MONTREAL Nov. 2.-There are 20 cases of
small pox in Dufresne street, in the East
End, and only one special guard of the isola-
ton committee to watch all the houses there
in. The Richelieu and Ontario Navigation
Company, which has lost considerably by
stoppage of travel on account of the small
pox epidemic, will have mass celebrated in
the church of NOtre Dame de Lourdes on
Thursday for the cessation of the epidemic.
The ambulance corps has removed IA cases
of small pox from one street in the east end
of the city to the hospital. The daughter of
one Of the jailors in the female jail is sick
with small pox, and, when officers went to
remove her from the hospital, her mother
locked the door in their faces. The husband
of the woman will be arrested.
Ten small pox patients were removed to
the hospital Saturday, and four yesterday
On Saturday S5 new cases were reported and

his family is now in the country. The doc
tor in attendance is well known French

this city Saturday and seven in the suburbs.
Yesterday there were 90 deaths in the city

Mr.. NJ. r. Davis was much surprised by
Hanlan's defeat by Teemer. He does not
think Hanlan could have been at his best
when he rowed Teemer, because of his hav-
ing rowed double scull race week previ-
Gus. He comedies that Teemer is a great
sculler, but has not lost faith in Hanlan,
whom he considers the most finished sculler
in the world.
John Teemer and Wallace Ross intend go

Ross says he never did so well in business as
during the year he spent in the smoky city.
A lawsuit has been brought by Waters, the
paper boat builder, against the backer of
Courtney and Conley in the double scull race
at Troy to recover the price of a paper
double. Waters claims that the boat W as
ordered but Mr.. Spelman, Conley's trainer,
says Waters was building boat which he
wanted Courtney and Conley to row, and
that he guaranteed it would prove faster
than their paper boat, or no sale. Under
these conditions Spelman agreed to take the
boat but he says that not only was it not so
fast as the cedar boat by several seconds, but
it was too small to carry the men even in
smooth water. The case will be heard at
Troy in few days.
