Mir. Davis called in physician, who found that rash had broken out upon her body, and as if grew more apparent it took on vesiculated character not previously shown. This in his mind decided that it was a case of smallpox. Another physician was called in consultation who con- cured with the attending physician and the case was at once reported to the health off Ger. Dr. Williston at once took charge of the case and placed the house under strict quarantine. No person was allowed to enter or leave the premises. It was reported that
 besides Mir and Mrs. Davis and their daughter that MT. and Mrs. Elmendorf were in the house. This is not so, as MT. Elmen- dorf is in Brooklyn and his wife visiting in
 another part of the city, at her sisters. Mrs
 Davis case is e very severe one, but the physician attending her gays the indications are favorable for her recovery A red flag was flying from the house yesterday and Saturday afternoon, but quite a number of people gathered around, not seeming to have very much fear of contracting the dreaded disease. There has been great de- mand for vaccination, one physician in that vicinity having had twenty-seven patients for vaccination yesterday. Mir. Davis is sten- ographer in the Consolidated railroad office.

AN EXPRESS IN COLLISION
While Flying As Full Speed Through
 PhlIadelphIa


 PhiIadelphIa.
 PHILADELPHIA, April 15.-Whils the New York and Washington express south bound was passing over the elevated road of the Pennsylvania railroad shortly before half past three this morning it collided with a heavy passenger locomotive at Thirtieth street The express train consisted of bag gage car and ten coaches, including two vesti- bule cars. Four cars were badly mashed and toppled over on their sides. The follow ing persons are known to have been injured: John DebDins of Brooklyn, forty-seven years old, incised wound of scalp and confusion of chest; James Kenney of 240 West Sixtieth street, New York, forty-seven, lacerated hand and confused arm; John Gould of Baltimore, fracture of seventh and eighth ribs left side; John Huber of Bordentown, engineer of the single locomotive, left leg broken and bruised about the head and shoulders; Baggage Master W. H. Heyney, arm and head scratched; Frank Hoffman of Barnum's circus, bruised about the back and legs, and dozen others who were cut or bruised. The express had the right of way and is usually followed in every morning by an empty locomotive. This morning it appears that Engineer Huber had endeavored to reach the inbound track before the express train. Evidently he saw the white light and imagining the New York train had already gone by belleVed all was clear. When the junction of the tracks was reached the southern express dashed past and Huber's engine shot up against the swift running train. The engine and cars rubbed each other with grinding, crushing. tear ing sound and then toppled over on the ad- joining tracks in opposite directions. The locomotive of the express train soon as the other engine crashed into the baggage car broke loose and shot on ahead. The great est excitement existed among the passengers of the first three coaches when the collision occurred. The lights in one or two of the cars went out, which added to the ter rifying accident.
 Baggage Master Heyney had thrilling ex- perience which might have resulted in his death. When the car toppled over g lot of theatrical scenery fell upon him and hurled him against the side of the car. To add to the horror of his situation the stove had broken from it's attachments and red hot coals lay around him. Two bags of second class mail matter frsm Lancaster caught fire and were destroyed. Heyney lay be- meath the scenery unable to extrieate himself, while the fire drew closer and. closer. His cries for help fortunately were heard in time. A hole was cut through the roof and he was rescued. There was practically no delay to fr0

O'Brisn received several visits to-day. He was cheerful and stated that the only charge the government had against him was that he gave Balfour the lie in his throat. Mir. O'Brien will return to Dublin to morrow. At Bal linasloe MT. O'Brien was greeted with enthu- siasm. The public was excluded from the station. There was slight disorder and some arresrs were made.

MAYOR HEWITT RKTOLLED. His Flag Order PIeases the Rr1tish-
 American Association of massachU-
 setts.
 BosToN, April 15.-The British American association of Massachusetts at a meeting last night discussed the action of Mayor Hewitt of New York in refusing to allow 8 display of foreign flags on the public build ings of the metropolis. A series of resolu- tions were adopted unanimously which con- tain the following:
 Whereas, The clear-cut utterances of His Honor, Abram s. Hewitt, Mayor of the oity of New York, show that he is unalterably opposed to any attempt at foreign domina- tion of American politics, and that in a pe- riod distinguished by the slavish and shame ful servility of American officeholders to foreign ideas and alien agitation, he has shown an example of true American manli- ness and political independence; therefore
 Resolved, That the British-American asso- citation of Massachusetts, representing fifty thousand British-Americans, residents of the commonwealth in general council as- sembled, expresses it's thanks to his honor, the Mayor of New York, for this exhibition of sterling patriotism and single-hearted de- votion to the flag of his country, and ex- presses the hope that many more mayors of great cities, governors of our States, and oth- CTS holding office by the power of the vote of American citizens will find in the example of the Hon. Abrarn s. Hewitt an incentive to take the same impregnable position that for eign agitations and foreign flags shall have no place in and should not be recognized by the American republic.

 His Condition Gives Fears For she

 NEW YORK, April 15.-Mr. Conkling passed bad night last night, his rest being disturbed by severe cough, which seemed to exhaust the sufferer. Dr. Barker called at 10 o'clock this morning and said slight bron- chitis had developed during the night, but otherwise there was no change for the worse. The pulse was 90, temperature 961s. There was still some symptoms of twitehing of the muscles. The patient had not slept well, but had taken considerable nourishment. There was no improvement. At il o'clock an employe of the hotel said Mir. Conk- ling had grown much weaker since last night and was so exhausted that the phy- sicians did not think it safe to administer ether so as to examine the wound in his head. At 1:30 p. m. Dr. Barker called again and re- ported the ex-Senator's condition unchanged since the earlier call He had lost no strength and had rested some. Dr. Anderton said at 2:30 D. m.: sfMr. Conkiing is no better. He takes nourishment, but recognizes none of us. In his talk he often calls for Dr. Barker" MT. Melville said that MT. Conkling recog- nized his wife for a moment Saturday after noon Since he had recognized no one. His cough was distressing to listen to. He was losing strength all ths time and tossed his hand around constantly. Ar. Melville had no hope of his partners recovery.
 There were many callers to-day to inquire after MT. Conkling. Among others were Mayor Hewitt, s. L. M. Barlow, Alderman Conkling, Clarence A. Seward and Judge Shipman. At 6:05 Judge Coxe sent this tel egram to E.P. Bailey of Utica: 'tMr. Conkling has not improved to-day, but we will still have hope" About the same time an inti- mate friend of the ex-Senasor, who has had constant access to the sick chamber, tele- graphed to Senator Jones of Nevada: "Chances are diminishing. There is little hope" MT. Conkling was said to be in stupor. The opinions of the friends of MT. Conkling and the physicians differ, however. Dr. Barker called at 8:15 p. m. He said MT. Conkling had lost nothing and there was no change in his pulse or temperature since his last visit. He declared the rumor that Conkling was in stupor and unable to rec ognize any body was false. MT. Cenkling had grasped his hand, the doctor said, with a frnser grip than he cared to have him repeat. Dr. Barker will not call again until to-mor- row morning at o'clock. The Senator took his nourishment well tonight.
 At 10:S0 p. m. there was no change in Conkling's condition according to the reports which reached the street. An hour before this Edward Stokes said: "Mr. Conk- ling Is failing rapidly. There is no chance of his recovery. I do not think the end is far distant" Judge Coxe left MT. Conkling's bed at 11:3O. He said MT. Conkling was not sleeping, but was cough ing badly.

THE LOOKOUT OF THE BREWERS.
A Big Struggle to Commence at Noon
 To-Day.

To-Day.
 NEW YORK, April 15.-The preparations for the probable lockout at the breweries to- morrow were actively carried on to-day in the labor organizations of the brewery em- ployes and the unions af6liating with them. According to the bosses programme the lock out will be declared at noon by the brewers in'the pool and there is but little probability that the difficulty will be averted. The pool employers say that within thirty-six hours after the lockout they will be able to resume work with new forces of employees. This the men admit, but threaten to square matters by boycotting pool beer. At the mems head quarters it was asserted to-day that nineteen brewers had deserted the pool, but names or confirmation of the ststement were not forth- coming. One Aon-pool brewer, however, has received large orders from saloons which have ordered trust brewers to discontinue their supplies. The Central Labor union to- day resolved that all unien men must pledge themselves to abstain from all malt or spirituous liquors for two weeks. D. A. No. 40, K. of L., held a meeting to-day and en- dorsed this action and numerous other labor organizations also held meetings and endors- ed the employees side of the struggle and promised financial assistance.

 CHICAGO, April 15.-In the presence Of hundreds of people on the busiest thorough fare in Chicago, Simon Rosenfeld, travel ing salesman, stabbed himself to the heart this afternoon. and fell to the sidewalk dead. State street. near Washington, the center of the fashionable shopping district, was the scene of the tragedy. Pavements and side walks for square in any direction were blockaded almost in moment by a crowd of people, the majority of them ladies. It was difficult to make lane through which the body could be removed. A common pocket knife was Rosenfeld's weapon. He was talk ing with two friends, neither of whom sus- pected the suicides intention, or knew the cause of the act. A pawn ticket for an overcoat was all that the dead mans pocket contained, except three letters. One was from lawyer, saying that he had informa- tion that Rosen6eld ought to know. The second was addressed to "Maudie," asking her to come to Chicago and live with him. The third was from his sister in Detroit, ex- pressing the hope that her brother had given up 'sthat awful habit, drink"
