TORE SMALLPOX.
A Third Case Reported to the Health
Office, on Turk Street.


There was another case OF smallpox re-
ported at the Health Office yesterday.
That is, the case was determined to be
smallpox yesterday, for the matter was re
ported to the Health Officer on Thursday
last, yet nothing was said about the matter
until yesterday, when further conceaIment
became an impossibility and The Health
Office was compelled to announce the case.
On Thursday last DIR. Fitzgibbons re-
ported to the Health Office a case at 3o5
Turk street which he thought 10 be small.
pox. The health officials took charge OF
tbs matter at on ce. Health Officer Keeney
visited the house at 305 Turk street aud
found man named Captain John Smith,
about IS years of age, suffering from what
was at hrst supposed TO be case of vario-
loid.
CAPTAIN Smith has been in this city ever
since last October, having come here from
Australia in the ship Comliebank. He has
only been at the Turk-street house for
about month. About a week ago he took
sick very suddenly and continued 10 all.
when Dr. Fitzgibbons was called to attend
him. As soon as the physician diagnosed
The case and saw the nature Of the disease,
he promptly notified the Health Office
peculiar fact about the case is that this
third reported case of smallpox has broken
out in the very same block where the FIRST
case took place, which was on the other
side of the street further down the block
When the Health Officer was convinced
that the case was one of smallpox he issued
orders quaraDtinng the house. When the
other inmates discovered the nature of Cap
tain Smiths disease they Immediately be-
gan to pack up traps and make hesty exit
Before they were allowed 10 depart the
Health Officer had ali their effects and the
house thoroughly fumigated with the strong
est disinfectants. All the inmates were
also vaccinated. Before tho day was over
all the people had moved away, as IL from
the plague.
The Health Officer stated that he would
not send Captain Smith TO the pesthouse
because such course would be an act of
the grossest inhumanitv, as 1t would be
certain death considering the terribly ex-
posed condition Of the old barn called a
pesthouse. Owing to disagreements
between the superintendent of the City and
county Hospital. the Health Officer and the
Board OF Supervisors. there have been no
quarters provided at the City and County
Hospital for smallpox patients. In case a =,
epidemic should break out there would he
absolutely no place where the victims of
the deadly disease could be sent
The Health Board will meet early neyt
week, and is expected to take some ener-
eelic action to make some accommodations
for smallpox patients should an epidemic
break out.

SPEEDY OARSMEN.
Men Who Now Claim the
Championship.
Peterson viii Row Hanian or Any
Other Scuiler for the Title
0'Connor Held.

Since William O'Connor's death there
have been several oarsmen claiming the
championship of America. Edward Hau-
Ian recently issued a challenge to row any
one Of the many aspirants to championship
honors for $1,000 a side and the title. As all
OaTsmen are aware Hanlan held for years
the premier position, which he lost when he
visited Australia.
OConnor was pupil OF Hanlan's. and
when the latter returned from the colonies
he allowed that his scholar was his superior
and willingly conceded to him the American
championship, which O'Connor held Up TO
the time Of his demise.
Henry Peterson, the champion OF the
Pacific Coast. Is OF the opinion that he can
defeat either Hsnlan. Teemer or Gaudaur,
the three scullers who, al the present time,
are disputlng the honOrs which tie departed
champion OF America left 10 be contested for.
Johu Muirnead, the hacker and manager
of Peterson. was seen yesterday by rep
resentatlye OF The CALL and In reference
TO hanlan's widespread challenge said:
u have made several attempts 10 arrange
race with Hanlan since his return from
Australia, but the Canadian has always
mansged to avoid meeting with Peterson
bv giving the old-time excuse that he had
already secured match with some other
oarsman.
Il could never get definite answer from
Hanlan, aud for which reason finally gave
up correspondence with him in disgust.
You can imagine my ehagTin when /
received a letter from Toronto, Canada, a
few days ago, stating that Haniau now
claims the mponship OF America, W hich
title he is prepared TO defend against all
corners. Will surprise Edward on Mon
day next by sending q challenge, accom-
panied by a substantial forfeit to one of the
of IN
row Henry Peterson against him over the
Alameda course, distance of three miles
with a turn, for $1,000 side. II Hanlan
will refuse TO acknowledge the def. | will
leave 1t open for thirty days. and, If there
be no acceptance to the challenge In that
time. think that Peterson can rightfully
claim the championship Of this country"
Relative to proposed match between
Peterson and Stan bury the Australian
oarsman aud champion OF the world, Muir
head said That there was some talk of q
match between these men but that there
was very little hope of its contamination as
no manner OF inducements would get Stan
bury to cross the ocean.
He is a man who has the greatest re-
spect for salt water, said Muirhead, and
one who would not risk several days OF sea-
sickness on the ocean for any amount Of
money"
As Peterson will not be tempted 10 try
his luck ia the land of the Golden Cross, the
prospects OF an international race is very
slim.
According 10 local oarsmen who are in a
position TO know Of Peterson's ability. the
Pacific Coast champion. can defeat anyof
the crack scullers OF this country at the
present time.
1t is said that when he raced Dutch, the
Australian oarsman, over the Alameda
course, he could have accomplished time

DIR. TYNAN's WHEREABOUTS.
He Is Located by Letter to Modesto
Friend.


About two months since the city papers
spoke OF the mysterious disappearance OF
DIR. Thomas lyman. a wealthy rancher and
hotel proprietor of Modesto.
The last that had been seen of him was
in this cltY. where his attorneys, Messrs.
Stanley, Stoner & Hayes, knew Of his hav-
ing drawn on his banker check to the
amount Of $4,000
His statement to them was that he drew
the money TO pay off the help on his ranch
near Modesto. His failure to return to
that city LED prominent citizens to en-
deavor 10 look him up.
Conjectures Of foul play were freely in
dulged in, and Captain Lees of this city
was given the task of tracing him up. Tie
captain found that he had gone East. and
traced him TO some point in New York,
beyond which he could secure no know
ledge. 1t WAS generally understood that
domestic trouble led to his departure.
After a sub rosa experience of about two
months the doctors whereabouts are given
in letter published last week in the No
dest0 Rising Sun.
The letter was written to Mrs. Adams Of
Modesto, an old lady who has been an init
mate Of the family for years. DE-. lyman

The doctor is reported to be worth half a
million dollars, consisting Of ranch prop
erty, bank account and the finest hotel in
Modesto, the lyman House.
He is well known IN this city. and is one
of the leading residents of Stanislaus
County.
