accordingly nothing whatever was known
of the case either By him or the attend

in the main building among the other
inmates, who seeing her condition

On Monday DR.. J. II. lamar, County

child came TO this county from PhiladeI-
phi. several years ago, and engaged as
a domestic with a well kuo~n family
residing near Elkton. Later she married
and some time after went in.o service.
The child was there in delicate condi-

the first of September when she showed
symptoms of small pox or of bad case
OF varioloid and was Immediately placed
in quarantine under charge of DR.. Heis-
kell. Upon the recovery of the child
application was made f0r her admittaDce
into several charitable institutions but
it was refused. The child was delivered
to Mr.. Parker who determined to return
her 10 Cecil county, he being under the
impress sion that she was sent to Baltimore
for treatment from the almshouse. The
eport was circulated in this vicinity, of
a genuine case Of small pox at the alas.
house, and it naturally caused consider
able e1citemen Dr. lamar stated
emphaticaIly that there was no danger
whatever, the symptoms of the disease
having entirely subsidized. The very fact
of the chiIds having been discharged
from the Baltimore quarantine by the
ealth offic GERS is an assurance that there
could now be no dangerous phase in the
case.
The mother has been found, but the
child will remain at the almsh0use.
