formed last week in Niblo's Theatre. 1t has
been filling an engagement this week In the
Star Theatre. in jay street. Brooklyn.
To the surprise OF his former associates in
the company Scott unex pectedy turned up at
the theatre on Wednesday night. His face was
covered with blotches usual with patients in
the last stages OF smallpox. but he denied
that he had been suffering from that malady
1t was simply . case OF red measles." he
said.
He took no part in the performance. and
after remaining behind the scenes for half an
hour went to boarding house at 20 Will
loughby street. where some OF the other men,
bers Of the company are stopping. Scott WAS
hustled out OF the boarding house at 4 o'clock
Yesterday morning by sanitary Inspector
OShea and two policemen.
His presence In Brooklyn was revealed to
Health Com mmissioner Emery through tele-
that he had made his escape on Tuesday from
a hospital 10 baltimore and was still suffering
from SMALLPOX.
Scott admitted that he had come on from
Baltimore on Tuesday. but denied that he was
q runaway or that he had smallpox. The
health Inspectors examination left no doubt
that he was victim OF smallpox. and. in
spite OF his protest he was put in the pest
wagon and transferred to the Contagious Dis
eases Hospital in Flatbush. The Willoughby
street boarding house was fumigated and
Guarantined, and all the occupants were vac
cinated.
II was supposed that tile visit OF Scott to
the star Theatre might have the effect OF
stopping the performance last might. hut the
Health Commissioner did not interfere Owing
however. to the case being .rcrortsd In the
afternoon newspapers the audience was much
sm mnler than at any OF the previous perform
anres.
The thirty-nine members Of the company
twenty OF whom are women and all Of whom
are colorei with one exception. were vaccinat-
ed during the three hours occupied by the per-
formance. Three doctors from the Health de-
partment did the job behind the scenes 10 the
entire satisfaction Of the performers. none of
whom raised any objection to the application
OF the virus: The scene shifters and other em-
Iloyees OF the theatre were also vaccinated.
