the authorities of that town grant per-
mits TO their own people to come over
here without any possible knowledge
Of where the visitors will drift 10 be-
fore they back home. If there is any
necessity for the quarantine, it will
strike a good many people that they
are punching too many holes in it, for
it to amount to much.
Friday night the Bridgeport authOri-
ties, realizing that the Health Officer OF
that town was issuing too many per-
mits, shut down on the whole business,
and took the power of granting passes
into their own hands. Last night the
Martins Ferry Board awoke to the
same situation, and held a meeting.
at which the power formerly vested in
the Health Officer to issue permits was
revoked and no passes VIII be granted
to-day or hereafter, during the continu-
ance Of the quarantine, except they be
issued by the Board. 1t is stated that
six hundred permits were out from
Bridgeport and Martins Ferry COM
bined, which must have made the few
TALKS over there who had no pass feel
rather lonesome.
Mayor Caldwell yesterday received q
telegram from Health officer J. T. Huff
and Mayor w. T. Burnside. of Buck
harmon, announcing a rigid uuaran-
tine against this city. They got in
just in time to be knocked out by the
State Board of Health. Steubenville
also quarantined against both Wheel
ing and Martins Ferry, yesterday. to
take effect to-day. This action, in all
probability, arises from the sensation
al publications made in some of the
Steubenville papers, and from the eX-
aggerated talk of officials and others
up there. A Wheeling business man
came down from Steubenville Friday
saying that the Mayor of that town had
exhibited a letter, said to have been
written by Wheeling official in which
it was stated there were sixty cases
here 1t is needless to say that the
person said to have written this letter
never did so, and letters were written
the Mayor of Steubenville yesterday to
this effect, with a request for an ex-
PLANTATION.
Last evening arrangements were
made between the Bridgeport authOri-
ties and the c., L. & w. railroad where
by all persons desiring to take trains
on that road will be accorded the privi~
lege Of doing so.
At Bellaire no passes are allowed by
the quarantine authorities, except in
the most extreme cases.
No new cases were reported in this
city Yesterday, and last evening Health
officer Jepson was well pleased with
the situation, and was more cheerful
than heretofore in discussing the con,
ditions. To a reporter for the Register
who called at his Office, last evening,
he said
81 have thirty names. of all sorts,
upon my list of smallpox cases and sus-
poets OF these. five are well, and are
not receiving medical attendance. Two
others are classed as suspects, leaving
twenty-three active cases, in all stages,
from pretty bad to cOnvalescence. Or
these twenty-three, three are at the
city hospital and twenty are at their
homes. This is the exact situation.
Not over one or two cases out OF the
entire number occasion any anxiety.
Some of the cases are of very peculiar
TYNE presenting some unusual aspects,
and if is lust possible that one or two
have not smallpox, although there
will be no relaxation in the precau-
lions for the present. One OF these
cases is that of John Crogan.'
One recent case has not HERETOFORE

Thursday evening a physician notl-
fed DR.. JeDsor of a suspected case in
the rear of No. 2409 Chaphne street,
the patient being George Rickett. Dr.
Jepson could not get down until late
at night. and then did not locate the
case. but did not worry about it, as the
physician said nothing would be needed
until morning Friday the Health OH
Ger saw the patient, pronounced 1t
case of smallpox, and superintendent
the removal of the case to the hospital,
purchasing a splendid spring wagon
at a very moderate cost, for use here
after i'm such cases. The case did not
get into the papers, the Health Officer
being under the impression that ii had
been announced Friday morning, while

eveningas a suspect, and not afterwards
hearing that the suspicion had been
confirmed. allowed the case to drop. 1t
is now reported, and those residents of
the vicinity of the case who imagined
there was something wrong have the
benefit of the explanation.
Yesterday the papers announced that
the two light cases at No. 2909 McCol-
loch street. were in the family Of Martin
He'll. that name being given for that
number in the Directory. Yesterday it
was learned that the name should have
been John He'll, and the correction is
made i'm Justice to Mr. Martin He'll and
his family. The case of John Groves,
of No 1920 Chapline street, reported
by Or. Pipes to DR.. Jepson Friday, is,
or rather was. a case of varioloid. The
patient was i'll for several days before
he called in a physician, thinking he
had an attack of ague. Dr. Pipes
promptly reported it, and DIR J.epson
called. but the patient, whose attack
was very mild, was practically well.
In referring to the quarantine laid
by Martins Ferry, in yesterdays Reg
lister, reference was made to the deliy-
cry of beer and other merchandise
