sMALL-POX OVER TIE RIVER.
Twenty or More Cases in Bridgeport and
Martins Ferry.

During the past few days there has
been a decided increase in the number
Of smallpox cases in both Bridgeport
and Martins Ferry, and careful count
last evening makes it certain that there
are from twenty to twenty-five cases in
the two towns. Common rumor and re-
port makes the number very much
larger than this, but the truth is be-
lieved to about as here stated.
OF these cases, there are about twelve
in Martins Ferry, six of them being
conyalescent. In Bridgeport, inclui-
ing K!rkwO0d. there are at least ten
cases, four being on the KirlIwood side
Of the creek and four in the West End
of Bridgeport. People who came from
Bridgeport yesterday afternoon asserted
that ten new flags were put up over
there during the day, but from our own
experience we know that such state
ments, even when made in the most
emphatic manner, are often greatly eX-
aggerated.
In Martins Ferry the situation in the
recent past has been anything but sat
isfactory, and matters got to that point
Officer Jepson, OF this city, to go over
and take charge of the cases. This
proposition came about in this manner:
The physician who treated the first
cases over there sent in his bill, and it's
payment was refused by the Board of
healCA, which is composed exclusively Of
professional gentlemen. When the
next cases came along The physician who
attended the others naturally refused
TO treat them until his money was forth
coming. The Board then called upon
other physicians, and they likewise re-
fused. Then they asked Health Officer
JepsOn TO go over. The Health Officer
sad ne would not 90 On any terms what
ever but said he would diagnose the
cases if that would be sufficient. Find,
ing themselves in a serious hole, the
Board, Helped out by a private sub
scrDtion. settled with the former at
tending physician, and then treatment
OF the cases was resumed.
The Martins Ferry Boards treat
ment of the Linn family, on Fayette
street, has been the subiac. Of a good
deal of criticism, on both sides of the
river. The circumstances appear to be
about as follows: Two weeks ago last
Sunday the family, which consists Of
five persons, was quarantined. and up
to few days ago the members of the
household have been without a doctor.
Owing to their poor circumstances, they
have been unable to get enough to eat.
They have appealed 10 the Health
Board, and that honorable body. after
penning them up. positively refused TO
do anything for them. Ollie Linn. one
of the young boys in the family. who
was not put under quarantine. and who
works at McDermott's tool works. came
to work the other morning crying. He
was asked what the trouble was. and
he told them. The employees. together
with Mr.. McDermOtt, made up a purse
of $50 for the family, with which to get
medical aid and food. All the family
has had, since they have been quaran-
tined, came from private subscriptions
1t is time that either the Health Board
or the Township Trustees were doing
something, and that Immediately.
