son, the patient being Mrs. John He'll,
of No. 2909 McColloch street. This is
the result Of the two other cases. in the
same house, the patients being Mrs.
Heil's children. Mrs. Heils attack is
very light, and she will scarcely have
to 90 to bed.
John Crogan was discharged yester-
day, it being finally determined that he
did not have the disease. A number Of
other cases are making excellent pro-
gross, and half-a-dozen or more will be
well by the coming Sunday. In an in
terview with Dr. JeDson. last evening,
regarding the condition Of the patients,
that gentleman said:
Miss Smith, of South McColloch
street, is well and the flag will be
taken down tomorrow. David Kee-
nan, Of No. $500 alley B, is entirely
well. Mrs. Wolf of alley B and alley
20, is well, but her child is still III.
John Groves, of No. 1920 EOff street,
will likely be well by Wednesday Jo-
seph Buch is no longer under treat
ment, and viii be discharged between
this and Saturday. He lives at No.
2255 Market street. John CrOgan Is
discharged, as you know. Mrs Hor-
ner. of No. 2509 Chapline street, is
about well, and Michael Forrest, OF No.
4706 EOn street was sitting up yesteT-
day, and will soon be we'll. Some 9TH
ers are convalescing. The general sit
uatiOn continues good, and II we can
get over Sunday without more than an
occasional case, I viii think the worst
is over. The remainder Of this week
will be the crucial time The people
generally are familiar with the char
acteristic smallpox symptoms by this
time. and il any of the symptoms APP
pear i'm case of sickness, they should
send tor a physician at once, and see
that every one I'm the house is prop
erly vaccinated'
Health officer Ogden, of East Liver
pool was in the city yesterday, and
called upon Health Officer Jepson, at
the City Hall. Later the Health Officer
took Dr. Ogden through the infected
territory on the South Side, and the
visitor was shown and told the exact
situation At the conclusion OF the
tour and Of the interview with DR.. Jep-
son. DR.. Ogden expressed himself as
satisfied that the situation was as 1t
was represented. Dr. Ogden comes
from the town where the East Liver
pool Crisis is published, a newspaper
which has published some very wild
and false statements about the disease
here. 1t is to be hoped Dr. Ogden viii
be believed when he goes home, and
that some of the alarm and misrepre-
sentatiOn OccasiOned by the paper
named will be alayed and corrected.
The Official proclamation of the Stare
/ Board OF Health. raising the local quar-
antines i'm this state. has been obeyed
/ i'm a1l the towns where such guarantees
/ were established, save the town OF
/ BuckhannOn. where the health author
/ tiles are evidently miffed because Dr..
| Baker did not write a personal letter,
/ duly embollished with a red seal and
supported by an affidavit that 1t was
I his signature which was appended
thereto. The following telegram was
! received from BuckhannOn last night:
Special to the Register.
Buckhannon. w. Va. September 10
/ Our municipal authorities decided this
/ evening to rig.dly enforce the quaran-
| tine against the smallpox infected dis
tricts Of Wheeling, notwithstanding our
| alleged copy Of a proclamation OF tne
| Secretary OF the State Board OF Health,
/ declaring the quarantine lifted. No OFF,
cial COPY OF the proclamation has been
/ received Parties from Wheeling de-
| string to come to BuckhannOn should
] provide themselves with the proper GER
4 tifcate from the city Health Officer. All
our incoming trains are boarded by the
| Health officer and every care used to
inforce the quarantine.
1t is very likely that Mayor Caldwell
will wire DR.. Baker, at MartinsbTg, TO-
day. telling him of the refusal to obey
the orders of the State Board. The
penalty for this under the provisions
of the Code. is pretty severe, and the
town Of BuckhannOn would very likely
be liable i'm heavy damages to any one
refused admission. after the issuance OF
the proclamation of last Saturday.
The Over-the-river guarantees were
maintained as usual, yesterday, but a
few people came and went, neverthe-
less. particularly from Bridgeport. A
case occurred at Martins Ferry, yester-
day. which caused a good deal OF indig-
nation over here among business men.
Mr.. Henry Mayer of The firm OF Mayer
& Radcif, had occasion to visit the
town named. where he was arrested and
locked ND. He was released on pay
mont of five dollars as security, and at
the same time was told that if he ap-
peared TO answer, in accordance wi tn
the terms of his security, he would be
arrested again This looks a good deal
like injustice if Uhis report OF the cir
cumstance is the correct one.
Martins Ferry people are far from
satisfied with this ridiculous quaran-
tine of theirs, and yesterday q petMion
was circulated and extensively signed,
asking for it's removal. This petition
win be laid before the Board OF Health
: to-day. The idea Of one town having
several cases of smallpox, uniting with
other towns which have none in a quar-
antine against this city, is worthy Of
oDera bouffe. If Bridgeport and Bel
laire had quarantined against Martin
Ferry il would have been a good deal
more like q proper measure.
The Bellaire authorities have agreed
that the suspicious cases reported al
Georgetown. on Indian run, ana on
sh1ntv boat. are not smallpox.
The latest outbreak Of Ananias jour
nalism is at PIT Pleasant, where the
Register of yesterday said:
Smallpox is still on the increase IN
Wheeling. It seems to have gotten the
upper hand of the authorities, while
they were Quarrelling over its Board OF
Health Point Pleasant authorities
