EPIDEMIC OF SMALL PoX.
Two Hundred Cases in the City OF
Bedford.

Huntingdon, Pa, Dec. S.-Among
Bedford's population of $500 there are
about two hundred cases of what is
said to be genuine smallpox. This
alarming condition of affairs was dis
covered yesterday and up to that time
there continued an interrupted COM
minglinS of the citizens of the town,
irrespective of their physical condition.
DR.. w. B. Atkinson, of Philadelphia,
inspector of the state board of health,
passed through here today on his re-
turn home from Bedford, where he spent
yesterday in diagnosing the disease
that prevails from one end of the town
to the other. The Bedford physicians
disagree, some pronouncing it to be
chicken-poX and others q harmless skin
disease. DR.. Atkinson, after a thorough
examination, says it is genuine small
poX. He himself counted one hundred
and thirty cases in the town, and be-
lieVes there are fully two hundred in
all. Men, women and children he de-
clared, with smallpox crusts on their
bodies and faces, have been travelling
the streets day and night and visiting
from house to house, unconscious Of
the true nature of their terrible afflic-
tion. The rapid spread of the disease
was due to the inability of the local
physicians to diagnose it, not one Of
the practcing physicians of the town
ever before having treated a small poX
case. Drastic measures We're taken to-
day to prevent the cOntagiOn from
spreading further. The whole town is
closely quarantined policed and guard
ed and heroic measures will be prose-
cuted to check the plague. The danger
TO the whole central part of the state
is manifest, as people of Bedford, while
infected with the disease, have been
travelling far and near. George Mar
tin. member of Company A, Fifth
! regiment, of Huntingdon, who is aftlict-
| ed with smallpox, contracted the dis
! ease while playing foot ball in Bed
| ford from an opposing Bedford player.
| who at the time showed the crusts of
| smallpox on his face. The Hunting
| don school board has ordered compul-
| sorry vaccination of the pupils.

HE DIDN'T WALK HOME.
John Malta, of Carbondale, Walked
Part Way to This City.

Among the thirty Carbondale voters
who were hauled before the election
contest examiners yesterday on sheriff S
attachments, was a gray-haired poor
ly-clad and weak looking old man
named John Malta. After he had given
his testimony and explained that he
had answered the subpoena and should
not have been brought in on an attach
ment he turned to the examiners and
asked where he should go to get his
pay. He was told he would have ia
wait for that until the contest was
settled.
But my Heavens!" exclaimed the
old man, "the officer that attached me
said l would get my witness fee when
I came down. What's going to take
me home?"
How did you get down?" some one
asked.
well, l walked part of the distance
and beat my way on a coal train the
other part. | had no money, and it was
how | feared I'd be sent to Jail if
didn't come. Leastways that's what
the officer told me. / thought to stand
the journey down all right and that my
dollar would be waiting here for me tC
take me home on the train. / can't at
tempt to walk back, though"
The old man was in a great state OF
worry when Mr.. Scanlon. who is assist.
ing in looking after the respondents
interests, related the circumstances t,
County Treasurer Kelley. 1t is needless
to say that the old man didn't have tc
walk home.
John LeydOn, Patrick Fenner, JOSEPH
Tomarina, AntOnia Cara. and Marcus
Healey all swore that they had not been
subpoenaed and the latter further
stated that he did not vote at election
in question.
All the others, with the exception o
few who pleaded illness, swore tina
they had answered the subpoena wher
the examiners were in session in Car
bOndale.

HUSBAND AND WIFE DEAD.
Fever Has Completed It's Terrible
Work in Holgate Household.

John Holgate, an old resident, died
yesterday of typhoid fever after an i'll
ness of several weeks
The case is a sad one.
In October the nephew of Mr.. and
Mrs. Holgate. who had been a soldier
in the volunteer army, came from his
home in Newark to the home of his
uncle and aunt suffering from typhoid
fever which he contracted in the
army.
They tenderly cared for him and af-
ter a time the young man was on the
road to recovery
Then both Mr.. and Mrs. Holgate were
laid low by the faver and last week
Mrs. Holgate died and was buried in
the family plot at Justus. When Mr..
HOlgate learned OF his wife's death
it was a severe shock to him and the
fever was not long thereafter in ac-
complishing its terrible work.
The funeral will take place Sunday
at 10 o'clock a. IN. Services will be
held at the Clark's Green Baptist
church at II o'clock, and interment will
be made In Justus,

reported that the shaft had broken u
week before and that since that time
she had been drifting about the ocean
at the mercy of the elements.
Captain Thompson, of the British
steamship Eddystone, which arrived at
New York yesterday with Blyth, fell
in with the disabled Atlantic, and had

of the Atlantic. The disabled steam
ship is of steel. 1913 tons net register

ed directing the city engineer to eX
