Packinghouse Notes.
[From Saturdays Daily.l

=
The total number of hogs received
at the packing house of John Morrell
d Co. for the week ending yesterday
was $4,000, an increase of 5000 over the
receipts of last week, and an increase
of 1000 over that of the corresponding
week last year. There has been gem
eral increase all over the country.
Western hacking represents total of
5000, compared with 10000 the pre-
ceding week, and $4,000 two weeks ago
For corresponding time last year the
number was 775,000-the largest week.
ly exhibit on record. Two years ago
the total was $4,000. The past week
indicates 100000 less than for cores
ponding period last year, and 10000
more than two years ago. From No-
yember the total is 3,O95, 900, against
3,725,0 year ago-a decrease of &C.,
600, or II per cent. The deficiency is
likely to be still further enlarged this
month, but it is not yet clear that af-
ter this month the marketing will be
smaller than year previously. The
quality of stock being marketed is
good. Prices at the close are little
higher than week ago, and Csc per
100 lbs higher than year ago.
The Provision Market.
The provision market has ruled firm,
the tendency of prices being moderate
.ly upward, the week closing with an
advance of 22Kac per 100 lbs for lard
and short rib sides and 55c per barrel
for pork for January at Chicago. The
weeks export clearances were liberal
of lard, considerably exceeding the
movement for corresponding time last
year, while meats fell behind. The
season has continued very favorable
for feeding operations, and less COM
plant of ailments among stock than
usual have ben reported. The dispo-
sition to maintain comparisons with
the extraordinary marketing a year
ago will likely continue to be infuen-
tial in strengthening market senti-
ment. The trade in a general way APP
pears to be healthy and encouraging.
Hogs Received.
Special reports to the Cincinnati
Price Current show the number OF
hogs packed since Nov. at undermen-
toned places, compared with last year,

SMALLPOX AT COALFIELD
There Are Now Eleven Gases Of It
No Deaths as Yet.

Eddyville, Dec. 15.-(Special.)-
There are now eleven cases of SMALL
pox at Coalfield, four miles north of
here on the Iowa Central railroad.
There have been no deaths as yet, and
the majority of the cases are mild.
The town is surrounded by guards and
all trains pass through it at full speed.
There is no truth in the reports sent
out that there is smallpox in Eddy
vile. There are absolutely no cases of
it here. ~
Situation at Coalfield
Abba, Dec. 15.-(Special) THE
dreaded disease of smallpox has invad-
ed this county, making its appearance
at the mining camp at Coaltield, nine
miles north of here. A man by the name
of Smith recently came TO the camp
from Indian Territory. He was bro-
ken out but was not confined to his bed
and his sickness was claimed to be a
fever that followed the grip. He board
ed at the home of Mr.. Diggs, and it
was but short time until the family
was afflicted. The state board Of
health was notified and yesterday DIR.
McKlveen went to Coalfield and made
an examination and he pronounces the
case one of genuine smallpox. The
town has been quarantined and no rail-
road trains stop there. Several Abba
people have been exposed and the
health commissioner has ordered all
citizens vaccinated. Coalfeld is a min
ing camp and the operator of the mine
had trouble some time ago with the la
Dor organizations and all the labor men
quit the camp and he employed colored
men and brought them from Missouri.
Since that time the mine has been run
ming at intervals but, the work has not
been the best. The men are5in no con-
dition to stand a siegesof smallpox, and
there is bound to come want and mis-

On Tuesday the trial of George Willetts, col
ored, for the murder Of Mason NJ. Bennett last
December was begun and occupied all Of Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday.
The line of prosecution was that Mr.. Bennett
was sober on the night Of his being hit in the
head and his skull fractured; Willett was seen
leading Bennett in the Nelson House alley, that
he had Benefits watch and pocket book, that
| he tried to get a loan on the watch; Wiliett had
skinned knuckles, that lie was jealous OF Ben
nett because Bennett had Mary Morgan, a
sent to state prison for living with her. Willett
met her afterwards and threatened to "knock
her head off and Benefits too"
Detective Carney created a sensation when he
testified that he over hear Willett tell Mary
Morgan that he "had told no one and that dead
men could tell no tales. John News, colored
who was in Jail at the time testified that he hear
the anne also that WilietS said he saw Bennett
and Mary Morgan in the lngham orchard and
when he met him in the alley he "tDrowed IL on
him..

fence would be that no crime had been admit
ed that Bennett, because of his drinking habits.

only connection with the case was that OF a
helper OF the unfortunate.
