SMALL P0X IN THE COUNTY
One Case Discovered in This
City and Another at
New Durham.

The Jersey City Board of Health re-
ceived word from County Physician Con-
verse this morning that the case sus-
pected to be small pox, which was sent to
the pest house at Snake Hill, Saturday,
is in reality that dread disease. The VIC
tim Is a Southern negro, Samuel J. Claf-
ford. twenty-five years old, who was en-
ployed on the ocean going tugboat Viking
of lie Morris e. Cummings Company.
The Viking arrived in Jersey City from
Norfolk. Va, on Saturday last. Clafford
was not unwell, but he was worried De-
cause of a peculiar rash which had
broken out all over his face and body.
He. went to City Physician Rector, at his
office, No. 100 Grand street, and asked
him what the trouble was. DR.. Rector
was puzzled. He did not feel that he
could properly diagnose the case. He
feared that Clafford a the symptoms
of small pox, but was not sure. He
reported the matter to Health Inspector
Benjamin, who asked Clafford if he was
willing to go to the pest house and un-
dergo a thorough examination. The
negro assented and was sent to Snake
Hill. He was the only vistim in the in
stitution, but stnce Saturday a case mas
been discovered in New Durham
County Physician Converse is an expert
on small pox; He is aid to be the only
when it is in its early stages, He ex,
amined Clafford yesterday and declded
positively that he is suffering from small
pox in its worst form. The health
authorities are rather anxious over the
fact that two cases of small pox should
crop out in different parts of the county
at almost the same time. A sharp look
but will be kept for other similar cases.

ROW OVER A CREEK.
All Going to Law Over the Wegman

2hrE E
A nuisance which has been bothering
the residents in the vicinity Of Bidwell

der Simpson has been retained by Mr..
Alexander Cooper to bring suit against
Mrs. Marea Wegman and Frederick
Schultze for $1,000 damages, which he
claims is due him as a result of Mrs.
Wegman having a ditch which runs
through her property filled in. This ditch
is known as Oyster Creek and has been
used by the Coopers for years. It be-
gins pack of the Cooper residence, which
is situated at the extreme western end
of Wegman place, and takes a circuitous
course in an easterly direction through
Mrs. Wegman's property.

block away from the Coopers. Mrs. Veg
man owns property that extends around
back of the Cooper house, and a short
time ago had this old creek filed in in
order to stop the refuse water from flow
ing beside her house. AS a result the
refuse water was backed up or the
Coopers' and is forced to run down Veg
man place, past their house. Wegman
place, which is only about one hundred
yards long, has not been severed, and the
Wegmans had a private sewer built a
short time ago for their. own benefit.

Him Friday.

Supreme Court Justice Lippincott sum
moned Sheriff Heller into the Oyer ana
Terminer Court this morning and IN
formed him that as a committee of the
Supreme Court he had been delegated to
instruct him not to proceed with the
execution Of Edward Clifford on Friday.
The Sheriff will receive further instruc-
ton from the Court later on.
The branch of the Supreme Court at a
special session in Newark yesterday
afternoon. dismissed the writ of habeas
corpus. The Court affirmed the right of
Acting Governor Watkins to sign the
death warrant. The only error was that
the warrant was delayed until after the
expiration of the period for which Cliff
ford was reprieved. That was the only
point decided by the Court. The other
point that his conviction by a struck Jury
was unconstitutional has not been passed
upon. Until that question is settled Cliff
ford will not be sentenced again.
