A Case of Smallpox.

About week ago a colored man
escaped from the hospital at Sc
dalia and beat his way 10 this city
on a night train. 1t was given out
next day that he had been exposed
to smallpox and had slipped away
from the quarantined hospital.
He took up his abode at Lettie
Muldrow's and has been kept there
ever since he landed in town. Sat-
urday he developed an unmistak-
able case OF smallpox. The house
is thoroughly guarded night and
day and no one allowed to enter or
leave it. 1t is not definitely
known just how many people have
been exposed or whether any one
or not. The board Of health have
taken charge of the case and will
see that the town is properly pro-
tected against the possibility Of a
spread of the disease. We deem
it but just to our readers here and
elsewhere to make this statement
of facts as thsy exist. There is no
reed Of alarm as every precaution
has been taken, and the place is

The German brig JuIana. which reached
this port today from the Mediterranean

has scarcely its equal for horror in marine
history. Captain Schiosser his wife. and
the mate were killed during the voyage in
their rooms by the helmsman. who com
mitted suicide by shooting himself through
the head on the vessels deck today.
The rest OF the crew, eleven men, are
locked in the jail here
They were captured by the marines Of the
Spanish cruiser Iufanta Isabel. who at
tackled the vessel. The sailors resisted
stoutly. The brig flew the Brazilian flag
when she entered the harbor today. and
sought an anchorage on the east side Of
the basin. One of the crew managed TO
communicate with the Brazilian Consul
and he sought the Spanish Governor Gen
eral and asked that d force of MARINES from
the Infanta Isabel lying in the harbOr, be
sent at once to the brig
The cruisers launch. with a company
of marines. was sent to the Juiiana
In reply TO a hail from the launch the
crew appeared at the port rail. armed with
rifles and ordered the cruisers launch 20
keep off. The launch kept straight on to-
ward the brig. and the sailors fred a vol
ley.
The bullets scattered around the launch
but hit no one. Then the Spanish marines
turned loose their Mausers. and the briggs

the deck. jumped into the bay and swan
for land. They were cut on by the launch
and all the men picked up The helmsman
had remained on board. He witnessed the
capture of his men and raising his revolver
blew out his brains.
On board the brig the cabin was found
in great disorder, and at the foot of the
companionway was the dead body of a
man evidently one of the crew. The crew
it was learned had thrown overheard the
bodies of the captain and his wife, and the
mate.
The body of the leader of the mutineers
was taken ashore for burial, and a watch
