epidemic and had hopes that it would 'ali
be over with by next Sunday" He said he

Dr. E. D. Clark yesterday visited all the
houses that are under quarantine, making
very careful inquiries, especially in the
houses where the first cases developed. In
the Spring-street house, from which William
Middleton was removed, no case has devel-
oped among the seven inmates, all of whom
were Vaccinated a, week ago. DR.. Clark is
watching carefully all the quarantined
homes just now, as it is about time for new
cases to develop among those that were ex-
posed to the original three patients. DR..
Wagner yesterday investigated a rumored
case on Lincoln lane, but found there was
nothing in it, A story to the effect that
there were six cases Ia the Enterprise Hotel
was industriOusly circulated Saturday night
and yesterday. 1t is without the slightest
foundation, according to DIR. Clark who was
informed by the proprietor that he believed
this story was started by some practical
Joker or other malicious person who wished
to injure the business of his hotel on Massa-
chuSettS avenue.

An Associated Press dispatch last night
said the body found near Fort St Phillip
had been identified as that of Captain Stur-
tevant, the pilot of the Paul Jones. It had
been supposed that the body was that Of
Harry Yocum, of ST. Louis, who was a

that the body was that of Mr.. Yocum, and
the dispatch last night confirmed it. Mayor
