is Likely.

Edward +. Copeland, the man who was
discovered By the board Of health on
Wednesday to be suffering with small
pox and who was removed 10 the pest
house that evening, did at 8 o'clock last
night. The death was . surprise 10 the
authorities and DIR. leighton, the city
physician, Thought that the patisst
weuid live for for q week longer 81 the
least. During the day Mr.. Copeland
appeared 10 be quite bright and DR..
Leighton who mads the last osll at 4 30
O'Clock In the afternoon. Thought the
condition Of the patient at that hour
showed no signs for the worse. Then ct
8 o'clock Q telephone message came to the
city physician that the patient had died.
The only person In attendance ut the bed
side OF the patient was the feEsls nurse.
No arrangements have as yet been
made for the burial, bat 10 will probably
take piaos today.
A has already been stated Mr.. Copeland
was 81 years Of age and he had wife and
one son. Three Of his grandchildren also
lived with him at his residence ct 80
Paris street. For several years Mr..
Copeland had been engaged in this bust
ness Of decorator and paper hanger 1T
SOC Ia Congress street. He Was man
who attended strictly to his business and
had many friends.
The authorities say that NO new devel-
opments have set In In the GASES and
they do mot fear any more serious couse-
qusnoss. Still thsy win take the utmost
preca otions 70 prevent tbs least liability
Of spread Of the fearful disease.
This, IL Will be remembered, 10 the Sec
ond death that has resulted from the COZ
tagion. The other case was that Of the
man Loveitt, who was taken sick wi b
the disease In the old Dyer house on
Com meroial stsess, near the corner Of In
diA, and who died several days after BE-
Ing removed to the pest house.
No little excitemsps has been aroused

BICYCLE PATHS.


The wheel club oommittse on bioyois
paths has noe been hunting ducks with
. brass band nor doing great deal OF
talking but In . quiss way has been do
log great.dsal OF good work. II will
be remembered that last year one mile Of
the side path from Morrills Corner 10
Rivsrton was nnished. This year the
remainder 10 under way Of construction
and will be ready for use ~ the time the
Rivsrton season 10 officially opened.
Mr.. y. p. T. wish, chairman OF the
bicycle path committee, and Mr.. rsrnald,
commissionee Of public works, after ses-
ing their work well under way decided to
oonssruet q path on Portland street from
State TO Desring avenue. formerly Grove
street. II will be rsmem bered that some
years ago preparations were made to
esplanads the street and the work was
done to the extent Of placing curbine and
stones 10 mark the limits Of the proposed
roadway.
I The bicyels path will bs made on the
left hand eide CT the street going out and
will be constructed outside the ourbing.
The stone which, curves ct the corners Of
the various strsets will be cut away 10
az to admit slopina run being put in
to allow wheels 10 pass down and up
again without any abrupt stsp. This
work which win mot be attended b. any
large expense will at tire same time serve
the purpose perfectly. Its ingenuity
as well 40 its efficiency reflect great credit
on MIR. Wish and Mr.. Fsrnaid who csn-
oeived the idea aud who are now about
to put 1t into execution.
The same gentlemen have also been
over Verandah street carefully and have
partially completed plan for making
side path there which viii be equally
convenient.
People who have not been directly In
tsrsstsd In this b!cyols path movement
nave had An idea that the whole project
has been pesoefully sleeping. Such, how
ever, has not been the case. Mr.. Wish
has devoted great deal Of time and
thought to the subject and with the able
assistance Of Com missioner FsFnald has
already undsr foot sufficient paths TO
prove the wisdom Of the sslsotion Of
chairman.
