tending to her household duties when she
was suddenly seized with an attack Of
what is supposed TO have been heart dis
ease. She expired in a few minutes An
inquest is unlikely.
Connected with the death of Mrs. Jost
is a sad story. The woman was the wife
Of John B. Jost. a carpenter, who is now
a patient at st. Elizabeth's Asylum for the
Insane. He lab0red under the impression
that he was soon to become possessed of
a fabulous sum of money which, he said,
he would utilize In making all poor per-
sons happy. He expressed his belief to the
police Of the Fourth precinct early in May
and was taken into custody charged with
insanity. After holding the man a short
time the police turned him over 20 his
wife, as he appeared harmless. Later in
May, however. Jost was again taken into
custody and he was then examined by the
police surgeons. pronounced insane and
sent to the asylum.
He left his wife in destitute circum-
stances. it is said. with the care of sew
eral small children. They were all with
their mother yesterday when she died.
Friends and neighbors took charge of the
children and are caring for them tempo

From thai time to the present ifty-four
cases were treated at the hospital, all but
four of them recovering from the attacks
The four mentioned were of one family
named, respectively, Arthur, Josephine,
Mary, and John Browning. The last case,
just discharged, was Nora Brown, taken
from 81 II Street southwest.
In speaking about the matter yesterday.
DR.. William C. Woodward the District
Health Officer, said there was a likelihood
that the city would be free fram smallpox

from the nearby States, especially from ti:o
river counties of Virginia and adjacent
counties of Maryland. II was remarked
that no less than four centres of the dis
ease were traced TO persons that had come
to tho city from elsewhere, during the re-
cent outbreak. DR.. Woodward expressed
satisfaction that there had been such small
mortality among those taken to the hos
pita1. Some of these cases were severe.
and he said that it was only the best of
treatment that brought them through.
DE-. Woodward mentioned the case OF n
man who had been exposed to the disease
and efterward went over into Maryland.
There he developed an eruption upon the
skin which the local physician thought was
ivy poisoning. and treated him for that
Later some one who had been to see the
man during his confinement to the house
was taken with a like eruption, which ar
other physician pronounced smallpox, and
the patient was Immediately taken back to
Washington, to be taken care OF by the
city. He said that this was only one OF
many cases where the States send their
smallpox patients into Washington to be
cared for here.

DANGER IN THE PITS.
Lieutenant swindeIIs' Report on Ac-
cidents in Railway ManboIes.

Lieut.. John a. Swindells, of the Seventh
precinct, through the Superintendent of
Police, has called the attention of the
Commissioners to certain uncovered pillow
pits on Thirty-seeond Street, Just north OF
P Street. and on Prospect Avenue. west
OF Thirty-sixt Street. Lieutenant Swim
dells states that these plow pits are used
by the Washington Traction Company, and
that the same are dangerous to life and
limb.
1t is stated that these pits are open
practically all the time while the cars are
running. The fact Is also mentioned that
4 dog recently fell into one OF them and
was killed, and the case of boy Is told
who fell into another, but fortunately was
unharmed.
The lieutenant says that the pits in
question are the manholes between the
tracks where the change is made from the
underground 10 the overhead power as NE
cars run out into the suburbs. He says
that they present an element of danger at
all times when uncovered, and he sug-
gests that the attention of the inspector OF
street railways be called to the matter.
The letter of Lieutenant Swindells was
referred by the Commissioners to the En-
gineer Department, and Inspector L. p.
Bradshaw has reported. saying:
THE circumstances of the killing of the
dog and the accident TO the boy, reported
by Lieutenant swindells. upon investiga-
ton. were found TO be as follows: In the
case OF the dog its death was caused by
shock from contact with the conductor
rails, Il having in its frantic efforts TO get
out of the pit. before the pitman could get
hold Of II, jumped into the conduit. In
which confined space sucn contact was I'M
ayoidable. AS TO the boy, he had been re-
peatedly warned away from the pit by the
pitman. and the accident TO him was di-
rectly due 10 his having dropped into 1t
from the rear of the car while in the act
OF stealing ride. The time between cars
renders It practically necessary that these
pits should be kept open during service
hours. and by way OF warning of the dan
ger red flags are displayed between tracks
during the day and red lights at night.
These precautions, in addition to the
fact that tho presence OF the pitman Is re-
CURED at all times in the hold 1t is
thought, will be sufficient to protect the
public against accident. The use Of the pit
on Tlirty1second Street. north OF p Street,
since the Tenleytown section has been run
ming on az Independent schedule has been
discontinued"

PROTEST AGAINST A SCHOOL.

Collins e. Gaddis, OF 81 Eleventh Street
northwest, have written to the Commits
sioners, protesting against property in the
neighborhood of First and r and First and

school sites.
"a very long petition" they write
'signed by various property and
residents of lexington and vicinity. rela-
tive to a school site, was presented TO us
for our signature, and signed by us 1t
was explained to us that among others
school sites were offered in the neighbor-
hood of Frs and X, First and S, First
and T, and on First and Thomas Streets.
and as the owners of twenty-five houses
In that locality. we desire further to enter
our most emphatic protest against the Sc
lection of either of the above mentioned
sites
"Our knowledge OF property and values
in the neighborhood In which q school site
is desired causes US most heartily TO agree
atith the petitioners that the most suitable
location for the new school house is where
the green house is now located at the
corner OF Lincoln and Prospect Avenues.
We most earnestly hope that the wishes of
many property -owners in this section will
be regarded and this site selected"
The letter Of Collins & Gadds has been
,sJted by the Commissioners, and will be
considered when the question OF the school
house in question is next taken up.

The Blaine Club.

The Blaine Club, of Port Huron, held
its annual meeting in the auditorium
at the above place on Thursday even
ing, April 20, 1900. The event was a
notable one, with an attendance of
about 500 guests, and the enthusiasm
and inspiration eminating from the
meeting was beyond measure. Eugene
+. Law is the president of the club,
and delivered the address of welcome.
The Blaine Club is little more than
four years old, having been organized
in February, 1896. This meeting show
ed the youth and vigor of the organiza-
ton. In every way we consider it, ii
was success. In its banquet there
was nothing to be added; in the attend
ance from the Thumb, and other parts
of the state, no one, even the most san
guine could have asked for more; and
in the addresses delivered, it is rare
occasion when Port Huron will have
such an array of talent to present at a
feast as was then the case.
The foregoing addresses were made
by Ex-Gov. Rich, Hon. James O'Don-
nell, Judge Waite, and Congressman
Weeks. Distinguished guests were in
attendance from all over the state. OF
the guests who were in attendance
from Yale we notice the names of
James Wallace, Harvey Tappan and j
A. MenZies.
