A ATERRIBLE FIRE.
Eleven Hundred Men Are Thrown Out
of Work.

Cleveland, Ohio. Dec. @17.-Fire early
today almost entirely destroyed the big
plant of the Brown Hosting Convey Ma
chine company. Five out of the seven
buildings used by the company are in
ashes. and property estimated to be
worth over 100000 was entirely con-
sumed. Eleven hundred workmen ara

The flames started in the varnish

EPIDEMIC GROWS
NEW SMALLPOX CASES OF DAILY
OCCURRENCE.
BREEDING NESTS OF DISEASE
Saloons and Cheap Lodging Places
Where the Victims Gather and
! Hide.

There is no abatement in the ravages
of smallpox in Anaconda, and hardly a
Cay passes without new cases being
heard from.
There is certainly woeful lot of neg
lect somewhere, and there seems to be
perfect indifference in some sources as
to the prevailing conditions.
SO far the city authorities have done
nothing towards stamping out the dis
ease. Apparently they are not inclined
to do anything; if they are, they have
not shown the disposition as yet
Persons afflicted with the disease have
been allowed to go upon the streets un-
molested. Only last Saturday a young
man with his face covered with eruptiOns
was seen entering the postoffice build
ing at a time when the room was filled
with ladies and children, who were there
to receive and send away mail matter.
The fellow brushed past several women
to deposit a latter, after which he re-
traced his steps and went onto the street
again. The next seen of him was in the
midst of crowd, admiring the Christ
mas novelties in the window of Greigs
store. He then went on and entered a.
Main street saloon, exposing everyone
with whom he came in contact Some
people who noticed the eruptions on the
and get cut of the way as rapidly as
possible, but none of the authorities
showed up to see that the individual was
sent to the isolation hospital for treat
ment.
DR. II. w. Stephens, county physician,
has been severely criticised by some of
late. bur when it comes down to plain
facts. he is about the only physician that
has undertaken to handle any smallpox
cases. The doctor asked the city council
to give him assistance in stamping out
the disease. and he also presented res
plution to the council intended to make
vaccination compulsory but he was sim
ply sat down on, his resolution died by
being ordered laid OH the table, and
every other suggestion made for the
benefit of the pepole was turned down.
The county has borne all the expense
of the smallpox cases up to this tinie
and the county authorities are beginning
to look upon it as unjust and believe the
city should join with the county and
share a part of the costs. But something
will have to he done. The detention hos
pital. or pest house. is almost taxed to
its capacity. and if it were not for the
cases under quarantine. and occasionally
isolated in other parts of the city,, it
would mot begin to hold all of the af-
fficted.
The smallpox problas1>-<s getting more
serious in Ai.ae5nda every day. There are
a-ar->ber of saloons and cheap board
ing houses in this city which are reeking
with filth-splendid places for smallpox
to breed-which ought to be cleaned up
andaAyith better regulations in ferreting
out new cases and promptly getting
them under quarantine, the city's health
would soon be whole lot better, the
disease would soon be checked. and citi-
zens would have no occasion for further
alarm.

The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

New York. Jan. 29.-Speculation in
cotton futures to-day was active, with
the course Of the market in the main
although considerable irregu-
larity was developed through altera-
tons OF bear and bull supremacy, while
the average was considerably above
basis. At one time Tie more
active positions. after opening at an adj
vance of ! to 8 points, showed a net
rise OF SMl3 points. The Improvement
was chiefly due to the favorable Eng
lish advices, in the face of continued
unfavora bile news from the scat OF war.
Private cables said the advance was
largely due to an advance OF Nd. in
Egyptian cotton during the last few
days and further 10 the fact that the
South continues to hold for higher
prices. The speculative movement in
the local market was very active. with
buying largely from England, but also
from Wall street. the South, the West
and from New England spinners.
During the afternoon the feeling was
weaker under proht-taking, following
predictions of larger receipts at the
ports with estimates for tomorrow,
particularly bearish. The market closed
steady, with prices points lower to six
points net higher.
