N CASE SMALLPOX.
Compulsory Vaccination Order Will Be
Enforced.

One new case of smallpox was reported
today at 322 East Park street and the
sufferer, Charles Grant, was taken out
t. the pest house. This is the only case
in four days.
Drs. Alexander and Bryant have con-
cluded to enforce the compulsory vac
cination law at once and today will
name two men, if good ones can be
found, to make the They will
be sworn in as special policemen and will
ave the full power of regular policemen.
The reason that compulsory vaccination
was not enforced before was because
some of the councilmen believed thai it
wou be best to give everybody a chance
to get v~accinated.
The health officers say that they intend
to carry out the orders OF the council to
the letter, and if a person cannot show
a certificate of vaccination he will be ar
rested and fined and after this has been
lone he will be escorted to the office .oc-
cupied by DR.. Bryant and be forced, to
submit to the operation. The officers
say that they mean business and if pos
sible will stamp out the disease in this
city. ,8
Since his appointment as assistant city
physician. DR.. Bryant has v~accinated 800
people and the majority of them have
been boys and girls. He says that there
is a number OF cases which nave been re-
ported to him of persons who absolutely
refuse to submit to the operation, and
these are the first people he is going to
send the special policemen after.
Another matter which the doctor In
tends to enforce is the law requiring all
physicians to report contagious diseases
to the health officer. This has not beer
lone in the past but DIR. Bryant says
that it will be don in the future.

Emil L. Boas agent for the Hamburg-American

Mr.. Roas believed, they were not enough in de-

ander Nein, president Of the Hagerstown Bank.
The president J. W Randall delivered the annual
address He congratulated the association on It's
success and the country upon its increased pros
perity, characterizing the last year phenomnal
in that respect. This prosperity he attributed
mainly the restoration of public confidence in
the stability Of National financial system, and
this confidence, he asserted, is chiefly due to the
passage OF the act Of Congress- approved March Il,
1900 reaffrming the National banking system and
establishing gold as the basis of the National cur
rency. adding: we are now at the crest perhaps
of one Of the most remarkable periods Of prosperity

sTRrCTrRAL STEEL HOLDS FIRM
PIG IRON PRICES HAVE REACHED THE BOT
TOM, ACCORDING TO INDICATIONS.


There will be no change in the price Of structural
steel for the present at rate This decision was
reached by the members of the Structural Assoca-
ton at meeting held yesterday afternoon at the
Holland House. They agreed that the price OF steel
should remain at its present figure of about SSS a
ton Among the members who attended the meet
ing were c. NJ. Schwab. of the Carnegie Company;
R B. Mellon Arthur V. Davis, A. ]. Wurts, Frank
d Smith and representatives of the Cambria Iron
Company the Pencoyd Iron Works Jones & Laugh
lin Company and the Passaic Rolling Mills
officials of the Carnegie Company and the Fed
eral Steel Company had comment 10 make yes

both companies contemplated a further cut in
prices and that they soliciting business at any
price. President Gary Of the Federal Steel Com
pany through his representative that he never
paid any attention to trade rumors, and the Car
negie representatives would only say that they did
not know what going on at Pittsburg.
companies were not inclined to discuss trade mat
ters, beyond admitting that the 2 cut in pig iron
to SIG might be followed by other reductions. On
the other hand, the statement made recently by
President Gary that prices seem TO have reached
the bottom is substantially borne out by the state
ment that several large commission houses had bid
for eight months supply of certain brands of
pig iron. 1t is considered noteworthy that this is
the first offer to buy pig iron for so long period
not concluded because satisfactory terms could not
made.
