The inspector OF the state board OF
health has been unable TO discover the
three Italians who escaped from the house
on Federal hill where the boy with the
smallpox was found. All portions OF the
city where Italians live have been thor
| ough1y searched, but without success and
there is little chance OF locating the men
now. The men must have the germs OF
smallpox with them. and spread them
every where they so, SO II Is Of import
ance that the men are captured. The men
gave their names as Tomaso Dontc. Ton
10 Rich and Franco Bine, but they are
most likely fictitious. 300 Italians are EN-
ployed az the Atlantic mills. Manton ave-
nue.. Olneyville. and the Inspector win
visit these mills tomorrow and examine
and vaccinate many.
