Denies Smallpox Story

Major D. w. Higgins, United States commissioner at Ketchikan, denies the story put in circulation that smallpox is prevalent at that place. In the P.-l. he says:
 "At the village of Saxman, three miles south of Ketchikan, an infectious skin disease is prevalent among the Indians, but it is not smallpox. Sax man, nevertheless, is quarantined. The disease attacks the Indians, and also dogs, but strangely enough white men are absolutely immune. There has not been single case among the Ameri- cans, though many of them have been exposed to the contagion."

the wide doors leading to the family
apartments on stills. He went up the lit

What do you do?" he demanded of
one of the doorkeepers. whose business

awaiting a reply, he launched into de-

This is the first step taken toward
bringing Mrs. Bonine to trial since she
was indicted by the grand jury on July Z

Jail Mrs. Bonine is reported to have en-
ioyed the very best of health. In keeping

Jail ii is said she weighed but 90 pounds,
and now her weight Is stated to be 102

ing an assault on Charles Slaughter. also

TO SELL HOUSE DESKS.
Few Remaining Not Reserved by
REPRESENTATIVES..

Desks that have been I'm use in the
House of Representatives since 1877 will
be sold at public auction within the next
two weeks.
There are 351 desks, the great majority
of which have been in constant use for
the past twenty-eight years. The law
passed last Congress directing the Clerk
OF The House to sell the desks at public
auction contained provision giving the
members Of the House the privilege of re-
serving their desks by purchase from the
Clerk at the average price brought by
the desks at auction.
Thus far all the desks have been re-
served but thirty, and probably before
Sloan * Co. can offer the desks to the
highest bidder this number will be re-
dUCcd. Several letters were received yes
terday from members, asking that their
old desks be put aside
In the remaining desks to be sold will
be found. il is said. the desk occupied by
the late Pre- sident Mckinley when he was
a member of the Fifty-first Congress; also
Tom Reeds desk. and the one dscd by
Blaine. In fact. there will be at least q
dozen historical desks among the number
sold at auction.
IL is not likely. however. that the mem
berg who have reserved their old desks
will be willing to pay any fancy price fer
them

PLANS FOE ELEVETED ROAD.
First Step Taken Toward the Con.
templated Work.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Co. has
completed arrangements for double
tracking the cutoff extending from Edge
Moor to Delaware junction and as soon
as that work is completed the through
freight trains will be run over the cutoff
instead of through the city. This is the
first step toward elcvating the main line
through this city.
-Ae present road through the city is
to be elevated from Landlith to near the
west yard, and as a new freight yard is
to be located at Edge Moor, the west
yard will probably be used for the
storage and care Of passenger cars and
the making up Of passenger trains. The
pling for the new shops at Todd's Cut
and freight yard at Edge Moor will be
driven as soon as the weather will per.
nit 1t is said that the company has
not selected q site for the new passenger
station, but it will probably be in the
vicinity of Front and Market streets.
The freight station will remain ut
Fourth and Pine streets for the presnet.
