RAPHTNE,
December 81, 1900,

This section was startled last Mon
day, the Oath, when 1t began to b,
rurored that smallpox had again bro.
ken out and this time at Vesuvius on
the Norfolk and Western Railroad
For day or two the rumors were yerj
conflicting, the cases beng reported at
from one to half a dozen and at differ
ent places. The truth is, there is one
case SO far, and that of very marked
type. A young man named Fitz-
gerald. who had been working on a
section of the railr lad at Buchanan.
came home about a week before
Christmas. He was not feeling we'll
for several days, but kept going around
promiscuously. On Monday an erup-
ton appeared on his face, and DIR.
Hall Thomas was sent for. He exam.
ined the case at long range and ordered
it to be qusrantined for future devel-
opments. BY next day he had no
doubt as to the nature Of the malady.
Immediate steps were taken to quaran-
tine this persol and all who had come
into immediate contact with hun in the
past few days so far as could be aseer-
tanned. There was some "kicking" al
first on The part Of some OF those held
in duress, but the one in authority was
firm, and they soon quoted down and
accepted the situation. That there
will be other cases is almost sure, as
several persons in the house he is in;
besides he came in contact or was with
;ome ten or twelve at other houses.
All these are being strictly guarded and |
confined to their respective houses.

THE RETURNED SUMMER WaADERER TELLS A STORY.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Roundlie was narrating some of the
scenes and Incidents of his European trip
to his circle at the club. He said:

cigar. After we had been locked in he dis

yond n woman was locked up with us. At
once she began to sniff at the fog created
by our fellow passenger. When he discov-
cred that the woman was annoyed by It he
threw away the remains he was smoking
and 1T a fresh one. just to show how vici-
Gus he could he when challenged. He went
to work on 1t like a bellows. taking pains
to blow the smoke into her corner as far
as possible.
"She began TO make remarks to her dog
about It, and the intelligent animal looked
at the enemy fierceIy. The latter was an
noyed and the surrounding smoke got
thicker.
"At last the remarks to the dog waxed

the cigar from her neiShbor's face and
tossed 1T through the window. The indig-
nant victim got back at her like touching
off a key Of powder.
Quick as a flash he seized the dog And
hurled it after the cigar. Not a word had
been exchanged. but each made up f6t It

later. Bent upon mutual revenge, they over

declared that he had been robbed of the
