BABY RETAINER BURIED.
The Third Victim of Smallpox
 Laid at Rest in Calvary.

The Burial Party Had Difficult Time
 in Making It's Way in and Out of the Cemetery-Patients Now at Hospital Getting Along Nicely--St Ann's aud
 Town Plot Schools Will Open Mon
 day.
 Health Officer Kilmartin and Sani- tary Inspector Moses buried the body of George Trepannier, the 3months- old child of Mir and Mrs Charles Ire pannier, who died at the isolation nos-
 pital yesterday, in Calvary cemetery
 at an early hour this morning. It was pitch dark and after smoothing down the little tots lonely pillow the funeral director and his assistant got tangled up in the burying ground and had quite time of it finding the exit.
 The body was prepared for burial at
 the isolation hospital, lhe same pre-
 caution being used in that case as was with the bodies Of the two full grown victims, Coffey and Dunham. The route lay along the winding road from the hospital on the town farm onto the IWatertown road, thence along West
 Main street to Central avenue, and along the latter street to Grove street; across Grove to Vine and then down
 North Elm to East Main, and thence along East Main to the cemetery. The night they buried John Coffey the moon and myriads of stars looked on and
 shed almost as much light as the noon
 day sun does, but on this occasion
 neither moon nor star was in sight,
 and the lanterns was a poor substitute. In consequence they practically had to feel their way through Gods acre until they came to the narrow bed wherein the remains of the baby were laid away there to remain until they shall answer the summons of the Divine Master and join the rest of the human family ill the great procession which is to take place when this earth shall
 have passed out of existence and man ceases to be lord of creation. It was
 difficult and melancholy task, but it was performed with the utmost solici- tude, and when all that was necessary
 to do had been done the tired and weary workers turned towards home, but owing to the darkness they missed the road and trayersed every driveway
 III the enclosure before they found the big iron gate that opens onto the Che shire road that abuts the graveyard At one time they thought they were under the influence of some mysteri- ous being, and Health Officer Kilmar-
 tin, remembering an old legend about such things which he had heard from
 the lips of ono still dear to him. but long since dead, was in the act of turn ing his coat inside aut with a view to breaking the charm, when Harry Moses
 bumped against the gate, and after this all was plain sailing and the party
 showed up in the center shortly before the clock in the City hall tower tolIed
 the hour of 3 a. m.
 The health officer and the inspecfor
 were about town to-day looking as
 chlpper as if they had been in bed at thelr usual hours for retiring. and
 while they didn't care to talk ahout
 their mixup in the cemetery still thay showed no disposition to deny if nr
 hilmartin said that all the Fest of Inc patients are doing we'll. He also said that the Town Plot school and St Anns parochial school will reonen navt Monday, the understanding being that none but vaccinated pupils will be ad-
 nltted and that no one will be talyan ill at St Ann's from the ouarantinod districts.
