 The quarantined parties are bein liberated from time to time, and afte . the present week but few places WI be placarded. At the present time looks as if we'll have no more nei. cases and with favorable weather th disease will soon be thing of the pas i'll Waterbury, and it is hoped that tn nalady will not visit Us again for th next hundred years.
 There was big sensation in connes tion with the smallpox matter to-da when Officer Hickey arrested Charls McGowan, young man who jumpe the quarantine at the Mccarthy bloc last week and was at large three day before anybody else i'll the building The authorities were bound to captur him, but it is thought that they woul not have been successful had it nc been for the valuable aid rendere them by McGowan himself, who said to have called around among til boys and boasted of how cleverly had fooled the cops. It isn't know how McGowan succeeded in making hi escape, but it is safe to state that Il got. out while the guard was looSin the other way. He was ill compan with q young lady when the officer collared him and marched him off the police station. leaving his fair con panion to take care of herself. Tn warrant for his arrest was sworn or by President Lawlor of the board ( health, who claims that the man ha committed a criminal offense. He wi be given a hearing tomorrow.
 Some of the patients at the isolatio hospital have become so frisky that has been found necessary to place guard there and from now on q polio officer will be on duty there night an day with instruction to club any the inmates that show a disposition /! be unruly. Of course the officer wi not go on the inside, but if anyone n tempts to leave the place without pc mission he'll get dose that will kees him indoors longer than the smallpoi Owing to the fact that some of th parties have been let go out of a fe' of the quarantined buildings. it Ina been decided to reduce the guard | these places so that at the present tim one officer is doing duty where herr tofore two were employed. This ha been done so as to keep down expense and it is regarded as wise nov About all there is needed is to war strangers away and keep children at safe distance from the buildings. Tn people on the inside have become Il customed to what is expected of thel and it is much easier to handle thel than it was few weeks ago.
 I Chaput and Veayette the two lates, smallpox patients, were removed to tho isolation hospital last night.
 Dr Kilmartin said to-day that th. l Wayside Inn and the Lawlor blocl will be fumigated this afternoon ans the quarantine lifted tomorrow. Fiv, l families will also Vbe liberated at tn, Bernier block on lower Baldwin stree | tomorrow.
 People who have presents intende, for the patients at the isolation hos pital are requested to leave the arti cles at the office of the board of healtT in the City hall building. They vii not be allowed to deliver them them | selves. I Notwithstanding many reports t' l the contrary. James +. Barnes of 6l East Clay street the well known driv- CT for the City Ice company. is stil living and enjoying the best of health For the past few weeks reports hay,
 been circulated frequently that hi
 vaccination had been attended witt dire results. Some of the reporti I were that the arm had swollen to foul times it's natural size. that he was il q New Haven hospital and had los his arm. Later he was in q dyins condition and finally he was dead, S, Dame Rumor said. The well knowI
 iceman must have been kept rathe
 busy denying these absurd reports The anti-vaccinationists were in tn habit of sustaining their argument
 against the evils of vaccination by re ferring to the case of MT Barnes, wh
 had lost his arm. Mir Barnes feeling
 may be better imagined than describe, |
 saw persons viewing him carefull
 and minutely to see if he were tn
 real man that they knew. One da
 last week friend of the writer win
 had seen the well known driver in tn
 morning, was ill a barber shop wher
 there were q number of persons
 While there, smallpox became the sub
 ject of conversation. There were on
 or two anti-vaccinationists in the spal ty. They argued against vaccinatio
 and pointed out the case of Jame
 Barnes, who had died from the effect
 of vaccination. When the writer
 friend told of seeing Mir Barnes tha
 very morning the subject of vaccina
 tion was no longer agreeable to tn
 anti-yaccinationists.
