part these officers took means while in
the islands to ascertain the real cause
OF the trouble, and in their opinion it is
due entirely 10 the feeling on the part
OF the military officials that too much
haste was made in turning over authority

AGAINST SMALLPOX.
DISEASE In NEARBY MOUNTAINS.
Appearance of Three Woodsmen. One
After Another. on the CIty's
streets StirS the Health
authorities.

UTICA. y. Y Jan. 2.-The recent an
prehensiOn in this city Of three wood
choppers from the Adirondacks region
suffering from smallpox. has thrown the
local health officers into a ferment OF ex-
element and stringent measures have
been pat into effect to prevent the posi-
bic spread of the disease.
Three UnweIcOme Guests.
The three victims OF the scourse at
present under treatment il the city came
from the vicinity OF Upper Lake. The
first Of the trio reached the city about
month ago and the nature Of his illness
was not discovered until he had mada the
rounds OF the city hall in quest Of the
charities department. Subsequently the
city hall was quarantincd and every city
Official including the mayor and employees
yaccinated.
Fellow Travellers NHcciuated.
Another woodsman. dangerously III OF
smallpOZ, came to town late Monday az
ternoon. His condition was discovered
al the New York Central depot and the
train in which he had travelled was quar-
ahtlutd. Inc passengers and troinmen
were compelled to submit TO vaccination
on the spot.
Fuesday another smallpox victim ar
rived, by the way OF the Mohawk and
Malone Railroad. and again there was a
general vaccination OF passengers and
traiumen.
Health officials Awaken.
This last case awoke the local health
authorities and New York Central Of
hcials to the gravity OF the situation. The
state health authorities were apprised
OF the serious condition OF affairs exist
ing among the Adirondack woOdchoppers.
and the danger to which railway passep-
gers We're subjected.
Trains on the Mohawk and Malone di-
vision OF the New York Central are now
Ragged before they enter she city limits.
