WAS NOT VACC|NAT[D.
Malignant Form Of Smallpox
in Nurse Yeager's Case
Due TO This Cause.

Miss Fannie Corr, the trained nurse,
who is the latest victim Of smallpox, and
was removed to the smallpox hospital
Monday afternoon. is reported to be get
ting along well and from present indi-
cations. no fear is entertained of her
death. She has very mild case, and it
is thought she will soon recover. Miss
Corr has been repeatedly vacclnated, and
Z it is due to this fact that the disease
has taken such mild form.
The authorities at the City Hospital
feel confident that they have succeeded
in conquering the disease AT the first
appearance of it In the hospital. every
person, in any way connected with the
institution, was vaccinated and the few
cases which have developed have been
SO carefully guarded that no one has come
in contact with it save the attending
nurses and DR.. Sandidge, and it is not
thought possible for it to spread.
DR.. Sandidge is now the only person
under quarantine and he shows no
signs whatever of the contagion and has
not the slightest fear that he has con-
tracted 1t.
Miss Yeager, who died on Saturday, had
never been vaccinated until smallpox
broke out in the institution, and she had
been in contact with it several days.
This fact was known at the time when
she, with the rest Of the inmates of the
hospital, were vaccinated. 1t was after
wards learned that she had never been
vaccinated, or if she had. it had never
taken. This is the reason assigned for
the malignant form the disease assumed
in her case, and her subsequent death.
Miss Allen. who is nursing Miss Corr,
has had smallpox, and is in no danger

A strangely interesting business meet
ing was held at Fords Hotel on Tuesday
afternoon.
Some of the stockholders of the Old
Dominion Granite Company were those
who composed the meeting. This con-
Germ has been out o. business for many
years. but in accordance with the law
the stockholders have to come together
annually to elect officers. The charter
of the organization has not expired and
a great deal of business has not yet been
adjusted. When a Dispatch man called
at the hotel, he was ushered into one Of
the rooms, where three elderly gentle
men sat surrounded by old ledgers. day

seen for the pile of books. When the re-
porter asked the secretary for a report Of
officers elected for the ensuing term that
officer shook his head and said: Why,
we are only meeting to fulfill the require
ments Of the law and whom we elect
as officers would be Of no interest to
the public. Why our company has not
been heard Of for years" One Of the
officials comes from Philadelphia every

BOYS COMMIT THEFT.

Chief-of-Police Lipscomb believes that
zone of the numerous thefts which have
been reported in Manchester of late have
been committed by boys whose minds
have been depraved by the use of cigar
cites and by frequenting places of ILL
repute.
Only few weeks ago a large number
OF small boys were arrested near the
Semmes street-car barns or the charge
OF gambling, They had in their possess
sion large bottle of whiskey from
which they drank until they were almost
Intoxicated.
Another nuisance which, is being car
ried on in Manchester is the sale of
cigarettes 10 small boys. Many of the
merchants sell the youngsters cigarettes
in any quantity ranging from l cent and
upwards.
