DID JAMES PITT
HAVE SMALLPOX
Question Arises Because of Sec.
Ond Attack Within a
Month.
FIRST AFFLICTED AUGUST IL.
Was Removed to Isolation Hospital and
Discharged as Cured August 2S---
Now Has it Again.

Two attacks Of smallpox inside Of
month is the phenomenal record of Jas
Pitt, an employe OF the a. G.. NJ. t.,
who resides at 62i west First North
street. Mr.. Pitt was first afflicted with
the disease on Aug ~, and was at
once removed to the isolation hospital
The attack was rather light and he was
released from the hospital on Aug %
as fully recovered.
Mr., Pitt returned to his home where
he remained for about six days when he
was again attacked with smallpox and
was sent 10 the hospital. where he is
now confined. The second attack, he
says, is more serious than the first one,
and he Is pretty well broken out with
pustules He is able TO be around, how
ever, and when called up over the tele-
phone today by "A News reporter
stated that he was getting along very
we'll 1t was suggested by the reporter
that perhaps his physician was mis-
taken about the first attack being
smallpox, and that he contra cted his
supposed second attack while confined
at the isloaton hospital the first time
His reply was that his physician and
the city physician both pronounced his
first attack smallpox and that was all
he knew about IT,
There Is one Of two things certain,
the case Is either decidedly phenOn-
email one and deserves place in the
annals Of science, or a serious mistake
was made I'm pronouncing the first at
tack smallpox and sending the man to
the isolation hospital where he was ex-
posed TO the dread contagion and con-
tracted a genuine case Of the disease.

SWANSEA ASSESSMENT.
Charges Alleged Against Officers
Vigorously Denied.

Much indignation was expressed some
time ago by some stockholders of the
Swansea Mining company over the ac-
ton taken by the board Of directors in
leyying an assessment Of Is cents a
share. 1t was claimed at the time that
the assessment was unnecessary, as
well as an eXorbitant tax upon each
individual who held stock In the corpor-
alton.
An examination of the companys
books has been made by a representa-
tive Of certain stockholders and the
allegation was made today that the ex-
animation disclosed that at least part
of the assessment money had been APP
piled 10 the payment OF salaries.
