Lake Prickett. a bartender at the
Hotel Manley. who lives over c. H.
Bartlett's grocery on Jackson street,
has symptoms of the dread disease,
smallpox. Mr.. Prickett has been sick
and away from his work for several
days past and this morning called
that recognized authority on conta-
cious diseases, DR.. J. H. Brownfleld.
When seen by West Nirginian re-
porter shortly after his visit, the Doc
tor would not state if the case was
smallpox or chickenpoX, although he
admitted that it resem bled both AL
though not very sick, Prickett is
broken out and some symptoms re-
sembIe the ones common to the more
serious malady. DR.. Brownfield no
titled Mayor kinsey that the case was
serious enough to have careful watch
ing and the City Physician, DR.. Hal
Hall was notified, but was unavoid-
ably detained for several hours. He
at once requested police protection
for the house and Assistant Chief
Bartholow has had the premises un-
der surveillance since early morning
Located as it is in the heart OF the
city, too much precaution is imposS1-
bic and the place will be under quar-
antine until the nature of the case IS
determined beyond the faintest shad-
ow of doubt.

TERDAY.

Saturday and Sunday our excite
ment was caused by women That
was bad enough. We do not like to
mention such things but the people
want the news and must have it. Not
satisfied with such horrfd things, last
evening. an officer of the law and a
newspaper reporter got into quar-
rel right in the temple of Justice
even more, right in Squire Amos
Office So loud did they become that
the Squire had to call them down
several times. All this because the
reporter. asked the officer when GER
tain interesting trial was to be- a
reporter surely has the privilege to
ask such a question. Being what we
call decent question, most officers
would have answered It's and that
would have settled IT. But not SO
this time Great men will hold diff
ferent views and this time they be-
came SO dlfferent that the 'squire's
presence alone prevented a rough
and tumble bout, with the odds Of

FREMONT, N. J., June 21.-When
the Inquest into the Slocum disaster
was resumed before Coroner Berry
and a jury this morning, Deckhand
Daniel O,Niel swore that he never
participated in fire drill on board of
the Slocum.
Assistant District Attorney Garvin
created something of a sensation in
the court by questioning The witness
relative TO another fire which occur
red on the Slocum the day before the
disaster. Asked if it was not a fact
that a fire took place on the steamer
the day before, he said: 4 never
heard of any fire"
O'Neill told a graphic story OF the
fire and declared that the fire hose
burst as soon as the water was turn
ed on He swore that an attempt
was then made to bring the deck hose
into use
ONeill was asked if he had not
been warned by the man in the small
boat not to jump, as the boat was full
and he admitted that this was fact
Everett Brandow, second engineer
on the Slocum followed O'Neill- He
had been on the Slocum for SIX sea
sons. The fire fighting apparatus
consisted of two stand pipes and the
donkey engine which. pumped the
water into it. There We're no appl1-
ances on the steamer for flooding
the holds in case of emergency.
Brandow said he received no verbal
orders from the captain while the fire
was in progress. He stayed in the
engine room until the Slocun1 was
hard and fast aground and saw none
of the officers or crew after the hre
broke out.
