FREEZING WEATHER.
Hog Killing Inagurated in the
County Yesterday.

Many of the farmers began killing
hogs yesterday, as the cold weather
of Saturday dropped the mercury
below the freezing point and the ice
has formed several mornings. AS
there is not likely to be much more
mild weather, the slaughter of hogs
will be general this week.

Smallpox Scare Is Rapidly
Abating.
FOUR NEW CITY CASES.
ALI Cases Now in Hand and
No Further Danger Is
Anticipated.

The developments IN the smallpox
situation since last week have been:
First-A general rounding up Of
the negro patients and combining
them in the hospital at Concord and
Gracey.
Second-The wholesale vaccination
of the entire population.
Third-The appearance of four
new cases in the city.
Fourth-The discharge of many of
the old cases.
The confinement of the negro pa
tients has been going on systematic
ally. 1t was soon seen that all of
the housed intended for both races
on the poor farm would be needed
for the negroes. The houses are all
about full. There were 40 Saturday
and two more from the city were
put in Sunday and several let out as
cured. There are now between 40
and so in the hospital north of town,
in charge of Dock Littlefeld and
Tom Allen.
At GIacey DR.. Crow took hold Of
bad condition of affairs and now has
it well in hand. A pest house was
established in a group of cabins near
the town and by Saturday night %
negroes had been rounded up and
placed under shotgun quarantine.
j. E. Anderson and othere are in
charge. AS nearly everybody in
Gracey has been vaccinated and
many negroes have had the smallpox,
the danger there is over. The ne
groes now confined in both hospitals
are the old cases and do not repre-
sent a further spread.
Vaccination has proceeded in a
most energetic manner. The city
doctors have vaccinated thousands.
DR.. Woodland alone has vaccinated
over 700 and DR.. Mcdaniel Saturday
broke all records by vaccinating 260
in one day. All doctors of the county
are instructed to vaccinate everybody
and while the expense is going to be
heavy it will soon get at the seat of
the trouble.
The new cases in the city Sunday
were promptly reported. J.B. Red
mond, on West Nineteenth street,
had been suspected for several days
and had been quarantined before he
broke out. Mrs. Ledford, corner
Virginia and Eighteenth streets, de-
veloped case Sunday and her house
was promptly quarantined. Two
negroes, new CAGES, were repoIted
and were taken at once to the county
hospital.
The discharging of patients is be-
ing done carefully and not too hasti-
ly. All infected premises are disin-
fected. One case developed Friday
that was not reported until after
Saturdays paper came out. 1t was
that of Miss Hall, on East Seven
teenth street. Her father had the
disease some time ago and did not
report it to the authorities. Hence
the second case. The family attemp-
ted to ignore the quarantine 'estab-
lished, but DR.. Woodland is having
the house closely watched.
The few white cases in the city
have not been moved, but Judge
Fowler is fixing up the old work
house property inside the city for a
citv hospital and it will be used if
other cases develop.

short strip of land which the railroad company offers to put in condition for use as a temporary highway if the city will assume the responsibility of keep ing it in repair and free the company from any suit for damages resulting 1 from any injury received thereon. By an order dated August 12, 1892, the New , York, New Haven and Hartford and 1 the New Haven and Derby railroads lwere to finally make the land into a | first-class highway, with curbstone and | granite pavement. In return for this | the city was to deed a nearby strip of land to the railroad company to use for laying tracks on. The present offer is | to make a dirt street with wooden sidewalk on the south side of 1t, which lis designated as a temporary high way to be used until new depot is erected
 l There was considerable discussion as l to whether it would be advisable to ac- lcept the offer of the railroad company, land many members of the board were not familiar with the order of August l 12, 1892, and how it's clauses should be After considerable discus sion and many arguments pro and con lit was voted to leave the matter to the street committee to be investigated. A discussion arose as to the means 1 of preventing the illegal erection of ad- lvertising signs along the public side walks. Many merchants seem ignor- | ant of the ordinance requiring them to ! get permit to erect a sign, and that "a lit is to be erected. The discussion as ] to the way of preventing the abuse and ievading of these ordinances was So long drawn out and unproductive of results that the meeting adjourned without taking any action on the matter.

BRYAN PLAYS PARKER
 AND THINGS GENERALLY
(continued from First Page).

(continued from First Page). trust him. Maybe he will blossom as a
 champion of free and unlimited coinage
 Of silver. If he does that I tell you
 I shall be too busy on my farm to come and help you.
 T charge here that while Parker has concealed his views from the people. he has made them known to the men behind him.
 What is MT. Belmont's consideration in the Parker candidacy? He is too shrewd a finaneier to invest his money without being sure of the return of the goods. The democrats of this coun- |try will not look favorably upon hy- pocrisy. If MT. Parker dealt honestly he would say to Mr. Belmont what he |says to others, that his lips are seal ed, and if he did so he would not be
 MT. Belnont's candidate
 Tt has been fraudulent campaign.
 They have openly bought men at the conventions, and any man who coun- |tenances that work does not deserve
 the office Of president.
 You and I may differ on questions |of the hour, but you will agree with
 me that the right of democrats to ex- press their views at conventions ad- |mits os no dispute.
 Tn Connecticut men were bought at the convention in Parker's interests
 T denounce MT. Parker's candidacy as one carried on by a tralnpling upon
 the rights of democrats. believe if
 elected he would be great disap-
 pointment. We had one democratic president who betrayed his country; |one who sold himself to Wall street, and God forbid we should have an- other.
 T was not defeated by the principles of the Chicago and Kansas City plat
 forms; but because had to carry the |sins of a traitorous president who be-
 trayed his party. It was the Cleveland
 administration, with it's damnable odi- |um, that defeated me.
 "Ckevelands first administration was not so bad. I think his four years res idence in New York between his terms Twas bad for him. He threw away his
 opportunity and turned over to Wall street. My protest to-day against Belmont, Cleveland and the rest is that they are taking the party back to Wall street.
 Corruption at the polls IS increasing all over the country and even a United States senator has been convicted of bribery. Public conscience is being de
 bauched. And now the democrats here
 in New York are trying to get a bigger campaign fund with which to stand be- tween them and Roosevelt. Parker is travelling as a negative quantity. He stands for nothing posi- tive. He reminds me of the story of the man in praise of a child who said that it looked and breathed. So Parker looks at the great financial lights and breathes.
 l Let me appeal to you to consider the issue as plutocracy against dem- Iocracy. If I were able to paint pie lture I would draw one of vide spreading tree. On it's trunk would linscribe Democracy. and on it's
 branches the words, 'anti-trust.' anti imperialism. and the like. And to the
 acts of plutocracy aimed at that trunk I .Woodnan, spare that tree.'

 TURF.

Yale Gymnasium Director to Instruct.
 Dr. w. G. Anderson, of the Yale Gymnasium, has received an invita- tion from the Department of Education of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition to deliver course of ten lectures be- fore special meetings of this depart ment in the latter part of August. The subject which he has chosen to lecture upon is Dancing and will be treated from historical physiological and psy- chological standpoints.
 Dr. Anderson has also been request ed to demonstrate the advantages of his newly invented .muscle-bed' and sergograph." The only muscle-bed in existence is now in the gymnasium, and experiments are continually being made with it to prove Dr. Anderson's s theories.
 The directors of the St. Louis tExposi- tion have recognized the value of the work and research which the Yale Gymnasium authorities have been pur- suing during the past five years, and it should be a source of much gratifica- tion to the university at large that this invitation is extended to Dr. Ander- Sop
