developed case of smallpox in the de-
partment of the auditor of freight receipts
in the general Office building of the At
lantic Coast Line here where upwards of
500 clerks are employed, is causing some
uneasiness among the people of the city,
though the health authorities claim that
they have the situation well in hand
The patient is A. H. Hilburn, who, with
his roommate, II. ]. Beere, has been sent
TO the pest-house outside the city limits.
Hilburn is native of Albany, Ca, and
spent Christmas there, where smallpox
is said to be prevalent. He had been sick
a week upon his return to Wilmington,
and had been at work only an hour today
when the presence of an eruption on his
face led to an investigation by DR.. J. c.
VESSEL, of the Coast Line relief depart
ment. Over a hundred clerks in the single
room where Hilburn worked, were at once
vaccinated and the place fumgated. The
Y. NJ. G.. A. rooms, where a number Of
young men, including Hiburn, lodged,
we're also fumigated. 1t is not thought
an epidemic will follow the case dscov-
cred today as all possible precaution has
been taken.

OF the District of Columbia. Mr. John R.
Sneeden, a well known young white man
OF TINS city, was re-arrested by Deputy

AS was expected, the nuncbr Of
miles OF railway laid in the half year
just ended was not quite so great as in
the same tine in 1908, the mileage in
the siA months just closed being ] ,927,
as compared with 2.22l in the same
time last year. The decline in the
general volume of activities through
out the country is, of course. respon-
sihle for the shrinkage in railway con
struction, says the Globe Democrat.
The building of roads. like all other
employments, has its periods of ebks
and flows. While there is a chance
that the mileage for the second half OF
1904 may be greater than it was in the
first half. there Is no longer any reason
to suppose that the 5,OOo-mile mark
will be exceeded in the railway con
struction of this year
The Southwest has taken the lead
this year as in former seasons. in ex.
tent of railway construction. okla
homa, the Indian territory and Texas
are growing rapidly in business. and
this condition is reflected in the large
number Of miles OF railway being built
there. In the whole territory indus
trially and commercially tributary to
St. Louis the business outlook is es-
pecially bright. In seven states and
territories Of the Southwest 500 miles
OF track were laid in the half year.
which is a much larger proportion than
in any other locality in the country in

1902 and 1908, however, there will be

In these Louisiana province centen.

hear that this section stands high in
the number Of miles Of railway under

thirds OF that OF the whole country

and creates a situation that ought TO

The particular feaure we refer to is

Chairman Walker says, was issued in

used for another purpose.
