the Jail has been continuously under quar-
antine, the period of probation after Sweets
case having just ended when two more sus-
poets, Daniel Bradley and Clark Lee show
ed unmistakable signs of the disease Both
were also sent to the hospital. where Sweet
subsequently died Each of the 3S5 pris-
oners at the jail, including several whose
terms have ended, and who are being held
only on the strength of the quarantine re-
quirement of the health regulations has
been subjected to daily examination since
the second outbreak of smallpox, but no
more cases have developed. Unless the un-
expected occurs the quarantine will be rails
er tomorrow evening.
