SMALLPOX ON STEAMBOAT.
Coal Passer Seized With Disease and
Removed to Hospital.

Taken sick during the voyage from Nor
folk on Saturday, Clarence Stewart. a col
ored coal passer on the Norfolk and Wash
ington line steamer Washington, was ad
mitted to an isolated ward at the Provi
dence Hospital upon the arrival of the
vessel at this port. Yesterday it became
almost certain that he was suffering from
smallpox. and ne was removed to the
quarantine station. The telltale eruption
on Stewards body was strongly In evidence
this morning and he was transferred to
the smallpox hospital. Beyond stating that
there Is smallpox in Norfolk and that the
patient probably contracted the malady In
that port, the health authorities were I'M
able to place the source of infection. The
steamer was disinfected, and Stewards
companions in the coal passers' quarters
were vaccinated, but the health office VEN
turned the belief that there was little
danger of further spread of the disease.
Since last week there have been five pa
tents discharged from the smallpox hos
pital as cured Of the malady, and, with
Stewart there are now nineteen patients in
the institution.

which the Washington printing establish
ments have established reputation.
