complained of being ill. Dr. Welch was called in at about 5.oO o'clock and after looking over the patient, suspected that he was atHicted with small pox. He at ouce informed the health authorities and Drs. Field ami Kicker visited the house just befoie 10 o'clock last evening, and after careful examination decided that small pox had a hold on the man, accordingly had him removed to the pest house.

Young Murphy is employed by John Sullivan of West BiHerica, as driver of a milk team, and bad customeia in the infected districts. Now it is claimed'that through his visits to this district, be contracted the disease, but Murphy, himself, has told parties that not only has he visited the district, but he has passed in aud out of Quariutineil Houses, while the policemen were off duty. This makes the case assume a more serious aspect, and also shows neglect on the part of the officers assigned to duty there. Today Dr. Ricker assumed the duties of resident physician of the pest house.

The fact that there are now four patients at the hospital warrants this move on the Dart of the health authorities. A Complaint Made. This forenoon a neighbor of the young man who was stricken with smallpox made complaint at THE Sox office, alleg ing that Murphy had stated that he felt certain of having contracted the disease bv visiting the Donahoe house on Crosby stieet. the officers not being there lo pie- qent him. He had said to this neighbor three days ago that he thought it a shame to oblige him to 20 into the quarantined house to leave milk, and appeared quite frishtened at having to do so.

Dr. Kicker at the Hospital. Dr. Kicker has taken up his residence until further notice at the pest house, city farm. He will have personal charge of the cases.

Another Complaint For a second time a complaint was made at THE Sux office this noon that the hoavc ofhealuhis permitting Murphy's bi other to distribute rnilk. They say that the yoane man who has just been to the pest house, has been distrsbufcing milk to customers in Ward Three up-till a-few days of his illness.

The members of the board of health were out on the new cases all this morning, so that at the time of going to press the latest report has not been confirmed. HETTER ON VACCINATION. BILL OP PARTICULARS. Outlines of it as Drawn for Introduction in tlie Legislature. The weavers' particulars bill which Bullock) of Fall River, proposes to introduce in the legislature this term is as follows: SEC.

1--Every employer or peison en- paged as weavers of cotton, woisted or woolen fabrics shall post or cause to be posted in two or more conspicuous places easy of access to such employes in tbe room wheieshe or he is to be employed, a plainly written or printed notice giving such specifications of their work that saeb weaver shall be able to ascertain be- eore beginning the rate of wages he or the may be entitled to receive for weaving the goods he or she is to be employed on. Sec. 2 Said specificatiou shall give the length in yards and width of each cut or picks' Reason Why People Should Take This Precaution. In Boston free vaccination ends tonight, and already 40,000 persons have beet treated by the city's physicians without fees. The board of health estimates that the cost of all this work since the day the stations were opened will be something liki 610.000, just double the first appropriation made by the city, or possibly more if the number of children to be vaccinated turns out to be larger than is now supposed.

Vaccine points come high and physicians have to be paid. A public letter by a prominent physician sets forth the necessity of vaccination. The thousands aud thousands of scarrec arms which have felt the momentary sting of the vaccine point, he chaiactemea as ai impregnable barrier over which the small pox invader may not cross. Kevertheless, he urges the necessity all leasonable precaution to guard agains' the possibility which always exists. In all there have been .30 cases of small pox iu Boston since tlie first victim was with the disease ou Jfov.

30. Then were 2." cases when the vaccination station were established on Dec. 19, the othe having been icported since. Of these patients four have died, am up to last night nine had been discharged Siic. 3--Any employer or agent coming nnder the provisions of this act, failing to comply with its requirements, shall be liable to a tine not exceeding nor less than S20 for the fitst offence and for each subsequent offence a line of SEC.

4--The governor of the commonwealth is hereby authorized to appoint yearly or as may be neccssaiy not exceeding three additional membeis of the inspection depaitment of the district police force, who shall he piactical weavers and also qualified to perform the duties of such department. SEC. 5--Any and all other acts or paits of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed. SEC. 0-- This act shall take effect oc its passage.

WOLFEXDEX, American House, Jan. 3, 1894. Discuisinir the Tariff Bill. A large meeting of the spinners vmio: was held last evening, probably the fac that the Wilson Mil was to be discusse had much to do in attracting jnany those bill was discussed a length but when a vote was token it wa thought to be very impolite to take an, action and so the proposition to place th on record as being opposed to th passage of the Wilson bill, and it was le cided to allow the delegates to the Centra Labor union to use their own judgmen in tbe metier. etter Legislation is One of the Most Tni- lioriant Topics Considered--Action ou a Weavers' Particular Bill.

NEW BEIIFORD, Dec. C. In accordance vith a call issued by the New Bedfoid Cotou Weavers' Protective assoeiatiou for a onvention. of the textile operatives of tbe tate, 45 delegates, representing union peratives to the number of 15,000 or more, atheied at Spinners' ball yesterday. Mathew Hart called to order and presided, nd Samuel Ross was chosen secretary.

Secretary Ross reviewed the legislation of he past In the inteiest of textile employes spoke hopefully of the future. Matthew Hart spoke at some length on he enforcement of the factory laws, and ielieved that the factory inspectors should je given a gieat increase in their powers, order that they might compel mannfaC- establishments to observe at least iomething of the letter aud the spiiit of he laws. Without such power beins: 'en to the inspectors, he claimed, the employes are unable to obtain the benefits contemplated in the law. The present weavers' "particulars" law regarded as of no advantage or. pro- action to the operatives, and drafts of Jills fiom which it is proposed to select oue to present to the legislature at the iresent session, were brought before the meeting.

After a brief discussion they were referred to a committee of which vill cousider them and make a draft embodying what the weavers demand. Resolutions on iborter hours of labor were introduced and referred to a commit- of five ou resolutions. New Jersey, it claimed, is able to compete with Pennsylvania and New York, while her operatives ai employed but 55 hours per week as against 60 hours in the latter states, ana that short hours result in no suffering by competition either to manufacturers or em- ployes. If this is true of the silk industry is also true of the cotton industry. In the afternoon resolutions declaring in Favor of the 56 hour bill, were adopted" as follows: ''Whereas, there has been some doubt as to the feeling of the textile workers as to what extent it is desirable to shorten the working day of the textilfc operatives, therefore be it that we, the delegates in convention assembled, declare favor of tbe oC hour bill now on the table of the Massachusetts legislature." The closing hour was devoted to a discussion of the particulars bill.

A committee was appointed to draft a bill to be sented to tlie legislature and a permanen committee was also appointed to watch the bill through its different stages after it ii presented. Today a discussion will be had on fac tory inspectors and over-time JOHN CASSIDY DEAD. For Several Years He Had Been a Popn lar Ball Tosser.

Pi obibly no one in the city had jmore friems man "Jack" Cassidy. as he wai familiarly called. He was of a quiet, retiring disposition quite reserved, and among his friends wa a general favorite. He was the possessor a bright, sunny disposition, always reads to give or take a "joke," and he was ai ways good company.

Several years aso he was better know; on the base ball field than anywhere else In 1886, he was a member of the famou base ball team connected with the Mathe Temperance institute, and as catcher mad quite a record. He shared in all th triumphs of the team during the year, i the year following, though but 19 ysars he played several games with the champion Lowells, and afterwards receivec a permanent engagement with the Haver- hills of the New England league. During his base ball career he wa looked upon as a piomising player. HI was full of "pluck," and this contribute! greatly to his success on the "diamond. 1 Failing health compelled him to sepaiad from the national came, and seek a livell hood in other fields.

Before being confined to his home, he was employed by Mr. John Burns as a clerk. Mr. Cassidy's death will he greatly morned by his wide c'ucle of friends. The funeral will take place at 9 o'clock Monday moniini; from the Immaculate Conception church.

A largely attended meeting of tho in- weavers of tbe Lovjell C'aipet mills was held Ust evening in Burkes' ball, it which action was taken on the report of he committee appointed at a recent nieeC- ng to confer with AgerA. Lyon reference to the cut down. Theie are some 300 ingrain in mills and of these over 2UO were present at the meeting. Tlje committee re- )orted that they had heeft received by the igeut, who had treated tbjemcoidially; but had offered them no the present condition of market making it mpossibleto act otherwisb.He assured them their wages should lie restored at the earliest possible moment, or as soon the market would alldV it. Jle expressed that such a policy vrfts necessity, but was unavoidable.

The proposition to adopt and accept the reduction for the presentltakinginto consideration the sufferings which a strllce would the poorer weavers who have families depending upon them, vas met with great opposition by several who were in favor of striking under, any circumstancES unless the cut down is withdrawn. Many speeches were made and at one it looked as if a strike would beveled, jut the strong arguments of the conserva- members who cautioned the members against a strike, which would throw hundreds out of work in midwinter and at a time when work is scarcOj and money more so. Finally the meetings voted to accept ihe company's reduction snd instructed the standing committee on stfikes to wait upon Agent "Lyon and inform them of their action. It was a wise action to accept the cut down in the opinion of many of the members who would rather.hare 90 per eeut. of regulaf wages than no wiges at all.

The Brussels Weavers. The Brussels weavers, about 180 in number, met last eveningvat Mathews hall and discussed the question of accepting the cut down.

At the opening of the aftm'ioou session riutchins uudeinent a rigid cross-examination by the corporation counsel, Lawyer Uichardson. In answer to questions put, the defendant said that he thought lie had played joker for money not over 10 limes since nis uiairiage. He also explained the game of "stud'' pokei as different from Mr. Morse, grandfather of the Defendant, was placed on the stand. Dur- Hg the moraine; session the goverusueut had sought to prove that Mr.

Morse who visited the counting room of the L. M. so often, and it was intimated to Hutchius that the old gentleman was not wanted there, called on many of these occasions, if not all, to demand payment of a portion of a debt of $150 or thereabouts which Hut- owed Him. Mr. Morse testified that he lived in Gbehnsford and had reared the defendant.

Whenever he came to town he went to see the young man at his office; sometimes in a friendiy call; other times with a message from his far away motlior; but never to demand money for he felt that Hutchins was honest and would pay 1iis debts when he could. The last witness he called wtw one i government's, John Marrcn, the night watchman who let Hulchins in on the night when it is claimed he stole money. Marren had pieviously testified that when Hutchins went up oflice the gas there was not lighted. On the stand yesterday afternoon "he became quite confused and was understood to contradict himself. The arguments were then begun, Lawyer Burke for the defendant spoke first, and in an address which consumed three quarters of an hour delivered oue of the finest aiguments heard in the little old court room for many a day.

Mr. Richardson followed with a very able aigument of about the same length, and at its conclusion Judge Hadley informed the lawyeis that he would rentier a 'decision in one, Week.

On a Serlong By arresting Eichard Donovan and John Hurley yesterday, Inspector John A.

Maloney of Wakefield, the corporation's detective, made a very important arrest. For some time past this business of stealing tbe boxes which protect the journals on freight cars has been going on. ISow, a great majority of our railroad accidsnts are caused by overheated and unprotected journals. The company accordingly put Inspector Maloney, who has the reputation of being a very clever detective to work on tbe case. He went to Jsasb.ua a few days ago where a number of cars had arrived with the boxes stolen, on the right side.

He heard afterwards that the cars bad come from Lowell. Accordingly he came heie and upon going to the place from which the cars had been taken found that the thieves would have an excellent onpor- tunity to wotk at this point. On his'way to this place, to size up the surroundings, accompanied by a railroad man last evening, Inspector ilaloney was surprised to hear voices coming from an adjacent car and upon going there caught Hurley and Donovan in the act and arrested them. The charge is a serious one. tion tbe ahoit limit lit was proposed to set 011 the debut c.

The day's inocuedings were therefore oC additional importance as marking the first time in tha history of either bvanoh of cougiesBsiucc organization ot tbe party that its members have held the balance of power.

He Got'a Sun After All. A funny but true story is told of a certain bridal couple iu tbe Highlands a few days ago. It seems that a few day; previous to the wedding, the groom ordered THE Sus to be at his prospective home. After the wedding ceremony the happy couple repaired to their new home Just, as they wrcc going in the front door, in the presence cf many friends. THE Srx newsboy reached the steps.

He railed to the husband ana the couple stopped and looked aiound. "Is this the place they want a asked the newsboy. The bride looted at the husband, both blushed and then the latter said: "Well, we hadn't tboucht about that--oh, yes, I THE Sex," he added as the newsboy offered him the paper. The little incident created quite a laugh for the tiros being. Better Ventilation Wanted.
