It comes from an alley near Fourth street. Some excitement was created at the city hall this morning, by the appearance of a woman with a case of the disease. She had called to see the city physician and he at once saw what was the matter and sent for the pest house wagon. The people ‘ standing around the hall gave the woman a wide berth. Drs. K. P. Moore and Green, the well known colored physician, were summoned before the recorder this morning on the charge of not reporting cases of small pox. The case against Green was settled. He pleaded guilty to the charge but said that he was ignorant of the requirements of the Board of Health in this connection. He said that he would in future comply with the instructions of the board and the recorder dismissed the case. Dr. Moore, however, has decided to carry bis case to a higher court. His defense is that the case in question was not small pox and that chicken pox is not an infec tious disease. But the other physicians who have had charge of the case since it was taken to the pest house say that was and is a case of smallpox. Dr. Moore asked for time in which to secure counsel and the hearing was post poned. FASHION’S LATEST WHIMS In Dainty Jewelry Can Be Seen at Lazarus’ Jewelry Palace.
