Another case of small-pox waa discovered yes- tertlay at No, 12 McReynolds atrect, and the pa- tient was taken to the peat house after much trouble was had in gaining admittance to the house. Much trouble has frequently been ex+ perlenced in the removal af persons afflicted with thesloathsome complaint. A woman at No. 555 Milwaukee avenue drew a kalte and threatened to nnnihliate the health officers Wednesday, when they essnyed to remove per- sons from her premiers, Since nut every mau will, (f unattacked and not prevented, touch a person offiicted with small-pox, it hos been suc Rested tothe Health Commissioner that he cm- ploy ns his emlasaries only such men as are I vulnerabie to diseuse, they having had ail the eon aint to which flesh is heir, small-pex ta- cl ed. The fon. C. Hf. Reed and the Hon. Vall A. Hoyne yeaterday took the oath to support the Constitution of the United BStales, ete, and. considered themselves quaiitted members of the Board of Education. Mr. Dennis has not yet taken the cath, fyohably because ho consifers that, since the Mayor did not designate the member whose seat he was to occupy, there ta no Vacancy and he cannot assume the vosition. The charter provides that the members shall hold their scats till their successors are appuint- ed and qualified. Now Messrs. Reed antl Hoyne seen to to be duly apponted and qualifed, bat tho question lias been raised: Who do Messrs, Reed and [oyne suc- ceed!” They do nat, in one sense, atucceedt themsolves, becnuse the Mayor has not yet de- posed them. Therefore it would appear that, there being as yet no vacancies In the Boaril o! Education, the entire matter of numination and. confirmation vill have to be gone over again. Tho friends of Messrs. Stone and Vocko are working hard to effect a reconsideration of their rejection, and the opponenta' of those gentle- men are working equally ns hard against them, One of the Aldermen ‘said yesterday; ‘ldo not Hke this reconsideration business,’ Why cannot the definite vote of the Counctt be accepted as final? The fact that some of the Aldermen {intentionally absent themselves wien an important question {s to be passed up- on, and after the vote louk for a reconsideration, has bad appearance, both becauee it looks os if the Council did not mean what {t said, ani! as if some of the members were only dealrous to getachancs to be ‘seen’ by those whom the legislation might benefit.” —— SIMS, NE COMES BACK TO SEE 118 PRIEND DAYID.
