DON'T DELAY, BUT COL & A. MILL EMPLOYES Worker in New London. Mill Found to Have Smalipox. A complaint to Health Omesr 2, F, Black from Mrs. Laura Anderson, alias Mrs. Laura O'Clair, residing at 15 Shapley street, that she was mot allowed to return to her work as spooler at the Brainerd & Armstrong company’s mill in New London, led to the discovery Thursday morning that she is & victim of smallpox. The wom- an has a fullv developed case which without any medical attention. It is thought that she is the source from which Mrs. Bessie Jackson, the Nor- wich negress, who is Isolated at the pest house in New London, contracted her case. The discovery of the case necessitated the vaccinating on Thurs- day of all the emploves of the Union street mill of the B. & A, numbering | between 300 and 400. Dr. Black also ascertained that the Anderson woman has a sister and an aunt residing in Anthony, R. I, where there has been a severe epidemic of smallpox. VV‘the Mrs. Jackson was employed by Mrs. r at the corner of Atlantic and Water streets her two children were being boarded in Shapley street, only two or three doors from the house occupled by the Anderson woman. The children were wont to go out into the streets to play, and there is a proba- bility that they came in contact with other chi'dren who had been in Mrs. Anderson’s house. Mrs: Jackson was in the habit of visiting her children frequently during the time they lived in Shapley street, and she might have been exposed in this manner.
