Show Sickening Details of Small-Pox. Montreal, October 6. The Civil Board of Health to-day received permission from the Provincial Board to take possession of the Exhibition building as a small-pox hospital. Complaint has been made at the Health Office that an undertaker in the East end, who has contracted to remove the bodies, is in the habit of collecting the bodies in a certain place until he has a convenient load. Detectives have been set to watch him. A movement is on foot among property holders of the East end to form an organization, organi-zation, the object of which is to refuse to rent houses or stores to persons whose household have not been vaccinated. The Mayor will propose at the next meet- it ing of the City Council that a troop of cavalry cav-alry be kept on duty until all trouble is over, and that a permanent corps of mounted police be appointed. At a meeting of the cigar manufacturers last night, it was decided to employ no one that was not vaccinated since July 1st. Everything is quiet. Volunteers are still guarding the Exhibition grounds.
