A Page Escapes Quarantine.

A sensation was caused among the senators at Lincoln, Tuesday, by the announcement that a fugitive from smallpox quarantine was in their midst. Leavitt Ashenfelter, a page, was last Saturday caught in a quarantine which was placed over his boarding house, where a case of smallpox was discovered. Here he was confined with thirty others, but he escaped from the house, evaded the police and reported at the senate chamber for work.
