There are several families living In
cabins in the yard, and among them,
Mrs, DR.. Byrne Of Mobile, who, with
a daughter, Mrs. Payne and her two
children, and a niece, Miss Alice
Miles, bad core to spend the summer,
renting one of the cabins. Two weeks
ago, last Tuesday, DR.. Bradfeld's
sister, Miss Ira, about twenty-five
years Of age, aud q brother, Robert,
about twenty, Just graduated from the
University of Alabama, came down
from Uniontown on a visit to their
brother. She was taken with a chill
last Wednesday evening, a week ago,
and died last Tuesday morning at
3 o'clock A. NJ.
DR.. Bradhcld was taken on the Fri
day following; the Wednesday, and his
brother, Robert, a few hours there
after. Mrs. Byrne, Mrs. Payne, Miss
Alice and the two children about the
same time, and two other men in the
yard not long afterwards.
On last Tuesday morning the Board
of Health and physicians of this place
telegraphed the Board of Health of
Mobile to send ii physician here TO
consult With our physicians as to the
character OF tine prevailing fever.
They sent DR.. e. p. Gaines, who
arrived by the train at 7 o'clock. He
together with our Drs. Howe and
Lambert, examined the sick, but by
night found it difficult to form an
opinion, particularly as it was
impossible to trace back to
an origin. the disease, but it was
his opinion that it was q oil ma
larial type, and from the number be-
ing taken down at once would
seem to point to an existing local
cause. (although he expressed himself
suspicious of DR.. Bradield's disease
as yellow fever.) But before day
break of Wednesday, DR.. Brad6eld
threw up black yomit, and that morn
ing DR.. Gaines was convinced that
all the cases we're yellow fever. On
Wednesday morning Capt. Peter
Willersen of the Schooner Oloff who
had come from New Orleans, sick,
several days before, and who was
at Mr.. Nelson's at Scranton,
died with the black vomit. On
Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock
Miss Ira was buried in the garden
Of the residence, as the family desire
to m the body in the Fall.
