The Newark Tragedy.

The Barton Monitor furnishes further partc-
ulars relative to this distressing affair:
The Newark diphtheria scourge is still prevail
ing. and three persons died last week Mrs.
| Ephraim Fairbanks died on Sunday, and her lit
tie child, about two years Of age later in the week
One child died In Fast Haven, who took the dis
ease Of boy who had been sick In Newark and
went to Fast Haven afterwards. Three other
persons came near dying last week in Newark,
but the disease was arrested In time to barely
save their lives. The very contagious, as well rs
malignant character OF this disease, is shown In
the case of Mrs. Kelly, who went on the last day
OF Mrs. Fairbanks sickness to take care OF her
This was Sunday, Mrs Fairbanks dying while she
was there. On Monday morning she was taken
sick, and on Tuesday was In very dangerous
condition The doctor succeeded in removing the
poisonous membrane from her throat before she
was sufficiently poisoned to prevent recovery
The fourth set who have taken the disease from
contagion, since IL broke out in the school, are
now having 1t, and II Is very liable to extend
further The case in East Haven is liable to be
followed by others, and there will doubtless be
other cases in Newark
During last week Dr. Harris, Of the United
gion and made careful examination OF the pa
tents, some Of them being dangerously SICK and
Of the causes that may have started and contrib
uted to spread the disease. The more the case
is investigated, the more it becomes evident that
the disease was carried into the school-house the
day school commenced by children then poisoned
with the effects OF dphtheria, which they had re-
Gently had. There is considerable feeling against
Mr. Cheney, on account OF the burial Of the colt
near the brookside, among those who have lost
children by the disease, but no one who has made
an intelligent examination of the whole case be-
lieves the poison theory at all. 1t will be shown
by still better testimony that the condition OF
certain families in the district was, and is, such
as to propagate fatal diseases.
Steps are now being taken through state au-
thorities to have the investigated, the houses
where the disease has been thoroughly disin-
fected, and the places where the disease now pre-.
walls safely quarantined.

her home but she refused his company. He
started In the same direction she did, however,
aud 1t is supposed he overlook her. He has been
arrested and held. Fears are entertained that
she has been foully dealt with Certain parties
testified to having seen Miss Sands in Burlington

her Sleeping Lucy, at Boston, has been con.
suited in regard TO the whereabouts OF the miss
ing girl. Latest accounts say that the relatives Of
the girl begin TO think that the "girl in boys
clothes" seen In Burlington, was Miss Sands. The
affair Is very mysterious one, as Miss Sands en-
joyed the highest reputation among all her &C
quaintances, and they cannot be brought to be
leve that she has been guilty OF so rash an act a,
assuming mems attire and running away; though
