a grudge against Deputy Atkinson tried to
kill him. His life has been threatened fire.

THE SOURCE OF THE PLYMOUTH EPI-

committee of physicians reported this even-

explanation of the epidemic, and their con-
clusion is in perfect accord with the &C
cepted scientific theory of the origin Of ty-
phoid fever At the headwaters of the
mountain stream supplying Plymouth with
water is house in which typhoid fever has
prevailed for the last three months. The
sxcreta of the sick were thrown into a
privy forty feet from the scene, and were
carried into the stream by the March rains.
The fever broke out at Plymouth about
two weeks after the stream was polluted.
By this pollution of the water supply 1000
persons we're poisoned, and about So have
died with the fever, while other deaths are
likely to occur.

LIT. Gov. LEWIS WILL NOT ATTEND THE


MALONE CONFERENCE.-The Washington
correspondent of the Alexandra Gazette
under date of May the 9th says
cit. Gov. Lewis, of Virginia, is still in
the city. When asked this morning by
Mr.. Clarke, the financial secretary of Gen.
Mahone's party, who is also here, if he
would attend the State convention of that
party, he said no. he was tired of attend
ing the Generals conventions. Another
prominent Virginia Republican in the city
to-day said he supposed that Malone, as
usual, would run the convention referred
to, but that he could not run him nor forty
thousand other good and true Republicans
in the State, all of whom, to be sure, had
voted for Blaine in the national contest,
but none of whom would vote for Malone
at State election, for bad as the Demo-
Gratis were, they had personal interest In
the welfare Of the State, and besides were
infinitely preferable to the Mahoneites in
every other particular"
