A Disease Like Yellow Fever in a New
Jersey village.

New YORK, Sept l3-The Plainfeld On.
j. Evening News of Tues lay printed an ac-
count of a strange maiady that has infected
the villagers at Franklin Park, fourteen
miles south of there. About four weeks ago
sailor named Garrettson returned from a
trip along the southern coast and soon after
his return was stricken down with a disease
which the doctors called ship fever. He
died. Within few days number Of those
attending the funeral were stricken down
with the same disease, and in the past three
weeks six others have died, and now there
are number sick with the fever, many of
whom, the doctors say, will die The names
OF those dead were not given, but the story
was vouched for as entirely correct. The de-
scription of the disease is peculiar, as many
points about it are peculiar to yellow fever.
In some cases it has appeared like typhus
fever, but all the doctors unite in saying
that the diseass is beyond their former
knowledge.
