THE GRIPPE BULLETIN.
Not so Many Cases i'm New York as Was
Supposed.


If the number of hospital cases is an indica-
ton there are not so many grippe patients in
New York reported. There are twelve cases
at the New York hospital, and as many more at
Bellevue At the Manhattan hospital there is
not an influenza patient in the wards, but
nearly the whole official staff is sick. Col.
Elliott F. Shepard has been sick since Friday
and has been confined to his bed at the Wander
bilt mansion since Saturday night. He suf-
fered greatly yesterday, being feverish and
restless all day. At most of the big dry goods
stores inquiry brings out the statement that
one-half Of the force of saleswomen, statesmen,
cashiers, and floor walkers are convalescent,
the other half just coming down.
FATAL CASES IN NEW JERSEY.
The influenza has taken a bad turn in Tren-
ton, Nj. A young china decorator. Michael
Mulhall, has died of the disease and another
death is reported in the lower part of the city.
The doctors say there are fully 600 cases in the
town and they expect as many more before the
week ends.
Mrs. David Tucker of Mahanoy city, Pa, has
been made blind by the grippe. The doctors
are unable to account for this feature of the
case. There are 200 cases in that town.
The trains on all the railroads. in Pennsylva-
mia are running short-handed, one of them ON
the Lehigh Valley road last night had but one
brakeman, and he doing duty as baggage mas
ter and express agent as well. Several coal
trains have been abandoned in consequence of
the crews being laid us with the disease.

Against the Australian Ballot.

Senator Arthur p. German. at q private
luncheon to the democratic editors of Mary
land yesterday afternoon in Baltimore, made a
speech against the Australian ballot law and
said that if it was adopted it would hurt the
party. He called it snare and declared that
1t might do for Massachusetts,, where there is
an educational qualification, but that it would
not suit Maryland. The speech caused great
sensation. Pledges were made that il should
be kept quiet. but it got out last night and
nothing else is talked of among the politicians
who are in Baltimore to attend the informal
caucus of the members of the Legislature.

Mrs. Southworth, who killed Stephen B.

and fears are excited that she will not long sur
yiye.
II do not believe that she will ever be able
to stand her trial, said member Of the firm
retained to defend her. '.If medical opinion il
to be relied on, there is no prospect that she
will ever be any better. She is continually
subject to historical attacks which arc grow
ing more frequent all the time, aud at intervals
she does not recognize even her most intimate
friends and relatives"

Col Dudley and His New York Suits

Judge Lawrence, of the New York supreme
court, handed down an opinion in chambers
yesterday, in which he says in effect that Col.
William w. Dudley, who is suing half dozen
New York newspapers for alleged libel in the
publication of the .'blocks of five letters" can
not expect favors from the court when he per-
sistenty refuses to obey its orders. This de-
clsion handed down in Dudley's action
against the Press publishing company World,
and denies motion by the plaintiff to vacate
order for substituted service on him of an
order for his examination before trial to enable
the defendant to prepare an answer. The judge
says that by bringing this action in this court
Dudley has subjected himself to its jurisdiction,
and now seeks to vacate its order. But, as he
keeps without the territorial limits of the state
and refuses to obey the order of the court, he
can not, in the opinion of the court be heard
| alfirmatively in opposition to the order.
