THERE IS NO BLACK DIPHFHERIA l Health Omcer Wright Discrsdits the Wild Stories About the Disease In This City.
 Dr. F. W. Wright, the New Haven health officer, discredits completely the many stories which have been lately circulated about the prevalence of "black" diphtheria in this city. He aays he knows nothing of any disease called black diphtheris. The malignant form of the disease to which some ignorant persons have given this name is nothing more than . severe case of the common dis- ease. He says that Miss Grace Knight, daughter of Charles Knight of No. 319 l Orchard street, had but a simple case of diphtheria. She is now recovering slowly, but as well as could be expected from the nature of the illness. Dr. Wright has visit- ed the house and the sanitary precautions have been closely attended to. He says l there Is not the slightest cause for alarm be- cause of the disease. There is not at pres- snt as many cases of diphtheria in this city | as there has been during the preceding months. In November, December and Jan- uary the record show that there were more 1 than double the number of cases then than there arc at the present time. Dr. Wright thinks the sanitary condition of the city is now better than at any time during the win ter. The health authorities have taken as many precautions as they were able to under the circumstances. They meet with much l oPpoeltlon Iroh peopio Wno are connected with the family of the patients. The can | only enforce moderate measures. and even these are submitted to by the afflicted fami- lies with but poor grace; - family of Christopher Langley on Summer street Is characterized by Dr. Wright a nothing more than an ordinary attack of the disease. MT. Langley has four children and two or three of them have been i'll with the disease and have recovered. The latest case in MT. Langley's family was that of his stspdaughter, Hattie May Chaffee, twelve years of age. She died last evening. Shs was a daughter of the late Harry A. Chaffee Dr. Wright also states that the report ir last evenings paper that many children have
 been withdrawn from the Shelton avenue school on account of the prevalence of diphtheria in that vicinity is erroneous
 There was ono case in the school which wal promptly attended to and did not give thu slightest danger to other scholars.
 It is stated that the county home childreI
 continued to go to the public school fol
 seven days after the existence of the disease
 among them was known, and that it wal
 only through the action of the principal tha
 they were taken out of the school even then
 This statement Health Officer Wright con
 were taken from school or properly cared
 for as soon as the disease appeared.
 Two cases of diphtheria on East stree
 have been reported to the health officer
 These are both doing well and have beer
 properly attended to 90 that no Gear may be felt about the spread of the disease in tha
 section.
 There have been three deaths at the count. home from diphtheria. No new cases hav
 appeared, and the few now i'll with the dis ease are progressing favorably.
