BATH. January, 15.-The directors of the
Knox & Lincoln railroad, appointed to con
slider the practicability Of supplying differ
ent boat ON their line for ferry across the
Kennebec at Bath, have held preliminary
meeting and voted not to purchase The
steamer which they examined last autumn

the financial condition and business of the

are now making investigations of the cost o.

CHICAGO, January 15.-It is estimated
that 125 900 persons are down with the influ-
enza in this city, 1900 of whom are school

coming alarming. 1t never was so great as
at the present time. The undertakers and
DOCTORS have been working night and day
Tor two weeks, and some of the prominent

Sickness on the Coast.
lne amount oil Sickness at NlnalhaVen and
the neighboring islands seems to be still
upon the increase The doctors have never
known so much illness there. Upon Hurri-
cane Island there are hardly enough well
ones to care for the sick. They have no ply
siclan living there so every day they send
across life-boat for one of Vinalhaven's
doctors. 1t is large whale-boat with eight
pairs of oars, and the men are all glad to row
so as to keep warm coming across the bay on
such cold winters day as some last week,
when the salt water freezes along the shore.
They row across to Old Harbor and some of
them twalk two miles to the village for
doctor and medicines. while the rest go into
an old tum ble-down fish house and stamp
their feet to keep warm, People upon the
main know nothing of the hardships attend
ing a coast life in winter. The smaller islands
have no physicians or drug-stores. If any one
is sick at night they have to go around and
make up crew to man the liee-boat and
start out for the nearest shore where aid can
be obtained. AT the undertaker's in Rock
land where they sent for coffins for the two
boys drowned at Hurricane, last week, there
were already seventeen coffins being ma de
for the dead in this vicinity.

Fraud In West Virginia.

WASHINGTON, January 15.-The testimo-
w. Atkinson against John O. Pendleton
from West Virginia shows astounding
frauds. The count seems to have been de-
layed until it was found how many votes
were needed to make Democratic Congress
Atknson's name for Congress had heen
crossed off fourteen of the Republican bal
lots, and in two cases the Democratic candi-
dates name was written in place of the Re
publican. By these changes, which amount
to "a votes, the Democratic candidate was
elected by an alleged majority Of seven.
