parative record Not only does the
number Of deaths Tuesday show al as
uonishiRg increase but u breaks the
record FOR one DAY since the epidemic
set IN. The greatest nun Der Of deaths
in any previous DAY during the epidemic
period Mas last Saturday 2S4 OF the
deaths Tuesday $50 resulted from the
grip or more serious disease OF which IL
was the precursor; pneumonia, o.; con-
sumption, So; bronchitis, II; influenza,
complicated with pneumonia and bron-
chitis, IL. All the cases Of influenza
were adults.
Physicians are dumbfounded by the
abrupt jump Of the grip for the worse.
Some think the specially damp spell
since Sunday may explain IL In part.
Others freely confess that they can not
understand IT. Whatever the cause or
causes may be, there is 10 denying or
modifying the grim fact that the epi-
demic IS spreading and that victims Of
all classes are falling under II all over
the city.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. s.-The grip has
found a mum Der Of victims among the
members of the House some Of
them continue TO atte TO their
duties at the Capitol in spite
OF aching heads and bones, but
others have been obliged 20 re-
main at their residences and submit 10
the care q physicians. Among those
who have the disease in various stages
ara Mills of Texas Dockery of Mis-
York, Thompson of Ohio, Kilgore OF
Texas, Spinola and Fitch Of New York,
and McMillin of Tennessee.
BUFFALO, y. Y, Jan. s-The fact
that large number of policemen are
sick with influenza has made the thieves
more bold than ever before. There
were six burglaries here Tuesday night,
jewelry being taken in each case. The
haul in the aggregate was large, and
there seems TO be no clew TO the burg
lars. The entrance to the houses was
effected in most instances by climbing
the verandas and entering through the
second-story windows.
CHICAGO, Jan. S.-The second death
in Chicago from influenza was reported
Tuesday. DIR. Ira L. Marshall, Of No.
653 West Lake street, reports the de-
mise of Mrs Louise Robion, aged 80, at
No. 345 Warren avenue. The doctor ha7
a number of other cases on hand. Con-
gresham Frank Lawler, who has been
sick in bed with tho influenza for
week, was able 20 be out Tuesday for
the first time, although he is yet weak
and shows the effects of hard struggle
with the malady.
Business on many OF the railroads,
especially the Chicago 81 Eastern Ill.,
nOis, received severe attack within the
last forty-eight hours owing TO the en-
gineers having been taken sick with
influenza. On the Milwaukee & ~.
Paul many road engineers are
abed suffering from the silment,
and on the Chicago Burling-
ton & Quincy, Rock Island and Lake
Shore 81 Michigan Southern q similar
condition Of affairs exists. The Chicago
& Eastern Illinois road, however, is the
one most seriously hampered by the
advent of the disease among the
engineers Sunday the yards at Thir-
ty-third street and Stewart avenue
were crowded with trains loaded with
freight bound for Danville and other
Southeastern points, but as no road en-
gineers could be had the trains, Of
course, were compelled 10 remain on
sidetrscks until such time as sufficient
men could be found to man them.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. SIT is estimated
that there are 2, 500 cases Of influenza in
this city and its victims include all
classes. A record kept at the telephone
Office Tuesday showed 500 calls for ply
eicisns.
SPBINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. s-Ths State
Board of Health has received infor-
nation from Lyndon, a town Of
b5T inhabitants in Whiteside County,
OF the existence Of seventy-hve
cases Of la grippe. This is tho
frst official infor nation received By the
board OF the existence of the dis
ease. Il seems that IL has taken tho
form Of an epidemic al Lyndon. The
physicisn making the report states hs
has boen called upon 70 treat az high as
twenty cases in single day, and that
many Of the patients are in a precsrious
condition.
