Statistics prepared by a London
physician show that in the Peabody
buildings in that city the death rate is
lower than for London generally. On
the other hand, diphtheria, measles,
whooping cough and scarlet fever
were more fatal in the building than
elsewhere over London-a fact ac-
counted for by the facilities for per-

lent may be the sanitary arrangements

Thomas Blake, colored, who seems to
have an ordinarily good reputation for
peace and quietness, occupies one half of
double house on Water street. Mary
Smith whose reputation is decidedly ''off
color" has for several months been the
tenant of the other half Previous to
migrating to the Water street abode.
Mary was a denzen of Bells Lane, but
her habits there made her so obnoxious
to the less sinful neIghbors that Mary
found it desirable to change locality. 1t
is needless tn add that in Water street
neither her morals nor III 4nners improved
In fact her house has been known to the
police" as decidedly disorderly. Among
her "boarders'' was Ellsmore Brown, a
habitual fugitive from the laws clutches.
He found Elkton decidedly more healthy
for such as he since the era of 'high
license and had not enough fear of
prohibition penalties before his eyes to
keep beyond the border. Tuesday night
last the confusion was such that Blake
fired shot gun to still the turbulence.
The peace officer arrived aud all three
were arrested. At the hearing Blake was
discharged with an sdmontion and
Smith and Brown sent to the House OF
Correction for six months.
