RAVACED BY GRIP
Unprecedented Death Rate from
the Scourge IN Gotham.
NEW YORK SWEPT By ITS FORCE
Doctors, rpdertaksrs and Newspapers
Cnite to Conceal the Terrible Nor
tAlity Visited Upon the Big he
ttopelis by the scoorge.

New YoEK. April 2i.-The highest
death rate New York has probably ever
experienced was shown by the returns
10 the health Office for the twenty-tour
hours ending al noon today, during
which time PSI deaths were reported.
A great many more are thought TO have
occurred for which no returns have
been made. The grip caused larger
percentage of the deaths than II
has caused IN any city OF the
country and physicians are spprehen-
slye that the worst results OF the dread
disease are not over yet. They say that
there Is more sickness IN the city than
there mas ever been In It's history. Ey-
cry doctor ls busy, the hospitals are
pushed tor want of accommodations.
undertakeIs nave more than they can
do, and altogether the outlook IL
gloomy indeed. The most unhealthy
condition of the city streets, bad wealth
er and prevalence OF small pox and ty-
phus brought from Europe by Immi-
grants aggrsyate the ravages of the
grip. and there isa general feeling OF
uneaslness among all classes.
Worst Average of tho Year.
For several weeks the newspapers and
authorities have been conceallng the
real condition OF affairs. but the figures
speak for themselves. Two weeks ago,
when LIS deaths occurred in one day.
the authorities reported that only few
of them resulted from the grin, bat II
is believed that large number of them
were caused by that disease aud
nothing else. However that may be,
New York is IN the power of the grip
now, and is entitled 10 sympathy. The
death record Is the worst average of the
year. There has been nothing like il
for one day since 1872, except on the
day in January of last year, when the
grip epidemic of that season reached Its
climax. That day the mortality regis
tered at the bureau of vital statistics
was $50, and It frightened New York
very much. OF these 25l deaths twenty
seven were from grip with It's compica-
tons. This is the official estimate.
From another source equally reliable II
is learned that st least one-third of the
SS7 deaths reported IN the last two days
resulted from grip.
