READING, Pa, Jan. G.-(Speciall-
Diphtheria in violently epidemic form
exists in several places in this section.
In the vicinity Of Cross Kill Mills more
than fifteen children have died, includ-

ferent families in one night.
at Robisonia, where dozen Children
have died, the disease is abating and
tho schools, which wero closed, will re-
open shortly.
Tho spread OF tho disease is attributed
to the fact that the funerals of the
victims are public and that largo crowds
attend.
The ravages ofthc pulmonary troubles
growing out of the grin have been par
ticularly fatal among aged people, it
being estimated that no less than fifty
persons, between the ages of fifty and
ninety years, have died in three weeks
within radius Of twenty miles of

droppingof the Calhouns froia the board
