The Disease Exists Among Italian and He.
brew Immigrants Landed In New York.

fBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
New YORK, February ADMINISTRATION
by the health officers has developed the
existence of an epidemic Of typhus-feyer
among recently arrived Hebrew and Ital-
ian immigrants who came here by the
steamer Massllia January 30th. The He
brews came from Odessa and were shipped
at Marseilles. The Italians shipped at
Naples.
All were extremely poor, and the He
brews had suffered great privations before
reaching Marseilles. They were among
those driven from Russia. They had o
stormy passage and were in bad physical
condition on arriving, but the typhus did
not develop among them until some time
after they landed. 1t has increased among
the immigrants and those among whom
they have been living until the condition
of affairs has become alarming. Eighteen
new cases were discovered to-day, and
about fifty had previously been reported.
All typhus patients are being removed to
the hospital at North Brother Island as
fast a. possible.

Mrs. David Topping and L. s. Read.


Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
ONAScocK. February 11.-Mr. j. Brad.
Beverley. OF Fauquier. vice-president of
the State Farmers Alliance. is now on the
Eastern Shore making addresses IN the
different neighborhoods in the interest OF
the order. He spoke here yesterday af-
ternoon in the Town Hall to good audi
ence and made favorable impression on
all who heard him. He spoke at Hallwood
this morning and at Atlantic this after
noon.
TWO COUNTIES.
1t is thought by some that the agitation
of the pubiic-road question will start a
movement for the DIVISION of Accomac
into two counties. This county Is very
long one. and 1t is very inconyenient for
persons living in some parts OF the county
to reach the courthouse: yet the identity
of interests of all the people and the his
toric record of the county will plead with
tremendous effect against the division of
1t.
MRS. TOPPING DEAD.
Mrs. David Topping died here yesterday
at the home OF Mr.. John w. Duncan, her
son-in-law. after lingering illness. Her
remains were inferred to-day in the family
burylng-ground, near Drummondtown.

Ecnnnmics of the Pnnr.

A cheerful creature, who deserves
more credit for her courage than many
heroes who have died ON the field OF bat
tie, gave detailed list of her "econom-
les" to a reporter few weeks ago.
"Shoes are the greatest expense She
said; "they cost fifty cents, and my boy
has to have new pair every week" 1t
is pitiful, when one reflects that for two
dollars the boy might have pair of
shoes which would last him four monthsi
These are the economies of the very
poor. They buy worthless things, and
are obliged TO do so often, for the simple
fact that they have not enough ready
money to buy good ones.
They cannot lay in quantities of pro-
visions nor buy healthful ones for the
same reason, and are consequently kept
poor and poorly clad and nourished be-
cause they cannot afford an outlay. In
furnishing their houses it is the same
thing. A cheap stove and cheap chair,
which wear out and break down shortly,
are the only ones that can be got at the
moment Mary Abbott in Chicago Post.

An odd Railway.

'One Of the queerest railroads any
where in the country" said the Rev. ID.
s. Banks, of North Ontario, lis novel
line that runs from South Ontario, In
San Bernardino county, where live.
The line is seven miles long A span Of
stout mules draw the car up over the
road. There is nothing singular about
that, but it comes in on the return trip.
THE seven miles are on "a tilt all the
way, although the track does not look
like it. So when the car starts back the
mules get ON and take ride, the car
booming over the whole line by gravity.
The mules enjoy IL too. They ride there
in as self satisfied way as any other
passenger, and the view seems equally
charming. North Ontario, you know.
is situated at the mouth of San Antonio
canyon, but there are lot of magnifi-
cent mountains around there. One col
ony-for they can scarcely be called
towns--is situated on the Santa Fe road
and the other on the Southern Pacific.
II is the seven miles of street railway
that connect the two.
The way they get the mules aboard
is this; There is little truck under the
car, and it is pulled out, becoming an
adjunct to the regular passenger depart
ment. The moment the truck is slid
out the intelligent animals make "A start
for it and step up and on. 1t is extreme
ly amusing-the way they do il and the
way they enjoy this ride, and they are
great favorites with the people. San
