TYPHOIDAL PASSAIC.
More Fever Cases in JERSEY
City Than in Many years
Before.
ALL THE HOSPITALS BUSY
Physicians Attribute the Outbreak
to the Filthy Drinking
Water.
ILL THE HOSPITALS BUSY

Here is an object lesson for the mem
bers of the Board of Finance and per
sons who are of the opinion that It is
safe to continue the use of Passaie
water.
There are in St. Francis Hospital about
twenty patients suffering from typhoid
fever in its very worst form. TIL aver
age temperature of the patients is 10i
degrees. The hospital physicians have
been kept busy day and night for the
past month: the Sisters ave had little
or no rest.
Sister St. Cecilia, when spoken to OF
the great number of typhoid patients,
who have sought relief at the hospital,
said
now, but still we have an unusually
large number here now. During the sum-
mer months we have had as many as 2

are too careful"
Have you had more cases of typhoid
this summer than hsretofore?" s,a.ou
"Oh, yes, by far" replied the Sister.
81 cannot say how many have been treat
ed here, but / know we never had SO
many before. I understand that II. is
dying out somewhat throughout the CITY,
That is the reason We have fewer pa
tients here now than during July, Aug
ust and September"
In the early part of July and again in
August, Health Inspector BENJAMIN de-
clared that he believed typhoid fever
would become epidemic unless some
thing was done to remedy the condition
of the water. How far he came from be-
ing correct is demonstrated by the great
number of cases that came under his
notice and the number looked after by
st. Francis Hospital alone.
AT CHRIST HOSPITAL.
At Christ Hospital, on Palisade ave-
nue.. there are now confined twelve, ty-
phoid fever patients, of which one, a
young woman, is liable to die. During
the summer, since July l, there were
fifty typhoid patients admitted, of which
three died. DR.. Wallace White, who is
sn charge of the hospital, told a Jersey
City News" reporter that IN most every
case the disease was caused by drinking
Passaic water, and in the other cases
it was caused by drinking common well
water. In the latter cases, he says,
the attacks were invariably light and
the patients were discharged in a few
days.

The Story of a Woman Who Accom-

Am OCEAN GROVE DIVORCE SUIT.

Mrs. Angelina Fitzpatrick of Ocean
Grove has begun a suit of divorce
against her husband, Franklin Toward
Fitzpatrick, a prosperous builder of that
watering place. For some time past she
alleges he has beaten her and treated
her with extreme cruelty. So bad was
his conduct that in May last she, with
her child, was compelled to leave him.
He gave her a few weeks ago one dollar
and a half, and that is all she has re-
eeived from him, although she has re-
peatedly asked him to support her and her
child. He has property, she says, and
has a good income, while she is obliged
to work as a general servant in a wealthy
house in Asbury Park.
Her counse asked Vice Chancellor Bird
this morning for alimony and counsel
fees. The Court allowed three dollars a
week and twenty-five dollars fees.
