STRoUDsBURG, Pa, Jan. 12.
~ TILL another death from diph-
" liberia is the news received from
nm the afflicted family of Andrew
" Albert, at Delaware Water Gap.
A promising young lady, Mabel, aged
10, is the last victim of the dreaded
disease, making total Of six deaths in
the family since Jan, l. A young lad
isstill left at home for the poor paren ts
to bestow their affection on, and should
he escape death, which now seems
probabls, almost a miracle will haYe
been performed. The poor mother
who has so faithfully cared for her
children, will, it is feared, when she
fully realizes hsr loss, be deprived Of
her right mind, for she has faced a bat.
tie which even trained and experienced
physicians have refused TO face.
There is some feeling against the
doctor from Portland who was en-.
gagged to attend to the sick family by
the authorities Of that place. He per-
formed his duties for short time and
then became forgetful, aud left the
unfortunate family without medical
assistance Aid was soon found in the
person of DR., Thomas G. Walton, the
Republican leader of Monroe county.
DR.. Walton--who has fought many

mocracy of Monroe county and when
this is said, a great deal has been said
was not to DO frightened by diphtheria.
Although he had been fesling unwell
himself and was the father of two chill.
drsn who might thus be exposed to the
eontagion, he offered his service, aacri.
feed his large practice and gave to the
poor unfortunate family the best medi
cal attention that could be found in
Monroe county.
The citizens of the Gap will not
permit the Albsrts to bear the expense
which has come to thsm on account of
their affection. Contributions in liberal
quantity are pouring in from all sides
to fund of assistsncs.
