Two Well Defined and Unmis,akabl
Cases of the bread Disease Have Been
Discovered.
By the United Press.

By the United Press.
GAINESVILLE, O., Jan. 2i.-Two well de-
fined and unmiStakable cases Of leprosy
have been discovered Within n few
miles of Zanesville. The victims are
daughters of Mrs. Carey, the widow of
George Carey. an eX-soldier. The all
ment has usually been spoken of as
scrofula. A few months ago the father
of the children died and the widow APP
piled for a widows pension and also for
an allowance for her invalid children.
In this way the sufferers We're brought
before the public through the necessary
preliminary medical examination.
The eldest daughter Is years old has
been a sufferer for sixteen years. In
the case of the elder daughter the
hands and feet have dried up and
dropped off. The bones of the nose
have been destroyed and parts of the
upper and lower jaw bones have come
away. All sense of feeling has passed
away, and the arms and legs are fright
fully swollen and discolored. Her gem
eral health has continued good. The
victim has no hope of comfort except
in death and can talk but little. The
younger child is 6 years old and the
disease is now confined to her fingers
and toes, but is going on with the same
certainty as in the case of her older
sister.

thence through South Brooklyn to Erie
Basin, a notoriously bad section of the
city. where the Gas House gang" have
held undisputed power for decade
past. 1t is the opening of this section
of the road the authorities are nervous
about, and the opinion has been freely
expressed by militia and police officials,
that a half dozen regiments will be
required to pass the cars there. The
toughs of this district have for the
week past openly declared that no car
will ever be taken over that branch by
non-union men,
Already they have begun their
preparations to carry out their threats.

things of the most absurd description
are hung on them. In one place hangs
six dead cats, strung together in twos;
in another two tin pals; still further
down the line hangs barrel, old shoes,
tattered clothing and undergarments
of various descriptions.
Strikers determined.
The forceful expression in Judge
Gaynor's decision as to the responsible
ties of the trolley companies seem to
have infused a new spirit into the
leaders of the strike. who declare they
are now as determined as ever in their
struggle and believe they will event
ually be successful, but yet are will
ing, as they have been from the begin
ming, to submit the question at issue
to arbitration. Representatives of all
the linemen of the street railway of the
elevated roads in Brooklyn and of the
Metropolitan Traction company, of
| New York, met in conference with the
executive committee of District Assem-
| bly, No. Is this afternoon in MuggeS'

ganizations in Baltimore, Philadelphia,
| Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, Eliza
beth, Albany, Rochester, Syracuse and
other cities were present. Daniel
Murphy, president of Typographical
union. No. C, of New York, was also
| present.
The situation was discussed and the
| conclusion was arrived at that notWith-
standing all the obstacles and the
mighty efforts put forth on the part
of the railroads, the strike has pro-
| gressed thus far satisfactorily and with
every assurance of ultimate success.
Judge Gaynor's ringing words arraign-
ing the companies for attempting to
shirk and ignore their responsibilities
to the public and reminding them that
they are not private corporations, were
commented upon with enthusiastic APP
proval and declarations that the dcci-
sion was worth its weight in gold.
Master Workman Connolly stated
that twenty-three men have been con-
fined in the Halsey street barn of the
Putnam Avenue line of the Brooklyn
Heights system and deprived of their
liberty. Two of them have escaped
and have made affidavits upon which
writ of habeas corpus has been
granted, requiring the production of the
men in court tomorrow. The men are
non-union workmen engaged to fill the
places of strikers.
