The meteorological conditions prevailing
during the week just ended were as FOL
lows: Mean temperature. 47 degrees; mean
barometer 1928; mean relative humidity,
II: average velocity OF the wind, miles
per hour, with cloudy days. As com
pared with the preceding week, the tenn
perature, velocity of the wind, and number
OF cloudy days were increased, while the
height OF the barometer and relative humid
ity were diminished.
The number of deaths occurring during
this period was 50, during the preceding
week it was 115, showing q decrease of
somewhat over d per cent, and q CORE
spending fall in the death rate from 2l.7
TO 1875. This decrease was chiefly due to
the falling off in the number OF deaths of
persons between one and five years OF age.
The mortality when examined with refer
ence to particular classes OF diseases, shows
the following conditions: Among con-
tagious diseases three deaths were due TO
measles and seventeen to consumption; no
fatal cases of scarlet fever, diphtheria or
TYPHOID fever occurred; grippe, which prob
ably belongs TO this class, resulted fatally in
five instances. Fatal cases of diseases Of
the lungs (not included in the preceding
enumeration) increased from 20 to SO, OF
diseases OF the heart decreased from IL
to z; of diseases of the kidneys from to 3.
During the week eight new cases OF
diphtheria were reported, seven houses re-
lieved of quarantine and nine remained
placarded. OF scarlet fever one new case
reported, quarantine raised from seven
houses, and twelve remained in quarlntiBe.
OF total deaths, eight were in hospitals and
coroner certified to five. Marriages re

Oh board and considerable number of
registered letters, but this bag was un-
| injured. The only letters burned were

not finished sorting, but these were only
| slightly damaged, and were sent on to
| their destination without going to the
| dead letter office, as is usual when mails

| but in the worst cases letter of eXplana-
| ton was sent.

| of an Old passenger coach, after the ac-
| cident yesterday, and is being used to
