Death of Henry P. White.

Saturday morning when the employees
at Loring, Short & Harmon's store ar
rived on the scene, and visited the base
ment, they found the private Waterman,
Henry P. White, lying PROSTATE on the
floor, in an unconscious condition, his
head resting against large ash pan.
This was about $50 and the gentlemen
who found him were John West, Everett
Stevens and Churchill O'Donnell. The
first impression was that Mr.. White had
had another shock, remembering that he
was so afflicted about a year ago, and this
was doubtless the case, although he was
also much affected by escaping gas When
found he was lying directly in front and
in close proximity to the furnace, both
doors of which were open and the back
damper closed The fire was nearly burned
out, and the air in the cellar and store
was heavily filled with gas. He was
breathing heavily when found, and after
being aroused somewhat was able to nj
ter few almost unintelligible words
DR.. Addison S. Thayer was summoned
who temporarily relieved the sufferer
when an ambulance was summoned and
he was conveyed to his home at 4S Stone
street where tb FAMILY physician, DR.. A.
K. P. Meserve, summoned.
Mr.. White died from the effects of the
effects of the shock yesterday.

WESTBROOK.

An alarm of fire was rung in Saturday
morning from box AZ at O'Clock The
fire was on Lincoln street in the residence
of Mr.. Wright. The fire caught in the
attic, it is supposed, from a defect in the
chimney. The fire was discovered by
some of the neighbors who saw the smoke
coming through the roof and the fire de-
partment were promptly on hand and
soon had the fire under control. Most of
the damage was caused by smoke and
water. The furniture was all removed
from the house and was not much dam
aged There was an insurance on the
house for $1,000. There was no insur-
ance on the furniture.

STARTLING CASE.
Tuberculosis Wiping Out a Bluehin
Family.

Saturday nights Bangor Commercial
gives some additional particulars of
case already briefly reported. The Corn
mercial says: DIR. G. III. Bailey, state
veterinarian, was in the city Friday night
on his return from a visit to Bluehill
and other towns in Hancock county. He
was led to visit the east part of the town
of Bluehill by a communication received
| by Hon. F.O. Beal, chairman of the state
cattle commission from DR.. W. L. West
| of Ellsworth, dated Saturday, May %,
setting forth a case of tuberculosis and
| its resultant effects in the family of
Luther Bridges. From DIR. Vests letter
| the following is taken: 81 send you a
blank filled out of test made upon a COW
owned by Luther Bridges of East Blue
hill, ana while this is a particularly sad
| case it is also very instructive and inter
esting. This man Bridges has had this
COW four years and his family of nine
children, all under II years of age, with
one exception, have lived upon the milk
and while heretofore they have been
quite well they have always been enact
have recently had tubercular pneumonia
and one died Tuesday, one Wednesday
and three others lie at the point of death
now"
| Since the letter was written by DR..
| West another of tho children has died
and the remains of three are now in the
receiving tomb, and there is said to be
prospect that other deaths will follow.
| There may be an autopsy held on the
bodies to determine more fully the action
of the disease, but this is yet undecided.
| The cow was killed and DIR. Bailey
states that the animal had the worst case
of tuberculosis that has ever come to his
notice. 1t was thoroughly diseased and
even the udder in sections was filled with
pus. The test given the animal showed
reaction of 3.4, while an increase OF
temperature of two degrees is sufficient
cause to condemn an animal.
| The little girl, the only child having an
aversion to milk and not drinking any,
is strong and appears to enjoy the best OF
health. This fact alone speaks volumes
when it is considered that the other chill
dren have been sickly. 1t tends to show
conclusively that there was nothing the
matter with them except from drinking
the infected milk
The interest developed in that section
in this case leading to a thorough in
spection Of the COWS owned and in Ban
Harbor no milk is purchased that comes
| from animals that have not been tested.
People are getting thoroughly in earnest
| in this tuberculosis matter.
The commission at the present time is
practically without funds to carry on its
| work. On DIR. Bailey's return from his
present trip, there will be nothing left.
DR.. Bailey went to Pittsfield Saturday
morning to inspect two COWS, one owned
| by John Varnum and the other by Roscoe
Brackett of Palmyra. He went there al
the request of David Winslow, veterina-
rian, who stated to Commercial repre-
| sentative that both animals were badly
affected with tuberculosis and would
have to be killed.
