North Brookfield, June 10.-Dr. Albert
H. Prouty reported to the board of
health last night that Mrs. David Hart
of st. John street was yesterday talk
en- i'll with scarlet fever. The house was
Immediately placarded. This is the
third case of scarlet fever now exist
ing in town, but all are of a mild form
and the two children who have the
disease are convalescent. Mrs. Harris
case is rendered more complicated by
the fact that she has an infant but 10
days old. With one exception every, one
of the houses occupied recently by
diphtheria cases has been fumigated.
The exception is the house of Henry
Hatch of Willow street, it being not
certain yet that the germs of diphth-
eria have all left the little Hatch girl.
1t is thought, however, that the Hatch
house will be fumigated early next
week.
The attack made on Principal
Clarence l.. Judl1ins of the high school
by Worcester paper this morning, has
aroused a great amount of indigna-
ton here today. The school committee
condemned the article as outrageous
and entirely without foundation, and
Timothy Howard, chairman of that
body, said it was purely a product Of
imagination and that the committee
had nothing to do with it, He further
stated that, in his opinion, some of the
quotations purporting to come from Il
member of the school committee were
never said by any of the board, and
stigmatized the article as outrageous
and shameful. Whether or not Mr..
ie TO he "a
other year the committee has not de
cided, and will not until next week,
when 1t is expected that the high school
teachers will be selected. The article
was detrimental in the extreme 10 Mr..
Judkins, and his friends are greatly
incensed.
Today his friends claim that the arti-
Gle was written merely out of private
spleen with the purpose of getting even
for things that have happened in the
past.
John Splain of Gilbert street will OPP
crate a miniature pleasure railroad at a
Fitchburg park this summer. Mr..

Motorman Bruckens Of the Warren

the passengers on the o'clock car out
of Spencer last night. The spring which
holds the trolley pole broke at the ceme-
terry just outside Spencer and from
there to the power house in Brookfeld
BTuckens occupied a position on the top
of the car, from which elevation he held
the pole In place against the wire SO
that the car was able to proceed to the
power house without any great loss in
time.
Martin Bergen, catcher of the Boston
base ball club, has been resting at his
home here the past few days, nursing
a sore finger and getting himself in
shape for work next week. Martin ex-
presses the greatest admiration of the
ball playing qualities of Clarke, who
has been relieving him, and thinks that
In securing him Boston made ten
strike. He says that it is the first time
since he has been with Boston that he
has been able to take a lay off when he
needed it, for though the injured finger
would not prevent his playing, it would
greatly handicap him. Bergen expects
his club to land the pennant again this
year in the race down the stretch with
Brooklyn.
