THE GRIP.
The Epidemic Appears in No WAY TO Be
Abating


The grip is still playing its pranks
among Worcester people, and does not
appear to be inclined to leave its cosy,
desirable quarters. The police depart
ment feels the effects of the disease.
Six men were unable to report for duty
and several were complaining last
night that they had the first symptoms.
The Cuban soldiers are also having
hard time. The grip weather adds
to their malaria and many of them
have been obliged to place themselves
in the care of a physician.
Capt. Edwin G.. Barrett has felt the
atmospheric pressure, and for a day or
two the grip aggravated the malaria in
MS system, and confined him to his
home
Men, women and children in all walks
of life are in the grasp of the grip, and
yesterday it appeared as if the epid-
emlc was increasing. The doctors are
still as busy as bees, and the druggists
have all that they can comfortably at
tend to-
Pneumonia is also prevalent to some
extent, but has not as yet taken the
epidemic form. Most all the cases of
pneumonia are the outcome of attacks
by the grip.

DEFICIT,
At Plymouth
Church,
LEADS THE PASTOR
To Ask for a Reduction in
His Own Salary.

AT his own request, the salary of Dr.
Archibald McCullagh of the Plymouth
Church was reduced from $4,000 to $4,000
at the annual business meeting of the
parish last evening. The action was not
unexpected, as it had been more than
once limited that Dr. McCullagh would
disarm his critics by voluntarily re-
fusing to accept salary which some
thought excessive, in view of last
years deficit.
Not the slightest unpleasantness &C.
CURED at last nights meeting. DIR. Me-
Cullagh's offer was accepted in the
same spirit with which it was offered,
and resolutions of thanks for his gen
erous act unanimously passed. AS a
matter of fact, Dr. McCullagh has been
receiving only $500, having for the
past few years turned $500 back into
the treasury to go to the choir fund.
The following letter was read to the
parish from the pastor:
Dear Brethren:

been an unusual number of deaths
of heads of families during the past
year in our church and consequent
financial loss to the parish. There
fore, l desire to request that the
pastors salary, beginning with the
first of January, be $4,000, thus re-
ducing 1t $1,000 Very sincerely
yours,
Archibald McCunagh.
After the matter had been referred
to the coFmittee on appropriations, C.
H. Morgan introduced the following
resolutions:
4 Resolved that. whereas our pas
tor has voluntarily requested that
his salary as pastor be reduced from
$4,000 to $4,000 annually beginning
January LIST, 1899, we hereby as
members of said society, desire t.
express most cordially our thanks

HOUSE OF f R|TNER
Totally Destroyed by Fire
Yesterday Morning,
LOSS is ABOUT $4,000
Miss Ritner Escaped Through
Second Story Window.

Yesterday morning just after the press
had commenced to print the days issue
of the Eagle it was reported that the big
house of Mr.. E. Rittner, on the corner
Of Twentieth street and Waco avenue. had
burned down. Fire had broken out in an
outside room next to the kitchen, from an
incubator, between and o'clock and be-
fore anybody was awakened the flames
were breaking out of the kitchen. Nearly
all of the furniture was burned and the
house totally destroyed. Miss Rittner,
who sleeps in an upper room, found the
stairway shut off in smoke and fire and
had to escape through a second story win
dow and was assisted TO the ground by
some Of the neighbors who had arrived IN
answer 10 the alarm.
The fire boys made the run, but the
building was covered in flames when they
got there and in fact the house was al
most destroyed before an alarm could be
turned in. There was no water beyond
Seventeenth street, and nothing was avail
able but the chemical engine. This, how
ever, came in good play, for the big barn
with all its contents was about TO go.
The chemical was turned on and in a few
minutes the barn was safe. The loss in
all was from $3.50 to $1,000, but it is UNI
derstood that the house was insured for
81, 700, which in a measure relieves the
burden that would have followed total
loss. 1t was reported on the streets yes
terday that one young lady had jumped
from the second story window and was
seriously injured besides suffering from
heat and suffocation in the smoke, but
this was a mistake
