FIFTY-EIGHT DEATHS.
That Was the Unusual Number in
Scranton Last Week.

Last weeks death rate in Scranton
has been exceeded but once in four
years. Fifty-eight deaths resulted
from all causes. Three were from
diphtheria, two from membraneous
Group and one from typhoid fever, the
only deaths from contagious disease
reported.
There were twenty-four new cases OF
contagious disease during the week. OF
this number twenty-one were diph-
iberia cases and one each was typhoid

is not alarming, all but six of them
being due to non-contagiAls and non
