For the past few days a report
has been in circulation that people
were allowed to go into the bakery
at No. $40 Jefferson street and that
there was case of diphtheria in
the house. Secretary Wigglesworth
was seen at the Board of Health
office to-day and denied that there
was case of diphtheria at the
place. There has been case there
but not at the bakery. The store
is separate from dwelling and on
January 4, the executive officers of
the Board of Health fumigated five
rooms at the house where Madgc
Hanna was a diphtheria patient.
Secretary Wigglesworth stated that
he could quote numerous cases
where people tried to say that ca ,cs
of consumption were those of diph-
liberia. Then again when a child
dies from Group there are always
people in the neighborhood pro-
claim the death as being due to
diphtheria and raise regular
scare,

New York, Jan. 5, 1000.

NEW IOrk, Jan. o, lSUU.
Through publication of the fac,
thar Alfred Morrison, who killed
his wife in dream, was boarding
with Mrs. Amelia ALLEN, a dement,.
ed man has been restored to his
reason, and in a few days Mrs. Al.
liens husband, who disappeared
mysteriously on August 80, will be
with her again.
Mrs. Allen S husband was Julian
e. Allen, an advertising agent.
He disappeared from his home, at
l63d and Walton avenue, after
starting for his work and bidding
the family a CHEEKY goodby. The
family had pleasant home, kept a
horse and carriage, and, so far as
known, the business of Mr.. Allen
was in the best possible condition.
After his disappearance It was
found that he had met with financial
reyerses. A search was made for
him and the papers published ac-
counts of his disappearance.
After waiting and hoping in vain,
Mrs. Allen decided to move from
this CITY. and went to Mount Vernon
with her son, a young man Is years
old. Her two daughters, Emma and
Nathalie. went on the stage, and are
new in De Wolf Hopper's company,
playing in London.
When the story of Morrison was
published it was telegraphed to
Chicago, and there the husband,
reading the papers, saw the name
"Alllen. On Saturday he tele-
sraphed sister of Mrs. Allen,
stating he had been deranged, but
he had seen the name Alien in the
papers and was all right again.
He was d member of the Ninth
New York regiment during the civil
war and chief clerk in one of the
departments after the war. He is
a nephew Of II. V. Alien of this
city and was related to Judge Bra
dy of the Supreme Court.
