BERWICK.

South Berwick, Nov. 2.-Clyde, the
five year old son OF MIR. and Mrs. Eugene
Glidden of Great Works, died this noon,
after a short and severe attack of diph-
sheria. There have been number of
cases OF this disease in Great Works, all,
however, being SO far confined to the
south side OF the Great Works river, a
little child Of MIR. and Mrs. Melvin Earle
having died from 1t about ten days ago.
The board of health thought they had the
disease under control, as all the patients
have SO far recovered that the quaran-
tined houses are to be disinfected very
soon. The Glidden boy has been suffer-
ing for four or five days with severe
cold and an occasional attack of Group,
but the attending physician did not con-
slider 1t serious illness. The boy, how
ever, becoming rapidly worse, this morn
ing another physician was called, who
Immediately pronounced III case OF diph-

who at once closed the house up. The
community, especially those having
children, are thoroughly alarmed, and
are wondering where it will ppear next.
