speedy handling of coal and wood have
been built, and when entirely completed the
plant will, it is claimed be the finest of it's
kind south of Philadelphia. A tower of
about fifty-three feet in height has been
erected. This apparatus is to be used for
the unloading of barges and vessels and
the loading of cars for piling and also the
loading of delivery wagons. All three may
be used simultaneously and automatically

TYPHOID FEVER CASES.
Decrease of Three Since Monday Last
Total of 256.

Twelve new cases of typhoid fever were
reported to the health Office during the past
twenty-four hours according to the last re-
ports made today at noon. During this
time there were seven recoveries and four
deaths leaving 256 cases, a decrease Of
three since Monday.
1t has been suggested to the health au-
thorities that perhaps the recent cleaning
out of the old dam across the Shenandoah
at Harpers Ferry might have had some
thing to do with the typhoid outbreak, but
Dr. Woodward said he hardly thought such
was the case. The life of the typhoid ba-
cillus in water is problematcal, and so it is
not known whether not there was an
unusual quantity of germs about the dam.

Weather conditions and general forecast:
The cloudy area, within which local rains
have occurred, extends from the middle
and lower Missouri valley over the western
lake region. This area has attended the
development of slight barometric depres-
sion that is central this morning over
lower Michigan. This depression will prob
ably move eastward, causing showers to-
night in the lower lake region, the upper
Ohio valley and the northern part of the
middle Atlantic states.
The temperature is generally below the
seasonal average over the northern half
of the country, and continues above the
normal in the southern districts
There are no present indications of a
period of continued high temperature in the
northern and central districts east of the
Rocky mountains.
Along the New England coast fresh
northeasterly winds will prevail, shifting
tonight to northerly. On the middle At
lantic coast fresh northeast to east winds
will shift to southwest. On the south At
lantic coast fresh westerly winds will pre-
vail. On the gulf coast the winds will be
light and variable and mostly southe-ly
Steamers departing today for European

coming variable, with partly cloudy wealth
