now. This statement was made to
a IIGHT representative yesterday
afternoon by well known physician
of the city. The disease is confined
principally to Freedmantown, where
there have been 20 or 30 cases within
the past few days. Several deaths
have already resulted, and a number
of children are yet afflicted with the
dread malady.
Several white children have also
had the disease, and one death oc-

was reported yesterday afternoon
that a petition was being circulated,
asking the city council to take some
