unconscious, a week ago. Death had
been expected any minute for the last
few days and the end came just after
noon on a beautiful Memorial day, the
cause being Bright's disease with COM

Until attacked by his last illness Gen.

had been able to get down town to at

Bio Brush Fire in Benton.

There was a good-sized brush fire in
Benton along the Maine Central track Il
short distance below the station, Satur
day afternoon and night. 1t was evidently
started by spark from passing loco
motive and the flames had fine chance
to work in the small pine trees and under
brush. 1t was remote from any buildings
so there was not much danger of serious
damage.

There were r"iortci for the month Of

Pcrryvillc and Port Deposit, none of
which We're reported by the physicians
in attendance.
There was Il small poX alarm and, not
without reason, in Cccilton, on January
20. As twcnty-Onc days have passed,
and as no one has contracted the disease
the situation is practically safe. The
Secretary visited the town and saw that
all ordinary precautions were being tax
"n and considerable vaccination being
done. 1t is the opinion of the Health
Officer that fully 30 per cent. of the child
i'li W - ~ ''NlIlN hh'I'I INV ~''ll'''l iS'
| haV" never been vaccinatcd This is not
only contrary to law, but very danger.
Gus, as small poX is very fatal to young

There were - deaths for January. Il
very good showing. against 81 in 1901,
| and 30 in 1902 The coal strike has not
increased the pneumonia ratio. There
were . births against 10 in 1901 and II
in 1907
or the two deaths from consumption
both were in the First district. The
yearly report for 1902 shows this to be
the worst infected district in the county.
Some of the activity induced by the
