In the annual report OF the State
Board of Health considerable stress is
laid upon the necessity OF special ap-
preparation to enable the board to cope
with typhoid fever. which the report
AYERS is raging nearly all over the
state. In the year 1902 more than s.
900 cases Of the disease were reported.
The cause of the unusual prevalence Of
typhoid is alleged in the report TO be
the existence OF germs in the streams.
and the available fund at the command
OF the board is inadequate TO make the
proper and necessary tests. and TO pur-
chase the necessary apparatus. The
report requests the passage of bill to
protect the purity OF water supply and
to require consultation with the State
Board OF Health relative to the estab-
lishment OF systems OF water supply.
drainage and sewerage. Regarding
compulsory vaccination. the report
states that its enforcement within the
year no doubt lessened the spread OF
smallpox. Ii also recommends some
stringent law preventing the sale OF
opium TO the Caucasian race stating
that the use of the drug is Increasing
among white people.

Railroad Wreck in New Jersey.

New York. Jan. 2s.-One Of the
most appalling railroad wrecks that
has occurred in the vicinity OF New
York for many years. the estimated
loss OF life ranging from twenty-five to
thirty persons, took place last night ut
Graceland. on the Central railroad of
New. Jersey, near Westneld, New Jer-
sey, when the Royal Blue" line ex-
press plowed into the rear OF a local
train.
Immediately after the crash three Of
the shattered cars of the local train
took fire. rendering impossible the res
cue OF many Of the wounded who were
pinned fast in the wreck. Many bod
les are known to have been consumed.
It IL now known that twenty-four
are dead. Sixteen charred bodies have
been taken out. Eight bodies were
previously taken from the wreck. OF
the twenty-four only one appears to be
Q woman. and there is some doubt
whether the body is that OF woman.

Charles Shrieber, miner who was
imprisoned by the caving OF hundreds

stope at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Shrieber Is still alive. which fact he
makes known by pounding upon an
iron pipe. 1t is supposed that he II

lieved that he tapped the pipe, which

an equal number, which can be clearly

Shrieber and his partner went into
an abandoned stope in the sixty-foot
level OF the mine on Squaw mountain
to prospect. Shrieber's companion es-
capped the cave-in and went to the
Ajax mine for assistance. A large
force soon gathered and willing hands
are shoveling away the rock with super
human energy. and fear that life may

Of every shovel. A physician is ready
to minister to the prisoner as soon as
he is released.
