Three Oaks. Mich, Aug. 24.-The
cause of an epidemic of typhoid fever
among the thousand inha abitants of this
place was discovered when a member
of the board of health climbed to the
top of the waterworks2 standpipe and
found the dead bodies of several thou

of decomposition covering the surface

gave instructions to empty the stand
pipe, scrub and paint it.
Hundreds of sparrow nests have been
built on ledge that runs around the
summit Of the standpipe, and the young
birds are supposed to have fallen into
the uncovered standpipe while trying
to fly. The cover made for the stand
pipe when it was constructed was

IN DoRY ON FIRE AT SEA.
Exciting Experience of Two Fishermen
Adrift Two Days.

AuFtrt Two lays.
Boston, Aug. 24.-Michaei Reddy and
Harry West of the fishing schooner
Mystery, who arrived here by steamer
from Liverpool, N. S., lost the schoon-
er In fog while fishing at night ON
Aug. 8. A swift tide carried the two
men in dory far to the windward,
and while they searched for the vessel
the dory began to leak, and the fisher
men were compelled to bale for their
lives.
They had scarcely cleared the boat
of water and made temporary repairs
when their kerosene torch exploded
setting fire to the middle of the boat
Reddy put his arms into the flames,
grasped the torch and threw it over
board. The men then baled water in
to the boat until the fire was out. AT
sunrise on the 10th the fishermen de-
termined to row toward Cape Cod
They rowed all day on the 10th and
all that night and on the 18th until
late in the afternoon, when the Nor
weglan bark Nellie Troop picked them
up 200 miles from land. They had
been rowing away from land. Neither
food nor water had they from the time
they left the schooner until they were
taken on boar the bark.
