TYPHOID EPIDEMIC
DECLARED TO BE ENDED.
Or. Mitchell Reports to Governor Stokes
That There Is No Further Danger
at State Hospital.

TRENTON, Sept. 13.-Dr. Henry
Mitchell. secretary of the State Board OF
Health. transmitted to Governor Stokes,
yesterday, the official report of the board
relative to the outbreak of typhoid fever ut
the State Hospital for tho Insane. Ac-
campanylng the report was a set of reso-
lutions adopted by the board seeking to
better conditions at the hospital.
DR.. Mitchell in his report notes that
~twenty-eight days have elapsed since a
new case of typhoid fever has been re-
ported at the hospital, and says that 1t
may therefore be concluded that the epi-
demic has finally ceased. He says:
ITO briefly review the important facts
having relation to this outbreak, 1t may
be stated that the first case occurred
April s. 1907. in the person of an inmate
Of the hospital located IN the west end of
the building, who probably contracted the
disease in the city of Trenton. Suisse
uuent cases occurred in the same wing
and. up to August 10, eighty cases had
occurred in the hospital. and sixteen
deaths"
Or. Mitchell sums up by stating that
typhoid fever was brought to the hes
pital by an inmate who was admitted Feb
ruarv 16, the diagnosis being made April
is. The patient was located in the west
wing. and his roommate contracted the
disease ard also numerous other inmates
In the same wing. He adds that the dis
ease was undoubtedly spread from patient
to patient n that 1t finally subsidized
when all susceptible persons had suffered
an attack.

CINE Slow and Stopped Train with
Little or No Damage.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Sept. 13.-Con-
fdence in a dream probably ayerted a
big wreck on the Northern Central
Railroad. Previous to reporting for
duty at the r%oundhouse, Engineer
James Burd, who hauls the Buffalo
flyer leaving Harrisburg at 11:10 p. m.
dreamed that his train had run into
a landslide at a point between Dau-
phin and Halifax, fifteen miles from
here.
He told his dream to several round
house attaches, but they laughed at
him. Engineer Burd, TO ase his mind,
determined to run slowly after passing
Dauphin.
So speeding his train up to the limit
till Dauphin was passed, Burd slowed
up. And it was well he did, for at a
point some distance north of Dauphin,
identical with the place he had seen
in his dream. the engine ploughed into
a landslide. Going slowly, the engineer
was able TO bring his train to a stop
with little or no damage.

tented itself with showing that all of
the witnesses had been located and in
terv:ewed by Pinkerton detectives,
and that they had been given adj
vances of expense money through
PinkertOn agencies.

This breach of the constitution is
justified by the great law of necessity,
the advisers of the emperor holding it
impossible, under present conditions,
to secure a parliament capable of CO.
operating harmoniously with the
crown to rescue Russia from anarchy
and revolution.
Car States His Motives.
The ukase is accompanied by a
manifesto setting forth the motives
that Ted the emperor to dissolve the

lection of temporary laws, its refusal
to condemn terrorism, the delay in
ratifying the budget, the open revolu-
tionsry spirit Of large portion of its

terpellation, and, finally, the failure of
the duma to comply Immediately with
the demand for the exclusion of the
fifty-five Social Democratic members
charged with conspiring against the
present regime.
These various evils are ascribed to
defects in the electoral law, conse-
