Norcross in DeLamar, but Mr. French
did call at Nugget print shop during the
writer's absence, while Norcross, whom
the editor knows quite we'll, remained

Mr.. Norcross was here again in June
with gentleman who had invested in
the stock. This gentleman has since
written us that Norcross had seemed to
take great pains that he should not
meet and talk with any of the people
here. Probably this was because Nor
cross feared that a summons was await
ing him fpr service in DeLamar, to re-
new an old judgment held against him.

mining with suspicion. This is why So

MORE DEATHS THAN USUAL.
Figures from Monthly Bulletin of
 State Board of Health.

The October bulletin of tho state board of health shows that there were 1922 deaths reported for the state for the month. eighty-six less than in September and thjrty-six more than in October of last year. The October deaths exceeded by 147 the average number of deaths during the month for the five years preced- ing 1907, but this increase is not alarming in view of the increase in population. The deaths last month represented an annual death rate to ,000 population Of 15.6 In the cities and large towns, 14.7 in the towns of less than 5000 inhabitants, and ll5.5 for the state. Hartford shows up we'll in the death rate, which is lower than that of any other place having a population estimated in ex- cess of 10000, with the exception of Meriden. The rates for the ten leaders in population are: Stam- ford, 19.3; Waterbury, IFS; Nor wich, 17.7: Norwalk. 17.3; New Lon- don, 17.2; Bridgeport. 17.2; New Britain, 15.5; New Haven, 15.1; Hartford. 12.9; Meriden, 7.7.
 The prominent causes of October deaths were: Diseases of nervous system, Al; heart disease. 126; consumption, 122; pneumonia. 99; accidents and violence. SS. Hart ford was the leader in deaths by heart disease, having twenty-one of the total of 126.
 The deaths from infectious dis eases in last month were PIP. or 16 per cent of the total mortality. Health officers reported cases of in- 1 fectious diseases aggregating as fol- lows: Measles. 33; scarlet fever. 10l: cerebro-spinal fever, g: diph- theria and croup. 224; whooping cough. 40 plus; typhoid fever, 22s; consumption. 55.
 The marriages in September were $50 and the births in the same month 2.117. This was another month which showed that Hartford was not doing as much in the mar riage and birth columns as Bridge port. The latter had one more mar riage than Hartford and the birth score was 233 to 1S2 in favor of Bridgeport, a plurality of 51. The express company held on the sad news as long as possible. but it had to come. The monthly bulletins of the health board are printed in New Haven and are expressed to Hart ford In time for distribution on the 5th of the month. This time the express company carried the bundle around the country and 1t reached Hartford yesterday. The only satis- faction which can be found in com pairing Hartford and Bridgeport fig ures-and it Is sad sort of satis- faction. nothing 10 gIoat Over-is the ' fact that in October seven more peo- pie died in Bridgeport than in Hart ford.
