A cholera epidemic has attacked the
Bulgarian troops who are levelline

thousands of the victorious Bulgars
are dying like flies as the result OF
the awful disease.
In Constantinople the dog scaveng-
ers have either been banished, or kill

ing populace and the people are now
eating rotten fruit, rotten vegetables
and carrion.
The streets are choked with the
sick and the dead and the stencil of
the rotting corpses is terrific.
1t is declared that all the hospitals
in the city are completely demoraliz-
ed. Scores of the attendants have
fled from their post fearing the hor-
rible infections which are carrying off
the people, and those who are still
on duty are working like Trojans, but
are unable to care for the sick and
the wounded.
Gangrene, lock-jaw and blood-pois-

hospitals are SO over-crowded that
the surgeons and attendants cannot
possibly give the patients the care to
prevent infection.
Foreigners are said to be contract

out both European and foreign quar-
ters are declared to be pitiful beyond
belief.

That a toll pike might be turned

Court Commissioner from Brandywine
hundred, at the meeting OF the Levy
Court to-day, presented a motion in
structing the courts attorney, P. L..
Garrett, to proceed to condemn the
Philadelphia turnpike
The pike starts at the city limits and
runs to point near the Practical
Farmer. a distance of about four miles.
A mutual agreement was reached last
year between the. road owners and
the county, regarding the price, the
owners agreeing TO accept $4,000 for
the road. The Levy Court, IL will be
remembered. condemned the Concord
pike and then came to an agreement
with the owners Of both the Concord
and the Philadelphia turnpikes to pay
$4,000 for the two roads. The Con-
cord pike was later taken In court
to-day.
Mr.. Perkins said he had heard much
about the new roads Of the county not
being kept in repair. He favored TAX
ing care Of the roads built, rather than
buying an additional road.
Mr.. Thompson said he was opposed
to getting an additional road, while It
will take an enormous sum to keep in
repair the present good roads In de-
fence of the purchase Of the road Mr..
Elliott said Brandywine hundred far
mers are paying heavy tolls for the
use of the road.
Mr.. Thompson said the road should
have been taken care Of In the bona

Mr.. Dennison suggested that the
matter go over for two months. The
matter accordingly went over for the
present, Mr. Elliott remarking that the
people are burning Goals in that sec
tion because the tolls must be paid,
while the Concord pike is a free road.
