TYPHOID SITUATION IN
TROY WE'LL IN HAND
Number of Cases Has Reached
I64--Relief Committee
Formed

Towanda, Oct. 22.-Up until ii
O'Clock last night, the typhoid cases
in Troy totaled 164, which num-
Der includes several cases which
had not fully developed.
The situation is now well in
hand, and it not thought that very
many new cases will develope. So
far there has been but two deaths,
With every patient being tender
ly cared for, there is nothing to do
but look after the patients and
wait for the fever to take its usual
course. Three hundred and twenty
eight people have been vaccinated
with typhoid anti toxin as pre-
ventitive measure.
AT meeting in Attorney III, X.
Mitchel's Office in Troy relief
committee was formed with ID.
Fred Pomeroy chairman and Frank
Ballard treasurer. The committee
is soliciting funds for the needy
families of the borough.
Not in all the history of the town
has there come to the people call
for help which SO directly and deep
ly stirred the hearts of all rs that
which comes from Troy, the strick-
en- neighborhood. She does not
ask for help, but she cannot refuse
it if rendered, for her distress and
her need are so great that alone
and unassisted she cannot hope to
cope with the demands that over
whelm her.
1t is impossible for those at :
distance to realize the awfulness of
the calamity which has befailen the
thriving Deighbor. nor the crushing
force of the suffering and the mis-
erv which she is the innocent vic
tim. Her citizens are meeting the
needs of the sick heroically and are
doing the very best they can to
beat back and eXtcrminate the
dread fever, but it has gained too
widespread "A foothold before the
true nature of the sickness was
realized, to be checked. And it is
feared the worst has not yet come
but that long weeks of eXhausting
sickness are yet in store.

FRISCO MAY ABANDON
 EAST THOMAS YARDS
Said That Joint Operations Between Frisco and Illinois Central May
 Be Severed

On account of economy demonstrated since the Illinois Central strike. 1t is probable that the Illinois Central, Frisco and Central of Georgia railroads will dis continue the joint operation of the East Thomas yards. The matter is being dis cussed and definite agreement will be reached very soon. it is said.
 The shops at East Thomas are owned by the Illinois Central railroad and that company owns the Central of Georgia. The Frisco work has been handled at the Ninth avenue shops and the switch ing performed at East Thomas. In the event of a dissolution of the partner ship il is presummed that the Frisco will resume full operation at the Ninth avenue yards. No official statement has been prepared yet, however. E. r. Stoval. general agent for the Illinois Central, said yesterday informally that the proposition had been briefly discussed
