evidence for the past few days Vac cination to prevent typhoid has been adopted by the U. S. army officials and physicians generally believe the results to be satisfactory although they admit that people who have talk en the precaution are not necessari- ly immune from the disease.
 Local doctors reported today that the typhoid situation is unchanged No new cases have been reported and the condition of patients now receiv- ing treatment for the fever shows no material change.
 Prisoner Had Fits.
 Constable Marine had considerable trouble yesterday afternoon in con- ! nection with his trip to the Hartford Jail with Richard Fitzgerald and John Buckley, both of whom had been fined by Justice Condeu for intoxication. Buckley was seized with epileptic fits du1ng the journey and the officer had to hire a hack to get him to jail. The man was first stricken while in a cell in the local lookup. He was attended by Dr. J. N. Bull and in a short time had seemingly recovered sufficiently to permit his starting with the officer and Fitzgerald for Hartford.
 When the capital city was reached, the man had another attack and fell to the sidewalk. A hack was secured and the patient was finally landed at the jail, where he received medical at tentton.
 Buckley had been fined s5 and costs while a penalty of s7 and the expense of prosecution was imposed in Fitzgeralds case. Neither of them were in funds and they will work out eheir assessments in jail.
